violets
From VIck's Magazine

From Vick's Magazine.
Blue and white, in soft array,
Over the meadows the violets lay,
Lowly and meek. as If kneeling TO pray.
A little brook goeth murmuring by,
Singing its tenderest Iul ably,
While softly the violets stir and sigh,
And to the MOSES gently cling.
And dainty bits Of color fling
Over the meadows wavering
List. as they whisper, soft and low,
10 the warm earth-heart below.
Where all sweet treasures spring and grow.
And the sweet bird; in yonder tree,
Sings TO the violets merrily,
Sending his heart out cheerily,
And feeting shadows come and go
Over the grasses, swift and slow,
Down where the blossoms bloom below.
Little violets, dainty and fair,
This one brief hour, O. let ma share
The spirit of your sweetness rare.

1t seems that Surgeon General Hamilton

to be the hostility by DR.. John S. Billings,

Hamilton. Is the grudge based upon the
fact that Hamilton knocked out" the

A NEW YORK manufacturer, Alfred
Dodge, of Dolgeville, has announced q
novel plan which he has adopted to help
his m%eritOriOus wOrkmen. 1t is to set
aside a certain portion of the net earn
ings OF the business for pensions, life
insurance and endowments. After ten
years service every employee is entitled,
in case of inability to work, to a pension
of 80 per cent. of his former wages.
while the man who has been in the es-
Enlistment twenty-five years is to have
a pension equal to his wages. The pen
sion for partial disability is arranged in
proportion to the extent of the inability
to labor. The endowment commences
with men who have been employed five
years, and each is credited annually
with q share of the net earnings pro-
pOrtionate to his wages, the accumula-
tions of which are. paid at the age of
sixty, or to his heirs in the event of
death. MIR. Dodge thinks this plan pref
cradle to proft-sharing, because it
makes a distinction in favor of the in
dustriOus and efficient.

runs as Senators and Representa-
tives they could have paralyzed
the government, while armed rebels
could have laid waste the North. If the
policy which Mr.. Carlisle and his asso-
ciates have inaugurated in the House.
and which the Democratic and mug
wump press sustains to-day, had been
pursued by the Democrats elected to the
House in 1860, and the Democrats who
were members of the Senate in 1861, the
C~Onfederacy might have been in ex-
istence-unless the then Speaker, Mr..
Grow, had ruled as has Mr.. Reed. In
the event he did not, one secession
Democrat in the Senate or House would
have been worth a brigade of troops in
the field.

THE OONFBDERATE'S REGRET.

There are doubtless quite a number of
men in the South who yet mourn the
failure of the secessiOnists to make the
confederate government a permanent
institution. To those last-dltch mourn
ers of the lost cause who are intelligent,
the thought must come, when they see
the force of the revolutionary tactics of
the Democrats in the House, that they
could have won if the Democratic Con-
gressmen i'm their day had been as wise
as the Bynums and Springers are to-day
provided a man was in the Speakers
chair who, bound by p~recedents, would
have ruled that members may be pres
ent and not be counted for a quorum. In
both the Senate and the House which
counted the electoral vote which made
Abraham Lincoln President, the Repub-
licans we're not a majority. Suppose
the Democrats had discovered the
potency of breaking a quorum, and had
broken q quorum when the two Houses
met to count that vote-cOuld they not
have prevented the declaration of the
election of Lincolnl And later, in the
Congress which came in with Lincoln,
the Democrats of the South, if they had
retained their seats in the Senate, could
have controlled that body by at least
breaking quorums, while in the House
they could have prevented legislation
by the same course if they had fought
the Union and the government by re-
tanning their seats and refusing to vote.
They could have done this, while the
secessionists could have raised armies
and won victories in the field. By OBJ
structing legislation in breaking quOIums
they could have prevented the voting
of a dollar to equip armies and
support them. By breaking quo

WITHOUT EXCUSE.

No election case was pending in the
House on Tuesday, and there was no
indication of any attempt to act upon a
strictly political subject; nevertheless,
the Democrats kept up their dilatory
tactics. They insisted upon the reading
of the whole of the journal. MIR.
Springer, who seems to be competing
with Mr.. Bynum, made an entirely un-
necessary motion, on which the yeas
and nays were called, simply to waste
time. 1t may be said that Mr.. Springer
acted upon his own responsibility, as he
is recognized as a party leader
when n matter of moment is to be
considered. The Speaker began to lay
before the House bills which the Senate
had passed, and to refer them in the
usual manner, when another states
man of the mouth order moved
to refer a certain bill to a
different committee than the natural
one. Then Springer, for the sole pur-
pose of delay. demanded the reading of
the bill. He had a printed copy on his
file or on his desk, but he wanted to
waste the time of the House, for which
the country is paying. After the read
ing, the vote was taken on BANDS mo-
ton and again the Democrats refused
to vote. Then Mr.. Flower moved to re-
fer the bill to another committee, and
upon his motion the roll was called
again. The motion was then made to
refer this nOn-partisan bill to the COM
mittee that the Speaker first named.
Pending the previous question, another
motion was made to adjourn, which the
Speaker refused to entertain, because,
in his judgment, it was made to prevent
action. On the demand for the previOus
question, the Democrats did not vote,
but finally the bill was referred, after
an all-day struggle involving five roll
calls, which take nearly an hour each.
All this Over the reference of a bill which
the Senate had passed without "a roll
call, and which it is probable will be
passed by the House without serious OPP
position. What do the Democrats mean
by that sort of proceeding? Are they
determined to resist ali attempts to
legislate?
