THE DREAM AND THE AMAZING.
BY THOMAS 8. DoSoHo.


Life was dreaming was dreaming s-sming, dreaming
day and night "#
Beautiful its visions ever, ever auging bright,
Like placid river fiowng---ke the sacred river going
Gladly through the Edcnand-all the graceful all tho
grand
Mrrored its buoyant bosomal the angelhauntcd land
Life dreaming drea ming, dreaming starerowned forms
of sweetest seeming .m"
lowered round-ther dark eyes beaming farer still than
starry light,
While their white waving gently, while their fond lips
music tone,
Still invited, still delighted promised still joy unknown,
saynslove and fame await thee, oue and fame that shall
Pride and power beyond monarchs naonovershadowin
throne
These are thine, and thine alone"
Life twas thus thy early passed in drcamst wakes
to reason,
Knowing now those dreams we're treason treason thy
nobler charge
Knowing now, thy LORD bestoweth life loan thy spirit
oweth
Right return, which oyerhowoh-be the glorious WILL
obeycd -
Still and still it ococ blessing all thy Sovereign made
Action aconl not for dreaming. Learn the true intent
of Life!
Rise the world is mad in battle on amid the fearful strife
Brothers art thou beholdng Banner of the Cross
unfolding
Even the Banner which the Roman marching attack his
foeman,
Crouching low with trembling awe, the blazing heavens
In hoe sgo pices Virtue, doubt thou not shall conquer
all:
Every heart and hand assist her then shall her oppressors
fall
shrouded by theirdeeds OF darkness ever fall

valuable paper to fact that will prove interest
ing to the citizens of the First Ward, in connex-
ion with the selection of site upon which to
erect a new markct-hOuse, to be designated by
them, on Monday next by ballot, at poll TO be
opened for the purpose
AS the act of Congress in reference to public
squares and streets in this city is not generally
known to the citizens, it is deemed proper to
state, for their information, that that act pro-
hibits the of any of the public reservations, or
streets, for the erection of buildings for any pur
pose whatsoever, except for government pur-
poses. 1t will be perceived that this act of Com
gress removes all idea Of obtaining from the gor-
er,msnt permission to use any other Of their pub
lie squares, or Streets than those already granted,
for market purposes.
II it is the wish Of the citizens to have the
market-house rebuilt upon the present site, it
can be done without the slightest apprehension
Of any interference on the part Of the govern
ment during any length of time it may be re-
quired for such purposes. The grant of the
present space having been made long bcfore any
actio" 'cos Lad upon The subject By Congress- rem
ders it almost permanent one, and is no doubt
so rte,ccd By the gorernH,caL Should it be decided
to remove the market to some Other location, the
only alternative left the Corporation will be TO
purchase suitable square of ground for the
purpose which would undoubtedly have to be,
in order to obtain of the Councils the necessary
appropriations for its accomplishment, somewhere

If the gentlemen who compose the Committee
Of Commerce of the House of Representatives in
Congress could but realize those feelings Of anx
iety which the uncertainty Of n vessels position
in dark night occasions, am sure they would
take some interest in the matter. Indeed, nearly
all our steam navigation in this river is by night;
and to get aground, causing delays and expense,
all owing to the absence Of lights to guide to the
proper channels, is n matter of common occur
renee. Even the most sklful pilots arc often
deceived. This business is very laborous; and
the system which is adopted when coming from
to land freight and passengers first at Nor
folk, thence departing Immediately for City Point
for the same purpose lastly leaving for Richmond,
and the same thing over ON the return to receive
freight and passengers must break down the
strongest constitution. For these reasons, SO

crimson sunsets, the distant mountain -peaks--the
rocks and crags, and hills and vales-the lake,
the pond, and cen the duck that padded there
the school-houso by the wood, and school-mates
too--the joyous friends of youth, all, all come
home to memory's shrine, and fill brimful the
cup of pleasure. That home has long since
been deserted, and stranger hands have marred
its pristine beauty. Parental hearts were stilled
in deaths long night and there the tomb con-
tains their vcnerated forms. Oh, how sweet,
how sacred to our thoughts must be the home of
early years While thus Illuminating, permit me,
by fancys aid, to indulge the muses.
CHILDHOOD.
Back to chdhood's sinless years
Memory takes her flight
Days of hope, bedewsd with tears,
Smiling III delight
how pure the heart was then
Not een touched by
Beating on, and gladstone when
Dreaming of the morrow.
The following verses address to that beautiful
stream, the Conedaguinnett, which flowed by the
home of my early boyhood. Though long years
have rolled into the great ocean of time since
saw it, yet fancy bids me think | hear its muir
murinGs still
TO THE CoNEDAGUINNETT.
Sweet winding strcam
How fancys dream
Recalls thee to my sight,
And bids think
While on thy brink,
know e's first delight.
In youthful days
Thy mumurng lays
Fell softly on'my
The wild birds sung
On boughs that hung
Ger thee, SO calm and clear
Oh, were there,
Devoid of care,
As when thee last,
This heart would beat
With joy complete
And dream of pleasure past.
Oft thy banks
In gladstone pranks,
I've whied the summers day;
But pleasures hours,
Like vernal showers
Are doomed to pass away.
The world Id give
Once more to live
With heart light and free
AS when boy
To know what joy,
Bright steam, I've felt by thee.
In mcmorys waste
Thy name is traced
Flow on, sweet stream, flow on!
o'er golden sands
Through myrtle strands,
Flow on, sweet stream, flow on
