A LAM EMIT,
TO THE MEMORY OF AMELIA JOHNSON, OF
WHEELING, W. VA.

BY ]. c.
She speaks not! She will speak no more
Too true is launched the qutvering dart,
Her hour OF joyous pulse is DER,
And bleeding lies mothers heart.
q, that she, too, from life could rest,
The tide OF memory through the breast,
Against the hearts forsaken shore.
She moves not! But day has passed
since in our midst she was the head;
One winged day that fed so fast
1t cannot be that she Is dead
These racking fortunes in my head,
This heart as II with lead o'eTcast-
We dream! O,God, she Is not dead!
She moves not-and she is but dust.
With bruised heart we seek the bier
OF her, our hearts first loved and best,
An, now we see deaths vlsage here,
And awe on every face impressed.
Gods work Is ever for the best,
But, y, It's hard to hush the sigh
To calm the struggle IN the breast
And crush the tear drop from the eye.
Oh! woe, that thou shouldst perlsh-thou
Whose hours were Tich with choicest
freight;
When last saw thee LIES bright glow
Crimsoned thy cheek, and beauty sat
misunderstanding and animate
In dreaming eye and k1ndling face;
Thy step the gentlest fawn's did mate,
And every movement showered grace.
Yet yearning must 1 think of thee,
Ogentlest, as knew thee long
A young, glad heart with soul OF glee,
With radiant eye and lip OF song
A lie that knew no pulse OF wrong,
Whose step was music, and whose voice
Babe the Responding soul grow strong,
And SorrOwing form again rejoice.
Ihino wa1 tho power OF healing balm
TO cure the smart, and lull to rest
Terror and feal-tO SOoth and calm
With sympathy the stricken breast.
And, blessing, thou vert doubly blest-
Friends cling 10 thee, the tried and true,
A quiet peace dwelL in thy breast,
And heaven bestowed each treasure new.
All, lost one, as thou lest there
Silent and pale there's glory now
In the rich meShes OF thy hair
The uDHhadoWed whiIeneSs OF thy brow!
Meekly before thy urn we bow,
And pour our tears upon thy dust;
But, ., we do not weep that thee
DOSt wear Heavens radiance on thy brow,
But for Ourselves-fOr God Is Just
Yankee Blade.

Mr. Summers speech creates an intense excite
ment in political circles.
At Cabinet meeting yesterday the subject Of the
speech was informally discussed.
Mr. Bright declared that the embarrassment which
its publication produced served England very pro-
perry but he agreed not to consent to entertain the
terms OF settlement foreshadowed by Mr.. Sumner.
Lord Clarendon expressed his belief that the &C
tual negotiations going on between the two coun-
tries on the subject were Of far less
extreme character than the speeches OF
American Senators or articles in tine public
press. He hoped to find Mr.. Motley as courteous as
Minister Johnson had been. The present admins
tration was eager for lasting continuance OF
friendly relations with the United States.
Mr.. Gladstone professed to have good assurance
from reliable quarters that the recent rejection OF
the treaty on this subject by the American legsla
ture was purely political movement. The present
administration will endeavor to settle the Alabama
question on liberal and honorable terms. Outside
the tone OF the English people is antAmerican, and
