How *weet is tbe memory of childhood's bright
hours.
Whoa 1 roved, (No from care, 'mid tba bird*
and the towor*:
O'er my heart, gay and light a* the bird* oath*
wing.
Dirk thought* of tho future no shadow could
Sing
I rocked nut the pact of the future thought
not,
Whether storm-cloud er fanshine might fall to
my lot,
I lived ia tho yiMWO --was thoughtle** aad
gey,
Nor dreamed that it* pleasure* eould era pais
away.
Tbe home of my childhoodI fancy I see
Agaia tbe dear oottago, the lowland, tbe lea,
Tbe brooklet, tba meadow, where childlike we
strayed.
And tbe forest, where, wearied, wo (ought the
green shade
My brothers and staler*, though 'tis long slaoe
we inet,
Still live in my memory—I eherish them yet
But the love of my mother forever must be
The dearest and awecteit reiuembranoo to me.
'Twas long, age but I (ee even now
Her gentle, dark eye, aad her broad, noble
brow,
The suiile of affection that ever beamed there,
Which was nover dispelled bf her tardea of
eare
I kaow aha wa* oarowora, aad weary, aad
frail,
And ofttime* ber strength aad oaduraaeo would
fail
'Twas the care of her cbildrea, aad little we
thought
Of the trouble and toil which oar eaieiistneat
broaght.
Although to her ohildren iadalgoat aad kind,
To their follies and faults abenever wa* blind
For, though oft w. were paalchod,U wa* never
in wrath,
And tho iatuonco of love ovetthadowod our
path
It wa* of tea for aa she weald levlogly plead.
Whoa father, more Mora, would argue tbe need
Of a ''^wd eouree of sprout*," or a lapperless
And 'twas seldom In vain whea with father she
plead—
"They're children," she'd ray, "aad yea kaow
you and I
Were both ohildrea oaa* they'll ha elder by
and-by!"
Whea the Sabi .th drew near, that aeaaea of
real—
Tbo day of all others that mother loved boat—
She would gather ber childrea around her ia
prayer,
For we all loved to kneel by tho
"old orm-chair,"
Aa she asked tiod to bias* a*—panat aad
child—
Remembering first the thoaghtlecs aad wild
Oh, many a time ha* that iaSaeaee sweet
Proved a bleasing aad guide to my wandering
feet.
Our readers will all recollect thai during
tbe lata campaign, L. A. Tho aim, Jo RImmb
berg and the Democracy of Dabuquo, flood~
fed the district with accusation* against Mr.
Alliioa of tba boldoot aad moat unacropulou*
cbaracUr, charging him,amoogother tilings,
with having swindled the people through his
connection with the 3. C. P. It. R., and
lined bi* pocket* with ilUgotten gnin* at the
•acrificc of tbe public interest*. Tbe people
of tba district, knowing bow these charge*
Originated, took then for juat what they were
worth and re-elected Mr. Alliion by an over
whelming majority. L. A. Thomaa, one of
the author! of thete charges, who hoped to
tide iato Congret* apoa them, received in
the entire district oae hncdred and forty
nine oat of nearly thirty-five thousand votes
catt. Smarting under this ignominies* dc
(tat this viper ha* lately been seeking re
ventre by again vilifting Mr. Allison and in
eluding in hi* charges Mesir*. Wilson and
lluhbard. Having discovered that the Cin
cinnati Cmttft was lending itself to dirty
work of this kind, he addressed to that
a long letter brim full of all manner of lias,
told with such poaitirenass a* to receive an
editorial reference aad endorsement. Tbe
principal charge was that Messrs.
Mr. Speaker, I do not rise to request an
opportunity to enter a pcnonal explanation
on tbe record* of this House, but to demaud
the rifht ot personal vindication. For near
ly eignt vi ars I have been in the publie ser
vice in this House, aad I bad hoped to r*
ttire wibout the smell of smoke upon my
garments. Tbroujgh all of tbe czciting
scenes of tbe nast eight years, and not until
now, bave I bad laid at my door a charge of
corruption. Bat it meets me
BOW
upoa my
outpoinjr from tbe scenes aud associations
*f this Hall, and challenges my probity as a
public servant."
He then read tbe article from the Cincins
kati Gatettt, and said, among other things:
How am I to meet tbls charge and edi
torial indorsement When nine days more
shall bave passed, my conmssioosd career
will bave eaded. This brief time will not
admit of such aa investigation a* wovMseem
proper in this ease as it is presented by this
moat Calae and libelous writer, who dates his
letter at Dubw^iie, Iowa, mote than one
thousand miles disiaal {ton the capital. In
view of theeo facts what saora is left to me
than to denomea this satire charge as false
in every part, and as, to me at this time, an
inexplicable exhibition of personal maligni
ty aad bate What has prompted this thing
I do not know, and all :bs more wonder at
its coming in ibase closing days of ay con
gressional career. Never before have each
shadows tiussid my pit' .ongh these date
bach four years or mote,: tbe £*ct* oat of
which tbey claim to have been formed lie in
tbnt distant past,"
a o a
Speaker, no man kaow* my connec­
tion with this ease so perfectly as John I.
Blair, of the 8talo of New Jersey. His pres
ence in this city at this lime is my good for
tune, aad I now present his affidavit cover
ing the crtirs ground of this hifhmous charge,
and ask that it may be read by the Clan,
and request tbe attention of nam bars to it."
Tbe Clerk read as (otlews:

I, John I. Blair, of Blairstowa, New Jer

On the contrary I bave geaerally deemed it

Indeed, I know of but very few salaries
paid by tbo Government that ought not to
be somewhat reduced. 1 shoali be very
willing to vote for the reduction of almost
every salary now paid to persons employed
ia the civil service of the Government. 1
believe there will be no severe system of
economy adopted by this strong euough to
compel a general redaction of the salaries

I do not propose to discuss ths question
whether it was the part of wisdom to employ
female clerks ia the various Departments.
That is not tbe question. They are and
have been employed ia tbe Departments in
great numbers they will be so employed in
tbe future. This bill contemplates their
employment. Tbe question i* whether tbey
shall receive from tbe Government for their
labor tbe same compensation that you pav

fect of my proposition is that tbo femole

sir, the moment you raise the salary you
will create competition to press them oat aad
replace them by others. All I caa aay ia
that the gentlemen who ore iu favor of re

to tbe gentleman from Mnssacb joelts that
this is no qaoetkm of gallantry at all. It is
a question of manifest justice it is poping

for which we pay male clerks $1,200 aad
$1,400.
Tbe argument that femule darks get more
than tbo achoolmistressss in ths country up
plies with eoual force to the male clerks, for
we pay male elerks more than we pay
schoolmasters out in the country. Eitboir
