AVhen I am dead and buried, thenThere will be a mourning among men.I hear one musing on my dust :"How hard lie fought to win his crust."And one, "He was too sensitive'In this cold-winter- ed world to live."Another, weeping "Ah, how fewSo gentle-hearte- d and so true.""I met him only once, and yetThe strange, sad look in his young eyes."One other says, and then with wiseA solemn shaking head "No doubt.The hot heart burnt that frail frame out."

II.Hood friends, a discount on your grief!A little present help were worthMore than a sorrow-stricke- n earthWhen I am but n wintered leaf.An outstretched hand were, ht-tte- r to meThan your glib graveyard sympathy.You need not pity and rhyme and paint me.You need not woep for, and sigh for, and

paint meAfter you've starved rne driven me dead.Say ! do you hear ? What I want Is bread !

To be successful in removing tinevil, it is ncce-psar- to trace it to itssource and discover its cause, for ifthe cause is not known the means ta-

ken to remove it may rather enhanceit. Like a dis?eae of the body, If awrong conclusion is reached from thesymptoms, wrong remedies may beadministered, the disease ngravatedand a fatal termination be the result.

Perhaps the great cause why themedical facility fail to eilect a euro inso many cubes, is because the true na-

ture of the disease is not understood.So in the case of drunkenness. Mayit not be a fact, that the proper meanshave not been used to remove it, un-

til it lias become such a fearful evil ?A system of ethics has long been

ued to reach the case of the drunk-ard. So he has been nlead with, entreated, d to refrain fromswallowing the maddening drnutrht.which will bring want, degradation,ruin and misery to himaelf and thoseconnected with him.

What does this all avail? Notmuch of any good, for his body andmind are neither in a condition to bereached by "moral suasion." Whathas political economy done with itsstrong arm to protect the people intheir persons and in their propertyfrom the cure of drunkenness. Withall its boasting assertions of its powerto prevent and punish crime, and be a"terror to evil doers," what has itdone for the drunkard in iiis strugglewith his terrible foe? It has ratherhelped his enemy in this fearful strug-gle, for it has licensed the traffic inthe article which has nau.sedlii down-fall and ruin. No enactment of civilgovernment can restrain a man fromrum-drinki- ng as long as it is placedwithin his reach, for lie is not masterof his appetites; lie Is rather controll-ed hi' them.

That man knows not whereof hetalks when he says let the inebriatehave firmness and just sy he will notdrink rum ami become drunken ; lethim not be a victlmof this slavish ap-

petite. This language is but an on

of his utter ignorance ofwhat drunkenness is, for be it knownthat the one subject to alcoholic im-

pression can no more help cravingand using this stimulant than a mat:can avoid shaking in a chill oi ague,or raving in a fit of insanity. Herecomes in a very important question,what is drunkenness V

The belief has long been cherished,in theory, that inebriation is a disease,and not many years ago a memorialwas presented to the New York Leg-

islature, signed by fifteen hundredleading physicians, expressing theiropinion that inebriation is a disease,and with proper hygienic treatment,can be cured This theory has Iwenreduced to an experiment. The firstinebriate a.sy-lu- was established in185S in Binghampton, New York.Since that time similar instituti nshave been established in five or six ofthe States. In Australia, leadingmen among tl o British nobility andamong the learned professions, havetaken a deep interest in this move-

ment, and niueh good is being done asa result.

Without a doubt this is the onlysure way of reaching intemperance,and conquering it and curing it.What a work, and who is sufficientfor it? The disease is malign mt.wide-sprea- d and presents itself in ev "Iory variety of forms, chronic ami

If inebriate asylums were to springup all over the land, and receive with-

in its kindly wall the six hundredthousand drunkards in America, andthev be so treated as to effect a cure in '

every case, would all the work then i

be done in the temperance cause?Oh! no, there is the rum-sell- er who1furnishes recruits continually for the,ranks of this immense army of ru-

ined men. The rum-selle- r; whatshall be done with him? Shall soci-ety respect him, and despise thedrunkard? Nav. nublic opinionshould frown him flown. This. .,ivsl

OUR XEW SENATORS.

Pen Picture of the Scnat oni n,- -emit.

From tho N. Y. Herald of Saturday.KOUTWELL,

The most notable addition to theSeu-at- e,

moves about the Chamber in hisquiet, unassuming manner.

The transformation from the arduouslabors of the chief of the Treasury tothe comparatively easy Senatorial lifeis a great relief to him. His desk ison ttie extreme left, rather out of theway of the casual observer. There hesits, cold and calm, keenly observantof the debate, or else noiselessly pac-ing to and fro between his desk andthe cloak-roo- m. He ir, one of the(tame) lions of the Senate, and Isquite as often made tho objective pointof glasses In the gallery as any otherof tho prominent menon tho floor.

