"Tis well, young girls, your rosy hours
To pass In frolic gay;
But, heedful, spare the tender flowers
That blossom in your way.
Oh crush them not but love them well,
And list TO what they say;
A warning tale 10 you they tell,
OF sad and swift decay
For you, like these fair fragile flowers,
But blossom for day:
Like theirs are brief your sunny hours,
Like them you pass away!
And though you idly put them by,
In Lies fresh morning hours,
A time shall be when you will sigh
For these unheeded flowers
When sorrows come, and friends retire,
And early dreams depart,
And hopes are fed, you'll then desire
To press them 70 your heart,
And they shall wake your dreams again,
To bless your closing hours,
When none Of oil you loved remain,
But these sweet sister flowers.

To The Editors Of The american 7eIegraph
GENTLEMEN: The 10Th of October, the sew
entieth anniversary of that great and final bat
tie fought on the plains of Little York, in this
State, during that dark and gloomy period in
the history of the revolution, the year 1881, and
which had the result of terminating that long
yet glorious struggle between the then colonies
and mother country, was celebrated in this
town on Monday, the Goth instant, with the
usual display of our military, on the advent Of
this, day held in high veneration by the good
people of the Old Dominion. Why is it that
this day, which is second to none in its results
on the destiny of our beloved country, should
not be hailed as one that deserves nations
homage and not suffer State pride alone to
keep in remembrance that to which grateful
people should be proud to do honor.
The news of the detachment Of Samuel T..
Hartt, Naval Constructor at the Gosport yard,
was received here by the men connected with
the yard, and the people generally, with feel
ings of regret. Mr.. Hartt was deseryedly pop
ular both in and out Of the yard, for his agree
able and gentlemanly manners and his high
attainments in his profession Complimentary
letters have passed between him and the Heads
Of the several Departments, and also from the
workmen, that are fattering to Mr.. Hartt, and
highly creditable to all the gentlemen con-
cerned

The Washington R,pubic takes ground that
the proposition for German National Loan is
a second Cuban bond speculation.-Phild. San.
An error: the Washington Republic takes no
ground, but regards all as pirates who do. 1t
would hardly approve Of the Cubans' assuming
title to their own ground; and would vote our
ancestors outlaws and pirates for taking that
which belonged to the aborigines 1t is con-
scientious paper, is the Washington Republic,
