(Harmless passion,) when Dame fashion Brings to view Iter latest treasures 1 Silks and laces I how her face is Iladient as the sunlight dawning ; Eyes are glancing, curls are dancing, And her brow is like the morning? Daily shopping money dropping Fast from white and dainty fingers, Wants explicit tate exquhute; How the happy phopper lingers ! Ah ! 'tis cruel, when a jewel Might light up sweet home affection, Thus to splutter, scold and flutter, When wife hints in that direction ! Woman tender, who can render Too much joy to match her boauty I How can dresses or caresses Half repay her love and duty ! c Then, Dame Fashion, put the lash on, . Urge your steeds of daring mettle : Lovely woman, sweet and human, Must have dress, and wc must settle ! "Let Jeemes Go." The Land We Love, gives a model letter from a young lady, whose sweetheart was in the 5th South Carolina regiment, to Mr. Davis, President of the late confederacy, asking for a furlough for her lover to come home and get married. "Pjcar Mr. president I want you to let Jeemes Glancy, of Company 1th, Fifth South Carolina regiment, come home and get married. Jeemes is wil ling I is willin' my mammy is willien,' his mammy sajs she is willin1' but J ecmes' Captain, he ain't willin." Now when we're all willin' ceptin' Jecms Captain, I I think you might let up and let Jeemes come. I'll make him go straight back when he's done got married, and fight as hard as ever. Your affectionate friend," etc. Mr. Davis wrote on the letter, "Let Jeemes go," and Jeemes came home, mar ried the affectionate correspondent of Mr. Davis, and returned to his regiment, and did fight as well as ever. A Connecticut editor fell on an icy1 sidewalk last week. He did not use "un parliamentary language," as some would have done, but bit his lips, rubbed down the bruises, and while a benevolent smile radiated his countenance, remarked : "We don't cherish any ill will ; but for light and entertaining reading matter, re commend to us the obituary of the man who owns this sidewalk."

ASSASSINTION OF MR. LI0NC0LN. The Complicity of John Surratt. CONFESSION OF SAMUEL B. ARNOLD, MADE APRIL 18, 18G5. To Whom it May Concern : Know ye that I Samuel B. Arnold, about the latter part of August or first part of September, 18G4, was sent for by J. ukes Booth, who was a cuest at Bar- num's Hotel, in the city of Baltimore, Md., to call to see him. I had not seen the same J. Wilkes Booth since 1852, when we both were schoolmates at St. Timothy's Hall, President L.

During smoking, he having heard previously of my politi cal feeliDs, or teutiments, he spoke iu J I elowinir terms of the confederacv and the number of surplus prisoners icrs in the hands of the Uuited States. Then eusued the loDacco, to be on the other side oi tne proposition by J.Wilkes Booth, and bridge. I was opposed to the whole pro which he (J.

We drove always (but once) in the city and Georgetown ; the once excepted across the Eastern Branch Bridge, when we went upward of five miles, I suppose, aud returned. Thn was the only time I ever went over the bridge. How often J. Wilkes Booth crossed I canuot state, but, from hi3 own words, often. Thus was Michael O' Laughlin's and my time spent for the most part down at ltullman's Hotel (now Sinclair House), on Pennsylvania avenue and Louisiana avenue, in drink ing aud amusements, with other Balti moreans besides ourselves congregating there, all of whom knew nothing of our business but that of selling oil stock. Oil stock was the blind . for them as well as my family. During the latter part of March, whilst standing on llullmau's porch, between eleven andjwelve o'clock, p. m., a young man name unknown, as I cannot remember names about five feet five or 6ix inches high, thick, set long nose, sharp chin, wide cheeks, small ejes (grej, I tbiqk,) dark hair, and well dressed color I don't remember called Michael O'Laughlin aside, and said J.

The commissioner of internal revenue has decided that building associations loaning money on real estate are liable to a special tax as bankers, as per section 79, paragraph 1, of Juno 30th, 1804, which says : "Every person, firm, or company having a place of business where money is loaned or advanced upon bonds, stocks, bullion, bills cf exchange, or promissory notes, is regarded as a banker." This comprehends the loaning of money on real estate. As bankers, building as sociations should also make a return each month of the amoui.t of capital used, for the tax , of one half of one quarter per cent,, as approved in sectiou 119, act of June 30th, 18G8.
