PEEPINe THROUGH THE BLINDS.

PEEPING THROUGH THE BLINDS.
In place of works. or books, or play,
Some ladies spend the live long day
In scanning every pAsser by,
And many a wonder they descry.
They find among the motley crowd,
That some are gay, and some are proud;
That some are short, and some are tall;
They get their information all,
By peeping through the blinds.
You walk the street (at common pace,)
You catch the outline of q taee
The face seems strange, again you look,
Dear sir, she knows you like book,
She knows the color of your hair,
The very style of clothes you wear;
She knows your business, Eli be bound.
And all your friends the country round,
By peeplng through the blinds.
She knows the Smiths, across the way,
And what they dine on every day;
And thinks that their Matilda Jane
Is growing very prond and vain.
She knows the Browns, at No. -Four.
Just opposite her very door;
Folks quite as poor as poor can be.
For don't they sit and sew, while she
Is peeping through the blinds,
Dear ladies, II you don't succeed
In gaining knowledge that you need,
Then at the window take seat,
And gaze into the busy street;
Full soon you'll read your neighbors we'll
And can their tastes and habits tell;
And know their business to It,
Much better than your own, you see,
By peeping through the blinds.

Death of: Charles Dickens,

CHARLES DICKENS is dead. He was, per-
baps, the most gifted genius of his day.
He was the creator Of an entirely new style
Of fictitious literature, and was the most
accurate delineator OF the humorous and
the tragic phases of the lowest orders Of
human society who ever wrote. His earlier
essays In this line are inimitable. He be-
came philanthropist, and switched off the
line in which his greatest achievements lay,
and impaired the glory Of his fame to some
extent by making his novels too strictly
efforts at reform. Poets and noyelists are
not the best reformers, and are often them
selves prone to crotehets and eccentricities
which need reformation. But DICKENS
compensated for his own errors and
the mistakes which married the bril-
iiancy Of some of his own works by the
sweet humanity which bloomed and Diff
fused it's delicious fragrance through hun-
dreds Of pages Of his best productions. His
name will live through ages, and his works
are amongst those which will endure and be
read until such time as win leave but little
OF the age In which we live for man to learn
and to know.
CHARLES DICKENS was born at Ports
mouth, England, on February, 1872. His
iather was q naval officer ut the naval sta
tion Of that place. The elder DICKENS In
Tended his son for the profession Of the law,
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1870-06-11

OF all the mean things done in the low
estate to which Congress has fallen, that step
taken Yesterday to bring PAT WooDs to the
bar of the House Of Representatives for
striking PORTER in the face is the most con-
temptible. The attack was an outrage. PAT
was drunk, and knew not what he did.
But the resolution Of Congress for bring
inc PAT before the bar OF the House Is
itself an outrage, and without precedent.
There is no warrant for the step. The per-
sonal attack was no invasion of representa-
tive rights, no infringement of the priyi-
leges of member of Congress. 1t is an
other of the little acts of hectoring over the
country to inspire fear Of Congress. But
it cannot come to anything. Assuredly, the
moment the matter is looked into 1t must
come to ridicule.
What pusillanimous affair it lin FOR
TER, who has been initiating SUMNER, ana
showing his face around for sympathy.
P.s. Since the above was written WOODS
has been arrested here by the United States
Marshal and taken prisoner to Washing:
ton. He was under bonds to appear before
Judge GU1GoN to answer for the attack on
PORTER. His arrest by order of Congress
is an infringement of State Jurisdiction, and
is without precedent in this country. Ii is
an act of petty tyranny, and another eA'
preston of the contempt of Congress 1oi
the States.
