summer pays aro Long.


o, winter days are short, my dear,
Aud winter nights are long;
In which amid our dreams we hear
The trill Of summer song.
There arc no seasons dark and cold
That through the cycles last
Through every chilling blast we hold
Some warmth Of sunshine past.
o, the sweetest days Of all the year
Are days OF summer song,
And winter DAYS are short, my dear,
But summer days are long!
o, winter days arc short, my dear,
But lcngthen to the spring,
When in the budding Of the year
Our hopes begin to spring;
When tints Of bloom upon the air
Add sweetness to the breath;
When suns arc warm and skies are fair,
And darkness Vanisheth.
When winter days grow long, my dear
The nearer is the spring;
And in the budding Of the year
our hopes will gladly sing!
0, winter days arc short, my dear,
And winter dreams are long,
And through them warm a touch Of cheer
Like warmth OF summer song.
Sweet dream! they wait fulfilmont rare
When summer days appear;
And faith goes out in tender prayer
Till summer days are here.
o, sweetest days Of all the year
Are days OF summer song,
And winter days are short, my dear,

The rres. on summer. speech.

New York, June 1.-The "Tri-
bune" considers Summers speech
one Of the greatest he ever deliver
ed.
The "Times' SAYS Summers
speech is a collections OF ISLANDERS
against the President, with literary,
antiquarian, and scholastic embel-
ishments.
The "Sun" styles Sumner the ~
merican Caesar, and'calls the speech
magnificent.
The Herald says the speech is a
savage arraignment ofthe President,
and the bitterness, which evidently
is provoked by a sense of personal
provOcation, viii weaken its force.
Ii contains nothing new except the
statement of Stanton that Grant
could HOt govern the country.
The "WOrld" says Summers in
dictment of Grant recites nothing
which the Democratic press has
not reiterated for months; coming
from a man whose biography is the
history of the Republican party,
will carry conviction where Demo
cratic voices would pass as idle
wind.

Choose Wisely.

1t is a bitter lesson to learn that
friends prove false, but all who are
called so are not friends, for people
mistake and wrong themselves by
placing confidence where 1t docs not
belong.
a true friend cannot be made in s
day, nor is the opportunity OF daily
occurrence that a person worthy of
ones full confidence and friendship
may be found
In this world there arc no emo
tiOns higher than those Of friend
ship, excepting a mothers love.
There is q passion which abOunds
and deceiyes many, gliding from
flower to flower, hand in hand with
selilshness, and this is called love.
1t sweeps through the heart bruis-
ing and wOunding, unless sOOthed
and strengthed by faithful friend
ship. For ii is an unsafe ship which
goes out to brave the storms of an
angry sea, riggcd and freighted with
love alone.
lntimacics formed upon short ae-
quaintanccs with Imagination in
vesting people with qualities they
do not possess, cause the reveal
mcnt of deceptions aud misplaced
confidence which bring tears, heart
aches and morbid philosophy upon
the vanity of believing anything or
anybody.

Ih the Golden Age Theodore Til
ton thus asks the people to "shake
hands" across the bloody chasm be-
tween the North and South: 1--WE
believe in Previdential oppOrtuni-
ties. One such is before us. Not
to seize it is to lose it. The South,
at this hour, is full OF unexampled
good will TO the North. VIII the

the South by one hand, the North
by the other, and perform the priest
ly office of uniting the twain as one?
In other words, viii Baltimore sec
Ond Cincinnati? The question is
momentous, for on its settlement
the future destiny Of this nation de-
ponds. We can have what Daniel
Webster called 'One country, one
constitution, one destiuy'-provid-
ed only the Northern Democrats
are actuated by that spirit of one
ness. The reign Of the sword can
be ended, and the reign of law be-
gin provided only Baltimore says
the word. State rights can be res
tored, and Federal usUrpatiOn driv-
en- back out of every State of the
Union-provided only Baltimore

in the Cincinnati demonstration
against the Federal ccntralist. Pres
ident Grant can be defeated, and
Horace Greeley elected-proyided
only Baltimore shows its iron
gauntlet 10 the one, and its open

