BY OLtVF.B WKKVELt HOLME. : I. Fallen with autumn's fulling leaf Ere yet his summer's noon was past. Our friend, our guide, our trusted chief What words can mart h a woe so vast. And whose the charted claim to speak The sacred grief where all have part, When sorrow saddens every cheex And broods in every aching heart; Yet Xature prompts tha burning phrase That thrills the hushed and shrouded hall The loud lament, the sorrowing praise, The silent tear that love lets falL In loftiest verse, in lowliest rhyme Khali strive unblainied theminstrel choir The singers of the new-born rhyme. And tremblirfg age with outworn lyro. Ko room for pride, no place for blame We fling our blossoms on the grave, Pale scentless faded all we claim. This only what we lutd we gave. Ah ! could the grief of all who mourn Wend in one voice its bitter cry. The wail to ueaven's high arches home Would echo the cavcmetl sky. II. 0 happiest land whose peaceful choice. Kills with a breath its empty throne ! God, speaking throught the people voice. Has made that voice for once His own. No angry passion shakes the State Whose weary servant seeks for rest ; And who cotild fear that scowling hute Would strike at that unguarded breast ? He stands, unconscious of his doom," In manly strcnjrth, erect, serene ; Around him summer spreads her bloom He falls what horror clothes the scene? How swift the sudden flash of woe Where all was bright as childhood's dream! As if from heaven's ethereal bow Had leaped the lightning's arrowy gleam. Hlot the fottl deed from history's puge, Let not the all-betraying sun Hlush for tlie day that stains an age When murder's blackest wreath was won. III. Pale on his couch the suiTcrcr lies. The weary battle-ground pf pain ; Love tends his pillow. Science tries Her every art, alas ! in vain. Tlie strife endures, how long ! how long ! Life, death, seem balanced in the scale. While round his bed a viewless throng Awaits each morrow's changing tale. In realms the desert ocean parts, What myraids wateh with tear-filled eyes, His pulse-beats echoing in their hearts, His breathing counted w ith their sighs. Slowly the stores of Lie are spent, Yet hope still battles with despair- Will Heaven not yield when knees are bent? Answer, O Tbt.u that hearest prayer ! But silent is the brazen sky On sweeps ti e meteor's threatening train Unswerving nature's mute reply, Bound in adamantine chain. Xot ours the verdict to decide, Whom death shall claim or skill shall save ; The hero's life though Heaven denied It gave our land a martyr's grave. Xor count the teaching vainly sent How human hearts their griefs may share. The lesson woman's love has lent What hope may do, what faith may bear ! Farewell! the leaf-strown earth enfolds Our stay, our pride, our hopes, our fears, And antnmn's golden son be beholds A nation bowed, a world in tears. A CAXCFXED DKBT. "See, Vincent, I found this mem orandum amonea package of Grand ma's letters. It must have gotten there by accident." Vincent Tracy took the paper yellow with age, and glanced over it Then he handed it back to his sister, saying : ''It was just like grandmother. When she did good it was in that unostentatious way. Her right hand had sever knew what her left hand had given forth. I wish we might find a friend like her." ."So do I," said Gertrude, with a sober look on her pretty face. "How little she thought that even the sum mentioned in this" holding up the faintly traced lines and running her eyes over them mechanically 'would be a comparative fortune to us." "I am glad the kind oldsoul was taken home before the losses came. We are young and can bear disap pointment, and can struggle to make our own way in the world. But our mother would have felt the difference keenly." "I don't quite understand how such a large fortune could melt so suddenly. Do you, Vincent? Has some on cheated us?" "No. Gertie. It was all because of the way the money was invested. Lawyer Grey advised that it should be taken from the bank and put into insurance stocks. Then came those fires in Chicago and afterward in Boston, andfsome of the best companies burst up. Our money went with them Say," Gertrude," as a though struck him, "let us try and find who it was that grand mother meant by those initials. If he was smart he may have made a fortune out of her loan, and might be willing to give us back what he borrowed. Four thousand dollars would just enable me to finish my law studies, and would give you the 1st year at madam's. Then we'd both have our diplomas, and might shake our fists in the face of the world before we begin to wrest our living from it" Gertrude smiled at Vincent's boy ish speech, as she said quietly: ''Wouldn't it be better to coax fortune instead of to drive her?" "That depends on circumstances. Women, of course, have to be silkey and smooth-faced to get along." "And men have to ape their beards, and be rough. Is that tbe idea, brother mine ?" Vincent laughed. "That'B it, sis, exactly, but let me have another look at that paper." He took it in his hand and read aloud: "Lent B, V. Z. to-day four thous and dollars, which I drew from the bank for that purpose. I did not require a cote, as I am old and may be cJled suddenly,, and would not press him for payment until ready to