That beauty is not, as fond men misdecm
An outward show OF things, that only seem
But that fair lamp, lrom whose celestial ray
Thatlight proceed, which KIndIeth lover,

Shall never be cEtIngulshed nor decay,
But when the vital spirits do expire,
Unto her native planet shall retire.
For IT is heavenly born and cannot die,
Being parcel of the purest Sky.

r ASSESSMENTS.

The Enterprise IS as worried about
Democratic assessments in the last
campaign as if it expected to come
in on a general div some of these
days and hated to see surplus funds
sduandered. We can't advise that
paper to waste much agony on the
subject until it knows what 1t Is
talking about. When the Central
Committee meets on the Goth inst.
the Democratic party Will pay all
Just claims outstanding, except that
of the Enterprise. The assistance
which that paper has given the De
mocracy by constantly abusing and
ruling out one-half of the Republican
party has been too valuable to be
compensated by cash. To pay it
might endanger its ~solvency. 1t
will have to remain the Enterprises
debtor until afterth election. Mean
while if the Enterprise wishes to
NEEDLE with any party finances ii
can figure out and settle up the little
ntsandadvances
of the candidates on the Republican
ticket. at the same election, which
we understand are still IN a very
MIXED condition.

AMNESTY IN THE SENATE.

The Amnesty bill being under con
%sideration, Salisbury spoke at consid'
able length in its favor.
He was followed by Shurz in an
elaborate speechi in favor of universal
amnesty, concluding as follows
1.-The people are fast becomingaware
that, great as the crime of the rebel
lion is, there are other villalnles
which imperatively demand correc-
ton. They were beginning to look
behind these vociferous assertions OF
IN austere and exclusive patriotism
TO see what abuses they are intended
to disguise, and to discover that
good and honest government ! Il the
South. as we'll as all over the coun-
try, would do infinitely more to re-
vive true loyalty, and q healthy ma
tlonal spirit than laws calculated to
keep alive the prejudices and resent
ments of the past"
Nye replied. He said he would
never consent to give the rebel lead
ers the right to take part in the Gov
eminent. He would keep them
browsing on the outside till their
hair grew as long as Nebuchadnez-
Ears, and, if that was not statesman
ship. then he did not know anything
about it. Laughter.
Schurz wanted the leading rebels
relieved so as to bring higher order
of talent into public life at the
South ; but he would rather have a
lower order of talent cultivated in
the school of loyalty. As TO abuses
in the government of the Southern
States, the people had only them
selves to blame for it. They had
sown the wind and must reap the
Whirlwind.
