Sing no more to-day ; The sgddest maiden under the sun I must t,>e, -till this weary war is done ; For my lover has gone away. Ah your voice could never drop as it does Down through those slender bars ; If you had ever loved a soldier lad, He was the only friend you had. And was gone away to the wars, You are quiet now! too quiet, my bird, To suit my restless mood ; 'Tis fearful to feel the house so still, Sing out again till you sing your fill: 1 shall die with solitude! Yet low! sing low, while lie is gone To fight for the Snipes and Stars ; I would not hear your voice ring out 'Till it blends itself with the nation's shout When my lover comes from the wars. You must sing for us both in that blessed day When I welcome my soldier boy; For my eyes will be dim with the happy tear And my heart will come to my lip so near, That I cannot speak for joy! THE BABY. Another little wave, Upon the sea of life ; Another soul to save, Amid its toil and strife. Two more little feet, To walk the dusty road ; To choose where two paths meet, The narrow and the broad. Two more little hands. To work for good or ill ; Two more little eyes, Another little will. Another heart to love, Receiving love again ; And »o the baby came, A thing of joy and pain. to The Great Prize-Fight. The London lime* says the late prize-fight was a fair stand u,p one, and ended in a deci sive victory for King. Heenan was badly punished : he had the advantage in the first rounds, but King had the most endurance. Portland, Dec. 23.—The following is ad ditional by the steamer "Jura": The choice of ground was won by Heenan. At exactly 10 o'clock on the morning of the 10th, the men were delivered at the scratch. 1st Round—Heenan closed in, grasping King by the neck and giving him an old fashioned hug, until the referee entered the ring and strictly cautioned him not to repeat the operation. 2d Round—King forced the fighting as soon as he came to the scratch, and Heenan closed in again. After hugging King some time he threw him. In this roundKi ng drew the first blood. 3d Round—After hard exchanges Heenan again hugged King, and threw him on the ropes wilh awful violence. All was now going against King, /i'he only thing in his favor was the first blood. 4th Round—King came up with visible marks under his left eye. Heenan again at tempted the hugging game, which elicited loud remarks of disapprobation. 5lb Round—King got in a tremendous blow on Heenan's ear and another on his temple, when the latter again hugged and threw King violently. 6th Round—Both pegged away at each other. This round ended by Heenan giving King another hug. 7th Round—Ring gave Heenan a rattler on the nose, drawing a stream of blood. 8th Round—Heenan was thrown. 9th Round—King struck Heenan a tre mendous blow on the head; Heenan closed in him and threw him. 10th Round—King launched out heavily with both fists; closed in and was thrown by Heenan. 11th Round—Heenan began to tire at the close, hut rushed in and threw King heavily. The 12th, 13th, and 14th rounds had the same result. In the 16th round some swing ing blows were given on both sides, when Heenan knocked King clear into the corner. This was the nicest knock-down of the fight. J.6ch Round—Heenan came to the scratch with a dreadful eye, and a severe struggle took place, neither side .gaining any advan tage, and the excitement had become so great that the ring regulations were disregarded. King's blows swelled Heenan'a right eve and temples to a fearful extent. He bore it man fully. From this to the 24th and last round, King went ahead at a perfect gallop, and when the time was called for the 25th round, the sponge was thrown up by the seconds of Heenan. Heenan was dreadfully punished, and should never been permitted to pass the 21st round. King presented no visible marks of punishment, except a mouse on the left eye.
