POETRY.
Household wreck.

Sad, sad is thu wreck on the sea,
When the bark has succumbed to the wave,
And cold on the desolate lea
Lie the forms of the manly and brave.
But sadder the wreck of the heart,
When the ties of love have been riven;
When the soul recoils from the dart
And reels meath the fat of Heaven;
\ When the hopes that brightly illumed
Have vanished forever in night,
And the heart is daily consumed
By agrief that knows no respite;
When the bosom no longer is stirred
By aught that delighted before,
When we heed not the song of the bird,
And the rose is fragrant no more;
When solitude sits at our hearth,
And our house is silent and drear,
Where the voice of music and mirth
Fall softly and sweet on the ear;
When the day wears slowly away,
And the nights are weary and long,
When we shrink from the light and the gay,
And life seems burden and wrong.
For the eye that was bright has been dimmed,
The voice that was cheerful and gay,
The smile that radiantly beamed,
Have faded forever away.
Such, such is the wreck of the heart,

Pledge to Stand by the Admin
-istrafiOn.

We find by looking at Mr.. Blair's letter
of acceptance that in the cant phrase OF
current Republican politics he Hwill stand
by the Administration" Do either can
didates or the people understand what this
pledge means? II they do not we can tell
them. It means that our congressman, fol-
instance, will close his eyes and ears to all
arguments, and only hear the roll called by
the Clerk of the House, that he may vote
"yea" upon all bills labeled "Administra
tion," and ''nay' upon all others. Now is
not this humiliating2 is it not the veries'
slavery? We can see it in no other light
This Administration will be in power un
til March 4th, 1865. The election, how
ever. takes place in November 1864, month;
before. Now let Us see how this pledge tc
stand by the Administration works. Sup
pose, as we hope will be the case, that the
present dynasty is supplanted by ration
al, loyal, law abiding President, Cabinet
and Congress, all Of whom Mr.. Blair for in
stance agrees with, and then imagine hin

COTTON IN Observation-Disclosures
the unlavorable season, the Cincinnati En-
qui1e, has information that cotton has ma
tured nearly as well as usual in the South.
ern counties OF this State. The gins are
now in operation, several new ones having
been sent there this season. It has been
customary ever since the country has been
settled to grow cotton in the southern and
western counties of this State for domestic
manufacture only, Hand cards, for card
ing cotton, have long been an article Of con-
siderable Importance in this market, but
this year the trade has been largely in
creased; as the quantity of the land put in
cotton has been greater than usual.
