/, who till now, but little knew,
OF loves resistless force, and so,
Time saw our friendship warmer grow,
And softer sentiments inspire,
Such as are born of loves desire;
In word and glance. in touch and sigh,
All working out our destiny.
Sweet teacher, in loves gentle school,
Whose lessons are not taught by rule,
How soon proved a pupil apt
How soon with her became enrapt;
And when said 81 never knew
What true love is till l loved you,'
She gave me her sweet kiss and signs
The glowing loye-light Of her eyes,
And leaned her heart close to my heart,
So close felt they could not part!
And now love burned with ardent fame,
Until the time another came,
Who crossed the unpropitious seas,
To crush, alas! my ecstasies.
He was manly brow and form,
With face imbrowned by sun and storm
But when l saw her on his breast,
Her round, white arms about him prest
Twas then my heart in anguish crie0,
"Behold, how soon her love hath died -
Still held within his strong embrace,
She turned to me with beaming face
"rhis ISL said she, "my brother Jack,
Come help me give him welcome back.
We have no story, dear to tell;
l wrote him and he knows it welln'
And this was all? Nay! jealousy
Was dead forever now in me,
Since once it caused my heart to lie,
In thinking her sweet love could die

DIXON II. LEWIS.

Mr. Dixon H. Lewis, from Ala
bama, was in Congress from 1929 to
1S43, and afterwards four years in
the Senate up to his death. He was
probably The largest man that ever
graced the halls OF Congress. A
chair for his especial use had to be
made, and few public conveyances
could accommodate him. He was a
man Of first rate talents, a forcible
speaker, a sound lawyer, and close
reasoner. Amiable and generous to
a fault, he was sensitive in regard to
his enormous size, which undoubt-
eddy shortened his life. Once, on
his return from Washington, The
steamer in which he was passenger,
was wrecked. The small boat was
ordered out, but lie refused to enter
it, fearing that his great weight
would endanger the lives of others.
After they we're landed he was res
cued, but for time he WIS in great
danger.
