T,apscendent beauty decks her brow,
And happiness is seen
To play upon her features now,
While Earth boasts Of her green.
With eyes Of intellect so bright
And form by nature given;
She thrills the angels with delight
Who dwell in yon bright hesven.
But earthly beauty II pass away,
And death her form will claims
O NAV she turn from errors way,
And praise Gods holy namel
MAY God her hear, 10 Heaven Incline,
And drive her sins away,
That she may like an ungel shine,

A SECRET ExPEDITIoN.-We learn from the
New York papers that orders were received there
on Saturday to charter steamer for the service Of
the Government, to leave Immediately with de-
tachment of troops, and with sealed orders, TO be
opened when at stated distance from the land.
The steamer Crescent City was engaged for the
purpose, for not less than twenty days, nor more
than ninety. She was prepared to leave on Sun
day, but the orders were countermanded, and she
is held ready to start at any moment. The gene
raj belief is that this movement is directed against
the Cuban expedition. The Crescent City is TO
cruise along the coast between Sandy Hook and
Savannah, but will most probably be kept in the
neighborhood of the Hook, from which she can be
telegraphed at any moment. The military on Co
vernors Island have received orders to hold them.
