And Art Thou Gone?


And Art Thou Gone?
AND art thou gonel thy gentle eye
4 Seems smiling on NE YET
As evening bushes tinge the sky
When evenings sun has set;
And in my bosom seems to thris
Thy last low, parting tone,s
Like summer music lingering still
When summer birds have flown
Returu.-my love has never iound ,-
An echo, save in thine
The tepdriIs Of that love around
No other heart can twine; .-.-
Thine image pictures every thought
That whispers through my soul,
Tbv fopdness DER my life has wrought
X spell Of sweet control.
Assome pTvus --.-l--l-. -h1iids her mes
Upon lofty pine, r
NV naughty spirit sought Tor rest,
And found home with thine.
When ,empests bend the stately tree,
That bird will fold her wing,
And Iinger there as trustingly
As mid the flow ers OF spring.
And thus, should sorows shroud
Be folded round thy heart.
And, lowering DER thy life, some CLOUD
Obscure its sunniest part
IuouId not turn away, or fly
70 Where happier scenes might be-
ia rather watch that darkened sky,
And brave the storm with thee!
Return.-for noD strive to sing
rhy favorite song in vain,
Each note falls back, with broken wlng'
Upon my heart again;
And all the joyous tho 'ghts thai spring
In sadness there return,
To droop, like roses withering,
2 Within the sEirt's urn
And shadows on my pathway iie'
When far away from thee,
Like vapors gathering silently,
Al midnight, DER the sea-
Till, with the darkness lei alone,
Each wave will seem as sad
As if beneath the summer sun.
e Itnever had been g lad.
But when the early morn shall bring
Her golden censer there,
And all igs wealth of fragrance fling
Upcn the Weakening Eir---
Each biilow, with sparkling CREST
All blest anG orig hit will seem,
As if the darkness and the mist
Had been---a troubled dream.
Thus when again that smile OF thine
(The morning of my heart,
Upon its silent depth shall shine,
The midnight must depart
And Joy once more, still fresh and fair
Her sweetest incense burn
Upon loves holy altar, there
10 welcome thy return.

GENERAL INTELMGENCE.--A dispatch received by
Messrs Brown & Shipley the Liverpool Agents of

bable that these articles fragments from the
wreck OF the Pacific, as the Arabia brings 10 nteIli-

In Paris three peace Conferences have been held but
none of their proceedings have been allowed to trans

Congress will meet to adjust the balance of power
A rumor, to which however, not much credence is
given ahoat to the effect that Russia comedies the
required limitations; but will not abandon her pro-
tectorate the Greek Christians. Another rumor
somewhat alarming, but believed TO be specializing
ruse, says that Russia has stated objections which
will break up the Conference.
An armistice has been announced, to last until the
end of March, but not 10 effect the existing block

Mo ED1roR Il think it but act OF justice to
&C the Superintendent of track" on the Portsmouth
Railroad TO state publicly, what appears to be the
cause of the sad accident on that road, on Monday
last
On Wednesday went with others, to see the bro
ken treste work in order TO learn if possible, the
manner in which it gave way, and consequently the
cause or causes of the accident
l. like most Others feared there had been neglect
on the part of the officers in charge OF track and
bridge repairs, as we'll Others this may be so now
but | am clearly of opinion that the accident was
caused by the breaking of " tender axle and the
consequent falling of the truck upon the track
with the wheels and pedestals to drag the track
" string pices" out of place, and thus tear up the
track.
The timbers of the work standing, were in good
order, sound and strong, and in similar condition
appeared all the fallen timber that remained uncon
sumed. The piling that sustained this restle work
was of Post Oak, and none that was not sounC
and strong, almost as hard iron, when they were
cut off to be re-capped.
There may have been decayed timber In thi:
" truss which the cause of the accident, bu
| think ii not so
If the tender axle broke, as it TO have done
at this place, by which the tender fell the track
this shock followed by the dragging of the string
pieces apart or by spreading the track was snth
cent to cause the disaster.
Again, if the truss decayed so that it crushed
in, why did not the Engine, six or eight times heav
