Anu h0Ode'l viOieis, with dim. fragrant lips,
| Asleep and dreaming fairy dreams each one.
There lurk myri.l., quick and linked roots
| Coilcd for spring when the ripe time is

The brave chrysan,hcnum's pale yellow
And latToils, the vanguard or the rear;
The nodding snow,lrop and the coiumhine:
| The hariy crOcus, prompt to hear call
! Pensilc wistaria, and thick woodbne:
And valley lilies, sweetest OF them all
All unlisinaycd. although The drifts are deep
All sure Of spring and strong OF cheer lhey
and We, who see but snoSs, we smile ;.n,,

The seli-same courage in the hyand-by.
All. the same drifts shrouI other precious
Tlowerlikc faces, pallid nOw and chill,
Feet laid to rest after Ions, jOurncyi:igs.
And lair and folded HANDS forever still.
All nndsmaycd, in deep and hushcd repose.

And we. whose yearniag eyes sec but tlit

mcnt upon unlucstioned authority and
if its accuracy is called in question by
Senator Cameron, or any one authorized
to speak for him, the proof will be forth
conirgat the proper time. The gentle
man from whom We derive this ip!Orma
ton thoroughly understands the situation,
has been and is now in closer confidential
relations with General Garfield than any
other man in Pennsylvania-a gentleman
whose word is taken by all who k'.ow him
and which, in this matter, is corroborated
by evil nee the exhibition OF which would
