A Song
By JOAQUIN MILLER.

"
Well we have threaded through and through
= The cleaning forests. Fairy isles,
Begirt in God eternal smiles,
And fallen stars In fields of blue;
Some futile wars with, subtle love
That mortal never ~vanquished yet
Some symphonies by angels set
In wave below, in bOugh above
We're yours ana mine; but here adicu.
Yet if it comes to pass some days
That you grow weary, sad, and you
Lift up deep eyes from dusty ways
OF mart and moneys to the blue
And pure cool waters, isle and vine,
And battle you there, and then arise
Refreshed by one fresh thought of mine.
Ircst content; I kiss your eyes,
I kiss your hair in my delight,
l kiss my hand to say good night"
May love be thine by sun or moon;
May peace be thine by stormy way,
Through al the darling days of May,
Through all the genial days Of June,
To golden days'that die in smiles
OF sunset on the blessed isles.
CLARIFIED:

GRIFFIN-WATSON-At the residence of the

May Hopes bright star, e'cr giId their way,
Fultilmcnt'a morn, blush into day;
And life's long, prosperous road,
Lead through holiness, TO God.

MOVE FOR A CoMPRoMIsE.-Last Sat
urday, both Houses of the Odd Fellows
Hall Legislature, passed a set of pream-
bles and resolutions, proposing that both
Legislatures adjourn sine die, and that
the members of the Senate holding over
from a former Legislature and the MEM
hers of the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives, returned by both returning
boards of the State, shall convene Onthe
Gath inst, they then to seat claimants to
vacant seats, and then decide who are
elected to the GOvernorshipan and all other
State offices. The resolutions were COM
m1nicated to the two branches of the
other Legislature, but were not favora-
bly, received. If Congress does not in
t~erfere, the State government will prob
ably remain as it has been settled by the
decisions of the Supreme Court of this
State, -.

A MASONIC QUEsTIoN.-If there is any
one thing which Masonry teaches above
all other things, it is common practical
honesty. In fact no MAJ should be ad-
mitted into the orderunless he is honest,
andif he proves to be dishonest after
wards, he ought to be expelled.
asmanisa practical christian, hewill
, his natural OF moral obliga-
well as his legal ones. If amlan
Isl Mason, he will not def@ud his
brptiWTs6F any one else, out Of the value
sof anything.
= Underline ciyillaw, on the principle that
theGoanmunity is interested in having
aNihfft tdlitigation, a debtor may plead
plgseGption'after the lapse of a certain
Mhpdofstime and prevent the collection
OF the debt by process of law. But the
natural or moral obligation still exists,
and the debtor should pay. We wantto
ask the question of our Masonic sages,
if the Masonic obligation does not exist
also, and what ought to be done with a
Mason who declines to pay a just debt
on the ground thatit is prescribed under
the civil law.9 There is no prescription
under the moral law, and we have never
heard of any in Masonic jurisprudence.
Our own opinion is that the Mason who
declines to pay his brother a debtor the
ground Of prescription, is guilty of Ma
sonic fraud. We ask for light on the
subject.

A Financial scheme.

The National Board of Trade, at
its meeting in Chicago, last week, had
the subject of a return to specie pay
ment under consideration, and the
Committee on Finance evolved the
following plan:
First-For the redemption of the
Treasury notes Of the United States.
commonly called greenbacks, at the
treasury in the city of New York, in
gold coin, on the demand Of the hol-
ders thereof, and on and after the
first Monday in July, 1877.
Second-The notes so redeemed
may be re-issued for making all pay
ments by the United States other
than those for which payment in
specie is specially secured by exist
ing laws, and notes so redeemed may
be exchanged for gold or silver coin
of the United States, when requested
by any one desirous Of making such
exchange.
Third-That said Treasury notes
of the United States shall continue
to be legal tender for the payment
Of ali debts, public and private, as
the same are now.
Fourth-That for the purpose of
regulating the currency, as furnished
by the said treasury notes, and pro-
viding for its expansion or contrac-
ton at seasons when such changes in
its volume are called for by the bust
ness of the country, the Secretary of
the Treasury be authorized to issue
in exchange for such treasury notes.
registered certificates of debt. in
sums not less than $500 or anvmul-
tiple thereof, which certificates shall
bear interest at the rate of 5 and 65-
l00ths per cent. per annum; the GER
tificates so issued shall not exceed
fifty millions dollars in the whole
and said certificates shall be redeem
able at the will of the holders there
of, in treasury notes of the denomin-
ations now in use, and upon such re-
demption the interest accrued on
such certificates shall be payable and
paid, and the certificates SO redeem.
ed shall be cancelled and destroyed;
but new certificates may from time to |
time issue in place and to the amount
Of certificates so redeemed, if the |
same shall be demanded by the hol-
iers Of United States Treasury notes,
md the certificates so issued shall
rot be used for or computed in the
he reserves required by law to be
leld by National Banks, for the pay
nent of their circulation and depos-
is.
The plan was fully debated on the
ollOwing days, but without taking
'etion upon it, the Board adjourned

