EPTTHALAMIUM.
70 Mrs. Jenny Lind Goldschmidt.

BY PETER rINDAR, JR.
Well, Mrs Goldschmdt dear, wish you Joy:
The spinster-world forsaking,
That double happiness without alloy,
That Hymen's votaries talk of every day,
Yours bent on trying, and taking
.sLove honor and obey
For your new motto,
Have given your hand to Otto!
Fortunate Otto (your Otto of Roses')
When he first learned the piano,
Meier dreamed he'd be the man O
Suck wondrous luck as this days news dlsclo-
Mate to Nightingale!
And that no common, unhedged bird,
Blu, one who has made her carols heard,
And entering now her thirty second spring,
Vows that she will no longer sing
The stupid solo of celibacy,
But ioin him in duo that can't fail
TO suit the popular gale,
And close in a cadenza that shall be
The climax Of their joint felicity.
Was ever known such transformation!
A bulbul to goldfnch-no goldsmith
1t passes Ovids widest transmigraton,
And vet the change was all accomplished with
A few words from the Prayer Book {; so ..----
Tine pIumage from the warbler dropp'd;
The soaring bird her warblings stoPp'd
And then subsided to wife
An unpoetical fowl, know,
But pleasant, when it brings nest tor life,
Well lined, as this one, with golden fleece
Such as no Argonauts had dream'd OF, even IN
Greece
So Otto has returned to his vocation;
Jenny has set him up
4 Cyoll .p,,th
Where gold is TO be wrought from all creation.
All alchemy is put to blush,
Since Midas. in his most metallic mood,
Never made gold with such rush,
As Jenny can do or as Jenny could.
For, by the mint machinery Of her throat,
Otto NAV coin from every bulbul noe
A full 'Aedged Golden Eagle, fit
To circulate where baser coin than it
Would be uncurrent or would meet
A heavy discount in the street!
But still, wish you joy, dear Mrs. G.;
] am resigned, or strive TO be;
I'll even forget the fifteen dollar seat
That was heeced of in the Barnum days;
I'll even strive to lay the unwilling ghosts
Of scores Of sacrificed white kids that meet
My tear-dimmed eyes whene'er gaze
Into the drawer where lie the hosts
OF sad memorials OF my youthful lolly-
"Most musical, most melancholy"
And when in future years,
Around the Godschmdt hearth appears
A "birdIng" brood that I" must be slngln'
Each in its own domestic song,
And with no Barnum all equipped for bringing
1t out before Castle Garden throng-
Pert APPS, dear Mrs. g.,
You'll give thought TO me
Who in the height Of Barnum's glorious row
That first iniatuation
That seemed to fill the nation,
Invested three vs. in the fund that now
Sets up your Otto in his old vocation!

CAesupea6,e and Ohio Canal. Sr.

The damage done to the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal by the late freshet, from Harpers Ferry to
the Point of Rocks, is very onsiderable-partic-
ularly at the locks the Bridge across the Po-
tomac, at the former place. Above Harper's Fer
ry the damage is not thought to be so great
Wherever there was curve in the Canal there
the work seems to have suffered most. No calcu-
lation can now be made of the expense for re-
pairs-nor how long it will take to place the Ca
nal again in navigabe order.
At Harpers Ferry the government works were
under water some twelve or fifteen feet.
Large quantities of flour, lumber, &C., have
been lost on the Shenandoah and Potomac rivers,
from the mills and flat boats. A number Of canal
boats have also been lost.
On the Winchester Railroad, three bridges,
and nearly mile of tressle and other work, have
been carried away. Loss some $4,000.
There is break in the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal about ten miles above Georgetown, on
the four mile level which is said to be serious
one, and will require or two months for its re-
pair.-Aler. Gaz.

RICH AND RACYI
THE MAGYAR In THE JERsEYs--ruNNY SCENES
IN NEWARK.

