The heart that awakens to love's highest powers Is always the first that in bitterness mourns. Cold hearts that to passion can never awaken Escape all the ills disappointment can ; briotr, They gather no roses the leaves they have taken And never a thorn, for them .leaves a sting. . The acme of bliss, and the vale of true sorrow, - Are known but to hearts refined to ex cess. The sunlight of love some shadow must borrow, . And tear drops oft follow love's fondest caress. Yet who would forego the thorns of our sorrow, . When roses may scatter their petals of lover If grief comes to-day, joy waits for the morrow,. And sadness on earth ends in gladness above.

Cleveland, O., December 8. Three quarters of the large shipbuilding plant of ,the Globe' Iron Workson West River street, in thia city, was destroyed by fire this morning. Four large atoel vessels in process of construction were upon the stocks within a few feet of the burning building, but the ships were saved from damage. The loss is approximately fixed at $200,000, and it is probably covered by insurance. One thousand workmen were employed in the ship-yard and they will resume their work Monday. The rebuild-' ing of the plant will begin as soon as the insurance is adjusted. Earpose, aitnongn naving oeen ior iddentodo so by the landlord, is not guilty of trespass under section 1,120 Code.

The Senate, at 1.05 resumed the consideration of the tariff bill, beginning with Schedule B, which, covers earthenware and glassware. Messrs. Hoar and McPherson each reserved the right to off er some - amendments hereafter to glass and pottery items. No amendment, except as to two formal changes of phrase ology, was made to Schedule ;B, and the Senate proceeded to consideration of Sche dule O, relating to metals. . The discosBion was continued by Messrs. Aldricb, Harris, Hoar, Butler, Plumb, and Payne, but no vote was taken on the pend ing amendments,and the bill was laid aside, the progress during the day being .about eight pages.. ' Mr. Butler introduced a joint resolution Pnrnivtainv a nnnat.itntlnftnl amendment en larging the Presidential term of office to sixyears. Laid on the table. The Senate then at 3 o'clock adjourned till Monday. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. ; Mr. Caswell explained that the simple purpose of the direct tax bill was to refund to States and individuals who paid the tax, that portion of the duect tax which was col lected. After careful computation he was able to state that the bill carried $15,227, 632. This did not include the 15 per cent, commission allowed States, or parties who paid the tax. The amount to be cancelled, now unsettled, was $2,662,401. Mr: Oats, of Alabama, said that the first ground of his opposition to the measure was that there was no authority conferred upon Congress by the Constitution to pass the bill or to make the appropriation pro vided for. . He contended, not for a strict construc tion of the Constitution, but for an obser vance of it. The only way that the Con stitution could be preserved in its original integrity was for Congress to keep carefully and squarely within its grant of power. When the limitation was disregarded and the unbridled will of Congress substituted for it, people no longer had any guarantee of the rights reserved to the States and peo- Ele. Money collected under the act of 1861 ad been legally collected and expended for legal purposes of common defence; and the bill was, therefore, a donation, unjus tified by the Constitution. His second ob jection was that it was unjust in its provi sion?. Money collected from the people could never be returned to those who paid it; and at this late day it was impossible to restore it to those from whom it wbb taken It was urged as a reason for reimbursing the States that some of the States had never paid the tax. If it was the intention to pass this bill in order to equalize taxation then he insisted that Congress should go farther and refund the cotton tax and eorrect other abuses more glaring than had ever arisen ucder, the act of 1861.' He sent to the clerk's desk, nd had read for information a series of amendments, which he proposed to offer at the proper lime. The first re fund the cotton tax; the second permits persons who paid that tax to bring suit in the Court of Claims to recover the amount paid; the third revives the right of action in the Court of Claims, under the provi sions of the captured and abandoned pro perty act; and the fourth directs the Secre tary, ia making payment and settlement of the direct tax, to take into account and set off any amount due by any State to the United States under the act of June 23, 1836, "tu regulate deposits of public mo ney." Pending further debate the. Committee rd?e. Mr. Clements, of Georgia, from the Com mittee on Appropriation?, reported the Dis trict of Columbia appropriation bill, which was reforred to the Committee of the Whole. The House at 3 30 adjourned SENATE WAsniSBTN, D?c. 6. Senate not in session. nOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. A communication from the Secretary of the Navy, relative to the proposed estab lishment of a Naval Museum in Washing ton, was