POETRY.
FROM THE OLIVE BHANCH.
“WE MEET AGAIN IN HEAVEN.”
'Though far from thee, nor time nor space,
Our hearts can e’er divide,
While thought recalls thy last embrace,
Or brings thee to my side,
Though storms and clouds around me lower.
Thy smile at parting given,
Will cheer the dark and dreary hour,
Till we shall meet in Heaven.
While memory lasts, ’twill bring to view
The form I loved to sse.
And oft recall the last adieu
So kindly whispered me,
Those words will never be forgo!.
Or kiss of farewell given ;
Their memory still shall buoy me up,
Till we shall meet in Heaven.
What though no distance rolls between,
Fate dooms these hearts to sever,
Until we meet in worlds unseen,
To part no more fori'ver!
No longer then will I repine.
Each sin on earth forprivon.
How sweet the thought, thou'It yet be mine
\VTien we ehall meet in Heaven
In Heaven what raptures fill the breast!
We meet to pnrt no more;
No mortal can dis'urb the rest
Of that Celestial shore,
Then let me wander where I will,
W’hereV r by fate I’m driven,
T'his thought alone will cheer me still.
We meet aiirain in Heaven!

From the Ladies’ Garland.
THE FIRST AXD LAST QUARREL.
BY T. S. ARTHUR
John Thomson’s wife had a had fashion of get
ting out of patience with her servants at meal time,
nnJ looking cross and talking cross to her domes
tics when her huskmd came home, with the pleas
ing hope upper-most in his mind of a quiet retreat
from the toils and troubks of business. John
Thompson^ like many of the John Smiths and John
Jonses, had rather a troublesome business to man
age, and it cost him many hours’ sad thoughts each
day in pondering over the ways and means of get
ting safely over three o’clock. But all these per
plexing cares were locked up in his own bosom, and
when he turned his face homewards, it was always
with a strong resolution to be cheerful, and make,
as far as he was concerned, home a pleasant spot to
all
But he was often sadly griovcd to find that from
some cause or oth^^r, his wife had sundiy and great
trouble with her domestics. Things hardly ever
went right, and she was often in a very unhappy
humor. Patient as another Job, however, John
Thompson never protested agamst the domestic
prerogative of l^eing cross and scolding. True,
whenpvcr Mrs. John Thompson would cut him ofl'
rather short, and say things to him in an unkind
tone of voice, he would have his own thoughts
about the matter. But he said nothing. He would
not, for the world, have wonnd. d the feelings of
Mrs. John Thompson, although she seemed to have,
at times, but little regard for his.
Now the reader must not, for a moment, suppose
that John Thompson’s better half was not a loving
wife. She was affectionate to a fauk, when in the
humor; and kiss, and ‘*my dear,” and talk love to
him by the hour. True, she would feel a little an
noyed at his phlegmatic temper, for he was always
as a lake, over whose bosom no breeze ever stirred.
Her little endearments he would recieve as patient
ly as could be, yet all the while he w’ould be think
ing of some exhibition of wrong temper of which,
may be, a day or an hour before, she had been guil
ty. But we must introduce them more in form to
the reader.
One morning in May, and it happened to be a
very ?uhry morning, Mr. Thompson'examined his
bank notices, and fcund that hf- had thrco ’honsand
dollars to pay. He did not look at his bank look
for he renaembercd so distinct!)^ ^hat he had checi:-
ed to within five dollars the day before.
“And now what is to be done?” he said aloud,
as he sat down in a chair to collect his thoughts.
“Any thing over to-day. Mr. Thompson?” said
a neighbor advancing towards the disk, near which
he was seated.
“ Short three thousand dollars!replied Mr.
Thompson, mechanically.
“No chance for me, then,” said the neighbor,
withdrawing on the instant.
“ Humph ! I should think notj” soliloquised i\Ir.
Thompson, with an ironical smile. “ But what must
I do? Borrow, of course; that’s the only remedy.
But where shall I borrow ? that’s the question. 1
owe two thousand dollars borrowed money now,
and to-morrow half of that must be paid—I’m hard
up with all my borrowing friends, except such as
are hard up themselves. What shall I do.?”
But Mr. Thompson, like a philosopher as he
was, readily came to the conclusion that sitting
there was not going to get his note out of bank;
so he sallied foith, still undetermined as to how he
should raise the money. Being in the dry goods
line, he took the south side of Alarket street, and
coinmLnced a line of calls from Frederick street up.