SENATOR DORSEY, OF ARKANSAS.Rico, of Arkansas, the State where

the festive bowie-knif- e and navy re-volver yet grow in wild profusion, isfe'tcceeiled by S. W. Doraey, a quiet,huge-bui- lt man of a not very pn --

nounced Intellectual type. Ho Is ofthe black thunder-clou- d style, andlooks very aggressive in aclooely-but-tone- d

double-breaste- d coat.SAROEXT, OE CALIFORNIA.

The quiet Cole, of California, is suc-ceeded by the irrepressible Sargent,famil.arly known in the House as"Effigy." Sargent is a very noisy de-

bater, and is obstinate and unscrupu-lous in the handling of parliamentarytechnics to cany his ends as the worstenemy of honest legislation could de-

sire. In the House he was alwaysdressed in a shabby suit of steel-gra- y,

which harmonized well with his hairand whiskers. Since he has becomea Senator, however, he lias discardedtho shahb gray, and is quite trans-formed by bis neat black suit. He nolonger looks like home overland staye-- d

river, hut more like sm energetic"drummer" who has amasned a com-petency II. is said bj' tho-- e who donot love him. to be a child of theCon- -

tral Pacific Railroad. Sarnent wouldundoubtedly deny this, but as everychild is no supposed to knoiv hinownlather, bis opponent would take noheed of his (en ill.

FERRY, OF CONNECTICUT,The mild. rotired-grocer-Ionkin- g Sen-ator, with the quiet, diffident air, asif he longed to be back to tho scalesand scoop, is again returned. Ferryis, however, a man of undoubtedability, and much more formidablethan he looks.

CoNOVER, OF FLORIDA.Florida, instead of sending back

the insignificant Osborne, varied theprogramme by selecting the insigniticant F. 15. Conover. Couover andDorsey of Arkansas sit near togetherupon the extreme left, and impressthe disinterested spectator with theidea thai they will do nothing of avery startling nature before theirterm- - expire.

GORDON. OF GEORGIA.Hill, of (J.'orgia. one of the South-

ern Republicans, is r.o't returned thistime. ' In his place ci.m.'s ('onion, anex-offic- er of the staff' of (Jen. RobertE Lee. Gordon is a blonde, nervous-lookin- g

man. just above the mediumheight. He has the air of a dashing. avalry officer even yet. and no doubtwill be seen in the charge on the ene-my's works during the coming ses-sion.

OGLESEY, OF ILLINOIS.Trumbull, the astute lawyer ami

politician, who dug bis own ( Liberal;grave, gives way for Ex-- ( JovernorOgh-vby- . Oglesby is a smooth-face- d,

gray-haire- d old man. always ready atrepartee, who has the reputation ofbeing one ol the best stump oratorsin the West. He iuiii not yet had anopportunity ii. the Senate to show"the stuff' whereof he is made,' buthe tells ii good story in a vor enter-taining way, and can command atten-tion whenever ho chooses to poak.Heis not o profound a man as Trum-bull, but in many ways will muchbetter represent the Empire State ofthe West.

ALLISON (C. AL), OF IOWA.

Harlan has a successor inAllison, who was accused of

having a finger in the Credit Mobillerpie. Allison has explained all that,however, and has since been takenupon trust. He is not over forty inappearance, and has a full face. Hush-

ed in deep red color, and set off' by aMowing brown beard. Jle is reportedto be very wealthy.

INGALLS, OF KANSAS.

The fat, bald-heade- d Pomeroy, whowas made to feel that the ways of thetransgressor are hard, is followed by agentleman his very opposite in pointof personal appearance. Ingalls is atall, slim man. who does look tobo over forty years of age. His faceis of the keen. Yankee type, aud liasa very shrewd expre isiou. A lighthiack moustache and a delicate, wiry

Thetaint of bribery was wholly disinfect-ed from his clothing by the recent ac-

tion of the Seuato. Bogy is good-size- d,

rather Meshy man, of forty-liv- e

or fifty years of age. His face is anordinary one, well colored, and set off'by two gray bita of whiskers. Hiscountenance is that of Well-to-d- o

No longer floes the crygf up, "Who is Jones?" for the readyanswer is now, "Why Joncn is theman who used money to carry hiselection ami openly boasts of It ashigh privilege of capitalists."

From the New York ETenlng Post.It mav be matter of consolation to

the members of Congress who havetaken million aud half of dollarsout of our burdened and exhaustedtreasury, for services already compen-sated to know that their act was notwithout In the year 1SIGCongress passed bill called the

bill, which was very muchlike the one that was lately passed. Itprovided torpavMngeach meiubersomefifteen hundred dollars year, subjectto deductions for absence, except incases of sickness; and it gave doublepay to the Speaker ami the Presidentof the Senate if there should be noVice-Presiden- t. It passed the Housewith the affirmative vote of Jl demo-crats and 40 federalists, against thenegative vot of "2 democrats and 15federalists. It passed the Senate tildemocrat ami 12 feder'llsts voting aye

democrats and federalists vot-ing no.

