Doctors pen i
Receive from me this offering,
A group of angel flowers;
For every one to thee will bring
\ symbol OF thy BEINGS spring,
Its budding, fading hours.
See the lovely rose and lily white,
The children Of the suu,
They bloom to tell Of life's sunlight;
They droop and tell that joys so bright
Will leave thee one by one.
The blushipg rose, as queen is crowned,
OF this gallant retinue,
And when together the wreath | bound,
lwiuiug a jasmioe round and round,
| whispered twas Tor you.
Then all breathed forth =. rich perfume.
Ard shone with deeper dye;
Brighter became the dahlia's bloom,
And proudly she waved her crimson plume
When she learned her destiny.
Aud the lily grew more dazzling fair
When I named thy sunny brow;
Thought she, I'll find rival there,
And, uayhsp, she breathed little prayer
That she might conquer now.
And glad was the moss rose, too, ween,
To join your fair bouquet,
For she raised her bead from her vail of green
And blushed With JOY, like fair young quee1
That was crowned but yesterday.
TheD take this fairy coroual.
Twill fade, alas Il siRb;)
But is DOT this the fate Of all
Glory and power and besutys thrall,
Shall they not also die?
Look on that brave old coruel tree;
Our fathers sought his shade;
Tho reared in the old old world was he,
Tho he counts bis age by the century,
Still that old tree must fade.
Then, what if the rose does wait its doom,
And the gay anemooe.;
And what if the dahlia lose her bloom,
The mignone,te her deep perfume,
And the lily her purity.
lis thus with ALL The despot's throne,
With the blood of millions bought,
Arts priceless gems, tame's laurel crowd
And empires with their old renoWn
All, all, must pass to nought.
The voice of time whispers decay,
On mount and lonely shore,
But even time shall lose his sway,
The world itself will pass away
And Time shall be no more"

The Trial OF Secretary Belknap.

The Summons OF the Senate has been
issued 10 Beknap, returnable Monday.
April IL. lie will doubtless appear by
counsel at that date and ask for an ex
tension of time in which 10 prepare his
defense. Such a DELAY can hardly be
necessary, but when did lawyers hasten
TO the end? II is said that the impeach-
ment is now considered matter OF
little importance. and that fashionable
society in Washington will take no in
terest i'm il. In other words, the man
ayers are warned that they are not 10
look upon the trial as all occasion for
the display Of their airs aud graces as
orators. SO much the better They
can get 10 work and do their duty in a
plain, manly way, making the impeach-
ment what il ought to be, scene OF
doom and judgment rather than a gala
day at the Capitol. Let il not be sup
posed, however. that because the accu-
sations against Belknap are simple and
the proofs plain, therefore, there will be
no field for earnest eloquence in the
trial. The accused is not the Chief
Magistrate, as was tlfe case in Johnson's
peachment, but neither is he man
falsely charged with crime. lie is not
maliciously impesched for an imaginary
plot TO subsert the Government by force
OF arms; but he is honestly accused OF
fraud and corruption, by which he has
disgraced the people and plundered the
soldiers. Every element of true elo-
qucnce which was wanting when Presi-
dent Johnson was impeached, will be
present when Belknap is arraigned al
the bar of the Senate. There will be ne
need to overstrain the truth, to torture
perversed ingenuity of inventions or
soar aloit in bombastic defamation
The managers should see TO it that they
do not in any sense make such fools Of
themselves as Boutwell, and bis associ-
ates did in their attempt to emulate, in
treating OF mock conspiracy. the
electric eloquence which blasted Warren
Hastings. There was more unaduter-
ated pathos talked on the trial of An
drew johnson than in connection with
any other single event in history, be-
cause the ambitious managers thought
they could transform farce into q
tragedy by mere words. In the i'm
Ipeachment of Belknap there is noble
theme for consideration, namely, the
temptations and corruptions of the time.
and the fall OF a man beloved and trust
ed lie who can deal suitably with
that subject may win fame worthy to
give him rank in orstofy We sincerely
hope that there may be some one con
necied with the impeachment who cal
startle the age into virtue 10y a graphic
description of lis political vices. = New
