New Defcnscs for New York.

Congress, on the last day of the session, made ap
preparation for three important new Notifications in
the vicinity of New York One of the forts will be
located at Wilkins Point. opposite Fort Schuyler,
upon the Sound, and is designed to furnish base for
land operations Long Island in the event of war;
as we'll as TO command the approaches from the East
River. Its estimated cost is s85OOOO, and $4,000
has been appropriated to begin with. second of
the forts will be located on the site of Fort Tomp-
kins, al the Narrows, which ground was purchased
of the State of New York by the United States Gov
eminent in 1847, and will probably cost over $780,
600; $4,000 is likewise appropriated for its COM
mencement The most important of the three new
works is that to be constructed on Sandy Hook, to
prevent the entrance of hostile feet into the lower
bay. This fertilization is estimated TO cost $780,.
900, and $3.50 900 is the amount already appropr-
aed it will be a formidable affair. This action Of
Congress is chiefly based on the recommendations OF
General Totem, who reported on the subject to the
War Department something over year ago. " hen
these defenses are completed the city Of New York
will be one of the most thoroughly defended seaports
in the world Besides the amount for new forts,
about s25O00O was also appropriated for the repairs
and completion of other Notifications in and about
the harbor.

MHove Faith In One Another"
BY THOMAS DAVIS.

Have faith in one another,
When you meet in friendships name'
For a true friend is brother,
And your hearts should thToo the same
Though your paths through life may Differ,
From the hour when first you met;
Oh have faith in one another,
You may need that friendship yet;
Have faith in one another,
When you whisper loves fond VOW,
Twill not be always summer,
Or be always bright as now;
And when winter time comes Ger you,
And some kindred heart you share;
Oh have faith in one another,
You need never more depair.
Have faith in one another,
For should doubt alone incline,
'Twould make this world desert,
Where the sun could never shine;
We have all some transient sErro"
Which o'er-shadows US TO-DAY
But have faith in one another,
And it soSn will pass away.
Have faith in enc another,
Let honor be your guide,
Lat the truth alone be spoken
Whatsoever may betide;i
For the false may reign a season,
Oh doubt not but it will,
But have faith in one Onother,
And the truth will triumph still

Limos Accompanying the Present OF a" AiO""-A
My Only Daughter.
BY ROBERT STRANGE, ESQ.
This bears affections murmur'd pray'r-
ssWhate'er may be thy lot,
"'Mid scenes Of gloom or prospects fair,
Whatever fortune doom d to share,
Loved one-Forget me not
When we these little presents make
Although tbs uttSrd not
We're striving love, to keep awake
In those who words of kindness rpake,
And feared to be forgot
w. know these tickle hearts of ours,
Like insects in the spring,
Through all their sunny, happy hours,
In search of peasure-'mid life'S howrs,
Are on the wing ;
And cen an early, happy home
Might strangely be forgot,
As through life's checker'd scenes we roam,
Did not associations come
To say" Forget it not"
And 50 father grestI his child,
Fearing to be forgot
By her young heart with rapture wild
In folly's giddy maze beguiled,
And prays-" Forget me not"
Yes, look upon this of'ring, dear,
When years have roll d away,
And no fond father then be near,
Yet, fancy still his voice you hear,
Remember me, pray.
Yes! yes! my GIRL remember me,
Wherever fate may wait;
That memory will ever be
A buekler and defence to thee
Against the tsmpter's shaft.
And should soft peace and happiness
Mingle thy web Of fate,
Thy pleasures will be none the less,
In fancy, should father bless,
And all participate.
But shoud'st thou tread whore tempests low'r
ToW'rdS thy eternal home,
The thought may soothe tiny gOomiest hour,
That we may meet by saving pow'r,
In heavn-beyond the tomb.
