rThsis quite pretty love story in verse; and very
kracefuy told.-BD. PREssl!
The rain had fallen tho whole day long
From hopeless clouds Of an ashen gray;
Ws had sung the last of an old lOve.song,
Each waiting TO hear what the other would say
W. had played at chess for an hour or more,
we had cards, and a game at bsttle-doPe. S'''0'
Tin we woke the echoes about the place.
had traced her fortune long her hand, Ill.
Sac bad pietp ed mine In the self same way;
she drew NINE dark as polar day.
We had read the poets, both old and now,
"A, And pored over legends Of wild romance
With his strong right arm and his faithful lance.
We had tired Of all, and had idly walked, 4.
ner hand on my arm, up and down the room,
Till she weary grew when we sat and talked
nj he thatterlng binds, in the gathering gloom.
TIL n we san 9 song. as I said before
an oldep ballad Of human love-
c4 tie that stood on rocky shore,
maiden as fair as amilk-white dove,
And fea rless lover who came to WOO,
r, wi h an eloquent tongue and soft guitar;
And swore by the Fates and the Evening Star
Till the strain was over and all was hushed,
wren she aised 20 my face her full brown eyes;
Ara ianiled then that the rose-cheek flushed
In my ardent gaze, like the sun-dyed skies.
It was all in vain sssayed to speak
The love that 80 close with my life was wed
felt In my htart that ords were weak
Aud the stately pose Of her regal hand
Made me pause ere yet I had quite begun,
Confused, bewdered, l scarce knew why,
As an ca gle that lilies too near the sun
Is dazzled and staggeis beneath the sky.
AZ she rat with her wfhe-red lips apart,
Aud her white hand idle upon the keys,
ia nave given worlds to have read her heart
I'd have gone thro fire, or have stemm'd the seas
She spoke t,You shall be the lover SO bold,
And TIE lady he came TO WOO;

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL
FinancinI Anairs.


The complexion of affairs in Third street
alters very little from day to day; the de-
msnds for Money, generally, not being press
ing and the stock of Currency undergoing
hardly any perceptible change.
Al some of the Discount-houses, yesterday,
the offerings of Paper and the Checkings
were heavy, and Money was very close; but
at others the inquiry was light. Rates of
interest in the street were, as before, 2@2%
per cent. a month, and occasionally higher
with few operations at that figure, arising,
however, more from the paucity of lenders
than borrowers, who gladly pay that exor-
bitaat price when they want accommoda-
tions.
Boston and New York Exchange was the
same as on Wednesday. The market was
not active, nor steady either, though some
dealers called it so, at u buying and IL
premium selling, on New York, no one Civ
ing except to particular customers. Checks
on Baltimore and Philadelphia were still
irregular.
Gold remained firm at l. X and New Or
leans scarce and in fair request at 24@l pre-.
mium. In Time-bills there were no trans
actions of consequence, few houses buying
them at any rate.
Some uneasiness is still felt in regard to
the issues of the Commercial Bank Of Ken
lucky because so much of it is seen in cir
cuiaticn, the Bankers receiving and paying
it out very literally. The latest ndyices
from the Bank are said TO be favorable, and
we are informed that some of the notes have
been taken up recently by the Bank, and
that more will be about the lst prox. The
Bank certainly owes it to itself to redeem a
part of the heavy circulation at present in
this market, which has a tendency, very
naturally, to discredit the institution.
Tie notes of the Wheeling (Va.) Banks
and Bankers were higher yesterday, hardly
any one buying them better than discount,
and some being desirous toput them up to
10. Tennessee was also worse, and the old
Banks were usually purchased at 10 discount.
Other Uncurrent Money was unatered
The rates of Exchange and Coin were;

We have spoken in detail of the qualifi-
cations of George WolAin, candidate for
Sheriff; John R. Hugo, candidate for Joint
Representative John S. Hopkins, candi-
date for Representative NJ. W. Foster and
John Bumb, candidates for County Com
missioners. They are all excellent men,
we'll qualified for the places they were put
forward for.
Every lover of economy and official in
tegrity should support this ticket in oppo-
stion to the corrupt Gavitt Court House
Clique, that is living high off the County
Treasury. Let there be a-big effort on next
Tuesday to clean out the Court House Buz-

