1 am dying, Egypt, dying,
Ebbs tho crimson lifo-tido fust,
Ana tho dark riuloniati shadows
Gather on tho evening blast.
Lot thine arms, 0, Queen, support me,
1 lush thy nobs, and bow thine ear,
Hearken to tho great heart secrets,
Thou, and thou alone, must hear.
Though my scarred and veleiau legions .
Bear their eagles high no more,
A.ud uiy wrecked and scattered galleys
Strew dark Actiura's fatal shore;
Though no glittering guards surround me,
Prompt to d6 their master's will.
I myst. perish like a Roman,
Die the great Triumvir sti.l.
Let not Caesar's ser vile minious
Mock the lion thus laid low;
Twas no fooman's hand that slew him,
'Twos bis own that struck the blow.
Hoar, then, pillowed on thy bosotu,
Ere his star fades quite away,
Hira who, drunk with thy caresses?,
Madly flung a world away 1
Should the base and plebian rabble
Dare assail rny fame at Rome,
"Where the noble spouse, Octavia.
Weeps within her widowed homo;
Seek her, say the Gods liuvo told me,
Altars, augure, circling wings,
That her blood with mine commingled,
Yet shall mount tho throne of k ngs.
And for thee, star-eyed Egyptian!
Glorious Sorceress of tho Nilo,
Light the path to Stygian horrors
With tlic splendors of thy sniilo.
Give this Caesar crowns and a ehcs,
Let his brow the laurel twine;
I can scorn tho Senate,s triumphs,
Triumphing in love like thine.
I am dying, Egypt, dying;
Hark the insulting foe man's cry;
They aro comiug?quick, my lalcliionl
Let me front them ere I die.
Ah! no more amid the batilo
Shall my heart exulting swell,
Isis and Osiris guard thee,
Cleopatra 1 Koine !?farewell!

Those who remember their own answers .
when put to it after "hooking Jack" on Sunday,
will smile at the following artful dodging
of the Scotch apprentice :
j" wiiaui naui me text the day, '
Jack ?"
"I dinna ken?I war owre lang of gaun in."
"What war the conclusion 3"
"I dinna ken?I cam oot afore he war done." j
"W)iat did he say about the middle o't then?" !
"I dinna ken?I slep it a' the time."
Another "Babt-Waker."?Another splen
did gun, of the Brooke pattern, lias been sent,
to the Petersburg depot for shipment South.
Its destination is unknown, hilt it will doubtless
play a prominent part at one of the two
points which are attracting the enemy's attention
at present.
Belle Bovd.?The Washington ' Republican,
speaking of Miss Belle Boyd, now impris I
ioned in Washington, states that vhe still retains
all her vivacity aiid"sin<jfs relnd songs incessantly.''
The same paper says that all sto- ;
ries affecting her reputation, either as a woman,
or questioning her fidelity to the South, arc j

"Through the Blockade."?The "Wilmington
Journal says : "From what we have seen
of tho arrivals at a Confederate port, said to be
on Government account, we must be permitted
to doubt many of the stories we read of the
slarming defect of shoes, blankets, clothes, etc.
in our army."
What three words did Adam use when lie
introduced himself to Eve, and which read the i
same back and forward ?
"Madam, I'm Adam."
And Eve's polite answer is said to have been:
"I trust the timo will never be,
"When I'll not caro A-dam for tliee,"
Women's Weakness.?There are four
things a woman can't do: Pass a milliners
shop without pricing the bonnets; dislike a
man for calling her pretty; pa?s by a looking
glars without looking in it ; or pass a pretty
baby without kissing it.
Speaking of "North and South,'' the London
Fun says, the South is blockaded and the
North blockhcadcd.

FREE MARKET OF CHARLESTON.
To the Citisens of Charleston and the People of South
Carolina gene/ally, and to the Fanners and Planters
especially, J'rvni the mountains to the seaboard
The Free Market of Charleston, one of'the noblest ,
and most useful charities extant, after more than a
twelve mouth of successful operation, is in danger of
suspension and even linal stoppage. It is an institution.
founded by private patiiotism and benevolence,
endorsed by the city authorities of Charleston, and
recognized and encouraged by the Legislature of the
State. Its great and higli'y useful purposes is to supply
provisions, free of expense, to the needy familias of
soldiers and seamen, lighting the battles ol their country,
or dead in her service; and upward of eight hundred
families depenu on its bounty lor their daily bread.
It has become n great public necessiiv. and it is tho
duty of every christian ami patriot, male and female,
rich and poor, young and old, to contribute to its support,
in proportion to means and ability?the rich man
out of h;s wealth, the poor man out of his poverty,
the widow with her mite?every large stream should
pour, ever}* little rill trickle its refreshing waters into
this great reservoir of patriotic benevolence, to ho
dnpensed in God-blessed bounty to the wives ai d
children, the widow* and orphans, the sisters and other
female dependents, of our brave soldiery and senmen.
The tinal stoppage, or even the suspension, of
this charity would be one of the direst calamities that
could befall our City and State?it would inflict dis
tress, eulVering, and even starvation on numbers now
comfortably fed by its bounty, and perhaps, lead to
bread-'iots, in our conservative city, to her serious injury
and deep disgrace. Come, then, fellow citizens,
to the rescue, promptly, liberally, efficiently, and not
only save the Free Market from destruction or suspension,
but sustain it. in healthful vigor, as a God blessed
and man-blessing institution. Let donations in
money and in kind pour in lavishly from every quarter
of the City and State; and the consequences will
he happy indeed. Not only will bread, and meal, and
meat bo sustainingly furnished to soldier's and seamen's
families, but the heart of tho wm-rirw *?-;u i.? 1
sheered nn<l his arm nerved to victorious battle against
the vandal and ruthless Top, by the comforting conviction
that his wife and little ones are patriotically and
sufficiently cared for, by their fellow citizens, at home.
Let our farmers and planters especially, in every section
of the State, send liberal supplies of vegetables
and provisions, from their gardens, their fields, their
barns and their smoke houses; and swell to overflowing
the great reservoir of Free Market charity.
Cfiarity is twice blessed?it blesseth him that gives*
ts well as him that receives?and blesses the giver
sven more than the receiver.
Come up, then, one and all, to the hallowed work,
md not only earn the soldier's and seamen's undying
;ratitude, but lay up treasure in Heaven, where nei,her
moth nor rust doth corrupt, nor thieves break in
?nd steal.
