Mats Was Not .Hade to Motiru
There is a voioe which haunts me still,
Where’er on earth I be ;
In lonely v ile, on lof’y hill,
-And on the distant sea.
I hear it in the silent pight,
And at the broak of morn;
And aye it crieth—dark or light
Man was not made to mourn !
In every stream thst seaward flows.
That voice salutes mine ear •
In every wind that round r,e blows.
Its thrilling notes I hear ; 1
In every Bound of Nature's heart,
The cheerful or forlorn.
This ever bears the better part—
Man vas not made to mourn !
The sun that glades the summer noon,
The light that blesseth all,
The myiiad stars, the quiet moon,
The showers from heaven that fall,
The flowers which in oar meadows grow,
Our mountain paths adorn,
All, all in their beauty show,
Man was not made to mourn I
All nature cries aloud, but man
Regards not Naiare’s voioe ;
Preventeth her benignant plan,
Her workmanship destroys;
From her fair book the brightest page
With impious hands has torn—
Yet st‘ll she cries, from age to age,
Man was not made to mourn !
O, gentle mother ! may tbv child,
Ere long thy lesson read ;
Embrace thy precepts, loving, mild,
Tby fraternising creed;
Then shall ihe blessed end bo known
For which fce has been born ;
And all shall feel, from zone to zone,
Jfan was not made to mourn !

ed—An old Musical Entertainment in
the Corridert-
The Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial furnishes the
following graphic description of the
soeoe which occurred in the Senate at
the conclusion of Mr Bingham’s speech
on the 6th inst.,in the closing senten
ces of which “ho used such warmth of
language and sit per as to create a
groat, sensation in the 8 nate chamber,
and more than ever 'o tempt demonstra
tions us ap,,lau-e ”
“After Mr. Bingham took his seat,
Senator Wilsou rose to submit a motion
that the Senate retire for consultation.
He had scarcely time to address the
Chair when, to the right of the Chair,
in the gentlemen's gallery, a few spec
tators commenced to etamp their feet
and clap their hands iu approval of Mr
Bingham’s speech. It was promptly
suppressed by the Chief Justice, but it
very quickly spread through the entire
galleries, increasing in violence as it
went round, until it amounted to a die.
orderly uproar. Even the ladies were
quick to catch the cogitation, and gave
vent to their enthusiasm as earnestly as
those of the other sex.
The Chief Justice rapped when it
wss too late. He might as well have
tried to extiDgnish a prairie fire with
a syringe; when he rose from bis seat
aod cried “order !” with all the voice
be could put into the word, he was only
laughed it ; and for v.ry spite hund
reds who had remain'd silent till then
j dried in the demone’ra ion, and made
the Sna e Chamti r a bedlam S itne
stood up while th*y clapp. and their hands,
and others kept 'heir sea s that they
rutty be enabled to u e both hat ds aud
leet in the upr ar.
Wh let' O’ oi.-e was at its loudest,
the Chief Jus'iee. in an angry tone, or
dered the Sergeant st-Auis tn clear the
galleries, tu it wss mnij'f at hat with
ui 'be consent of the ■ ff nders, the nr
d'r c old uot be executed. A lew crii and
ut, “II can’t do it, be hasn’t oieo
enough ;we won’t go ;’ and there were
indications for a ime that they meant
what th y said, and were determined
Dot. to be put out The door keepers
attempted to <nf rue the orde r by an
nouncing it. but th.y f. ur.d th*e crowd
very sl< w to move. The Senators be
gan to get alarnud, for really the scene
began to sm < k of the French rev- lu
tion, wl t*n the crowd uaed to overawe
tb" National Assembly.
Mr. Grimes rngrily asked, af'er sur
veying the scene, why the order was
not enforced forthwith, to which the
Chief Justice, whs seemed to be ge’ting
quire pervou«, re pled that it certainly
would be enforced. A volley of hisses
for Grimes came next, and that, too,
from the m >st re-pectabie part of the
gaileries Many a finely dressed lady
contributed to them. An attempt, was
made to get a more violent it suit in
the way if a loud ‘bib,’ and some boot
ings were heard such as the rabble some
times deal out to stump speakers they
don’t like.
Mr. Trumbu’ quickly came >o the re
lief of Mr. Grinivs, with a motion that
tbe ( ffenders be arrested, as well ss tbe
galleries cleared.
“I would like to see you do it !’’—
shouted several of the tetiriug i ff, nd
ers in reply.
“The galleries were by this time
about half cleared, but uot because of
the order of the Chief Justice. It got
out that tho court was about to retire,
or adjourn, and those who bad left bad
done so üßder this impression Sud
denly a few men criid out: “Hold on !
They ain’t going to adjouro I Let us
see this thing out !’ Then came a bait,
and hundreds took their sea's again,
with tbe utmost unconcern, and totally
indifferent to tbe order for their ejec
tion.
Mr Cameron, amid the din and con
fusion, rose to hope that th« gilltTeie
would not, be cleared. He did not be
lieve it fair to punish ail fur tho iff n
re of some, and hoped none hu’ tha-e
who hud in ide the demons'ra t>u would
b-' put out.
Messrs. Fr sset'den and J boson
hsrply rn 11. and Mr. Cimer n to order,
od in-i-t and 'hit the clearance bo pro—

