rounded with friends and basking in the sunshine Of
afauence, falls his VICTIM and the poor penniess
stranger shares like fate There goes the corpse Of
the millionaire followed by troops of mourning friends
and long train Of carriages. Immediately after il is
the unattended hearse OF the poor unknown" In
this house the sober industrious mechanic lies the
bed of DEATH and in that the voice Of the dissolute
disspated spendthrf echoes in the silent chamber as
he gives utterance TO the wandering and unconnected
imaginings of his eyered brain Business, may be
said, is suspended and the principal occupation Of
those who have far escaped the nsdious attacks of
the disease, is minstering to the SICK tending and
buryng the dead Instead of the buoyant and elastic
step that marked the motion Of our citizens as they
passed through the streets in the healthy business
son, they seem to have instinctvey and unanimously
adopted a melancholy kind of march, as if their foot
steps kept time with the mournful tones of muffled
drum. The cheek on which the smile of pleasure
then played is now coursed by the tear of friend
ship or affection.
Rarely does person pass who bears not the con-
ventonal insignia of sympathy about him, as well as
its internal traces That with the crapecovered
hat his eye still moisened by the spring of fraterna
Affection has just seen the tomb close forever over
the corpse of dearly beloved brother. He who fol-
lows after him, that has already reached the autumn
of life, but yesterday saw inurned the prop and hone
of his declining years. And those two men wearing
the Grape their arm, recounting the many mer.
its and manly virtues of deceased brother fireman or
fellowmember of some benevolent society. At night
all is STILL as st almost as If it indeed city Of
the dead. For, except those who noiselessy pass
along to visit the sick or intent the perform
ance Of some other work Of mercy, nothing is to be
heard but the rumbngs Of the doctors carriages as
they pass over the pavements the tap at intervals
of the watchmans baton on the curb-stone. New
Orleans is literally shrouded in the pail of mourning
and sorrow.-NeW Orleans Picayune
