LOVES RELIEF.

1 believe II should die,
And you should Kiss my eyeiids when I lie
Cold, dead and dumb to all the world contains,
T folded orbs would open At thy breath,
And from IL exile In the aisles Of death
Life would come gladly back along my veins.
believe II I were dead.
And you upon my lifeless heart should tread,
NotknOwing what the poor clod CHANGED 10 be,
II would ind sudden pulse beneath tho touch,
OF him II ever loved in life so much,
Aud throb again, warm, tender, true 20 thee.
Ibelleve II on my grave.
Hidden IN woody decps, or by the wave,
Your eyes should drop some warm tears Of regret
From every salty seed of your dear grief
Some fair sweet blossom would leap into leaf,
To prove death could not make my love forget
believe Il l should fade
Into those mystic realms where light h made,
And you should long once more my face to see,
would come forth upon the hills Of night,
And gather stars like faggots till thy sight,
Led by the beacon blaze, fen full on mel
Ibelieve my faith in thee.
Strong as my life, sonobly placed 10 be,
Il would az soon expect 10 SEQ the sun
Fall like a dead king from his height sublime,
His glory stricken from the throne Of time,
As thee unworthy the worship thou hast won.
IbeHeve who has not loved
Hath half the treasure OF HIS life improved;
Like one who with the grape within his grasp,
Drops II, with all its crimson juice impressed,
and all lie luscious sweetness left unguessed,
out from his careless and mheeding clasp,
I believe love, pure and true,
Is TO the soul a sweet, immortal dew
That gems life's petals la IT, hours Of dusk:
The waiting angels see and recognize
Therich crown jewel, love Of Paradise,
When life falls from ms like withered husk.

Fatal DueI M New Orleans.

A duel was fought at New Orleans last
Saturday morning, at eight o'clock, between
Louis E.. Moussier and d. f. Lawson. The
weapons were small swords, and the meet
ing took place a little below the leyee. in
the presence Of two or three hundred sol
diers. Moussier, the survivor, makes the
following statement; "0nce on the ground,
| hesitated some time after the swords were
drawn, about fighting, and attempted 10
avoid a difficulty. II was not until he had
cursed me, and run the point of his sword
against my hand, that l made any lunpe at
him whatever. Upon first going ON the
ground ] had stuck my sword into the leyee
bank, and repeatedly told him he had no
%provoeation for fighting. Finally, when
he had several times cursed me, the FIGHT
commenced in good earnest. Twice, then.
after this had commenced, and when / had
twice parted his lunges, I attempted 10
end the difficulty. 1 then made a thrust Al
him with my sword, and the point passed
between the second and third rib In The
left side, penetrating his heart. Lawson.
who had ten or twelve of his friends with
him, was then carried to a carriage. Be
fore he reached this, his surgeon in attend
ance announced that he was dead. ! waa
thereupon arrested by an officer in CHARGE
Of the Barracks who had been a witness %
the fight, and brought 10 the city, though
subsequently released.

Consumption Infectious.


It was our fortune to attend o man slow
" dying Of consumption, who, while hope
lessly and helplessly III, was devotedly
cared for by his wife, who at the time felt
herself, and seemed 10 be, in perfect health.
Years after her husbands death, and
when she was bravely battling against the
disease, which commenced its insidious at
tacks Immediately subsequent to his death,
she related to me the following fact, but
only ON my definite inquiries as to how In
innate her relations had been with him
during his illness IL seem that often, in
wintry nights, that faithful woman would
arise from the side of her husband, who
was lying with his dress drenched with
the chilling sweat of increasing disease,
and would persuade him TO take her warm
clothing and to lie down In the dry
warm place she had just left, while, simply
throwing a blanket over IL, she would take
the spot that had been previously occupied
by him Upon our expressing n horror
at the thought Of the danger she had run,
and which apparently had told with so
much power upon her. He quietly re-
marked that she knew at the time the dan
ger that she was mourning. She had no
thought Of danger 20 herself, and only of
her husbands comfort2 But" added
she, 81 then got what / have never recov-
cred from" A certain vitality seemed TO
so out of her; and though her nature con-
tended for many years against the en-
croachments OF the disease, she finally
died, always believing that she had taken
consumption from her husband, but with
a certain martyr-like Joy that. such had
really been the fact.
We have now in our mind other and an-
alogous cases, as, for example, of husbands
having their first cough when 'inhaling
the breath Of their sick wives" while min
~ist0ring to their necessities. We have
known daughters and sisters, who, full Of
apparent health aud strength, when con-
sumption has seized n mother or sister,
have continued to sleep with the invalid,
and breathe the snme closed-up atmosphere
at night, and watch oil day without per-
haps q moment Of healthful out-of-door ex-
ercise. And we have been distressed to
find not a few OF such healthy young per-
sons gradually beginning to suffer with in
digestion, debility, ana finally cough, and
all the symptoms of consumption. In
some instances, in fact, the attendant has
died before the life Of the original patient
has ended. These facts are very signif-
cant; and although we are well aware that,
in some Of them, other elements of disease
may have had their fatal influences, still
the cases have been full Of suggestions as
30 the necessities Of greater precautions
than We, in this country, have usually
taken in this matte. -Dr Henry q. BoiC-

A Sprck of Trouble.

It il very evident that the greatest oppo-
Bition President Grant will encounter will
be that in congress itself For some reason,
that illustrious body oftalkers seems unwil-
ling to recognize him or his wishes in any
way. Ii is well known, he has said himself
that he wants the Tenure-of-ofice act re-
paaled, but il is equally evident that it will
remain upon the statute book, n stumbling
block 10 the president, an encouragement
10 the Senate, Il source Of trouble, like n
thorn in the flesh. Grants suggestions
concerning the Indians are ridiculed, or
worse disregarded. Surely, ifGrant knows
anything, he knows his business and that
Is the management Of enemies. He shows
clearly, and to the satisfaction of the couu-
try, that the War Department can manage
the Indians, and we all know that the In
dians a entsconn II manage thom. But con-
gress laughs pagsestts resolutions, prepares
its approx riations and virtually tells Grant
10 look out for his end of the ship.
But will the dear man be allowed to have
any end TO the ship at allf We can see no
pleasanter prospect for him than there has
been for Andy johnson. If he cannot con-
troll his s~ubordinates, how can he be Justly
held responsible for their conduct ? What
right have we TO assume that the President
executes, when his officers may laugh in his
face, so long AZ they are all right with the
Senator
The community at large Democrats and
Republican, are tired OF party squabbles
and Of petty chickering's, The stNgnation
Of commerce and Of general trade demands
a change; and unless matte q are quoted
down at the capital we cannot hope for
change or Improvement. Every one is dis
posed TO give Grant Il fair show. His recent
remarks struck n responsive chord in the
hearts of the people at large, and the unap-
imous conclusion Of press and public was.
"Well, he may be q singed cat; let's try
him" Which, considering that We had to
try him, was philosophical, at all events.
But congress don't feel the popular pulse
and there is where the trouble will start. Ii
is bad enough in the House, but ten times
worse in tho Spnatp

These figures are enormous, and, if they
were accompanied by the number of lives
lost, would be appalling. The average of
vessels lost or partly lost, it will be seen, is
over IS a month, or one q day; in money,
the average loss, nearly 81, 800, 600 a,month,
or 500, 900 per day. Enormous as this
may seem, it is but an insignificant por-
ton of the total casualties of the whole
world. In the year 1866, when the total
loss of American shipping was 81 vessels,
the total casualties Of all countries was H.

total loss of ~, 5l3 vessels. OF course,
many Of these were but partial losses

magnitude and appalling character, are
