Having fast power presses, the best material, and skilled workmen, enables us to do Job Work at the lowest figures and best manner. Poetry of the War. A correspondent sends us the subjoin ed poetical effusions for publication. They are, as he writes us, “the produc tion of John Tyler Waller, who was a Midshipman on board the School ship Patrick Henry, and lost his life during the war. To those who knew him, eulo gy would be unnecessary, for well were they aware that in John Tyler Waller was embodied every principle and virtue that constitutes true bravery. The first was written upon his being placed under arrest for doing what every Midshipman conceives to be his right—to set all rules and regulations at defiance where his sweetheart is concerned and in the second he portrays “the sentiments of his whole class.” The latter contains more poetry than the former; but there is a vein of satire which runs through the first that makes it very readable; and, to oblige our cor respondent, we give them a place iu our columns. They were written on board the School-ship Patrick Henry, off Drury's Bluff, James River, in February, 1864, and the letter was dedicated to the graduating.class: “HOMER'S ILLIAD.” FREELY TRANSLATED BY J. T. W. Dill Parker’s wrath, alas! the direful spring Os woes to Waller, heavenly goddess sing— That wrath which hurled to lone and dark arrest, The soul of Waller. Spirit of the blest, Inspire my lay, and mako my knrp resound, "While wondering nations listen to the sound. Young Waller, noblest of his nation’s sons, To Richmond sets out, and the blockade ruus, Purposing there with his true love to stay, Till wandering Phoebus marks declining day. The deed accomplished, he again returns, Unmindful of the heavy wrath that burns And flames remorselessly in Parker’s breast, That binds the culprit to his dark arrest. Then, Mr. Johnston*, hastening away. Unto the Captain, thus to him did say : “Young Waller has returned, and I to you Have come, to seeo what with him I must do.’’ Then Parker lifts his head and raised his tone, His anger in his gleaming eyes is shown : “Place him forthwith under arrest,” he said, ' And see my order that 'tis well obeyed : It shall he done, tho’ all the world should rouse .’"f * Ho speaks, and awful bonds his sable brows, Snakes his ambrosial curls, and gives a stamp — The awful sanction of a Commandant. In silence, Johnston the dread signal takes, And the “Patrick Henry” to tho centre shakes. * The Executive Officer. f Alluding to bis relationship with Mrs. Jeff Davis CLASS SONG. BY MIDSHIPMAN J. T. W. Come, fill up, ye middies, till they overflow Your glasses with white wine and red, "We’ll drink till Aurora with deep crimson glow Calls the lubber ashore from his bed. Wo bound o’er the billow, we rock on the wave, Our life has no sorrow or care ; "We’ve a tongue for good liquors, a hand for the brave, And a true, loving heart for the fair. Then heave ho ! there’s joy below, For the Middies whose hearts have no care— We’U fill up our glasses till they overflow, And drink a deep toast to tho fair. The flag of our country is waving on high Over hearts that are manly aud true — We've sworn with its colors to conquer or die, And carry unstained its deep hue. Then fill up your glasses, I’ll give you a toast, "While the bottle is taking its round, Here’s a kiss to the girl that we each one love most, And success where’er we are bound. Then heave ho ! there's joy below For the Middies whose hearts have no care— We’ll fill up our glasses till they overflow And drink a deep toast to the fair. The Beauty of Old People. —Men and women make their own beauty or their own ugliness. Sir Edward Lytton speaks in one of his novels of a man “who was uglier than he had any busi ness to be;” and, if he could but read it, every human being carries his life in his face, and is good looking or the reverse as that life has been good or evil. On our features the fine chisel of thought and emotion are eternally at work!— Beauty is not the monopoly of blooming young men and of white and pink maids. There is a slow growing beauty which only comes to perfection in old age. Grace belongs to no period of life, and goodness improves the lopger it exists. I have seen sweeter smiles on a lip of sev enty than lever saw on a lip of sev enteen. There is the beauty of youth, and there is also the beauty of holiness— a beauty much more seldom met; and more frequently found in the arm-chair by the fire, with grandchildren around its knee, than in ball-room or the promenade. Husband and wife, who have fought the world side by side; who have made com mon stock of joy and sorrow, and aged together, are not unfrequently found curiously alike in personal appearance and in pitch and tone of voice—just as twin pebbles on the beach exposed to tho same tidal influences, are each oth er’s alter ego. He has gained a femi nine something which brings his man hood into full relief. She has gained a masculine something which actsas a foil to her womanhood. \ew Advert IsementSi fiBdCERIES. k BARRELS STUART'S 0 EXTRA SYRUP 10 bbla Stuart’s Golden SYRUP 10 cases OYSTERS and LOBSTERS 5 cases SARDINES 1 caso FIGS, in drums 20 boxes Layer ItAISl>\S I frail Seedless RAISINS 5 bbls ALMONDS 1 case Cox’s GELATINE 5 boxes CITRON Just received and for sale low by apl-2 CHAS.
