Editors OF the Register:
The communication in this mornings
issue of your valuable paper from "P. Z.
p" has been a matter OF considerable re-
Election on my part during the day, and
the more / think Of it the more convinc-
ing become the arguments there
in set forth, and the more feasible
does the proposed plan appear.
These is certainly the place for
for the work-house, and the labor Of
these tramps could be utilized at the ex-
pense of their board, which, l am in-
termed, is only 234 cents per diem.
Another idea struck me. There are, In
the hands of certain gentlemen of this
city, some $1,000 subscribed for the pur-
pose of building soldiers monument,
and here is the very place to put it. And
make very handsome beginning for
ornamenting q park. l merely write
this IN answer to the request fer an e1-
preston of views on the subject by your
first correspondent, and would assure
him that we are in entire sympathy
with his views. MERCHANT.

love to rove in the shady grevc.
When the gentle zeph! rs are boating;
love to sit at the social board,
Where buckwheat cakes are smoking;
1 love to gaze at the golden blaze,
Where Sol the west is adorning:
But this love far better than all
To lie abed in the morning.
That poets should sing of the joys of Spring
Is not in the least surprising;
But can't conceive how one should weave
sonnet to early rising,
Though Franklin of old was a sage, I am told
can't go with him in scorning
The blissful scenes in the land of dreams,
While lying abed in the morning.
Let those who choose retire to snooZe
When the chickens to rocst are going,
And rub their eyes when forced to rise
At chanticleer's dismal growing;
They lose the sight of the gorgeous night,
And spend their days in yawning-
To midnight damp, I'U burn the lamp.
And lie abed in the morning.

those beautiful lines fall from my lips,
Trimmed to amber, trimmed with silver,
Clouds in the distance dwell,
Clouds that are cool, for all their color,
Pure rsse Tipped shell,
Fleets of wool in the upper heavens.
GOssamer wings unfurl,
Sailing so high they seem but sleeping,
Over yon bar of pearl.''

date Mr.. PendIeton was induced to
take the Democratic nomination. Sue
cess was scarcely possible under the
circumstances, and General Hayes car
ried the State by a majority of 7,5lS,
or about one'third that of a year be-
fore On the State ticket. The next ap-
pearapce Of Mr.. Hayes as candidate
was last fall, when he was nominated
on the public schools platform, after a
sharp contest with Judge Taft, whose
candidacy in opposition to Mr.. Hayes
was no fault of his own, but was due
entirely to letter which Mr.. Hayes
wrote the night before the convention
of which the following is an extract:
81 cannot allow my name to be used
against Judge Taft. He became
candidate after declined. He is q
pure man and sound Republican.
will not accept a nomination obtained
in contest against him."
The pith and point of the voluntary
endorsement which Mr.. Hayes gave
to Judge Taft lies in the fact that the
contest of the convention turned on
an energetic effort to placate the Lib.
eral Republican party by his nomina-
ton. The attempt failed, and Mr..
Hayes became a candidate, accepting
the nomination by telegraph the same
day. In the bitter and hard fought
canvass which followed, Mr.. Hayes
was successful, receiving majority
of 5,545 over Mr.. Allen. The duties
of the third term to which Mr.. Hayes
was thus raised on an anti-third-term
platform, like the two terms that pre-
ceeded it, have been so far successful
ly executed by Governor Hayes, with
cut affording the slightest ground for
comment. for observation or for re.
Election, and Mr.. Hayes eners the
Presidential contest the best figure

OPENING OF THE CONGRESS OF 17s4.
In September, 1774, the delegates
from eleven Provinces assembled in
Carpenters Hall, Philadelphia, the
State House being occupied by the
Assembly. The venerable Peyten
Randolph was then chosen President,
and the Man of Truth, Charles Thomp-
son, Secretary. There was much hes
tation as to whether the Congress
should be opened with prayer, or
what form of prayer would suit
Quakers. Churchmen and Presbyteri-
ans. Mr.. Duche was finally chosen to
open the session, and, in full canonic-
thirty fifth Psalm. The news of the
cannOnade of Boston had just reached
the Assembly. 1T seemed writes
John Adams, in a letter to his wife
dated September Is, 1774, sas if Heav-
Ell had ordained that Psalm to bo read
on that morning. When its sublime
invocation of Gods help in extremity
had been read, Mr.. Duche broke into
an extemporaneous prayer which
brought tears into the eyes of every
man present, and made them one by
an electic sympathy. Charles Thomp-
son afterward related that profound
silence reigned after the prayer, so
deep was the sense of responsibility
of each man present. A grave-look-
ing man, in an unpowdered wiss
coarsely dressed in gray, at last arose
and began to speak, to the annoyance
of the Secretary, who regretted that
country parson, as he supposed, should
have mistaken the occasion for dis
play of his ability. But an unusual
force of argument and singular i'm
passioned eloquence soon electrified
the house, and an excited whisper
passed from man to man, who is, it2'
There were few present who knew
Patrick Henry
The members of the Congress were
entertained by the gentlemen of the
city at graud banquet in the State
House, at lnnumerable stately feasts
at private houses, and finally by the
Assembly in public dinner, where
the first toast was the king, and the
next Mr.. Hancock. John Hancock
comes early to the front as most no.
ticeable figure against the background
of this blurred and confused time, not
only from the steadiness of his loyalty
when so many paused irresolute, but
from certain dramatic instinct in the
man which lifted him to the height of
every occasion as on a pedestal. He
was about thirty y-nine at this period,
but looked older, being enfeebled by
the gout was tall, thin, and dressed
with scrupulous eye to effect. A
visitor described his morning costume
at home as red velvet cap with q
band of fine linen, blue damask
gown, white satin embroidered waist
coat, black satin small clothes, scarlet
shoes, and white silk stockings with
jeweled clasps. 1t is likely that Han
cock, in mind or body, was never found
en- diSha6iEle: and his dramatic excla-
nation two years after, as he signed
the Declaration, and the dramatic
boldness of the signature itself, were
due, not to fervor of loyalty nor to
vanity, but to keen aesthetic sense of
the first expression of each passing
moment.
