IS early disposition of the subject as

dications that the whole revision would
finally be defeated on account of some
Of the amendments. The greatest dan.

and some Of the other, less important
ones. The first-named committee de.

a division and distribution of the bills

wiser members, like Speaker Randall
and General Garfield, oppose the
change, butt combining the strength
and influence Of these little, unimpor-

near doing considerable damage. Any
one experienced in legislation will see
at glance that the effect of disturb
ing the cotrol Of tho appropriations
increase the damage Of raids upon the
Treasury, and it will be noticed that
the lobby is unanimous for the change.
Another thing that threatened to aid
in defeating the revision was the at
tempt of the Republicans to amend the
rules SO as to prohibit attaching riders,
containing political legislation, to APP
preparation bills A few Democrats
took @ position in favor of these
amendments at first, and things look
ed little squally, but after the speech
of Frank Hurd who showed these
Democrats how much they were in

THE MAIDENlS PRAYER.

BY N. RI WILLIS.
4 s "a ---@---&
She arose from her delicious sleep,
Aud put away hersoftbrown hair,
And in tone rs low and deep
Asloves first whisper, bfeathed a prayer;
Her snow-white hands together pressed,
Her blue eyes sheltered IN the lid,
The folded linen on her breast
Justlswelling with the charms II hid.
And from her long and flowing dress
Escaped bare and snowy foot,
Whose step upon the earth did press
Like a sweet snowflake soft and mute
And then from slumber chaste and warm,
Like young spirit fresf from heaven,
She bowed that young and matchlcss form
And huns6iy prayed to be forgiven.
Oh, God If souls as pure as these
Need daily mercy from Thy throne
II she, upon her Blended knee,
Our holiest and our purest one
She with face so clear aud bright
We DEF m her some stray child Of light
II she, with these soft eyes andtears,
Day after day in her young years,
Must kneel and pray for grace from Thee,
How hardly &c she win not heaven
viii Our wild errors be forgiven.

For THE RECORD.
TIE OLD SQUARE 1LMANAO.s,


April 81. Our retrospective glance goes
the length of twenty-five centuries. On this
day B. @. $685. the chroniclers tell us that Al
exander the Great and Diogenes of sinope
both died. The coincidence Is a curious one.
Each In his own sphere, perhaps, and certain
ly each in his own estimation, was without a
peer the one, as an Emperor OF empires !;
the other as snarling Philosopher. Plu-,
tarch's well-known anecdo te of their inter-
view al Corinth, If not strictly true, is truly
illustrative Of the characteristics of both.--
The young Captain General of the Grecian
forces coveting the Cynic's regard, and am
bilious to play the patron to every one, asks
too absequiously of the grabbed thinker, :" IL
there was anything in which he could serve
him. and gets for.his answer, ssOnly stand a
little out of my snnshine.n The soldiers
comment was apt enough !: /" II i were not
Alexander, should wish to be Diogenes.''-
We like Diogenes better, on two other oc-
casions, when he showed love Of learning,
and dignified endurance, worthy Of philos-
opher In his youth, putting himself to school
to Antisthews the head Of the Cynies, and
being repealed from the house even with
blows, he said calmly, Strike me Antisth-
ews, but never shall you find stick sufficient
" hard to remove me from your presence,
while you speak anything worth hearing."--
And again. in old age, the slave of pirates,
answering the auctioner's inquiry as to what
he could do. +" / can govern men therefore
