SEEN ONCE.

cannot shake the spell her passing weaves,
Though distance drops a curtain dense
between,
My daily thinking is peopled scene,
And there she rules, to that her action cleaves
My open books are only dials now,
On which time points her absence by her
face,
And lets me neither wit nor knowledge
trace,
Nor other lapse of daylight will allow.
This pen, my chattel, she beguiles to dream !;
1t leaves the task as though thrilling
hand
She lifted with her own; decoy unplann'd
Through all that looks at me her glances
stream.
Her gestures are portion of my day,
To her good seems worth the rest of life,
Each pulse of mine her image takes to wife |;
And yet know her not-and never may.

Bend DER my bosom thy forehead which

Whisper, o whisper sweet words in mine ear,
Say that thou lowest me-what rapture to

Gliding therivulets which dance on its Drinks;

Graded rest on thee, lovely one.

Let God forgive them-I utter no prayer;
Now let them listen, while prayful pour
All my hearts offerings on her I adore.

cadet CLINTON ii. TrBBErTs, appointed
from this Congressional District, won
honorable class-standing, at this exam

their expectations in his career at West

The election ola Lieutenant Governor has
not hitherto attracted much attention. But
as such officer becomes Governor in case of
the death resignation or removal of the Gov
crnor from office, the election ought not to be
overlooked or permitted TO 90 by default.
\ writer in your paper of the lst inst,
speaks in complimentary terms Of Gen.
Churchill and by comparison disparages Maj
Hampstead The writer it is believed does in
justice to Maj. Hampstead In point of ca
pacity he is certainly the equal, indeed more
than the equal of Gen. Churchill. As to their
political antecedcntS and present position, the
former will certainly not suffer by a acompari-
son with the latter. Churchill was an origi-
nal and active seccssionists, while Hampstead
was an original union man. and earnestly op-
posed the prccipitatc action of the secession
ISIS. After the war WAS brought on by the
folly and madness OF desperate extremists In
the North and in the south, Hampstead with
n large majority of the original union men in
the State sympathized with the southcrn peo-
pie. The war being over he returned to his
allegiance in good faith, and is now as he was
In the past II national conservative union
man, opposed alike 10 extremists, whether Of
the North or of the South.

the bill. There was an immense attend
