THE SOEGsTREss.
A mondays sun was shining
Down Oh dusty street,
While all day long, with busy throng
Sounded the tramp of feet.
A child scarce larger than babe
Was pressing with the throng,
She stopped, and every now and then
She sang a simple song.
Some looked at her with wonder
And some with great surprise
A. they gazed upon her upturned face
And in her dark blue eyes.
Some stopped and spoke 10 her,
And listened to her voice,
While others threw penny,
That made her heart rel nee.
Two boys passed by and laughed
To see her standing there,
And one said to the other,
"See, there is yellow hair!"
Her eyes dimmed at this statement,
The boys went on their way
But kind voice at her side spoke low.
"lIeed not, my dear, what they say.
o, pity the little songstress!
She asks not for ren0wn,
But on her pure and gueless life
Let not Dame Fortune irown.

the MATTHEWS RESOLUTION.

Somewhat o. q sensation vas created
In the Senate Yesterday, by SIR. Stanley
Matthews. who by the wsyis continually
creating sensations Of some kind. After
the Senate had voted on Allison's mo-
ton to consider the silver bill on Tues
day next. Mr.. Matthews offered the fol-
lowing resolution. which WA disposed
OF by referring 1t to the Committee on
finances
Resolved. Ry the Senate. and the House

that all bonds OF tho United States issued,
or authorized 10 b. issued. under said acts

tender In payment Of said bonds. principal

public faith nor in ~derosztion Of the rights
Of public creditors"
The object Of this resolution. coming
AS Il does. 10 soon after the publication
Of President Hayes message, is very
apparent. II is a "fselsr'' from the
White House. The vote upon II ~ill
show the President precisely what con
struction the two Houses Of Congress
place upon the silver bill now before
them. II they pass the above rssolu-
ton. ii will prove that they consider our
bonds. both a, home and abroad. legiti-
mately payable in silver under the oper-
atoms OF the decentralization Act. and
Dir. Hayes in defense Of the credit OF
the nation will promptly veto the bill
and kill II. II. on tho contrary. they
reject the Matthews resolution they will
pledge anew the faith Of the country to
deal justly with its creditors, and Mr..
Hayes will in all probability sign the
silver bill ~ amended in the Senate.
II is very desirable that this resolution
bc pressed to a speedy vote. Business
never will. and never can. revive to any
great extent until the financial policy OF
the nation Is thoroughly defined. We
are losing millions Of dollars In interest

East New York has furnished a dupli-
cate Of Charles l,eade's famous heroine
in his novel Of "a Terrible Tempta.
ton" One Cornelius Durysa. the dis
sipated scion Of an ancient and wealthy
family. fell In love some i've years ago,
with an Irish servant girl who did duty
In his fathers house. OF course his
passion WAS opposed by the family. but
his darling was vigorous and strong
minded. and she finally succeeded in in
ducing him to marry her. in spite Of the
protests Of his friends aud relations.
The usual result followed. The old
man refused to acknowledge her as a
daushtsr.in-law. and disinhsrited the
SOU who had displsased him. Since then
Duryss has worked a little aud drank a
great deal. and prepared n naturally
weak mind for the deception which has
just been praetic Ell on him. No child
came to bless his union with the ser.
rant girl. and Mrs. Durysa, with an eye
to the old gentlsman's money in the
future. determined to have ons nan