make it I have perfect confi dence in his honesty; and am sure he will return it at some future set EST-ABLISpiSD, 1827. time if possible. If not, and his pre vious bad fortune follows him in his new venture he is about to make, I can afford to lose the money and he is welcome to it." The date appended was twenty years previous, ana Vincent was only eighteen, while his sister was two years youngcrjt the loan had been made previous to their births, Mrs. Graham's onty daughter had married and gone with her husband to India. Ten years had elapsed before children hadr been given to her arms, and so at the time the memoranda bore date there was every prospect that the race would die out with Mrs. Tracy! "If grandmother had know that she was to have us to leave her money to, she would have been more careful of it Don't you think so, Gertie I X "I don't know," answered Ger trude, thoughtfully. I "At anv rate I am glad she did as she did. I'm sure she has treasures laid up in the neht nlace." - v Vincent's minded one; He was in a brown study about something. Then he said: . " "Sis, your arc very handy at com posing. Now just' put vour wits to work, and write in article relat ing to this a sort of blind one, you know. Say that 15. V. 'L, or his heirs if living, will hear some thing to their advantage by commu nicating with V. T., No: with the heirs of 15. B. " "You mistake, Vincent It would be to our advantage." 'Don't interrupt," said Vincent loftily. I look at it from the higher plain. Isn't it purer pleas ure to pay a just debt than to feel that perhaps one has defrauded an orphan?" "But if one knows nothing about it? If the person grandma loaned it is dead, would his children feel glad to hear of such a large debt ? iou know that it was twenty vears ago that this happened." Vincent looked slightly discom forted at this view af the subject But Gertrude, seeing that she had the best of the argument, was mag nanimous, and she did not follow up her victory. She took up a pen, and after a moment's thought. . wrote some thing on a sheet of note paper. Vincent took it lrom her and read : "If B. V. Z., or his or her heirs, know anything of a sum of money loaned a long time ago to B. V. Z.. (without any security but his prom ise to pav as soon ns he was able to do so), they will confer favor on the heirs ol 15. u., by communicating with them, at their convenience. Address V. T., Box 1181, P. 0." lhats all right . Gertie. Copy it right away, and I'll run to the ofiice with it" "Running won't harry the mail, Vincent, said GertnidepithilT. Dont tease, Gertie. Girli are not nice when they torment a fel low." uBut 'a fellow needs to be kept down a little, or he realizes too deeply that he is a so-called "Lord of creation,' you know, Vincent But you are better than most ; so I'll be your humble servant, and do as you say. And the girl Dent and touched her brother's forehead, with a bright smile, which atoned for her teas ing." The advertisement was duly in serted and for days and weeks the two studied the columns of the daily paper, hoping for an answer. But none came, and at last in the pres sure of newly assumed duties, all thought of it faded gradually out of their minds. Vincent had found a position in a store, and Gerturde had gone back to hersjchool as a pupil teach er, so as to finish the nearly com pleted course of study which had been interrupted by her kind grandmother's death, and the loss ot fortune which had so speedily followed it . Time passed on, and Gertrude was graduated at the head of her class, carrying ofF high honors. She was at once offered a position in madam's school at a good salary. She accepted with a glad heart Now she could help Vincent to carry out his heart's deare.t wish, as her only expenses would be for her clothing and she could appropriate the moft of her earnings toward paying for his tuition at the law school. "Wait, Gertie," said Vincent, ' clearing his throat of a lump which had come into it as he had listened to her unselfish offer,) "until I get a start It's your turn now, but mine will come if industry and per severance can compass it; then we'll see." "I have no doubt vou will cet me a coach and four in," said Ger trude with a slight touch of her old mischief lurking about her lips and eyes ; but she sobered down at once and added seriously : "Love me always as well as you do now, and continue to be the same steady, good pricipled boy, and I shall be the happiest, most contented sister in the whole world." . Spite of Vincent's twenty years and tall stature, Gertrude still called him a boy, and that name from her lips sounded in his ears like a music no other title could have carried with it " . With the lapse of two more twelve months Vincent had attained the first stepping-stone toward success. He has mastered the details of his chosen profession, had passed his examination, and his name was en rolled among those who were con sidered competent to unravel knot ty law points. Judge Lorrimer, a famous jurist, had taken a fancy to him, and ad mitted him to his office, ' first as clerk, then after a time as junior partner. He found his position no sinecure, but he worked unweariedly on, feeling no effort too great thot would lead him on to fortune and fame. One