THE POETS SONG.
BY LIS. MILNE, y.


Time waved his wing. snd sped his rapi'
flight;
Full many moons had faded from the scene;
Gone, like the meteors OF the starry night,
And memory sicken'd over what bad been
Delusire j,J had bid long fareweili
Twas false, and leeting, as the whistling
Hlnd,
Whose way mysterious, morta! cannot tell
Twas gone-nor LEFT gleam OF hope b.
hind.
But sorrows seal upon the mind impressd
Through wasting years will still retain its
Flaee;
Despair, when seated in the cankered breast
The hand of time may sOothe-but not d-
face.
Be still-dark spirit-in this htlle state
or brief existence, why should we c-,n-
plaing
Can eeSssIess murmurs change the will Of
fatei
All no. our gloomy imasinings are vain.
Bless Pees, thou hast ethereal bower.
With blighting fruits, beside 4 eFystal
stream;
Immortal blooms each bright celestial
flower,
And heavenly music wakes Il poets
theme.
Elysien fields and spicy groves among,
The tnnefuI sisters ever love 70 stray;
While balmy zephyrs bear melodious song,
And fragrant odors through the realms Of
day.
There may the lover Of the Mrses ioain;
In visions bright, the pleasing hours en-
ploy;
Forget that earth h as ever been his home,
Till misery's bitter cup be filled with JOY.
Since lasting joy we mortal, cannot know,
Let fancy spurn the cham, and spread her
wings,
Beyond the bounds Of discomfort and woe,
To feast and banquet on unreal things.
Gull sll the sweets that grew in fairy land;
Beneath the rose. should coiliug serPents
hiss,
Transform the reptile with the magic wand,
And cheat the soul into dream of bliss.
Or while old Time, careering ceaseless on,
Sweeps from the world the race of man as
worms.
Men natIOns-t mpires-to oblivion gone,
Like Insects borne away by wintry storms.
Tls ours to snatch from ruins wreck away,
What things may s-rVe for saiulary woe.
And while we dream, thro' liie's deinsive

Bid heaven born sympathy for others flOw.

are now in operation twelve soup

generosity of j. G.. Bennett, at
which thirteen thousand persons
were yesterday furnished soup,
and two thousand gallons are dis
tributed daily at three soup kitch-

clothing having been furnished
to the Guild by philanthropic citi-
zens, and within the same time
he volunteer members of the
Guild have called upon and re-
lieved at their homes some three
thousand families. The Herald
publishes numerous instances in
which the poor have been relieved
by these visitors when almost
upon the verge of starvation. Re-

RICHMOND, March 2.-Horace
Venerable, colored, convicted of
the murder of Mary Holmes, col
ored, last May, and sentenced to
be hung next Friday, had his SEN
tence committed this morning by
the governor to eighteen years
in the penitentiary, for the rea-
son that it is not believed his
crime was wilful, deliberate and
premeditated and that evidence
now before the executive, but not
heard at the trial, reduces the
offence to murder in the second
degree. The clemency was asked
by many petitioners, including
the commonwealth attorney who
prosecuted the case. The prison
er's intellect is extremely weak.

FASHION GOSSIP.

One of the ornaments picked
out for the coming bonnet is the
Russian pon,poa. 1t is of several
colors nicely blended, and stands
upright from the side of the
headgear like an Illuminated
cornstaIk. OF course it will be
fashionable Anything imported
and with as high sounding name
as Russian pompon" cannot fail
to be.
Those large and awk ward-look-
ing fans will not be fashionable
next Summer, we hear. The
substitute is very pretty and ser
viceable, not usually a common
combination in these days. The
shape is Pompadour, and there is
ample space for crest, monogram,
initials, or "Scribbling," on either
side. "Scribbling," en- PEASANT, is
quite as fashionable now as it was
twenty years ago.
Spring sunshine invariably re-
wives the fashion of wells among
ladies who are exercised about
their complexion. Inc SHlail,
dotted lace veil, it is reasonable to
presume, will be the most popular
for ordinary wear, and the gauze
affair for morning shopping ex-
cur5ions. The latter serves to
cover up your old bonnet, pending
the manufacture of your new one.
The new French flowers for
Spring bonnets are exquisite: We
hear that the manufacturers have
introduced flowers this season,
hitherto unknown. save In nature
and, from the magnificent assort-
mert imported, this statement
can readily be credited. The pref
test and most expensive flowers
this season are made Of null, SO
adroitly formed and tinted that it

natural from the artificial. The
business of manufacturing flowers
has wonderfully increased in Pa

NEW YORK, March 2. DR.. Dio
Lewis, now in this city, recon-
mends conducting the temperance
movement here in the same man
ner as at the West. He proposes
to district the city; ten ladies to a
street, and each band to go through
the saloons in the district, making
a short prayer in each. When they
get through the district, let them

faith in the efficacy of prayer alone
in effecting the object intended.
Henry Ward Beecher during
services yesterday expressed great
sympathy with the women's tenn

suppose the battle would befought
by one generation, but will have
to be renewed by each successive
ly. He gives great praise to the

A CURIOSITY.

Mention was made in these coll
unms several days since, of an I'M
mense steer, nearly six feet in
height, and supposed to weigh
about 900 pounds. The steer was
purchased a few days ago by
Messrs, John Morrissey and Chas.
Howell, of this city, and will be
exhibited, previous to being
slaughtered, during the remainder
of this week.
The steer weighed 4,030 pounds,
and was transferred from the farm
of his owner, Mr.. d. r. Mcneil,
in Hardy county, to Patterson's
Creek, in wagon drawn by eight
horses, as he was unable to travel.
The steer is. we understand,
the largest ever seenin this section
and we doubt not that he viii be
visited by large numbers of peo-
pie. Cumberland NelCS.

EFFEMINATE MEN An eff
Terminate man, says a recent
writer, is weak poultice. He is
a cross between table beer and
ginger pop, with the cork left out,
a fresh water mermaied found in
Il COW pasture with her hand filled
with dandelions. He is a teacup
full of syllabub, a kitten in trow-
sers; sick monkey with blonde
moustach. He is a vine without
any tendrils; a fly drowned in
oil; paper kite in deal calm.
He likes a butterfiy--nobody can
tell why. He is as harmless as a
pennyworth of sugar candy, and
as useless as Il shirtbutton without
4 hole, He is ms lazy as a slug,
and has no more hope than last
years. summer fly. He goes
through life on tiptoe, and dies
like cologne water split over the
ground.