‘•How's the mon’-y market to-day?'’ was his
first salutation to a young man he iiad often accom
modated.
“ right enough! I want five hundred dolIarG.”
“ Nothing to spare, of course!”
“ Not a dollar.”
Then I can t stop here. Good morninT.”
Any thing ovei tolav? ’ he asked next door
“ Twenty dollars, if that will help you any.”
Can’t you spare a hundred by one o’clock ?”
“ Very likely, call about that time and if we
take in as much you shall have, it”
“Very well,” said John Tompson, entering it
upon his memorandum book,
“Can you spare five hundred doij^rs today?”
was asked at his next place of entry,’^
No; but w-e can two hundred.’'
“ That’ll help a little.”
“ But its in Ohio funds.”
“ Ah! that is another matter. But stay, keep it
for me until two o’clock; if I can’t do better I’ll
take it.
“ Very well, it is at your scrvice.”
After entering, this in his memorandum book,
Mr. Thompson went on his way.
“ Easy as an old shoe here, I suppose. How
much can you spare to-day ?” he said carelessly, as
he entered a store where he knew there was al
ways pknty, but hard to get at.
“ Tight as a boot to-day. We have ten thousand
dollars to pay.”
“ Good morning,” said Thompson, who under
stood the evasion.
“ Can you let me have that hundred dollars to
day? I shall need every cent I can raise,” he said
as he went into another store.
“ Not if you can spare it longer.”
“You shall have it longer and welcome, but I
must raise three thousand dollars to-day, and don’t
know no more than the man in the moon where it
is to c >nie from.”
“ I will let you have it, then, by one o’clock.”
This was also entered among the m miorandums.
“ How are you off for the metal to-day ?” was
asked of another retailer.
“ Nothing over to-day, Thompson ; sorry for it!”
and the man turned to his desk and went on w'ri-
tnig.
“ Have you a thousand dollars out of town mo
ney to-day?” he asked of a partner in a large do
mestic house in Sharp street, for he had got up this
kigh.
“ Come in, and I will see.” After running over
a large bundle of notes, and selecting from them a
pretty respectable quantity, the merchant turned to
Thompson and said;
“ Here is one thousand dollars Wheeling and
Pittsburg, which you can have for a week—and
five hundred Louisville, which you may have for
two weeks.”
“ Can’t you say any better than that ?”
These are the best terms. AVe can usually
work it off’ even better. I^ut if it will accommo
date you an}", you are welcome to it.”
“ I will take it then, said Thomp.son, eagerly
clutching the money, and passing his two checks,
dated one and two weeks ahead.
He was now pretty well through with all the
business friends upon whom he could call, and lie
returned to his store to take soundings. The day
had proved int('nsely hot, and on his return he
found himself completely exhausted. It was past
twelve o’clock, and as he fixed his eyes npon the
face of a large clock, ticking away in one corner
of the store, the minute hand seemed to move with
a strange rapidity.
“ What is to be done now ?’’ he said half despair-
ingly.—“ O, there is my friend G in I loward
street, who is generally pr tty easy; I must see
him.” So oif he hurried up street, and to his great
disappointment, found G was not in.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour lie came
back, without havinrr soon him. It l ickcd now Jjut
a quarter of one. The second persjn up>>n whom
he called, promised to let him have one hundred
dollars at one o’clock, so he went in there. The
store was full of customers, and his friend seemed
to care more about attending to them than loan
ing money. After v/aithig ten minutes, Thompson
moved towards the door, saying as he passed out.
‘ I’ll drop in aq-aiii!’
“ Very well/’ said the man, without alluding to
the known cause of Mr. T's. errand.
He next called upon the friend who was to have
returned the borrowed money, but he fouiid it im
possible to raise over fifty. The two hundred dol
lars that had been promised—Mr. had gone to
dinner, and left no word with his cltik about it!
Thompson still was twelve himdred and fifty dol
lars short and in one ho?ir fJie bank would close.
His bill book showed the exislLnce of several bills
receivable amounting to seven >r eight thousand
dollars, maturing in short dates, drawn by business
men, good and true. All the banks had ceased dis
counting, and those, consequently, h.'.d turned down
at the board, and four handed back to lum. Vis
ions of three and four per cent, a month now’ began
to float before iiis mind ; and ren;lered desperate,
he selected notes to the amount of fifteen hundred
dollars, and proceeded to the ofiice of a nof;d bro
ker, who received him with a cold nod.
