When the old gentleman, as they thought
was in the arms of Murphy, the girls would
go up stairs and hang sheet out of the
window and pull their lovers up.
1t happened though that late one night,
OLD Dad was out-saw such q strange sight,
A sheet hung ont from window high
To pull 1t down he thought to try.
The girls thinking they had a beaux at
the bottom of the sheet pulled vigorous
ly, but as soon as they saw the old mans
nose they dropped old man, sheet and all.
The old gentleman was pretty badly hurt,
by stopping so suddenly when he reached
the ground, aud after being well cared for,
came 20 the rather improper conclusion in
Dictated by the last verse:
So the next morning Dad gave in.
And told his daughters it was no sin,
To talk to fellows after night,
But that it was exactly right.
The moral is that you must not be too
strict with gushing young women, for
Ifyou do they will Outwit you some how or
other and perhaps bring themselves, their
lovers and their friends to grief.
We have two contributions from Cheat
Mountain Summit where the Muse exists
upon army rations and does not seem to
be in very good condition; but fitch,
Boston crackers and poetry do not appear
to be altogether inseparable. A private
in the I'd Virginia regiment on the Cheat
Summit longs for his Nancy.
On this rude and sleety mountain,
Where things appear gay and fancy,
Thoughts ill my mind like a fountain,
All concerning lovely Nancy.
The fountain gushes forth in an almost
everlasting stream singing of life on the
Cheat of war, death, heroism and famine,
which the animate source fears.
Have Oflen paled thy flushing hues
Ana hlled thy heaying breast with woes
The lover of Nancy, who must be a
lovely girl to inspire the admiration OF
such poet hero, then proceeds to init
mate that he would leave the Summit and
rush to her arms if lie could do so with
honor and safety to himself and without
detriment to the cause. He concludes by
inviting Nancy.
Join in my wish, Miss Nancy d,
With Jeu. in HI, secesh in the sea.
Which must be regarded as much less
patriotic than profane.

following:

B9~THE First Battalion of Connecticut
Cavalry, now encamped on the Island, uu.
der command of Major Lyon, visited the
city yesterday, making very warlike dis
play. They passed through the principal
streets, and brought up in front of the
MLure House, from the balcony of which
they were addressed by Governor Peirpoint
The Governor welcomed the Connecticut
men to the State in neat speech, saying
that he was late in extending the welcome,
butt was never too late to do good. He
said they had not come here to fight for
Virginia, nor for Connect cut, but for Con-
stitutional liberty in all the States.
Major Lyon responded briefly and APP
Propriately, saying, among other things,
that the men under his command had left
comfortable homes and many domestic
pleasures to take the field in defence of
their Country, as their fathers had done
before them.
The battalion then gave three chsers
for Old Virginia, and for Gov. Peirpoint
and the assembled crowd, lat the Governors
suggestion, gave three cheers for Old Con-
necticut aud the Battalion of cavalry.
The horses Of the Battalion are rather
small and ''leggy,n but they are said to be
very tough and spirited.
The procession was escorted by Colonel
CrOthers and Capt. Downing.
