TIE GAS AND THE Gas Wo RKs.-The Gas
Works are now manufacturing very good
article Of gas, but not in quantity sufficient
to warrant the lighting or all the street

BUSINESS, IN A SMALL WAY, thriyes won
ierfully in Richmond, il We are TO judge
from the great number Of lemonade, cake,
pie and fruit stands that cucumber the ave-
nues of the city under the shade and in the
full glare Of the sun, The stock in trade is
small, and so is the amount of capital in
vested. A few oranges, a dozen cakes,
pint or so of cherries, a great deal OF water

Juice hayoring 1t, constitute the store Ct
me Of these enterprisiug street merchants.
some of the proprietors are women, some
men, who, before the evacuation and Ere,
probably owned a larger stock; many are
ooys, and not a few are composed of the
reed negroes who have turned out to shit
TOR themselves and hoe their own row
through life. All day long they keep watch
and ward by their stock, and every passer-
by is saluted with the monotonous invita-
ton" Nice cool Lemonade" d" nice sweet

none has deserved or received more admit
ration than the "Lady Sterling" Zone Of

now under the command of Captain Girard,
who, during tho war, has been as conspic.

Tor the modesty and kindness which g,ace
his private life. We understand that he has
participated in more than twenty engage
ments as an officer of the Volunteer Navy
OF the United States, and has everywhere
attested bis valor and his seamanship.
His recent visit to our city was made in
company with party of ladies' and gentle
men fr Jm Washington, under the auspices
Of Mr.. Horatio Bridge, the able and efficient
Chief of the Bureau Of Provisions and
Clothing in the United States Navy. We

The sweet, sweet days when eur love was new
When was trnstfal and YOU were true
The beautiful days. bat few.
Blest OF wretched, fettered or free.
Why should care how your life may be.
Or whether Won wander by land or sea
l only know you are dead 10 me,
Ever and hopeleSsly.
oh how often, at days Decline
pushed from my window the cartaining vine.
To see from our lattice the starlight shine,
Type Of 4 message that, half divine.
Flashed from your heart 10 nine.
Once more the starlight Is sllveriag all
The roses sleep by the garden wall
The night-bird MARBLES his madiigal-
And hear again through the sweet az AL
The evening bagle-cau.
But summers viii vanish, and years will wane
Aud bring no light to yoar window pane
No gracious sunshine nor patient rain
Can bring dead love back 10 life again
l cali up the past in vain.
Ny heart is heavy, my heart IS old.
And that proves dross which counted gold;
| watch no longer your curtains fold,
The window Is dark, and the sight is cold,
And the story forever told.
