syAsEExNGyON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, ID. g.,
Dec. 25, '70.

The Adjournment of Congress has
had little perceptible effect on the
crowds in the streets of Washington.
Many members remain, and always
during the Christmas season, there are
many persons here from abroad. Of
course all our own people are out, men,
women and children. The display of
Christmas e., DDS is finer this year, |
think, than ever before. Most people,
happily, give to something at this sea
son, and some deprive themselves of
some ordinary comfort rather than not
make happy others near and dear to
them. The hard times" will never
rob lis of TIE happy Christmas habi,
of giving to those we love and those
who need.
We shall have, on the reassembling
OF Congress, a renewed effort to extend
our trade with South American ports
We shall always have such efforts
while our manufactures are shipped in
English vessels from this country to
England. sold there and then shipped
in English vessels to South America,
paying three or four profits to English
men, while reducing the profits Of our
manufacturers and the wages OF our
workmen. What shape the relief ask
ed for will take lis not known, but
prominent Dem ocrats and Republicans
not heretofore identified with any such
movement will be interested in it.
The politicians are quarreling over
Minister Bayard Taylor place with.
liveliuess not at all becoming. Gov,
Hortrauft. of Pa, and Gov. John b.
Henderson, of Mo-, are most named,
aud, as Mr.. Hayes has long wished to
oblige the latter gentleman, it is likely
the Office will 60 to him: Senator
Christesucy has been mentioned, but
as this is simply scheme to get Chan
dler back to tho Senate il will not re-
ceive much con siderstion from the ad
ministratiop. Outside OF politics.
Richard ii. Dana. Jr.. OF Mass, is
mentioned. As combining advantages
both 10 a political and literary sense,
and as = representative of tho reform
principles SO desr to the Administrs-
ton, George wm. Curtis is spoken Of.

When the crystal heights Of silence
Are with starry splendors crowned,
Aud the night. stupendous shadow, ,. ...
Wraps the dreaming world around,
Thro'. the purple gates Of twilight,
Flushed with sunsets dying glow.
In the days departing Footsteps ....
Silent angels come aud gSi
Unforgotten deeds Of kindness,
Gentle words that lightensd care,
ClaSping hands and CHEEKY greetings
That have s.blest us unaware;
Hopes, whose rainbow light Of promise
From unclouded ether shed,
Arehed our moVnIng dreams with splendor
In the spring timss that are dead!
Love, that lulls us with the vision
Ofa nobler lie than this,
Where the souls inoarnate Ideal
Dwelt in Apotheosis;
Faiths-long ,caneelled-that wcrssplIgh.ed
To the friends sfkrmer years,
Touched the sealed springs OF feeling,
And unlocked the fount Of tearsl
In the silence palpitating
With the sense Of unseen things,
We car feel their phantom touches
Hear the measured sweep Of Wings
Catch the fleeting, shsdowy fragrance
OF unesrthly roses, shed
By the fair, unfadIrg garlands
wreathed about each shining head.
In our souls some sleeping sorrow
wakes TO throbbIne life again;
smouldcring griefs Of keener passion
Leap beneath their touch Of pain;
Lost delights unstable pleasures
Dreams that died and made no sign ~.
shadowy shosts Of joys departed, ...,.
Our departing hearts divine. .n
Now they feel the fruitless longing
OF Ofunsleeping memory,
For the loved get vanished faces
Weno more on earth shall see
Or, with tender hands they lead us
Back by pleasant paths of yore,
To the lowly. grass grown thresholds
Weary fee: shall pass no more!
