MEMORY 3 HOPE

Tn the vista OF years forever past
The angel Memory stands
With the veil OF forgstfulness round her cast
And one secret thought demands;
But we take from her grasp the withered flowers
To sigh in the past with its sunlight hours.
The " might have been % OF former years,
That can return no more,
Call forth but vain, regretful tears,
And signs oft breathed before.
But we chide the tears, aud still the sighs,
And hope for brighter future nigh.
o, hope the sad and falling heart
Would sink in dark despair
II thou didst not thy aid mpart,
And teach US grief to bear.
Thou csnst gid the future with tinted flowers
AID a halo OF glory and brighter hours.

Rrnce Of mi.,nLnn

A capital story is told in Partisan circles, some
what 10 the discontinue Of a celebrated physician Of that
city. He had attended the only child Of rich parents and
had, with the aid of Providence, saved the infants life.
A day or two after her darling was pronounced out of
danger, the grateful mother visited the man OF science at
his office.
Doctor, said she, there are certain services which
mere money cannotremunerate Scarcely knowing how
to discharge my debt TO you, l have thought YOU might
be willing TO accept this pocket-bOOk, which / have my
self embroidered, as a triiiing token Of my gratitude
Madame, retOrted the disciple of Esculapius some
what rudely, " the practice Of medicine is not a matter of
sentiment. Time is money, and we expect our time to
petuate friendship, but they do not contribute to the cost
Of housekeeping
Well, then, doctor, replied the lady, much wour ded
by his tone and manner, 81 be good enough n name the
sum at which yen value your professional services"
Certainly, madame. My charge, in your instance, is
two thousand francs"
Without further remark, the lady opened the rejected
pocketbOok, which shs still held in her hand, took we
OF the five thousand franc notes slowed inside, pIlced
them on the great mans table, and quietly bid him good
morning. The doctor has not entirely recovered from
his disturbed equanimity.
This story was soon in circulation, and Of course it wa
not long before the idea was turned TO account, in a new
shape this time far more ludicrously to the disadyan
tage OF an eminent advocate than to that Of the first sui
terer. A lady had Just succeeded in gaining an impor
tant suit at law, and was indebted for her victory TO thl
eloquent plea OF her counsel. The medical anecdote "a,

LOOK " o INCENDIARIEs.-We under
stand that on Monday morning last, Mr.. Me
Donald, on entering his plumbing establishment
with Mr.. Waters, discovered that an attempt
had been made to fire the building. The win
dow shutter in the rear had been forced and a
fire kindled in one corner of the room on the
floor, several feet of which was burnt. It is
thought the dampness of the floor was all that
saved the premises.
The plumbing establishment is one door south
of the south east corner of Bull street and Bay
Lane, IN the basement of the building, the up
per portion of which is used as the offices and
store rooms of the Confederate navy.
This attempt, evidently designed for the de-
struction of the property of the government,
should induce the utmost vigilance on the part Of
our military and civil authorities. We hear OF
similar attempts in other cities of the Confeder-
acy.-Sauannah NetoS.

a bin for four hundred and cighty-three dollars,
payable On the 18Th Of last October, to Messrs.
Ottenheimer q Co, Of New York. Before the
bill fell due, the Confederate Congress adopted
the law prohibiting commercial relations be-
tween the North and the South, and consequent
ly no payment was RENTED by Rimalho & Hey-
rey to pay the bill, which was dishonored. But
Otenheimer & Co have learned that mem
Der of the firm of Rimalbo & Neyrey had come

that city, who sued the New Orleans merchants
before the Tribunal of Commerce. The Tribunal
decided that as Balm & Co. were not bona fde
holders Of the bin, inasmuch as they had given
no value for is, and as the drawers and acceptors
were foreigners, it bad no jurisdiction. The case
was therefore dismissed, aud the plaintiffs were
condemned to pay tho costs.

improper company, in the neighborhood of Beal street

panion arose and taking possession of his watch and
placed, stealthily left the room and disappeared The
gentleman, unconscious of what she had done, remained
some time expecting her return every minute. He at
length became suspicious, and left his bsd, bat on pro
eeeding to dress he discovered his loss. He saw that he
was victiInized, but what was to be done The room
wasa single one. without communication with others
living on the premises. To awaken any one in any other
part Of the place would only be to expose himself with
oat doing any good-if he awaited till daylight he would
be in no better condition. The only alternative was to
make the best OF his way home. He set out-the night
was rainy and the streets covered with mud, bat minus a
very important article Of dress, this respectable citizen
proceeded through alleys and out OF the way places to-
ward his home, where an amiable and unsuspeetng wi1e
awaited him. On his way he fell into the hands
Of the police, and was compelled to confess the
position in which be was placed BY them he was sup
pied with the article Of dress his wet and shivering
limbs so much needed, and he reached his home. The
next day the police arrested the woman. She refused to
restore either the money or the watch, which WAS a gold
one Of great value. and much desired as being the
git of a dear friend. When threatened with prosecution
shg turned upon the gentleman and defed him. You

STREET OBSTRUCTIONS.-Ihe city ordinances
prohibit the obstruction Of the streets and sidewalks by
the deposit Of boxes. barrels bales, or any articles Of
merchandise or other effects upon them, for = longer time
than is necessary to believer them and remove them into
the premises to which they belong. The washervoman,
the carpenter, or the lawyer would not be allowed to
place their tubs, worI-benehes, or desks on the sidewalk
and pursue their customary occupation there. Why
should the merchant have a privilege Others are denied q
At the present time. however, when sugar AID molasses
arrive by the acre, and the railroads are occupied a great
portion Of the time fer military purposes and cannot
convey them away as they arrive, it has become the
custom to allow the merchant this privilege but safely
the privilege ought to be used with as little inconvenience
to the public as possible. 1t is not 50 done Often barrels
and h~ogsheads are left struggling into the center Of the
footwalk, and that, too, during the night and on Sundays,