future hangs in the unbalanced scale
of to-day. We await the verdict

Never be ashamed of ever having
loved any one. If perchance you
have hated, then blush for it, but
not for love. 1t does not matter at
all whether the person on whom
your affections fix themselves recip-
rocated the sentiment. Where there
is nc shame in loving, in itself, the
fact of having given love without
reward can bring none with it. You
have only bestowed a gift more
priceless than any jewel can be upon
one who did not thank you. Since
there is sorrow to ones self in il, il
is best to struggle with the heart
and keep il until it is asked for; but
if it goes irrevOcably forth, despite
all effort, no need to feel like a gull
ty thing and long to hide from your
very self. Providence gave you
that great love, and l believe that
somehow it will mingle with the
life of one il hovers over, and shed
a perfume and lend q sweetness 10
it, though it has never been spoken.
Many a woman's life has shriveled
away under the weight of "disap-
pointed love" merely because her
shame in it was so great. The false
sentiment that teaches her to scorn
a natural feeling has worn her beau
ty away, robbed her OF all hope in
the presence of the future. l think
it would be better if even a woman
dared to say, 81 loved him, but he
did not love me-" with the same
sweet sadness with which, when
years have glided, she can utter the
words, 81 loved him, and he died"

LONELINESS What constitutes
true loveliness. Not the polished
brow, nor the show and parade of
fashionable life a woman NAV
have all the outward mark of beau
ty, and yet not possess a lovely
character. 1t is the heart, where
meekness, truth, affection, humility
are found, where we seek for lowell
ness, nor do we look in vain. The
woman who can soothe the aching
heart, smooth the wrinkled brow,
alleviate the anguish of the mind,
and pour the balm of consolation in
a wounded breast, possesses in an
eminent degree, true loVeliness of
character. 1t is such character
that blesses with warmth and sun
shine, and maketh earth to rescm-
bic the paradise of God.

DON'T HURRY Believe in tray
cling step by step; don't expect TO
be rich in q jump. Slow and sure

Perseverance by its daily gains, en-

starts of speculation. Little fishes
are sweet. Every day a thread,
makes a skein in year. In getting
rich, the more haste the worse
speed. Haste trips up its own heels.

Better n little furniture than an
empty house. In these hard times,

himself, had better not move
From bad to worse is poor improve
ment. a crust is hard fare, but
none at all is harder. Don't Jump
out of the frying pan into the fire
Remember many men have done
well in very small shops. A little
trade with profits is better than a
great concern at a loss; q small fire
that warns you is better than a
great fire that burns you. A great
deal of water can be got from a
small pipe if the bucket is there to
catch it. Large hares may be caught
in small wood. A sheep may get
fat in small meadow, and starye
in a desert.

REPORT OF THE CoMNITTEE.

! REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE.
/ Mr.. CHAIRMAN: Your commit
| tee, to whom was referred the duty
/ of preparing an address setting forth
| the objects of the convention to be
| held in this city June 10, 1872, beg
leave TO report that, in view of the
fact that the gauge question, as ap-
| piled to railways, is attracting a
large share of attention, and that
| there is q general desire in the pub
lie mind to arrive at an intelligent
conclusion in relation thereto, sug-
! gest the following points Tor discus
sion and elucidation:
/. The want of railway facilities.
2. The comparative cost Of two
systems.
3. Our means of constructing the
broad gauge as compared with the
narrow-gauge.
4. The comparative cost of opera
ting the two gauges.
5. Can narrow gauge locomotives
be constructed of sufficient power
and speed to answer general re-
quirements?
6. Can the passenger coaches be
made safe, comfortable and popular
with the travelling public?
z. Can freight cars be construct
ed of convenient size for the trans
portatiOn of cotton, live stock and
general freights?
s. What saving in dead weight
VIII the narrow gauge effect.
8. How will the saving in first
cost and dead weight affect the rates
of freight and passage?
10. Break of gauge or connec-
tions.
II. Experience and opinions of
experts.
u. The narrow gauge, rs COM
pared with the broad gauge, as the
means of development.
Your committee are OF the Opin-
ion that 4 full discussion of the
points named with elicit much val
liable information, which if given
to the public by the press, will re-
suit in great good.
The object of the convention
should be to arrive at the truth by
the light of facts derived from actual
experience, and, what is of the first
Importance, determine upon 4 uni
form narrow gauge.
There is no antagOnism between
the two systems. The narrow
gauge will be powerful adjunct to
the broad gauge, and in many in
stances prove TO be the savior of the
old lines by bringing TO them large
new business, and thus convert non
paying into dividend paying roads.
UnquestiQnably the narrow gauge
is entitled to place in our railway
system, and it will DC the duty of
the convention to determine what
that place shall be, as wcltas to sug-
gest a wisely considered plan of ex-
tension of the system, iii order that
the country may receive the full
benefit therefrom.
We cordially invite and earnestly
urge all narrow gauge companies in
operation, all in the course of con-
struction, all manufactures of mar
row gauge motive power and roll
ing stock, to send 4 full representa-
tiOn to the convention to be held in
st. Louis the 18th of June, 1872.
Z. uULBERT,
Chairman.
On motion, the Chairman appoint
ted Messrs. Erastus Wells, w. M.
Kasson and G. II. Rowland, of st.
Louis, an Executive committee to
complete the necessary arrange
ments for the meeting of the conYen-
ton.

