Handsome Naples grill
With the distaff in your hand,
Whose silver flax threads curl
Like the white waves on the sand
In this narrow, dingy street,
On the dark and steep hill side,
In this hovel-can such sweet
And romantic beauty hide?
Spinning through the sunny day,
Underneath the old church-tower
The waves of Naples bay
Have not nursed a fairer flower.
You will ne'er that buy forget
Wheresoe'er you may be borne,
II sparkles in your eye of jet
Its pride is in your scorn.
Singing down the narrow street,
In the sultry silent hours
Unconscously your naked feet
Tread on shells and wither'd flowers:
Every day the picture fair,
For which distant poets sigh,
IL drawn upon the summer air,
Before your careless eye.
And you watch the sails that bask
In the sunshine, as they 60,
But your fancy will not ask
OF your futures veal and wo,
More than Of distant port
To which drift those fading sails,
Or if the voyage be long or short,
Or calm, or yexed with gales
Handsome Naples grill
In the dark street high and lone,
While the waves below you sweep and curl,
You shall be wooed and won.
In long tribes of fishermen,
Shall float on Naples bay
The blood that crinsons the brown cheek

Horrible Murder of a Little Girl in New
Orleans.

We copy the following from the New Orleans
Crescent of the 9th instant:
We heard yesterday the particulars of trag-
eiy which, it true throughout, exceeds anything
in the way OF human fendishness that we have
ever been called upon to record. The particulars
as narrated are these: "In the boarding house or
furnished-room establishment of Mrs. Brown at
tho corner Of Bourbon and Canal streets, and over
the confectionery OF that corner, was an old wo-
man named Shelton, far gone in consumption, and
deserted by her doctors. She was poor and In
debt for her lodgings. Mrs. Brown on Monday
informed her that she was unable to keep her any
longer in the house, and that she would have to
seek lodgings elsewhere. This seems TO have
greatly irritated the old woman, and TO have in
cited her 10 an act of most horrible revenge In
the evening she sent her nurse, young Irish girl,
for some camphene. When the girl returned with
it, she poured it in pool on the floor OF her room
Then hearing Mrs. Browns adopted daughter,
Mary, sweet little thing three and hllf years
old, playing in the hall outside she called TO her.
Mary, come In here, I've got cake to give YOU
Mary tripped in unsuspectingly, and then the old
woman, setting fire to the camphene on the floor
with a. candle, seized her and threw her into tho
blazing pool.
"The poor little innocent filed TIE house with
her shrieks, and when she all ablaze, her mur-
deress seized her and put her out into the entry
after which she staggered back TO her bed. The
witnesses of this diabocal act were the servant
girl--who fled afrightcd from the housc--and an
orphan boy named George, about ssyen years old,
who was In the entry outside. As soon MS Mary
all enveloped in fame, was thrown out by her
murderess, this little fellow, with admirable cour.
age, rolled her about the floor until the flames
were extinguished, and then went into the room
and put out the fire on the floor. IL was all the
work off moment and, being in the third story,
was over before any one could come 10 the rescue.
The little girl fingered IN cxcruciating pain until
three O'Clock on Tuesday afternoon, when death
came to her relief, and she was buried at 10
o'clock yesterday.
Mrs Brown, in her trouble, never thought il
was her duty to apprize the coroner Of the occur
renee. Mrs Shelton, Immediately after perpctra-
ting the dreadful deed was carried in a chair TO
another clearinghouse. Il Is not likely she will
ever be troubled by the law, as she is imbecile,
barely able TO walk, and will doubtless die before
trial could be had We have never heard of
more terrible result Of a sick wonan's phrenzy
than this"

Intercsting Narrative.

Professor Morse, the author of the magnetic tel
egraph, delivered speech at st. Johns recently,
IN which he gave an interesting reminiscence Of
his early telegraphic troubles. The bill for cstab
fishing line, he said, was before Congress, had
passed the House and was on the calendar Of the
Senate, but the evening Of the last day had com
menced with more than one hundred bills to be
considered and passed upon before mine could be
reached. Wearied with the anxiety Of suspense,
consulted with one of my Senatorial friends, he
thought the chance of reaching 1t so small that he
advised me to consider it as lost. In state must
leave you to imagine, returned to my lodgings To
make my preparations for returning home the next
day. My funds were reduced to the fraction of a
dollar. In the morning, as was about to sit down
to breakfast the servant announced that young
lady desired to see me in the parlor. It was the
dlughter of my excellent friend and college class-
mate, the Commissioner of Patents. She called,
she said by her fathers permission, and the exu-
berance Of her own joy, to announce to me the
passage ofthe telegraph bill at midnight, but the
moment before the Senate's adjournment
This was the turning point Of the telegraph in
vention in America. As an appropriate acknowl-
edgement for her sympathy and kindness, SYM
pathy which only woman can feel and express
promised that the first despatch by the first line Of
telegraph from Washington to Baltimore should be
indicted by her. To which she replied, ~ viii
hold you to your word" In about year from
that time the line was completed, and everything
being prepared apprized my young friend of the
fact. note from her enclosed this despatch
" What hath God wroughtgn These were the
first words that passed upon the electric wires, on
the first completed line in America. None could
have been chosen more in accordance with my own
feelings. Ii baptized the American Telegraph
with the name of its author 1t placed the crown
of success and honor where it belonged.