This ticket we have chosen from the list
of independent candidates because the men
on it were the best we could find. We be-
lieve many others will think the same way.
Better men can't be found in the county.

in which all who regard the welfare of our
city, should have an interest. We hope
there will be good attendance on the part
of Stock k-holders, 50 that we may have a

utmost importance that a proper Board oK
Managers be selected-men who understand
well the object for which they are chosen.

our city is being rapidly coIonized with the
ofscourings Of our sister States, to over
power them at the polls on Tuesday next
Some forty or fifty of these mercenary
wretches were parading our streets last
night until late hour. The Wide-Awakes
have their eyes on the scoundrels, and will
make some of them-should they attempt
to vote-pay dearly for their base attempt
TO prevent the citizens of this county from
designating their own officers.
We would say to the Wide Awakes,
mark them well, 80 that there can be no
mistake, and on election day let them ex-
perience the effects of your watchfulness.

nothing will be eft undone to secure your

BY THE E. ". LINE.
Exclusively for the Journal.


The Canada passed Cape Race on Mon.
day night at II o'clock, en- route to Halifax
and Boston.
The Canada was boarded by the news
yacht of the Associated Press, and the fol-
| lowing summary of news was obtained:
The steamship Prince Albert from New
York via st. Johns arrived at Galway on
the 2lst.
The steamship africa from New York ar
rived at Liverpool on the 23d. The news
by the Canada is unimportant.
Italian affairs were unchanged. The Pa
pal army was virtually disbanded. Ancona
was besieged and blockaded.
Garibaldi was preparing to march against
Capua. He had again said that he would
only proclaim the kingdom of Italy free
from Rome.
In Paris, the Bourse had advanced J per
cent. 81
In England unsatisfactory China news
via Russia had been received.
GREAT BRITAIN.-The Queen and Prince
Albert were embarking at Gravesend for
Antwerp, on the day the Canada left
The weather was again unfavorable for
crops.
On the 23d GaribaldTs troops had disem-
barked at the mouth of the Glirquaiano,
and intercepted the communication of the
royal troops between Capua and Geta
Garibaldi had been to Palermo and publish
ed fresh proclamation to the inhabitants,
repeating that he will only proclaim to
the Inhabitants at Rome the Constitution
and Kingdom, and will not accomplish the
amalgamation at present. 1t was expected
that on his return he will operate against
Capua, and the capitulation OF that place
was anticipated.
The official Turin Gazette gives formal
denial to the report of certain letters hav-
ing been received and answered by the
King. The statement is nevertheless reiter-
ated in Turin. The correspondence and the
substance of the Kings reply to Garibaldi
is given. The King wrote his reply with>
out consulting his ministers, as it concerned
them personally. 1t completely saves the
dignity of the crown.
1t is reported that the Papal army was
virtually dsbanded after the defeat of La
mOriciere. The London Times regards it as
no longer in existence and argues that the
1000 men besieged in Ancona can have no
motive in prolonging resistance, and may
already be regarded prisoners.
FRANCE-The Emperor and Empress had
returned from Algeria. The Bourse was
firm and animated. The Emperor of Aus
tria and Prince Regent of Prussia will not
be accompanied by their ministers to War
saw. 1t was rumored that Napoleon had
caused the Gar to be notified that he would
have pleasure in joining the circle at War |
saw, and dispel by personal explanations |
the distrust entertained, respecting the de-
signs of France.

THE CoSCERT.-Last night the second
concert of the Vine street Presbyterian
Church was given, in Marble Hall. The
audience, we are sorry to say, was not so
large as the first evenings, probably because
then number of strangers were present.
The programme was not SO long as
the first one, and out of the twenty -one
pieces, ten were fresh. The performance
was an improvement in style on that of
Thursday evening. This was partly be-
cause the performers felt more at ease than
on their first appearance. Some of their lit
tie faults of style were also remedied. Their
anthem choruses, in particular, were ad-
mirable in time, concord, and general effect.
The choir, when accompanied by that new
organ, cannot be excelled easily in sacred
music.
We hope that the members of this excel
lent choir may continue TO cultivate the
"divine art, and that the public may have
an opportunity Of hearing them again in a
concert room.
