THE FIRESIDE HINT.

1t is pleasant to sit with ones wife.
BY the light of a brilliant taper,
Whilst ones dear companion for life
Looks over the family paper
And now and then reads song or story,
Amarriage, or death, or tragedy CORY.
To feel THAT ones nothing to do
But to sit and philosophise gravely,
Each murderous deed to eschew-
Applaudin the editor bravely,
for his tact and his talent, bis taste and his
shears,
Now waking to laughter, now moving to tears
O.! happy the man who is blest
With wife who can tastefully read,
Who will give his newspaper no rest
Till its items have all gone to seed
Who exlaims now and then, as sha picks W
the paper,
MY dear, won't the printer want pay for his
paper?"

"lt's all Right, Captain"

As the fleet steamer R. was coming up the
Mississippi not long since, several way passen-
gers came on board at Vicksburg, and among
others, giant-looking, middle-aged Kentuck-
ian, who very soon became the subject of Gu
nosity, wonder, and general remark. After
travelling short distance, the party, except
our hero, made their way to the captain's Of
hce, and paid their fare to the place of desti-
nation. The next day, the clerk made bold
% call on the delinquent passenger who had
aken no berth, but had passed the greater
part Of the time in sleeping in his chair, and
nth his usual urbanity of manner, asked
The Kentuckian to give his place of destina-
hon, as it would help him in making up his
book, intending his question also as a gentle
hint for him to pay his fare.
The giant rose from his lethargy, and re-
piled:
am going up the river apiece. It's all
hight Mr.. Clerk"
The clerk not being much the wiser from
this answer, again politely asked,
"At what point do you intend to land, sir T
Don't land at no point, Mr.. Clerk It's
|al right, though.
Here the Clerk left our old hero aud went
TO consult the captain, who at once lost ms
Sonted good humor, as the clerk related the
result of bis interview with the delinquent Gus
toner. The captain proceeded forthwith 70
orng this matter to focus, and aceosted the
Aentuckian, SAYING:
How far are you going to bear us compa-
ny up the river, Uncle 7"
"0h ! Pm going apiece up with ye--but
Us all right, Captain"
But sir" said the captain, you have
Aslther paid your fare nor given the clerk your

GIRLH 0 OD.

A sweetness in the morning air,
A witching laughter in the woods,
A group of maidens everywhere,
With glowing cheeks and flowing hair,
And not sorrow or care
Within thier dainty hoods.
An agile feetness in their limbs,
A tint of morning on their brows,
Their postures full Of girlish whims.
No dappled fawn so nimbly skins
Along the silver lakelet brims,
Beneath tha dripping boughs!
They are ruthless romping rout,
Marauders of each nook and glen,
They disappear with song and shout
They beat the forests all about
And ferret timid flowers out,
Then come in glee again.
Such knot of flowers, and knots of girls
With beauty in their busy eyes
One plaits cluster with er curls,
Another in her fingers twirls
A nosegay rich with liquid pearls,
A tel-tale in disguise.
Oh! girlhood is guerdon fair
That still is left a recreant race;
There's witchery in its wayward air
Spnnkling the sunshine everywhere;
Alas that late years impair
It's simple, guileless grace!

pearance and horrible aspect as we think, o,
dessOiation which New Orleans now presents
and doubtless il we We're there should find
less Of gloom and horror visible, than we an.
ticipated, at least as general thing, Bet
then just think Of the absurdity Of the cool
aud apparently business-like and mathemati.
cal calculation made in the above article; the
writer would seem to know to unit all the
cases likely to have the disease, who are dead,
have it now, and those free from the conta.
gion. According to this seventy FIVE thou.
sand persons must have left the city since
about say the first of April which is OF itself
an absurdity, How much material there is
for it to work upon We take it no one can cal
culate, much less fix the period for the dread
fu scourge to abate and render ii safe for
visitors and business men from distance to
pass through or stop in the city.
That some ofthe city papers may have dis
canted upon the horrible, rather more than
was exactly necessary, is very probable; yet
ghastly corpses-swollen and protracting
from their boxes, and lying scattered about
over the surface of the burying ground be-
meath which they should have been placed
the reeling putridity arising therefrom-bru-
tai eartmcn hurrying through the streets with
their cargo of the dead and all as carelessly as
if engaged in ordinary business Splendid
barrooms almost deserted, and death visiting
even these. We say all these things which
beyond doubt have occurred and do yet occur
are enough to dispose the mind to the gloomy
and horrifying side ofthe picture-yet all this
may be dwelt on more than is necessary and
in a manner much more highly colored than
there is truth to support, but on the other
hand determined asseveration that the city
is lively as ever will not materially suffer in
refutation Cor health, and all this is both silly
and wicked, and to thinking men, the
truth is, and will be easily apparent.

Foreign Items.


The last foreign news report the Eastern
question as about to be settled, how, is not
stated but to any one who reflects that Rus
sia has been concentrating her forces months
past -has been collecting the first quality Of
horses in large numbers, and gradually APP
proching nearer the desired and much coveted
possessions; il will not appear at all probable
that the Emperor intends stopping short Of
his original purposes, whatever they may have
been.
From Smyrna reports are Of warlike
character and il would seem the United
States are about 10 be involved in difficulty
with Austria Costa, Hungarian refugee,
had visited the United States, where he claims
that he filed his intention TO become a citi-
zen thereof. Contrary to agreement be re-
turned to Turkey, and without waiting for the
Turkish authorities to take any part in the
matter. the commander Of an Austrian ship
had him seized and confined on board. Capt
Ingraham, Of the T. s. ship Of war, st. Louis,
upon hearing the facts instantly demanded
Costa Of the Austrian officer, giving them four
hours TO decide, and meanwhile laid his vessel
a cables length from the Austrian ship, and
both vessels cleared for action. The Consuls
Of the two nations, however, intefered, and
the matter was compromised by 40 agreement,
that Costa should be landed and placed in
the custody Of the Cnnsul Of France, until
further orders and facts shonld be received
The London Times referring TO the affair, says
trouble will most likely arise-that Austria
will demand Of President Pierce reparation
for Capt Ingraham's prompt and imperative
conduct and that moreover, should such a
demand be made most certainly 1t will not be
complied with. The imbeciity Of the Turk
ish government is plainly eyinced BY the con-
duet Of their Governor in quietly looking on
while such events were transpiring in his har-
Dor, and iD allowing a foreign vessel in the
first place to kidnap any one from Turkish
soil.
