THE MEMPHIS RACES,
FIFTH DAY.

Special to the New Orleans Crescent
MEMPHIS, May 1.-The attendance to-day at the
races was by far the largest during the meeting.
The ladies' stand was over-crowded, the weather
was perfect delightful, and the track in splendid
condition.
The first race waI' two mile heats, free for all
ages, for a purse OF $500. Betting was very
spirited, there being three entries, viz: E. A.
Smiths Cnickdnauga, MitcAelPs Pat Clebwne,
and NJ. c. Castello's Agnes DonOUan. The latter
was the fsvorite against the field, but the result
told different story, Agnes being distsnced in
the first heat, and Chicamauga winning the race
in two heats.
The second race was mile heats, free for all
ages, for which E. A. Smiths Beauty, 8. B. Pat
terson's WhisenhuRt, and r. M. Mitchell's Elgin
were entered. Beauty won the race in two heats.

IsucilIa Lee and Eva Gray.
A SERMON IN RrME.

One is poor, aud one is rich
Lucille Lee and Eva Gray
No need to tell you which is which,
For one is sad, and ono is gay.
And one is clad in woolens fine,
With costly pin, and victorine,
A broderd cape Of rich design,
And shoes Of flashing sheen.
The others earb FOR pity suea,
All patch'd and tatter'd, thin and old,
Her feet scarce covered with her shoes,
And redden'd with the cold.
Ones father is a wealthy man
The proud 0ld banker, Jobn,G, Gray
who sports a cooth and "bl6oded span"
And lives O lord each day.
And Mrs. Gray docs nothing more
Than fold her dimpled hands in ease,
Or daintily career them e'er
Her rich piano keys.
They have palace ine and grand,
Upon the brow ofyouder hill;
They have their servants at command,
10 answer to their will.
Aud thus IL is that Eva Gray
Has every boon that gold can bring;
No wonder that her heart Is gay
A. blithest birds Of Spring.
Now let us turn to Jenny Lee,
Row bending with the weight years,
Darl, years Of toll and poverty
Of sorrows and of tears.
And still he tolls for means to live,
Each weary day that passes -o'eri
He asks the world this toll TO give,
And asks il for no more.
And she, the shorer Of his woes,
Though weak and old, must bend each day,
Tho wash.tub o'er,--a drudge for those
Who live like Mrs. Gray.
And thus it is, Lucilia Ice
Must wear a gown so thin and old,
And that her shoes 40 torn must be
Her feet SO red with cold.
III were rich (?) seems 10 me
I'd like to take purse OF gold,
And secS the hut of Jenny Lee,
81 toil-worn and 10 old
And shy 20 him, "Gcccpt Of this,
You are too old to labor more
Tho paltry sum shall not miss
From my abundant store.
"Go, buy n pleasant place to live,
And whatsoever else you choose;
il is my duty thus to give,
Aud yours--not TO refuse.
"Accept and use It, nothing 10th,
'Ts due to her--yOur carc-wOrn wiiej

Rcleu'd rom toll for life.
"And dress Lucilla warm and clean,
with broidcr.d cape Of pattern gay,
And flashing shoes. and victorine,
Like happy Eva Gray
But gold, 'tis said, dispels the dcws
Which pity sheds upon the heart,
And stiles each desire to choose
The nobler, better part.
II this be 80, I do not crave
A boon that costs the heart 50 dearj
The poor mans lot I'd rath er have
Aud have the poor mans tears.
For God is just, and thuS know
The balance will ot length he even,
And those the LEAST on earth below
May GREATEST DO in Heaven.

Rosebud lay in her trundle bed.
With her small hands folded over her head
And fixing her innocent eyes on me,
Whilea thoughtiul shadow came over their glee.
"Mamma said she, when 90 20 sleep,

And he comes and carries il far Il way
To the beautiful home where his angels stay;

And when, in the morning, wake from my sleep