by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, on re
form in Woman's dress, and said if
their Congress could induce two wo-
men to abandon eersets it would do
more good than the AID Congress,or
the Evangelical Alliance.
Mrs. Stanton said American moth
ers we're filling the world with Grip
pies and monsters. Men had taught
that it was woman's greatest glory
to bear children, but as John Stuart
Mill said, it was better to give to the
world one lion than ten jackasSes.
Elizabeth Peabody, of Boston, eX-
planned briefly the nature Kjndergar-
ten which she was the first to intro
duce into the United States.
Mrs SouIe read paper en- the ne
cessity of woman Professorship in
mixed colleges, and the Importance
of women using their intellect that
they might keep out of the pit of po-
verify and misery.
Mrs. Spencer argued that sex was
Of the soul, and as indestuctible as
the soul.
Rev. Celie Burliegh read a paper
on tae relation of woman to dress,
asserting that little could be done for
woman unless she was emancipated
from the tyrrany Of dress; and that
the present dress is ugly, unnatural
and immodest.
DR.. Mary Jacoby's paper on the
"Social Aspects of the Re-admission
of Women into the Medical Profess
ion' was read by Miss Hillard. 1t
maintained that woman's functions
rs a mother did not exclude her from
outside occupations.
Mrs. Churchill, of Rhode Island,
Son the Relation of Woman to the
Temperance Cause" urged on her
female auditors the duty of Tefu-
sing to marry moderate drinkers; the
world had been too long marrying
blindly and stupidity, and now the
same purity and morality should be
demanded by women from men as
by men from women. They should
also demand intelligence. One fourth
of all the male voters could not tell
the Constitution of the United States
from a circus bill. Women's votes
would stop liquor selling.
Miss Cuzzens Of st. Louis on "Wo
man as a Lawyer" said, the first no
table woman lawyer was the Queen
of Sheba, who proved the wisest of
men with hard questions.
Other papers on various subjects
were read, and the Congress then ad-
iourned.

The sword presented to General
,Sickles, by the Spanish minister, is
Ia Toledo blade of exquisite work
manship. The hilt is ornamented
with the arms of the United States,
richly wrought, and the names ofthe
battles in which General Sickles
fought are inscribed on the blade.
The French Government lately
sent corvette to punish the inhab-
ttants of the Marquesas Islands for
cannibalism. 1t is said that no white
man is safe at even 4 short distance
from the settlements there. Roast
Caucasian is served up sumptuously
under the outrageous leaves of ban
ana trees, but it is a strict rule
among these punctillious gastrono-
mes that no hand except a tattoed
one can touch cooked human flesh.
Thomas Christopher, blacksmith
living near Bedford, Indiana, enter
tanned 4 neighbor, John Morrow, on
the 10Th inst, who put up with him
for the night. Having, however, sus-
pected an undue intimacy between
this man and his wife for some time,
he watched closely, and entering his
wife's bed room at 10 O'Clock at night
verified his suspicious. In a fitsof
frenzy, armed with a knife, he first
stabbed his three children, then his
wife, and turning on Morrow threw
him down, but the latter took the
knife away from him and plunged it
into his body, killing him instantly.
Morrow was arrested. 1t is thought
that the wife ald one child will die.
All the parties had borne a good
name, and were respected.
