Write to ms very often,
Write to me very soon
Letters to me are dearer
Than loyliest flowers in Junej
They are affections torches,
Lighted at friendships lamp
Flirting around the heart-strings,
Like fire. flies in the damp.
Write to me very often,
Write in the joyous morn,
Or Mt the close of evening,
When all the day is gone,
Then while the stara are beaming
Bright on the azur. sky;
When thro' the fading forest
Cold the wild winds sigh,
Draw up thy little table
CLOSE TO THE FIRE, and write,
Write to me in the morning.
Or write to me late at night.
Write to me very often;
Letters are links that bind
Truthful hearts to each other,
lettering mind to mind,
Giving to kindly spirits
Lasting and true delight.
Ifyou would strengthen friendship,
Never forget to write:

R8 The full returns of the Maryland
elections show that but one rebel Senator,
and six Delegates are elected. The House
of Delegates stands thirteen Union and eight
rebels. Seven of the latter are of the num-
Der who hold over, and six of them represent
strong Union counties. Bradford's majority
for Governor is about thirty thousand. A
special session of the Legislature is to be
called by Governor Hicks, to undo the rebel
legislation.

Her fine husband has white fingers
Mine has not;
He could give his bride a palace

Hers comes homo beneath the starlight,
Ne'er cares she;
Mine comes home in the purple twilight,
Kisses me,
And prays that he who turns life's sands
Will hold his loved one in His hands.

She will leave hers at deaths portal

She counts her wealth-mine can't be told.
She has those who love her station,
None have I !;
But I've one true heart beside me-

No, not l.

NAL APRoPos.-It is reported that the
South Carolina rebels have hoisted the black
flag along their coast, since their "sacred
soil" has been invaded by the Federal troops;
and this is understood to be an intimation
that they will give o quarters to invaders
but inasmuch as rebeldom has more to lose
by proclaiming "war to the knife," than
the Government has, it is probable that there
is some mistake in the matter. They proba-
bly, put up black flag to signify war for
our darkeys," 1t would have been much
more appropriate to have hoisted yellow
one. That is signal of punishment, to
which South Carolina is now subjected and
it would also indicate the color of an impor-
tant part Of the Palmetto population.

I" A Caution to Privateers."

In the Liverpool Daily Post of October Slst
is paragraph, as fellows, under the above
head: We have reason to believe that
ships belonging to the United States, new
leaving this port, are all being put in con-
dition to repel any attack that may be made
upon them while on toe voyage to New York
or other Northnrn posts, by the southern
privateers. The merchant vessels here are
strengthened in the uper decks and bulwarks
and are pierced in order to carry guns, all of
which are Of the most improved construction.
Experienced gunners have been engaged 10
work the cannon on board, and initiate the
crew of each vessel into the art of gunnery
so that, should the cessels BE- attacked by pri-
vateers, they aoould not be surrendered aoithout
a struggle, The equipments of these vessels,
many of which are now on their way across
the Atlantic, while others are ready to sail,
ara such that privateers will catch tarters
should they come near any of these quiet
looking merchantmen the cargoes of which
(so we are told) replenish many exhausted
war depots. One ship now on her way is
said to carry l8 32's, which, if we'll used,
would settle the accounts of any southern
privater afoat." 1t was full time for Eng
lish merchantmen to be put in proper trim
for repelling the southern pirates.

DODGE COMING AGAIN.-0ssian Z. Dodge,
whose concert was so well attended, and who
satisfied his audience so well when here, will
give another concert in few weeks. This will
give those an opportunity who were not so for-
tunate as to be present on that occasion, and
such as were.present will go again.
After leaving this city, Mr.. Dodge gave a con-
cert at Madison, and elected the highest COM
mendation of the Press, including the religious
paper, the Higher Lac. Similar success has at
tended him wherever he has been, and as
specimen of the notices he gets, We append the

Mr.. Dodge's Concerts differ very materially
from nearly all others, in this particular: While
his entertainments are interSpersed with wit,
and hnmor. there is nothing of low vulgar ma

ms efforts. Dodge is Reformer, and by inter

CHAPTER III.

GgiE MURDERER.
To comprehend the uReasness and apprehension
with which the last words Of the Marquis de Monza
had inspired the soul of Monsieur de st. Sevre, it
becomes necessary TO explain what position the
old president occupied with regard to his only son.
Ernest dc Saint sevre, formerly fellow student of
NJ. de Monza, and associated with him as O men,
Der OF the Jockey Clxb.
Bereft early in life, of the care and tenderness
Of mothers affection, Ernest had been reared
under the cold and austere control OF an old man
whose exterior preserved the traditions of for
mer age, and who offered none OF that sympathy
which is calculated to attach young man to the
paternal hearth. That irresistible influence Of
womanly kindness and love, with which the bit
tcrest natures are impressbe, Ernest had never ex
perienced. Though filed with respect for the sire
whose name he Inherited, his affection was con-
strained by the latter, In whose presence he never
felt himself free and composed. The president in
tmidated him by look q remonstrance; his as
pect alone was freezing. The result Of this per-
petual restraint was TO deyelope pride, reckless
ness and resolution in disposition naturally
naughty and concentrated. Ernest had some iDci
nation for the arts, inordinate love OF pleasure
and propensity for adventures and undertakings
in which sheer audacity, selfrelance, a seductive
manner, the charm and enticement Of speech, and
the power of combinations Of the mind might be
the means Of accomplishment. With the will he
would have made = diplomatst or distinguished
man OF letters.
His father was infiexibie, and hence, in spite of
his repugnance and dislike he entertained for court
life ana legal pursmIS, Ernest was forced TO adopt
the latter for his profession. introduced into the
best circles of Paris, where his elegance and su-
pcriority in manners and personal appearance pos
sessed the irresistible beauty and influence Of a
Lucifer, he exercised among the most fashion
able women powerful fascination; whence his
mode Of living became at length so expensive that
he was discovered to have squandered and overrun
the modest resources his father had placed at his
disposal. He contracted debts which the president
refused to lquidate, Ernest, devouring his shame.
became inspired with hatred Of his father, and held
the world and virtue in utter contempt. He grew
desperate, and gambicd; lucky at the outset he
afterwards experienced bitter reverses and dis.
asters Short Of resources, too proud to affront
once more the remonstrances and refusals OF his
father and nourishng q heart without faith, with
out love, without enthusiasm, without hope lie de-
scended from fault to fault to the lowest resources
of vice. Monsieur dc st. Sevre received proof that
his son had executed forgery. Ernest was then
