TO MY FRIEND. EV "BATTIK." For yean and years 'hy pleasant face Eauneed my wandering way, Wi'bout a hint of what, at last, Thy darling lips would say. And not one dim foreshadowing Os that great mystery. Now lying on us like a spell, SV is ever seen by me. How strange are all the ways of life! And. oh! hew full of fear! How surely trembling goes with love, And sorrow follows near. Ah! were we two to join our hards, And heart to heart to tell Os what thy fond words warmly paint, Oh! friend, it were not well. A moment’s joy, and years of pain; One smile, and many tears; Ciaspings and kisses,parting sighs, Then endless lonely years. This were the dear-bought happiness Thy granted wish would gain; And as I truly value thee, Thy wish mu t be in vain. CONCERT SINGERS STORY. BT SARAH f MAXXIXG. We had been talking of some noted celebrities in bis lire. He sat thoughtful for a moment, and then, looking up with a sudden sparkle in his eye, exchimed—•But you should have heard Constance. •And who was she?’ I asked. •Ah. I forgot. She died before you were born. It is a sad story, and yet I can tell it, if you wish.’ I drew my chair nearer, and prepared to listen. 'Some thirty years ago,’ he said, ‘I was the manager of a troupe of concert singers, called by my own name. We traveled over the Union, stopping oftenest in country towns and small cities.— At one of these, I was detained by the illness of my chief female singer. She left us, after a fcw days; and while I was at my wit’s end, not knowing where to look for another, I received a note, stating that a lady, wi b a very powerful and highly cultivated voice, had heard of mv dilemma and w ished to offer hc’self for the vacant place Ofccurse, I called on her at once. •I was astonished when she entered the room where I was waiting for her. I can’t tell what or who I expected to see but when a little, pale, sad looking creature almost a child glided in and stood before me, I rose from my seat and bowed, with as much awe as lithe Queen of En-'-xana had been there. She was far more self possessed than I, and making merely a business affair of it, soon turned to the piano, and began to sing. What a voice •he bad! Strong and powerful, vet at the same time liquid and sweet as a bird’s.— "k ou may well believe I lost no time in securing her services, at a liberal salary.— And then, for the first time, I saw a faint pleased smile pass over her wan little face. ‘Her first appearance was an immense success. She gave no other name than Constance, even to me, and the mystery that surrounded her, made every one curious to see her. The little, graceful fiotire stood alone upon the stage, at the end of the concert, with bouquets showering around her, but though she couriered and smiled, her dark, blue eyes wandered impatiently around, as if seeking for one who was not there. I noticed this in her every evening—and when the concert was over, she would go into her dressing room, and sob and cry like a little child. ‘GT course, all this mystery made us feel a deep interest in her. But she was so quiet, so dignified, and said so little to any sf the troupe, save in the way of business, that we could ask her no questions. •She had a favorite song—a pensive, touching t. eg. supposed to be addressed by a dying wife to a stern husband, which she was fond of singing, when alone, though never on the stage. But one night, when in the city of New York the audience applauded her rapturously, anu the cries of 'encore* were so loud, that she was forced to appear again. She did not repeat the song, however, but after a moments pause, began that ssd, though delicious strain. The audience held tl-.tir breath, and , is j looked cautiously through the curtain, I saw a geno tieman who had just entered a side box, more beside the stage, and lean forward towards her His face was pale as death and he seemed to tremble in every limb. Suddenly she looked up—her eves met bis—she faiteicd, aux! li.e song died unon her lips. •He leaped from i.;s box, straight upon the stage, while t; e su jience locked on, dumb with wond'-r

