A Twilight Scene.

The twilight deepened round uS. Still and black
The great woods climbed the mountain at our
back,
And on their skirts, where vet the lingering day
On the sEOTn greenness of the clearing Law,
The brown Old farm house ike a birds nest
hung;
With home-like sounds the desert air was stirred,
The bleat OF sheep along the hill we heard.
The bucket FLASHING in the cool, sweet well,
The pasture bars that clattered a. they fell.
Dogs barked, fowls futtered, cattle lowed; the
gate
Of the barnyaTd creaked beneath the merry
weight
OF sUn-1rOwn children, listening while they
swung.
The welcome sound of sUpper-call TO hear:
And Gown the shadovy lane. in tinklng clear
The pastoral curfew Of the COW bell rung.

CHARLES DICKENS AND ABRAHAM LINCOLN

From a column of "reminiscences of the
distinguished novelist, published in the
NeW York Herald, we extract the follow
ing, related by Dickens to the late Edwin
NJ. Stanton, and recently published in the
London Graphic:
"On Good Friday, 1865, there was Cabinet
Council at Washington, and Mr. Stanton CHANGED
to enter the council chamber some time after the
other members had assembled As he entered
he heard the President say, well, gentlemen
this is only amusement. think we had better
now turn to business" During the meeting he
noticed that Mr.. Lincoln was remarkably grave
and sedate, and that instead of strolling about
the room, as was his usual wont, dealing out
droll remarks, he sat bolt upright in his chair
On leaving the council, Mr.. Stanton asked one
of the other Ministers why the Presidents man.
ner was so peculiar, and received the following
explanation: when we assembled to-day Mr.
Lincoln said, Gentlemen l dreamed Il strange
dream last night for the third time and on each
occasion something remarkable has followed up
on It. After the first dream came the battle of
Bull run (Mr. Dickens could not remember the
second event., and now the dream has come
again. | dreamed that | was in "a boat on n
lake, drifting along without either oars or sails
when At this moment YOU" said the Minis
ter, addressing Mr.. Stanton, Opened the door
whereupon the President checked himself and
said, i think we had better turn to business
So we have lost the conclusion of the dream
And it was lost forever. The Council met at
half-past two, and on the same evening Presi-
dent Lincoln lay dead slain by the pistol shot
of Wilkes Booth / cannot avoid drawing II
parallel here. We shall never know the end of
Mr.. Lincoln's dream, and the Mystery of Ed
win brood" remains also an inscrutable mystic
~, parted from us by the impenetrable curtain
of death. Posthumous fame is but poor thing
when It is based simply on intellectual achieve
ments. ~

WHAT WILL BE TIE UPSHOT 4.
The Baxter Charges Against the Investiga.
ting Committee

The monotonous routine of business in
the House was varied yesterday by breezy
~ discussion, following the Introduction
of resolution to discharge the Joint Com
mittee appointed to investigate the grave
corruption charges made by John Baxter
Sadler, who introduced the resolution,
made sturdy appeal for its adoption, his
arguments being mainly prompted on the
score of economy to the State. Dillin fol-
lowed and in the course of strong pro-
test against the adoption of the resolution,
he read dispatch from Baxter, dated
Knoxville the 29th as follows: "a will
leave for Nashville on the next train. -
Dillin and Spears argued that it would be
strange proceeding to discharge the Com
mittee while Baxter was on his way to
Nashville ostensibilty to substantiate his
charges. Mr. Fleming reiterated his ar
gument that it would be grossly unjust to
the Committee and to the Legislature to
allow Baxter, who had himself been eX-
posed by one of the committees, to now
become prosecutor. The House, however
appeared to think otherwise, for the reso-
luton was tabled. The question now is,
what will he the upshOt of Bakers charges?
That gentleman will probably arrive some
time to-day, when he will promtly be al
lowed an opportunity to make good his
grave accusation that some OF the commit
tees were " bought up 10y the corruption
lists. "-NoShtHtc BdRRor, JuLy LIST.

THE CHILDREN.

The following beautiful poem was written by
Charles Dickens:
When the lessons and tasks are all ended
And the school for the day is dismissed,
And the little ones gather around me,
To bid me good night and be kissed
o the little white arms that encirce
MY neck in tender embrace;
o the smiles that are halos of heaven
Shedding sunshine of love on my face,
And when they are gone l sit dreaming
OF my childhood too lovely to last
OF love that my heart will remember
While it wakes to the pulse of the past.
Ere the world and its wickedness made me
A partner of sorrow and SIM
When the glory of God was about me-
And the glory of gladness within
o. my heart grows weak as a womans,
And the fountains of feeling will flow,
When | think of the path steep and stony
Where the feet of the dear ones must go;
Of the mountains of sin hanging o er them,
Of the tempest of Fate blowing wld
OF there's nothing on earth half so holy
As the innocent heart of a child.
They are idols Of hearts and of households;
They are angels of God in disguise;
His sunlight still sleeps in their tresses
His glory still CLEANS in their eyes
o these truants from home and from heaven,
They have made me more manly and mild
And know now how Jesus could liken
The Kingdom of God to child.
! ask not n life for the dear ones,
All radiant, as others have done;
But that life may have just enough shadow
To temper the glare of the sun;
| would pray God to guard them from evil,
But my prayer would bound back to myself
All q seraph may pray for a sinner
But sinner must pray for himself
The twig is so easily Bonded
| have banished the rule and the rod;
| have taught them the goodness of knowledge
They have taught me the goodness of God;
Ny heart is dungeon of darkness,
When l shut them from breaking rule
Ny frown is sufficient correction;
Ny love is the law of the school.
l shall leave the old house in the autumn,
To traverse its threshold no more;
All how shall sigh for the dear ones
That meet me each morn at the door
| shall miss the good nights and the kisses,
And the gush of their innocent glee.
The group on the green and the flowers
That are brought every morning to me.
| shall miss them at morn and at eve
Their song in the school and the street
| shall miss the low hum Of their voices,
And the tramp of their delicate feet,
When the lessons are all ended,
And Death says, The school is dismissed'
May the little ones gather around me,
To bid me good night and be kissed.
