Select guetry,
MOTHER.

No one word of human diction
Is more eloquently dear, ir
Than that word, in every household.
So familiar to the ear
'Tis title taught by angels,
As they journey to and fro,
To express tie Of kindred
Heaven hallowed here below.
), Often hath my spirit striven, iia4.
Since its earthsome task began .
To revive its child,emotions,
In the bosom of the man;
But life's cold, unfriendly shadows
Seemed to chill the old delight,
Till my mothers voice awoke them
.ti-a As in boyhood's morning bright.
As gaze along the vista
Of the ceaseless march of years
l behold her love light beaming,
Through each day ofjoy or fears;
And yet when / am the saddest,
Tones of hers can soothe the pain,
Gentle mother, dear and patient,
May thy influence long remainI
Mates of thine are growing aged,
But thou art not old to me; 561e
Every winsome charm remaineth
That knew in infancy;
Airy shapes that sometimes hover
Round my pillsw while rest,
Bear thy features, darling mother,
And my sleep is fully biest.

Congress-.

In the Senate, yesterday the House reSolu-
ton providing TOR recess OF Congress, from
the DIST instant to the 5th of January, was con-
Cured in. A large number of bills were intro
duced and referred-among them several to
build various railroads. including one from
Washington to Cincinnati increasing the num-
Der of associate justices OF the u. S. Supreme
Court to fourteen; providing that after July
lst, 1871, the u. S. notes and fractional cur
rency shall all be paid in coin, and after Janu-
airy LIST, 1872, the national banks shall pay their
obligations in coin, and also that said banks
shall, after the lst of January next, keep the
coin interest received on their bonds as reserve
in their vaults. A resolution was offered ex-
pressing disapprobation of the financial views
as set forth by the President in his annual
message Several substitutes were offered, and
after debate the whole subject was referred to
the financial committee.
In the House bills and resolutions, relating
to variety of Subjects were introduced and
referred-among them bills to legaze gold con-
tracts; declaring that the principal Of all u. S.
bonds shall be paid in coin, and bill further
extending the right of suffrage in the District
of Coumbis. Resolutions were adopted in op.
position to the financial views expressed by the
President in his annual message. The com
mittee on public expenditures were directed to
inquire into the alleged corruption concerning
the passage of the bill for the purchase of
Alaska.
