For the Citizen
LINES TO bliss Z

Whose heart has you for It's idol.
Whose star is your beautiful smile!
W hose moments of sorrow or anguish
Does your sweet language besuils!
Whose visions of beauty undreamed,
And undreamed treasures of mind,
Mahes you the undermined Idnl,
Who heart is heathen to thines
Perhaps it were easily answered;
For all hearts worship that see,
The beautiful angels Of Heaven
Speculative angels like thee.
But which IS the heart of the heathcn!
To which sweet thought you'd lendl
Or maybe sigh or tear drop,
To which heart Is your heart q 'friend.n
Who cells you of flowers and music?
And numbers the numberlcSS stars?
And tracts the sword of Orionl
And swears by the glittering Marss
Then turning WAY from the Heavens,
Oh! tell me the words that he said.
Did his voice falteraud trembleg
And then did you hang down your head!
On the banks of the broad Mississippi,
Who watches the swallows feet wingl
Who heard the cry of the sea-gull!
Who gathers the daisies OF spring!
Who told you the gold on the wavelets
Sould be as your lite's future hOursl
Who painted you sweet dreams of fancy,
<AAiA NS"btClS ouA PNGAn ~ Win 4AOMSlSs
Where are he hopes that he cherished?
Where Is his bright dream OF lovel
He who made you his idol,
lie who constant would prove!
Is his proud face still Tadient!
Oris his brt W knitted and K!
Does he look sadly and CHASTITY!
Or does he lie buried and stark!
Are you his fair beau ideal!
Or are you the hes then's gravc-stone!
a monument curved from the marble,
That once " as your young hearts throne!
DO you speak nelly tendcr!''
To others with heathenish hearts?
Doyou say ''merc words are nothing'!
That lips may easily part!
What makes you look like an angelo
What makes you talk like bird!
What makes your heart go jumping!
Whenever you utter word!
Whose heart have yOu for an idol!
Your answer Pm dying to know;
Some hearts pref nd to be heathcns,
IT'S the science of being beau.

Court that he would hear no argument
after the 18th, and the court would ad-
iourn on that day. In the case of the
schooner Sea Lion rs. The United States,
sent up from the District Court of Florida,
the decision was affirmed, Justice Grier
dissenting. The question was whether
permits granted by special Treasury
agents, approved by General Banks, COM
handing at New Orleans, and Admiral
Farragut, commanding the Gulf Squadron,
were sufficient to lcgalize the cotton trade
beyond the lines of that Department. The
court held that they were not, and that the
Treasury regulations did not authorize
nor contemplate such permits.

WASHINGTON, April 2S.--It is not pro
liable that the regular monthly statement
If the public debt for April will be de
lavcd in its publication beyond the lst or

will present an exhibit of reduction in
the debt TO the extent of between five and
>ix millions Of dollars. The receipts from
customs and internal revenue resources
during the month will, Judging from the
sums which have already been reported
amount to about SIS, 900, 900, one half OF
which, being for customs, is in coin. The
extreme lowncSS of the internal revenue
receipts, as compared with other periods,
Is a fact which has been the subject OF con.
siderable interest for several weeks. 1t
Las only been on one or two occasions
lately that the receipts from that source
appeared less or even as low as those de
rived from customs. The statement will
probably show an amount in the treasury
in coin Of 100000, 900, with $4,000, 900 or
more of gold certificates on deposit.

BAD STATE OF Affairs IN ALABAMA.
The Montgomery Advertiser publishes the
following extract from letter written at
Selma few days since:
can order has just been shown here,
purporting to be issued by Major General
Swaync, dated at Montgomery, and pro-
hibiting the holding of the Circuit Court
of Greene county. The Judge was in con-
sequence compelled to adjourn the court
from day to day until he could learn from
the General whether or not the order was
genuine. George Goldthwaite, Esq, was
on his way to Montgomery to look into the
matter, and fortunately met General
Swavne in Selma, who, the moment he saw
the order, pronounced it spurious, and not
emanating from him."
The advertiser states that General
Swayne has returned TO Montgomery, ana
sent the order back to Greene county,
with the endorsement that it was palpable
forgery. Some evildisposed person hatched
up the hoax for private purposes.
