THE poETs-GRAvE.

In this pleasant beechen shade,
Where the crocus blossoms red,
Lieth ono who, being dead,
Is neither nlatron, man, nor maid.
But once he wore tho form Of God,
And walked the earth with meaner thinga;
Death snapped him. scel above him springs
The very grass whcreon he trod!
Lot the world swing to and fro,
Tho slant rain fall, tho wind blow strong;
Time cannot do him any wrong
While he Is wrapped and Graded sol
All, much he suffered In his day;
He knclt with Virtue, kissed with Sin
Wild Passions child and Sorrows twin,
A meteor that had lost Its way!
lie walked with COLLINS, ghouls, and things
Unslght,y,--terrors and despairs;
And ever In the starry airs
A dismal raven tapped Its wings!
He dlod. Six people bore his pail;
And three, were sorry, three wcre moi:
They buried him and. then forgot
His very graye--the lot Of all!
But strains Of music horc and there,
Weird children whom nobody owns,
Arc blown across the fragrant zones
Forever In the midnight ART

NEW YORK, January 24.-The steamer
Meteor is still in charge of the United States
officers. Ex-Governor Andrews, of Massa-
chusetts, VIM. NJ. Evarts and Jos. H Choate
have made strenuous efforts with District
leased, stating that her character was the
reverse Of hostile, as they were informed by
the owners.
1t is believed that the ship has not been
thoroughly searched, and it is thought that
powder and ball are slowed in some part of
her. A large quantity of heavy plank has
been found aboard, intended to be used for
the construction of forward deck sufficient
to carry 300-pounder, which, according to
information received by the District At
torney, she was to take ab7ard. Her crew
consisted Of fifty-three men.
Dickinson will probably refer the case to
the Secretary of State, the matter being of
national importance. In the event of the
action of the authorities being sustained, the
vessel will be condemned and sold for the

The Government has presented an &C
count of 5000 against Mrs. Bishop, the
proprietress of the Crutchfeld House,
Chattanooga, Tenn, for freight conveyed
during the war.-Erehange.
Mrs. Bishop will be remembered by
many of the citizens of Cleveland as hav-
ing kept a bOarding-house on Superior
street, above the Square, some years ago !
and the Crutchfeld House at Chattanooga
will long be held in remembrance by the
military men and others who were 80 un-
fortunate as to be compelled to accept its
hospitalities" during the war. It was
kept on the cheap clearinghouse plan
perfected, and as the "proprietress" had q
monopoly of the hotel business in Chatta-
nooga, she amassed great wealth. She al
ways managed to be in favor with the
military commandant, from whom, as ru-
NOR stated it, she obtained not only free
freights, but the privilege of purchasing
from the commissariat at Government
rates, which are the cost price, exclusive
of transportation. The United States
Treasury would be benefited, and the
ends of justice subserved, we doubt not, in
many similar cases, by the collection of
such amounts as designing citizens of the
South were enabled, from time to time, to
put in their pockets through the false
philanthropy of class of Government Of
ficials who had more sympathy for aristO-
cratic rebels and spectators than for the
Union and its defenders.
