Reply to the Deso1ate Heart.



THAI "Desolate Heartp' Who pitties II dearly
The peace thatyou crave, feel lmOst sincerely
And that tranquility you fain would possesi
Oh yesi your thoughts Of by-gone years
Should be-dlm your eyes with bitter tears,
And add 70 your minds heayinesS-
"Oh aching heart p Does It seem to ache
For that promise tome you once did break,
TO leave me miserable on the earthf
Ache on, cruel heart, until you repent,
For fear your vile actions may only be lent,
Old Satan may giveyou a suitable berth.
eoh burdened heartl" Yes, you are burdenec
with grief,
From which you never should nnd relief,
Until your debt to me is paid;
"A desert drear9" You are right trow,
Asettled heart could not break such vow; !
Nor cancel the words You have said.
To change your life from "a dismal gloom,
A charnal house, a living tomb"
Is work 1 have nobly planned.
A CLEAN Of hope would appear, to light
And drive away your darkest night =
If you would still claim my hand.
"Oh, vacant heart Oh, hardened heartl
You wound me with a poisoned dart
And bind me down with blank despair.
You hold me fast; can't be free
I'll die Of my own misery, ,
While hope shall cheer you everywhere.

Anad plaon for Editnln.

The editor Of the Pittsburg Lead.
er was recently found guilty oflibel
in the courts Of that city, and sen.
fenced to pay a fine Of $3.50 and
costs Of prosecution. His offence
consisted Of publishing the evidence
in a case tried before the court,
which contained some matters de-
rogatory to the character Of Daniel
O'Neil, editor Of the Dispatch. The
Judge decided in his ruling, that
publication of trials was no more to
be permitted, if they contained mat
ter OF a libellious nature than any
thing else Of slanderous bearing.
The old law, Of the greater the
truth the greater the libel" is still
In force in Pennsylvania, to thedis-
grace Of its legislature, be It said,
and as a matter Of course, the press
is muzzled to a great extent. The
injustice Of the present sentence is
made more palpable by the fact that
O'Neil, the editor Of the Dispatoh,
who was the plaintiff in the case,
has always been one of the most
bitter writer's of the Pittsburg press,
and one who would probably have
come under this ruling many times,
had he been prosecuted, We hope
this matter may not recoil on his
own head, and we are sorry to see
that one editoy should prosecute
another for the most ordinary liber-
ty Of the press. To our friend Pit
took, we extend our condolence.-

Congressional Gossip.

There is but little gossip ahoa

thOritatively that Thad. Stevens ex
poets to die in the harness; also
that Judge Underwood Is Radical
Roscoe Conkling Is the best dress
ed man in Congress. Reverdy
johnson has more dignity in bis
makeup than any other member
Of the Senate. Thad. Stevens looks
like Methodist preacher. I'm
peacher Ashley has had his hya-
cinth locks combed. Judge vii
son, Of Iowa, has grown gray in
two years, and dresses more like q
plow-boy, as be used to. Billy
Williams of Indiana, has got new
pair Of gold eyeglasses, which he
hasn't worn long enough to become
accustomed to, and consequently
looks through them very awkward
ly, although he wears them all the
time. Illinois Wasbburn lost mucl
Of his obesity during his recent Eu-
ropean trip; but, as usual, swing S
his hands and arms when he talks.
very much like the fans Of wind
mill.
Gen. Logan has had his hair cut,
and looks very much like Zeb
Vance, late rebel Governor of
North Carolina. Speaker Colfax's
tongue is set on pivot in the mid
die of his mouth, so that he can talk
faster than Barnum's | ghtning cal
culator can cipher. Jack Rogers is
next to Speaker Colfax, the fastest
talker in the world, and next to Cic-
ero, whose mantle fell on bis
shoulders and slid off the ground,
nobody has picked it up since, J is
the longest sentenced man that ev-
er lived. Gen. Grant got through
public interviewing at AppomattOx
Court House, and hasn't had one
with anybody since. People won't
believe me when l say that Ross, o.
is a joker, but say he tries
to be one. Eldridge, of Wisconsin,
never madea speech of more than |
ten minutes duration in his life, and
is one of the ablest DN1Rocrats in
Marshall, of Illinois, is
improving in health. Hooper, Of
Massachusetts, shows in his face, as
well as in the rotundity Of his per
son that he is the best liver in the
House, looks like the ghost of
cork-screw. He is so thin
that he has to stand up twice to
make a shadow, and yet he is a
liver. General Garfield has
got the strongest voice of any man
in Congress; General Logan the
oudest; Colfax the deepest; Thad.
Stevens the weakest, and Kelly, of
