The following pleasing verses were never pub slied before their present appearance among the saubeams. They were written in Manchester, U., several years ago, for a beautiful young Trojan, by a distinguished member of the Ver mont bar, who inherited rare talent as a jury advocate, and only woou the muses semi-occa-r.onally and in secret. .V. Y. Sun. I. Tear lady, when I look at one So lovely and to loved as you, From wliose young life has. not yet gone The rose's blush, the morning's dew, I sigh to think otall the years Whose failing memories rise between This and the time, when long ago, I lost my heart to Svveet Sixteen. Prate as they may of wiser thought, 0 f cooler blood and steadier brain, Of earnest wisdom dearly bought By anxious care and deadening pain : In all the years Old Time can bring In all the longest life has seen. There are no hopes, no ioys, no loves, So sweet as those of Sweet Sixteen. in. And though the charm may wear away. As roses fade and dews exhale ; Though glossiest locks may tarn to pay, And fairest cheeks grow wan awl pale ; Vet who can doubt those dearly loved, In lands of mortal eye unseen Beyond the stars, shall all regain The an gel hues of Sweet Sixteen !

The Admi-sion of Arknniis TlIK NKW SOUTIIKHS STATE GOVKRXSIEMS. Vlt.WS OF SESVTOr. KliMU.MH. Mr. Edmunds prefaced his motion to re commit tho Arkansas bill, in the Senate the other day, with a statement of his v ievv s on the ipiestion of the immediate admission of the Southern States that have adopted new constitutions in compliance with the require ments of Congress- He took the ground that Congress lb clothed with plenary power to re organize the government of the late rebel states, upm such fundamental rejKiblican forms as it shall deem fit ; and he argued at length against the view of some, that the btnte governments, so re'-jnstmcted, cannot lie made to "stnyput." He asserted that the people of every single State in this Union liave time and again parted with rights which were the inherent and necessary faculties of sovereignty as it respected tlie private citi zens and corporations within their own limits, and he tpioted from decisions of the Supreme Court, delivered by Judge btory and others, holding that a state may bind itself in such compacts so that it cannot recede. This opinion did not find universal assent, amons the renuimcan senators, senator Conkling of New York, replying, at the close of Mr. Edmunds' speech, and denying flatly " tliat the history of the Government in any of its branches warrants the assertion that a condition such as is now before us fin reference to suffrage imposed by Con gress on a State, is autliorized or binding af ter the State assumes her statehood in tho Union." Our limits do not nllow us to quote Irom the debate, and wc can give only the closing portion of Mr. hdinunds remarks. He said : ,f ; ih firt nlace. a constU 11 L ria.c jiiuivcv'., .

The second section provides, as ii i ... c.. .i;,ninntmn in tlio renresenta- tiou of ft State when any part of its male inhab itants shall be uemeu me ngiu or uie cuvinv franchise ; and we all know that it was intended as the foundation safeguard of this whole ques tion of restoration. tVe nil know that it was eonsklered as of the most vital importance to the future welfare and prosperity of the whole coun try, as well as to social oruer m urc .. States, that that article should become a part of the Constitution of the L'uiteil States Ik.-ju-c then it would be above the temp mry ei. ite mcnts and chmges of party ; it would 'f Ky.m J the changes of administration; it w..uM U- Ikv vond all changes of policy; it vvoull v a ivean overthrow bv State authority in the K-ihtiei where it applied. It was regarded, and justly regarde.1, as th key which sluml! fu: illy lmld safe the great treasure if hU-rtj and i-mihty that wc hail wrung fn.m the reUI'.i- n I regard it so yet, not merely in tint ri-jicct, hut m the respect provided in the f urih - whuli i-' as follows : "The validity of the pu'mc deht of tliv tinted States, authorized hj Uw . inou ling 'hit- in curred for payment imi-. iu- mid 1.. .uu! i.-- fur services ui sappreBsiuK iBaurrectimi ur reMhoii, shall not be qnestioiwl.

