mr. FINLEY JOHNSON.

A beautiful, winsome. gladstone thing,
With eyes Of celestial FIRE;
The joy Of her mothers loving heart
The pride Of her doting sire;
With golden hair like an angel pure,
That is precious every curl;
o, such are the chains fair to view
OF the infant American girl.
Month after month, year after year
Steals on with steady pace;
And God. new beauties, by his hand
Writes or her delicate face;
There's music bright in her joyous tone,
A darker shade On her curl
And mind and genius lit en,hrouh.
On the brow of the American girl.
Some noble soul with freeman's throb
Bows TO her magic sway;
And she at the affairs sacred rail
Her heart freely gives away; .
Her eyes are diauonds-wealth untold,
Her innocence is the pearl;
Aud these are ever the bridal gems
. That are worn by the American girl.

THE PRESS-ITS MISSION.

In q country like ours, where the freedom
of the Press and of speech is almost an in.

country the manufacturers Of public opn-

foundation in truth. The mission of the
Press is, therefore, to advance morality while

FATAL AFFRAY IN WAsHINGroH-lrs
CArsEs.--During the immense pressure a:
the Presidents leree last evening, Col Lee,
II member Of our City Council and a clerk
in the Pension Office, seized a gentleman by
the collar, and charged him with picking his
pocket. The gentleman charged was Mr..
David Hume, "f Alexandria, highly re-
spectacle merchant. This morning, Mr..
ilume, accompanied by Col. James Walker,
reading clerk in the House of Representa-
tives, proceeded to the Pension Office to ex-
plain and satisfy Col. Lee that he was mis-
taken in supposing him pickpocket. Lee,
however, WAS fixed in his opinion that Hume
had attempted to steal his pocket.bool,
whereupon Hume struck him with a stick,
and in return was shot 10y Lee. The whole
affair transpi'ed in a moment, and before
any one had supposed there would be Sc
rious difficulty.
