OF all amusoments of the mind
From logic down to fishing,
There is not one that you can find
So very cheap as wishing"
A very choice diversion, too,
If you but rightly use it,
: And not, as we are apt to do,
Pervert itand abuse it.
wish--a COMMON wish indeed
My purse was aomething fa'ter;
That night cheer the child of need,
And not my pride to nater.
That might make oppression reel
AS gold can only make it,
And break the tyrants rod of steel
AS gold can only break it.
I wish-that sympathy and love,
And every human passion
That has its origin above,
Would come and keep in fashion;
Thut scorn, and jealousy and hate,
And every base emotion,
Were hurled fifty fathcmS deep
Beneath the waves Of ocean.
I wish-that friends were alwar .ue,
And motives always pure;
! wish the good were NO. 50 few,
I'll, - Id ,,ara
I wish that parsons neer forgot
To heed their pious teaching;
I wish that praoticing was not
So different from preaching.
I wish that modest worth might be
Appraised with truth und candor;
wish that iunocents we're free
From trcachesy rnd :lander;
wish that men their VOWS would mind,
That women ne'er were rovers;
I wish that wives we're always kind,
And husbands always lovers.
wish-in fnc--that joy and mirth,
Aud every good ideal,
May como ere while throughout the EARL
To be glorious real;
Till God shall every creature bless
With his supremest blessing
Aud hope be lost in happiness,
And wishing be possessing.

TIE POLLARD.GRANT TRAGEDY.
state m ents of T.. A. Pollard-James Grant
Held to Bail.

In our dispatches from Richmond yesterday
II was briefly mentioned that james Grant,
who shot IL. kives Pollard, was examined yes
terday morning. and bailed in $4,000 to ans wer
al the Febr uary term. The Stdte Journal OF
last evening gives some details OF the exami-
nation before he Mayor, and says
"Before Mr.. Grant had been released on bail,
MIR. +. A. Pollard made his appearance in the
courtroom and stated to the Mayor that he
mad understood Mr.. Grant would be admitted
to bal. He had some witnesses whose testi-
mony he thought might have the effect 10 cause
the Mayor TO reverse his decision. He then
stated that he expected to be able to prove by
two witnesses, who overheard the converse
tion, that Mr.. Slower, friend of the Grant
family, had called upon his brother az his
house on the night before the publication Of the
paper, and eDde2vored to prevail upon him
not 10 publish the article. His brother
said to him that the press had never felt
the least delicacy about publishing any
and had dragged them all remorselessly before
the public, ana bad never considered II wrong
to piilory their names in full, whenever any
thing with which rumor remotely connected
them; and this course on the part Of the public
and the press had completely soured HIM, and
he had determined to spare none In future who
should lay themselves liable TO public censure
or crltleism "You may tell Mr.. Grant, how
ever," said he, sthat L Will publish any ex-
planation he may choose to make, without a
single alteration, no matter what he nay say;
but 1 have fairly examined the facts in the
case. and find they warrant the publication,
and Will not suppress it," This conversa-
tion was overheard by a lady In the house and
another person. His brother did not hear any
thing further from the Grant family.
Mr. Pollard then remarked to the Mayor that
he bad no idea the matter would be So prompt
ly disposed OF this morning, or he would have
been present with his counsel, Judge Crump,
and the witnesses referred to, whom he hoped
might be heard before the prisoner should be
admitted to bail.
The Mayor replied that he would give his
witnesses and counsel a hearing tomorrow at
10 o'clock.
Nr. w. h. Watts. of the firm of Putnam Il
Watts, signed his baIl-bond for $1,000. and
James Grant went forth into the sunlight of
the world again-and was borne to his fathers

ylded in anticipation of his release.
