/" We cannot forbear 10 suggest nov, since
large masses of the enemy are relieved from tho
siege of Nicksburg and Port Hudson, and thus
left free to move whittier they please, perhaps
to concentrate around and lay siege TO this city,
that the Government gather in its resources, lay
up abundant supplies whilst it is yet time and
the means and opportunity ample, and thus
avoid for the capital OF the Conledeiacy the
doom of vicksburg and Port Hudson, which in
evitably awaits it if we improve not the golden
opportunity, the neglect Of which has already
cost us those two stroBgholds.
The Southern Nelos illustrated, published at
Richmond, says that the fall Of Vicksburg, sue
ceeding tho news of the repuse of Lee, caused
the public pulse to ebb lower than ever before.

To A BRIDE-The following letter was written
by on old friend to young lady on the eve OF her
wedding dayt -,
ing moments OF your single life. They are the
pentIest types Of delicate and durable friend
ship. They spring up by our side when others others
have deserted it and they will be iound walehlhs
over our graves when those who should cherish
have forgotten US. 1t seems that past so calm
and pure as yours, should expire with kindred
sweetness about,it that flowers and muse, KIND
rieud, and earnest words, should conscrate the
hour when a sentiment is passing into saera'
ment.
The three great stages Of our being are the
birth. the bridal, snd the burial. 10 the hrst we
bring only weakness, for the last we have nothing
but dust But here at the altar, where life joins
life, the pair come throhbing up to the holy man
whispering the deep promises that arms eacf
Others heart to help on in the life itruggle
care and duty. The beautiful will be there, Dor
rowing new beauties from the scene. The gay
and the frivolous, they and their ilounces vii
look solemn for once. And youth will come Il
gaz. on all its sacred thoughts pant for and ag
will totter up TO hear the old words repeated
that 10 their own lives have given the charm
Some will weep over it as il it were tomb, AM
some laugh over il as il it we're Joke but fie
must stand by it, for it is fate, not fun, this ever
asting locking OF their lives
And now, can you, who have queened it owe
80 many bending forms, can you come down
the frugal diet Of single heart Hitherto 70
have been clock giving your time to oil "a
world. Now you are watch, buried IN one pa

Singular Snow Shower,

A correspondent writing from Tamwor!h, N.
H., states that on the 10Th Of May, after rain had
been falling copously during the early part OF the
morning, suddenly, at about o'clock, without
any sensible change Of temperature, the rain gave
place to one Of the most singular and beautiful
showers Of snow which II is possible to imagine.
1t commenced falling in fl,kes, or congeries Of
fakes varying in size from that Of a dime to a
dollar, and some even as large as the palm of the
hand There being no movement OF the air they
dropped directly, 10 slow and easy motion, from
their laboratory in the clouds, alighting like
feathers or masses OF elder down, upon the green
grass carpet with which the earth was overspread
until, within the space Of thirty minutes or 50, the
whole face Of nature was changed, presenting, over
valley. hill and mountain, one unbroken aspect Of
midwintr.
The trees being in incipient leaf, retained their
portion Of the ieecy burden upon the extremity
| Of every twig, showing close resemblance, in The
open fields to apple trees in their most perfect
season Of bloom, and spreading over the denser
forest an invest.ure Of purcr whteness than that
Of the ordinary winter scene.
A very striking and beautiful feature Of this
phenomenon (for such it may bo caled) wss the
appearance OF the falling snow, when seen in tht
air, by the eye directed toward the zenith. The
flakes, or masses, were Of such huge dimensions
that they could be distinctly seen alof, as far Al
the eye could reach, and traced withou. confusion
10 their descent to the ground while to more
discursye view the entire hemisphere of the uppel
air seemed teemng with winged life.
Words fail for description OF the pleasing
grandeur Of this novel spectacle. There ID no i'm
age in nature with which we are familiar, to as
sst US in the comparison. Many persons contln
ued gazing at this scene, quite unable to Withdraw
attention from it as long as it lasted.
Over what area Of country this curious fall O
snow extended we are not advised. At Nort
Conway, eighteen miles north Of this place, an
at places ten or twelve miles south OF u.s. the ap
pearance was much the same as here. At Jack
son, in the near vicinity OF the White Mountains
we learn that the snow fell on this day to tn
depth OF six inches.
Here, however, the accumulation, though rapi
for the time, was not great, as the showing wa
all over in an hour. Yet in this time the groun
was completely covered, and so dsnsely that
sleigh might run with tolerable npidty on smoot
ror1s, as BY experiment was proved, by som
more romantic than the rest Of us, who were fai
to improve their chance Of sleigh-ride in the mid
die Of May. BY . o'clock, ?. NJ, the snow ha
mostly disappeared, and tho verdure Of the morn
ing clothed lh- hills aud wales in lveisr and NOR
brilliant hues than ever.-Bostoa Recorder.

ing from actual hunger, and children crying for
food A rebel Major and Captain who had
been paroled by Farragut returned to New Or.
leans and took the oath. The rebels would
not receive them. All the above give fearful
statements of destitution in rebeldom.
Vera Cruz advices received in New Orleans
state the French army is entirely inactive, and
not able to accomplish anything without further
large reinforoemenis, which II soon received
they must be driven from the country. French
officers are disgusted. The climate is operating
unfavorably on the soldiers.
Most of the French force at Vera Cruz is ne.
