. THE TEMPLE OF BEAUTY.

by PETER FISHER REED.
have found out the Temple of Beauty
Ihavc seen where fair Innocence dwells--
Where Virtue holds sentinePs duty
Ger the passions enclosed in her cells;
And nought can compare with that palace
Where beautiful Innocence dwells.
l have found out this truth by token
A token that beams from thine eye,
When the love of thy bosom has woken
The thoughts that come forth in sigh
That with that soft language can vie.
My Kate is the Temple of beauty;
Its idol her virtue divine;
And I'll sacrifice love, rs duty,
At the shrine of this love one of mine,
'Tis the sweetest of all my life's pleasures
To bow at so holy shrine.
She's as fair as the flowers that bolssom
In the reign of the rosy Nay queen;
That bloom on the beautiful bosom
Of the May in her mantle of green;
That embroider, with roscate gems,
Her vesture of velveted green.
And this is the reason that flowers
Do filter their fragrance through air,
From the depths of the dew bedecked bowers;
IT'S to perfume the bright and the fair,
To cheer up the honeymoon hours
OF those that are happy and fair.
Like the language the flowers have spoken,
Is the voice OF my loved one to me;
And remembrance remains as token
OF bliss that forever shall be;
And the love-tie shall never be bI oxen
That binds my beloved to me.
Though the summer may suddenly vanish,
Aid the flowers may wither and die.
Ali sorrow and sadness I'll Danish,
And bask in the smile of her eye,
For life's wearisome walks she Will brighten
With the life and the light fher eye.

FIRST DIsTRICT coUKT-THE LATE III
Ell AND DEATH OF Mn. FRosT. We copy
the following from the Evening Picayune OF
yesterday:
On the opening of the First District
Court this morning, visible depression
seemed to weigh upon the minds OF al.
present, as If great public calamity had
occurred, and men talked to one another, in
subdued voices, Of the fatal duel of yester-
day, as OF an event deeply to be depl1red.
W hen the grand jury were assembled,
Judge Larue addressed them as follows:
Gentlemen Of the Grand Jury-It is
wi-e provision Of our Ia that none are so
humble that it does not recognizs their
rights, and none too elevated to be ex mpt
from its operation. When the law has
been vio lated, ills my duiy Judge, and
yours as jurors, 10 inquire into ;hat violation.
We cannot shut our ears to what we hear
on every corner and IN every street. We
cannot shut our eyes TO what we see spread
before US in the daily papers.
Gentlemen, high ime hae been com.
mtted in the Parish of Orleans, and how
ever respectable the gentlemen may be who
were engaged in it, however high their po
sition in society, however eminent their
personal reputation, however much we may
sympathize with them in their political
feelings, it is our duty to investigate the
mattey and will not shrink from it. 1t is
we'll known, from general report and from
the public press, that a fatal duel took place
Yesterday, and we all know the names of
the parties engaged in it. 1t is your duty
to inquire into the case; 10 send for witness
es; and il you find that CRIME has been
committed to bring in bill accordingly.
Let me read the law TO you, which is this:
"Ifany person shall voluntarily engage in
duel, with rapier or small sword, back
sword, pistol, or other dangerous weapon, to
the hazard of life, and death shall ensue,
the survivor shall, upon conviction, suffer
death; and all and every person aiding and
abelting as second, agent or abettor,. shall
be punished as accessories before the fact in
murder.
"If any person shall voluntsrily engage IN
duel with rapier or small sword, back
sword, pistol, or other dangerous weaPon;
TO the hazard OF life, when no homicide shall
ensue thereon; and ifany person shall, by
word, message, or any other manner,
challenge another 20 fight duel as afore-
said, when no duel shall be fought thereon;
every such offender; and every person who
shall knowingly be seconds agent or abet-
tor in such duel or challenge, upln due
conviction of either Of said offences, shall
be punish d, felonious assaultet, for
fne not exceeding two hundred dollar. and
not exceeding two years: ssg
had hopdd, gentlemen, that the bafbar-
Gus practice of dueling had been ef1ectnally
extcrminaied by the wise provisions Of our
new constitution. II seems however that il
lis not the case. Gentlemen who hold
high position among rs, who can give
tone 10 society and affect the opinions OF
others, have violated the law In this respect.
FL you punish James Blown or John Smith
