Live for the present calmly wait,
Trnst not 70 future, chance or fate,
Thy needed greis TO diS>ipatc.
Aai for omissions to atone,
IT'S useless to rcpinc or moan;
Now is the day that's thine alcnc.
For chance is icklc--fntc is hlind
Past scenes, pat joys are all bchhd,
And God alone is wise and kind.
And keen regrets will nc'er restore
Friends that are thine on earth no more,
They wat thee on the unseen shore.
And what to them, the care or woe
That others feel or others know,
Their tolls are past long years ago.
Live for the prcscmt-welcome still
With earnest thought and ready will
Each duty and each station fill;
Nor for the past-"Give u3 this day
Our daily bread, ,"-wc're taught to pray,
With thankful, trusting hearts alway.
Not for the futurc-timc will show
The coming veal or appointed woe,
Fruits OF what now thy hand shall SOW.

RELEASE OF ACCOMPLISHED VILLAINS
% Sunday, the 2lst of April, as stated in the
Gazette at that time, four men. Phil. Stanly,
VIM. Walton, Jos. Buford, and Jack Wright,
were brought to this city, from Washington,
BY Col. Wood and ". ". Levy, detectives,
aud confined separately, and each with a guard,
in four rooms in the attic Of the Mansion
House. They were arrested for the robbery OF
Paymaster Belknap, in the Brooklyn Navy
Yard, four years ago, of $4,000 of govern
ment money, and we're brought TO this city to
avoid the possibility of a release under a writ
Of habeas corpus, which had been applied for
in their behalf in Washington city. They re-
mained-with the exception of Wright, who
escaped about a week ago-in their agreeable
prison house, bounteously supplied with the
delicacics of the season and choicest brands OF
liquors, until Thursday evening last, when,
without Judge or Jury they were turned loose.

CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO CANAL.-A notice
of the breaks that occurred yesterday on the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal was published in
yesterdays Gazette. The following additional
particulars of the break at Georgetown are OBJ
tanned this morning. About four o'clock yes
terday morning the bank of the canal between
Welch's Touring mill and the Cumberland
Coal Company's docks, gave way, causing a
fearful flow of water, which would have done a
vast amount Of damage to the adjoining prop
erty, had it not been somewhat checked by Mr..
WEIGH and others, filling the break with
boards, bales of hay, &c. The bank at that
place is about fifteen feet wide, and was made
by building a dry stone wall filled IN with
earth, which it is supposed, the rats had bur-
rowed, causing the water to leak through and
undermine the bank, and form an opening be-
tween the walls of the embankment for a length
of 100 feet or more. The lower part of
Welch's mill was overAowed, and considerable
damage done to the grain stored there. The
Cuberland Coal Comply sustained some slight
damage also. These particulars are from the
Washington Union.
The Superintendent Immediately set his
men to work to repair the damages, and they
expect to be able to let the water in next Mon
dav. In the meantime The mills and manutac-
tories operating with water power will cease,
and no boats can pass into tie Aqueduct.
