OUR OWN.

II 7 had known in the morning
How YEARLY all the day
The words unkind
90 Would trouble my mind
I said when you went away,
had been more careful, darling,
Nor given you needless pain;
But we vex our own
With look and tone,
We might never take back again.
For though in the quiet evening
You may give me the kiss ofpeace,
Yet it mightoe
That never for me
The pain of the heart should cease.
How many 60 forth in the morning
That never come home at night?
And hearts have broken,
For harsh words spoken,
That sorrow can ne'er set right.
We have careful thoughts for the stranger
And smiles for the sometime guest,
But of for "0ur own"
The bitter tone,
Though we love "our own the best.
All lips with the curve impatient,
All brow with the look Of Scoru,
'Twere q cruel fate,
We're the night too late
To undo the work ofmorn.

JACKSON, March 7.-COntrary to eX-
pectstions, the legislature did not
celebrate the day the civil rights bill
went into effect by adjourning, and there
was no demonstration. Many colored
members visited their homes last night.
Mr.. r. w. FlourDoy addressed large
audience In the hall of the house. Most
of the State officials and many members
of the legislature were present. The
address was scsthing to the officials
present. denounced the administration
and gave it hard knocks, and reflected
bitterly on the present condition of the
State. The address was listened to
smilingly by the officials.
At the conclusion of the address, Mr..
Mygstt was called for. On his appear
ance a general yell arose, and the books,
papers and pamphlets on the
members desks took a sudden rise
in the air, impelled by hands un-
known, shying at the heads of all
persons irrespective of position, resem-
bling butterflies in the air. All of the
officials came in for their share. 1t was
the most gratuitous distribution Of pub
lie documents on record.
4 house bill was passed, introduced by
Mr.. Spellman, for tie relief of Aaron
Moore, for damages sustained at the
Meridian riot, and provides that the
damages assessed by commissioners Of

spanish News.

LONDON, Marsh THE report that
bill dissolving tine Spanish assembly
and ordering elections in Spain and
Porto Rico for q constituent cortes had
been defeated in the assembly is untrue.
The bill was only introduced by the gov
eminent Tuesday last, and the debate
had not even begun in the assembly.
The measure was referred to a commit
tee, who have it now under considera-
ton. The committee, as before report
ed, are unfavorable to the bill; and
should they decide to recommend
its rejection, a change of the ministry
would be inevitable; but the committee
is in conference with the ministers, and
the probability is that the opposing
views of the committee and cabinet viii
be reconciled. Dispatches from Madrid
today make no mention Of ministerial
txssis. The governor OF Malaga sent IN
his resignation, giving as reason
that bis authority is not psspseted by
the popuIace, who are pillaging The
houses Of the wealthy citizens.
