THE wIFE's AppEAL.

What though, my love thy lip has lost The early smile of youth, When every word ii breathes for me Is tenderness and truth And # none else a charm can sec
 Upon thy eare-worn brow. loved thee in the flush of youth,
 But oh far better now And if at times tear will fail,
 Thy paiid cheek to see. Oh deem not that thine altered look Has grown less dear 10 me; But that to me t tells a tale
 Of days of anxious care, And grief and toll thou hear'st SO well, Which so lain would share. What if the ones who at my side,
 Launched on life's tickle sea, Have gained higher lot on earth
 Than have shared with thee Nor stately homes nor silken sheen
 Can win from me sigh; Thine heari. beloved is wealth enough Far more than earth can buy Perchance had fickle Fortune smiled, Our hearts had learned to roam, And found . charm in wealth and power, To win from Heaven and Home. But now, when all around is dark,
 Our souls at least are free, And trust me, love that mine Is strong
 To suffer all with thee

The recent news from England by the Yorkshire,
received by US exclusively, and published in We'd
nesday's Herald, has wheted the appetite Of the
community for the news by the Unicorn.
This vessel has now been at sea fifteen days, and
may be hourly looked for. Her news will be four
teen dayslater than that brought by the Yorkshire,
and VIII, in ell probability, contain the settled and
deliberately formed opinion OF the English public
and press, and perhaps, also, that Of Parliament on
the refusal of the American government to submit
the Oregon question to arbitration
The news will, therefore, be Of the utmost con-
sequence, from it's tone and character an opinion
may probably be formed OF the maintenance or
non-maintenance of peace between the United
States and England II will also accelerate or post
pone the forming of commercial enterprises which
have been suspended for a long time past.
The VS. viii be brought to this city by express,
and will probably be published in the Herald imme-
datey after it is received or as soon as in any 9TH

ocR CRY ELgcrfog--D syAtcArioss Some o!
fhepresent officers ofihe city are not acting, Of late
IN manner which will al ali condace TO their re-
election TO power, on the 18th OF April next. Our
readers will recolect the Aims House investigation
which took place few months since, and resulted
in the discovery of the fact that bad oil and worse
tea were purchased for the Aims House. at the rates
which should be paid for good articles Of the kind
Another interesting affair, somewhat of the same
nature, has OF late taken place in the charging OF
Mack Oakley, superintendent OF public buildings,
with gross abuse in the discharge of his various du.
ties. A communication to this effect was received
by the Board Of Aldermen on Monday evening,
from the Mayor. 1t appears that Mr.. Oakley has
been in the habito receiving riing sums, OF five,
ten or twenty dollars, from persons to whom he had
given contracts for city jobs In his examination
before the Mayor, Oakley stated that these sums
were received as recompense for the loan Of mo-
neys belonging TO the city, which he had made to
persons wishing to carry on contracts.
1t seems also that Mr.. Oakley has kept his ac-
counts with the city literally in very loose state,
upon pieces Of paper, and with pencil THE Mayor
NEST unhestatngly declares his belief that Mr..
Oakley had other account books, which have been
kept out Of sight. Mr. Oakley was dismissed from
his office by the Board OF Aldermen.
Weshou'd think the present Cooperation had done
enough to be able to retire upon their laures What
with the Aims House frauds, that OF Mr.. Oakley,
"them gloves" end variety of other small matters
Of the knd,we should think the people would be full
ly well satisfied Of their capacity and honesty as
public servants The fourteenth of April will, we
fear, make bad work with them.
In the meantime, too much praise cannot be
awarded to his honor the Mayor, who has not
feared to search out and expose these Frauds though
in his own party, but has diligently done his work
Ike an honest man and faithful magistrate. May
we never have a worse one.
The Mayor has now till the 18th of May next to
bring to Light more Of these rascally frauds. We
presume by that time he will have the city caaldron
pretty well cleaned out, so that the party who next
come into power can have clear field in which to
commence operations
