THE DAILY TIMES.
TWILIGHT ON THE WATER

TWILIGHT ON THE WATER,
See soft-footed twilight creep,
Into the bosom of the stream;
Heavily the shadows sleep;
Yonder oaks in voiceless dream.
Bend as with found amaze,
While another self they see,
Leaf and twig ofbranching tree,
Nodding to their noddng gaze,
Only on them broods the change
OF stiffness fixed and strange.
Silently tie wondrous past
Der the forms OF faded life
Doth its twilight shadows cast;
All its cares and wnd-lossed strife
Are reflected here again,
Real as in days gone by;
Yet in softened hues they lie,
Painless images of pain,
STEPPED by their unearthy charm
In trance oil holy calm.
O!sweet world of memories,
Cleaning in the peaceful heart;
Passing time the shadow is,
Thou our truer being art;
Loves and joysthough seen no more,
La clear decps below the wave,
AS the sea-nymphs in their cave
Bulded on the ocean floor,
An unwrinkled, deathess race,
Have their blisstul DIV sling place.

A very painful tragedy took place at Oborlin,
Ohio few days since, which was the natural
consequence of the peculiar institutions" ofthat
place. One negro, in that place, lately shot
another, from jealousy of the love of a white wo-
man. The person shot, whose name was Mann,
had, through the influence of the Collegiate In
stituton there, married Miss Louisa Pearce, a
white woman. A discarded suitor, another black
man, by the name of Riggs, shot the favored lover
through the head, killing him instantly. lie has
been arrested.

The MILITARY ASYLUM COMMISSIONERS made
a visit yesterday to Mount Vernon for the pur-
pose OF examining the local suitabeness of that
nterestingpace, or its contiguous grounds, for the
purpose of the proposed Asylum for invalid and
superanuated soldiers. The associations of that
venerated spot would impart to it peculiar fil-
ness for such an institution; and should it be
thought, by the eminent officers entrusted with
the selection, to fulfil the other conditions required
in the selection of site for the Asylum the choice
of Mount Vernon will be gratifying to the whole
country.
The President of the United States and several
Members Of the Cabinet accompanied the Commits
sioners on their excursion to Mount Vernon.

JOHN HOWARD PAYNE.-THE CoNsULsH1p AT
IUNIs, ETc.-We are grati6ed to see, among the
list of Consular appointments recently made by
President Fillmore, the name of John Howard
Payne, Esq, as Consul at I'unis. Having resi-
ded many years of his life abroad, speaking seye~
raj languages, perfectly conversant with dip lomat-
lc usages, and most amiabe, accomplished, and
kind hearted gentleman, Mr.. Payne will do honor
to any foreign appointment, particularly at Tuns
MI Payne held the position some years ago, and
had endeared himself very much to the people
among whom he resided, when he was most I'M
Justly recalled to make room for some political
friend of one Of the Secretaries of former i'd
ministraton.
This appointment, and that of Mr. Goodrich to
Paris shows that better feeling prevails at
Washington than formerly, and that the President
will notice the claims of our literary as well as
political citizens. This is as it should be- The
Consulate at Tunis is a diplomatic one, and SAL
ary is attached to it of Ss2 800. The Consul at
Tunis is the highest American functionary in Mo-
rocco.
The career of Mr. Howard Payne has been raost
singular one. tie native OF New York and there
are many OF our readers who will remember the sensa-
ton he produced when he made his debut upon the New
York stage, at the age of 3and played the most diff
hcut OF Shakspeares characters before thousands Of
our citizens and afterwards appeared with equal sue
cess in all our great cities. He then went to England
where his success was equally great there he abandon
ed the stage, and commenced the life OF an author
His plays had great success, also; among them was
"Bruus," so we'll known, and "'rhe Maid OF Milan"
l. was in this opera that Mr. Payne's popular song OF
Home, sweet Home" appeared. On his return TO this
country he was welcomed by his admirers and friends
with superb complimentary dinner at the City Hotel
Since then his life has been series of ups and downs:
one day prisoner with the Cherokee Indians another
the universal avorie at Partisan soree; another STUN
bling over the ruins Of Carthage, mine miles from his
Consuate0 and jabbering Moorish TO his Mussunan.-
He now TO go again to Africa, and sincerely hope
our old friend will have good time Of it. Before he
takes his departure, however, learn that many ofhis
friends are determined to give him complimentary din
ner. We hope it will be such gathering as will be
worthy OF the man, for few Americans have done more
honor to their country and its literature than John
Howard Payne.-N. Y Express.