I want to get these notes done, Mr. P
INIr. P went over them very slowly, n^mark-
ing as he went, or rather dropping a few words at
a time, as if talking to himself—rather ”—‘-too
long to run,”-—“ another name,”—&c. &c.
If you can get another good name on these, I
think 1 can get them done for you.”
“ It’s too late to talk about another name, I must
have the money at once. ”
“ The drawer of these notes is rather ticklish, it
is thought. If they were stronger there would be
no difiicu]t3^ Don’t you think you could easily
get your friend to put his name upon it?”
“ No—he is gone to his dinner, and I have no
tnr.e to lose. If you think you caii’t get them done
I ini;.st go to Mr. C
“I’ll try my best for y.u. Come in hah‘ an
hour.”
In the interim, Mr. Thompson went to an ex
change office, and got his money discounted This
was done at a loss of fifty dollars.
True to the minute, a quarter before tliree Mr
Thompson was at Mr. P 's ofTice. Mr. 1^
was not there. He sat for fiv'e minutes in a .state
of mental torture which few' can imas'ino except
those who have sufit^ed a like iufiiotion, when Mr.
P. entered.
Have you got them done for me?” said ]\Ir.
Thompson eagerly.
“ No, I have not,” said the broker, coldly, - T could
find but one man who would do them ;U all, and
his charge was higher than 1 felt willinir to con
tract to pay, before I saw jrou.”
lip ncL-9” 1''
gerly.
“ Three and a half per cent, a month.”
Mr. Thompson groaned aloud. lie looked at
his watch, it lacked eight minutes of three.
“ Can you get it in time?”
“ I will give you the money at once, and can get
it from him myself”
“ Then let me have it quick.”
•• The calculation was made; and as the notes had
an average of two months to run, the discoutit w*as
seven per cent., which added to the brokers com-
mii^ion of one per cent., took oil'from Mr. Thomp
son’s hfteen hundred dollars, the round sum of one
hundred and twenty dollars.
Tne clock struck three just as iVtr. 7’hompson
set his foot upon the steps of the bank. His note
s.ifely in his possession, he retired to his store, and
afier entering up the cash and making the necessa
ry memorandums of borrowed money, started for
homo. His head ached badly, and he felt feverish.
Visoins of home and an hour’s retirement then came
up in his thoughts. Ho remembered the pleasant
smile with which his wife had parted with him in
the morning, and the sweetly uttered -‘come home
soon, dear father, ’ of his little prattling boy. If
ever home is sweet to man, it is after the rackinr
anxieties of such a day as that through which Mr
Thonipson had passed ; and he turns tovrard it with
a feeling akin to that of the tempest tossed mariner,
when he turns his prow towards the land of his
nativity. Nothing is so calculated to sour the mind
of man, thus circumstanced, and make home un
pleasant to him, as to find the little domestic trials
all operatmg td make his wife irritable and out of
temper. His own anxieties have been of a charac
ter scf important to the peace and well-beii>g of ins
family, that the troubh'S incident to domestic duties
seemed like trifles light as air’ in comparison.
“What'does he ask?” said Mr. Thonipson, ca-
and to find his home made unpleasant on a^-Coatvt
of them, is more than he had looked for, and more
than he can well bear. For the sake of his wife’s
peace of mind, he breathes not his own difficulties,
and puts on a cheerful face, while his feelings are
under a cloud. To find her unwilling to bear her
part, and constantly marring his domestic comforts
by complaints or sour looks, tends to irritate and
discourage him. It is not to be w'ondered that
some, under such circumstances, become cross, or
neglectful of their families. But let us follow Mr.
Thompson home to dinner
On entering the parlor, he saw at a glance, that
something was wrong. There was a dark scowl
upon the brow of Mrs. Thompson. She rang the
bell for dinner without uttering a word, and after
sundry delays, it was served up in about half an
hour from the time Mr. Thompson came in. Scats
were taken at the table in profound silence. On
the part of Mr. Thompson there was no desire to
speak, far he knew that all that w'as wanted w’as
but a single word, when the avalanche w*ould break
through all its barriers, and he had no desire to
witness its fury. But his heart felt like lead in his
bosom. His silence, however, w’as not to prove an
antidote. There was no salt upon the table.
“ No salt upon the table. I declare,” said Mrs.
Thompson, in a high pitched voice, ringing her ta
ble bell violently, “I never can get the table set
right.”
