TEE wIFE,s APPEAL.
Ply MISS 8. J. CLARK


I'm thi. king Charles, 'tisj ST ayear-
Or win be Neiy soon--
Since Il, j, vou 5old ne OF yonrio
One s.o. ious dav u June.
All nature seemed to share our Bliss
The skies han. warm above
The Winds from opening roses bore
The very breath Cf love.
We sought the sill, deep forest shades,
Within " hose leafy gloom
Few ardent sun5eams stole to kiss
The Young buds into bloom.
The birds caught up our tones of love
In soaE not half as sweet,
And earth's green carpet, violet ho"ef'd,
II scarcely felt our feet
But. apro2os OF carpets, Charles,
looked at some to-day,
Which yoa will paiehase; won't you, dear
Before our next scirce!
And Their, remember you, how, lost
In loves delicious dream,
We long stood silently beside
A gently gliding stream:
Twas natures mirror; when your gaze
No longer ce,t.d bear,
l inodcs.iy cast down my eyes,
Yet but to meet it thee.
And, apropos of mirrors, love,
The dear gift of your mother,
Is quite old sashioned-apd, to-day,
ordered home another.
All. well do remember, Charles,
When first your arm stole Eou.d me:
Yon little dreamed how long your soul
In golden chains had bound re.
But, aprcpos OF chains. my own,
At hanks, store last Wctk
found tha sweetes, iovei-so rich,
So tasteful and unique!
The workmanship is most superb
The gold most ire and pure
quite long, Charles. to see that enaln
Suspend your miniature.
Iheard sad news while You Were out;
My nerves are mach affected;
You know the navy officer
l once for you rejected?
Driven to despair by your success,
Mlde desperate by my scorn,
He went to sea, and has been lost
In passing round Cope Horn.
All, apropos of capcs, my love,
saw one in Broadway,
OF lace as fine as though twas wove
Of moonlight by fay.
You'll purchase The exquisite thing,
twill suit your taste completely;
Above the heart that loves yca, Charles,
Twill rise AM fall s" sweetiy.

Who NOMINATED FREMoNT?-We should not
be surprised to see tremendous controversy
spring up upon the important question OF who
first nominated Fremont If be should be elected,
the dispute will certainly be warm one. There
are already two claimants for the honor. Mr..
Banks, the Speaker of the House, and Mr.. VIII
son, the Senator from Massachusetts,, are said to
be the men, They caught the idea, however,
from Governor Floyd of Virginia, who desired
that Fremont should be the candidate of the
niger driving democracy, with the platform an
nexed, which he couldn't stomach. According to
all appearances Colonel Fremont was the origi-
nal candidate Of the dem ocracy, and was most
earnestly pressed by the Niger driving democra-
cy South. The great question of past ages-
who struck Billy Patterson ?''--bids fair 10 be
eclpsed in interest by the more important one,
Who nominated Colonel Fremont particularly
interesting if he should be elected.

now on foot there relative to the location Of the
New York Post Office Some Of the develope-
ments are Of the strangest and most startling
character. II seems that there are four or five
different cliqucs, each of which works for a dfe-
rent location. These cliques include land specu-
lators from this city, lobby members and hangers
on about Washington. and members Of Congress
all engaged 10 shaving the government and en-
deayoring TO pocket two or three hundred thou
sand dollars Of the public money, while pretend
ing to be working like patriots to secure the go
vernment an excellent site for lis New York Post
Office. We have names. dates and facts in rela-
ton to the Brick Church, -. Johns park and
two or three proposed up town locations II is
not yet settled where the Post Office shall be-
The law places the matter at the discretion Of tho
President, who has been consulting very deeply
with sidney Webster aud others of the kitchen,

We understand. has been decided against The
people in that transaction were to divide too
much with the lobby and Congress, and too little

b. oker. Of Wall street. arising out Of charges in
reference TO the suspended bank. In view OF the
great public interest felt in the affair we detailed

the best informed sources Information in reference

bank in question. He waited on Mr.. Thompson.
and received from him an elaborate statement Of
the matter, which we publish for the information
Of the public in another column. He also waited
on the Messrs. Leland, but they have declined
furnishing counter statement, on the ground
that the affairs Of the bank are being examined

will relieve them from all implication-w be
made and published in few days In the mean
