WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Some people
here say strong effort win be made on
reassembling of Senate to get Hoar's
case up again, and the names of certain
Senators who opposed him before the
recess are now quoted as saying that in
justice was done him then. In spite of
this, however, there does not seem to be
any good reason for believing that he
can be confirmed.

Each to his mate, his sweet heart mate,
When airs are sweet with blossoms falling
And spring is waxing warm and late;
And care is grown Il heavy thraliing
That keeps me from my fair estate.
For iii the old familiar places
Doth Nature list. for me doth list.
And in the woods untrodden spaces
Are pathways where my feet are missed
And little starry flower faces
That watch for me to keep a tfyst.
Sweet valleys TINT the sky stoops over
SO tcnderly, SO tendcry,
And hill-sides where the whitening clover
Already tempts the rowing bee.
My heart is still your faithful lover
Remembering charms none else will see.
The Rebin is my younger brother:
Blackbird and jay, sparrow and wren,
Each year to greet the dear old mother
Come all the children home again;
She calls to me. So miss no other,
All why SO long in haunts of men?'
She knows my heart could never wrong her,
She calls me so. she draws me so;

Aside the heavy weight | throw.

SPRING.

Come back. o Spring of Earth.
Come back, thou long-long Spring.
We long for the light of love and mirth
That airs of April bring;
We long for the soft moss-rose.
For fresh green on the leaves,
For the sunny bank where the datiodil
And the swallow in the caves:
Come back, o Spring of Youth.
Come back to the hoary head;
We long for the light of joy and truth,
And the hopes that are long since dead;
We long for the breeding wings
OF the blue eternal skies
That gilded the dullest and meanest things
With the glory of Paradise.
We are tired of the ceaseless beat,
OF waves on a weary shore,
OF the clash of tongues and the tramp OF
feet,
And the heart too dull to soar:
And we long in vain for the sunlight
sweet
That is vanished for evermore.
Come back, 0 Spring of Love.
Come back to the heart grown cold,
We long for the moon the elm-tree grove,
And the autumn's noon Of gold;
We long for the evening hours
When the rocks had gone to T. st,
And from myrtle scent of garden bowers,
We saZed at the crimson West.
We long for the hour to borrow
The heart of deep content,
The light of time when all our sorrow
Was an hour in absence spent;
We are tired of loveless strife
With toll, and sin, and care:
And we long for the light of a nebler life,
And the loving heart that's there.
Come back, 0 Spring of Heaven.
Come back to a world forlorn:
We long for the twilight of earth's sad
even
To melt in 4 golden morn;
We long for the mists to rise
That hang DER the good and true,
To see once more, through opening skies.
The eternal stainless blue:
And to walk by the palms OF Paradise.
Where Heaven and Earth are new,
We are tired of the dreary gloom
OF earth and earthly things,
And we long for the souls immortal bloom,
Where joy and love are her rich per
fume,.
And "Glory" the song she sings.

Sweet Heart.

Dip southwark, Earth, and bear thy breas
TO meet the kisses of the sun:
And in thy subtle throbbings feel
Another golden spring begun.
Wake, violets that lie asleep
In soft blue dreams beneath the SNOW;
And send the naples amber blood
Through all its veins in passion-1ow.
And, by and by, call back the birds;
Call back the bloom to shrub and tree
But not from height or depth, o Earth
May you call back Sweet Heart to me-
The merest seed that fell by chance,
The merest grass-blade on the plain,
Shall thrill to hear your lightest step,
But at her grave you call in vain.
OF bird and bud and warm South wind
She-brighter, sweeter than them all
In some existence, rich and strange,
Heeds neither springs nor loves recall.
Hearth and Home.

verse is from The Little Corporal, and pur-

among the boys and girls, readers of the

This is ohe of the ''glittering generalities"

following description of a case of somnam-

Archbishop of Bordeaux:
''IIe was in the habit of writing sermons
when asleep, and although card was plac-
ed between his eyes and the notebook, he
continued to write vigorously. After he
had written page requiring correction, a
piece of blank paper of the exact size was
substituted for his own manuscript. and on
that he made the corrections in the precise
situation which they would have occupied
on the original page. A very astonishing
part of this is that which relates to his
writing music in his sleeping state, which,
it is said, he did with perfect precision
He asked for certain things, and saw AND
heard such things as bore directly upon
the subject of his thoughts. lie detected
the deceit when water was given to him in
the place Of brandy which he asked for
Finally, he knew nothing of all that had
transpired when he awokc, but in his next
paroxysm he remembered all accurately

enon which is said to be universal in all
the cases Of exalted somnambulism.
