For the Herald.
The Cottage by the Stream.
BY ALVARO.

'Tis the sweet Sabbath eve; how
calm and serencly quiet the day
with its joys and sorrows is sinking
to rest. The morning sunlight that
flooded hill and dale, is fading into
golden eve, the evening clouds lie
slumbering in the sky, and on the
winds there is borne the sweet
sound of the old village bell,-dear
old bell, for long years thou hast
tolled the funeral dirgc for many
who are now sleeping the last, long
sleep. How oft have we been sum
moned by thy solemn tones to
mingle our tears with the bereaved
and lonely ones of earth. To-day
thou hast tolled for one for whom
many tears shall fall.
From the Cottage by the Stream
we hear the voice of weeping; for
long weary months the angel of
death has been lowering round,
patiently waiting to watt the spirit
home.
Last night when the pale stars
faded from out the sky, they came
at mid-night's holy hour and bore
across the silent stream dear little
Eva, and to-day heads are bowed
in grief, for the light of the cottage
by the stream has gone out forever.
The sunlight of her smile has faded
to beam again in heaven. Oh! if
grief like theirs cannot call from us
a tear, may our eyes never learn to
weep.
Toll on, old bell, blend thy sad
tones with the grief of the saddened
household, where to-day the cold
and Iifeless form of Eva bore the
infant smiles of innocence.
In the deep, hushed hours Of the
night, we have watched by the side
of her whose spirit the angels have
beckoned home.
Tonight the stars in the blue
dome of heaven, shed theirpaIe light
round the cottage by the stream.
The moon rises clear in heavens
cloudless sky, but silently across
the stream the bark mas gone to
that sunny land where the knell Of
death is never heard.
The death angels wings flung
their shadow DER the cottage by. the
stream, and the familiar songs of
old are heard no more and out up
on the midnight sky, the pale stars
look tremblingly down upon the
mournful scene. But ever at the
returning twilight hour, the voice
of prayer is heard, and grief, too
deep for utterance, tears, bitter
tears-tell the depth of sorrow that
mark the passing hours.
The sound of the ripling waters
their sad song with the grief
of the oppressed. No more the
sound of joyous laughter is heard
in the cottage by the stream; no
more the rose and lily blossom by

MARK TWAIN.
How old Jake won the Cheese,

Some years since l was employ
ed as warehouse clerk in a larg e
shipping house in New Orleans, and
while in that capacity, the follow
ing funny scene occurred;
One day a vessel came in, con
signed to the house, having on
board a large lot of cheese from
New York. During the voyage
some of them had become damag-
ed by bilage water, (the ship
having proved leaky,) consequent
, ly the owners refused to receive
them: they were therefore sent to
the consignees of the ship, to be
slowed until the case could be adj
iusted. I discovered a few days
afterwards, that as to perfume they
were decidedly too fragrant to re-
main in the warehouse in the mid
die of June, and reported the same
to my employees, from whom l re-
ceived order, to have them over
hauled, and send all that were pas
sible to Ceard & Calhoun's auction
mart, (then in the old Camp street
Theatre, to be disposed of for the
benefit of the underwriters, and the
rest to the swamp. | gotta gang of
black boys to work on them, and
when they stirred 'em up, BE the
bones of Moll Kelley's quart pot!
but the smell was Elegant intirely."
I kept a respectable distance, be-
lieve me, for strong niggers and
strong cheese, on hot June day,
just bangs all common essences, in
cluding a certain "varmint" we
read about.
Presently the boys turned out an
immense fellow about three feet
six inches 'across the stump" from
which the box had rotted; in the
centre a space about ten inches was
very much decayed, and appeared
to be about the consistency of
mush, of blush tint-caused by the
bilge water. The boys had justset
1t up on its edge on bale of gun
ny-bags, when l noticed over the
way a big darkey (then on sale)
from Charleston, South Carolina,
who was notorious for his butting
propensities, having given most of
the niggers in that vicinity taste
of his quality in that line. | had
seen him and another fellow, the
night previous, practicing; they
would stand one on each side Of
hydrant, some ten yards distant,
and run at each other with their
heads lowered, and clapping their
hands upon the hydrant they would
butt like veteran rams. A thought
struck me that l might cure him of
his Dragging and butting, and at the
same time have some fun, so l told
the boys to keep dark, and l called
'Old Jake" over.

"Yes."

And Old Jake started back some
fifty feet and went it at a good,
quick run, and the next instant
heard dull, heavy sound, a kind
Of sqush, and Old Jake's head dis
appeared from sight, with the top
just visible on the other side, as he
rose with his new-fashioned neck
lace, the soft rotton cheese oozing
down all around him as it settled
down so that just his eyes were WIS.,
ible. From the centre Of it Jake's
voice was scarcely audible and half
smothcred, as he vainly tried to re-
move the immense cheese.

Meanwhile was nearly dead, my
self, having laid back on a cotton

stood round Old Jake paying him

"Well, you IS nasty niger, dat

'Well, you is de biggest kline of

"Whar you git your bar greese?'
and thus the boys run Old Jake
now half smothered-when took
compassion on him, and told them
to take it off. Jake didn't stay to
claim his prize, but put out growl-
ing.
"Gor-a-mighty! done got sole
dat time. Use a case OBJ yellow fe-
ber-I is myself!'
Old Jake was never known to do
any more butting in that vicinity
after that.
