TO A DIAMOND.

Thou thing of beauty, with soul Of frel
In some old eastern harem long ago
Didst thou adorn the favorite's hand Of snowf
Or did some dark Egyptian queen desire
Thy brilliant flash along her stringed Tyre,
While her low lidded gaze swept proud and slow
The valley where the Niles deep waters 6ow7
Or did some harlot Of thy beauty treP
It matters not. Swart queens have come and gone;
Harlots have triumphed-and have been forgot,
The rose of power has withersd on the vinel
Yet oh, most beautiful it Is thy lot
In radiant splendor to go flashing on
In beauty deathless and in light divinel

ruRN YouR EAcg ro nae LIGHT.

WAen the first flush of morn. Natures slumbets
surprising,
Uplifts the dark veil from the brow of the
night;
When the day star llumines the east at his rising
The Weakening world thrills anew with delight,
And the Spirit Of Birth
Ger the quickening earth,
From the SUBMITS bright glow
To the foothills below,
stirs Natures great heart with its light.
Though It be but rift in the stormclouds around
you,
The CLEAN of star in the darkness Of night,
Or the ray from a hope which in passing has
found you,
The soft afterglow Of the years in their flight;
Though it be but thought
Which a sunbeam has caught
Or smile, indebted,
In the eyes OF a child,
Yet turn your face TO its light.

Washington, March 25.-After a brief
and spirited debate the house Satur-
day took the last congressional step in
completing the Porto Rico relief bill,
agreeing to the conference report by a
vote of l3a TO 81. The bill turns over to
the president for the use of Porto Rico
about $2,Q00,000 of customs receipts col
lected on Porto Rican. goods up to Jan.
l last. and such amounts as may here
after accrue until otherwise provided by
law. The debate lasted but an hour,
but in this time. the whole range of Por-
to Rico legislation was discussed. An
important bill passed during the day ap-
propriates $4,000 for designs for, a
suitable memorial in Washington to
Ulysses S. Grant, this being the first
step in movement to secure an arch
similar to the arch of 'sTriumph" in
Paris, commemorating the illustrious sol
dier-statesman. A resolution was pass
ed asking the secretary of state for in
formation on the .'open door" negotia-