Is it bad faith, in a matter of this grave importance, to say to these people when they have taken one of the steps that we require as a condition precedent, to wait until the other hall be taken also? I fail to see it. Now, my friend from Indiana inquires (and t hasten to that because I do not wUh to occupy time) where is the danger, where is the hazard of losing this constitutional amendment any more by letting this State in than by keeping her out I I will tell mv friend where it appears to be ; an 1 , .. . . ... -ii . .i t ii i.:m l irusi my inen.i win oeuevc me wucn x ten uuu that, if I know myself, I am as sincerely anxious to restore these people, and the other jieople of the South, to their primal relations to this Union as he is, or as any other bcntlcman on this Boor; but I am anxious, at the same time, to do it so that it will lie a restoration and remain a restor ation. My fear is this and I cmfess that it is not to my "mind a light fear 1 ln.pe it wi'.i not ha...ii that when the State of Arkansas, which is, perh.ip., a fair sample of all the others, ?&.!iall have been admitted to representation, at.d shall have then put on the full robes of statehool, as my friend from New York (Mr. Conkliug) very liappily expressed it the other day, the will have then become entirely free from the operation of our military government, she will lie no more the subject of military control, of military surveil lance or military "aid, than the State of Ycrmout or the State of Indiana is. Her only rightful aid in preserving the new institutions which she his set up against the opposition that we know exists there from those vvho have been in rebellion against the Government will be the aid and sup port that she gets froui the President of thefljni ted States. We all know that. My friend lfnows that, lly the Constitution and the exising laws the State of Arkansas will have no anchor to tie to and no rock to lean upon but that of Andrew Johnson, the President of the L'niteil States, the moment she ceases to lie in the condition she now is and becomes a State of the Union. It is, therefore, worth a little "hile to inquire :., uw.r, ,.C tl.o lrf.i.lint nf the ITni- ted States as it respects this State government tli.it e are about to set un in Arkansas. How does he feel toward it? What arc his views of its legality ? Sir, we are not left in the ilirk about it. We know that in his opinion the whole ,.rM.i.i..iinn is oYi.tji in the lnws of roUTJIUV Ul 1 1 .JlUl.nll.lll - . - Congress, is totally and grossly unconstitutional; and wc know tuat it is tne opinion oi many ocu i.:u iLii flmi lie )4fxti tluLt lie miii- set those laws at defiance with impunity that l...M .1,, Ti.ir.r in tin. lnnil tn imninh liim fnr tlllll 1. is J.""' . I it that there is no power in the land to hold him to the execution oi mem, so long as agung iu good faith, he believes he is doing his duty by undertaking to overturn them ! Now, therefore, whea the government of Ar kansas under this bill is set up, and the bill is passed over the veto of the President of the Uni ted States if he should still be of the opinion that he has been, that all this is unconstitutional and should act upon that opinion what will be the condition of affairs ?

To say that the question involved in this case is " whether the common schools must be heath en in order to be unsectarian" is not a fair statement of the controversy. The reading of the Iiihle in public schools of mixed religious faiths can do no good, and is very likely to do harm since it fosters a feeling of discontent among the Catholics, and gives a ground of complaint against the perfect freedom of our free schools that is calculated in time to narrow their influences for good among the people. So long as wc insist on the llible in our common schools of mixed faiths, we are not free from the suspicion of sectarian culture that is enough to irritate the Catholic unnecessarily into an atti tude of opposition to the very system of educa tion that we pride ourselves upon as one of the most precious privileges thit the foreigner is accorded in America. Catholics and Protestants both have their churches, their Sunday schools, their religious teachers, aHording ample opportunities for hear ing the Itible read and cxpounflail each accord ing to his own v ersn. Lament as wc may, the feeling which prompts the Catholic dislike to the reading of our version, wc cannot insist upon his submitting to its use, without falling short of tho perfect idea of a free public school. Tlie Catholic might with equal propriety ask that his version of tho scriptures lie read, as for the Pro testant to insist that the Catholic shall listen to the exclusive reading of our version. Tne pub lic reading of the Protestant Bible in our free schools seems to us out of plwe, and the largest public wisdom for the best interests cf these schools dictates its entire disuse. Burlinyton Times. The Times' point is not quite an clear as it might be. The first paragraph above reads as if our neighbor objected to the liible, as such, on the ground that it is a sectarian liook ; the last paragraph as a whole seems to indicate that the Timrs' objection is to a particular virsion of the Itible, or t i "the Protestant Iiihle; while from one sen tence it may perhaj he inferred that the ob jection is after all to the " fidum - read ing"' of a particular version. If the latter were all, we perliaps sliould not differ so widely from the Timrs. We certainly would not insist on the nrlustce reading of any particular version. We should bo willing that the Catholic teacher should read from tlie Douay version, and the Protestant teacher from King James' ver sion, as thev might prefer. Hut as the protes- tants send some children to our public schools, and may have some right to have their pre ference considered as w ell as the Catholics, wo would not consent to have " the pro tectant Iiihle" thrown wholly out of the schools, in order that the catholic version might even where take its place. PerhajiH it is not lair to suppose tliat our neighbor would l suited with that arrangement, though it objects, in term, only t. the pro testant ver-ion. Hut when it dines to throwing the Uible in any shape wholly out of the sch...K the ip-n-timi takes a different rhase We had supposed the llible to 1 n it a sectarian took but the . onier stone uf alt christian -oets.

