ALOWE. 1 nissyon my darling, my darling, ''he.eiqers burn low on the hearth; A d stilled is the stir of the household, And hushed is the voice of Its mirth; 'Ihe rain plashes fast- on the terrace, The winds past the lattices moan; The, midnight chimes out from the And I am alone., I want you, my larling, my darling; I am tired with care and with fIer; I would 'nestle in sileh6e beside you, And all but presence forget, In the husl of the happiness given To those, who through trusting have grown To the fiilness of love in contentment. But I ath alone. I call you, jny darling. my darling. My voice echoes back on my heart; I stretch my arin to you longing, And lo! they fall empty, apart. I whisper the sweet words you taught I .me, The winds that we only have known, Till the blank of the durmb air is bitter, For I am alone. I need you, my darling, my darling, With its yearningC my very heart aches; The load that divides us weighs harder; I shrink from the jar that it makes. Old sorrows rise uip to beset me; Old doubts make my spirit their own. Oh, come through thle darkness and save me, For I am alone. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 20th, 1884. "I declare there's about half a wagon load of dust and old paper," said one of the Attendants of the House the other evening, as he threw. himself back in one of the chairs and contemplated the rows of empty seats. "Some of the members are awfully disorderly. Underneath their desks is piled up in disorderly heaps huge masses of bills, books, records,.old papers and what not. Some of the desks are fearful to contemplate. But inside it's worse. Lift up the lids and it is as if a pile of promiscu ous papers had been (dumped in for the rats to make nests of. And then the floor ! It is covered with scraps of paper, old bills and cigar stumps." "Some of the mernhers, howvev er," he a4ded, his eyes resting on two seats on the repuiblcan side. "Some members are very neat and fastidious. For instance, 1*. Kean, of New .Jersey, and~ Mr. William Walter Ph'elps. They are two of the neat est men in the. House. They oc cupy those two seats, and.yo n ev er see a scrap of paper or any lit ter anywhere about them. Kasson is very neat too, and so is Morris on. Randall never leaves any pa pers in his desk at all, lHe leaves it clear of everything, doing all hiss writing and the like in his cominittee room. A bout the only other men who are r4markably or .darly about their desks am'e Har mer, Hiscock, ( Chase, - Spooner, Rockwell, Jones and Mills, of Tex as.' Carlisle, when he occupied a desk, always kept it-16i oirter. Ly man, who is a very neat man in his appearAnoe,. leaves Ahis papers 011-mixed upi Reed is p erobaly worse, and Townsend and Le Fevre are about eyen with him. These, together with Belford, M ler, of Pennsylvania, Firheton and Van. aton, are the most distin guished advocates of disorder, their desks all being in sucih a condition that they can't find any thing in them. "Rankin, Belmont and Muldrow never sit in their own seats, while, on the contrary, E. B. Taylor, Barr and Mutchler are to be. found at theirs almost all the time. Kel Jogg and Belmont are not general ly to be found anywhere about the Capitol. Kelley is generally at his desk or in the ways and means committee room, and is very order ly, always fussing with the page for not being prompt and neat enough. Morrison divides his time equally between his disk and the.ways and means committee room, Randall is at his desk only when there is something before the House that requires his atten tion, which happens very frequent ly, but at other times is hard at work in his committee room exam ining bills or attending to his ex tensive correspondence. Hol man and McMillan are at their desks nearly all the time. - -'Yes, its kind of curious to watch the peculiarities of all the members, but all here, together with their papers and cigars, they make a ter rible litter before night." The joint commission to arrange for the ceremonies to be author ized upon the completion of the Washington monument met this morning and organized by electing Senator Sherman, Chairman, Mr. E. J. Babcock, secretary, and Mr. F. L. Harvey, assistant secretary. A committee of five was appointed to take charge of the preliminary works of the commission and take such steps as may be necessary during the Summer and Autumn. The committee will report to the commission next December. It is proposed to invite the governors of all the States (who are ex ofl cio vicc-presidenits of the monu ment association ),military and ci - vil organizations and the public at' large, to take a part in the ceremo nies. Organization dlesiring to come as such, and making known their purpose, will be specially in vited. The invitations will issue next December. -The dedication of the monument is to take place; on the 22nd of next February. AUGUST. -"Promise me, Elbert,*' said she, as she fastened a rose in his buttonhole, "that you will wear this till it withers and dies." "I will, indeed," was the "reply ; "I will wear this rose if I don't wear anything else.'' Somehow they both blushed and went their re spective ways. -There scarce can be named one quality tha~t is amiable in a woman which is not becoming in a man, not excepting even modes ty and gentleness of nature. ~-The main strength and force of a law consist in the penalty an nexad~ in it.
