LONG TIME AGO.

On the lake where dropped the willow,
Long time ago;
Where the rock threw back the billow,
Brighter than SNOW
Dwelt maid beloved and cherished
by high and low;
But with Autumn's leaf she pcrished,
Long time ago.
Rock, and tree, and flowing water,
Long time ago;
Bird, and bee, and blossom taught her
Loves spell to know;
While to my fond words She listened,
Murmuring low;
"Tendelly her dove-eycs glistcned,
Long time ago.
Mingled were our hearts forever,
Long time ago;
Can now forget hcr,
.ss No, lost one, no.
To her grave those tears are given,
Ever to flow;
She's the star missed from heaven,
Long time ago..

LOVE AND MARRIAGE.

But these who have gathered the flowers
From the football of Cupid that sp ing,
Know there grow in Tymenial bowers
Thorns, nettles, and briars that sting.

She VOWS she allows not u beau
To be near, or appear us aught her,
Save one that she slightly may know;
But those who are by when they sigh,
AMI such little perjurics make,
Can't conceive how these lovers can lie
Under such mists of mistake.
Their style of exclusive devotion
Is all very well in its way;
But this very unsociable notion
They find after marriage don't pay,
"My darling" will last for awhile;
F,r awhile be at intervals kissed;
But, though parted by many a smile,
'Tis rarely that Madame is Missed.
This paying addresses possesses
A charm, as each lover allows;
Int repeatedly paying for dresses
Must follow hymenial VOWS:
Though Cupid the Office conceals
That each hapless sufferer fills,
Yet hymen more honest, reveals
His duty of paying up" bills.
The paradise promised by Cupid,
With cherubs as guardian spritcs,
is rendered remarkably stupid
To those who must sleep there o'nights.
These chcrubs must al of them cat,
Though the fact is lover beneath;
And his " Heaven below is rcplctc
With wailing and cutting of teeth.
But lover will never discover
\ fault III the one he would wed;
From his dreams never seems to recover,
Till the lamb to the altar is led.
His idol then proves an ideal;
Still worship he possib y cam
Yet, though he may love what is real,
You'll allow he's an altar-cd man.

On Monday, riot occurred at the 9th Ward
polls between the Americans and Irish. The
Irish were rcpulsed. Several wounded on both
sides, and three killed.
On the @ht of the 9TH, a riot occurred on
the Icvce, and the Irish drinking houses were
destroyed. The military were called out and
the riot suppressed fer the time being.
Yesterday all was quiet during the day, but
last night another riot occurred on the corner
of Sixth and Green streets, in which several
persons were killed and many badly wounded
To-day, by proclamation of the Mayor, a
public meeting was called at the Court House.
1t was agreed to disband, for the time being,
the police force, and to appoint force of one
thousand citizens, which was done. They have
taken possession of the disorderIy streets, and
it is supposed that they will suppress all dis

Repeal Of the Minnesota Land Bill.

1t will be seen by reference to our Con
grcssional proceedings, that Congress, on
the 81 inst, repealed the bill heretofore
passed, making grants to the Territory OF
Minnesota for railroad purposes. We have
in this act the .fna|e OF the Drama o.!
Fraud, which has been played by the Schuy-
Ter Company ard their supernumcrares,
on tie theatre OF Congress-. The con-
Spirators have gained the reward which was
their due, in the defeat of their schemes,
and the exposure Of their crimes. 1t is DIFF
(cult however, to account for the action OF
Congress. Minnesota has been held re-
Sponsile for the in;qutics Of Wall street
gamblers, and the cup:dity Of domestic
SPECTATORS. The mode Of justice would
have been to aGopt the amendatory act as
presented by the minority Of the com
mittee, securing the grant to the Territory
while prccluding the scoundrels who CON-
mittea the fraud from participation in it,
benefits
We refrain from extended comments un
til full reports Of proceedings in Congress
on the Sd instant are received. Meantime
the responsibility of wrestling from oul
grasp the munifcent gift OF the nation,
must fall upon the heads of those who
have made the interests Of Minnesota see
ondory to the suggestions Of Avaricc and
Crime. 1t is some satisfaction to know
that all who have prccil'.tated this injury
upon Us, are not beyond the reach of the
vengeance Of the people, whose brightest
prospects are thus rnthlcsSly deSpoied

The Ruling Passion.

The Richmond Post relates an anecdotc OF
:" the ruling passion strong in death =
1t was told of a noted gambler living IN New

the argument which he adopted to settle any
controversy. Whatever might be the charac-
ter of the debate his strongest reply to an an
tagonist was, I'll bet you" That scourge OF
New Orleans the yellow fever, made its APP
pearance. While it was raging most fiercely
and carrying off hundreds daily, the gambler
was attacked. Medical attendance was secur-
cd, and everything that skill could do was
done to save his life. But the fever was
stronger than the doctor, and at last he was
told, /" Sir, you must die, and if you have any
arrangements to make, attend to them Specdi-
w. doctor" said the sick man, :. how long

The physician was astoundcd at such reckless

six hours. secured the amount at stake, and,
While chuckling over his triumph, was seized