But this fact will not be so consola-tory when our members hear of themanner In which the act was receivedby the people. Let us say, iu word,that It produced tremendous excite-ment. The legislatures of the severalStates passed resolutions condemningIt popular meetingsWere held to de-nounce it; anil the people"every wheredenounced it and even graud juriesindicted it as nuisance, or rather asoffence confra bonos mo)-es- . Nile'sJiegister of August 17, 181G, said that"none of the old members will beelec-te- d

from Delaware; the 'Compensa-tion Law' Is doing wonders. It is be-

lieved that the whole representationfrom Connecticut and Vermont will bechanged." The same feeling prevailedthe other States, and, indeed, the pub-lic disapprobation was bo gre:t thatthe snnio Congress at ita next session,in January, 1817, repealed the act, andafter much discussiou, but humanweakness so far prevailed that thomembers caused the repeal to tako ef-

fect after the session should expire,tbui taking themselves tho extraoompeu3a:iou given by tho act Be-fore this act the per diem had beensix dollars after the repeal it wasffxod at eight dollars. The retroac-tive operation of the act, whereby themembers wiio voted for it enlargedtheir own ootnpenaation, was objectedto in debate; but It wascarried.

Mr. Hager, an eminent momberfrom South Carolina, who opposedthe act, said, lu words not withouttheir instruction now

"Bnt eveu granting it to bo expedi-ent to iucrease their pay for the fu-

ture, it was, in every possible view,incorrect and unbecoming to give thebill retrospective operation. Whenthe members of this "Congress wereelected, they well knew they wouldbe entitled to six dollar day, aud nomore. They accepted their seats un-der this express condition. But if thebill passed, each member would re-

ceive fifteen hundred dollars for theyear ending on the 1th of March,which was already elapsed, and flu-rin- g

which they had barely been insession three months. Thus, insteadof month, or $."0 for threemonths, to which they were now en-

titled, and which many have alreadydrawn, the members would receive$l,,"ili(J each, while the President pro(em. of the Senate ami the Speaker ofthe House of Representatives, in-

stead of $l,uso. to which they wouldbo entitled as the law stood,would each receive $3,000; the mem-bor- s

per ditm at the rato of about$17 per tlay, exclusive of tho usualallowance for travelling expenses the

resilient pro tcm. of the Senate andthe Speaker of the House of Repre-sentatives, irr di"m of rather up-wards of $33 likewise exclusive ofthe usual allowance of travelling expenses. The PresidetitrotV?. and theSenate and the Speaker of the Houseof Representatives of the FourteenthCongress, would consequently receive

gratuity (for gratuity, concealed asit might be. it certainly was),ami above their usual j)C diem, at theclose of bloody ifiul war.out of the public cotters, to theamount of about $200,000 for theirservices the three mouths last past,during which they had literally, andto the btst of his recollection, donenothing else but make appropriationsand lav taxes."

It was only two hundred thousandthen, but it mdllau and halfnow, when the condition of our f-

inances are quite as bad as they couldhave been iu lsifj. Now as then, wehave had war we are fearfully indebt; the taxation oppresses aud al-

most paralyzes industry. But howthe nation took It then we may learntrom the life of no less distinguished

statesman "thau John C Calhoun.His biographer says (Life mid Speech-es, 23)

"During the same session bill waspassed changing the per diem pay ofmember of Congress into an annualpay of l,oOO. At proved to be ex

little part or interest iu its passage.When he returned to his constituent-- ,he found for the ShC time, the tide ofpopular favoragaiuit him. So strongwas the current that his two prede-cessors, who had retired in his favor,General Butler and Colouel Calhoun,the latter near relative, were bothviolently opposed to him, and the for-mer came out as caudidate againsthim. They were both men of greatiuduence, the one residing at Edge-field and the other at Abbeville, andthese two formed the Congressionaldistrict. Only few faithful triendsventured openly to vindicate hivote."

