No apology is needed at this time for reproiucir
the following exquisite lines BY the hmented All
osry-lines which, in the Judgment of SO competed
critic Edgar A. Poe, deserve to rank among Il
very finest contributions to the poetic literature
This country:
OF an the beautiful pictures
That hang on Memory's wall
Is one Of dim old forest,
That seemeth best Of al
Not for its gnaried oaks olden,
Dark with the mistletoe;
Not for the violets golden
That sprinkle the vale below;
Not for the MIX white hlies
That lean from the fragrant hedge,
Coqueting al day with the sunbearns,
And stealing their golden edge;
Not for the vines o. the upland
Where the bright red berries rest;
Nor the pinks, nor the pale, sweet coEslip,
Il seemeth TO me the best
once had little brother =
with eyes that were dark and deep
In the lap Of that olien forest
he heth IN pescs asleep;
Light a. the down OF tae thistle
Free ss the winds that blow,
We roved there the beautiful Summers,
The Summers Of long ago;
But his fest on the hills grew weary,
And one Of the Autumn ewes
made for my little brother
bed Of the ysnoE leaFes-
- sweetly his pale arms folded 4 ~
Ny neck N meek embrace, E
As the light Of immortal beauty
Silently covered his face;
And when the arr0vs Of suaset
Lodged IN the tree-tops bright,
He feii, IN his saint-.ike beauty,
Asleep by the gates Of light.

That hang on Memory's wall =

In my message to Congress, ono year
ago, urgently recommended reform
in the civil service OF the country. In
conformity with the recommendation,
Congress in the ninth section OF an
act making appropriation for sundry
civil expenses OF the government and
for other purposes, approved March 3,
1871, gave the necessary authority to
the Executive to marguerite civil ser.
vice reform, and placed upon him the
responsibility of doing so. Under au-
thority OF said act, | convened board
OF gentlemen, eminently qualified for
the work, to devise rules andregulntions
to affect the needed reform. Their Ia
bors are not yet complete, but it is be.
lieved that they will succeed in divising
n plan which can be adopted TO the re.
lief OF the Executive, the heads OF de-
partments and members Of Congress,
aud which will rebound to the true in.
tcrest Of the public service. AT NIL events
the experiment shall have fair trial. l

DISABILITIES.


More than six years having elapsed
since the last hostile gun was fired be.
tween the armies then aITnyed against
each other, the one for the perpetuation,
the other for the destruction Of the
Union. II may well be considered
whether it is not now time that the dis
abilities impo,ed by the Fourteenth
amendment should be removed. That
amendment does not exclude the ballot,
but only imposes the disability TO hold
office upon certain classes. When the
purity OF the ballot is secure, maioritics
are sure to elect officers rejecting the
views of the majority. do not sec the
advantage or propriety of excluding men
from Office merely because they were,
before tho rebellion, Of standing and
character sufficient to be elected to posi-.
tiohs requiring thcm 10 take oaths to
support tho Constitution, and admitting
to eligibility those entertaining precisely
the same views but OF less standing in
their communities. It may be said that
the former violated m oath while the
latter did not. The latter did not have
it in their power to do SO. II they had
taken this oath it cannot be doubted
they would have broken it, ms did the
former class. II there are any great
criminals distinguished above all Others
for the part they took in opposition to
the government, they might, in the
Judgment of Congress, be excluded from
such m amnesty.
