We rejoice at the statement made by
the Montgomery Adrertiser, that II large
portion of the negroes in Alabama have
returned to their former labors, aud that
the fields in that region begin to assume
the appearance ofothcr days. The mer.
chants, too, says the same paper, are
now busily employed; the mechanics
have work TO do from morn to night,
and every department Of life is carried
on with the same energy that it was be.
fore the war.

POETRY.
ONLY WAITING.

A very aged man in an aims house was
asked what he was doing now. He replied,
''Only Waiting"
Only waiting till the shadows
Are n little longer grown;
Only waiting till the glimmer
OF the days last beam is flown;
Till the night of earth is faded
From the heart once full Of day;
Till the stars of heaven are brenk:ug
Through the twilight sof. and grey.
Only waiting till the rcapers
Have the last sheaf gathered momv,
For the summer time is faded,
And the autumn winds have come.
Quickly, reapers gather quickly
The last ripe hours of my heart,
For the bloom of life is withercd,
And hasten to depart.
Only waiting ill the angels
Open wide the mystic gate,
At whose feet long have fingered,
Weary, poor and desolate.
Even now, hear their footsteps,
And their voices far away;
Ifthey call me, an waiting,
Only waiting to obey.
Only waiting till the shadows
Are little longer grown;
Only waiting till the glimmcr
OF the days last beam is flown
Then from out the gathering darkness.
Holy, deathless stars shall rise,
By whose light r2y soul shall gladly
Tread its pathway to the skies.

Fearful Storm Near BuenOs Ayres, y. A.
Fifty Lives lost

A correspondent of the New York Times, writing
from Buenos Ayres, S. A, dated the 2Sth of March,
says
On Monday the 10Th instant. the region of Buenos
Ayres was visited by of the most fearful storms
on record. 1t began about P NJ. and in five min
utes the whole heavens Obscured by driving
clouds of dust, making the day darker than the
dar kest night ever known. It was quite impossible,
IN doors or out, to see your hand before your face
The wind was terrific, and trees, houses, coaches
CARTS and ships were capsized in all directions and
many lives were lost; We have heard of its sweep
ward it was not felt at half the distance No Amer
lean shipping damaged. On the farms cattle and
sheep carried away for leagues before the wind
but not many animals killed The loss of life
was not great was at first feared, butt amounts
to fifty or more. far heard from. The rain fell
northward TO the distance of $50 miles and for 200
eastward, in both directions without wind.
On March 9th the Commander-in- Chief of the Bra
lillian artillery was buried. with much pomp, at Cor
rientes. Ho had requested that firing should oc-
cur at his grave and two hundred officers and large
escort of soldiers proceeded on foot TO the cemetery

A Nice Comment on Divorces.

Some parts of the country, as is known, do a
wholesale business in divorces. and without much
rhyme or reason. The loose manner in which they
granted is often the subject of comment but the
srangest ever heard of is the following re-
ported in the Louisville Courier of the 9Th inst; the
divorce took place at New Albany, Ind:
"a divorce was granted, among many others, in
the case of Mccartney VS.. Mccartney but neither of
suit neither of them were present when the decree
was rendered. and only learned through their friends
that their marital bonds were sundered They are,
and have BEEN living together most happily entire
ly satisfied with each other. and are strongly dis
posed to demur to the singular and summary process
by which their happy relations were dissolved How
the case got into court is entirely unknown to the
parties, but it is supposed to be the work of some
mad joker or enyious Benedict. Of course the par
ties will have to get married again or procure re-
versal of the decree This is another and forcible
illus stration of the loose in which the divorce
busin ess is managed in Indiana"

A STRIKE AT TRENToE.-The journeymen carpen-
ters in accordance with the resolution taken at the
meeting held last week. yesterday demanded an ad-
vance Of fifty cents day On their present rate of
wages. The employers generally refused to give the
advance, and, in consequence large number of men
struck work. The employers say that they are now
paying the wages that paid last season..
when all the pecessaries Of life were much more ex-
pensve; that prices generally coming down, and
that the present demand is unreasonable and unwar
ranted; that they have made their contracts under
of intention to demand an increase. The journey
contend that their wages have been too low, and
that they lower than those of the brcklayers