‘Constance —is it thus 1 find you? he asked, in a tone of anguish. Oh! my husband, you little know—‘she faltered, and then he caught her in his arms—for she was just about to fall. He knelt upon the stage and held her. The audience ■rose, to a man. and looked on with pity and respect. She looked up in his face wth a glance of unutterable love, and placed her white arms feebly round bis neck. He beut to kiss her—l was kneeling by her, then, and as their lips met — I saw she died.’ He pased and wiped away a tear. ■And is that all!’ I asked, with breathless interest. ‘All that I can tell you,’ he replied.— ■Her husband was almost broken-hearted but never cleared up the mystery that hunganund her. Her grave ([have often seen it) is in a beautiful country churchyard, but the marble monument has only that one name—‘Constance’ — upon it. A mystery she seemed, and such she must remain to me through life. But some day I shall hear her singing among the angels,’ he added quietly.— ‘I shall know her by the sweetness of her voice—and then—ail will be madeplain.’ A license a little out of Form. A license to marry is often wanted when it can’t be had, but poor ones is better than none when a man is in a hurry—viz, namely, to wit, the following: “In the early days of Texan independence and youth, an eccentric genius, still living and reigning, was clerk of one of the western counties. The village was in quiet secluded prairie, and the Squire pastured l.is cows on the broad acres around, bringing them home at night, and letting them go to grass in the morn- . ing He kept a bell on one of them to help him in finding them, but as lie was letting them loose tie perceived that the clapper of the bell was lost out, and, being unable to find it, Le made a substitute by making fast in the bell his office key. Not till he reached his office did it occur to him that he should want the key. but now finding himself locked out. he betook himself to other matters, proposing to recover the key at night. About noon a rough-and-ready young Texan, in buckskin dress, cameinto town inquiring riding far the clerk, scared him up and asked for a marriage notice.’ ‘Sorry Ican’t accommodate you to day ‘>ut it’s no go.’ ‘Why not’ I’m going to be spliced tonight, and I must have it whether or no.’ ‘But the fact is.’ said the clerk, ‘my ffice is looked up, and my cow has gone awav with the key!’ ‘The cow! — what does the cow want with the key!’ ‘So the old fellow told the whole story and the two set off for the prairie to find the cattle and get the key. But the more they looked the lesr they found, and finally had to give it up. A bright thought struck the clerk of ti e county. ‘IT! fix you out!’ said he, and the young Texan jumped a rod so tickled was he to know that he was to be fixed out of the fix he was in. They proceeded to a store close by the offi e, and the country : scribe indited the following autogiaph: — ‘Republic of Texas: To al) who shall see this present greeting: Whera« I, Clerk of this County, having this morn- ! ing unthoughtedly tied my office-key as a clapper in my cow’s bell; and whereas the said cow has gone astrav to parts unknown, bearing with her the said key, and therefore the said key is non inventus est —that is can’t be had: and whereas one Abner Barnes has made application to me for marriage license, and the said Abner persists that he cannot wait until the cow comes back with the key. but is compelled, by the violence of his feelings and the arrangements already made to get married: T, erefore. t -se presents are to command any person legally authorized to celebrate the rights of matrimony to join the said Abner Barnes to Rebecca Downs; and for so doing this shall be your sufficient authority.. ‘Given under my hand and private seal on the door step of my office—the seal of the office being locked up. and mv cow having gone away with the k-v—this fourth day of October.

In becoming the reporter of the debates of ; Congress 1 deemed it proper to -ay that the Globe would never b>» a partisan paper. This, pledge will not be forfeited by introducing as a contribution to history the political traits of character which distinguished the public men ofinvtime.

But in regard to persons , and events which go to make up history. I hope i to make the Globe an honest memoir; and with that view I am resolved to speak independently of all parties. The CoxGRtsstONAL Globe axd Appendix will . contain a report of all the debates in Congress, revised bv the sp-akers, the messages of the ; President'of the United States, the annual re- 1 ports of the heads of the executive departments, | the laws passed during the session, and copious i indexes to all. They will be printed on a dou-1 ble royal sheet, in book form, royal quarto siz-. each number containing sixteen pages.

As I hare sold to subscribers that numberof words for six dollars, it follows that they have paid less than six and one-half cents forevery lO’.'lOi* word I have furnished them, while I have paid mv reporters l> 29 for every 2.397 words, of this work-in manuscript?

The next session will be, withou' doubt, an unusual interesting one: as it will be the first under a new administration, and severalcompl-'X questions must be disensi sed in it—for ex unple. the currency.
