From the New York Commercial Advertiser. ]
Opera-glasses are as much misplaced
in the hands of impudent people as are
fire.ar IN the hands of fools. And
yet it wOuld almost seem that no one
possesses gu Opera-glass who is not
impudent. 1t is bad enough to be
stared at with the naked eye," but
when one brazenly brings to bear on
you an Opera-glass it is uncomfortable.
No Well-bred person does il, however,
and that is some con ;olation. It is
done only by those overstocked with
impudenee. A friend of mine a few
evenings since, at one of our places of
amusement. adopted an expedient TO
protect his wife sitting by bis side,
from one of these impudent. bores,
which proved effectual.
Ga the other side of the house sat an
effeminate looking young man, more
gsudily than tasteiully dressed, with an
opera glass, which, after surveying tie
audience and selecting some lady, he
would clap to his eyes and stare at her
for minutes. He finally brought his
glass to bear upon my friends wife,
who. noticing this action, became quite
uneasy and nervous. Finally my friend
took the card with the word "Taken"
printed on it, which he found on his
seat, and held it up directly in front of
his wife. The boor looked a moment
longer-and but moment, and then he
turned his gaze elsewhere Those in
the immediate vicinity saw the action
and enjoyed it greatly. Boor. however,
finding that lady was "taken," sought
others, and lsbored assiduouslyy with
his glass all the evening, giving no at
tentIon whatever to the performance.

saUASDERED LIVES.
By BAYAnD TAYLOR.


The fisherman wades in the sUrges;
The sailor sails over the seas
The soldier steps brsvely to battle;
The wOO6man lays Ak to the trees.
Thevare each Of the breed of the heroes,
The manhood attempted in strife;
Strong hands that 50 lightly TO labor, r
True hearts that take comfort IN strife. =
In each is the seed 20 replenish -
The world with the yigor IL needs
The center of honest affections,
The impulse to generous deeds.
But the shark drinks the blood of the fisher
The sailor is dropped in the sea.
The soldier lies cold by his cannon.
The WOodmsn Is crushed by his tree.
Each prOdigal life that is wasted
In many achievements unseen,
But lengthens the days OF the coward
And Strengthens the crafty and mean
The blood Of the noble is lavished
That the selfish profit may find;
God sees the lives that are squardereds
And we to His wisdom are biind.

This Company, therefore, offers the choice
of paying all cash, or giving note for such
part of the premium. Persons preferring TO
pay all cash can do go. and have al the adj
vantsges of an all cash company, and some
afforded only by this Company. Those who
prefer larger insurance than their cash will
pay for, and therefore choose to borrow Of
the Company part of the premium, can do
50 during life or for any number of years by
giving loan note for this part Of the pre-
MUM. Or one can pay all cash for q number
of years, and if for any reason he becomes
unable to pay, or prefers not to do so, he
may give all motto for the next few years, up

This method offers to cash paying men,

viz: that after having made several pay
ments the policy may be kept in force for
several years by giving note for the whole

interest thereon at toe end CT each year.

The YeIIOw Fever at New orleans.
[From the Chicago Evening Journal. ]


The Northern people have a very inn
perfect idea of the terrible extent to
which the yellow fever is prevailing,
and the havoc it is making in Texas and
Louisiana. We have before ms this
morning a private letter from Major
Kinzie Bates, of the regular army, now
In command of Jackson Barracks, near
the city of New Orleans, stating that on
Sunday last there were $50 men out of
the $50 privates down with the fever,
and also eight officers, among whom
were Gen. Graham, Major Smith. Major
MarstoD, DIR. Clemens. DIR. White, DIR.
Arnold, DIR. Culimer (army surgeons),
Lieut. Arnold, and Lieut.. Driscoll. Up
to that date. during the present moHth,
there had been sixty deaths among the
soldiers In the barracks. and four among
the officers, out of 400 IN ALL All the
post surgeons are sick. and the pbysi-
G ans from the city are attending the
hospital. Major Kinzie states that he
is the fourth officer who has been as
siyned to the command OF the post sioce
the breaking out of the fever, each be-
ing in turn taken down sick. On the
21st there we're twenty-five deaths 10
the barracks. which, although ordina
rily one of the healthiest localities on
the Lower Mississippi, is nov .sper-
feet charnel-house." 80 ASS
He writes also that the yellow fever
is vastly worse at the barracks than it
is in the city. Bat few of the citizens
are really aware OF the actual state of
affairs at the barracks. As an example
of the way this terrible disease attacks
its victims, the Major says: Sturgeon
White, while putting Gen. Graham In
a mustard bath, was struck with the
disease as if by a blacksmIth's sledge
hammer. The surgeon now in charge

cried softly, when she heard of his fool
ish threatenings, and only chung the
closer to John and to Johns father and
mother. They supplied want which
she had always known-the want OF
true sympathy. Her parents loved her
after their fashion; but it was not a
real love that seeks the happiness of its
object. Far from it. They were too
worldly, too fond of style, and too eager
TO make an appearance, to feel anything
like real love or real friendship.
