THE BLACK SUNDAY:
a Yekt0lc FcUer Reminiscence.
BY J. BOMBER, JR.

Remembrance wakes with all her busy train,
SwelIs at my breast, and turns the past to pain"
Who, among those that remained in Port
Gibson from the advent Of that terrible scourge
yellow Fever until its disappearance
will ever forget the feelings Of uttor despair
which reigned in his bosom. on the 18th Of
September, 1852 the black Sun8ay?-
The day was cold. A chilly rain, accompan-
led by boisterous winds, rendered it, TO the
watcher by the sick mans bed, truly dismal.
The pestilence had been raging in our midst
for long, dreary weeks; and, on this day,
even the stou.est hearts quailed at the horri-
bic contemplation Of what was yet to be =
Death bad reaped a rich harvest, even among
those few who fed not on the first approach
Of our terrible invader Mansions were closed
streets deserted, and scarce a living being
to be seen without doors,-much less one un-
employed. Dogs howled mOurnfully on the
street corners, in quest Of their masters; and
even the kitten, purring before the blazing
hearth. seemed conscious Of the fearful forel
bodings which haunted the breasts Of all -
Tho bell Of the sanctuary, too. ian event uns
known bcfore) on this dark Sunday was dumb
How sad the change a few short weeks had
wrought! Then. when danger seemed yet
afar off, all was hustle, life, gaiety, JOY =
now, black despair reigned in every bosom !;
and, as the wretched sufferer turned his dim
med eye to the easement, and caught the
dreary aspect Of nature,
slope sighed her last farewell"
to his soul, and he turned once moro to bis
feyered pillow. to shut out the sight which
brought naught but misery and woe.
Where is the familiar form of the strong
man. who. few short weeks ago. cheered our
hearts by mis- presence? Where is the ring
inc laugh Of the buOyant youth, whose we'll
knit form was our souls delight J Where
are the smiling faces of those childish ones
whose innocent prattle was sweet music 70
many an ear? Where. Oh where, is the
tried friend and true. BY whose bedside VIC
KENT tireIess vigiIs. and to whose parched lips

A Coop SToRY--In one Of tho sober towns
Of New Hampshire. where the Maine Law IN
strictly observed the keeper Of one OF tho
hotels has, for several months past, kept
bottle or two Of liquors in the bed where he
sleeps, taking care TO remove them every
night when he went to bed, and replace them
when ho got up in the morning. A few days
since. having replenished his bottles, and not
having good opportunity to carry them to
their old quarters. he slipped them under the
holsters Of one Of the beds reserved for travel
ers and being called out Of town to spend
the following night forgot to remove them.
1t unfortunately happened that yeang lady
traveller stopped at the hotel for the night,
and was conducted By an unsuspcctinr SER
want girl TO the room where the liquors had
been deposited.
As the evening grew late. the young lady
went to bed and was soon fast asleep, little
dreaming Of the mischievous spirits which
were woyking under her pillow. About mid
night, when all had become STILL the secreted
liquor, owing to the heat Of the weather, or
the warmth impaired TO it by the sleeper. ex.
panded to such degree as to defy longer
confinement. Pop pop went the corks Of
the bottle, almost simultaneously, making
noise almost as loud as the report Of a. many
pistols. and awakening the fair sleener. who
sprang from the bed. uttering such wild ter
rife screams, that every person ia the house
was Immediately aroused. The moon shone
bright enough for the lady to discover the red
liquor upon her night. dress, and with the con-
vietion that she had been shot, she tainted
and fell to the floor. A dosen servants i'm
medlately burst into the lady's room, and
we're horrifed at finding her lying upon the
floor weltering in bo0d
AL believed that some awful tragedy had
been enacted-that she had either committed
suicide or been crualY murdered A light,
however, convinced them that she still brea-
thed. No time was lost in sending for sur
geon, while the halfdressed inmates Of the
house commenced a search for the assassin or
the instrument which had been employed to
perpetrate the horrid deed On examining
the bed, it was found to be drenched with
what was supposed to be the blood Of the
young lady, but a strong smell Of brandy
caused one to investigate little further when
the two bottles-one partially filled with red
wine and the other with brandy-were dis
covered under the pillow. How the doctor
came-how the lady recovered, and how the
landlord tried to hush up the affair the next
day, can be better imagined than we can
describe.

TnE ARIsTocRAcY OF MONEY, AND THE
NOBILITY OF LEARNING -Tho following just
reflections occur in an address recently deliy-
cred by Hiram Ketohum. ESQ., on the occa-
sion Of the death Of Chief Justice Jones
Sir. there are now living in Europe. two
very eminent men in their line, both known to
the whole civilized world one is Baron Roths-
child. and the other is Baron Humboldt one
distinguished for the accumulation OF wealth,
the other for the accumulation Of knowledge.
What are the possessions Of the philosopher
Why. sir. heard a gentleman whom | have
seen here this afternoon, distinguished men,
ber of this community, say that. on recent
visit to Europe, he paid his respects to that
distinguished philosopher, and was admitted to
an audience. lie found him, at the age OF
eirhty-four years, fresh and vigorous, m a
small room, nicely sanded, with large deal
table uncovered in the midst Of that room,
containing his books aud writing apparatus.
Adjoining this was small bedroom, IL which
he slept. Here this eminent philosopher re'
ceived a visitor from the United States. lie
conversed with him; he spoke OF his works.
" NV works." said he, you will lind IN the
adjoining library. but am too poor to own
a copy Of them. Ihaye not the means TO buy
full copy Of my own works"
Now, sir, which Of these barons do you
think. even in this age Of gold, receives the
greatest amount Of the homage of the human
rae /! speak not of the the homage of in
telligent man, but Of the honor paid by the
masses. Let them both come here and pass
through our streets, and see to which Of them
the hat Of the multitude will be doffed with
the most cheerfulness and a.acriiy.

From poem called Time and the Ages il
The Shekinahv for October. by Fanny Green
'oem in ell respects remarkable.
Sleep, my childrenI Soft and fair
Beams the morn, and breathes the air,
Gentle rain and pearly dew,
Shed their freshness over you
Children Of the early morn,
Ye are gone-all gone.
One by one give you rest,
In our loving mothers's breast,
Where the chirping swallows play
And the singing waters stray,
And the light IS soft as dawn
Ye are gone-all gone.
Ye were lovely as the flowers
That awoke within your bowers,
Gentle as the beating focks
That We led among the rocks;
But my early hopes are shorn-
Ye are gone-all gone.
Children OF the sunny cline.
Earliest, fairest--born Of Time
| have hushed in sweetest sleep,
Eyes that scarcely learned to weep,
Hearts that might have been forlorn-
Ye are gone-all gone.
But your virtues could not lie,
They are set like stars, on high,
Beaming with purer light
mid the mysteries Of Night;
Through the portals Of the Morn,
Ye are gone-all gone.
