we must examine it," responded the
hard hearted official. A female

Proiestations on the part Of the
young lady, the mystery of the

to consist of twelve yards of black

Eife's Changes.
BY wANDERER.

As with my mind gaze'on memory's page,
read my soul, my life, my love;
Feel pangs that. no sweet syrups can as
suage,
No hand allay save His above.
Why can we not, like cunning workmen,
steel
Our hearts, then bend them at our will ?
Why call us men, since we are doomed, and
feel
Forever Adams curse of ill2
I've heard the streamlet, when its plaintive
wall
Was echoed by the mountains side,
Tell of its grief when shaken by the gale,
It's bliss when il doth smoothly glide.
I've heard old ocean howl his wild lament,
And seen him hurl his wrath ashore;
I've seen the soldier leave his guarded tent
To war, then weller in his gore.
I've seen the rich grow poor through selfish
pride,
The poor, by care, grow rich in turn
I've seen the proud man totter by my side,
And others still for honors burn.
I've seen the young man stricken in his
prime
With pains and sickness, care and grief
Through madness rank end his allotted
time,
To seek in p bath for sweet relief.
I've seen the mother press her darling child
Whose life was waning from its form
Close TO her breast, aud raise cry, so wild,
1t pierced the thunders of the storm.
I've seon the strong man how'd with weight
Of years,
Ills mind inactive grown through age,)
Start wildly as he saw, through scalding
tears,
His soul departing from lifes stage.
Yea have seen life in its every stage,
Save where il mingles with eternity;
God can 1t be, and is life but page
In the Great Book Of Thy Memory
Why give us life since we SO soon must die
And leave the things our hearts doth
prize2
Why should We live since life is but lie,
And all things fade before our eyes2
Oil hush my soul this ride lament Of thine,
The thoughts Of God man cannot tell;
But bow tiny form and worship at His shrine
Thy Father doeth all things we'll

BE- To purchasers OF Hardware, we d.
rect attention in proper calumn, to the adj
vertisement from that old and respectable
importing Hardware house of Slocomb,
Baldwin & Co., No. IA Canal and So Com
mon streets, New Orleans. Their business
at its commencement in 1922, which was
but little over two hundred thousand dol
lars per annum, has increased to millions.
Their monthly sales being in excess now
of their first years business. This result
has been accomplished by importing direct
all foreign Hardware, and selling their
goods as low as any house North or South.

New York Markets.

New YORK, Feb. l6.-The great feature of
Wall Street to-day was the stringency of
money and The depression ii caused in
nearly every direction, and the demand
throughout was active. Government deal
ers were generally accommodated at per
cent, and in some cases were lenders them
selves. Stock brokers paid per cent gold,
and in few instances a commission of II &c
was added to the legal rate in currency
In the Gold room brokers paid to ga per
cent to have their gold carried. THIS sud-
den change in the money market is owing
to the combination of the leading bears in
gold stocks, etc., to lock up greenbacks and
depress values. The recent sharp rise in
Government bonds caught some parties
largely short, who made common cause
with the confederates in the gold and stock
markets. The action of certain bank Off.
Gals, says the Express, was very suspicious,
and it is believed that they are interested
in the new bear consolidation.
Gold opened lower and closed at 49,
Sterling exchange weak and unsettled at
1881 for prime banking paper, 1851 for good
and l091sal09}a for sight bills. Tennessee
bonds lower; new 66i 4aB61ac.