During the evening service, liishop iiis-ell made a short but earnest address on the sub ject of missions ; he stated that bethought the very first th ng to be done after his oon eecration was to hold a missionary meeting. They had lcn held in other Dioceses, and had resulted in great good for the Church ; he was in favor of active, live effort, no be liever in folding of hands. He called out the liishops of Connecticut, who responded in an able and eloquent man ner, giving some account of the progress and results of missionary work that had fallen un der his observation.

Lawrence, Esq., as Moderator. AY G. Shaw, Esq., in behairof the Board of School Com missioners, made a statement to the effect that a tax oi forty cents on the dollar would be needed to run tho school department of the city for the year. The Commissioners were also desirous to complete the equaliza tion between the school districts contemplated by the amended Charter, and for tliat pur pose recommended an additional tax of ninety cents, making 130 cents in all. He explained that the additional 90 cents would put no money into the city treasury : hut be used in settling the lialances between the districts, according to their respective valuations ; and that the forty cents would not be as large a tax ub that commonly raised heretofore by the districts, for school pirjiosee. He offered the following resolution : Resoiced, That the City Council are hereby authorized to assess a tax of oat hundrtd and thirty cent on the dollar of the Grand list of the (Sty lor the support of schools for the pres ent school year and to equalize the valuations of the property of the several school districts of tho city, which tax shall include the twenty-five cents on the dollar tax, which the City Council was authorized by the amended charter of the City to assess for school purposes ; that said tax hereby authorized be apportioned among the sev eral school districts according to their reepectivt grand lists that from their respective .hares of such tax there be deducted the amounts standing to the credit of the respective school districts for the valuation of their property re cently passed over to the city awl for money tiaid by them into the City Treasury, and that .

