by the devil II that he ,le fact, the devil
must be getting in his doiase. lie is also
more unreliable character than radical mem-

these last stick to C,lfax through thick aud

although neither he nor any other man can
possibly bring any discredi. upon the radical
party by any crime which they eau commit
Yet bere is the Devil leading Colfax into a
lurch, and deserting hin at the first pinch
The Devil is known as the Father of Liars,
and here we have him prosecuting ono Of his
most promising children. We d0u't believe =
word Of it. He has never forsaken the other
members Of the radical party, and still stands
by the Baltimore ImericaR If his stomach
is strong enough for that why should he be-

End of the FOrty-socond Congress

The Lynchburg TrgiHian Of the 3rd says
this is the last day Of the Forty-second Con-
gress. From this date. many Of its members
passmto private life, and their acts into history.
1t will be a notable Congress in all time to
come Not even the Rump Parliament, ia
English history, will stand 10 worse repute -
| will be noted for investigating committees,
huge frauds and political lepers; none OF
whom were cast out, as in ancient times. from
the society Of tie pure. Perhaps, this will be
accounted for upon the ground that SO many
were tainted that it would have been like tear
ug a tree up by its roots to get nd Of the
Nithered branches. Aud SO they only dns
about the roots little, stirred the earth slight
ly. and left the upas to grow aud send forth
more poisonous odurs. That such will be the
result we may hardly doubt Would that We
could hope that, from Tomorrow, might date
a better era. But Grant is to he President
four years longer, aud the party that has cor
rupted the Government beyood all precedent,
has a new lease Of power. 1t is like hoping
against hope to expect anything better than
we have had. And yet, We must d" never des-
pair o. the republic !"

Spring Fashions.

A wel-informed correspondent Of the New
York 2riJune writing from Paris. says that
in the spring fashions the last century will DO
initiated. There will be skirts as narrow aud
tight as lady can inconyeuiCntly walk in,
pyramidal coiTures, huge buttons, bigh point
ed heels; hair arranged in the highest possible
style, bonnets yet higher, all without crinO-
line, with ut touruure, without panier.
A phantasmagoria Of limp figures arise in
skirts, cut umbrella shape, with handle down,
and never fold Ia lend a passing gr@ce to
forms undissuised by superhuous drapery.
And then If gentlemen do not marry their
erandmoihers they will marry something that
looks very much like them.

POETICAL
LOVE LIGHTENs LABOR.

A good wife rose from her bed one morn,
Aud thought, with a nervous dread,
or the piles of clothes 10 bswashed, and more
Than dozen mouths to be fed.
There's the meals to get for the men in tie field
And the children to FIX away
To school, and the milk to be skinned anc
churned;
And all to be done this day.
1t had rained in the night, and all the wood
Was as wet as il could be;
There were puddings and pies to bake, besides
A loaf OF cake for tea.
And the day was hot and her aching head
Throbbed wearily as she SAID,
" II madens but knew what good wives know,
They would be in no haste to wed"
"Jennie, what do You think told Ben Brown ?'
Called the farmer from the well;
And a flush crept up TO his bronzed brow,
And his eyes half bashfully fell;
g 1t was thi,," he said, and coming near,
He miled aud STOPPING down,
Kissed her check" Twas this that You were the
best
And the dearest wife in town.
The farmer went back to the field, and the wife,
In a smiling, absent way,
Sang snatches Of tender little songs
She'd not sung for many day.
And the pain in her head was gone, and the
clothes
Were as " bite as the foam OF the sea;
Her bread was light, and her butter was sweet,
And as golden as it could be.
"Just think" the children all called in breath
Tom Wood has run of TO sea
He wouldn't, know, if be only had
As happy home as we" s...
Ths night came down, and the good wife smiled
To herself as she softly said:
"'Tis sweet to labor for those we love,
IL, not strange that maids will wed !!

A Mothers Love.

shores and rent away boush whereon a bird
bad built a cottage for her summer hope
Down the white aud whirling stream dilled
the green branch, with its wicker cup Of un-
hedged song, and lutter beside it went the
mother bird. Unheeding tie roaring river, on
she went, her cries Of agony and fear piercing
the pauses in the storm. How like the love
Of an od.fashioned mother, who followed the
child she had plucked from her heart, oil over
the world. Swept away by passion that child

bearing away with him the fragrance Of the
shattered roCf-tree, yet that mother was with
