CONGRESSIONAL D0INGS.
HOUSE,

HOUSE.
Washington, March, THE house went
into committee OF the whole on the defcien-
cy appropriation bill.
Thu amendment increasing the number of
temporary clerks in the treasury depart
ment caused discussion as to the relative
economy Of the republican and democratic
houses.
MIR. Foster said two sessions of the demo-
cratic house failed to investigate the bureau
of engraving and printing, while the present
secretary Of the treasury, one of the best ad-
ministrative officers the country ever had,
reduced its expenses over $500, 900 and
saved 100000 from the appropriations of
the last congress.
The amendment was rejected.
An amendment by Mr.. Baker requiring
the distribution Of clerkships pro rata among
states and territories was ruled out.
Mr.. Cox asserted that the last congress
saved $4,000, 900 despite republican Cd.
position, while Mr.. Foster claimed that the
real reduction over the deficiency was only
Sl2,0O0,O0O
Mr.. Randall said Mr.. Cox gave exactly
correct figures, and said the secretary Of
the treasury had credited the house with
the reduction and had warned them to keep
on in that direction.
Some further discussion occurred on this
point.
Messrs. Page and Hooker discussed the
item of $4,000 for clerks to investigate
fraudulent land ~enteries and trespasses on

1t appropriates $4,000 for temporary
treasury clerks, $50, 900 for investigation Of
land treapasses, and a few other sums.
Adjourned.

PLEASURE FOR CHILD'-Douglas Jerrold
wrote thus pleasantly of child life /; Z" Blessed
be the hand that prepares pleasure for
child, for there is no saying when and where
il may bloom forth. Does not almost every
body remember some kind hearted man who
showed him kindness in the days of his
childhood? The writer Of this recollects him
self, at this very moment, as a barefooted lad,
standing at the wooden fence of a poor little
garden in his native village, where, with long
ing eyes, he gazed on the flowers which were
blooming there quietly in the brightness OF a
Sunday morning. The possessor came forth
from his little cottage he was wood-cutter
by trade, aud spent the whole day at work in
the woods. He was coming into the garden
to gather flowers to stick in his coat when he
won't to church. He saw the boy, and break
ing off the most beautiful Of his carnations,
which was strealsed with red and white, he
gave it to him. Neither the giyer nor the re-
ceiver said word, and with bounding steps
the boy ran home. And now, here at a dist
ance from that home after SO many events
of SO many years, the feeling of gratitude,
which agitated the breast of that boy express
SEES itself on paper. The carnation has long
since wishered but now 1t blooms afresh."

BY AVID BIZ.


Be quiet restless hearts, The long light lies
In CLEANS of lingering sunshine on the hill
The home-bound swallow twittering as he flies,
Makes silence seem more still.
The shadows deeper grow, and in the woods
The air latent sweetness holds in fee
An odor faint of yet ubblossomed buds
So like, dear heart, to thee
Far distant in the soft eeruean deep,
Where the horizon bodnds the neither worlds
Great ships becamed like hrooding birds asleep,
Lie with white sails loose fured.
In peace the day is ended and the night
Faeth does veil nlon the sea
Along its bosom come with swift.winged fight
The gray msts silently
o anxious heart, how Nature speaks Her power
How leisureiy she uses How intense
The infinite peace of hen most fruitful hours
How soft her influence,
Time hath she for her storms to sweep the main
To rock the treetcps with her winds of wrath
To bring forth fragrance In the summer rain
And time for snow 81 haiti
So dear for all thy eager soul desires,
She keeps sweet times and seasons. In her mood
Is hid for thee all PASSIONS subtle fires
To round thy womauhood
Cease, then! and In this dewy twilight move
This gift for all holds still the Eternal Love
Gods endless by and by.
