Just for little while. and know
That Only I, OF all the world,
Possessed them
A slender shape in that old chair,
III could see YOU here tonight,
Between me aadthe twilight pale
80 fsai and light.
Your cool white dress it's folding lost
la one broad sweep Of shadow gray;
Your weary head just dropped aside,
he sweet old way.
Bowed like fower-cup dashed with TaiS,
The darkness crossIng half yoar face,
And Just the glimmer OF a smile
For one 10 trace.
III could see your eyes that reach
Far out into the furthest sky,
Where, past the trail OF dyiog suas,
The old years lie;
Or touch your silen, lips tonight,
And steal the sadness from their snlle,
And fad the last kiss they have kept
This weary while.
Ifii could be-0h, all in vain
The r0stless trouble Of my soul
Sets, as The great tide TO tho moon,
Towards your control;
n vain the longing of the lips.
Tho eyes desiire, and the pa!nj
The hunger OF the hesrt-Oh, love,

ARMY PROMOTIONS.

A special telegram to the Inter- Ocean
from Washington, May .23d, says that pro-
motions In the army will now go on, as the
senate has decided that the report of the
Burnside committee was disposed of. 1t
will be remembered that the judiciary COM
mittee reported some days ago that under
the Law which prohibited promotions until
the Burnside plan could be disposed Of there
could be no promotions in the army, be-
cause Of the failure Of congress to act upon
it, was not q disposal Of the plan. This
report was sustained by nearly all of the
democrats, aud by Senators Edmunda and
Hoar, republicans, and was opposed BY all
the other republicans and several demo.
Gratis. Those who were most active in
securing the defeat Of the committee were
Logan, Chandler Mcmillan, Burnside and
Plumb. Senator Burnside offered az
amendment to the committees report de
claring that promotions were lawful, anc
this amendment was adopted by vote .
Is to "a. There is 4 great deal Of oongrat
ulation among officers over this result, q
there are about 200 promotions pending.
