WASHINGTON, Fsb 25.--The Senate re.
sumed consideration Of the bill Tor the
construction OF new steel cruisers this
morning. Mr.. Bayard favored the bill,
AID, after reviewing the action OF Con.
gress on the navy during the last few
years, said it was impoasib!e for seustors
to ignore that there was, for ons reason
or another, q great deal of distrust in the
heal Of the navy department. In the
opinion OF many men, the Presidents
affection Of an incumbent tor that pOsi-
ton was not a wise one. This was not
question Of personal assault, but of the
fitness Oh tue person for the place. There
WAS nothing in The antecedentS or acquire
msnts Of the individual referred to that
rendered his selection wise. He (Mr.
Bayard) would be reluctant to give pain
to any man, but these were public cues
tiJus, AID should be discussed 10 plain,
oTeu and public manner. IL was in no
other spirit that he referred TO this sub.
isat. It was partly for this reason that
Congress- had placed restrictions upon
ths bailding OF the ships now in COURSE
Of construction.
Mr. Hale remarked that he had given
notice OF au amendment to the lending
bill, which would throw the protection Of
tbs acsa of 1882 aud 1888 around the
ships now proposed, and that amend

many readers will doubtless enjoy. AS the
author sent no head for it, one has been given
to it which is less poetical than accurate
The winter is now fast fading away
Soon the farmers will rake up their meadows

And the sweet little lark will sing on the sod.
Where many day each Of us have trod.
The spring time is coming, and near by at

We view the fields to far distant land.

gay
Chirp out like trumpet in the sweet month

The buds will soon open from the boughs of

And the sweet blossom hang down for all us

ARaLUENs

lin August, 1882, a young Australian poet
died in Sydney. His name was Kendale.
Had he lived he would have made great
name. Here is one Of his poems-on the
death OF his child, a poem that is an en-
bodied sob j
Take this rose and very gently place it ON the
tender, deep
Mosses where our little darling Araluen lies
asleep;
Put the blossoms close to baby-kneel with
me, my love and pray
We must leave the bird we've buried-say
goodbye to her to day
In the shadow of our trouble we must go to
other lands,
And the flowers we have fostered will be left
TO other hands.
Other eyes will watch them growing, other
feet will softly tread
Where two hearts are nearly breaking, where
80 many tears are shed.
Bitter is the world we hive in life and love
are mixed with pain
We will never see the daises-never water
them again
All the saddest thought in leaving baby in
this bush alone
IL that we have not been able on her grave to
place stone
We have been too poor to do it but, my
darling, never mind,
God is III the gracious heavens, and His sun
and rain are kind.
They will dress the spot with beauty they
will make the grasses grow
Many winds will lull our birdie many songs
will come and go.
Here the blue eyed Spring will linger here
the shining mouth will stay
Like friend by Araluen, when we two are far
away.
But beyond the the wild. wide waters, we will
tread another shore
We will never watch this blossom, never see
1t any more,
Girl, whose hand at Gods high altar i'll the
dear dead year l pressed,
| Lean your stricken head upon me, this is still
your lovers breast
She who sleeps was first aud sweetest, none
We have to take her place;
Empty ID the little cradle; absent is the little
face
Other children may be given, but this rose
beyond recall
But this garland of your girlhood will bt
dearest Of them AL
| None will ever, Araluen, nestle where yor
! used to be,
In my heart OF hearts, you darling when the
| world was new to me-
| We were young when you were with us, life
and love were happy things
To your father and your mother, ere the
angels gave you wings.
lou that sit and sob beside me-you upon
whose golden head
Many rains of many sorrows have from day
to day been shed
Who, because your love was noble, faced with
me the lot austere,
Ever pressing with its hardship on the mar
of letters here
Let me feel that you are near me; lay YOU
hand within mine own
lou are all haveto live for, now that we ART
left alone.
Three there were but one has vanished. Sim
of mine have made YOU weep,
But forgive your baby's father now tina
baby is asleep,
Let us go, for night is falling leave the dar
ling with her flowers
Other hands Will come and tend them, othe
friends i'll other hours

An OLD YAGABUND.
John boyle O,ReiIIy.

He was old and alone, and he sat on stone
TO rest for awhile from the road
His beard was white, and his eye WAS bright,
and his wrinkles overlooked
With mild content at the way life went; and
closed the book on my knee
~ will venture look in this living book, l
thought as he greeted mo.
And l said my friend, have you time to
spend to tell me what makes you glad =
so ay, my lad" with Il smile; I'm glad
that I'm old, yet am never sad "
"But why ?" said 1; and his merry eye made
answer as much as his tongue;
because" said he, 81 am poor and free who
was rich and a slave when young.
There is naught but age can allay the rage of
the passions that rule mems lives;
And man to BIO free must poor man be, for
unhappy is he who thrives
lie feares for his ventures, his rents and de-
bentures, his crops, aud his son, and his
wife
Ills dignity's sighted when he's not invited
he fears every day OF his life.
But the man who IL poor, and by age has
grown sure that there are no surprises III
years,
Who knows that to have ID no Joy, nor to
save, and who opens his eyes and his
ears
10 the world as it is, and the part of it his,
aud who says; ''They are happy, these
birds,
Yet they live day by day in improvident way
-Improvident? What were the words
OF the Teacher who taught that the field
lilies brought the lesson of life to "a
man2'
Can We better tho thing that is schoolless,
or slug more OF love than the nightingale
can?
g.. Al. Ii -,
creature needs science or culture or care2
Send this dog to a college and stuff him with
knowledge, will it add to the warmth CT
his hair
Why should mankind, apart, turn from Ma
ture to Art, and declare the exchange
better-plannedp
prefer to trust God for my living than plod
for my bread at Il masters hand.
A mans higher being il knowing and seeing,
not having and toiling for more
In the senses and soul is the joy of CONTROL
not in pride or luxurious store.
Yet my needs are the same as the kingling 3
whose maine is terror to thousands
some bread,
Some water and milk, ! can do without silk,
some wool, and a roof for my head.
What more is possest that will stand the grim
test OF deaths verdict? What riches
remain
To give joy at the last, all the vanities past
-Ay, ay, that's the word-they are vain
And vexatious of spirit to all who inherit
belief in the world and its ways
And 30, old and alone, sitting here on stone,
| smile with the birds at the days"
And thanked him, and went to my study,
head bent, where | laid down my book
on its shelf
And that day all the page that read was my
age, and my wants. and my joys, and
myself.

feared ii might hurt the sale of Texas

Colonel Driskill, one of the largest cattle
men in the United Stat 8, said the bill
was ali right, particularly that feature
regarding the importation of oattl-. It
oopid not injure the Texas cattle interests,

BELL BIRDS.
dali.

BY channels of GOODNESS the echoes are calling,
And down the dim gorges l hear the creek
falling;
1t lives in tho mountain, where moss and the
sedges
Tou Ii with their beauty the banks and the
lodges,
Through breaks of the cedar and sycamore
bowers
Struggles the light that is love to the flowers.
And softer than slumber and sweeter than
singing
The notes of the bell birds are running and
ringing
Welcome as wate-s unkissed by the summers
Are the voices of bel birds to thirsty far
corners
When fiery December sets foot in the forest,
Pent in the ranges tor ever and ever.
The bell birds di eet hin to sp.ing and to
river
With ring and with ripple, like tunnels whose
torrents
Are toned by the pebbles and leaves in the
currents
