called the Naugatuck, should be known by her
true name. the Stevens" Presented to the
Government by the muni6cence of MIR. Edwin
A. Stevens, and assigned to the revenue service,
she has, in her new ownership and vocation,
received at the hands of Mr.. Secretary Chase a
new christening in honor of the patriotic donor.
She is armed with a single gun-a hundred

qualities designed to be embodied more perfect.

capacity OF turning on her own centre without
going forward, and of depressing her vulnerable
parts below water preliminary TO encountering
an enemy. Like other ships belonging to the

placed by Mr.. Chase at tho disposition of oui
military OF naval authorities, she is now well

Household Baby
ny GRACE GREENWOOD.

What joy to human eyes
When it laughs, or when 1t cries;
What treasure, what prize,
Is the household baby!
BE its temper rising, falling,
II is cooling, growing, squalliug,
IT is the same dear precious darling
II is the household baby
If the scene without be dreary,
If the heart within grow weary,
Baby wakes, and all il cheery-
What rush for baby
Mammals eyes grow bright with joy
Grandpa laughs, and "grandpa's boy"
Gladly leaves his last new toy
To play bo-peep with baby!
Sisters from their music run,
Maud has caught the sweetest one"
Grace bends down in girlish fun,
To make horse for baby
Up to everything we know,
Hands and feet "upon the CO."
What funny creature though,
Is the household baby
Bring the puppy and the cat,
Let ner pull and pinch and pat,
Puss and pup were made for that,
Made to please the baby
Bring that china vase, mamma,
Get "the mirror and the hammer"
Anything to make a clamor,
Aud delight the baby
Let it clang and clash away,
Let it laugh and shout and play,
And he barry wi ia It niiy,
Dear, mlsehievOus baby
What joy to human eyes,
What an angel in disguise,
What treasure, what a prize,
Is the household baby

PRENTICE ON TIE REBELS.

The Charleston Mercury has been in ecstacies
over the idea of black and white flag for the
Contederates. With little more thrashing,
their colors will be nothing but black and blue.
Great Britain has held her Gibraltar nearly
century. The rebel Confederacy surrenders
three or four of its Gibraltars per month.
We are silencing the batteries of the rebels
everywhere. When shall we silence their
mouths?
A rebel villain of this city said, few days
ago, that he would gladly walk six months upon
his head "tO see the Louisville Legion cut ali to
pieces. A loyal lady sent him word that he
had better walk little more briskey upon his
feet and try to support his family.
g65~ The Richmond Enquirer boasts that the
progress of the Confederate Government is ra-
pid. That's because it is going down hill
HeH~ Pope was great poet aud be has
great many brilliant passages, but none half 80
brilliant as that of General Pope across the Mis-
sissippi The poets Essay on Man in general
is tame compared to the Generals essay on u
few thousand men in particular.
Gd5- Gen. Magruder has two Col. Wallaces in
bis army at Yorktown, one of whom, like the
General himself, is an inveterate whskey-drink-

SINGULAR PRopHEcY.-The following cir
cumstanee, says The Richmond Wing, recently
occurred at Pensacola and its truth is vouched
for by trustworthy officer Of the army;
A soldier in the Confederate service fell into a
long and profound sleep, from which his COM
rades vainly essayed to arouse him. At last he
woke up himself He then stated that he should
die the next afternoon at O'Clock. for il was so
revealed to bin in his dream. He said in the
last week of the month of April would be fought
the greatest and bloodiest battle Of modern times
and that early in May peace would break upon
the land more suddenly and unexpectedly than
the war had done in the beginning The first
part of the prophetic dream has been realized,
for the soldier died the next day at O'Clock,
p m. Will the rest be in april and Mayg Let
believers in dreams wait and see.-MoJile Id

ROMANTIC AFFAiR.-At the Thames Police
Court, on the 3lst ult., Ann Frazier, aged II, q
very prepossessing young lady who appeared
much affected, was charged with attempting to
commit selt-destruction. It appeared that on
Sunday night the prisoner was in conversation
with her lover, Mr.. Fearney, Jr., the son Of a
solicitor, and some words took place. The
young woman accused her namorata with being
the worse for liquor, and that he ought to be
ashamed Of himself. Mr.. Fearnely denied the
soft impeachment, on which the young lady said
she would commit suicide and drown herself
Her lover said, s'Do, if you are foolish enough" ("
AT that time they were on the bridge over the
Regents Canal, in the Mlle-end Road, and she
jumped upon the parapet and plunged into
the water, and after she had once gone
down he dived after her, brought her up, and
swan towards the bank. Mr.. Smith, solicitor,
said he appeared on behalf of Mr.. FearneIy,
the sou of q very old and respectable solicitor,
and the young lady. They had formed m at
tachment to each other. The act of the young
lady was committed in a moment OF excitement
and she was very sorry for what she had done.

q large majority Of the citizens remained

Of Tie city.
Tie rebels were believed to be in strong

successful. It consisted Of about ], 900 uneu
with IN escort Of gunboats. Two companies
Of the Massachusetts 2od landed and took TIL

there. The citizens received the " invaders
