SUNSHINE. SONG ANp SADNESS.

The oriole sings
Ana the sunshine filings
Its gold through my window pane,
And a sweet perfume
Steals into my room
From the lilacs In the lane.
The skies are clear;
In the school-yard near
The children romp IN glee;
The earth is bright
In the glad sunlight,
But what Is It all to me?
For, across the way,
There's din today
. That tortures my weary brain;
The maiden fair,
With the golden hair,
Is at the piano again.

We know Of none more bliehting in it,

virtue of women; nor is there anything
in which men are so thoroughly mis-
taken as the low estimate they form Of
the integrity OF women-not Of their

they forget, are somebody else's mothers
and sisters. As rule, no person who
surrenders to this dc,es,able habit is to be
trusted with any enterprise requiring in
tegIi'y of character. Plain words should
be spoken on this point, for the evil is
general one and deeprooted If men
are sometime thrown into the society of
thoughtless or levd women, they have no
more right to measure all other women
by what they see in them, than they
would have to estimate the character of
honest and respectable citizens BY the de-

SPARES REPRESSION.

WASHINGTON, March Sit is re-
ported that William A. J, Sparks, com
missioner of the general land Office, has
been invited to tender his resignation to
the secretary of the interior. Tnis ac-
ton was the result Of controversy that
occurred between Secretary Lamar and
Mr.. Sparks, and the order issued by the
former resembling the order issued by
the commissioner on the Sd of April,
1855.
When Mr.. Sparks came into the of.
6ce he proceeded upon the assumption
that the entire land department was rot
ten to the core. Learning of individual
eases Of fraud, be believed that not only
the land grant railroads aud large cor
porations, but majority Of the settlers
upon the public domain, were acquiring
title to public lands by fraudulent means
He regarded employees in his off e, old
agents OF the department and the clerical
force with suspicion aud aversion, a.
agents Of corrupt combinations. A few
months after his installation in office he
issued many new orders, revokin. old
ones and upsetting the business of the Of
flee generally.
His unique performance eliminated in
the famous order Of April 3D., refusing
to issue patents en- all claims of settlers
in Colorado, Dakota, Idaho, Utah, New
Mexico, Montana, Washington Territory,
Wyoming and Nevada, the greater par,
Of Kansas and Nebraska, and the north
ern part Of Minnesota. Every claim in
this vast suspected area Of country was
70 DO examined by special agents before
patents therefor should be issued BY the
government.
A universal howl went up from the
settlers in thu northwest, as by this out
rageous order men who had honestly
complied with the requirements of thu
law. perfected their claims and were en-
titled to patents, were debArred from Oh
tanning them because dishonest man ha
evaded or violated the land laws. Eas,
ern men who had loaned money on
claims earned and entitled TO patenl
were alarmed lest their security should
prove worthless. Delegates from every
territory and state affected, members Of
congress and senators, labored with Com
missioner Sparks to convince him Of his
error, but he was obstinate, and boas,eo
that his order would be sustained.
Yesterday the commissioner received
= kuockdown blow IN the shape Of Ter
emptorv order from the secretary OF the
interior, rcvoking the order of April 3D.
and directing that patents should be is
sued. The subject was discussed at q
cabinet meeting, and the President ad
vised Mr.. Lamar to rescind Mr.. Sparks
order.
