SONG OF TIME.
I come, I come, and my locks are white,
And my form is bowed with age,
But my arm is strong, my eye is bright,
And war with the world 1 wage.
I wield my scythe, and I bend my bow,
As fierce and strong as ever;
I turn my glass, and the quick sands flow,
Flow on, flow on forever.
I come, I come, and I spread my wings
O’er earth like a sable pull,
The light departs from its proudest things,
And dark is the fate of all.
The sea is mine, where the wild waves go,
Ceasing their motion never,
\Vhere liglituings flash, and the tempests blow,
Blow on, blowon forever.
I come, I come like the. rushing blast,
Exlialing my tainted breath,
The noblest hearts to the grave are cast—-
'I‘o the silent hall of deatli.
The beautiful fade, like tears they weep,
Or smiles they sport with ever,
And silently lie them down to sleep,
Sleep on, sleep qn forever.
I come, I come with fresh breaking day,
At noon, with the noon-tide sun,
At eve, when light is fading away,
And the toils of life are done.
I come with the night's soft silver bca1iis——
Its dews to the folded flowers,
Dreams on, of his golden hours.
I come, I come to the bright fireside,
The place of life’s happiest years,
And bear from her home the blushing bride,
Or mingle her joy with tears;
I break the spell from the hoping heart,
Love’s silken lie I sever,
From loving I bid the loved depart,
Depart, depart forever.
I tear the wreath from the minstrel’s brow,
The streiigth from the wai'i'ioi"s arm;
And I rob the seer, whose name but now
\Vas girt with a holy charm.
I trend with joy where the moiiarch sleeps,
Dismantle his banquet hall,
And train up the ivy-green that creeps,
Creeps over its crumbling wall.
I come—a merry old man am I,
I dance o’cr the ruin I've inade;
I laugh to see how the swift years fly;
And the sexton wields his spade.
For I grasp my scythe, and bend my bow,
As fierce and strong as ever. [flow——
But hours will come, when the quick sands
No more, no more forever.
MISCELLANY.
LOVE IN A PRINTING OFFICE.
I once heard an old Jour. remark that a
priming oflice was no place for love mak-
ing, and I have since experienced the truth
of his obsei'vation—being now perfectly
convinced that. the flower of love can never
bloom in the midst of types, stands and
printing ink.
It was my fortune oncc'to sojourn for a
few days in the village of . Di-
rectly opposite the office was a pretty
white cottage, with a rose bush clambering
around the easement, and I was not long
making the discovery that the aforesaid
white cottage with the ross shaded win,-
dow, contained a fair inrnate—a flower
whose beauty far outshone the roses that
clustered around the window. She wasa
little blue eyed, saucy looking creature of
some sixteen summers. She was the belle
of the village. Her name was Mary,
sweet, poetic Mary.
“I have a poetic passion for the name of Mary.”
It was a beautiful summer morning, and
I had raised the window to admit the cool
breeze from the flower decked fields, and
it was not long before I perceived that the
cottage window was also hoisted, and that
sweet little Mary was seated near it, busily
engaged with her needle. I worked but
little that morning. My eyes constantly
wandered toward the cottage window,
where little Mary sat, and all sorts of
strange and fantastic notions whirled
through my fancy lighted brain, and I'be-
gan to think I felt a slight touch of what
sliding in the corner of
‘the poets call love,
’,my heart.
A few days passed mvay, and chance
, made me acquainted with Mary. Heavens!
‘she was a sweet creat.ure——slie had a form
that would have shamed the famous Venus
de Medici—a cheek that outblushed the
richest peach—and lips that would have
tempted a bee from his hive on a frosty
morning. I thought, as I gazed on her in
mute admiration, that I neverlooked upon
one so exquisitely beautiful. She seemed
the embodiment of all that is lovely and
bewitching.
‘ Well, time passed on, and one day Mary
expressed a desire to visit the printing
office. Gad, thought I, what 9. chance! I’ll
do it there, yes, there in the midst of the
implements of mine ai't——why sliouldn’tI?
Love in (1 Printing O_[]i.ce—eh I There was
something original in that, and I resolved
to try it at all hazards.
VVell, Mary came to the ofiice, and I
explained to her the uses of various im-
plements of the black art—the ink and the
roller—the press and the stands, and the
boxes of the A. B. C’s. I took an oppor-
tunity to snatch her pretty lily white hand,
and she drew it back, knocking astick full
of types into pi!
“I must have a kiss for that, my pretty
one,” said I, and at it Iwent. I manage
to twist my arm around her waist, and in
struggling to free herself, she upset a gal-
ley of editorial, :1 long article on the Ore-
gon question. Nothing daunted,I made
at her again. This time I was more suc-
cessful, for I obtained a kiss. By St. Paul
it was a sweet "one, and the little witch
ore it like a mai-tyr——she never screamed