The salt cellars were brought, and Nancy re
ceived a sound beating for her carelessness.—
Scarcely had she got back into the kitchen, when
it was discovered that there were no large spoons
upon the table, and, with sundry exclamations of
di.squietude of mind, the bell was rung again.
“ I can tell you what it is, Nancy,” began Mrs.
Thompson, as the domestic entered,—“ I’ve no no
tion of having things done after this fashion.—
Here’s not a single spoon upon the table; nor no
water either, as I live, Nancy, this is too bad ! I
won’t put up with it.” Nancy disappeared, and
Mrs. 'I’hompson continued;
'i'he fact is, Mr. Thompson, Fm over done, and
compl'.'tly worn out. I don’t see a bit of peace of
my life. You don’t seem to think it any thing, but
I only wish you had it to do. Men think our work
nothing.”
‘•Why, what is the. matter, my dear? It was:
easy enough to get the salt, and !he spoons, and the
water, without getting into a fever aijout them.”
For the first time in his life, Mr. Thompson j
spoke in a reproving tone, and on the instant his I
Letter half took tire
“(letting into a fever about it? Who’s getting
into a fever? Mr. 'riiomjison, what do you mean?”
“Just what 1 say, Mrs. Thomp:ion. That it was
easy enough to get the things wanted without los
ing temper.”
ho lost temper? I'd like to know’that. I
don t like such insinuations, and won’t put up w’ith
them, y ou men tiiink w’e never have any trouble.
\ ou get up in the morning, and have every thing
to your hand, and go off to your business, and come
iioine again, and every thing is done for you.”
And with a very bad grace, sometimes, too,” re- J
joined Mr. 'riiompson. This was too much for
Mrs. Thompson to bear; and bursting into tears,
she left tiie table and retired to her chamber. It
was sometime before Mr. Thomj)Son’s irritated feel
ings wouM allow him to follow his wife, but he
soon yiel led to better thoughts, and slowly ascended
the stairs that led to the chamber. He found his
wile lying upon the bed sobbing hysterically.—
hat to do, he did not exactly know, but his better
feelings had returned, and as he was heartily sorry
for what he had said, he felt that it w’as necess’ary
to do something. He lir.-'t of all called her tender
ly by her name, but she made no answer. This
again irritated hin.i; he had no idt-n of beint^ trifled
witli. He was himself a straight forward kind of
a man, and when he so ofTer^ terms as to speak
kindly, he very naturally thought Mrs. Thompson
ought to mef t him half way.
“Sarah!” he said once more, in a tone slightly
modified from its jieculiar expression of tenderness.
But there was no reply. “Sarah!” he again re
peated, in a voice still affectionate, and a little loud
er But still there was no answer. Again his evil
genius overcame him, and he said roughly;
“ Sarah, if you think to j)lay the fwl with me,
you arc mistaken. I have borne your ill humors
long enough, and now you must change a liltle for
my accommodation, or there will be trouble in the
wigwam. 1 have spoken out at last what has been
bailing up a long time. Home h«s ceased to be a
pleasant ]dace to me, and all because of your cloudy
brov»", and continual fault findit.g. ■^col 1 your ser
vants in the kitchen and Wear your frown to them
if they do wrong; but don’t punish me with their
mis lemeanors. And now I am going to the store—
I shall expect, when I return at night, a pleasant
er reception than I generally get: so good by.”*
iMrs. Thompson had remained .silent, when spo
ken to by her husband, for the amiable purpose of
punishing him, by ex’citinghis sympathies to a pain
ful d(^gree ia her behalf, but in this he had foiled
her. And now that he had really gone, for she
heard the street door bang after him, she began to
think a little soberly of the consequences of such a
state of things, if continued. She really loved her
husband, although often disposed to he fretful to
wards him when things went wrong in her domes
tic concerns.
Pride Avhispered many spirited thoughts in her
ear, but the ground work of real good sense that
was at the bottom of her character, hushed into si
lence the insidious suggestions. To win her hus
band back from this strange mood had become her
ruling desire, long before the hour of his return
had arrived: and when the door hell rang at dusk,
she was instant to answer it, and recieve liim wuth a
caltn, afiectionate, but sad smile; for she could not
banish from her heart the consciousness that he was
angry with her, and not without a cause.
Mr Tiiornpson was evidently taken by surprise.
He had not prepared himself for such a reception.
He had expected coolness for two or three days,
and h- had nerved himself to go through it like a
man. He had resolved, also, to conquer at all ha
zards. He did not speak, at the moment, but took
her hand, and with a kind pressure, led her into
the room and seated himself beside her on the sofa.
