FRANK LEES ENGAGEMENT.


What l am going to relate is not very
startling OF thrilling as the minor
critics say; but it is substantially true,
and may interest the lovers Of their spc-
cies of writing.
Frank Lee was fine young fellow,
who had lately commenced the practice
of law in our city; and after filing quite
respectable number of " declarations
in the courts, the youthful barrister fol-
lowing the wont Of his guild in all ages,
had made another species Of declaration
to young lady whose name was Miss
Ellen Orsin and it was soon understood
that himself and the damsel, who was Of
the highest fashion, were duly engaged
to be married.
One afternoon about dusk, Frank
carefully locked his office, and sought
the bachelor lodging of his friend Tom
Wellsby. Tom had lately returned
from Europe-was an extremely hand
some dandy of twenty eight or thirty
and possessed all those elegonces Of
manner which / am told characterize in
variably the travelled man.
Delighted to see you," was the sal
uta.ion of Tom Wellsby, as he half rose
from the sofa on which no had been ly-
ing, wrapped in an elegant silk dress
gown and extended his hand, "but what
in the world are you doing with that
immense comfort around your neck p
a." take the night train down home,
where shall be for week or two
was the young mans reply, as he lit a
cigar, land | have favor TO ask of you
before / 60"
+" II is granted"
That's like real friend, Tom-and
I'll conceal nothing. You must know
that Pm engaged"---
"Ah yes--and you wish me-
"To attend to my place during my
absence"
Nothing will give mo more pleas
ure, my dear boy-pray, who is it?"
4" Miss Ellen Orsin."
"Ahl young lady of the best style
| think, ard rich"
Yes, very sprihgtly too, and you
will not have disagreeable time"
Mr.. Wellsby nodded, and said
"That makes no difference, Frank
but even at the risk Of appearing both
vain and presumptuous, must be per-
mitted to make a single observation"
/. Il listen"
Women are strange creatures"
continued Mr.. Tom Wcllsby, smoothing
his graceful moustacbe with foppish
air, land it is impossible TO count on
them. Don't be angry--but are you
quite at ease in trusting you lady-love
to me? Suppose she falls in love with
me, or reversing the idea, suppose / fall
in love with hcrT
Frank Leo smiled and replied
"Pm not at all afraid"
We can't calculate certainly upon
women--they are so capricious."
:" Do you think so? But am will
ling 10 risk the chance"
" Very well, Frank, Il is at your peril.

THE VOICE OF OCEAN.
BY FINLEY JOHNSON.


When oceans waves are dashing
Upon the rocky shore;
When wildly sweeps the hurricane,
And loud the waters roar;
| hear a voice speak through the strife,
Which fills my soul with dread
A voice that chants a mourning wall
For oceans sleeping dead.
When oceans white capp'd waves roll on
In majesty and pride
And spirits of the mighty deep
Are whispering side by side;
When leaping high, their snowy crests
Are by the wild winds tostj
hear that voice sing mournfully
A requiem for the lost.
That voice proclaims the honest truth,
That life is like the waves;
That that which gives their birth to joys
Serves likewise as their graves;
Though hope way sweep the chambers Of
The hearts remotest cell;
Yet like the waves, joys disappear
But whither-none can tell.
1t speaks to me Of comedy forms
Which OCEANS waters lave;
OF those who're rocked so TRANQUILITY
By oceans restless wave;
1t tells Of those whose souls have fed
From oceans caves so deep;
Whose forms repose within their cells
In an eternal sleep.
When beaming with the rays OF joy,
Youths crested pillows roll;
Its joyous waves leap up with CLEO
And bound beyond control
But soon the heavy swell Of grief
Comes bounding, rushing on;
And all the sparkling joys of life
Like snow-hakes soon are gone.
Then when the waves are dashing wild,
Upon the rocky shore;
When wildly sweeps the hurricane,
And loud the waters roar;
hear voice speak through the strife,
Which fills my soul with dread;
A voice that chants moaning wall
For oceans sleeping dead.

The New York Evening Post, one OF
The Ehost able aud influential froe-soil
journals, has yentured to put forth The
following programme for the political
canvass Of 1860, and the result which il
predicts, will ensue. If such be the
feast to which the South is invited, it is
full time that she is girding on her ar
NOR for tho battle which is threatened to
be forced upon her:
we expect to have a clear Republ-
can majority in the House Of Represent
atives of the next Congress, (the Both }
Republican President and Vice Presi-
dent, and Cabinet for 1861, elected by
the votes of every FREQ State, and clear
majority in the Senate too, at least in the
3sth Congress (1863, which will make
the working portion Of the government
unit. Suppose an act Of Congress
should pass, calling National Conven-
ton to revise and amend the Constitu-
ton of the United States With half
the determination and none of the ras-
cality employed by this Administration
to carry the Lecompton outrage, the CO.
operation Of a majority of the State
Legislatures might be secured, to ap-
point delegates to the convention, and
the convention might proceed to amend
the Constitution by abolishing the slave
representation and the surrender Of fugi-
tive slaves, altering the apportionment
to correspond, and remodclling the Su-
premc Court so as to vacate tho bench at
once. and require new judges TO be ap-
pointed, and then simply order the next
succeeding election to DO held under the
new schedule, the returns to be made
and elections certified by the President
Of the Convention.
"On the 4th Of March, 1865, the
Government would be peaceably inaug-
urated on the new basis, ready for har-
monious and resistless action in all it,
brnnchcs--legislative. executive and ju.
dicial. And any minority Of States
would find themselves without remedy OF
deliverancc. They would be within the
boundaries and occupying the territory
Of the United States and sabjeet TO the
laws thereof, as at present. Other ma
tons would at once recognize the author
ity Of the Government and its right TO
the exercise Of its own laws within its
own bounds as heretofore. And no
power on earth could review or alter the
result"

EzT The Republicans have accom-
plishcd two great feats at tho present
session Of Congress.
/. They baye voted TO admit Kansas
into the Union as a slave State, upon
certain conditions prescribed by the
Montgomery bill, which is directly in the
face Of their former ayowed principles.
2. They have voted against the pro-
position Of Mr.. English 10 submit the
Lecompton Constitution TO vote Of the
people, which they have been clamoring
for since tho beginning Of the session.
