QUEEN -

How sleep the brave, who sink to rest,
By all their counry's wishes blcst!
When Spring, with dewy fingers cold,
Returns to deck their hallowed mold;
She there shall weave sweeter sod,
Than fancy's feet have ever trod.
By fairy hands their knell Is rung,
BY forms unseen their dirge is sung;
There honor comes, pilgrim gray,
To bless the turf that wraps their clay,
And freedom shall awhile repair,
To dwell a weeping hermit there"

Mephistop heles, in G0tho's Faust, we expressly

appeared in TWO widely different characters; those
of Bongbroke, in Scrbe's comedy "a Glass OF
Water, and Shylock, in "Tbe Merchant Of Venice.
The first, IT will be understood by thote who are
familiar with tho play, especially demands Of the
actor delicate grace and dignity and an elegant
SAVIOR iaire throughout, but does rot evoke those
deeper and stronger qualities by which, we infer,
Mr.. bandmann is best able to impress his audiences.
We are bound TO say, however that the part would
not have been 30 well played in any other Of our
city theates, if We may judge by tue general inca
pacity TO represent kindred pars. The fine gen

STARVING TIE REnEs.-Ths real difficulty in
Virginia has been the cutting Of Of markets for
her surplus beef and wheat, not the want of
food. The idea Of starting OUT rebellion 10
such magnificent agricultural region as the
South, was one of the new discoveries OF this
war.
A letter published In the New York Post,
written March 8, ct Charlestown, IVA. near
Harper's Ferry, says:
"Tbe war has almost entirely stopped the
demaud for grain 10 this county. Great stacks
Of wheat unthreshed, and Of cora unhu. ked, are
lying on almost every farm, Tor cows aud
hofses TO feed on, and pigs. which here run
loose, to nestle In. A ioraging party goes out
every day, and generally returns with load Of
Jur and corn, and yesterday they brougb: In
large quantity Of bacon, which rebel quar-.
teI master had left in his haste to get away"