day, while searching for some documents pertaining to an import ant case, he came upon some pa pers yellow with age, labeled "B. V. Z.'s Bonds." The conjunction of initials was such an unusual one, that Vincent's heart crave a sudden j bound. Surely he had come at last upon a ciue which would enable him to find the person to whom his grandmother had made the loan. As soon as he could guin Judge Lorrimer's ear he told him of his discovery, and his reason for being so much interested in it. Tho Judge listened with attention until Vincent had concluded his story. Then he said : "Even if your surmises are cor rect, my opinion is that you caD do nothing about it Mr. Zenningun has been dead many years, and his heirs are abroad. They were two grandchildren a boy and a girl and as their father's friends were in England, after their mother's death they were, as a matter of course, sent to their natural guardians. They must be grown up by this time." A client entering stopped the con versation, and it was not again re sumed. Some months after Judge Lorrimer invited Vincent to a din ner party. "Be sure and come and bring your sister with you." he said. "1 am expecting some pleasant friendn. and I would like you to meet them." It was quite an event in the lives of the brother and sister. Their daily duties allowed them but little recreation. So when it did come they enjoyed it all the more. Among all the guest gathered to gether within the judge's stately home, none looked fairer or sweeter than Gertrude Tracy in her dress of simple white, and her breast-knot of velvet-leaved, golden-eyed pansies. Vincent, too, compared favorably with any of the gentlemen present. Straight and broad shouldered, with an expression in his clear, dark eyes which told of a dauntless spirit and of a hopeful sunny nature, which i one of the most precious of gifts within fortune's power to be stow. He was seated at a table beside a young girl who was introduced to him us Miss Montague. As he glanced at her he could think of nothing but a modest white rose. She was of :t fairness of complexion, with a faint pink upon each dim pled cheek. Her eyes were as blue as forget-me-nots though their col or was rarely visible, so persistently did the white lids shut them in. At first she was very shy, but after a time Vincent succeeded in draw ing her out, and the two chatted away as confidentially as though ac quaintances of years instead of hours. Gertrude was equally well enter tained. Her vis-a-vis was a courtlv mannered youth, who had evident ly seen much of the world, and his descriptions of continental society half humorous, but without a touch ot malice held the girls pleased attention until the party broke up. - 1 he brother and sister were very silent as they went home, and strange to say neither questioned the other as to the cause of the unusur.I ab straction. But the truth was each was recalling the music of the pleas antly modulated voices which had so lately entranced their ears, or were seeing again in memory the witching glances of bright eyes. What was Vincent s surprise and pleasure, some davs later, when the judge came into the ofiice with the two young strangers, who were brother and sister, and mtrod need them again to his protege : but this time he added turning to Claude Montague : "Mr. Tracy is the voung man of whom I told you, Claude," and then Vincent found his hand token in a firm clasp, and heard earnest words of gratitude pouredfoith. Benjamin . Zennington was our grandfather, ' Mr. Tracy, antl once, when his fortunes were at an ebb so low that ruin stared him in the face, a noble-hearted friend gave i him help. e knew of this debt of gratitude, as in alter years he used to talk about it But we my sister and I were so young at the time of his death that the name of his ben efactress escaped our memories. So we have never canceled the debt." "Ami we can never, never repay it" said the soft voice of Blanche Montague; "lor money alone would be powerless to do so. All we have in the world is indirectly owing to your grandmother's assistance." As Vincent met the frank gaze of the 6oft blue eyes he thought how pleasant it would be to cancel any debt in that direction by asking for a very precous gilt herself. But as he did not put his ideas into words Blanche was none the wiser, although if eyes could have spoken his ardent look would have soon told his secret This discovery at once placed the young people on the sure footing of friendship and they were thrown to gether very often, as a matter of course ; and need I tell my discern ing reader that at last the heirs of Mrs. Graham and B. V. Zennington became joint possessors of both es tates by entering into that mystic alliance which is for better or for worse ? It is remarkable what little bites a woman takes when eating in the presence of her sweetheart. What a little mouth she has then ! But wait until washday comes. Watch her when she goes to hang up the clothes and gets in a hurry. By the time she nets the big ends of fifteen clothes-pi:i8 in that mouth, you will begin to think that it is pretty good sized, heary mouth, after all. We never saw anyone joyous when suffering from pain ; neural gia for instance. In relation to this malady Mr. George Guyett, Prop.

