ought to be convicted on general prin-

LONG AGO.

When sitting in the twilight, John, rejecting
on the past,
Affecting scenes of other days are Ger my
memory cast,
When hearts were true and trusting,
unseared by time or woe,
In the halcyon days of Loves young dream in
the bright long, long ago.
And oft my thoughts doth wander, John, back
to those scenes of old,
When side by side with those we loved We
rambled Ger the void;
nd sitting by calm stream We likened to its
flow
Our dreams of future happness-mine faded
long ago
For oh loved, and love has power Ger all
our coming years
To bless with joy and blissfulness or blast with
signs Ind tears;
To you was given the former-to me the
grievous throe
Which has wildly racked my bosom since the
days of long ago.
How fervently I loved HER. John. TO YOU I
need not tell,
That 1 adored and trusted her is known to YOU
right well;
She was the idol of my heart and never could
A love more deep and stainless than that love
of long ago.
Oft have | languished in the gaze of her
tewildering eyes,
Drank in the music of her voice and heard her
soft low sghs-
Toyed with her locks-pressed her soft hand,
white as the spotless snow
And listened to her VOWS of love-all broken
long ago!
For she learned to play the gay coquettc-the
captivating belle,
And looked with cold contempt on one whom
once she loved SO well;
Her lu'trous eyes could fascinate some moro
attractive beau
Than he who reveled in their beams in tho
joyous long ago.
And | have laborcd to efface her image from
my mind
I've seen the hopes l cherished to oblivion
consigned
I've seen the grave close over her who ocked
my wild hearts woe
Her charms and my love have lown-sone
with the long ago. X.

A French View of the President.
From the La Libertc. AUG 6. 1866.


A singular circumstance This rresi.
dent, whose entrance on power the day
after horrible crime seemed TO announce
q policy Of exclusion in the very man who
in taking the reins of government loudly
manifested the most yioicn. sentiments
and the most meuac;ng intentions, sud
denly became the rnOst devoted agent Of
reconciliation between the two noble
fragments of the American uuion and Of
the restoration of the rights Of the van
pushed. This fact, placed by the side of
the general disarm amen:, of the scene Of
general, and soldiers going peaceably to
resume their former occupations, Of liberty
subsisting even during the war itself
does not this fact characterize American
society! What an admirable spectacle is
that of this functionary arriving at power
with hatred in his heart and threats in bis
mouth, but soon listening with respect to
the great voice of public opinion as mani
Tested by meetings or by the journals, and
giving to the wishes of the country pc
cedence over his own preferring the SEN
tments of the nation to those Of per-
sonal nature! 1t is in this way that liberty
modifies profoundly the conditions ofsau,
thority. BY the fact that discussion is
free, and that all questions are discussed
with independence, the man who occu
pies power has his task ready prepared for
him; he can consider every question un-
der all its aspects; he is dispensed with
having genius good sense is quite suf1i-
cieut for him. Moreover, be acquires the
habit of bending bis will without effort 10
that of the public in general; he thinks
he has neither the right nor the duty to
make nation happy in spite Of itself, and
by means which it has not itself chosen
sufficient ii is for him TO obey with intel,
igence tie feeling made manifest by pub.
lie discussion, and to make himself the
infexible agent of the DEGREES Of the
country. He does not make it a point Of
honor to place himself by his genius above
his constituents; he strives above all
things to know what they want, and TO
apply measures with frmness. Thus,
peace by the disarmament, liberty BY lib
eriy, authority presiding over debate in
which the whole country takes part, and
combining Itself, like civil magistrate, to
make choice between the opinions mans
ifested-such is the spectacle presented
to us by America.