presented and referred. It was ordered that when the Bouse ad journ to-day it be to meet Monday next. Mr. Foran, of Ohio, from the Committee on Appropriations, reported the Invalid Pensions Appropriation bill. Committee of the Whole. Mr. Crisp of Gecrgie, from the Commit tee on Elections, submitted a report in the South Carolina contested election case of Smalls against Elliott, and H was placed upon the calendar. It finds io favor of the contestee, Elliott The minority resolution, presented by Mr. Rowell. of Illinois, and also placed upon the calendar, provides for the seating of Mr. 8m alls. The House then went into Committee of the Whole, Mr. McMillen, of Tenn, in the chair, on the private calendar, the busi ness being the Senate bill to incorporate the Nicaragua Canal Company. Mr. Hpinola, of New York, offered an amendment striking out the clause which authorizes the company to exercise such powers as have been conferred upon it by the government of Nicaragua If this waa to be a stock-jobbing affair, he said, the sooner it was known the better. He thought his amendment ought Ho prevail for the protection of those persons who expected to invest their dollars in the enterprise. No one knew what the agreement between Ni caragua and the company was. Mr. Cox, of New York, expressed his ig norance ot the facts upon which his col league predicated his statement, that this was a stock-jobbing affair. Stocks might be affected by it; be did not know. After a brief constitutional argument in support of the measure he urged the importance of its passage from a commercial standpoint Ho believed in extending American com merce; hclieved in following t09 Southern Cross. If there was one thing this coun try needed more than another it was a revival of its shipping interest. If it could not be done by domestic legislation let Congress give its enterprising citizens the a?gis of the republic to go out and draw to the United States the comme-ceof the world. (Applause )- Mr Farqubar, of Nsw York, remarked that if the amendment were adopttd, the bill would be like the play of Hamlet with Hamlet left out. Speakirg in advocacy of the measure, he declared that it would place in the hands of the United States the key of the South American and Indian trade. The coastwise trade has been con centrated in New Ensland and New York. Ho was willing that, in the rehabilitation of Southern commerce, New Orleans should strive for the prize of the two South Amer teas; and he hoped that when this bill should have passed such an impetus would be given to the coast marine of the South that, out of the iron and coal of Alabama, would be built the four thousand ton steam ers which would reap the triumph of com merce of Nicaragua, and place it in the lap of the South, Let the United States show to 4 tie Congress of the three Americas, which would soon HJtet in this city, that instead of the empty phraeeology.of . reso lutions of comity and good will, the gov ernment had opened to the two Americas south of the United States a high way cost ing one hundred millions of dollars, back ed up by the sentiment of the Fiftieth Congress. Applause - Mr. Weaver, of Iowa, regarded the mea sure as one of the most important which had been before Congress in a decade. The Nicaraguan canal would bear the same re lation to our commercial prosperity that the discovery of the Cape of Good Hope bad borne to the commerce of the mother coun try. : Mr. Holman, of Indiana, argued against the constitutionality of the measure, con tending that it was not authorized by the clause granting Congress power to regulate commerce. - In opposing the bill he pre dicted that if the bill passed In its present shape Congress would be asked in less than ten years to guarantee the bonds. Mr. Raynor, of Maryland-, found in the Constitution direct authority granted to Congress to pass such a measure as was pending. .. , . . Mr. Blount, of Georgia, found, in fact, that the company did not, seek a State charter, (which, he asserted, it was compe tent for it to do), a reason why the bill should receive careful and cautious exami nation and scrutiny.' - He predicted that the incorporators of the company (having the government committed to the enterpries) would come to a future Congress and ask the government to go further and maintain the enterprise by contributions. - -l Mr. Spinola's amendment was. rejected. Mr- Holman offered the following amend ment: "Provided, That nothing in this act shall be so construed as to commit the United States to any liability whatever, for or on account of said company; nor shall the United States be held in any wise liable or responsible in any form or by implica tion for any debt or liability; in any form which said' company, may , incur ;, nor be held - as guaranteeing any engagement or contract of said company, or as having as sumed any responsibility for the acts or proceedings of said company in any for eign country, or contracts or engagements' entered into in the United States?' . , - Pending a vote on - -the 'amendment:; the committee rose and the House at 4:S0 took a recess until 7:80, the evening session to toe for ; consideration of private pension bills. v.