Senatorial Orator. David Davis, perhaps, more than any other Senator, indulges in man uscript, preparing even a five min ute speech with great care. This ia hid inflexible rule, and has been since he entered public life. After he delivers h'13 speeches, or rather after he reads them, he handi his manuscript to Mr. Murphy, the Sen ate stenographer, who sends it to the Government Printing Ofiice. The compositors never Lave any anathemas for the Judge's writing, which is large, distinct and full of character. Edmunds never uses notes, ami once a speech is out of his mouth be dosen't bother his head about it During all the years he has been in the Senate he has not revised a sin gle speech. He turns everything in his mind beforehand, antl never ris es to address the Senate without having weighed in the scales of his great mind what he intend to say. Ben Hill will speak for three hours without a ccrap of paper. The only preparation lie makes is mark ing references or passages in this book or that. I have seen him time and again thunder away for two hours without stopping eye n for a glass of water. He revises Lis speeches however ; makes additions and corrections in a clear hand, much like that of a college boy, and gives the printers little trouble with his proof. Hill has an astounding memory, and no man in public life, except Edmunds, has such inippr turtability. The only man who could well worry Hill or excite his wrath in debate was the late Matt Carpenter. How it tickled Carpen ter to put some adroit qui. -lion at the Georgian and get him confused ; a hard thing to do at any time, but Carpenter often succeeded. And it was more the result of an irresist able proensity for fun than any thing else, for never was man who hail less malice than Matt Carpenter. Another Senator who, like Ed munds, never revised a speech, was Thurman. Occasionally he spoke froni manuscript, but the stenogra pher took down every word he said, as the old gentleman would forget his manuscript and drift into extem porary eloquence. Thurman though never a graceful speaker, was always forcible, lie was beyond all doubt the ablest of the Democrats and their leader from the time he entered the Senate. Bayard works hard at his speech es and though he writes them out and follows his manuscript closely he revises after proof is taken. He makes few changes, however, but holds the. proof often until 2 o'clock in the morning, as he spends his eveningj generally in social circles. He is : good penman, writing a me dium sized running hand. Lamar is a great reviser, cuts proof into tatters, writes a horrible hand, and tries the soul ol a print er. Occasionally he goes down to the Government Printing Office to look after his speeches, which, when published, are vastly different from the stenographer's report of them. Senator Conkling seldom made a correction of his utterances in the Senate Chamber. He is perhaps the best extemporaneous speaker in the United States, and even his remarks in running debates arc splendid in dices of his great ability. During the extra session of the 1'orty-sixth Congress he delivered a speech on the Army Appropriation Bill with out note, papers, book, or reference of any kind. When the Vice Pres ident "announced "the Senator from New York," up rose the stately form of Roscoe Conkling. Never before or since had Senator such an audi ence. He spoke for four hours. Be fore the adjournment of the Senate 150,()0 copies of his speech- had been subscribed for. Every print ing establishment in Washington sent to the Senate its lowest estimate. In a very short time Oyster, one of the best living typos and foreman of the Congressional Record, had a proof of the great speech ready. He took it up to Wormley's about o'clock in the morning and asked for Senator Conkling. "He is not up ytt," said the private secretary ; "the Senator breakfasts about 1 1 ; however, as you are in a hurry and want to see after the speech, I shall call him." "Tell Mr. Oyster to come in ah ! how do you do, Mr. Oys ter?" and IiOrd Chesterfield never was more polite than was Senator Conkling in his nightshirt. After rubbing his eyes he looked at the proof, made a few changes and struck out the "Hon." before Uoscoe Conklipg. You will never find it prefixed to his name in any sieech intended for general distribution. After he received the speech he wrote his thanks, very kindly, to Foreman Oyster, as follows : United States Senate Chamdet:. May, 7, ISO!). Mv Dear Sir : I beg you to re ceive my thanks for the bound speech and for your kindness throuhout I am glad to have made your acquaintance and trust I may know you better in future. Cordially yours, Rosioe Coxklixo. E. W. Oyster, Esq. The present Secretary of State, when a member of the Senate, used to look carefully after his speeches, which for the most part, were made from "headlong?." Probably there never was in the United States Sen ate a man who needed less prepara ration than James G. Blaine. He is infalliable in history and impreg nable in debate. His memory of facts and faces is absolutely wonder ful. He can begin with William the Conqueror and give you the