MY PET THAT WAS.
By WILLIAM WINTER.

Slowly stealing through the twilight haze,
A cloud of slumber droopeth o or me;
dream tonight of other days,
As many fool has done before me. q ,9tl
And, from the crowd Of phantoms there, ~, +,
One sweet, pale face looks out above me-
Alas, the flower used to wearl wy y -
Alas, the heart that used to love mel as,
Your eyes were gray when last we met I,
wonder If they're any grayerl
| used topray to them, my pet, aTi
But now I'm nothing of o prayer. ii
Your voice, think, was very sweet
'Twould sound tonight great deal sweetei
And ah, the hours were very feet ~
Told gently Off by Loves repeater. hi
Your heart was hardly true my pet ,t5
i cannot say that mine was true; Gs
For /, who used to woo, forget, ih.
Sometimes, that e'er I've been a wooer.
And you forget your VOW, my pet, H'
Even in the moment when you gave i'll ,Hh
So it were idle to regret eil
The sorry chance that did not save it, 81.
l think never saw you sad -. .fe.srfl
They tell me that you still are merry;
With eyes that sparkle, gay and glad,
And lips that have the tint of cherry; t1i ~
That all your pretty, winning ways, -, -. $
So arch and wayward, wild and willfuL ,
Remain as in the golden days ~.
Except that you are grown more skillfull "
Fade, gentle vision, from my sight .,s.
do not trust--I do not doubt you; 3D..
But am happier far tonight
My darling little pet, without you.
I warrant me you have no lack tgl
OF lovers now to tease and worry -..
So could call the old days back,
wouldn't do it in hurry.

Deatl, of Hon Alfred Kelley.

This prominent citizen of Ohio died at
his residence in Columbus, yesterday
morning, at the age of seventy years.
During his long public life Mr.. Kelley has
been SO much connected with the egisla-
ton, finances, and public works of OHIO,
that he seems identified with the rise and
prosperity of the State. He was one OF
the first canal commiss oners in Ohio, and
the first Of our public works, the Ohio
Canal, was built under his administration.
He was thoroughly acquainted with the
finances of the State, and devoted himself
to them in his various capacities as canal
commissioner, fund commissioner, and
logisloto+, with tho untiriag energy that
distinguished him in all his undertakings.
. At tie commencement of the railroad
era in Ohio he went into the establishing
and construction of railroads with such
success that his management was regarded
as guaranty Of the prosperous completion
Of any road that he undertook. The rail-
roads from Xenia to Columbus, Cleveland
and Erie. were built under his supervision
In all his public relations, as well as his
private affairs, Mr.. Kelley was dislin.
guished forIgreat industry, perfect knowl.
edge ofhis subjects, and eminent ability

