A REGULAR NUIsANcB.-An evil tb st
calls loudly for redress 10 the way 10 which
she runners for the various hotels Of this
city annoy passengers who arrive on ths

these two-leggsd wolves and dragged
around amid dcafsning shouts uatil she
no longer could tell whether she was on
earth or in that other place where Satan is
said to preside. Finally .one Of the fellows.
more daring than the rest, fairly lifted the
confused and frightened being into an ON

emerged, her senses having probably again
come to. She then sought fsisnds who had
come with her on the train and walked OF
in their company. Others were served in

UNWRITTEN MUSIC.
BY HORACE Il. DURANr,

The soft, enchanting strains may flow,
With dance, and song, and wine,
And gorgeous lamps fling out their glow,
Where wit and beauty shine:
In prineely halls they may forget:
That pain or woe can be;
And dream this life away-but yet.
These have no charms for me.
Oh. give to me the simple notes,
From guileless hearts that rise
The language of the soul that floats,
Just caught from Paradisel
Oh, letme hear each thrilling strain,
The rush OF tuneful wings:
lis surely worth this life of pain
To know the bliss it brings!
Awake, oh Spring, with voice CT song,
The cold, still form of death;
And breathe Ger all thy blooming thrOng,
The incense of thy BREATH
Come gOlden-iruited Summer time,
With dropping blade at noon,
. While streamlets babble like a rhyme,
Beneath the leaves of June!
Steal like a sigh, within a hush
OF woe, oh, Autumn still
1inge all the woods with hectic hush,
And shroud each pensive hill;
Hang all thy drapery of dreams,
Ger vale and mountain blue
And whisper hope TO lonely streams,
Where faded beauty grewI
Sweep all thy harps of wailing Storm
Oh, Winter, cold and bleak;
Shout hoarsely in the tempest's form,
To surgcs moan and shrek:
Like ocean roar through forests brown,
Sway all the grOaning pines:
And let the monarch oak go down,
Round which the ivy twines.
Great orchestra. of winds and waves,
e seasons, as ye glide,
our M ghty anthems are not slaves,
To rank. or wealth, OF pride!
Unwritten Music Heart and soul,
May claim ye for their OyTn;
For them. your strains in grandeur roll
They feel your thrill alone.
UnHritten Music Thou hast tears.
Aye. sometimes let them flow!
Thou hast the memories of years,
The loved of long ago;
Thou hast the hands that we have grasped,
The lips that We have pressed:
Thou hast the forms that we have clasped
And pillOWed on our breast.
Thou living anthem Free and wild,
Untamed by mortal art,
From thee. earths longing, wistful child,
May learn hfe's nobler part
Then let me hear each thrilling stream,
The rush of tuneful wings.
lis surely worth life of pain,
To feel the bliss it bringsl

To BE a State Prisoner Is a
Good Thing.

If the following from the Norfolk
correspondece of the Philsbelphla In
o1tirer be true, we think Mr.. JEFF. Da-
Wis has cause to congratulate himself
on his incarceration in Fortress Mon
roe:
I have been to Fortress Monroe to
gaze upon the "sterE statesmen" Mr..
Davis looks very well, which is not diff
ficult to account for, as he is in place
proYerbial for its salnbrity, Is free from
all restrictions within a vast inclosuse,
enioying the most expensive luxuries,
and making money By doing nothing
faster than he could do it by any
amount of labor. Formerly the letters
to him were examined, and when Gen.
Miles was relieved from the command
of the fort, over SIS 900 had been re-
ceiVed in contributions from the faith
full to the false god of their idolatry.
These evidences were not, at the time
of their receipt, handed over to Mr..
Davis, but are, without doubt, held as
his property, even if the greater leni-
ency since exhibited in all other re-
spects may MOI already have occa-
stoned them to be handed over. But
however this is, for a long time past
the illustrious prisoner has received all
letters and packages without their ex--
animation, and as their number and
bulk has not diminished, it is probable
that he is at this moment enjoying as
good an income as the President of the
United States. On Christmas day there
arrived an amount of presents which
nearly broke down the resources of
two express companies. 1t is curious
fact that many of these presents came
from Boston.
Mr.. Davis, being only bound by pa
role, is quartered in a part OF the fort
so obviously insecure that he could at
any time escape. This suggests the
idea that some authorities, properly es-
timating the value of secesh paroles,
as shown by many late examples, have
hit upon an expedient, !. e., escape, as
a means of getting rid of the "white
but JEFF. will not be likely
to leave a position where he is so well
off, besides undergoing retirement from
the throne of very cheap and easy
martyrdom.
