My dearest "Lidic" thou art gone, To Heaven, the home of spirits bright; Thou'lt sing around thy Savior's throne; And bask in His celestial light. Thou art my bright angelic one,
 Clothed in thy Savior's righteousness; 'Tis not for works which thou hast done, That only through his glorious grace fcign would see the robe you wear, The robe of righteousness divine; The cross, upon your precious hair; The palm, in that sweet hand of thine. Could recall thee, for one hour, And hear the tell, of all thy joys;
 Me thinks those horrid bangs that lower Around my heart would be but toys, I'm coming soon my darling one, And then you'll show your mother dear Those beauteous things, and we will join, And sing our Savior's praises there. August 10, 1866. c. X G.

DEM TArERs-THE FAnunE OF sHnEwD

Dem TATERs-THE FAILURE OF SHREwD
DoDGE.-Cufey appears to be up to as many
lodges to raise the wind as the very sIrewdest
sharpers about nowadays He occasionally
has good luck on his side, and perpetrates "a
SELF on some of his victims that does honor to his
AFRICAN scent" In the instance we are about
to narrate, however, he failed; not for want of
shrewdness or cunning in the laying out of the
plot, but because the person he endeavored
to victimize was on the look out for him.
Cuffoy called at the residence of one of our
citizens yesterday afternoon, and asked for the
gentleman of the house, Mr.. --; and on
being informed he gas not at home, told his
wife that he had brought " dem taters" Mr.
bought of him day before yesterday.
The cart was on the bridge and he didn't
have money to pay the ferriage, and therefore
wanted the lady to give him so cents for that
purpose. He went ON to give such straight
account of the whole transaction, that the lady
began to rail about her husband not having
mentioned to her that he had engaged ten
bushels Of sweet potatoes to be sent home.
Cuffee's confidence increased ON hearing her,
and he thought he had matters fixed up in
mighty good trim for his success However,
to make matters secure, the lady sent one of
her children to the toll-keeper with the amount
that the darkey stated was necessary to pay,
aud requested her child not to let him know
that she had the money about her, and then,
loud enough for the darAey to hear Ter, she
told the child to tell the tolI-keeper to pass the
cart over the bridge, and Mr.. - would
settle with him for the ferriage. This was
enough for Cutfsy. He saw at once his dodge
had ''gone up" and the next thing seen of him
he was making tracks in an opposite direction
down Wide Water street, at 2 40 pace

DARING ROBBERY -'rhe liquor store of F.
w. Lemesey, No. 81 High street. Portsmouth,
was broken into last night and robbed of
about $3.50 worth of various kinds of liquors,
and SIT in cash The rogues effected an en-
trance by forcing the lock from the cellar
door, bursting off the planks of the cellar
cap and climbing through. They stole about
ten demijohns of fine WHISTLES, two demiiohns
of costly sherry wine, and several of brandy,
besides number of bottles of Chestnut Grove,
Dailey's, and other fancy brands Upon en-
tering the store this morning, the clerk dis
covered that the rascals had left the faucet Of
a wine cast opened, and the floor was flooded
with Catawba. They seemed to have had
Jolly time while at their villainy, for they had
tapped champagne basket and left several
bottles on the stand with two glasses, out of
which they no doubt drank to the success of
their roguery. From the footprints in the
mud Of the cellar, it was evidently the work
of negroes, for the impressions of the shoes
were about thirteen inches long. Mr.. Leno-
sey left the city yesterday morning to attend
to his Senatorial duties in Richmond, and con-
sequently is ignorant of the occurrence, and
may probable see some Of his own goods Of
fered for sale in that market, as the thieves
will badly dare exhibit them here.