And the Collector of taxes shall, as soon as he shall have received said rate bills for eol Ieetwn, publish notice in the several newspapers of the City that he is prepared to receive said tax. and anv Derson who shall pay his said tax within thirty days after the first publication of such noticc.'shall be entitled to a discount of four per eent thereon, which discount shall be auovveu to tne ixaiecior oi taxes m nis seiue roent with the city, provided he shall pay the net amount so collected into the City Treasury before the first day ef August next. On motion the resolution was unanim us ly ndopted. Mayor Itallou being called on for a state ment of tlie pecuniary condition and needs of tlie city, stated that the estimate of his pre decessor Mayor Wales, that a tax of 110 cents would 1 required to carry the city through to the end of the fiscal year in Febr uary next, was substantially correct. If, however, the voters were willing to v-ote encugh to carry the city through tj a year from now, a tax of 155 cents would be requir ed which would raise some $36,300. To this would have to be added whatever might be voted for the construction of a Firemen's Hall. The article relating to a Firemen's Hall being taken up. Wm. G. Shaw Esq. moved that such a liall be built at the expense of the city. This was carried without uppo-ition, the vote lieing followed by applause from the firemen present. Un motion of Wm. Brinsmaid. Esq. it was voted that the said Hall be located on the city land between Strong's building, and the Court II .use. In answer to an inquiry the Mayor stated that the building on the plan prepared by H C. Kyer, architect, would require an out lay of $9,000. Hon. Mr. Englesby moved that a tax of 175 cent on the dollar be laid, and that the Council be authorized to borrow the balance necessary to build the Hall. Hon. K. S. Taft offered the following re solutions as a substitute for Mr. Englesby's motion ; Mr. E. accepted the same, and they were adopted. 1. Ilesulrcl, l.y the legal voters of the City of Ilnrlmgton, That' the City Council are hereby authoried to assess a tax of one hundred and five cents on the dollar of the grand list of said city, including the fifty cents said council are authoried by law to assess, to pay the debts and the accruing expenses of the city for the cur rent year, and that such tax be eollecte.l.ui.1 pail into the city treasury by the 1st of January. lcVJ'.i, except as hereafter provided. 2. Jlrwlved, That all tax payer paying their taxes within thirtr days after notice shall be given that the Collector is ready to receive taxes, shall be entitled to a discount of four per cent of tlie amount of their taxes respectively. 3. lletolced, That the Mayor is authorized to borrow for a period not less than one year, a sum sufficient with any moneys appropriated during the present year by the city council, for the pur pose of erectiug a suitable building for the use of the Fire Pep irtment of this city. ltetolced, That the City Collector lie directed to give notice that he is icady to receive the gen eral city tax in the same manner ai directed in the resolution, this day adopted in reference to the tax for school purposes, and that in his set tlement with tho city, the collector sh ill be al lowed the di-count to which the ratepayers are entitled, providnl he shall pay the money so eo'. lecteil into tlie City Treasury by the 1st of Aug ust, in;s. Mr. Tatt in 'veil tj fill the blank in the first reioiuti.in with the word ' twnly,'1 thus raising a tax of 125 cent. He thought that if we voted enough to carry the city through to the end of the fiscal year, with a AO cent school tax, a 20 cent highway tax. and 10 cent tax for sinking fund of the wa ter debt, it was all the tax-payers would want to jv this year, as it would be about double our heaviest war tax. .Mr. Englesby moved to amend by insert ing "wniy in tho blank. He was op posed to running the city on borrowed money for three or fonr months each year and was in favor of voting enough to get through to the customary time of voting the special taxes, in June. If our expenses are too large, the City Council must retrench. J. W. Hickok, Esq., thought that the ne cessity of liorrowing, was a check on expen diture, and favored the smaller tax. The vote lieing taken, Mr. Englesby's amendment was adopted. The resolutions as amended were then adopted, after which the meeting adjourned. It will lie seen that tho taxes voted, (leav- ingjout the equalizing tax of 00 cents of which some school districts will liave nothing to pay, and others varying proportions) and adding the 20 cts. highway tax, amount to two hundrtd and thirty fire cents on the dollar, of which 40 cents is for the schools, 20 cents towards Firemen's Hall, 20 cents for highways and of jjoeton exhibited a youngman, whoa jear jcars or more, but is kaiu to uc growin0ra 155 cents for debts and expenses or the city . ag0( in 0,io, had a gas pipe driven horizon- J pidly in several states, and to bo an cfleotivo to June 180V. tally through his head, by a discharge in a alley or similar organizations in the Tcm- The meeting was not largely attended, and I mine etruck j,;m on r;gilt . pcrancc cause.

Bishop Biseell, the new Episcopal Bishop of A'ermont, preached last evening in St. Paul's Church, to a large audience, including many of other denomina tions. Ilev. T. A. Hopkins. Rev. John Hen ry Hopkins, and the Rector, Rev.Mr.Atwill, officiated in the service. Bishop BisseH is a man of full stature and dignified presence, with gray hair, a bright eye, and lines of earnestness and force in his pleasant countenance. His subject, appro priate t-i '-Trinity Sunday," was the office, personality and divinity of the Holy Spirit, and the wavs in which the Spirit may be grieved." It was a simple, earnest and ef fective ilisourse. After the close of the service, a number of the audience, aware that the present would he the last .vnnortunitv to hear Mr. Moore (who leaves for California on Thursday) upon the organ, waited in the church, and Mr Moore plaved to them for half an hour or more. Among the lieautiful pieces played by him was an improvisation, of and sweet mournful strains, introducing theair of 'Sweet Home, 'tlie title of which, if one was given to it, would have been, we suppose. ' Mr. Moore's farewell to Burlington." There was a streak of sadness, to all, throughout, fn mi the strong feeling of the loss which our musical com munity suffers, in the dejiarture of Mr Moore. Burlington can never, wc are sure, seem like aught but "home" to him, and we trust will again lie j in fact as well as in seeiuinir. in Tears to come. Meanwhile many wi-hes for his health, happiness and welfare, will follow him wherever he goes, from the numerous friends he leaves liehind him. Tin. S. noois.