d pied by the nine
b
lance: but aslraiaed my lips from. horn,
she lifted her delicate white hand, and she
gave me a box on the ears, that made me
see more stars than ever were viewed by
Herschel through his big telescope.
Somewhat ncttlcd, and with my cheek
smarting with pain, I again seized her
waist and said, ‘Well, if you don’t like it,
just take back the kiss.’ She made a des-
perate struggle, and as she jerked herself
from my arms, her foot struck the lye pot,
and over it went! Another galley of ed-
itorial was sprinkled over the floor, and in
her effort to reach the door, her foot slip-
ped and she fell, and in the effort to sustain
herself, her hand—her lily white hand-
the same little hand that had come in con-
tact with my ears, oh, horrible !—was stuck
up to the elbow in the ink keg! Shade of
Franklin! what a change came over the
beauty of tliatliand! She slowly drew it
from the keg dripping with ink, and asked
me what use I made of that tar! I began
to be seriously alarmed and apoligised in
the best maimer I could, and to my sur-
prise, she seemed rnther pleased than an-
gry-—but there was a “lurking devil in her
eye” that told me there was mischief afloat.
As I stood surveying the black covering of
her hand, scarcely able to suppress a laugh
at its strange metamorphosis, she quickly
raised it on high, and she brought it down
‘ker slap’ upon my cheek! Before I could
had again descended, and again left its
inky imprint on my other cheek.
“Why, l\rlary,” I exclaimed, “what are
you about?’
“I think you told me you rolled ink on
tliefacc of the form,” she replied with a
loud laugh, and again her hand lit upon
my face, taking me a broad slap in the
very middle of my countenance, and most
wolully bcdaubed my eyes. With a light
step and a merry peal of laughter, she
skipped through the door. She turned
back when beyond my reach, and with her
roguisli face peering in at the doorway,
shouted back-—
“I say Charley, what kind of a roller
does my hand make I”
“O,” said .I, “you take too much ink.”
“Ha! ha!” she laughed, “well, goo'J
bye, Cliarley-—t/iat’s my zilizpress-i'c7z .' ha !
ha! ha I”
I went to the glass and surveyed myself
a moment, and verily believe that 1 could
have passed for in Guinea negro without
the slightest difficulty.
“And so,” said I to myself, “this is love,
The devil fly away
with such love!”
The next morning when the editor came
to the ofIice,I ‘rather calculate’ he found
things a little topsy turvy. However, that
made no difference to me—for I had ‘miz-
zled’ long beforedaylight.

added their attractions to the great city ofj
the Aztecs. Gorgeous temples——inwhich
human being: were sacrificed, and tlieiri
blood baked in bread, or their bodies
dressed for food to be devoured by thel
people at religious festivals—i'eared their,
pyramidal alters far above the highest ed-§
ifices. Thousands of their brother meii_
were thus sacrificed annually. The templel
of Maxtili, their war god, was so construc-
tcd that its great alarm gong, sounding a
battle, roused the valley for three leagues
around, and called three hundred thousand
Aztecs to the immediate service of their
monarch. So vast was the collection of
birds of prey, in a building devoted to
them, that five hundred turkeys, the cheap-
est meat in Mexico, were allowed for their
daily consumption. Such were the ‘llalls
of the Nlontezumas !’ The summer res-
idence of the monarch, on the hill of Cha-
pultepec, overloo‘.-'ing the city, was sur-
rounded by gardens of several miles in
extent, and here were preserved until the
middle of last century, two statues of the
emperor and his father. The great cypress
trees, under which the Aztec sovereign
and his associates once held their moon-
light revels, still shade the royal gardens.
Some of them, fifty feet in circumference,
are several thousand years old, but are yet
as green as in the days of Monte‘/.uina,
whose ashes, or those of his aiicestors,
render sacred in the eyes ofthe native Mex-
icans the hill of Chapultepec. Natural
decay and a waning population now mark
the power of the great Montezumas.

