\ SIT In my chair by the blazing fire,
ana doze away my life,
/ AND the laughing flames leap higher and
higher
As dream of little wife:
On my shoulder1 feel a pressure sweet Il
and arms like the sn0w-~O whittier -
ApouC my neck In warm clasp meet,
And the flames flash brighter and
I brighter.
I And ringlets OF gold pour over r1ysface
AS my head to her bosomss pillow
Sinks down in cloud of perfumed lace
That heaves like foamson the biIlow;
And hear her warm hearts quickening
!. beat,
And her eyes glow bright as fire,
AS my lips are covered with kisses sweet.
And the flames leap higher and higher.
A soft cheek nestles close to my own.
And the sweet smiles DER it chase:
Like sandrops upon a calm lake thrown
Her dimples the smiles efface:
lute-lfke laugh, and her swelling breast
Heave joyous-higher and higher:
How happy my lot, and how sweet my
With wife In front of the fire!
AndaI drink her beauty into my heart.
And the Ioveslight of her eyes:
With a crash the red brands fall apart
My wife up the chimney flies
Thus oft in my chair by the blazing fire
L doze away nay life,E al FSffszF XTTr7 f
And the mocking flames laugh higher and
At my dream of love and wife.

THE STATES INTEREST IN RAILRoADs.-On
yesterday, in the House OF Delegates, MI
SrEARys, of Henrico, moved a resolution of
some importance. 1t was an inquiry into the
expediency of authorizing the Board OF Pub
lie Works to exchange the States interest in
railroads and other public works for her
bonds. The idea is Il good one, and should
meet the appreciation of the Legislature.
There are many holders of the State bonds
who would be glad to make the exchange :;
and il would be good thing for the State if
she had no interest in railroads nor i'll any
other improvement, and nothing in the world
to do with their management. She has quite
enough of authority over them in the right
reserved TO her TO alter or abolish their char
tiers rs she may think proper, at any time.
They would get along great deal better with
out the State and the State Il great deal
better without them. Their entire divorce
would be cause for .mutual rejoicing; and the
mode suggested by Mr.. STEARSs would be an
easy one, and one profitable TO all parties con-
cerned.

SHALL THEY MEET IL New YoRK?-A bill
TO incorporate the Dover Company, whose
property is on upper James river, has been the
subject of considerable contestation i'll the
Senate-not as TO the merits of the corpora
ton, but upon the mere question Of where the
company shall hold is meetings. The original
bill authorized the holding of the meetings in
New York; but when under discussion, some
days since, il was amended by striking out
New York and requiring the meetings to be
held here. Yesterday Mr.. GAIT moved n
reconsideration of the matter, with the view
OF restoring New York and the motion drew
forth much debate. With due respect 10 the
grave Senators, W. suggest that they are
making mountain ont of mole-hill. What
matters it where the company's meetings are
heldY They may go TO Kamskatka, or the
Moon, if they like. Their property is here,

rhe New York Trthune.

This paper, which exercises a greater
and wider influence than any other journal
in this country, reached its t~wenty-ffth
anniversary on the 10th instant and COM
memorated its qusrto centennial by sp-
pearing in 8 greatly enlarged form, with
new and handsome type. It is now the
largest daily published in this country,
and, so far as we know, in the world. The
New York Times, in its recent enlarge
ment, became Of the same sire as its Lon
don namesake, but the Tribune is larger
than either. Mr.. Greeley has been on
pected with the paper from its very COM
nencement and his, personal talents and
labor have given it its character. Through
its entire oour g 1t has remained ~steadfastly
true to principle, and, though often mis-
taken, 1t has never even been accused of
being vsnal. We are rejoiced to know
that It Is to-day more influential and prof
liable than ever.
On the evening of the 10th, the ami
yersary was celebrated by a grand ban
quet at Delmonico's. With the exception
Of the venerable Peter Cooper, no one
was presen. except those who have been
in some way connected with the paper.
Horace Greeley occupied the chair, and
among the brilliant company were men
like George William Curtiss, Bsysrd
Taylor, Scion Robinson, Professor You
mans Edmund Q. stedman, John F.
Cleveland, Thomas McElrsth, Oliver
johnson, Sidney b. Gay, George Ripley
and otLers well known in literature and
politics. Henry J. Raymond, Charles A.
Dams, Charles P. Congdrn, Samuel VIII
kesou, and Theodore Tilton, former at
taeAes Of the Journal were invited but
sent letters Of apology. Touching tributes
were paid to the dead Of the Tribune,
among which shine such brilliant names
IS Richard Hildreth, William Henry Fry,
and Margaret Fuller DOssoli. Eloquent,
speeches were made by some of the many
fne speakers present, and 8 general good
time was enjoyed.

Gustave Dore, it seems, is not to illus
trate Shakespeare, alter all. A publisher
offered him four hundred thousand francs,
but he demanded the round sum of q mil
lion. For the fables of La Fontain, upon
the illustrations of which he is now en-
ployed, he receives five hundred francs
for each one, and it is said that after max
ing his studies he draws two a day, for
which he receives cash on delivery. He
may be seen almost every day now at the
Jardin des Plantes, studying the move
ments and peculiarities of the animals
which will occupy places in this great
work.
Mr.. Nellis, known everywhere through
out the country as the "man born without
arms" died recently byapoplexy, in Boil
via, South America. He was q native of
Johnstown, Fulton county, New York,
and was forty-eight years of age at the
time of his death. His speciality wasthat
he was born without arms, and had so
carefully educated his feet, that he was
enabled to perform with those members
all that could be accomplished by more
fortunate individuals. He could use the
pen and scissors very expertly-writing
an admirable hand, and cutting profles
with an accuracy that was perfectly won
derful.
