ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE.
THE SENATE.

SPRINGFIELD, April 9,--In the afternoon
the consideration Of the appropriation bills
was resumed by the senate.
Senate bill No. 307 making appropria-
tons for the Illinois Charitable Eye and
Ear infrmary of 100000 per annum, and
81 900 for repairs and improvements, was
taken up. The committee amendment
substituting 81, 900 instead of $500 for
repairs and improvements adopted.
Mr. Merritt moved that the bill be recon.
mtted to the committee on appropriations.
Mr.. Jones moved to make the amount
$4,000. Lost.
The bill was then engrossed for third
reading,
Senate bill No, 314, making appropria-
tons for the Illinois Southern Hospital fol
the Insane at Anna, was taken up. The
sum asked for for the two years amount,
in the aggregate to 100000
Mr.. Josyn moved to strike out the S..
600 repairs item and insert $1,000. Adop.
ted.
Mr.. Fuller thought $500 year for the
improvement ofthc grounds was sufficient
and moved TO strike out $1,000 and insert
that amount. He thought the state could
get along with that sum.
Mr., Ware thought the state could get
along without making any appropriations
That in his opinion, wasn't the question
but what was actually needed.
The amendment was rejected.
Mr.. Merritt moved to strike out 100000
and insert $4,000. lie then attacked tn,
bill vigorously and charged that the calling
for the appropriation of IN uncxpendec
balance Of $4,000 was sham originating
with the state board of charities. There was
none of this money in the treasury as wa,
pretended. There never had been made
an appropriation that was not used Two

THE BLIND PAUPEIR.

There, in the santng yellow sun,
That gleameth down from the bluest skies,
The pauper by the sick wards door,
Sits with his sightless eyes.
Before him lie the free glad woods.
Clad in springs ever varied green,
With sunshine gliding oak and elm,
And fethery fern between.
The summer wind comes mumuring soft
Through waving boughs and leafy screen,
Wild lilies shake their sweet. white bells,
In many nook unseen.
Blue hyacinths as a carpet lie,
Beneath the wandering feet that pass.
Uprising, like colored mist,
Amid the tangled grass.
The blackbird pours its joyous lay,
The cookoo's welcome note is heard,
And dim through many a weary heart,
Soft memories are stirred:
Echoes offar back. blooming springs,
Where life had light and laughing tread,
Ere autumn rains had marred the flowers,
And youth and hope lay dead.
Yet there the blind old pauper sits,
Within the dreary workhouse gate,
On, What struggling thing is life,
With poverty for mate
Oh, what a shadow'd mist must fall
What gloom and darkness come between
The mind, when Natures sunlit face
Is never felt or seenI
What does he think as he sits there?
Do floating fancies come and go?
Does ever the warmth of the golden sun
Light up the long ago?
Or has the brain and heart alike grown numb'd
With frost age and chill of pain,
TIL never the dreams the vauIsned past,
Or its shadows, come again?
Who knows had he songs that were lacking words I?
Music alas but no skill to play?
Does he joy in the thought that soon must set
The sun on his laughing day?
Does he see afar, with his sghtless eyes,
land where falleth no shade of night,
Where sorrows and glooms. that puzzle now,
Are chased by eternal light?