rcrs, whom he had invited to his royal
palace. Historians agree in admiring his
character.
On ascending the throne, not content
with the spacious residence of his father,
he erected another much more magnificent,
fronting on the plaza rnayor of the present
city of_Mcxico. So vast was this great
structure, that, as one of the historians in-
formslus, the space covered by Its terraced
roof might have afforded room for thirty
Knights to run their courses in regular
tournay. His fatlier’s palace, although
not so high, was so extensive that the vis-
itors were too much fatigued in wandering
through the apartments, ever to see the
whole of it. The palaces were built of red
stone, ornamented with marble, the arms
of the Montezuma family (an eagle hear-
ing a tiger in his talons) being sculptured
over the main entrance. Chrystal foun-
tains, fed by great reservoirs on the neigh-
boring hills, played in the vast halls and
gardens, and supplied water to hundreds of
marble baths in the interior of the palaces.
Crowds of nobles and tributary chieftains
were continually sauntering through the
balls, or loitering away their hours in at-
tendance on the court. Rich carvings in
wood adorned the ceilings, and beautiful
maps of palm leafcovered the floors. The
walls were hung with cotton richly stained,
the skins of wild animals, or gorgeous
drapery of feather work wrought in imita-
tion of birds, insects and flowers, in glori-
ous radiance of colors. Clouds of mcense
from golden censors diffused intoxicating
odors through splendid apartments occu-

and "5000 slaves of Montezuma. .

and public schools were established
through the greater part of his empire.

expressed their views in brief respecting
the report. House voted to accept the
report—Ayes 88, Nays 3?.
Mr. Perkins moved to recommit to the
committee with instructions to propose
an amendment to the constitution in the
usual form ; passed.
Bill for the Iron Bank came from the

Committee on claims reported a resolu3
tion providing for the erasure of the word
“white” from the consti‘tution4—Hdus‘d
refused to print the resolution. I
Mr. Selden said the object was to give’
these petitioners a fair chance to appeal to
the public, the final umpire in such matters.-
Hc said a man might consistently vote for
this resolution ; while on thefinal vote he
might not think fit to sustain the alteration.-
When- this has been done, these per-'
sons ought to be satisfied. No more could
be done. , _ _
Mr. Hollister felt bound to slate hid
views. He was not accustomed to speech-'
making ; he was one‘ of the hard fist"ed
sons of the soil. But he hoped he might
be heard a few moments. Cleared of the‘
fog and mist of the rliet:,oric of the gentle-
man from I.yme—what is this argument 'l_
Why it will endanger the government of
Connecticut! He contended that the",
people of color had all the privileges of
white people, except that of suffrage and
had always demeaned themselves peacea-
bly. So that if there was any danger wd
should have known it. He thought it had
no existence, save in the imagination of
the honorable member from Lyme. But
another reason urged for this change in
the constitution is, that a refusal to do it
would strengthen the gveculiur institution
of the South. ,
Mi‘. H. did not see how slavery had any".
bad influence on Connecticut. It isnothiiig
to the purpose on this question. But “this
change will elevate the negroes.” This
experiment had been tried in sister States;
and failed of any good results. ut if we
fail to pass this resolution,“we sliallexpose’
ourselves to the scorn of the world.” Is‘
this so’! Have we more wisdom than al‘
our fathers for 50 years ‘I Are we to be
intimidated by scorn’! Shall a small‘ minor-7 '
ity rule in this house, and the majority be’
put down I
Mr. Kellogg did notgunderstand that’
refusal to print as decisive against the‘
resolution. The amount of the resolution
is to take the necessary steps to erase the
word white from the constitution. No
one could well refuse to let the question
go to the people to pass upon.
Mr. Catlin was sorry Mr. Hollister had!
taken this matter so much to heart." It'-
was a harmless proposition. He did not
think any of the persons concerned felt
malice in their hearts. 'l‘hey were trying
to do a little courting to the third party,-,
and yet all have put it on the ground of
respect to these petitioners; because they
were numerous they were entitled to very’
much respect; he agreed to all this, he‘
agreed they ought to have a hearing. No’
one has said any thing to show that he’
himself was in favor of striking out the
word white when it came to that. For
himself he washeartily in favor of this,-
and made no hypocritical pretentious for
political purposes. If he should have the’
misfortune to be in the legisture of ’47,
he would be one of two thirds if they couldl
be found—to give the question to the peo-
ple, and then he should like to have each‘
man’s name on the back of his vote.
Mr. Kellogg was from principle in favor
ofthis change. Ifthere was any hypocrisy,»
he hoped the member from Windham‘
would clear his skirts of any liability to
such an imputation. _
Mr. Clark of Lebanon, was in favor of’
this resolution--even if,‘ it was unpopular.’
Mr. Kasson did not see any danger in’
entrusting this matter to our constituents.’
It would be unjust not to do as much as
this. Any other course would indicate if
distrust of the people. The Yeas and‘
Nays were ordered. Resolution passed‘.-
