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 !

A W Transplanted from the French ttemtnf 'o*l The Chief Justice orders the Galleries Cleared mul the Crowd refute to tjo — Senators hissed and hoot 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— c thled »i'b ; a' which tti>r'' » as ate ther volley of bi-sns and a L w more buntings and the scene Im ked more feveiu ionnrv th’D ever. Meantime, iu the corridor a few hundred of the >j ct<d bad form, od iuto » crowd and commenced singing “Old G imen is d’ ad, that po. r uld man.” Toey w-re Joined by tbe ladies with with ffre; t glee. Between tbe verses the 1 wa Senator wa- liberally and ma liciously cursed and damned as a traitor 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 t siait bem in tbe pr senoe of the high C' urt, but then a deputy 8 rgeant.

The picrere could scarce ly be over drawn, for nothing 1 ke it for i decency h s over been witnessed be fore 8 one si v- n years sgi, when Sen' ator Andrew Johnson made a Union speech iu reply t” Mr Laoe, es Oregon, and the galleries delii erately rose and gave nine cheers for the Union and the fl -g ; Vice President Br< ckinridge caus* ed them to be cleared. There was no disorder attending the execution of that order, and since then, until to-day, no such order has been executed. Good Maxims.—Ptr-evere against discouragements. K'epynur temper.
