A man can build mansion

A man can build a palace,
With lofty walls and stout:
A man can build temple,
With high aud spacious dome;
But no man in the world can build
That precious thing called Home.
So tits happy faculty
OF women far and wide,
To turn a cot or palace

Where brothers. sons and husbands

With willing footsteps come,
A place of rest where love abounds,

Especial Correspondence
The recent deadlock was one of the
longest ever known in the history Of Con-
gress. 1t lasted just week and day and
two all-nirht sessions we're held. During
that time not single item of business was
transacted The members dropped their
petitions and private bills into the bill-box
as usual, and they appeared in the Record
next day. Committees were allowed to
meet. but few did, as the situation in the
House was too critical for all concerned
The various employees Of the House were
worked harder than ever. The doors had
to be watched, the pages had to run errands,
the telegraph operators had to be at their
keys, the clerks were kept busy calling the
rolls and keeping a record of motions, the
stenographers had to take down every thing
that was said. The Speakers work was
