The Young Mans Visions

None but the brave deserve the fair, r,-D,wic,
And white and virgin Lilies
For Nirgin'souls abOund.-LM HWnM
A youth sat in his fathers hall;
Around were paintings rare and old,
Aud one, upon the eastern wall,
The sunset touched with tender gold;
Aswcrt Madonna, meek and fair
With lilies IN her hands and hair.
| OFT had he seen that face before,
| But now, the tranquil summer eve,
| The peace those lovely features wore,
spell around him seemed to weave,
| And sleep crcpt DER him IN that hour,
Aud brought u vision, full Of power.
He stood within n pleasant spot
Where ihircst flowers were growing free,
He saw the blue Forget
The type Of lovers cUnsuncv;
The Pansy with It's cheerful mlcn,
And modest Violet, vcilrd in green.
The Mignonctte Its perfume sent,
Like incense from pOns prayer;
The quccnly Rose above him bent,
with crown more rich than mOrtals wear,
But though they charmed him with their grace
He sought some furcr form to trace.
Al length half hidden in the shade,
He saw n Liy's snowy CLEAN,
Lighting the greenncss of the glade
With lustre like the moOnlight's beam;
He spn,ng to clasp the tow'rct fair
When 10. voice--"First Wia, then icedr ~

With thorns and bricrs thick bestead,

And yet he bnvcly climbed each slope,
Led onward by an unseen hope
Anon, his path led DER plain
Where glowing fruits and flowers were rife
And syren voices sang-"R Remain,
And lead with us merry life !"
But fair the Lily's form uprose,
And led to conquest DER his foes
And when his dreNmlnnd tasks were DER,

To ponder DER this wOndrous dream,

Once as they wandered in glade,
Where dcwy shadows dance all day,
He told his vision to the maid,
Aud wOve for her this simple lay;
And when the weddng.morn rose fair,
With lilies white she wreathcd her hair,
And meath their pure and snowy CLEAN,
She seemed the spirit of his dream.

It not perhaps generally known, says
the St. Louis Republican, that the author
of of"Home, Sweet Home" was madly in
love with Miss Maria Mayo, of Rich
mond, Va, afterward Mrs. Gen. Winfield
Scott. Miss Mayo was a famous belle,
and as remarkable for her wit ss for her
beauty. Poor Payne was not the only
one who had laid his hesrt at her feet
and had to take it up again; but he
probably suffered more from his dissp
pointment than the rest of the rejected
lovers. When all hope of winning the
fair prize was abandoned, he went
abroad never to return; and there is no
doubt that the cor-oding sorrow hast
ened him to the grave he found in a
foreign land. The tradition in Rich
mond is that Scott addressed Miss Mayo
when he was orly Captain In the army,
and received a prompt dismissal. He
repeated the experiment when he WAS a
Major, but with no better success. The
third time he. proposed he wore the
epaulettes of General, and then was
accepted. A friend of the lady asked
her why she changed her mind. The
reply was, I'm my estimation there Is a
vast difference between Captain or even
Major Scott and General Scott"

Speaker Randall.

From he New York Tribune.
Mr.. Samuel j. Randall, Speaker of
the House Of Representatives, did not
90 into the chair amid such expressions
of approval as attended Mr.. Kerr And
yet he is, in most ways, tar better fitted
for the place. He is familiar with par.
liamentary law, ready, a shrewd politi-
clan, and better qualified, by long expe
rience and natural ability, to be either
the Speaker of the House, or the leader
on the floor, than any of his fellow men,
bers. There have occasionally been hints
that Mr.. Randall WAS not unknown 10
gent lemen of the lobby; but when he
was candidate year ago, the Tribune
gave considerable space to an eXnmina.
tion Of these inucndoes, and showed
pretty conclusvely that they were un-
warranted. We thought him a good
man for the Speakership then, and if he
had not been so peculiarly perverse on
all partisan points and in wrong-headed
efforts at impracticable retrenchments
during the session, we should think very
highly of his promotion now. 1t was
doubtless the best the party could do.
and in party sense an exceedingly good
thing To do He is stitf.neckcd, aggres-
sive, and quite likely in the stormy con-
flicts OF the present House to carry things
with high hand. He will find it
great comfort, however, to reflect that
Mr. Blaine is IN the Senate.
1t seems to be supposed in Washing
ton that Mr.. Randall has been chosen
because he was Gov. Tilden's man. This
may he so, and yet it is little curious.
One of the first things he did last ses-
sion was to quarrel with. Mr.. Hewitt on
the amazing bill for the reduction of the
diplomatic service. Mr. Randall seemed
to know thoroughly what the party
wanted; Mr.. Hewitt certainly knew what
the country needed. Randall objected
to being instructed by green member,
and Hewitt objected TO being put down
by one who didn't understand the sub
ject The result was that for more than
half the session they were not on speak
ing terms. 1t would be queer thing if
Mr.. Hewitt really did carry Gov Tilden's
instructions to Washington, and did
thereupon proceed to give Mr.. Randall
the nomination.
Mr.. Cox showed how many lives he
has, and how hard he is to kill. No
body supposed his candidacy could
amount to anything, and yet he had 63
votes. The promotion of Mr.. Randall
must bring Mr.. Saylor prominently to the
front on the foor As Speaker pro tenn.
he was a success, and the failure to con-
tinue him in the place is sure to have its
compensation. But, after all, the men,
ber Who made the most reputation at the
last session was Mr.. Hewitt. He is no
doubt the ablest practical man of his
party in the house, and his relations tg
Gov. Tlden and the campaign probably
insure him the leadership to which his
brains entitle him.
