The Poor Mans Grave.

No sable pail. no waving plume,
No thousand torch-Iehts 10 lume;
No pairing glance, no heavy leaf,
Is seen TO fall upon the bier.
There is no, one Of kindred clay,
To watch the coffin on its way;
No mortal form, no human breast,
Cares where The pauper's dust may rest.
But one deep mourner follows there.
Whose grief ou,ives the funeral prayer ;
He does yot sigh, he does not weep,
But will not leave the sodless heap.
IT'S he who was the poor mans mate;
And made him more content with fate;
The mongrel dog that sha.'d his trust,
Is all that stands beside his dust.
He bends his listing head as though
lie thought 10 hear a voice below
He pines 10 miss voice SO kind,
And wonders why he's left behind.
The sun goes down.. the nigh, is come
He needs, 80. -e-.L-He- SEEKS uu nome;
Bu, s,relchd upon the droamless bed,
With dole(ul howl calls back the dead.
The passing gaze may coldly dwell
On all that pplisIl'I marbles tell;
For temples. built on church-yard earth.
Are claimed by riches more than worth.
But who woull mark with undimm'd eyes,
The mournful dog that sIarves aud dies !!
Who would not ak, who would not crave,
Such Love and Faith to guard his grave.

UNITED STATES CIRCUIT CoURT.-This Court
was occupied Saturday and yesterday in the ex-
animation of a rule taken in the suit of the heirs
of Deslondes Us. the Second Municipality ct al to
set aside judgment by defendant, confirmed and
signed in the case. The grounds Of the rule are
various, but principally that the judgment was OBJ
tanned by the fraudulent and dishonest practices
and representations of Mr. ST. Paul, the counsel for
the plaintiffs, and is accompanied with motion to
strike him from the roll of lawyers. Much evidence
of contradictory nature was taken, and some sharp
shooting took place between the counsel, who are
more or less personally implicated; but we do not
think the matter of sufficient public Importance to
report either the evidence or the speeches. The
court has taken the rule under consideration, and
will decide upon it in few days. The case de-
rives its interest, apart from the scandal concern
ing the attorneys from the fact that the batture in
front of the Second Municipality is involved in the
final judgment. The heirs of Deslondes, however,
have not yet got the bature, nor are they likely to
get il soon.

The CORPUS CHRISTI STAR.-This excellent
paper will hereafter be conducted by Messrs. Bar

Under the charge of Mr. Peoples, the Star was
journal of much ability, and usefulness, and with
its managers, we feel confident will not be de-
ficient in these qualities Both Mr. Callahan and
Mr.. Barnard were concerned in the publication of
papers in Mexico during the war, where they ac-
quired much experience, which must be of use in
their present locality, where there so much inter-
course with Mexico and the Mexicans. PersOs
interested in the Texan and Mexican trade, would
find the Star an excellent medium for advertising.

SHREVEPORT RAcEs-On referring to our adj
vertising columns, it will be seen that race meet
ing will be held at Shreveport, commencing on the
LIST of May. From the number of purses advertised,
we doubt not but that it will succeed, the parties
who have taken the matter in hand are determined
to spare no pains or expense in offering every at
traction in the way of sport to those who may at
tend. The course, which is within two miles of
the town, is progressing rapidly, and will be in fine
running order on that day. 1t is composed of a
light sandy SOIL and, from its central location, bids
fair to rival any in the South. Shreveport, in the
short space of two years, has become place of
great Importance, second only, as mercantile
town, to New Orleans, and the citizens have
already evinced their appreciation of Mr. Tysonss
exertions by the handsome manner in which they
have come forward and subscribed toward the
forthcoming meeting. Upwards Of fifty members
have already enrolled their names, and we have
no doubt, Notwithstanding it being the first time
races have been attempted in Shreveport they will
soon rank among the first meetings in the South.
Money and management can accomplish any thing,
and there is no lack of either. There are already
five stables in the neghborhood in active training,
and we fully expect to larger number of start
ers for each race than usually comes to the post.

Upper Mississippi River falling slowly. That

and Beardstown the water is within two feet of
the height attained during the great flood of 1874.
In the town of Naples the water is some two or
