ability and learning. The typographical execution
of the book is admirable, and on opening it we

FLIGHT OF OPTICIANS The trees in Capitol
Square, yesterday, were literally covered with
these birds. How they came to enigrate to the
heart of the city we are unable to say. They sat
close together, and in such crowds that we
could not avoid wishing we had special license
to take single crack at them.
NEGRO MIscELLANY.-John Cooper, free ne
gro boy, was committed. on yesterday, for want
of Richmond papers. Two negroes were whip

chilling air,
Which stole in solemn stiffness from its mist en-

All! we mourn for thee. s,ceet sister by thy tomb
we bow and weep,
And breathe wild, wild requiem above thy place
of sleep!
The dark ensignia of death seems gathering around
And my eyes grow moist and heavy, aud my full
soul gives no sound,
But what is wild and mourntul as the wind, mid
forest trees,

his prisoned spirits trees,
With hearts strong gush of sorrow, with its tears
my cheek is wet,
And mourn for thee, dear sisssr, though we may
have never met.
mourn for thee with childish heart whose tide of
grief runs DER,
mourn amid the loved of earth, who may not
meet thee more,
Till all, in Heavens high temple from bright, un-

Till those now severed upon earth meet in the spirit
land
For oh hope of Eden birth Is to our spirits given
That for the star we've lost from earth brighter
burns in Heaven.