“Sarah,” ho said in a tone of great kindness,
“ you have no doubt thought my conduct to-day
stiange. Let me explian it to you. I have ^great
troubles in my business, and often distressino" anxie
ties. Particularly in these times of unexampfed com
mercial difficulties, 1 find it almost impossible, even
with the greatest sacrifices, to get along. But witli
none of these things have I wished to trouble you.
But you have acted differently towards me. Your
difficulties with your domestics have irritated you
and you have too often allowed your feelings of ir
ritation to expend lyemselves upon me. Often when
a little attention on your part would have made eve-
ry thing go right, you have trusted to servants you
kne\v to be careless, and then disturbed the plea
sures of a meal by scolding them, or grumblino-
through it on account of your difficulties.
My dear Sarah, this is wrong. This morninn- I '
had greater difficulty to get my note out of ?he '
bank than ever, and after running through the hot
sun ani enduring ail kinds of mortifying deni:i|gj
in my attemptsi to borrow money, had, in the end,
to sacrifice one hundred and seventy dollars, more
than I now make in a month, to get money from a
heartless broker . The clock struck three as I en
tered the bank. Two minutes later, and my note
would have been protested, and I ruined.
“ With a violent head-ache and burning with a fe
ver, caused by great mental excietment, I came home
at dinner time, anxious for a little quiet of mind, to
recover myself. But when I found you ready to
annoy me about some trifling neglect of the servant,
I cotild not endure it. I should not have spoken if
I had reflected a moment, but it may be as well.”
Mrs. Thompson made no answer, but twined her
arms around the neck of her husband, and looked
up into his face with mild, repentant eyes, that
were running over w’ith tears. It was their first and
last quarrel.
Marriage.—One of the most remarkable features
of this extraordinary institution is, the successive
changes it undergoes in the course of its history.
When the young husband and wife first enter upon
their new relation, how little do they foresee what
is before them. As they take possession, for the
first time, of their new house, and enjoy its cheer
ing aspect, its regularit}’- and quiet, and its expres
sion of domestic peace and joy, hoAV little do they
anticipate the trials and vicissitudes, the deep and
unseen fountains of joy and sorrow, w’hich lie in
their future way ! In a few years how changed I
One after another has been added in various w’ays
to the company which began only wdth two, until
at length they find themselves presiding over a nu
merous circle of children, and relatives and domes
tics; the father and mother both involved in re
sponsibilities, from which they would hav’e alto
gether shrunk, had they anticipated them at the be
ginning. In a few years this happy circle must
be broken in upon and .scattered. Death comes in
and makes one and another his prey ; others gradu
ally arrive at maturity, and leave their father’s roof
to seek other homes, and to return no more to the
ark which sheltered them at first; and, at last, the
father and mother are left alone, to spend their de
clining years at their solitary fireside, to look back
upon scenes of activity, and trial, and enjoyment,
which can never return. Such is the outline of the
history of thousands of families.
Comparing Possesions.—A gentleman one day
took an acquaintance upon the leads of his house,
to show him the extent of hi.s possessions. Wa
ving his hand about, “There,” said he, “that is my
estate.” Then pointing to a great distance on the
other side—“Do you see that farm?” “Yes.’”
“Well, that is mine.” Pointing again to the other
side—“ Do you see that house? “ Yes.” “ That
also belongs to me.” Then said his friend—“ Do
you see that little village out yonder?” “Yes.”
“ Well, there lives a poor woman in that village,
who can say more than all this.’' “Ay, what can
she say ?” “ ^Vhy, she can say. - Christ is mine.’”
He looked confoundid and said no more.
Street Sccne.—A gentleman pushin ' down the
street in hot haste; a ragged urchin running after
him.
“Mithter! Mithter! O, Mithter! I thay—Mithter.”
“Are you calling me, boy
“ Yeth, thir; I thwow what hurry you ith in.”
“ Well, speak quick, what do you want? I’ve no
time to epare.*’
“Ith yon going down threet?*’
“To be sure, vou little dunce—what do you
want ?”
‘‘Why, mother thent me out to hunt our old
thpeckled hen, and if you thee lier, I wish you’d
catoh her for me. Coth. you thee. I’m tired a look
ing ibr her."
•’ Pat, are the d.iys any longer in Ireland than in
this country?” “ Longer! aye, you may well say
it; and not only longer, but there are a great many
more of them.”
