POETRY.
Venus.
BY LOUISE CHANDLER MoULToN.


The London Athen0una prints the following
verses on the picture of Venus, recently paint
ed BY Mr.. Burne Jones of London
Pallid with too much longing,
White with passion and prayer,
Goddess of Love and Beauty,
She sits in the picture there
Sits with her dark eyes seeking
Something more subtle still
Than the old delights of loving
Her measureless days to I'LL.
She has loved and been loved so Otter;
In the long, immortal years,
That she tires OF the worn out rapture,
Sickens of hopes and fears.
No Joy nor sorrows move her
Gone is her ancient pride,
For her head she found too heavy
The crown she has cast aside.
Clothed in her scarlet splendor,
Bright with her glory of hair,
Sad that she is not mortal
Eternally sad and fair
Longing for joys she knows not,
Athirst with vain desire,
There she sits in the picture.
Daughter Of Foam and Fire.

PURE BONE GOODS.

WE desire to call the particular attention OF farm
w ers to our bone Goods all of which are
strictly pure and for which, after thorough ex-
animation by the committee at the New England
and Maine State Fair, held at Portland, Sep
TENDER Sd to 18th, 1877 were awarded the highest
premium over all old competitors for that class of
goods.
1st-Our ground bone, for fertilizer, being
pure, contains large percentage of phosphoric
acid, nitrogen, amOnia and magnesia
which makes it the safest fertilizer for all kinds of
crops 1t is also very nice when composted with wood
ashes in equal parts.
2nd-Our bone meal has no equal in America.
1t is ground from pure hard bones, and is very
white and sweet. it has no offensive Od0r taste.
In fact it is as sweet as corn meal and cattle eat
it freely and with good results.
We likewise make extra article of poultry
bone of uniform size, no long slivers to choke the
hens. 1t helps to form the shell of the eggs, and
is what the poultry need at all times. A supply of
it should be kept in a box constantly before them.
We would further say that is object to
good reputation for our bone goods and we be-
lieve the only way is to make them strictly pure
ana those who favor us with their patronage may
rely upon it, that all the goods purchased Of us will
be strictly pure.
We also have constantly on hand, ground beef
scraps which poultry should always have in box
the same as poultry bone. 1t is also excellent to
feed to swine.

Durham made an Intellectual effort to
60 into committee Of the whole on the

preferred to adjourn and did so.
FRIDAY, Feb. Senate.--In the
senate during the morning hour
Mr.. Saunders called up IT, Joint
resolution, providing for the appoint
ment Of IS additional commissioners TO
the Paris exposition. II was discussed
until the expiration Of the morning
hour, and then referred 10 the commit
tee OH appointments, together with the
amendment appropriating So, 900 to
pay the salaries Of the additional COM
missioners. Consideration was then
resumed Of unfinished business, being
the silver bill The discussion CON
tinued during the session and the senate
adjourned until Monday without com
ing to Il vote.
FRIDAY, Feb. S.---HouSe In the
house bill was introduced to aid the
construction ofthe Texas Pacific railway.
The first bill taken mp was one appro-
pria.ing SIS, 430 to nay w. III, Newman
and l.. A. Van Holman, Of New York,
in full compensation for the use Of the
Pioneer mills III Alexandria by the
United States authorities during the
late war. The bill was advocated by
Messrs. Hunton, Finley, Robinson, Of
Indiana, and Wilson; opposed by Messrs
Jones, Of Ohio, and Conger, of Michigan.
The discussion closed with m argument
by Mr.. Tucker, i'll favor Of the bill.
The committee then rose and re-
ported the bill to the house, with the
recommendation that it be passed.
The bill VIVA then rejected; yeas
81, nays 100. The affirmative votes
came principally from the democratic
side, and the negatives from the repub-
lican side, but there were exceptions to
the rule on both sides. Before the an
nouncement of the vote, the question
arose as to the right of . member who
was absent during the roll call to vote,
Mr.. Mills taking the ground that Il
member could not ba deprived Of his
constitutional right by any rule Of the
house. The speaker decided with some
warmth that the question had been
agitated for years, and had been
uniformly decided against that position;
that this was not in conformation of
any constitutional right because it was
the duty Of members 10 be present and
to attend to their public duties The
vote having been announced the mo
ton TO reconsider and to lay on the
table was made but pending the motion
the house adjourned.
