the OLD COUPLE.

1t stands in . sunny meadow,
The house 80 mossy and brown,
With its cumbrous old stone chimney,
And the gay roof sloping down.
The trees fold their green arms around it.
The trees 3 century old;
And the winds so chanting through them,
And the sunbeams drop their gold.
The cowslips spring in the marshes,
And the roses bloom on the hill;
And beside the brook in the pastures
The her IL 60 feeding at will.
The children have gone and left them;
They sit in the sun alone;
And the old Wife's ears are failing,
As she h7rks to the well-knOwn tone
That won her heart in her girlhood,
That has soothed her in many care,
And praises her now for the brightness
Her old face used to wear.
She thinks again Of her bridal
a0W, dressed in her robe OF white,
She stood by her gay young lover
In the mornings rosy light.
Oh! the morning is rosy as ever,
Bat the rose from her cheek mas fed,
And the sunshine still is golden,
But it falls on silvered head.
AID the girlhood dreams, once vanished
Come back in her winter time,
Till her feeble pulses ,remble
With the thrill of spring lime prime.
And looking forth from the window,
She thinks how the trees have grown
Since, clad in her bridal whiteness,
She crossed the old door siOne.
Though dimmed her eve's bright azure,
Ana dimEed her hairs young gold,
The love in her girlhoOd ali3hted
Hss never grown dim or old.
They sat in their place in the sunshine,
Till the day was almost done,
And then, at It's clese, an angel
Stole over the threshold stone.
He folded their hands together
He touched their eyebails with balm;
And their last breath duated upward,
Like the close Of Q solemn psalm.
Like bridal par they iraversed
The unseen, mystic road
That leads 10 the beautiful city,
'WnOss builder and maker is God"

Here are few extracts from the
Chicago Tribune, . prominent republi-
can newspaper, giving the real reason
Of the senate's opposition to retrench-
ment and reform:
.The senate rejected the house bill
for tho reduction and equalization Of the
salaries of postmasters. Postmasters
are valuable operators in machiae poll
tics, and senators appoint postmasters,
and senators are willing to pay post
masters exorbitant salaries out of the
treasury. = There is an immense ex-
penditure tor daily mails on routes where
the business does not yield enough to
pay for weekly services. but mail con-
tractors are admirable operators in ma
chine politics.. and some few millions
have to be expended to keep the ma.
chine in motion. There is vast room
far reduction in wastefnl expenditure in
the postal service. The salaries are all
too large, the number of persons en-
ployed too great, the amount paid TO-:
the transportation Of mails excessive,
MT only in the way of compensation
for service rendered. but for compensa.
ton where there is no service rendered.
But reduction in expenditure when
there is q power to increase the tax is .
heresy in modern craftsmanship
