The star o. the morn is whtest,
The bosom of dawn is brightest
The dew is sown,
And the blossom blown
Wherein thou, my dear, delightest.
Hark! [ have risen before thee,
That the spell of the day be DER thee
That the flush OF my love
May fall from above,
And, mixed with the morn, adore thee.
Dark dreams must now forsake thee,
And the bliss OF the being take thee,
Let the beauty of morn
In thine eyes be born,
And the thought of me awake thee.
Come forth to hear thy praises,
With the wakening world upraises
Let thy hair be spun
With the gold O. the sun,
And thy feet be kissed by the daisies.

Senator Sharon gave ball at his home
at Belmont, near San Francisco, lately, at
which Gen. Sherman danced a quadrille
with the Countess of Dufferin. He is de-
scribed as entering into the excitement of
the affair as heartily as if he had been
dancing at husking-bee to the music of
a fiddle in the hands of the musical dar1y
of the village. He showed an earnest en-
joyment thrOugho the whole programme
of twelve dances, and never missed a
dance.
President Grant, during his recent visit
to Ithaca, N. Y, is reported to have said

Washington than in any other locality. He
added that when he retires from the Presi-
dency he intends to make trip to Europe,
and, possibly, around the world, with his
family.

be attributed the departure of the first
