Ask Me Not to Drink.

Fair lady, ask me not to drink
A toast to thee Tonight
For broken VOWS and blasted hopes
Expose the demons blight;
Put back the wine, dare not taste
Put back the sparkling bowl
Fer who hath quaffed draught SO deep,
And reached blissful goal2
oh! ask me not, there lies within
4 poison deep and dire!
And every drop but serves the more
To fan thc iateny nre;:
Each draught will quench my sense of guilt
And blast youths budding hope,
Each drop will sink me deeper still
In moral night to grope.
0h! press me not to touch the cup,
Within are glaring eyes,
And starving widows, hungry babes,
Apd freezing orphans cries.
Whom the Gods destroy they first make DRUM
Then ask me not to drink
Oh. tempt me not, but spare my soul
From dsath2S eternal brink.
have three sisters mildly fair,
Like angels around my way
Whose love is like the stars that shine
With undlminlshed ray
Shall they be doomed to see me fail,
A prey to maddening drink
And sundered be the love that binds, Co..
Or snaps the golden link ?
Another sleeps where sadly wayes
The willows in the vale
And midnight whispers in the sky
Come on the signing gale
She passed away as summers breath,
In Afes incipient bloom
Then tempt me not, would not mar
Her slumbers in the tomb. ..

1E- The new sensation novel, "Grif
9Th Gaunt," has teen dramatised and is
now all the rage in the principal cities
of the country. We admire the taste of
those communities p%atronizing the drama
when such moral stories are the subject
of dramatic talent, Many Of the bon ton,
masculine, of course, want to see the re-
suit Of onel man marrying two wives SO
that they may shape their actions ac-
cordingly, while the feminine portion of
the body polite are anxious to see how
one of their own sex behaves when she
discovers that her "lord and master !.
has two strings to his bow" The nov
ell and play are properly named-Grif-
fifth Gaunt being lean and skinny in all
that tends TO inculcate good morals. 1t
is a vile composition and disgraceful to
decent society.

~. 1t will be scarcely believed, but it
is q fact, that a number of bales of cot.
ton rescued from the river and which be-
longed to the late steamer Fashion, are
yet burning and all attempts to exiting.
uish the fire have proved unavailing.-
These bales taken from the river wet
the heavy rains which have fallen upon
them, together with %copious doses Of
the aqueous element literally bestowed
by the %salvors, have failed, in many in.
stances to cur certain knowledge, to ex-
haust the efforts of the fire. Our river
banks are strewed with loose cotton and
remnants Of burnt bales, which, if col
iected, would yield a handsome sum to
the underwriters. Portions of the wreck
al be seen ON this side the river, but
strange to relate, no bodies Of the unfor-
tunate sufferers have been found.

forts to show fitting respect to the remains
of our much lamepted Governor, HENRY
W. ALIEN. The State House grohnds
have been decided upon as the place
" here bis remains shall lie until a better

ed. For ~ourseIf, we think the spot where
he fell with the wound which ultimately
caused his death, to be the proper and
most appropriate situation where bis ash

mittee Of citizens appointed for that pur-
pose have thought proper to differ with
US Oh that point, we bow to their deci-
sions. Messrs. G. M. Lockwood and P.

services to construct the vault wherein
his body shall be buried, and Mr. Raben

FRED FUNKE. and our much valued friend
JACOB PIPER have also rendered their SER

one calling himself a citizen or resident OF
our State-every man who appreciates
noble actions and gallant deeds-every
man who can feel for one who spared
nothing to feed the hungry, clothe the
naked, and who administered to the
wants Of the sick and wounded, will re-
frain from participating in the last sad
testimonials of respect to one whose
every thought and wish was Louisiana's
pride and prosperity. No matter what

silent grave hides all.
