A BALLAD.

Love and alike were young
Years and years ago
Jolly was the strain we snng,
But old Time works woe.
Now LIES mournful harp il strung
Into ditties sad and low
Sweet to tears but sad and slow.
through fair fields we held our wAy,
Dainty Love and L;
Glad the road and glad the day,
Magic bright the sky.
sbyly, sweetiy, Love would say,
Love me ere You pass me by,
Love me more that [ must die.
But she glowed immortal then;
Dread Of doleful death
Dweit not on the browa Of men
Joy was every breath.
Scarce I dreamed of Sorrow, when
On Loves brow saw wreath.
Flowers Of grief and blooms ofdeath
Sow sit beside the fire,
While the dead voice calls,
And the shadows flicker higher
On my chamber walls;
Like that shadow of desire
Which Within me mounts and falls.
Flickers upward, fades and falls.

The FLORIDA -VoTE.-A dispatch
from Tallahassee, Fla, to the New
York World, states that On Thursday
last Gov. Drew approved an act @ef the
Legislature passeda few days since, re-
curing the board of canyassers 10 make
canvass of the electoral vote, in ac-
cordance with the decision of the SUI
preme Court in the case of Bloxham
VS.. the Secretary of State, decided in
January, 1871, and in the case of Drew,
decided December %, 1876.
| In obedience to this law the board Of
canyassers met on Friday, Attorney
General Raney, having been of counsel
for the democratic electors. declined to
act, and Mr.. Corley, commissioner OF
lands and immigration, was designated
in his place. The canvass was then
gone into and all the returns found to
be regular were counted and footed w
IA, 434 for the Tilden electors, and "a.
$40 for the Hayes electors.
In the quo warranto case before Judge
White, the matter reached an issue OF
Friday. The respondents pleaded, first
that the Hayes electors received a
majority of the votes cast, and secondly
the canvassing board so legally counted
and declared and adjourned without day
and their existence ceased. Com
plainants demurred to the second plea
and the demurrer was sustained by the
court. A jury to try the issue was
waived, and the case is submitted to
the court on the question of fact raised
by the first plea.

When the late constitutional amend
ments were adopted, both by the gener'
al assembly and the people, it was I'M
derstood that they could not be put in
effect till 1879. Just now doubt has
sprung up. and among three varying
conclusions is one that the reduction o.
senator's and members can begin with
the pext legislature. If this be cor.
rect constitutional view Of the matter:
let Us by all means have the necessary
legislation. We must reduce reptesep:
tation under these amendments. Why
wait two years if it can be done now:
fdone now we will be forty thousand
dollars better of in 1879,
