We were pleased to see Senator billiard in
his seat thismorning, just returned from home.
We had an idea, when we first saw him, that
there was q softening in the lines Of his face,
and general air Of benignity to all around
him, and we were at first at a loss to what to
ascribe 1t; but some one relieved us by whisper
ing that he had found little angel at home
when he reached there, and we at once ceased
to wonder. And we are informed that Saint
Peter did not leave the little stranger there,
but that it came in the good old way. May
the Senator have many such.
