LONGING.
BY JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL.

OF all the myriad moods Of mind
That through the soul come thronging,
Which one was eer so dear, so kind,
So beautiful as Longing?
The thing we long for, that we are.
For one transcendent moment;
Before the Present, poor and bare,
Can make Its sneering comment.
Still, through our paltry stir and strife,
CLOVIS down the wished ideal;
And Longing moulds in clay what life
Carves in the marble real;
To let the new life in, we know,
Desire must 0pe the portal;
Perhaps the Longing to be so
Helps make the soul immortal.
Longing Is Gods fresh heaycnward will,
With our poor earthward striving;
We quench 1t that we may be still
Content with merely living;
But would we learn that hearts full scope,
Which we are hourly wronging,
Our lives must climb from hope to hope,
And realize our Longing.
An! let us hope that to our praise
Good God not only reckons
The moments when we tread Ills ways,
But when the spirit beckons.
That some slight good is also wrought
Beyond self-satisfaction,
When we are simply good in thought,
Howe'er we fail in action.

Our Delaware Nominees.

TFT0m Tic THl1aItlpHId FTtss, 1UtTI.I
The Republicans of Delaware met in conven-
tion at Dover, yesterday, and nominated Hon.
Thomas b. Corrsey for Governor, and Hon. Josh
ua L. Head for Congress. Both these gentle-
men are well and favorably known in the State
and will doubtless be elected. Mr.. Head has
for many years been prosperous merchant at
Wilmington, and by his remarkable energy and
public spirit, has rendered eminent service i'll
making that beautiful city model of enterprise
and industry. While taking an active part in
politics. as every good citizen should. he has al
ways avoided personal prominence, and repeat
edly refused nomination for office. He at one
time during the war consented to serve as Chair
man of the State Central Committee, and by his
untiring zeal secured the election of Hon. Will
liam Cannon as Governor, patriotic, high-toned
Christian gentleman, who died soon after taking
tho Gubornatnria chair II Mr. Head should he
elected to represent the State i'll the National
Councils, as we earnestly hope he may be, he
would render good service.

BY private dispatches received from Oregon,
by Senator Williams and others, it is asccrtained
that the election is exceedingly close, and it is
impossible to foretell the exact result.
1t is judged from the best information that the
Democrats have carried the State ticket, electing
the Governor, and that the Republicans have Sc
cured the Legislature, with majority of two or
three on joint ballot, assuring Mr.. Williams re-
turn to the United States Senate.
His own county, which two years ago gave $50
Democratic majority, now gives the Republican
ticket 400 majority.

TRADE ON THE TIDE WATER CANAL.-As we
spring-the trade on this canal has been very
brisk. From thirty to forty boats leave daily, in
the tows for the New York. Philadelphia and
Baltimore markets. The stock of lumber at the
up river mills is very heavy and as the freights
and tolls on the Tide Water and Pennsylvania
canals, are very low, the great body of it comes
this route to market. The continued strike in
the Schuylkill coal regions, has a tendency to
make the coal trade on the Susquehanna more
lively.--Hdrre de Grace Republican.

PARTICULARS OF THE SAD EVENT.


The London kilograms of Friday state the
following particulars of the death of Charles
Dickens:-
He was entertaining party at dinner, at his
residence at Gad's Hill, on Wednesday, when lie
was suddenly seized with alarming symptoms
Of Illness depriving him Of speech and volition,
and was thought to be dying. He was immedi-
ately conveyed to his chamber, and medical as
sistance was rapidly summoned. Upon the arri-
val of the physician, he pronounced him to be
under the influence of formidable stroke Of
apoplexy. Immediate remedies were prescribed
and everything done to alleviate his suffer
ngs, but IL was all useless, the great novelist
still remained in comatose state, from which it
| was impossible to rouse him.
| A consultation of physicians failed to develop
| a remedy for this unfortunate coma. Mr. Dick
ems still lay in that dangerous state of insensi-
bility, and from the time of the attack until six
o'clock Thursday evening he lay motonless, be-
trayng no signs of life.
The physicians, alarmed at his condition, at sis
O'Clock examined him to detect signs of breath
ing, but the last Pickering spark of life had ex
pired, and shortly after six o'clock the great nov
elst was pronounced dead, having given nj
signs of life, and remaining almost utterly insen
sble until the hour of his DEATH

CoNTRADIcrED.-The reported fit of madpess
with which Thomas Clayton, of this county was
attacked while on a visit to the citv of Whining
ton, is now contradicted SO far as the person
named is concerned A correspondent, gentle
man of standing and veracity, writes us that the
poor mailman must have assumed or bore a
name similar to that of Mr.. Claytons. The
story was published in the daily papers both OF
Wilmington and Philadelphia before it reached
our columns Medic American.
The only mistake in the published statements
was the assertion, which we believe originated
with the American itself, that the unfortunate
man was brother of Governor Clayton OF Ar.
kansas. We are told by those who know him that
he was a cousin to that gentleman. His name
was not obtained from himself but from people
| in this CITY who know him.

Tho announcement of the death of Charles
Dickens the novelist. Having had no previous
intimation of Ills illness, this news is unexpected
as il is painful. In his portraiture OF human

While at the table, Miss Hogarth, seated near
him, observed evident signs Of distress upon his
countenance, and then made remark to him
that he must be ILL., To this Mr.; Dickens replied,
80 no, have only got headache; / shall be

He then asked that an open window be shut.
and almost Immediately became unconscious and
fell back in a chair insensble.
1t is stated that Mr.. Dickens has several times
of late, complained that he experienced consider
able difficulty in working, because his powers oi
application were becoming impotent. He alst
said his thoughts no longer came to him as spon

to continue reading, because he WAS doing 80 a

wm. A. Hukill, one of the Republican compet-
itors for the Sheriffs nomination, publishes a
manly card, elsewhere, in which he ayows his
purpose to support Thomas Harvey who re-
ceived the nomination, and urges his friends to
do the same All the candidates, we believe,
have now publicly expressed themselves on the
subject, and we urge that if any drcgs of unliind
feeling remain in tho mind of any one, it is time
they were cast out. We know Thomas Harvey to
be worthy, Industrious, and upright man pop
,ilar with all who know him a sincere, earnest,
and working Republican; and entirely deserving
of the favor of his party and qualified to fill the
position to which he has been named. Let his
friends, and the whole of his party now do JUS
tice to their candidate and with closed ranks,
carry him forward with sweeping majority.