name of every sovereign of England down to Victoria, with the dates of their reigns. Now and then tho Senator would give his personal attention to the printing of a speech. One morn ing Oyster found him busily at work "cutting up copy" for the printers. "Hello, Oyster ! I'm ahead of you. See, I'm dividing copy." "Yes, Senator, I see you are ahead of mo ; but I went home only six hours ago, and I shill be here for sixteen consecutive hours." "Well, I know it's hard work, Oyster. I've been at it, and I know what night work means." Washington Republican. WHOLE NO. 15S2. Ol ll WASHINGTON IJ.TTKIt Fnin our special irrcprt !cnt. Washingtox, D. C, Oct. 22, 1S1. The President, Senate, Cabinet, foreign guests, army and naval offi cers, have been off on a patriotic pleasure excursion to Yorktown the greater part of the week. They took their accommodations with them, lived on the steamers and U. S. war vessels that took them down, and have, consequently, returned ampas bowpori. The military companies and host of non-oflicialexcursionists, ) who left Washington for Yorktown ! oui uiu not taKe tneir iiotew v. r.u them, and ncgiected to take suffi cient money to buy a hotel, have also returned, weary, bedraggled, sick and disgusted. I think it possible that you will know with certainty the composi tion of the new Cabinet before this reaches you, so I will not fill my let ter with the many clever guesses that are made on tins interesting subject But one thing is certain, the many statements that have been made are nothing more than guess es, and, while the sequel may show that some of the guesses were pro phetic, it cannot prove that the Pres ident did not keep his own counsel. Nor has any progress leen made in discovering what President's Ar thur's policy is to be. lie has prac ticed a reticence which is, to say the least, indicative of prudence, no in consequential cxecutve attribute. So far, he has made no abrupt de parture from the policy of his pre decessor. All the nominations pre pared by President Garfield, previ ous to his death, have been sent in and, and, so far as can be judged, his own appointments are of good men. It is expected that the new Cabi net nominations will Le confirmed and that tlie extra session of the Senate will have adjourneii by the 20th inst. After an interim of one month, the regular session will as semble. Various candidates for the sjieakersiiip are canvassed in oliti cal circles hero, prominent among whom are ex-Secretary of the Navy Robeson, ex-Minister to A'.:-'ria Kasson, Mr. Dunne!!, of Minnesota, Mr. Kiefer, of Ohio, and Mr. His cock, of New York. Mr. Ro!--on is the favorite in this city, from the fact that he has long liv .! h- re, has a large house, is very u-.iiHhy, and gives large, though seltv entertain ments. It has been remarked that are fewer oiiice-seekers in ton than is usual. Df'btle; fact that the President i ,;.vi private house, and is int.. -' ! there the : in a ;!'lCUlt of access than if he were in the White House has something to do with keeping this class away. They, however, will be here in force before the first Monday in December. The prizes of the patronage cf the two houses of Congress, to say nothing of the new Cabinet, will be an iri- sistable attraction to this rap '! , crowd. No doubt, th ere will be some very ial changes, antl, con- imhrr of minor im- important ollici scouentlv, a number ot minor inv poitance. When a high official, like Assistant Postmaster General Tyner, goes down, many parisitieal little crafts are swallowed in the vor tex.

Some interesting experiments have recently been undertaken by European scientists, to demonstrate the speed of thought along the vari ous nerves of the human bodv, and ; also the speed of several senses. Helmholtz has shown that a wave of though! would require about a minute to traverse a mile of nerve, and Hirsh found that a touch on the face was recognized by the brain, and responded to by a manual sig nal in the seventh of a second, lie also found that the speed of sense differed for different organs, the sense of hearing being responded to in a sixth of a second, while that of sight only required one-fifth of a second to be felt and signalled. In all these cases the distance traversed was about the same, so the inference is, that images travel more slowly than sounds and touch. It still re mained, however, to show the por tion of this interval taken up by the action of the brain. Prof. Dondeas, by a very delicate apparatus, has demonstrated this to be about .7"00 of a second. ( f the whole interval, .-ICXX) are occupied in the simple art oi recognition, anu .. lor tne m WB"B . act oi willing a response, w Men two irritants were caused to operate in the same sense, 1-2-3 of a second was required for the person to recognize which was the first, but a slightly longer interval was required to de termine the priority in the case of other senses. These results were obtained from a middle aged man ; but in youths the mental operations are somewhat quicker than in the adult. The average of many exper iments proved that a single thought occupies 1-40 of a second. Proof Kverywhorf .
