Very much against its will, the House of
Representatives was seduced into a vote abol-
fishing the mileage fraud yesterday. Under
the bill which passed the House, it will not
be lawful for Congressman to receive any
thing on mileage account except for actual
expenses in going to and from Washington at
each session. This is good beginning IN the
matter of cutting down perquisites Will the
Senate have enough Spartan virtue to indOrse

We forget how many times the defenders
of the District Government at Washington
have assured us that there was no trouble
about the pay of the school teachers. 1t seems
that they propose to have very little now,
since the Senate spent large part of its time
yesterday in considering the application to
have the United States assume the long past
due debts, and relieve the starving teachers.

THE FoRsAKEN.

1t hath been said-for all who die
There is q tear;
Some pining, bleeding heart to sigh =.
Ger every bier
But in that hour of pain and dread na.
Who will draw near Hs.
Around my humble ropch-and shed
One farewell tear:
Who watch life's last departing ray
In deep despair,
And soothe my spirit on its way
With holy prayers
What mourner round my bier will come
In weeds Of woe,
And follow me to my long home
Solemn and slow?
When lying on my clayey bed,
In icy sleep,
Who, there by pure affection led,
Will come and weep!
By the pale moon implant the rose
Upon my breast,
And bid it cheer my dark repose,
My lowly rest?
Could but know when am sleeping
Low in the ground,
One faithful heart would there be keeping
G- Watch all night round,
As if some gem lay shrined beneath
That sod's cold gloom,
'Twould mitigate the pangs of death,
And light the tomb.
Yes in that hour, if could feel
From halls of glee fm4 I'D
And beauty's presence one would steal
In secrecy,
And come and sit aud weep by me
In nights deep noon
Oh! I would ask of memory
No other boon.
But ali q lonelier fate is mine, W.
A deeper woe;
From all love in youths sweet time
I soon must go;
Draw round me my pale robes Of white,
In a dark spot
TO sleep through deaths long dreamless night
Lone aud forgot.

TIE SHADOW OF PAST aLoarxs.


Lynchburg, as we all learned in our youth,
is situated on the James, about one hundred
and forty-6ve miles from its mouth, and con-
tains about 10000 Inhabitants, and was on CO
very important place from it's wealth and
the extent Of its tobacco manufactures. Its
glory has departed to a great extent, and
dark shadows Of poverty and care lang over
the stately mansions where once lived in lux
ury some of the proudest Of the Virginia
families. Ia many cases the families still
inhabited their ancestral homes, built like
castles and surrounded with as many OUT
buildings and cabins as if each were ham
let where the lord of the manor dwelt among
his retaners. But alas, what change !!
They all take boarders!
Or, if that fails, as it must,
for everybody cannot board, they teach lit
tie school, and often the lady, who until the
close Of the war never dressed herself or ar
ranged her glossy tresses, is but too glad to
take in sewing, and the price for which peo-
pie will sew here would bring tears to the
eyes of phi!anthropist. have a neighbor
who makes calico dresses for her former
slaves at twenty-five cents piece! But
there are few means Of earning liveli-
hood open to women in the South; and one
that cannot get sewing, teach, or take boar
ders, what is left that is genteel ?-and 'let
US be genteel or die !" How / long for the
day that will open the Post Office, the tele-
graph Office, the clerkship, (and may I not
say the sanctum, or at least the editors easy
chair , to the woman, married or single,
who has an honest and independent wish to
support herself or aid her family, and when
public opinion, instead of frowring upon,
will smile and assist! I have met ladies
here who live in attics and slave over sewing
machines, and yet charm all around them
with their intelligent and graceful CONVEX.

of her delightful and instructive lee
lures here last winter, and only the few
Yankee" ladies whe live here would be seen
in the. hall, [ thought of these friends of
mine, and lamented that their conversation
too could not bs made to pay. and the owner
ofgifts as bright as hers be able to traverse her
own and other countries with the comforta-
BILE consciousness that she had earned these
pleasures for herself
woRsHiPINa TIE PAST.
A stranger is at first surprised at what
seems excessive prejudice and bitterness Of
spirit among mapy--I will not say all the
citizens land the absurd extent to which
they carry it, But nearer acquaintance
shows that this is an extremely isolated
community. They see and deal little with
the outside world, aud, if newcomer may
be excused for venturing the opinion, edu-
cation, or at least liberal education, is not,
as the geographers say, generally difused"
If we consider the losses and sorrows or the
