The Hidden Grief.
O, think not that because my tango
Kings out so wild and tree,
That frowning fate hath never tilled
'fa bitter cup for me;
Nor though the song is warbled forth
In tones of glad delight,
There never mingled with its notes
Of joy, a .- traiii less light.
Though now I trend the lighted hall,
Or breathe the thrilling lay;
O, how 1 once have turned from all
In weariness away";
And deemed not then the dazzling world
< >ne single charm could bring,
To lure me to its h units again,
A sad and blighted thing.
liul I have schooled the lieart tu hide
Its load of grief and care ;
The bursting thoughts to melt in song,
The lips a smile to wear
When all beneath is one sad wreck
Of hopes in happier hours;
The vase that holds the withered Laves,
Once redoleut with (lowers.
O, even when the festive wreath
Is twined around my brow,
And passion's tones are softly blent
With many a low breathed vow,
Though all unheeded as they fall,
Without an answering thrill,
The memory of one magic voice
Will vainly haunt me still.
" I believe I must examine you a little, first,"
T said ; lor I had a curiosity to see how much
I the fellow really knew.

Mr. Howard—Take your own time.
Mr. Douglas, quickly—" 1 understand that
game. Take your own time." The Senator from
Massachusetts took his own lime to write and
' circulate a libel on me about the time the Nebras-ka
bill was reported. 1 understood my colleague
to say that he came here a Democrat. That will
he news to the Democracy ol LUiouis, and is a li-bel
on the Democracy of that Stale.
Mr. Crittcndcii here interposed, saying that the
' debate was transcending the rules ol decorum.—
The Senator had charged a libel OU Mr. '1 rumbull.

Mr. Douglas—I should have been better satis-fied
if the Senator from Kentucky had, when the
Black Republicans denounced us in coarse terms
