It is not true that the so-calIed Senate
at Lyceum Hall had quorum at its SEES
sion yesterday, and the publication Of the
names Of twenty Senator'S and a quo
rum by the Times and Picayune is a
cheat upon their readers.
Only by systematic misrepresentation
were these journals able to impose upon
the public belief that this Legislature "
was worthy any consideration at all; and
yesterday every one concerned recognized
the fact that the fraud had turned to a
farce which could no longer be concealed.
Two Of the Senators named in the printed
list, Messr5. Hunsaker and Todd,
we know were not present at yester-
days session, and thus left without
q quorum, there was no alternative but to
adjourn. The revoludonists would have
continued their session had it been posi-
bic for them to have done SO.
The pretext that they will reassembIo
in January next is the thinnest of weak
devices, end deceives no one. Left with
out quorum now, they would find none
50 stupid rs to continue the comedy then.
Their downfall! is thing accomplished.
and the prime movers in the plot know it
full well, and this pretext Of meeting
next month is only intended to soften the
sting which their pride has sustained.
# they can possibly derive any comfort
from It, We don't begrudge it to them at
ali: but duty compels US 70 prevent such 0
deception being passed Of upon readers

A Lion Story.

A story is told Of lion which was brought
from India, and who on the passage grew very
fond of a sailor who had charge Of him. His
name was Nero. On being shut up in cage
in London he grew sulky, and was very fierce
when any one came near him, 50 that it was
dangotous even FOX his keepers, TO approac b
him.
One day, few weeks after Nero had been
shut up in his new prison, party Of sailoFs
visited the mcnagerie, and we're warned BY
the keeper not to go near the lion who now
and then grovled sasagely at those who were
looking at him. All at once one Of these sailors
ran.up to the cage, and thrustiDg in bis hand,
cried out:
"What old shipmatel don't OuknOw me
Wha. cheer, old Nero, my lad ?"
The lion instantly left off feeding aud sprang
up to the bars of the cage. Jack patted him
on the head, and the lioE rubbed his hand
with his whiskers Ike cat, showing evident
sign Of pleasure.
"Ah," said Jack, turning to the keeper and
spectators, who stood frightened and in aston
ishment, " Nero and were once shipmates,

A True Hero.

A boy nine years old was bathing ono day
when, by some mischance be got into deep
water and began to sink. His eldor brother
saw him and ran to save him, but, lacking
strength or skill, he also sank to the bottom OF
the river. As the two drowning brothers rose
to the surface for the last time they saw a
third brother, the youngest Of the family, run
ming down the bank for the purpose OF trying
TO save them. Then it was that tho dying
nine-year old acted the part Of hero. Strug-
Cling as l.o was with death, he gathered all his
strength, and cried to his brother on the shore,
Don't come in, or father will lose all his boys
at once"
Noble little fellow Though dying, he forgot
himself, and thought only of his fathers grief.
lie was a genuine hero. His brother obeycd
his dying command, and was spared to COM
fort his father when his two dead sons were
taken from the river clasped in each others
arms.
Boys, you ere not called to be heroes In this
way. but You arc called to consider the feeling
of your parents, and to study how to avoid Civ
ing them pain. The best way to do this is to
love them dearly. Love will not only keep
you from hurting their feelings, but it will
make you Sources Of great Joy to their hearts.

FOR ME.

Life is not robbed Of al IL charms;
Thank God. / still can see
There's something left in this bleak world
For me yes, cyca me.
The scent Of rose and jessaminc,
That ills the fragrant air,
Comes like the breath Of angels sweet,
And w0os me from al care.
Fen faded leaves, and broken stems,
Speak in their own sweet way,
And tell me ot that other life,
That other brighter day.
The hum of bees and song of birds
FAN on my rayished ear,
And raise my troubled soul above
An bitter discord here.
The whisp'ring breeze and msrn ring rill.
The silent midnight hour,
All breathe Of sweetest sympathy,
And s0ul-inspiring power.
Aud golden beams Of sunlight dart
Across my pathway dTear;
Illuminating an the gloom,
And 90 / DO not fear.
o, yes ! there's many a JOY for me,
Could but look above
And never turn ny face from Him,
Who ruleth all with love.
