A CHOOSING.

1.-The child is mine, =" said the Daylight,
''For she is most like me;
SO get thee hence. thou gray Night,
We've naught to do with thee!
Her eyes are as blue as my skies:
Her locks are like the sun.
She shall but sleep meath thy skies,
When my glad hours are done"
''Not so," then spoke the Nighttime,
'She's fair as il my moon;
And her voice is like the lOve-rhyme
My own bird sings in June;
Her eyes are like the star-gems
Set far above the sun;
And her breath is sweet as the blossoms
That open when thou art gone"
.'Choose thou me-" said the Daylight.
''For all the world is mine;
The birds sing in my gay light
Like gold the waters shine;
And mine are all the best flowers
That ever the whole earth grow,
And mine are all the blythe hours
Wherein men come and CO."
''Nay, be thou mine," SAID the Nighttime,
''FOr too can give thee gold;
Paler indeed Is my bright time,
Fainter, and somewhat cold;
But the lover loves my fay-light;
With me the poet sings best;
While the toiling children of Daylight
Can use me but for rest"
Then she answered, "While flowers sunlit,
While the bird and the humming-bee
And the eyes of playmates fun lit,
Are joys enough tor me-
While burdens are light for bearing,
While sorrow is 10th to stay
So long, beyond all comparing.
l will love thee lest, o Day!
But when shall find gladness
TO all but myself unknown;
And when there shall come sadness
needs must endure alone;
When grief is too great for weeping
When bliss cannot bear the light
'Tis then, while the rest are sleeping,
That I'll watch with thee, o Night"

Pinchback was granted permission to
make a personal explanation. He said
that the action of himself and these sena-
tors was only decided npon mature delb-
GRAFTON. They intended to stand the
hazard Of the die. They had come there
as Republicans because they believed in
the interest of the state above the party.
He denounced the Republican party of
Louisiana IL unmeasured terms, and said
that Hayes, if inaugurated, could not
afford to soil his administration with this
blight upon the prosperity of the people.
He accused Ex-Governor Kellogg of Sc
curing his election as senator by corrupt
means.