The Great Rohbery-Nearly 100000
Stolen frcm the Vault Of the Marine
Bank, New York,

From the New York Tribune, August %, 1866.
tor several years past tho firm of
Crockec, Wood & Co., ship chambers and
commission merchants at No. 81 South
street, have kept their money and secur-
ties on special teporit in the vault Of the
Marine Bank at the corner o! Wall and
Peal Streets Finding that it might be
sta len, the firm directed that no one but
themselves should have access to the box,
and, in order to secure lis greater security,
placed it in compartment in the vault
with five or SIX others, and paid the bank
porter small amount to ;ake special care
of il.
On the 1st inst, Mr.. Wood, one of the
firm, took from the box 1915 in gold, and
replaced the receptacle in lis usual posi-
ZION At that tine the box contained
*l0S,000 in railroad stocks, and small
amount in gold. Or Saturday last Mr..
Wood again visited the bank for the pur-
pose Of procuring some Of the securities
from the box, and was surprised % liud
that 1t was not in its usual place. lie
called the porter, and search was made,
1t was barely possible that tie senior
partner, Nh. Crocl;er might have removed
it to some other place OF safety, and he,
being out Of town, was at once teIegraphel
to on tie subject. lie replied that be
knew noting OF The st ;riiies, and the in>
evitable conclusion was that the box and
It's valuable contents had been stolen by
some adroit thief. In what manner this
was done it is impossible to say.
The police authorities were st once
communicated with, aud Capt Young Of
the detective force, accompanied by detec-
live hadtord, visited the bank. All Of
their inquiries have thus far proved fruit
less, none being able to throw any light
upon the case. From the statement Of
Mr.. Wood, however, it would appear
that it was rot so much difficult matter
to rob the vault, he and other depositors
having free access to it at all times during
business hours 1t would be an easy
mater for thief, knowing this TO be
the case, to hav1 walked through the
bank, descended to the vault, and, taking
any Of the boxes placed there by their
owners in fancied security, make his
escape with it. To illustrate how easily
a theft could be committed by an adroit
operator. Capt. Young gave hint to
detective RadlorI, and that officer min
gled with the crowd IN the bank, and,
watching bis opportunity, caught up
tin box containing large amount of
securities, from one Of the counters, aud
placing it under his coat, proceeded as
far as the street door without being dis
covered. lie then returned and replaced
the box from whence he had taken it,
much to the surprise Of the officers and
employees of the bank.
The securities being left in the bank as
special deposit, the loss will fall upon
the persons owning them. II is stated
that considerable portion Of the stolen
property was owned by friends of the firm,
who had placed it in their care for safe
keeping. A reward Of $4,000 has been
offered for the recovery of the property.

Hunting for Diamonds and Catching a
Gambler.

From the Detroit Tribune, Aug eth
\ sporting man lived not a hundred
miles from jefferson avenue, in modest
appearing dwelling, and bad very fascir-
atiug wife, foG whom lie appeared to en-
terrain the highest feelings of regard. -
lie IaviShed upon her all that her heart
could crave for, ana she seemed to erioy
the comforts Of a home, besides having
large display Of fancy fxings" that
are not necessaries of life. The gambler
had been playing with the tiger, and that
ferociOus beast, to use a common phrase,
" went back on him. lie lost every
cent of money he had, and all he could
borrow, and, as last resort, proposed to
his wife that she should eno him Der da-
monGs, in order that he might get another
start in the world. She positively refused
to lend the articles, and be determined to
get even.
lie planned burglary into his own
house, and arranged to carry it into exc
cution that very night, in order to obtain
the coveted prize. lie took a small valise
filled with clothing necessary for short
journey, and announced to his wife that
lie was going away from the city for a
few days. She placed entire confidence
in him, and he left, as she supposed, to
return at the time stated. Instead, how
ever, of leaving the city, he secreted HIM
self at the room of friend until about
midnight, when be went forth to steal bis
wite's jewelry. The night was quite dark,
which of course was favorable :or his en-
terprise, and about l o'clock he reached
bis residence without being observed. A
few minutes later he was inside, he hav-
ing left window unfastened to enable
him to carry out his designs. He creps
stealthily about the premises, and upon
nearing his wife's bed room, listened to
satisfy himself that she was sleeping.-
Being confident that this was the case, be
struck light and went into the room,-
He naturally looked towards the bed, and
to his surprise saw a fellow gambler,
whose face be recognized, in bed with bis
wife. A row of no small dimensions fol
lowed, revoIvers being drawn, but the
affair resulted in nobody being hurt. In
The scrimmage the diamonds were forgot
ten, and were not stolen.
