Little Katie.
BY EDWIN R. TowLI

By EDWIN R. TowLE.
Bless thee, littleSwinsome Katie,
With thy azure eyes,
And the rosy-tinted sunlight,
That thy pale cheek dyes:
IT'S a long road thou'st to travel,
With thy weary feet,
Ere that lone and erring father,
Shall thy presence greet
But holy purpose nerves thee,
And tireless zeal
Till that mothers fond forgivness,
Thou to HIM reveal!
Stranger eyes look plying, Katie,
On thy fragile form,
As they see thee bowling meekly,
To the worlds rough storm.
Haste thee, little wearied traveller,
For thou'rt almo st there
will that hayward erring father,
Listen to thy prayeri
Yes, those speaking eyes proclaim it.
With bright tear. drops laved--
"'Tis brand plucked from the burning
For, thank God, he's saved!"

BY and by, that leafy cloud in the west Of
our country world, will shed its rustliug show
er of red and golden rain and the group Of
the grove will lift its naked arms to wintry
heaven and the November winds will refuse
to be comforted, as they moan amid the woods
and we shall see the sun set beyond, through
the brown lattice of the branches.
But there will be a pleasant thought after
all.-Last summer-say in June-when the
shade was deepest, no stars were shining there
and hardly could the moonlight pass the thatch
of leaves, and let silver shaft through upon
the green sward.-Next winter, to him who
stands within that desolated wood, and looks
upward, heaven will appear, and the leaAes,
trees will seem to bear strange fruit Of stars
such as ripens not in the garden. of Hesperus
Stars will bud upon the branches stars will
cling to the naked arms; for he will lool
through winter up to heaven; and the grave
will be dessolate no more.

A Real Poem.

Among all the elegaic poems which poets
sing about the dead summer, we know of
none more beautiful in its sadness and hope
than this gem by B. F. TAYLOR, of the Chi.
cago Journal:
West of 3" us there is a grove; not
struggling thcket, but full rounded grove,
with an exquisitey defined outline oolun,e,
in fact, of numberless leaves. The sun sets
red and great and glorious behind that sum-
mer cloud and it is the most beautiful spot in
the whole horizon, for any h ng to bid the
world good bye" in.
The frost has been busy with those leaves
Of late, and has made he grove as gorgeous
as an evening cloud indecd-has made in
look as if the sun were forever setting there,
and never quite departed; as if it were re.
Numbering all the closes of day it ever knew
and blending them in one. The foliage o.
American woods enjoys the grandest dyingI
in the world a transit into glory such as
Christian men might pray for.

kGg@ The running time from Cincinnati
to New Orleans, by railroad, via Cairo and
Columbus, KY, is only 67 hours. From
Cincinnati TO Cairo-on the Ohio and Missis-
sippi to Sandoval, and by the Illinois Cen
trail Road from Sandoval to Cairo-occupied
Is hours from Cairo to Columbus, 20
miles by steamboat 2 hours; from Column
bus to Coffeeville in Tennessee, distance of
222 miles, the railroad is completed, and
the passage is made in twelve hours. From
CofeeyiIle TO Durand in Mississippi, dis
lance of 70 miles, the road is unfinished,
and the route is made in stages occupying
20 hours. From Durand to New Orleans,
the line of railroad is unbroken, and the
distance, 344 miles, is made in Is hours.
The whole distance from Cincinnati to New
Orleans by this circuitous route, is 1853
miles, and can be travelled in less than three
days. From Cairo to New Orleans the dis
lance is 686 miles, and when the road from
Coffeeville to Durand is completed, as it will
be within a year, the line from Cairo to
New Orleans will be reduced to about 80
hours. This line of railroad is connected
by intersecting lines with Memphis, Vicks-
burg, and Baton Rouge. When the branch
from Paducah is finished, the time from that
point to the Crescent City will not be
greater than Cairo. Our packets to Pad
ucah make the trip in about l5 hours OF
the average, so that we shall be, at the enc
of next year, within two days travel of New
Orleans. 1t is reported that the Postmaster
General is making arrangements to hav'
the mails from Mobile to New Orlean
brought over the roads to Columbus, Ky

asa. Heenan, the Benicia Boy, arrived in
Cincinnati ON Sunday morning. His ap-.
pearance, with his seconds who attended
him in his fight with Morrissey, created a
great excitement, and, for the greater por-
ton of the morning, the Burnet House,
where they put up, was the focus of attrac-
ton, not only to the gentlemen with pro-
civity for short hair, but to the masculine
portion of the community generally. '
Heenan, who is a magnificent looking
fellow, is full of confidence as to his future
milling career. He is to give sparring
exhibition before leaving the city. Morris
sey was also expected at Cincinnati. Hee-
nan is to light Paddock, the English Gham-
pion, for $4,000 a side. The pledges for
the stakes have already been given. ~

pSs-Some of the New York papers say

R1Some of the New York papers say
that it is quite common for ship-masters in
that port to hire colored boys to make trips
to Europe, but really to Southern ports, from
which the boys never return. One who had
been hired for e voyage to Liverpool, but
the destination of whose ship was Mobile,
was rescued the other day through the inter-
vention of the Mayor of New York. On
going ON board the vessel, the officer found
the entire crew to be made up of colored
boys, not one of whom was provided with
free papers, and all of whom supposed they
were going to Liverpool. 1t seems to bein-
timated in these statements that the design
is to kidnap the boys thus betrayed. That,
however, cannot be the motive for the act ;
for ship cannot carry slave, or pretend
ed slave, into any Southern port, without
producing the regular clearance papers, with
description of the person ofthe slave, from
the port of departure. All blacks not Sc
entered and reported at the Custom house
on arrival, are usually taken charge of by
the city authorities and held in custody till
the ship departs, or they are bailcd by the
Captain, and not allowed to leave the shif
while in port. 1t is this power of contro
over the black seamen in the Southern
ports, where white seamen, shipped at thu
Northern rates Of wages, desert the ships fol
the higher pay in Southern ports, which in
duces ship-masters to seek for black boys
In Southern ports black seamen are places
ON their arrival-in the calaboose, o
confined to the ship while in port. The SIN
is bound under heavy penalties TO take ava,
every negro she brings with her. There /:
therefore, no chance for kidnapping.
