THE 1ETSER.
BY BELLA RoBEY.


The mlser counted DER his gold,
Rich shining treasures, one by one.
In a lone barkened room, for he
Was jealous even of the sun.
Strong padlocks were upon his door,
That gave admittance to no guest,
And rusty was the key that turned
Upon the inmates of his breast.
Each drop of blood within his veins
Is kept in ''check, controlled by ''stocks;'
No circulating medium
His heart-but just ''money box
He lives to gain, but not to give,
Nor richer grows, except IL peif
And for bit Of wretched dross,
Is oft disposed to sell himself
He has no coin that lie not ''base,"
His voice has ''metalliC' sound,
a., And, be his buildings Ger so high,
He's always living under ground.
He thinks his padlocks will prevent
The entrance Of unwecomed guests,
Nor dreams the mortgage is foreclosed, =,
And he, the tenant, dispossessed.
IT'S death who laughs the fool to scorn,
And meets him thus, unclean, unshriyen
And melts his gold to find soul
Too small to find place in Heaven.

LIES DISSERTATION.

BY FANNY DRIsCoLL.
Does life hold aught that's wholly sweet and
glad?
Hold augbt that is not sadly marred or broken?
1t takes SO small thing to make hearts sad
A careless look, tender word unspoken.
We grow so needless in the breathIess race
For gold aid fame-the hollow worlds false
glory;
We have no time, nor thought for loves sweet
grace,
The half-breathed wording of the old, old story.
Outlines we meet heart along the way,
That's pure and trusting, fair as Gods own
Heaven
We cherish it? All no, in selfish play
We scatter all the seeds of loves rare leaven.
What matters 1t, the breaking of heart
so long as our own hearts escape WITHHOLDING
We have no moment here in life's CAV mart
To listen in the dark for someone sobbing
But when some day with bitterness we find
Our hearts have suffered in some summer
dreaming;
We know, too late, the joys we left behind,
And smile. and smile to hide the tears down
streaming.
We draw our mantles closely DER our breasts,
To hide the CHASTITY wound that widens slowly:
We plainly see the woe of life's behests,
But fail to recognize its purpose holy.
All me! it is so sad, this life of ours:
So full of care and toll, and weary sorrow.
Our thorn-crowned Father, shall we meier have
flows
Until the breakidg of Thy glorious morrow.

WASHINGTON, D G. June 1st, 1876.
DoINGs OF CONGRESS. What an imposing
spectacle the work of the forty fourth Con-
gTess, up to this moment presents to the
people What q recommendation for further
endorsement it has worked out for itself |!
The House of Representatives, controlled by
Democrats and ex-confederates has thus far
done little more than organize itself into
investigating committees for the sole pur-
pose of driving the Republican party from
power. These committees have not only
consumed the time that should have been
devoted to needed legislation, but the lavish
and clearly reckless manner in which they
have disbursed the public money is certain
" at variance with their economical preten-
sons. No thought of time or money has
deferred them from securing the country in
every direction when it appeared that there
was the slightest possibility OF spelling the
good name of a Republican official. When
the evidence does not satisfy them the
maIIer is dropped, out II IL at al Sults th0d
purpose, no matter whether true or false,
with what a flourish of trampets they spread
it before the people.
Fora long time after these committees
started ont tney failed to find anything up
on which to frame report, and becoming
dissatisfied with their self-imposed task they
whiningly complained that the Republicans
had been SO long in power, that the evi-
dences of their corruption were SO adroltly
ard completely covered up, that although
they were certain of it's existence yet they
could not establish it by proof So much
for Democratic ingenuity. They are still at
work, with an evident intention to manu-
facture, if it canDot be other wise obtained,
evidence to be used in the approaching COM
paign.

ing adjourne ed to meet again next Tuesday after
noon in the Court House at 2 O'Clock.
Rev I'll. NJ. Simmons, the County Historiog-
rapher, has formulated the following ques-
tions, which he wishes some well informed gems
temen in each town would answer in as brief a
manner as possible, and transmit to him at once
This will aid him very much i'll his work.