There may be a knowledge with
out love. Did you never know any
so cunning in the story of the Cos
pei that they could tell you the man
ner of Christ's life and death, from
point to point, and yet have no moro
love of Christ in them than there
is fire in q fish pond? The seat OF
knowledge is the head; of love, the
heart. The sun may shine clear in
a frosty day, yet for all his light, it
may be bitter cold, and the face OF
the deep frozen. Our eyes may see
when our bones shake. The beam
of knowledge may fill our heads,
and yet winter lie cold at our hearts.

HANDs.-Neatness is the first con-
sideration which makes n hand at
tractiVe. No matter how long, bOny
or Iarge-jointed and unshapely, if it
is clean and the finger nails properly
cared for, hand can never look dis
gusting.
A soft, warm, pliable hand has
great power and fascination. There
is a character in a large hand, many
times far greater than in tiny one.
a hand corresponding in size to the
rest of the body is much finer than
the little fat, dimpled hands SO many
are proud of who possess, and 9th
ers envy the possession.
1t is equally nonsensical to squeeze
the hands into gloves a size too
small as to pinch the feet in tight
boots.
A very small nose is considered
insignificant while large ono is
said to indicate nobility of charac-
ter Why not the same with hands
and feet2
IL with the changes Of time the
idea should obtain that small noses
were only fine, while large ones were
somewhat to hide and of which to
be ashamed, would not the vanity
of humanity attempt to reduce the
proportions of that member by lac
ing or inserting in a close cot? 1t
would be equally as sensible as stop
ping the circulation of the blood in
other portions of the body.
A white flexible hand is desirable,
but not at the sacrifice.
Many a hard, rough, angular hand
has done enough good in the world
to look beautiful in the eyes of the
appreciatiVe. Girls who shirk all
the housework, making drudges OF
their mothers rather than soil their
dainty white hands, need not expect
to be loved by those who know it
The callous places and other signs Of
labor, would be far more to their
credit.
The best hand in the world is an
honest hand, be it hard or soft,
white or brown, smooth or rough,
angular or shapely; an honest palm
that takes the hand of a friend with
warm, hearty grasp, as if there
was nothing in the heart to conceal,
only warmth and kindness toward
all. This is the best and most beau
tiful hand in the world.

COME IN BEAUTIFUL DREAMS.
BY GEORGE D. rRENTIcE.

Come in beautiful dreams, love,
OH come to me Oft,
When the white wings Of sleep
On my bosom lie son;
Oh! come when the sea
In the morn's gentle light
Beats soft on the air,
Like the pulse Of the night
When the sky and the wave
Wear their lOiticst blue,
When the dew's on the flower,
And the stars on the dew.
Come in beautiful dreams, love,
OH. come and we'll stray
Where the whole year is crowned
With the blossoms Of May
Where each sound Is as sweet
A. the voice Of a dove,
And the gale Is as soft
As the breathing Of love;
Where the beams kiss the wave,
And the waves kiss the beach,
And our warm lips may catch
The sweet lessons they teach.
Come IN beautiful dreams, love,
Oh! come and well ny
Like two winged spirits