“Old G imen is d’ ad, that po. r uld
man.”

snd s Copperfcesd One man attempt
ed to make a speech against Grimes
and the other renegades, but. the ‘umult
was too great for him, and all around
him were too much interest’d in the
song, which was thought to be peculiar
ly appropriate and piquant. “Will the
ladies help us to sing ?’ said one. “Cer
tsiuly they will,” said another, and so
they did.
While this extraordinary scene was
taken plsce in the onrriders, and wi:h
in the hearing of the high c >urt of im
peachment, Senati rs were wondering
what still kept the galleries at. lca«t half
full Mr. Shertnau attempted to solve
the mystery by suggesting to the Chief
Justice that p”rha|c< those that remain- |
ed in the gailt ri-s did cot. understand
the nature of the order The Chief Jus
tice repeated the order for tbiir benefit,
and again instructed the Sergeant at-
Arms to enforce it, which he, with the
aid of sll the Capitol employees he
0"uld find, proceeded at onee to do.
The reporters were the last tnd mort
reluctant to obey. They insisted they
bad committed no off nee, and ought
not tb be interfered with. A few of
them shouted to Senatorisl friends to
know if they too, must go. They re
ceived in reply, which they construed
affirmatively, and which they responded
to with a loud groan, and a muttering
comment that this was a “ of a way.*
The Tribune onrresp mdrnt pr'tested
that the loyal press ought to pitch into
Grimes. The Times man swore like a
trooper, while about twenty, who had
smuggled themselves into the galh ry
with the Heiald reporters, joined in a
most unearthly and fiendish moan, sup
plemented with the remark from one of
them that he “wished s me fellow would
put ab’ x ’ f nitro-glyeerene under the
court t iid explode it.’ One of the fourth
’ s'ate insisted on three groans for
Grimes and Trumbull, and was about

high C' urt, but then a deputy 8 rgeant. I

and the galleries delii erately rose and

disorder attending the execution of that
order, and since then, until to-day, no
such order has been executed.

Eager Beer.

I have finally ruin tew the "ennclu •
siou that lager beer «s a beversgo is mt
iotexicatiug.
I l ave bin told so by a german wh"
said ho had drunk it awl mte long, just
to try the oxtieritn-ot, and was ob iged
tu go home entirely r> hi r in the no rn

that this mao kept a lag'r beer saloon,

glasses of lager be rin my life, and
that made my fatd ■ ntwist as tt.ouvh it

that nite. My wi e t’tot tl.at i wa- g iu
to die, and t was afraid that i shcutuii’t
for it did seem as everything i had ever

If lager beer is not intoxicating, i:
used mo mos, almighty mean, that I
know.
Still i hardly think tbit )age r beer if
intoxicating, for i have b en told so; an’
lam probably tbe only roan living who
ever drank euny when his life was Dot
plump.
I don’t want to say anything agaio a
barmle-s temperenae bevridge, but if i
ever drink any more, it will be with my
hands tied behind me, and my mouth
pried open.
I duu’i think lager beer is iutoxics

it tastes to me like a g ass of soap suds,

A Wuhan’s Fkixndßhip —lt is u
wonderous advantage to a man, in (ve
ry pursuit or avocation, to secure an ad
viser in a sensible woman. Iu a wo
man there is at once a subtle delicacy
of fact, and a plain soundness of judge
ment which are rarely cimbioed to M
qctil degree iu man- A woman, if
she be really your fri*nd, will haven
"ensitive regard for your ebaraoter, hon
or, repute. She never onuosel* yon to
do an imprudent thing. A mao's bool
female friend is a wife of good sense
and besrt, whom he loves, and who lovsn
him. But supposing tbe man to bo
without such a helpmate, female friend
ship he muat still have, or his intelleet
will be without a garden and there will
be many an unheeded gap, even in itm
“trongeat fence. Bettor and safer, of
course, are such friend-hips where dis
parity of years or circumstances pats
'he idea of love out es the question—
Middle life has rarely this advantage ;
yi'Otb and o and sge have. We may havo
f> male frier dshirs with those mneb old

selves. Female friendships are to n
man the bulwark, sweetness, ornament
of hia existence.
