THE SILENCE OF LOVE.

Oh, inexpressible as sweet,
Love takes my voice away.
cannot tell thee when we meet
What most long to say.
But hadst thou hearing in thy heart
To know what beats in mine
Then shouldst thou walk, where'er thou art,
In melodies divine,
So warbling birds lift higher notes
Than to our ears belong.
The music fills their throbbing throats,
But silence steals the song.

A few days before the adjournment OF

short speech upon that question. Ny time

notice the report made I'm your paper

that the Republican paper Of my county

condemned the sentiment.
By that report / was made 10 say that
I had mo sympathy for a man who could
not read and write. and he ought not
TO be allowed 10 vote" That was not
my language. The following is the sub
stance. II not the exact words used. by
me on that occasion: "There Is no ex-
cuse for any one who has been reared
since the war, with all the provision
for education. not knowing how TO read
and write; and I'm fact, there Is no
sufficient excuse for any man not know
ing how TO read and write. no matter
where he was reared. II his environ

him OF from all educational advantages.
when he came TO manhood, when he
would be master OF himself. he could,
by application, IN a very short time learn
TO read and write, and he could always
find persons not only willing. but who
would take pleasure In assisting him"

ferred 10, giving the substance Of what
I said. as above, and would have written
to your paper but for sickness and pres
sure OF business. ] do not write I'm a
