Texas, got the privilege of the floor TO eX-
plain away what he feared would he re-
eardcd as a responsibility on the part of the
House for the apparently opprobrious term
of Dutch as applied to the German citi-
zcns. He thought the term ought to be
banished from the House, which he re-
parded as the drawing-room OF the MI
tjon," in which nothing but elegant and
choice language should be used, and where
no naughty words nor slang should be
spokcn. He became quite eloquent on this
subject, and WAS frequently encouraged
by his partisan friends by applause.
He WAS followed by Mr.. Finklenbers,
who argued that the Germans were think
ing, logical, perplex, which he thought was
more than could be said of some persons on
that floor indigenous to the soil OF America.
And Mr.. Finklenberg was also rewarded
with applause. Mr.. Mungen, of Ohio, IN
dictated desire to get the floor, and Mr.
Cox asked If it would be in order
for Mr.. Mungen to speak in German

POET
Not in Vain.

Sometimes think my life has been so dreary,
The future holds so little JOY to cheer me,
Eve failed so, in the work would have done,
And though my earthly course is we'll nigh run,
My live has been in vain.
Then says a voice. Why shoulds thoi, thus repining
0 er look the good which Heaven may be designing
For thee in thy weak heIplessness to dos"
May not this kind reproving voice be true.
And not live in vainy
May il not be- that though my lot is Iowly.
And seasons pass for me 50 sad and slowly.
Some other life, to me by..ioye endearcd.
Is by MY sympathy or friendship eheereds
Then life is not in vain.
If have helped to dry enc tear of sorrow,
Have made one heart more hopeful for the morrow
If have helped to point one soul above
10 find its rest in unchsaging Love-.
Then I've not lived in Win.
If but one life has been little brighter
Through puwvr of mine to make its burdens lighter
If have given to any one athirst,
The cup of water cold which Christ hath blcst,
Then I've not lived in vain.
Oh +! may my presence, while on earth / tarry.
Comfort or joy to some heart carry:
And may hear at last the graclpas word
Pronounced for me, She hath done what she could
She hath not lived in yain.'i t
