Fond mem'ry, bring back the days,
When NIL was bright and clear;
When basking in youths sunny rays
knew not sorrows care.

No clouds arose to dim my sky
When was but boy!
The nlurm'ring rill that danc'd along
The fower.scentcd dell,
To my young heart then woke song
No language now CON tell.
The shady grove around my home,
SO lovely and so fair,
In artless glee / oft did roam,
Unknown to sorrows tear!
The garden, flushed with smiling flowers,
Rejecting crimson skies,
Vas pictured midst the golden hours
OF Adams Paradise!
Methought that there the God Of love
Had breathed his spirit round,
And hung the shining stars above
To light the holy ground.
O.! fond deception to my heart
The spell was sure divine!
The bloom thereof will ne'er depart
From mem'ry's sacred shrine
A cheerful, balmy, fragrant breeze
Played gently 'mong the flowers
Rose trembling midst the waving trees
:" And charmed the blissful hours.
The morning sky, all lovely, beamed
With hopes serenest light,
And smiled so sweetly that it seemed
Heaven rising on the sight. ...
And evenings mildcr calmer ray
? Lit up the glowing West,
As night scrcnely closed the day
To give the spirit rest.

Encireling pleasures howl
Like flowers wreathcd by minstrel lays
And twined around the soul.
While glory's tlnsel gleamed atar
From manhood's golden day,
As pride went forth from star to star
For Immortality
My father and my mother dear
So fondly nursed each pride,
Eeach rising hope dispelled the tear
That burst my fate betide.

A SAILOR IN CnURcH.-A celebrated
commodore in the American navy, having a
few hours to spend in port where he was
uuacquainted, concluded on attending re-
ligious meeting, and for this purpose taking
with him his favorte servant, he started off
for the church.
"Now mind" said he to Jack, as they we're
going 'in the meeting you say not word ;
no one is to speak there but the minister"
Jack, who had been accustomed to obey,
as well as see his master obeyed, right or
wrong, promised obedience, and they went
into church.
A seat. was provided for the commodore
near the preachers desk, and Jack, left a.
lone, after looking round the church for some
time was invited to take seat by the side
of the deacon.
The minister having the service, proceed
ed to give out hymn, and as there was scar
city of books, it fell to the deacon's lot to
repeat the lines for the singers.
No sooner had he rose, than Jack, twitch-
ing his coat, whispered in his ear
"You'd better be still had my orders
afore came in here, so you'd better be
still"
The deacon proceeded to read, and Jack
repeated his admonitiou, but all to no pur-
pose he had got out the two first lines, and
all the members of the meeting were en-
gagged in singing, when the poor tar reused
to desperation at seeing the commodore's
orders disobeyed, right in his own face and
eyes, turned to the deacon, and rolling up
his sleeves, he exclaimed
"You was the beginning of this ere row,
and shiver my timbers if you don't pay for
t?"
And he hammered away, first on one side
and then on the other, till the whole scene
became powerful illustration of the diff
culties of the church militant.

Great Loss of Life in Louisiana.

New ORLEANS, August IA terrible storm
occurred in this vicinity on Sunday, which lasted
all dav, as also on Monday. It's effects were most
disastrous at Last island, great summer resort,
and which our accounts represent to have been
entirely inundated. Every building on the island
is said TO have been swept away, and no less than
one hundred and thirtyseyen lives are reported to
have been lost
The steamer Star, Captain Smith, which left
here on the 9th, Saturday, with large number of
passengers, encountered the storm before reaching
Last Island, and became perfectly unmanageable,
and soon after became n perfect wreck.
Gallon Island has also been submerged, but the
accounts from thence are very meagre. 1t is re-
ported, however, that an immense amount OF pro-
pcrty, and many lives have been lost
Nearly all the wharves at the watering places
have been inundated, and the Duildidgs thereon
bath houses, ETC., etc.--swept away.
Altogether the less of property must be very
heavy, but 1t is impossible now to calculate the
amount.
Aug. l5--Accounts from Last Island verify the
sad story of yesterday. 1t is positively ascertained
that loS persons were lost.
1t is feared that Grand Caillou Island, another
watering place, shared the same fate.
The corn, cotton, and sugar crops are injured
intellectually.
The storm extended as far up the Mississippi as
heard fr m. At the government hospital, Baton
Rouge fourteen inches of rain fell between Sunday
evening and Tuesday evening.
+. s. The survivors of the Last Island disaster
reached the city this morning. They estimate the
loss of life at 2o0 1872 have already been counted.
Many Of the survivors are wounded, bruised, or
have broken limbs.
The dead bodies were plundered BY set Of pi-
rates, who nhabit the island.
There was nothing definite from Gallon Island,
but there was undoubtedly great loss OF life there.
1t was reported that thirty dead bodies had been
found on one end Of the island, and that the loss
of property there amounted to $5S,00o.
The loss on Last Island was 100000. It is sup
posed that $4,000 in money, in the pockets OF
the victims, fell into the hands of tee pirates, be-
sides 81, 900 in baggage.
The British schooner Manchester, from Belize,
Honduras, is ashore at South Point. She reports
large fire at Belize five days before her departure,
involving loss of half million dollars
The steamer Louisiana has arrived and reports
picking up, on the l4th, cabin door, which has
been recognised as belonging to the steamer Nau
titus of the Texas line.
