LOVE FELL OUT; THE LAMB FELL IN.

I told nv love one summer day
How beautiful the sunshine lay
IIoon the bosom Of the sea;
And added: "Thus M love for thee
Spreads over every thought Of mine,
Aad makes its memory divine"

Linked with the peerless Laurs's name;
How Tosso, though in prison hall
Could still on Eleanora call;
And added: "Let me like them be
Thus known to fame by loving thee"
Then as we wa:oh the sheep at play
In fields sweet scented by the hay,
] waited for some answering word
Nor waited long. A noise was heard!
Aud then che said, 40 Willie, look
The spsckled lambs fell in the brook
Oh! Love fell out when Lamb fell in:
I left the charming fields of Lynn
The maiden With the faxen locks
/ left beside the rill and rocks,
And vowed when next my love wes told
All sorts Of sheep should be in fold.

count of the bloody and disgracefu transactions

have done so much to injure the good name, ana na
damage the best interests of Washington SINCE 'ne
advent of Know Nothingism in our midst; but 'hey
were not prepared for the importation OF gangs Oh
armed bullies and desperadoes from neigh boring
city, and hence the frghtulyfatal scenes OF Yes'er
day. ,.~,s.a
it must be apparent to the Whole OF this outraged
community that these Baltimore rnffians did not VISIT
their sympa,hizing brethren of Washington from
their own bloody promptings but that they were e.
prsssy picked out hired, and brought to thus city Tor
the purpose, to their own language. OF "reguia.

tITY AND STATE NRws.

NAvAL.-The United States steam frigate Mime
sofa, Captain s. F. Dupont, took her departure from
her anchorage, off the Philadelphia navy yard, on
Thursday afternoon and proceeded down the river
far Us Fort MiIlin. Her departure was witnessed by
a large crowd. At Miiin she will receive on board
sixty thousand pounds of POWDER and then proceed ia
Norfolk, where the remainder OF her armament will
be taken on board. At II o'clock the veteran Com
modore Stewart went on board, and was greeted with
the customary salute.
ApPoISTED.-We hear that Governor Wise has
rendered tn Charles l.. Carr EIq., of ksuawha coun
ty Virginia. the post Of Lieutenant Governor of that
State made vacant by the resignation of Lieut.. Gov
McComas. Mr.. Carr is native of Charlottesville
though long resident of Western Virginia where he
is well know as the President of Bank in kanawhs
He is gentleman of high character, and his selection
is in all respects good There was an important
constitutional law question involved in filling this va
cancy which, We presume, Governor Wise had set
t.d TO his conviction ere making the appointment.
We have 10 ides at present, that Mr.. Carr will de-
cline Washington Star.
