When am old-and, q how soon
Will life's sweet morning yield to noon,
And moons broad, fervid, earnest light
Be shaded in the solemn night
Till like story well nigh told
Will seem my life when am old.
When am old, this breezy earth
VIII lose for me its voice of mirth--
The streams will have an under-toue
OF sadness not by right their own,
And Springs sweet power in vain unfold
In rosy charms-when am old.
When am old, shall not care
To deck with flowers my faded hair;
Twill be no vain desire of mine
In rich and costly dress to shine;
Bright jewels and the brightest gold
Will charm me not-when / am old.
When / am old, my friends will be
Old, and infrm, and bowed, like me;
Or else, their bodies meath the sod,
Their spirits dwelling safe with God;
The old church bell win long have tolled
Above the rest-when am old.
When am old, I'd rather bend
Thus sadly Ger each buried friend,
Than see them lose the earnest truth
That marks the friendship of our youth;
Twill be so sad to have them cold
Or strange to me-when am old
When am old-0 how it seems
Like the wild lunacy of dreams
To picture in prophetic rhyme
That dim, far distant, shadowy time;
So distant that it seems DER bold
Even to say" When l am old!"
When am old-perhaps ere then
shall be missed from haunts of men;
Perhaps my dwelling will be found
Beneath the green and quiet mound;
My name by strangers hands enrolled
Among the dead-ere am old.
Ere am old-that time is now,
For youth sits lightly on my brow;
My limbs are firm, and strong, and free;
Life has thousand charms for me
Charms that will long their influence hold
Within their heart-ere am old
Ere am old-O let me give
My life to learning how to livel
Then shall meet with willing heart
An early summons to depart,
Or find my heightened days consoled
By Gods sweet peace-when l am old.

to the Bossier Times, in an article upon
the origin of the human traces, white

startling and novel theory:
After the formation Of the lower. Or

lower orders Of animals were produced
The germ Of a microscopic insect waa,

VACCINArroN.-The Journal of Health
says that from extended and close OBJ
servatlon the following close deductions
seem to be warranted >s*
First, infantile vaccination is an al,
most perfect safeguard until the four
teenth year Second, at the beginning
of fourteen the system gradually loses it's
capability of resistance uutil about 2l,
when many persons become almost as
liable to small pox as if they had not
been vaccinated. Third, this liability
remains in full force until about forty
two, when the susceptibility begins to
decline, and continues for seven years
to grow less and less, becoming ex-
tinct at about ffty--the period Of life
when the general revolution of the sys-
TEN begins to take place, during which
it yields to decay, or takes new lease
of life for two or three terms of seven
years each. Fourth, the grand practi-
cal use to be made of these statements
is: Let every youth be re-vaccinated
On entering fourteen let several at
tempts be made SO as to be certain of
safety. As the malady is more likely to
prevail in cities during the winter, spe-
cial attention is invited to the subject at
this time ..s.y ..ss.... fz.-Ss .ss

late information from Cuba, which is
now the great market for the unfortu-

successive cargoes, shows an amount

truly appalling Of all the nefarious

zens OF the nations from which we hear
the loudest cries in behalf of humanity
and freedom. We are told of these
wretched beings dying on the prolong-
ed passage from Asia to the Atlantic
coast, of hunger, thirst and the foulest
diseases engendered by the closest con-
hnement, without air or proper nutr-
ment, in the holds of ships We are
told OF these unfortunates numbering one

and although the thing is plain and pal

questioned and undenied, the civilized

A DESTRUCTIVE W AR ENGISE.-We men,
toned some time since that two of orr
ingenious citizens, Messrs. Wright and
tGould, had completed the model of d ro-
tary cannon which could be fired at the
rate of sixty rounds per minute. Since
the announcement the inventors have
been engaged in having constructed a
working model of the gun which is now
! finished, and was tested yesterday after
noon in vacant building on Washing
ton street, The piece is a beautiful lit
tie. brass gun of the usual shape, mount
Jed on wheels, and so constructed that a
rotary cylinder constitutes the breeeh,
which contains four charges, replenished
by means ola hopper, and fired as rapidly
as man can work an ordinary lever
backward and forward. The piece is
discharged by electricity. and from this
results an important. and valuable dis
covery, which was developed after the
completion of the piece By means of
the battery or wires connecting with
the cylinder by which ignition is caused
the cylinder becomes perfectly electrified,
which keeps it as cool as if continually
bathed with ice Some two hundred
rounds were fired yesterday in rapid
succession at the rate Of about thirty
'ounds per minute, at the end of which
line, without using the swab once,
he breech was much colder than when
he firing commenced. The rapidity of
he firing was much retarded by the bad
quality of the cartridge in use, but such
IS it was it was sufficient to demon
trate the complete success of the in
'ention. We understand that as soon
IS all arrangements are completed the in
'entors will proceed to Washington and
ay their plans before the government. ;
