The rolling years have passed away
Fen fifteen round. since that glad day,
When many bells t. hearts hept time
In sweetest tune, the marriage rhyme;
When gIcctin. friends around you pro.se,
And hope swcIled high in every breast
When life looked bright before your eyes,
And near you seemed the golden prize.
Full fifteen ycars-low far they spna
The gulf Of time aud aS We sean
The bow all bright with rainbow tiuts,
The promise backward to US gints
From any colorcd bow above
That, happy in each others love,
The future rs the past shall be,
And heart with heart IN Christ agree.
The low of sorrow deep has ran,
Zen through your life bat it was done
BY Him who loves, and chastens sore,
That we may love Him more and more.
Not always suushn. but SOME rain
Must damp the earth for fruit and grain,
And thus our lives more fruit will bear

But let ms Oh this iestal night,
With merry hearts and eyes OF light,
Look far beyond tn shades OF life,
Beyond the sorrow and the strife,
And see the sunshine, bright and clear,
And guiding as, 80 strong and near,
A Father, hand III love displayed,
The thorn's sharp sting by it ailayed.
We see the prop of future years,
The glad release from care aud fears,
A roguish boy to love and guide,
The mothers JOY, the fathers pride.
The oaks young shoot has promise vast
To dare the storm and future blast
Here may you find from Times rude sweep
In age = shelter safe to keep.
The friends who gather here tonight
All tender CALCULATIONS bright,
Aud hither bring the crystal ware
SO free from spot and tnsel glare.
Not purer this than wishes are
For glad prosperity's bright star
To shine forever q er your ways,
And gladden. all your welded days.
A city clear rs crystal waits
FOR those who pass through Heavens gates
A sea of glass like crystal bright
Shall greet our eyes in glorys light.

Floating Elevators Needed.

We copy the following from the St. Louis
Times:
The season for the closing Of the upper
Mississippi is fast approaching, and mer-
chants-unless this proves an unusually
mild winter-wili have to rely mainly upon
railroads for their transportation South, as
well as to the East. The Mississippi as is
well known, is closed for all practical pur-
poses from here out to Cairo, two to three
months every winter, thus placing an en-
barge upon our Southern trade in grain and
produce, the very season when extra freight
facilities are most needed.
The grain trade, it may be said. is espe
ciaIly affected by this annual blockade, and
from December ] to February / all trade in
cereals languishes, and these accumulate
here simply for the want of liberal trans
portati0n facilities hence to the seab0ard.
Now, if floating grain elevators be es-
tablished to run between East St Louis
and the Iron Mountain railroad, and
at Belmont, from which barges could be
loaded without trouble throughout the
winter, this difficulty would be partially
removed. II also. one of these elevators be
established at Cairo IN connection with the
Cairo Short Line, thus enabling that road
to ship bulk grain from here through to
New Orleans by connection with boats at
Cairo, another difficulty would be over
come. The Iron Mountain and Cairo Short
Line should also increase their number of
bulk grain cars. and with these facilities
heavy grain trade might be done through
this channel. not only with New Orleans,
but with the leading Eastern and European
markets.
Would It not be well for the proprietors
of our elevators to look into this matter
We are told by knowing ones that floating
elevators could be built at a moderate cost,
say $4,000, and in very short time. But
if they are not willing to make this outlay,
there is but little doubt that arrange
ments couId be made with Nessrs.
J. l.. Highly 81 Co., OF New Orleans, who
we learn have several Of these elevators.
At all events some effort should be made

A Washington special to the st. Louis
Republican says:
The calendar of the order Of business of
the House was furnished to-day, and will be
ready for Congress on Monday next, which
will be the first day OF the session. There
are thirteen reports of COmmittee5-tlat is
bills reported by committees undispOsed Of
which include the bill Of Mr.. Monroe, Of
Ohio, to provide for the retirement Of worn
and mutilated national bank notes and the
bill of Mr. Hawley of Illinois to secure the
public lands to actual settlers.
On this bill there was quite contest. The
bill reached a decisive vote, but before it
was taken the motion was FeConsidered. 1t
will he the first business before the House.
The bill Of Sc0feld, Of Pennsylvania,
chairman of the Naval Committee to au
thOriGe the construction Of ten Or more
steam vessels Of war, will be among the
first considered.
There are eighteen bills on the Speakers
table, which have been passed BY the Sen
ate and reported fayorablv by the proper
committee of the House. The first OF these
is an act to prevent cruelty to animals
while in transit by railroad or other means
of transportation within the United States.
Several others are what are termed private
bills.
The fifth on the list is an act authorizing
leo from New Orleans. There are two bills
TO amend the enforcement act which will
not be pressed, since they we're intended
for effect during the presidential election,
and several relating to homesteads The
seventeenth on the Speakers table is an act
to authorize inquiries into the cause of steam
boiler explosions, and the last is to encour-
age the growth. of timber on Western
Drairies. This is an unusually small num-
Der of bills on the Speakers table for the
closing session of Congress. Two years
ago there were seventy, among which there
were so many jobs and schemes for plunder-
ing the treasury in steamship subsidies,
etc, that the House refused to go to work
on the Speakers table until nearly the close
of the session, when a single objection IN
der a special rule carried the bills over.
Among the present bills there is but one
subsidy job-that of the new ocean steam
shin

A Washington dispatch Of Thursday says

A Pennsylvania Democrat yesterday
visited the White House and was intro
duced TO the President by a prominent
Pennsylvania Republican. During the in
terview the Democrat told the President
that curious as it might seem, he voted for
him in preference to Greeley. He also re-
minded the President that he had voted
for Buchanan. The President said. drily,
"It was true he did vote fer Buchanan, with
a protest. Thinking he saw the rebellion
looming up In the future, he voted for Blu
ebanan against Fremont, whom he regard
ed as united for the emergency.
