Parting.
As some bright imape of the mind—
A child of pleasure left behind—
Appears in moments dark and sad,
And sweetly sings of joys we've had.
So earnest thou, when friends were few,
With perns of h-ipe our faith to strew;
Reviving roeui'ries of the just,
Once Irosh and gay—now fading fast.
Thus has it been, but we must part,
For other loves have Won thy heart;
And I must say that word, "good bye!
And see no more thy soft dark eye.

CM. Wheeler, onr Minister to Nicaragua, has
recently replied to the letter of Secretary Marcy,
disapproving of his conduct in recognising the
new government of Nicaragua.
Col. Wheeler insists that trim surrounding cir-cumstances,
and all civilized Usages, he was per-fidly
justifiable in the course he pursued.
lie further states that Walker's lorce now num-bers

and that his plan of uniting ill |ha

The United States Government, if reports be
true, is nor disinclined to acknowledge Walker as
President of Nicaragua, by the reception of some
new and duly accredited Minister, in the place of
