What is II that the wild bird says?
Come listen to his song
sweet, love is OF the summer time,
And summer is not long.
"The blossom fades upon the bough
Before the month OF June,
And when at last the red rose comes
She tarrles but moon.
Come while the earth is glad and gree
Well build our nest together;
For love Is OF the summer time,
And cannot bide foul weather.
sweetheartl Listen, listen well,
Unto the wild birds song
sweet, love is OF the summer time
And summer is not long,"
The May Is white upon the hedge,
Why should We longer tarry?
When hedger0ws bloom and wild bIrds neat
Then is the time to marry.

IN MEMORIAM.

The following resolutions were adopted
at the Woman's Missionary Society, Sat-
urday:
WHEREAS, it has pleased our Heavenly
Father, in His infinite wisdom and good
ness, t. remove from the sorrows of earth
to the joys of a purer and brighter cline
our beloved friend and sister, Miss Mary
Lakenan; and, whereas, it is the sense
and desire of this society to pay some
tribute of respect to the memory of the
deceased. Therefore,
Resolred, LIST. That, while we submissively
yield to the will of Him who is too wise
to err and too good to be unkind, we
sincerely deplore the death of our depart
ed sister, and recognize in this bereave-
ment the loss of n who, by her amia-
bic traits and gentle department., has en-
deared herself not only to the society OF
which she was a valuable member, but to
all who had the good fortune to know her.
End. That we hereby tender our earnest
sympathies to her friends and relatives,
and especially to her immediate connec-
lions, who have been called upon to
mourn her immediate death, and praying
that, as their loss is her eternal gain, they
may thus be encouraged to strive the
more zealously for an entrance into that
beautiful land to which, like Ian angel OF
light, she has flown.
3rd. That these resolutions be placed
upon the records of the society, and a
copy of them be sent to the family of the
deceased, and to the Mexico Inteltigencer
and Mexico LEDGER, with request that
the same be published.

THURSDAY, MARCH s, 1883.
CONGRESS-.

u 10 euhoeC ehoe C'Ci wv ySo'S
bring Congress to a halt and cause it
to surrender up its powers to a newly
elected popular representation, and
perhaps, just now, the country ought
to be congratulated that the Forty
seventh session of that body. so mis-
chievous and inconsistent in its leg
islation, encountered ,constitutionally,
sudden death on Sunday.
Very few of the bills contemplated
and upon its calendars became laws.
The voice of the last elections was
too potential for that, intended as
most of them we're to advance the ill.,
terests of monopolists. Among the
lost bills, however, was one to be
generally deplored-the river and
harbor bill.
The country will derive some relief
from the revenue and tariff bill, fixed
up through the mediation of Mr..
Blaine by a conference committee;
but to what extent 1t is too soon to
say. AS far as the reductions of tax
alton on sugar and tobacco go, both
are in the right direction, but both
ought to have been adopted years ago.
Little benefit Will ensue to the public
from the removals of patent medicine
and bank taxation. This was a sop
to the monopolists. The bill en-
braces nearly every interest, and
will effect many of them in ways that
can be ascertained only through ex-
perience of its operation. There is
being attached to it the parade Of an
immense reduction but to what ex-
tent and in what direction this Is to
be realized, is not so well understood.
That it leaves untouched what con-
sumers regard as their greatest bur-
dens is certain. The tightness of
grip with which the monopolists held
On to their projections is wonderful.
Never was there greater incapacity to
handle a national question manifested
by a dominant party, nor greater
need for Republican leadership.
After dallying and toying with dam
ger all winter, congress departed
without as much as a death-bed re-
pentence.
As a consequence there onght to
be but little wonder that the result
reached at Washington imparts little
satisfaction to anybody. Even the
tobacco growers think Congress might
have been more liberal, and have
freed that branch of agriculture from
taxation altogether. Something had
to be done, however. The Repubii'
can party could no longer with safety
to its existence hold on to its former
schedule of taxation, and the ont
adopted was the only n upon which
its factions could unite-sne uphold
ing protection and monopoly and con
tinuing as many partisans in Office a:
possible. Not until the Democratic
party comes into power and puts raw
materials on the free list will Ameri
can manufacturers be what the,
should. Not until that has been dom
will the industries of this country seel
a market abroad, as well as at home
and thus become capable of an expan
sion that will not only give employ
ment to labor, but furnish it cheapl,
all its necessities

LETTER NUMBER ONE.
To tile Editor of the LEDGER:
FARBER, March 5.-Day was try
ing to show how eastern men and re-
publicans were treated in 1867 and
how hard a town Mexico was at that
time. He said the business houses
were always closed at dark, and was
making several men here believe him
when / told him l had been about
Mexico often and did not believe a
word he was telling, though 1 knew
nothing of you or your family or how
they had been treated. X
LETTER lumber TWO.
To the Editor of the Ledger.
FARBER, March 5.-Please do me
the kindness not to make an attack
on Mr.. Cross, as that matter was per.
sonal and Mr.. Cross is a friend and
an old class-mate of mine. XXX
We are going to make no fight on
any one. We know Mr.. Cross had
nothing to do do with this matter.
Everything is now explained and al
see the point. Day was feeling &
little sour at the stomach and, as usu'
al, bloviates around and abuses the
people of Audrain and at the same
time he asks them to support his pa
per. How well they will stand sucl
treatment he knows to his sorrow.
