The Spring-Time i JLiftv
' BY II. B. B.
Beautiful is spring cheerful, bright spring,
Enlivening scenery; mild, pleasant weath
er The face of creation, each created thing,
' To praise the Creator, uniting together.
Inspiring season! Buds, leaflets, and flow
ers,
Emitting their fragrance, their beauties
display.
'3Iidst the groves, in green fields, on the
vine-covered bowers,
Are the little wing'd psalmists, thanks
giving all day.
Released from the stern winter's icy em
braces
'. The rivulets, limpid, resuming their mo
tion;
In their transparent waters, the merry-fin
ned races,
Now gladden'd with joy, show sportive
devotion.
Have we duly reflected on life's fleeting
stream?
Of eternity's ocean, to which it is taken?
Life's time to eternity is but a dream!
Life's only a dream from which all must
awaken.
Oh! if life's but a dream, 'tis the time set
apart,
"When the soul must insure eternal sal
vation; And the spiirg-time of life, the time when
the heart,
Young, hopeful, and ardent, should make
preparation.

THE fcON Oh1 A PRESIDENT JILT
ED Y THE DAUGHTER OF A
SENATOR INCIDENT IN THE
LIFE OF ROilEIiT LINCOLN.
You n member Robert Lincoln, son
nf the late Pre sidi'Ut? lie was general
ly liked here as ar. amiable aud intelli
gent young gentleman, not quite equal
to his fathers ability, but of superior
culture. A story is just now current
in which his name is so freely bandied,
and so universally that, seeing that all
the paitics are of public notoriety, there
may be no impropriety in alluding to it.
Nearly two years ago, so the story runs,
Hubert fi-li in love with a young lady,
whose father was at the time out of of
fice and out of money. To be in this
condition at Washington is mat to be
ing convicted of forging a government
m Lo iid. o'r murder in the first degree, and
tCe itlea'of niarrving the lady in that
condition was not to be thought of.
So the amiable Robert set about mend
ing the matter, and forthwith made a
despciate effort to secure the proposed
father-in-law a seat in the lowr House
of Congress. He failed in this, how
ever, and was at a dead halt, when
luckily a member of the Cabinet died.
Here was a vacancy, and the lover,
'speeding on the wings of passion arao-!
rous," flow to thc President and stated j
the .whole case, to him with great frauk-
ness. "I like your way of doing things,
Bob," said Mr. Lincoln, "and, if pos
sible, I will work the thing for you."
To cut a long tale short, he did "work
it" the broken-down politician be
came a member of the Cabinet; the
young ajjiancec was suddenly coverted
into a leader of fashion, and all went
sweetly as a marriage bell towards the
wedaiU2 oav
a j c :
llllli 1 fit. (lLlclvr; UlilI
iails to uoia us own, anu in mis as in

every other case, the course of true love
did not ruu smooth. The hand of the
assassin interposed. The young gentle
man found himself bereft of father, of
fortune and of place at one fell swoop.
On the other hand the Cabinet member
created by his interposition, had expe
rienced a change of fortune, for having
shuffled his cards skillfully, he was just
returned a Senator in Congress. The
lady wavered; the nuptials were post
poned; and. finally, as visions of a gay
career and better match began to flit
across her beautiful blue eyes, she re
solved that she was not as much in love
as she had been, and so broke off the
engagement altogether. I tell you the
tale as it was told me. It is just now
the goss-ip of the hour; and as 1 have no
doubt it will appear in print such se
crets being too valuable and too noto
rious for a poor devil of a letter writer
to keep I give you the benefit of it.
It is an apt illustrat;oa of the way of
the. world ad fickleness of women
kind. Correspondence Nashville Ban
ner.
Some of the Itctutls The refusal of
a jus'ice to marry a black man and a
white woman; the refusal of a hotel
ktepir to lodge or feed a negro, or of a
church to sell a pew to a negro, subjects,
by the Civil Kights Bill, the offend
ing" party to a fine of 1,000, or im
prisonment, or both.
The discrimination by any State be
tween whites and blacks in auy of it?
laws, remits the aggrieved black to the
courts of the United States for trial.
So that, under the Civil Kights Bill,
the Federal courts will have cognizance
of murder?, rapes, arsons, robberies,
and many other - crimes heretofore cog
nizable exclusively in State courts.

From the Philadelphia Daily "Age."
The authoress of this book is a Vir

lence. The peblishers peserve great praise for
the manner in which they have sent the
book from the press.
From the Church Intelligencer.
"The writer wields a facile pen, and it
glides on so smoothly that it rounds up its
beautiful periods with a naturalness that
makes you forget the authoress and her
style in the interest of the narrative.
"The characters are all well sustained
throughout. These three char
acteristics its elegant compositioh its
admirable plot and its thorough consisten
cy are enough not only to give the book
a ready sale, but to establish the reputa
tion of the authoress as a woman of genius
and culture."
From the Bibical Recorder,
The story is told with skill and power,
and those who commence reading it will
not wish to stop till it is finished."
From the Petersburg, Va , Daily Index."

rarely produced by an American novel.
The interest of the story is sustained,

culture runs through it which reminds us
of Hannah More, and Mrs. Hdgeicorth."
From Daily Progress Raleigh, N. C
"A sweet story, full of pnthosas instruc

The' present effort of Mrs. Downing
will give her a claim to favoritism with thc

From the Daily Sentinel, Raleigh, N C
"It is ceTainlp a gem of wonderful
boauty and purity. The reader is kept in
almost pauiful doubt whether the lady's
secret is a crimnal one or not. In paiut-

Downing has succeeded in giving us a more;
womanly and natural creation than Dick-
