THE LONG AGO.

Oh wonderful stream is the river Time,
As Il runs through the realms of tears
With faultless rhythm and musical rhyme,
And broader sweep, and surge sublime,
And blends with the ocean Of years.
How the winters are drifting like fakes OF snow,
And the summers like buds between,
And the year in the sheaf--so they come and they
On the rivers breast with its ebb and flow,
As il glides in the shadow and sheen.
Where the soltest Of airs are playing;
There's a cloudless sky and tropical cline,
And a song as sweet as vesper chime,
And the Junes with the roses are staying.
And the name ofthis isle is the Long Ago,
And we bury our treasures there
There are brows OF beauty and blossoms of snow
There are trinkets and tresses of hair
There are fragments Of songs that nobody sings,
And part Of an infants prayer;
There's lutte unswept, and harp without
Strings
And the garments that she used TO wear.
There are hands that are waved when the fairy
shore fM
BY the mirage IL lhed in air; -
And we sometimes hear, through the turbulent
roar, Nfrlt
Sweet voices we heard in the days gone before,
oh remember for aye be the blessed isle,
All the day Of life till night
When the evening comes with its beautiful smile,
And our eyes are closing TO slumber awhile,
May that greenwood" Of soul be in sight

the sick headache, which has been recently offered
10 the public, is attracting great attention. not only

Arrest Of Captain smith and BIr. Valentine
ON the Charge Of being engaged la the
Slave Trade.
From information received on Investigating
the charges against the captain Of the Grey
Eagle, by the United States district attorney
for this district, measures were taken which led
to the arrest, yesterday on the affidavit OF Mr..
Hines, of Captain j. Smith, charged with hav
ing been engaged, with the brig Julia Moulton
of this port, in the African slave trade. He
was taken into custody, on the warrant by
Deputy Marshal Horton, and brought up for
examination. li eRs
A warrant was also issued for the arrest of
Mr.. VIM. G. Valentine, doing business at No.
l55 South street, and he was taken into custody
by Deputy Marshal Nevins, on a charge Of hav-
ing fitted out, or been concerned In fitting out,
the said brig Julia Moulton, at this port.
The law, as regards the captain, making
the offence, if proved, piracy, and punishable
by death, bail was refused by the district at
torney for him. His counsel, Mr., Denning,
made a motion before Judge Belts to admit
him to bail, which was opposed by the assis-
tant district attorney, Mr.. Joachimssen, and for
the present denied.
The penalty, on conviction, for being engaged
In fitting out a vessel for the slave trade, Is
we understand, for not over 10
years, and fine not exceeding $4,000.
There will probably be an examination of
the case in four or FIVE days.
. The Julia NJ, we understand, cleared at this
port, in February last, for the Cape Of Good
Hope and market, and the allegation is, that
instead of going to the Cape of Good Hope she
went to the coast of Africa, took on board $50
black and mulatto persons, and landed them
as slaves at the Keys, on the coast Of Cuba,
and that the brig was afterwards set fire to
and burned to the waters edge.
The bail of Mr.. Valentine was fixed by the
district attorney at $4,000, which was given
after few hours Messrs. Libby, (ex-alder
man, David L. Valentine, and Mr.. Booraem,
of williamsburg, we believe being the sureties.
