MORTALITY AMONG PRINTERS IN NEW Or
LEANS Death has been very busy among the
printers of New Orleans Five of those conrec-
ted with the Pcayune alone have been carried off
~lnce November last. In an editorial on the sub
ject that paper says:
But the noble sentiment of charity and brotherly
feeling that ever characterizes the printers, in
whatever part of the world they may be found, in
some degree compensates for those losses and al
though there is rule that calls for such action

kindness and benevolence of the friends aud asso-
ciates of the loved and lost.

NAPOLEON AND HIS PoLiCY.---From a recent

passage on the policy of the Emperor Napoleon
towards Italy:

Italy My observation of public opinion is SINCE
however, of encouragement for Italy Many
man who month ago was profoundly disappoint-
ed is now satisfied of a new and wonderful in
stance of the Emperor's forecast, which could, as
it were, completely eutwit the hopes of his young
Austrian compeer: He appears to have foresee9 7
that what the treaty secured for Lombardy would
work out vast deal more for the neighboring
States, and without the frightfu price of another
Solferino. Perhaps I hope too much in reason; !;
but the hope is growing over the Continent that
all that the Emperor promised, and which he
stopped suddenly short in carrying out with his
army, is about to be surely effected through the
force of circumstances created by himself and
which he knew at Viafranca might thenceforward
be left to themselves.

Where slumber the glorious monarchs of old
And Time for long ages his dim court has holden,
And the mysterious Sphinx in oblivion is cold
I come from the bright flaming blow of Vesuyius!
And from the bright vineyards Of Italy pluvious,
Where grapes red and parple in beauty do grow!
come from the Alps, where the glaciers stupendous
And avalanch tumble when wild tempests rave;
And torrents surging their waters tremendous,
Aud wild chamois fly from the hunter so brave!
come from the valles of France bright and glowing
Where the lime and the orange and citron delight
From Venice afar where Gondoliers rowing
Sing soft serenades to the maiden at night.
come from old Palestine, hallowed for ages,
Where Jesus of Nazareth erst did appear,
Whose blest deeds read in the Bibles blest pages
And of his disciples to memory dear.
come from the halls of the palaces royal
Where jewels cleaning grandeur's proud

Where industry blooms and the graces are warm.

Why do lingering beauties waken
Hopes of coming nobler prime
Wherefore weeps the heart mistaken
By some transient Joys of time
IT'S because the flower, tho pleasing,
Blooms as free tor other eyes -
Dewy tears will mark decreasing
Hope-rays in the hearts Spring skies.
Syren voices seem to call me
From ambitions hallowed goal.
Telling doubts that oft appal me
Of joy beyond my grasp-control.
Tho rude fears of deeper anguish
Darkly whisper, "Peace-be STILL"
One fond heart in pain would languish
Were sweet hopes forever chilled.
Then will the loving, gentle Mary
Pardon hope, though vain its flow,
In my heart where love shall tarry
At thy shrine and ever glow.
