THE PENNYRoYAL HYMN.

With many an extra here and there and such
hearty end
The church was hlled with music up to the very
brim
When the chorus Joined the choir in that pen
nyroyal hymn.
The palsled organ creakcd and wheezed when
soaring up on G
And grumbled, groaned aud trembled down
along the depths of g..
But never falterng in its work, like a soldier
stad and grim,
1t started out to wrestle with q ponnyroyal
hymn.
The boys would swell tho rolling song to help
tie deacons out
But keen would be the ear that told just what
they sang about
But words were never noticed, for they sang
with mighty Vim.
30 their aid was very welcome in that penny
royal hymn.
Oh, would those days might come again. sweet
day 5 of long ago.

upon the walls Of an adjoining room had
to be taken into consideration as well.
Again and again did the paper hanger, who
tells the story, come out with his big rolls
of samples to the suburban house, only to
return with the matter undecided, as the
wife was sure to dislike what the husband
liked, and vice versa.
At length the husband had private in

Senator Hill Opposes n Resolution Of
fered by Stewart OF Nevada.

WAsnINGToN, Sept. 12-The senior SEN
ator from New York broke off yesterday
from his imputed alliance with the ex-
treme wing of the silver senators. Mr..
Stewart, of Nevada, offered resolution
for an inquiry into the fact of senators
being stockholders in national banks. Mr.
Hill opposed the resolution in n strong
speech as being unnecessary, unprece-
dented, and gross reflection on the SEN
ate. The resolution went over.
The bill for the repeal Of the purchasing
clause Of the Sherman law was taken up
and Mr. Pugh Dem, Ala }, member Of
the finance committee, made two and
half hour speech against It. The re-
mainder of the session was occupied in n
continuation of Mr. Telers speech against
the bill.
The session OF the house was brief 1t
was expected that report from the COM
mittee on accounts, announcing the COM
mlttees that were entitled to clerks, might
lead to an acrimonious debate, but owing
to the absence Of Mr.. Ruck the report was
not brought In. The colored representa-
tive from South Carolina, Mr. Murray, at

resolution appropriaring s200,0O0 for the
relief of the cyclone sufferers in the south,
