About thirty miles above Wilmington, N

Barham, Stone and Gray, on the banks OIL
the North East River. They came down
to Wilmington in small row-boat, and

EARLY LOST, EARLY SAVED.


Within her downy cradle there lay little child,
And group of lowering angels unseen upon hel
smiled;
A strife arose among them-a loving holy strife
Which should shed the richest blessing over the
newborn life.
One breathed upon her features, and the babe in
beauty grew,
With cheek like mornings bushes, and an eye Of
azure hue;
Till every one who saw her, were thankful for the
sight
OF face so sweet and radiant with ever fresh
delight
Another gave her accents, and q voice as muslca
AS spring joyous carol, or ripping stream
let's fall;
Till all who hard her laughing, or her words OF
childish grace,
Loved as much to listen to her as to look upon her
face.
Another brought from heaven clear and gentle
mind,
And within the lovely casket the precious gem en-
shrin, d
Till all who snew her wondered that God should
be so good
AS to bless with such spirit our desert world and
rude
Thus did she grow in beauty, in melody, and truth
The budding Of her childhood just opening int"
youth;
And to our hearts yet dearer every moment than
before
She became, though we fondly thought heart could
not love her more.
Then ou,-spake another angel nobler. brighter than
the rest,
AS with strong arm, but tender, he caush, her TO
his breast;
eye have made her all too lovely for child Of
ulortai race,
But no shade of human sorrow shall darken DER
her face.
aye have tuned to gadness only the accents Of
her tongue,
And no wall of human anguish shall from her lips
be wrung
Nor shall the soul that shineth purely from within
Her form Of ear,h-bo,n fraiity, ever know the tan
orFsin.
Lsed fbssola. vii Rssr. her far
away,
Where there is no sin nor anguish, nor sorrow, nor
decay;
And mine boon more glorious than all your gifts
shall be-
Lo! crown her happy spir, with Immortality"
Then on his heart our darling yielded up her gentl
breath,
For the stronger, brighter angel, who loved hr
best. was DEATH!

THE DIFFICULTY BETWEEN MESSRS. MeMEUL
LEN and GRANGER, "

Many inquiries have been made of us as
to the origin of the difficulty at Washington,
on Monday last. between the Hon. Fayet,e
McMuIlen, OF Virginia, and one Amos P.
Granger, an extieme negro worshipphg
member from the twenty. fourth Congres.
sional District of New York. An eye-wit.
ness states that the two were proceeding to
the Capitol in an omnibus. Granger, who
is an Abolilonist of the deepest dye, soon
commenced his vulgar TRADE against the
South her Institutions, and all connected
with them, and stated that if the ".Republi.
cans" succeeded in elpcting Frement they
would force measures upon the South that
would compel her to relinquish her present
system of servitude, and if they could not
do it in any other way, it should be brought
about shaking his finger in McMullen's face)
by the force Of arms, and concluded by cal.
ling him a puppy Of course this was
enough to raise the ire OF any man but
McMulen, not forgetting bis position rs a
Southern member of Congress, restrained
himself more than it seems possible for hu.
man nature to do, and informed the negro
worshipper in cool, but decided tones, ,ha,
his age alone prevented him from putting
MIN ont of the stage. Ill waive my age,
sir, ri waive my age, you dirty puppy"
responded Granger. Thereupon, a fracas
ensued as a matter of course, and resulted,
as we have already stated, muchstp the
damage of the insolant Granper. M ap.

mark Of cane upon bis forehead, M fMr.
McMullen, unfortunately, carried ,M1ne-

palpable evidence Of compound pressure Of
the flesh bones of his hand upon tfe coun.
tenance of Granger, that he might, Garry the
evidences Of "hostile aggression" upon his. !
front for long time. s
1t will be seen from the foregoing that
Granger was clearly the aggressor, andthe
only regret with all men who love rightand
justice will be, that McMulIen did not give
him more severe drubbing.-Petersburg
