United States circuit court for Virginia rice
GEORGE 4. PEARRE, whose nomination the
Senate will probably reject. If this rumor
shall prove to be tue, Virginia will be in
deed blessed in her Federal judges. After
our people become as well acquainted with

LOVE REJECTED,

Blest is he whose loves unspoken,
But flames within his manly breast
love that him is almost choking,
Yet is prudently suppressed.
happy indeed is he
Who can boast Of such a treasure
As love that yet remains to bo
Poured forth in volumes without measure
Such love is pleasure-while mine is pain
Its possessor is favored elf
And as such may for while remain
If he keeps the secret to himself
l might boast well as he,
With hopes bright and fears cen less,
Had not been led by fattery
My love to openly confess.
But, alas through fate ah, cruel fate
'Tis mournfuly the thoughts reflected
grew impatent-coud not wait
Told my love and it rejected

About eleven o'clock, Christmas night, some
eight or ten men, all frst-rate fellows and none
of them sober, started in for a frolic. In the
short space of three or four hours they imbbed
fifteen gallons of lager beer and gallon of whs-
ky, beng at least gallon and a half of bee:
and about pint of whisky to each man. Nor
was music with " charms to soothe the savage
breast" wanting. Next to the unreasonable
amount of liquor drank, the stag dancing
The boys capered not g to the asciyious pleasing
of the flute" but to the shrll squeaking of

else did, the affair was conducted under Irish
auspices. Unlike " Lanigan' S Ball " and q Dom
nybrook Fair y none of the boys sought for
some one to Place tread on the tail of me
coat" jolly chaps were they all. The "enemy
which men put in their mouths to steal away
