POETRY IN CONGRESS-.
Samples OF tho Quotations Usct, by
our Representative.

ttLaura Rcam'' furnishes the Cincinnati
Commercial with six or seven columns OF
matter illustrating the kind OF poetical quo
tations used by congressman. She says:
yICE-pRE sIDEST WILSON.
In the death of yice-President Wilson the
Senate had an opportunity OF duly dis
coursing the uncertainty Of life and insta-
bility OF earthly things. The venerable
Hamlin waXed poetic in view or the aD-
sence of all the senators excepting himself
who took their seats simultaneously with
Mr.. Wilson in February, 1855. Mr.. Hamlln
did not hold up his hands, nor could he roll
up his eyes in pathetic appeal, as was the
habit of the late Vicc-Prcsident, but he cN-
claimed with feeling: "What shadows we
are. and what shadows we pursue!
He closed his tribute with line which,
as you will perceive, came III like an AFTER
thought.
Gle CMr. WILSON, was Christian gentle
man. and his life was adorned by Christian
virtues, and in honesty and integrity, even
in times like these, he stood unasSailcd and
unassailablc.
SAN hcnes. mans the noblest work Of God"
Mr.. Crasin, OF New Hampshire, dwelt
more at length upon the certainty OF death,
"a follows:
"More than eighteen hundred years ago
ST. John described great multitude OF dead,
switch no man could number Tens OF
millions have been added every year since,
till the inauguration stagsers in the attempt
to comprehend the vast and constantly IN
creasing number who sleep in the valley OF
death.
"tThe battle of our life is brief
The alarm, The struggle. the relief;
Then sleep we eide by sac
And our hearts. though stout and brave,
Still, like lnufiled DRUMS arc heating
Funeral marches to the grave"
Mr.. Stevenson, of Kentucky, quotes a
single line-to wit:
HYear by year the monitory messages OIL
death addressed to our frail individual hui
manity come oftener and quicker, and they
all bear to us 'but one sad, unwelcome
truth
".The paths of glory lead but to the grave"
In the House Mr.. kaSson very approprl-
atelv eulogized the Vicc-President by
quoting from the speech in the Senate on
hireling labor, in which Mr.. Wilson said:
"Many weary mile have travelled
ITO beg brother Of the earth
To give me leave TO TOLL "
Mr.. Lapham, at the close OF 4 brief tribute
TO the Vice-Presdent, quotes the following
pocm INSCRIBED to Mr.. Sumner) as appro-
pirate to the occasion:
Alike are life and death,
When Lie in death survives,
And the uninterrupted breath
Inspires thousand hVcS
"Werc star qucnched OH high,
For ages would Its light ,.o,, ,,o s.v
still travelling downwal0 from the SKY,
Shine OH our mortal sisht.

Springer concludes that some one must
have sent dispatch in reply, saying:
| q On with the dance let Joy be unconfncd;
No sleep till morn, when youth and pleasure meet
To chase the glowing hours with flying feet
obviously yours, &c.
| Mr.. Hereford at this point in the congress
| sional proceedings asked:
"What is the cost of printing all this -
Mr.. Springer, in reply, said he did not
know, but stated the salary Of the Minister
| to Greece to be $500 per annum; and re-
yerting again to the fact of Greece having
been overlooked in the appropriation, con-
tinued:
"But I can imagine the sensation that
will come over J. Meredith Read when he
hears that this bill has passed both houses,
been approved by the President, and that
'Othello's occupations gonc.' He will
doubtless cast one wistful look at the pal
ace of the Queen, and eXclaim, in the lam
guage OF Byron:
"'hiaid of Athens, ere we part,
Give, oh, give me buck my hcart.'
Laughter
''And after j. Meredith Read has en-
barked upon stately ship in the harbor at
Piraus, and sees the Queen standing on the
shore, he will doubtless continue the beau
tiful song:
"'NIaid Of Athens am gone;
Think of Inc, sweet! when alone.
Though fly to Istambo'-
"I suppose that in Greek means Philadel-
phia. Laughtcr.l
"'Athens holds my heart and soul
Can cease TO love thee! No!
Zoe n0u, SaS agdpoo!'"
The diplomatic and consular bill did not
rest here. On the same day Mr.. Cox took
it up and made merry over the society news
from Greece in particular. Iquote:
"In Greece we have Minister whom ]
like. / do not want to see him dismissed.
He is man that can dance a contra-dance
with the Queen, and such Queen as Queen
olga Grand Duchess Of Russia And
Russia may almost be called the leading
Power of Europe. We should be proud to
think of such Ministerl How. did they
dance it?
Hands across and down the middle,
To the tune Of flute and fiddle"
The noted representative was altogether
so funny that time was repeatedly extended
to him, and he spoke more than an hour.

Mr.. Springer reads further from the di-
plomatic correspondence, showing that Mr..
Read was entertained by the King and
Queen in the. beautiful private apartments
of their Maiesties, and says:

have looked upon that group, which
