EGO AND ECHO.
By JOHN G. SAKE.

I asked Of Echo 'tother day,
(Whose words arc few and often tunny)
What, 10 a novice she could say
OF courtshtp, loye, and mairimony?
Quoih Echo, plainly "Matter.o Money y

That long has lured the dear decelycf
She promises to amend her liie
And sin no more can believe her -,

But what it, seemingly afraid
To bind her fate in Hymed's fetter,
She VOWS she means to C.te a maid,
In answer to my loving letter?
Quoth Echo, rath'Jr coolly-"Let her!"
What if, in spite of her di5dain,

With Cupid's dear delicious chain,
SO closely that l can't get out?

But if some maid with beauty blest,
As pure and fair as Heaven can make he

The Next Cotton Crop.

In the March number of De BOlG's Reuie,o the
editor, who has Just completed a tour through
the Cotton States, estimates the next cotton crop
at not more than one million five hundred thou
sand bales. He adds:-"These figures are not
likely to be increased by anything that it is now
to happen, and may be greatly reduced by the
ignorance, neglect, or desertion of the laboring
forces, which, judging from the experience of all
other countries, is more likely to occur than not
and TO reduce the crop to one million or one
million two hundred thousand bales. No ac.
count is taken in the calculation of the applica-
ton OF white labor TO cotton, beyond what was
applied TO it before the war; The extensive NOR
tality of the war has made white labor ut the
South very scarce, and so far it is absorbed in
the necessary pursuits of the mechanic arts and
trade, which have been furnishing most lucta-
tive employment The wear and tear and
frightiul destruction caused bv the war opened
other channels OF employment besides agricul-
ture. The increase of white labor at the South,
SO far as the next crop is concerned, from immi-
grafton, is too trihing TO be taken into account
The aggregate number of laborers introduced is
insignificant and SO far is largely absorbed in
the citiesn

Vaults of the Bank of France.

OF the vast additions to the buildings of the
Bank OF France now in progress, and which Will
afford considerable space to the administration
and offices now crowded together, the cellars are
the most important part, they being destined to
receive like the old ones, the metallic reserve of
the establishment, amounting generally to seve-
raj hundred millions of francs. The walls of
these vaults are oil stupendous thickness. On
descending the first steps leading to their en-
trance the first obstacle we find is an iron door,
locked with three keys, one of which is in the
HANDS OF the Governor Of the Bank, the second
is kept by The cashier, and the third by the CEN
sor so that this door cannot be opened without
the simultaneous consent OF these three tunc-
tionares. We thus gain access to first com
paItment containing the fGnds for current use
The safe kept lere is so curioHs!y constructed
that if you do not know the secret of It's con-

p The next compartment is circular and called
SeYre; it cannot be entered without the same
ceremonial, and It is Tilted up with hre-proof
shelves. IL contains all the important deeds,
notes aud papers belonging to the Bank; also
dedosits OF private persons. Here the Duke oil

Mrs. Bgelow, wife of the American Minister
in Paris, is seriously Ill. The French papers
describe the modest ,nlenage of the republican
representative with much admiration for its
Spartan simplicity. One journal found Mr..
Bigelow cooking his own ham and eggs without
any attendant 10 wait ON him, and appears to
think that these domestic incidents are fit sub
ects of public curiosity.

AN UNEXPECTED GALE.

From the Philadelphia Agel
The recent conversation of President
johnson with distinguished Senator re-
minds us, in its effects on the pretended sup
porters Of the administration, of one of those
typhoons which sweep the China seas and
sink whole fleets before warning breeze has
even admonished the mariner to take in sail.
All kinds ofAbolition craft, brigs, schooners
and bumboats, were sailing comfortably over
the political sea, with negro suffrage" in
scribed on tho bunting at their mastheads,
and with lively expectations Of making a
snug port and a safe landing in the happy
harbors of Office, patronage, plumber and Eat
contracts. No fall Of the barometer, no adj
monitory word from the CRroaicie at WASH
ington, or the Commonwealth at Boston. indi-
Gated that gale was brewing which would
wreck the whole feet.
The waves were unruified save by fra
grant African zephyr-the sun bright-the
sky elOudless-when along comes the lrur-
ricane blowing straight from the direction
OF the White House, whistling through the
cordage, shivering the masts, and sending
the unlucky vessels scampering over the
seas, where they are still tossing without
chart, compass, or prospect Of port Or 10
drop metaphor, which is vicious kind of
writing at best, and 10 come down 10 plain
English, this conversation of the President
with distinguished Senator" has occasioned
a most dire and unpleasant embarrassment
among that large class Of patriots whose
sympathies are With the Radicals, but whose
pecuniary and political interests will not
suffer them TO break with the Executive.
To find all their authoritative declarations
OF what the President meant 10 do 40 sud-
denly upset and falsi6ed, BY words coming
straight from his own moth, was indeed a
as hard to bear as Il was entirely
unforeseen.

CHRISTIAN CHARITY.
From tho Memphis Appeal

From the Memphis Appeal
A poor little orphan girl, some seven
years Of age, was, some days since, found
wandering, homeless about the streets, and
taken 10 the StatiOn-house. She Il fatherless,
motherless, and so far as can be learned,
without any relations or friends. Her
father, she says, died in the Federal Hos
pital. A prisoner at the Ssation-house, who
has been an inmate OF the Jail ak months,
awaiting trial on a very grave, though not
infamous charge, and who, ON account OF his
health, has been allowed 20 occupy quarters
where his familyczn visit him, touched with
compassion for this poor little wall, rather
than see her left to the rude association Of
prison, sent her home with his own laugh
ter, who is now taking care Of her. He Il,
however, poor man, and has five other
little dependent ones, whose bread and sus-
tenance depend upon him.
Should the trial which he has continually
desired, result in bis enlargement, this little
creature will have, even then, but preca-
rious shelter; for his death, at any tine
and who has any sure lease Of life would
suspend the support she now shares with his
own. II does seem 70 US that, in this great
city, where there are thousands Of persons
with ample means, there must be among
them at least one whose heart is imbued
with the like feelings Of this Samaritan Of
the City Pri,on, and who viii DO willing 20
give better assurance for the future Of this
fatherless, motherlezs little one, than il Is
possible for him 10 provide, under present
or any probable future circumstances.
Should there be such an one, il would Be
a good days work TO resolve, and 10 put
that resolution into action, 70 take this
little orphan of his hands Further infcr-
nation may be- obtained, IL desired with that
view, at the editorial office Of this paper.
