man journal, will appear in the capital.
A Remarkable Scene
occurred in Congress on the night of the
Sd, caused by speech made by Alcalde on
the sample facilities" bill. The Speaker
of the House interrupted Alcalde, declaring
that the character of his speech rendered a
secret session necessary, and ordered the
galleries to be cleared. The people in the
galleries refused to leave, and soldiers ap-
peared to enforce the Speakers orders,
whereuron Alcalde said: ''Those who
failed to attack the French, attack the peO-
pie. AS the people are compelled to leave,
we will accompany them." Alcalde and
others then left the hall. The remaining
members went into secret session.

POETRY.
Praxiteles and Phryne.
BY W. W. SToR

BY W. W. STORY.
A thousand silent years ago,
The starlight faint and pale
Was drawing on the sunset glow az.
Its soft and shadowy vale'
When from his work the Sculptor stayed
His hand and turned 10 one
who stood beside him half in shade,
Said with q sigh, Its done."
"Phryne, thy human lips shall pale,
Thy rounded limbs decay, - --...
Nor love nor prayers can aught avail
To bid thy beauty stay;
But there thy smile for centuries
On marble lips shall live
For Art can grant what Love denies,
And fix the fugitive.
Sad thought! nor age nor death shall fade
The youth of this cold bust;
When the quick brain and hand that naoe
And thou and 1 are dust.
When all our hopea and fears are dead,
And both our hearts are GOLD,
And Love is like a tune THAT'S played,
And Life tale that's told,
This counterfeit Of senseless stone,
That no sweet blush can warm,
The same enchanting look shall own,
The same encha&tng form.
And there upon that silent face
Shall unborn ages see
Perennial youth, perennial grace,
And sealed serenity.
And strangers, when we sleep in peace,
Shall say, not quite unmoved,
So smiled upon Praxiteles
The Phryne whom he loved"
