But. at each rumor that we read
High mp again it flies.

In sympathy will rise,
Yet be the prices low or high,
Man, while on earth he lives,
Will not, with ease, himself deny
Ofall that comfort gives,
Now, some things, still, are not 10 dear
As most of us suppose,
And this fact We Gun make clear

DIsFRANCHIsEMENTI IN VIRGINIA.
a correspondent of the Washington
Chronicle writes as follows from, Rich.
mond upon the subject of disfranchise.
ment in Virginia under the Alexandra
Constitution. He apparently writes
with kind of sem-official authority, and
claims, in closing his letter, that his
statements are "neither speculation or
conjecture, but may be relied upon as
correct in every particular"
1t is very obvious to the Governor
that large class of persons cannot take
the oath, and are, by the restored gov.
ernment of Virginia disfranGhtsed-
He has ascertained, after consultation
with the most intelligent persons, that,
in organizing some of the counties, there
are not qualified constituents enough to
fill the county Offices, and that hardly
one-twenlicth Of the. people could take
the oath and become voters. The Gov.
ernor thinks that, under the clrcumstan-
ces, there is great danger of what he
terms the honorable and truthful men re-
fusing to take the oath while those who
care nothing for the privilege of voting
may indiGerently avail themselves of the
opportunity.
The Governor is of the opinion that
while many Of the soldiers were in the
rebel service against their inclination,
and from force Of circumstances, the
policy Of excluding their officers, who
can exert an influence upon those who
served under them, will be productive
of great evils The Gisfranchsed Off
GERS would create, lie thinks, a great
deal of sympathy, which would enable
them to control votes which might be
used for improper ends, while the bane
of prescription rested upon them. The
Governor regrets this, since. the soldiers
and a large number of politicians whom
he deems to be every way inferior to the
excluded class, can, under the law be.
come qualified voters, He deeply sym.
pathizes with,the political disabilities Of
the chivalry, who have stirred up the
very depths of his compassion. He is
even now, considering whether it is best
to restore them to their former political
rights, or forever. disgrace them. s.
In speaking upon this subject yester.
day, Governor Pierpoint remarked that
he would sooner cast his lot upon the
prescribed class, under all the penalties
of the authorities, than to be identified
with the Copperbeads of Ohio, Indiana,
Pennsylvania, New York or Boston,
who had the desire to inlure the country
but did not possess the courage to enter
the field in support of their treason.
A new revolution has taken place in
Hayti, and the towns of Cape Haytien,
Gonaiyes and, st. Marks have fallen
into the hands of the insurgents. The
leader of the rebellion, Col. Salane, is,the
person WHO attempted to assassinas . s
ofPresident Gefrard's ministerssis0ghs

An exchange says: The number of Idle,

steadily increasing. They lounge or sleep
through their mornings, and assemble in
frivolous companies of their own and the
other sex to pass away their evenings. What
store of unhappiness for themselves and
others are they laying up for the future,

Estranged,

All, well we are wiser at last;
The charming delusion is over,
Your dream of devotion is past,
And lam no longer a lover.
But darling (allow me the phrase
For simple civility's sake,)
Don't think in this ealmest Of lays
I've any reproaches to make.
All no l-nota querulous word
Shall fall from my passionate pen;
The sharp little seedlings you've heard,
never shall utter again.
But if, in this final adieu,
Too chilly for even a kiss,
/ venture a comment or two,
You surely won't take it amiSs.
I'm thinking, my dear, of the day
(Well, habit is certainly queer,
And still in a loverlike way
call you ''darling'' and "dear !')
I'm thinking, | say, of the time
I vowed you were charmingly clever,
And raved OF your beauty in rhyme,
And promised to love you forever
Forever1-a beautiful phrase,
Suggestive Of heavenly pleasure
That millions and millions of days
Were wholly unequal to measure
And yet, as we sadly have seen,
The case is remarkably clear,
Tis word that may happen to mean
Rather less than a calendar year.
Yet never have broken my vow,
Although ! admit that ! swore
To love you forever, and now
Confess that I love you no more;
For since you're no longer the same
(Heaven pardon and pity US both y
To be loving you now proclaim
Were really breaking my oath. J. e. SAxl