Even Henry Clay, popular as hewas, with great difficulty secured hisre election. It was during this strug-gle that the incidents of the oft-repeat- ed

anecdote occurred"Duriug the canva--s Mr. Clay met

OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CoUXTY.inn in irnir1 anil irn-wfi- T

I a one-arm- ed man, which gives poinfcto the following bit of Irish wit:

"An Irish barber residing at Lox- -itigtou had always giveu Mr. Clay hiovi-te- , and on all occasions when howas a candidate for office, election-eered warmly for him. His ardenttemperament and unrestrained paa-sio- ns

frequently iuvolved him inscrapes and difficulties, out of whichMr. Clay had generally succeeded iuextricating him. While the canvasswas going on after tho compousationbill, the barber did not evince his usu-al zeal and animation ; on the contra-ry, seetm d to be indifferent as to theresult of the election. To all Inqui-ries for whom he designed to vote, hoanswered evasively. He was accosteda few days previous to tho electiou, bya gentleman for whom he entertainedthe most profound regard, with thequestion : 'For whom, Jerry, do youmean to vote?' Regarding his inter-rogator with an earnest, shrewd look,he replied, 'Faix an' shure, docthuf,T tiiano to vote for the nian who can'tput more uor one hand into thothreashury.""

The Irishman's logic was as good ashis wit.

But the results of the proceedingare most fully described in tho follow-ing extract from a letter of ThomasJefferson to Albert Gallatlu, datedJune IGth, 1S17. He says:

"Accouling to the opinion I hazar-ded to you a little before your depart-ure, we have had almost an ontlrochange iu the body of Congress. Thounpopularity of the Compensationlaw was completed by the manner ofrepealing it, as to all the world exceptthemselves. In sorao States, It Is said,every member is changed, in all,many. What oppositlonthero was tothe original law was chiefly fromSouthern members. Yet many ofthose have been left out because theyreceived the advauced wages. I havenever known so unanimous a senti-ment of disapprobation, and what Isremarkable is that it wasspontaneous.The newspapers were almost entirelysilent, and the peoplo not only un-ruled by tholr leaders but In opposi-tion to them. I confess I was highlypleased with this proof of the Innatogood sens,, the vigilance, aud the de-termination of the people to act forthemselves."

Let the present members of Con-gress read and learn, and espoolallybeware of all one-arm- ed competitors.

DOX CARLOS OK SPAXX.

Tho Hcfedllary DUturber of tlio Pe- -

tilii.ula Kutlier aud Sou.

Tho name of Don Carlos has beeoelnce the sixteenth century, minglediu the public mind with scones of rev-olution in Spain. There have beenfour pretenders to the Spanish thronoof this name. The latter-pretende- ra

have been the representatives of thoabsolutism. Don Carlos I, infant ofSpain, son of Phillip II, born at VaI- -

ladolid, in 1535, died in 1503, in prisonat Madrid, aud was buried in a nuu- -

nery. He was sickly and passiouato ;was superseded as presumptive- holrto the crown He planned an assaultupon his father, and for this languish-ed till his death iu prison. His deathas well as his life gave rise to manyconflicting rumors. The Incompati-bility of temper between a rigid, Iron-heart- ed

man like Don Phillip, and amorbid, impulsive youth like DonCarlos, tho fact that the infant hadbeen engaged to Elizabeth, of Franco,who "iih-equen- ty became his step-mother, his sympathy with the revoltof the Netherlands, and tho hatred ofAlva, all con-- pi red t invest the mel-ancholy fate of the infant with a haloof romance which has been poeticallytreated by Allien, Champestron, Ot-wa- y,

and, above all, Schiller. Thosecond pretender, Don Carlos MariaIsidor, pretended to the crown ofSpain, sou of iCing Charles IV. bornMarch 20. 17SS. died in Trieste. March10, 1S05. Many of thejopponents of thoconstitutional regime which was re-

stored in I82U gathered around DotCarlo:), hoping that after tho decease-o- f

his childless brother, FerdinandVII, he would ascend tho throne.But these hopes were prostrated byFerdinand's! marriage with MariaChristina, and by the abrogation ofthe Salic law, which placed Isabella,upou the throne. In 1S32, when Fer-dinand was supposed to bo on thepoint of death ttie CarlisM succeededin extorting frrttn him a decree

the Salic law, and thus ox-cldd- iiig

Isabella, but he recoveredhis health, and the fraud practicedupon him was immediately redressed.In 1S33, when Ferdinand died, DouCarlos proclaimed himself king.Maria Cristina, the regent, brandedhim as a rebel, and concluded withBritain, France and Portugal the socalled quadruple alliance, the practi-cal effect of which was to expel DonCorlos and Don Miguel, the championsof absolutism, from Spain and Portu-gal. On July 1, 1831. Don Carlos left;England, whither Spain, succeededin kindling a civil war in the north-ern urovlnces, which rKd firs'drf'yeara, JDon -- Corlos eluding tbtr vigllauce of his opponents until 18S8,iriuu Uo Tua ooto polled io--ln- vAcr

In Is 15 he adopted tho name of Countof Molina, abdicated in favor of hiaeldest sou, with permission to leaveFraue, took up his abode in Auetrla.His first wife was Maria Franeisca doA-I- s, daughter of John VI, King ofPogtugal, who bore t.iin three sons,Don Carlos iu ISIS.
