Outrageous.

About three miles from the city yesterday
it was discovered that the wires of the Pa
cific and Atlantic Telegraph Company had
been torn down and broke to pieces, and
also at the east end Of the suspension bridge
the wires had been tied together, so as to
prevent them from working. 1t is to be
hoped that the perpetrator ofthis outrageous
proceeding may be brought to justice. Mr..
Gentry, the manager in this city, has Of

importance of writing Right.

A communication received by us yester-
day relative to our local railroad interests
probably embraces matter of considerable
importance. The only Objectionable feature
about it, and which prevents us furnishing
it to our readers, is that we cannot read it
ourselves. The document furnishes another
striking illustration to the melancholy fact
that the schoolmaster is certainly abroad.

.Agnes. Love Thee p,

The Marquis of Lorne has commenced
writing poetry. This is his last:
stood upon the oceans briny shore,
And with fragile reed wrote
Upon the sand
"Agnes, I love thee!'
The mad waves rolled by and blOtted out
The fair impression.
FraiIr reed Cruel wavel Treacherous sand!
I'll trusf you no more;
But with giant hand I'll pluck
From Norway'S foreign shore
Her tallest pine, and dip its top
Into the crater of Vesuvius.
And upon the high and FURNISHED heavens
Pll write
"Agnes, love thee"
And would like to see any
Damned wave wash that out

The day dawned barren ard chilly,
An east wind rallied al the pane.
Gray fog yelled the leafng chestnut,
Where arobin sang IN the rain:
Sang in the rain his sweetest
ssCheer-up, o chcef-up, cheer;'i
The eye could not catch the warbler.
But his voice rang silvery clear.
Blasts shook the tree by the shoulder,
The tree cried out with pain;
But somewhere, high in the LEAKAGE,
A robin sang In the rain.
He might have sang to the angels,
But think he sung to US here;
The sinless need not the counsel
"Cheer-up, o cheer-up, cheer
To the music pages above him
He looked as the blind may look,
g. No ssar-notes guided the singer, &C.,
Cloud fingers had shut the book;
Yet well he had learned the carol,
And he sang It out Of his heart:
Nor once was 1t worth his asking
When the veil would fall apart
"Cheer-up, cheer-up, o cheer-up,S
Still the sad leaves among,
His beautiful breast was bubbling
A fountain Of raptured song.
Il never can flow SO welcome
Under sky all blue;
What Il the lesson be teaches7
learned it, and 90 may you.
