Dost thou remember, years ago, 1r-
My arm was round thy form,
The fire was burning on the hearth,
And outside beat the storm,
Thy mother smiled upon us then,
Warm, though twas wintry weather,
And wished that you and l might 90
Thus, on through life, together
That mother is in Heaven now,
And !, an exile, driven
Away from thee-oh think YOU not
She sees US stin from Heaven.
She hoped Tat, though the storm might beat,
Our hears had homed each other;
The nre ley. our souls would warm
In this world, and another.

John MCDONOGH

This venerable miser is not permitted to
sleep quietly in his grave. The N. Orleans
Delta continues to pour hot shot into him.
1t censures in strong terms the attempt of
The commissioners of the McDonogh estate
to execute the provisions of the will of this
eccentric old millionaire, who, itsays, sought
to perpetuate, when he was dead, those evils.
which, during his life, he inflicted upon New
Orleans-the evils flowing from the accu-
mutation of large estate in one person,
and the non improv of a large area OF
property within the corporate limits OF New
Orleans. Before cent" says the Delta
"of the rents of his estate can be apprOprl'
ated to any of the charitable objects, con-
templated in his will, the sum OF such rents
must reach nearly fabulous amount. Thus,
it is provided that enc eighth, or - 1-2 per
cent. of The net yearly revenue of the rents
Of the whole estate shall be set aside for the
establishment of an asylum for the poor of
but this one-eighth is to be reinvested again
until the whole amount shall reach the sum
of 5000 900, when third of the principal
and interest shall then be appropriated to the
asylum. In like manner he disposes of the
remainder of his estate to the Colonization
Society, to the Society of Orphan Boys of
Lafayette; the total amount of $780, 900, re-
ceivable in like manner, to a school farm at
Baltimore, one eighth of said revenue until
such amount shall reach three millions, and
SO on to all eternity. Thus, before cent
can be expended on any of these charities,
the net revenue of John McDonogh's estate
must reach several millions. Will any one
skilled in arithmetic undertake to solve for
us this problem Starting with an estate
mostly of vacant property, valued at three
or four millions. and producing now an in
come of $4,000 per annum,-in what time
will one-eighth of the net revenue of said
estate, supposing it to be all leased out and
built upon, amount to 100000 Will not
the general estate of John McDonogh have
absorbed more than half the property of the
State before it can produce such an amount
The Delta calls upon the city to intervene
and prevent the great public evil which is
sought to be inflicted on the community,