The following specimen of eccentric rhetoric on
the part of Peer of England, quondam Lord Lieu
tenant OF ireland, may perhaps excuse the occa-
sIonal observations INDUCED in by persons of less
exalted rank. Under date London, Wednesday,
the Dublin Freeman correspondent says:
earl de Grey's exhibition at the Institute of
British Architects was extremely amusing. The
noble Lord who processes that he knows notbinU
whatever about architecture took the chair at 5
o'clock, and delivered one of the most unintelIigi-
Bile dissertations which even a member of the
House OF Peers could be capable of producing. A
very short extract from his LOrdship's speech will
afford adequate idea of the style of Oratorv ad
dressed by the modern DemOsthenes to the descend
ants of Vitruvius and Michael Angelo: Gentlemen
here we are | am very glad to see YOU ALL and al
though, mind you | am not an architect all | as
pire to do is to do my duty. (Here the noble Earl
seemed to be struck with the absurdity of his situa-
tion, and laughed immoderately). It's a great
pride and satisfaction to to be here to-night in
fact, it is very pleasant for all to be here laugh
ter by his Lordshp) 1t is twenty four wears since
we first met, and by George there were only thir-
teen of US; met in a little room; but, 'pon nv
word and honor, | can't remember where it was;
but stay here the noble Earl tapped his forehead,
but there response we'll can't think of it at
this moment, but know the room was somewhere
daughter by his Lordship). do remember, how
ever, that have always tried to do my duty
Veil, when this society joined the other society
no, when the other society joined this society," and
both societies came together (the Duke of Sussex
was connected either with the other society or this
society, but which, pom my life, can't tell, we
were unable to give prize to the best architect
and know Mr.. Cockrell gotit; and am very glad
that he, like myself, is alive and kicking to remem
Der it, (G-eat laughter by his Lordship.) 1t i;
also very gratifying to ms to find that we are for
the first time in our lives in a room which we NAV
call our own, because until now it was very hart
to say where we was. We had lodgings in Gros
venor street, Il have nothing to say against the
place. but in this position, that we never
could tell what might become of US. If the mar
have been turned into the street. and God know:
| what would have become of u.s. loud laughter.
"Having continued in this edifying strain fol
half an hour, the noble Lord concluded by expires
sing the qualification it afforded him to be able tc
do his duty. The solitary idea, which happens tc
| have been borrowed from f. NJ, the Duke of Wei
| lington, was repeated about dozen times, after
which the noble Earl presented the Institute with
| likeness of himself"

PARTICULARS OF THE ARGENTINE VICTORY AT MARTIN
GARCIA.
Our files Of the Correio Wercaatil of Rio Janeiro
extend to Oct. o.
Thev afford nothing of interest from the canits
of Brazil.
A correspondent writing from Montevideo, with
the date of Oct II, gives the following account o
the successful attack of Gen. Urquiza upon the de
fences of Martin Garcia:
'On the 18th of Oct. the squadron of the Arpen
tine Confederation which had lain so long and shame
fully inactive in the harbOr of Montevideo weighed
anchO" and proceeded up the river 1t consisted of
lour steamers, two sailingvessels with 700 men anC
abundant munitions of war. On the 18th at nirht
fall, the fleet anchored below the fortcations erect
ed by the Government of BuenOs Ayres at the cana
adjoining the island of Martin Garcia and which
were supposed to be at impregnabe and i'm
passable. Early on the following morning they
prepared to force passage, the Salto, (steamer,
with the bark Conception, leading the way, follow
ed by the Hercules, Pampero and Menay, (steam
ers,) and the brig Argos As the squadron ap
preached, the batteries on shore opened terrible
hre, which was almost simultaneously answered
from the six vessels. The principal fort was dsa
oled IN this first exchange of courtesies. The Pam
pero, by round poured into the Pontano caused
tremendous slaughter. The second broadside from
the same steamer, directed at the Buenos Ayrean
brig Rapid induced its commander to run his vessel
ashore. The muskctry of the Pampero did fearful
execution among the escaping crew.
In the meantime the Hercules and the brig kept
up an lncessant fire upon the enemy, causing Sc
rious losses shot from the land unhappily struck
the hawser attaching the brig to the steamer; and
during the interval necessary to renew the connec
tlon, the two vessels were exposed to a damag gng
fire; but returned it with unfaggng courage The
Salto took leading share in the conflict aiding
the others at all points, and the commander, officer:
and crew displaying the most daring valor The
forces on shore, as well the crews of the Rapid
and OF the POntano, suffered very severely 1t is
impossible to procure the names of the officers
slain. The Argentine party lost the valiant cap.
tain of the Pampero, Lieut.. Col. Maurice, who was
killed in the encounter with the Rapid On board
the Salto, gunner was killed, and three men
wounded. The losses on the other vessels, if any
must have been small, as no mention is made o
them in our letters. The squadron has proceeded
to Parana officers and crew all craving an encoun
ter with the fleet of the enemy"

ed by the interruption of railroad trains week That
may have kept back hogs that would otherwise have ar
rived previous Saturday but it does not account for

determined to make thing of it. Of course the
