my Castle In Spain.
There was never a castle seen
So fair as mine in Spain
1t stands, embOwered in green.
CrOwning the gentle slope
0I hill by the Xenils shore.
Andat eve its shade haunts o'er
The stOried Vega plain,
And itstowers are hid in the Inlsts Of hope;
And Itoil through years Of pain,
It's glrmmering gates to gain.
In visions wild and sweet
Sometimes its courts greet;
Sometimes in JOY its shining halle
tread with favored feet;
But never my eyes in the lights of day
We're blessed with it, ivied walls,
Where the marble white and the gentle gray
Turn gold alike when the sunbeams play
When the son day dimly falls.
know in its durky rooms
Are treasures rich and rare;
The spoil Of Eastern looms,
And whatever Of bright aud fair
Painters divine have caught and won
From the vaults Of Italy't air;
While gods in Phidisn stone
People the haunted gloOm>;
And, the songs Of immortal ringers
Like fragrant memory Fingers,
know, in the cchoing rooms.
But nothing Of these, my soul!
Nor castles, nor treasures. nor skies.
Nor the waves Of the river that roll
With cadence faint and swegt
In peace by itt marble feet
Nothing of thete is the goal
For which my whole heart sighs,
'Tis the pearl gives worth to the she'll
The pearl would die to gain;
For there does my lady dwell -
My love that love so well =
The Queen whose gracious reign
Makes glad my castle in Spain.
Her crown Of golden bsir
Sheds light in the shaded places.
And the spell OF her girlish graces
Holds charmed the happy slr,
a breath Ct purity
Forever before her aies,
And III things cease to he
In the glance Of her honest syer,
Around her pathway autter,
Where her dear feet wander free
In youths pure majesty.
The wings Of the vague desires;
Butthe thought that love would utter
In reverence expires;
Not yet not yet shall I see
That face. which shines like II star
Ger my stuTm-sweptlife qfhr,
TranshguIed with love for ME,
Toiling, forgetting and learning,
With labor and viglls and prayers,
Pure heart and resolute will.
At last shall climb the Hill,
And breathe the snrlianted airs
Where the light Of my life is burning.
Most lovely and fair and free;
Where alpno In her youth and beauty,
And bound by her fate's sweet Anty.
Unconscious she waits ior me.

Many had believed the "Freedman's
bureau extinct, but its old nurse, Gen.
Howard, is diligently at work to resul-
rect it. 1t was supposed to have been
abolished some two years ago, but How
ard reports that the machine has not
suspended business, and that he has 81
clerks and messengers at an average
salary Of $l,259,25 and 26 officers and
agents at an average salary Of $4,000,
which salaries he prays may be voted,
and 100000 additional forsundries, and
things. The great body Of the white
people Of this country would be glad to
exchange places for while with How
ards black pets. But suffering white
men have no chance for "bureau,"
and possess no rights which the powers
that be are bound to respect. 1t is their

The official count of the vote in Con-
necticut shows that Gov. English is re-
elected by clear majority. The Board
OF CanvasserS, consisting Of the State
Treasurer, the Comptroller and the Sec
rotary OF state, met yesterday and can
vassed the gubematorial vote, affirming
the above result. The total vote, o.
$50, is the largest ever cast in the State
and it is remarkable that, with such
luIl electoral representation, the vote
should be so close. The accession of
the negroes to the radical side alone
made it so, while the democrats secured
sufficient gains among the white popu-
latiSn as an offset. Of the entire vote
English received 47,49O, and Jewell
4C,450, with II scattering, leaving En-
gIish a clear majority Of %. This is
exactly the numberot votes the radicals
claim SD Guild be added in favor of Jew
ell trGm Cheshire, which would then
make it a tie. But, Of the scattering
votes, SIX are for 81. L. English" and
81. English y; and il, when the Legis.
iature pronounces on the matter, it
cunts these votes for Gov English, as
the law directs, the democratic cardi-
date will have six majority over all.
The radicals rest all their hopes upon
The Legislature, which, being strongly
of their stripe, may do some curious
things. But the official count has de-
te1nined that Gov. English is elected
by the people, and he will doubtless

The disadvantages under which the
democrats Of Connecticut labor in con-
sequence Of the rotten borough system
Of representation in the Legislature pc
culiar to that State should be understood.
The democrats might be in q majority
Of fifty thousand on the popular vote
and yet the republicans, under the pres
ent un-republican arrangement, could
control the lower branch Of the Legis
lature. Representatives are not appor
toned among the towns on the basis OF
population, TO show how wrongiully
this inequality works one instance will
suffice, The republican town Of Sims
bury polls but 334 votes, and has two
representatives in the Legislature, while
the democratic town of New Haven
polls nearly 9O)) votes, and has no
more. If Simsbury is justly entitled to
two representatives, then New Haven
should have iifty-threo; and thus it is
that the democrats are swindled out Of
the Legislature.

Both crews were OUT for practice nearly all the
