THE DREAM OF LOVE.
~ GEORGE p. NORRIS.
I've had The hcarr.achc many times,
At the mere mention of Il name
I've nrro- wuven in my rhymes,
Though from i, inspiration came.
II is in truth holy thing,
Life. cherished from The worl! apart,
4 dove that never tres lis wing,
But broods and nesllcs in the heart.
That name OF melody recalls
Her gentle lpnkS aud winning ways
Whose portrait hangs on Memofys walls,
In the fond lIeht ii other days.
In thu ireaIIi-land of Poetry,
Reclining in lis l.afy bowers,
Her bright eyes IN the stars see,
And her sweet scEib!Ince in Tie flowers.
Her grtless dailancs and grace
The JOY that lighted up her brow
The sweet expression al her face
Her lJrn-il stands before me now
Ard | can fancy that hear
The woodland songs she used 10 aine,
Which stole 10 my Attending car,
Like The first harbingcrs ot spring.
The beauty OF the earth was hers,
And hers the purity at heaven;
Alone, OF all her wDrshippcls,
To me her maiden VOWS we're given.
They hltc know the human heart,
Who think such ltvc with time expires;
Once klndlcd II will nc'er depart,
Bat burn through life with all Its fires.
We parted-doomed no more 10 meet
The blow fell with n staining power
And We, my pulse will strangely beat
Al The remembrance of that hour.
But time and change their healing brought,
And Years have passed in seeming glee,
Bur still alone OF her Eve thought
Who . now n memory 10 nle.
There may he many who will deem
This strain waywnId, youthful folly,
To b. derldrd ~ II dream
Born at the 2uct's n"hnch"ly.
The wealth. III worlds. If II WIRE mine,
Wan oil that toll ,ws In IL train,

To dream thai dreIm -! hove again.

Dresses-Ihe Vacant Archbishoprick, &c. &c.
From present indications, there remains but
little doubt that the majority for the new cons.tu-
ton, in the whole State, will exceed ten thousand
Thus have the people indicated their rights, and
disregarded the false teachings and predictions of
the interested parties who labored so unremttingly
10 deceive them The falsehoods and false theories
resorted 10 by the opponents Of the constitution,
have lessened them in the estimation of the whole
community.
most horrible accident occurred yesterday
morning, caused by the explosion of a large iron
kettle used in the establishment of Messrs. Kelly
s Handlers. The kettle filed with boiling
pitch, and whilst young man named Joseph STAINS
bury was replenshtng the fire under it, itexpoded,
throwing the burning fluid over his person, and
burning him in the most horrible manner. No
hopes are entertained of his recovery.
The appointment by the Governor, of William
| II. jenkins, Warden Of the Penitentiary, has
caused q rumpus in that establishment, on account
Of his alleged incompetency to perform the duties Of
I the post. Yesterday, Messrs. William III. Turner
and William NJ. Starr, both sent to the Governor
their designations directors, in consequence and
is expected that other members Of the board will
also resign. Mr.. Jenkins, the new Warden, is
scarcely known to our citizens, with the exception
that he was unsuccessful applicant to Collector
Marriott, for the station Of boatman. 1t would be
hard, however, to find competent successor to so
able and accomplished an officer as his predecessor,

have il completed in time to hold their annual fair

The Turkish female dress has been extensively
adopted at Norfolk especially by those ladies who
have small and handsome feet and ANGLES. In this
city the ladies still fight shy Of it, though the dress
es Of the children are beginning to assume some-
thing Of the desired form.
No Developments have yet been made as to who
will be the successor of Archbishop Eccleston,
though the nominations made by the sufragan
Bishops have been sent to Rome. The Rev. DIR.
Ryder, President of the Georgetown College, is I'M
derstood to be Of those nominated and the Rev.
Mr.. McCoskrey, who recommended by the de-
ceased Archbishop, another.
