When his lay Of love woke "a voice in me,
And I essayed to sing.

As song of bird might be;
MY answering strain was mOuruful and sad
AS sat meath that Lfnden-trees
For close by the bird on the Ldnden-tree
Ferched mate with folded wing;
But never a mate was there for me.
TO listen while might sing.
MY spring was past and my life was lone.
Love never had beamed on me.

Of that bird on the Llnden-tree
Iae little bird sang on the IInden-tree
Wmen sumner was warm and briuhf
And oh could answer his nnlnFfrsf5s+
With song Of deep delight
For the heart had long despaired to gain
Had blOssOmed with love for me.
Oh, joyi we were one who had once been
twain,
And we sat meath that Linden-tree.

Anticipated Trouble mt Samana - Private
Dispatches sent to all the Navy Yards.
The monitor Miantonomah has been ordered
to proceed to sea as soon as she can be fitted
out. This vessel, it will be remembered, was
put in sailing trim at Philadelphia, and ordered
to New York some two or three weeks since.
While in the bay her steering apparatus became
disarranged, and now private dispatches from
Washington order her TO proceed to sea as soon
as her ruddel gearing can be put in order, which
will probably take about three days. Her desti-
nation is said to be Samana, 1t is said that the
European powers are taking measures to prevent
the cession of that portion of the Island of st..
Domingo to the United States. Private des-
spatches were sent from Washington yesterday
to all the navy yards, and work will be pushed
forward vigorously on all vessels now fitting out.