THE MAGYAR In THE JERsEYs-ruNNY SCENES
IN NEWARK.
From the N. Y. Express]
The sublime and the ridiculous were ludcrous
ly manifest in of the minor incidents, atten-
dant upon ''the great Magyar's' recent visit to
Newark. An eye witness graphically describes
| some of the scenes as follows:
New Jersey is celebrated formud, all the world
over,-paricularly Newark; a fact, which the
great Hungarian is now ready to acknowledge
Tuesday in a mud respect, was day never to be
forgotten-over there. Knee deep, ANGLE deep-in
fact difficult to find bottom any where.
Opposite the City Hotel where the process
sion escorting ''the Governor rested, the street
was in most awful condition. The horse on
which the Grand Marshal sat, fell back in it, and
very near rolled over on his discounted rider
The spectacle presented by ssfallen greatness, ~
when it recovered its personal perpendicularity
may be imagined, Epauletts, sword, cha
peau, pants,-everything had an exceeding earthly
appearance.
This did very we'll for beginning, but the end
was not yet. The balcony in front of the Hotel
was densely crowded with human beings, all anx-
ious to get glimpse of s'the illustrious Exile."-
By and by Mayor Quimby came forward and spoke
at kossuth some ten minutes, after which Ex-
Chancellor Halstead addressed him few words
Before the Ex-Chancelor had concluded, a
queer looking wagon stalked upon the scene. 1t
was not exactly wagon either, for it had no
wheels. 1t looked like sleigh, and was steered
with shovel in the hands of pilot at the stern.
Six horses were the propulsory power, which
kept this concern in state of progressive ANNA
ton. On it came, ploughing up the mud, and
dashing up the s'waves,' in suffocating sublimity
against the affrighted multitude. The Ex-
Chancellor stopped talking about ''Russian" Des-
potsm. to protest against this species of sinter-
vention." The crowd hooted and hissed and
hurrahad-the mudocrats meanwhile moving off
in grim triumph up the avenue.
Kossuth himself, at this crisis came upon the
balcony. The only really original part of his adj
dress was that which dscoursed of the mud. and
on this subject he particularly pathetic, thus:
Gentlemen, saw before | entered your citv n
gentleman, who advises me that should not look
down to the streets, (laughter) but that should
look up to The people, in the very eyes of whom
| see consolation for my poor country but as it
happens that, willing to look to your eyes, that
mirror OF your generous sentiments, cannot for
bear to look down, of course l must look at the
mud.
Now, gentlemen let me say that it is the first
time in my life that thank God that there is such
mud IN the streets because if the streets had
been dry and the weather fair-because, O my
God. among many good qualities of which the hui
man heart is the epository-there may be also
a very innocent curiosity !; and if the weather
was fair and the streets were dry, you might have
been prompted by that very curiosity. = But

Kossuth in the North and South.

Kossuth has compliment for every locality
At St. Louis, New Orleans, Mobile, Montgomery
and in Mississippi, he spoke of 1.-THE warm hearts
and generous sympathy all around him, and
more than once compared his warm receptions 10
the spring time and beauty Of Jfowers around him.
But on Tuesday, at Jersey city, he says;
Il would now say that am on my way home
perhaps not home, but to Europe-but | as
sure you shall pursue tia lover his bride.
feel happy to return to the East. The weather
is cold here, but | must say that where hare
been though the a0eather IS a0armer the hearts are
colder'
Our Jersey friends, sure, have no de-
sire to be thus complimented at the expense of
their countrymen elsewhere.
The above we copy from the New York Ex-
press. The people of the South will take the re-
mark of M. Kossuth compliment, as it is in
fact. They know how to discriminate between
these, and they do discriminate between adven-
turers and patriots. But perhaps M. Kossuth had
this incident in his mind when he spoke.
We copy it from the Raymond Gazette pub
ished in Kinds county, Mississippi:
A large company OF ladies and gentlemen, we
understand, assembled at the Railroad Depot, at
our neighboring village of Clinton, the evening
that the Hungarian chieftain, Kossuth, was ex-
pected to pass up on his way to Jackson. When
the smoking train approached, all prepared to ex-
ger-the ladies put their blandest smiles, and
drew forth, with that peculiar grace known only
to our Mississippi bellies their unspotted and deli
ciousy scented handkerchiefs, while the gentle
men, without exception, readjusted their standing
collars, reset their fashy hats and made them
selves generally useful. The iron horse rounded
to, and on being anchored, aboard stepped the
worthy officials of the village, and politely invited
the Governor of Hungary to step ashore for
moment, and accept the congratulations and hos
FATALITIES of the ladies and gentlemen present.
mo" replied the great personifcation and en-
bodiment of European Republican Liberty, tell
the ladies' am neither a lion or monkey, to be
made show Of" And thus the affair, praise
worthy and patriotic in its conception on the part
of the Clintonians, ended. We submit if any
American soldier statesmen, however I'M
couth, under ordinary circumstances would have
received the courtesies of village so ungrace-
fully.