Kxtraord'niar]/ Cat.—A cat of extraordinary in
telligence, sciys a writer in Bentley, was lately seen
feeding a kitten with starch to make it stand up
right.
Dig' potatoes, lay stone wall, peddle tin ware, do
any thing that is honest and useful, rather than be
idle.
Marriage generally improves the character of wo
man ; not only becaui^e it puts her under the best
possible tuition, that of the affections, and affords
scope to her active energies; but because it gives
her high aims, and a more dignified position in*soci-
etv!
An Arabian having bronfrlit a blush to a maiden's
cheek by the earnestness oi' his gaze, said to her:
“My looks have planted roses in your elieeks—
why forbid me to gather them ? The law permits
him who sows to reap the harvest.”

PROSPECTUS.
The publishers of the Globe have recently given
to the country an exposition of the motives which
prompted the attempt by the Federal party to pros
trate their establishment, by the lawless abrogalioa
of their contract as Printers to the Senate. Thev
showed that there were already six Federal news
papers—to which a seventh is about to be added—
published at Washington—all devoted to the dis
semination of Federal principles, and the del^ncoof
Federal measures. And to make this overwhelm
ing battery of Federal presses at tlie seat of gov
ernment tell with the more effect throughout the
Union, the character of the Globe was to be tarnish
ed, its means impoverished, and its political influ
ence destroyed, by a sweeping denunciation of in-
famy on the part of the Federal leaders in the Sen
ate—b}’ throwing the dead weight of an expendi
ture of ^40.000 in preparation to do the Congress
ional work, on the hands of its publishers, (the prin
ters whose contract "was violated.) and by having
this whole work of defamation and ruin accomplish
ed by the judgment of the Senate of the Union to
give it the sanction of the highest tribunal known
to our country. The work was done by a caurus
packed majority of Federalists, and the Editor.>of
the Globe are left to sustain their establishment by
Ll>e patronage they may rccieve from political friends
for the papers they publish. We will not ask or re
ceive the sort of lumping contribution by which the
banks and Federal politicians sustain tlieir presses.
We w’ill abandon the publication of the Globe, it'it
cannot be supported by the regular subscription
price of the paper. If such of our Democratic
friends whose circumstances do not justity a sab-
scription to the daily or semi-w’eekly-paper, will pa
tronize the cheaper publications issued by us—the
Extra Globe—the Congressional Globe, and tlie
Appendix—vre shall be enabled to maintain ashere-
tokire, our corps of Congressional Reporters at the
cost of $$3,000 per annum, and to draw to our ai'I
some of tlie ablest pens in our country. tru>t,
under these circumstaces, and at a time wlien tlie
greatest interests of the country, and its future des
tiny, are put at stake upon the events with whici)
the first year of' the present Administration is preg
nant, that no individual who has the cause of De
mocracy at heart, will hesitate to meet this appeal,
when at the same time he will feel assured that this
trifling tax for his own advantage, w’ill sustain in
triumph at Washington the long-tried and fai:hful
press of his party.
The EXTRA GLOBE will be published weekly
for six months, commencing on Wednesday, t?ie
19th May, and ending on the 19th November nest,
making twenty-six numbers, the last of which will
contain an index. Each number will contain six
teen royal quarts) pages. It will contain principally
political matter* The political aspect and bearing
of the measures before Congress during the special
session will be f'uily developed, and when the pro
ceedings arc considered of much interest to the pub
lic, they will be given at length.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and AP'
PENDIX v. ill begin with the extra session of Con
gress, to conimence on Monday, the 31st of May
next, and will be continued during the session.
The Co.xgressional Globe will give an impartial
history of the proceedings of both Houses of Con
gress ; and the Appendix w’ill contain all the speech
es on both sides of important subjects, at full length,
as written out or revised by the members themselves.
1 hey W’ill be printed as fast as the business of tlic
two Houses furnishes matter for a number. It is cer
tain that we will publish more numbers of each than
there will be weeks in the eesson. They will be is
sued in the same formas the Extra Globe, and a
copious index to each. Nothing but the proceedings
and speeches of Congress will be admitted into the
Congressional Globe or Appendix.
These works being printed in a suitable form for
binding, with copious indexes, v.’ill form a vauable,
indeed, a necessary, appendage to the library of the
statesman and politician, giving, as they do, at an
extremely moderate price, a complete epitome of
the political and legislative history of the period.
Subscriptions for the Extra Globe should be
here by the 26th May, and for the Congressional
Globe and Appendix by the 6th June next to insure
all the numbers.
