And the Judge was blest, but thought If strange

And the waist that his arm once c!asped aoou'
Was more than he now could span and tie
Sighed as ne p0ndered ruefully,

On Muller's farm, and dreamed with pam

And looking down that dreamy track
He half regretted that he came back
For had he waited he might have wed

LINES TO MRS. j..

Oh, henceferth cause NO music sweet
To thrill around, mine ear to greet;
For music hath no charm for me,
1t speaks too much Of memory.
IN awaking within my soul
A feeling would fain control
The loved-she lost Of other days
When you attune your sweetest lays.
Appear in fancy to my gaze;
And l would not, through memory's voice.
Weep wildly, when I should rejoice.
The blood that courses now my veins,
Each drop is cold as snowy plains,
And slow their movements-One by one
For well they feel that all is gone;
And that the heart no more may will
TO warm with hope their icy chill,
Since aught like peace hath fled my breast,
And Love, for aye, in mourning drest.

HAWTHORNE'S Bkt LIANT AFTER.
DINNER SPEECH.
BY JAMES T..FIELDs.

remember we went together to dine at q
great house in the country, years ago. where
it was understood there would he no dinner
speeches. The banquet was IN honor OF
some society," have quite forgotten what
but it was q jOcose, and not u serious club.
The gentleman who gave 1t, Sir -, was q
most kind and genial person, ard gathered
about him on this occasion some OF the
brightest and best from London. All the
way down in the train Hawthorne was re-
joicing that this was to be dinner without
speech making; "for," said he, "nothing
would tempt me to go if toasts end such
COMPOUNDED deviltry were to be the order of
the day" So we ratified along, without q
fear of any impending cloud of OratOry.
The entertainment was most exquisite
one, about twenty gentlemen sitting down
at the beautifully ornamented table Haw-
thorne was i'll uncommOnly good spirits,
and having the seat of honor at the right
of his host, was pretty keenly scrutinized
by his British brethren of the quill. He
had. of course, banshed all thought of
speech making, and his knees never smote
together once, as he told me afterward
But it became evident to my mind that
HawthOrnes health was to be proposed
with all the hcnors. l glanced at him
across the table, and saw that he was un-
suspicious of any movement against his
quiet serenity. Suddenly and without
warning our host raped the mahogany,
and began a set speech Of welcome to the
distinguished American romancer'
1t was very honest and very hearty
speech, but dared not look at Hawthorne.
expected every moment to see him glide
out OF the room, or sink down out Of sight
from his chair. The fortunes l suffered on
HawthOrne's account, dear Jack, on that
occasion, | will not attempt to describe

he had known he was to be spoken at in
that manner. imagined his face q deep
crimson, and his trembling with nervous
horror; but judge my surprise, when he rose
to reply with 80 calm voice and SO COM

Of dinner speaking, never witnessed such
a case Of apparent ease.

Commissioner Pleasanton is preparing to
urge on the new Congress the measures he
endeavored to have adopted by the last one.
He is Of opinion that much more revenue
will be gained if the income tax is repealed,
and expectation of whisky with drawbacks
permitted, than under the present laws.
He also desires the enactment of some new
regulations to secure additional revenue
from the various taxes on tobacco.
