THE LAST CARD.
The Glc5e has seen fit to address u.s.
And what its design we don't know;
A reply to some charge il Processes,
And makes n false statement or so.
1t threatens US serious evil,
And founds its illusions on this,
That its editor, foreman or devil,
Had certainly acted amiss.
For the whole OF the five minute speeches
Which Mr.. Orr made in one day,
Were collected together, and each IN
Paraded in solid array.
We thought that the Globe was abusing
The fairness of public debate;
But we never had thought of accusing
Mr.. Rives Of defrauding the State.
We never supposed Mr.. Orr did
Rely on the taste or address
Which Rives or his columns afforded
To fit his remarks for the press.
But the gist of our charge is repeated:
The speeches of Orr were condensed
And placed where the vision was greeted
As coon as the reader commenced.
II was wrong in advance of debate,
Thus 10 SANDER and blackcn or fame,
Prostituting the pay of the State
To defeat our most moderate claim.
Mr.. Rives boasts his power to consume,
and threatens in menacing tones
mat ne ii tear an old speech from the tomD,
And rattle its terrible bones
Mr.. Rives, we've no doubt, is a trump;
Both author and orator too;
III he chooses his Uranium TO thump,
There's no telling what thing nc may do.
Let him drag his Jacksonian address,
Which we read, and thought trite and verbose,
From the Corner Stone" where we confess
II were well for his fame 10 repose
II IL carry the orator down
To poeterity, let il be 80;
We envy him not the rcnown
Which awaits him wherc'er he may go.
II his vengeance still further should sweep,
His wrath will ne'er dcprecate;
He may let the whole world take peep
At the sccrets Of which he doth pirate.
Though sorry readers TO bore
With the quarrcs of Mr.. John Riyes,
Yet, IL he comes back any more,
He'll be sick of the fare he receives
We defy him and all Of his works;
Let him venture our acts 10 compare,
Our or the late Mr. Burkc's-
We will make Mr.. John C. Riyes stare.
Reluctantly we shall appear,
And engage in this deadly combat;
For whilst Wentworth mesaces rear,
Rivcs may come up and knock us down fiat

Died, on the 18th inst, at her residence in Vir-

on those high attributes Of womanly nature which
inspired in all who knew her that aficchonate adj

which yelled from the common gaze requirements

she found her happiness in habitual forgetiulncss

a kindly word or deed Of hers could reach

youth and lite simple functions, and entered on the
more strenuous duties Of her married life, the

IMPORTANT ARREsr.-We stated on Tuesday
morning that ON Sunday night, at late hour, Mr..
Payne Todd and MIR. X. j. Wharton had been
| knocked down in the public street by couple of
| rutians. On Tuesday evening, a man by the name
of Thomas Harry arrested by officer Handy,
charged with an assault upon the watchman at
Wizards hotel. Upon his being brought before
Justice Smith, however, Mr.. Wharton was sent
for and at identified him Of the persons
by whom the assault of Sunday night had been
made. Harry was accordingly committed to appear
before the criminal court in default of bail in the
sum Of $4,000. His companion is now known
and il is believed cannot escape the clutches of the
law.
