LOVE SONG.
BY W. l.. SHOEMAKER.

" Do still love you 2'' Ask the bee
If he still loves the flower;
And of the flower demand if she
Loves sunshine and the shower;
And ask the bird if still he loves
The joy that Summer brings
Soft airs, blue skies, and leafy groves,
That listen while he sings.
IF bee and flower and bird say "Nay,"
Then my loves false and He'd away.
"Why do love you - Ask the sea
Why it adores the moon;
And ask the queenly rose why she
Dotes on the month Of June;
And ask the sunnower why she turns
Her bosom to the sun,
And all the dark night fondly yearns
For her beloved one.
Eisenhower, rose and sea reply.
"We do not know" no more know /.
All, who the secret source can tell
OF love that long endurcsf'
The charm is undefnablc,
That draws my soul to yours,
l only know that still my love
Is centred all in you--
As constant as the stars above,
Aud pure as the morning dew,
Enough, though hid the cause may be.

good form which he has well in hand, his
appearance is not only imposing, but pre-

But Fred's good looks were not The best

couldn't be mean nor hard if he should try.
One summer he tool, vacation, the first

sides, he would be among strangers and he
had lived such a busy life that he really
longed to be Qui c to himself awhile, free TO
DO and 20 without reference to any one else.
So one July afternoon beheId him step
from the stage-coach, on the platform Of the
Rockland House, in Seldom. There were
heads in all the windows looking out as he
and his fellow passengers alighted, small
group of loungers at one end of the long pi-
azza, and mine host, bowing and smiling, on
the steps, and looking as delighted as if his
ng-absent brothers and sisters had return
ed to his arms, and were at that moment ap-
preaching him from the steps of the Leigh
ton and Seldom accommodation.
Fred was delighted with the looks of
everything. The lovely view of hills, with
glistening thread of river on one side, and
smooth-gloamiug pond on the other, the
pretty village street with gardens about
every house, the wide cool piazza Of the ho-
tel, the clean look Of everything, and the
smiling face of the landlord.
Never had he been so waited on, not even
when he was mistaken lora German count,
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. The landlord
escorted him to the book to enter his name,
remarling that he would uot put him to the
trouble Of writing it, but he liked to have
his visitors autographs !; he placed three diff

refreshments Immediately, though the pas

time and strength to return all these bows.
The room he selected was the very best in
the house, a corner front that had fine
view west and north. 1t struck Fred as a
little odd that this room should not have
been taken before, for there was company
at the house, and the price was anything

FORTY-FIRST CONGRESS,
WASHINGTON, Feb. s.

WASHINGTON, Feb. s.
Mr.. Pool presented a remonstrance which
was read, of qualified electors of the third
Congressional district of North Carolina,
against the removal of the disabilities of Sem
ator elect Vance and Representative elect
Waddle. The latter gentleman referred to
was in favor Of depriving the Union men of
North Carolina of their civil and political
rights, and establishing over them a system Of
intimidation.
Shortly after the Senate went into execu-
tive session and subsequently, adjourned.
House.
Mr.. Degner, of Texas, introduced and ad-
vocated bill for the protection of the from
tier of Texas, authorizing the Secretary of
War to organize call into service detach-
ment Of mounted men in each county, con-
sisting of the inhabitants, for defence against
Indians, and appropriating 100000.
Mr.. Stevens, of New York, argued in OPP
position to the bill, as one of that class of
propositions which would be made by Arizona,
New Mexico, and other western Territories,
asking authority to raise independent armies,
to be supported by the general government.
He predicted that if this bill was passed the
youngest man in the House would not live
long enough to see the claims of those Texas
rangers fully paid.
Mr.. Logan, of Illinois, said he regarded the
bill as support to set of men on the bor-
der of Texas, who had no employment 1t
meant nothing more or less than war with
Mexico.
Mr.. Mccormick suggested that the pro-
posed rangers would be a greater terror to the
people of the frontier than the Indians now
were; and Mr.. Conner, of Texas, argued
that the removal of the Indians from their
reservations in Texas would be greater pro-
lection to the people than all the rangers that
could be raised.
Mr.. Garfield, of Ohio, moved to lay the bill
on the table. Agreed to--75 to Gland the
House resumed Mr.. Hoars National educa-
tional bill, but after some discussion the bill
went over till tomorrow.
The Speaker appointed Messrs. Buck, Sar-
gent, and Negley Committee of Conference
on the West Point appropriation bill, and

mittee of Conference on the bill granting
