The Queen OF the BAH.

1t was fine ball-a Christmas ball
The gayest that ever was seen,
Beauty and fashion thronged the whole hall,
And Sis-pretty Sis-was the queen.
She looked like a beautiful star
To the mariner tossed in distress,
Her eyes. like beacOns. sione from afar,
Transcendent was she in her dress.
Her form was as fresh as the fawn.
So airy and agile She
The rose. with the dew Of the morn
No fresher or swecter could be.
Smiles gently played on her face,
Dispensing their lustre DER all,
She was true picture Of grace.
And she was the queen Of the ball.
She was all that the heart could desire,
From the tip Of her toe to her tress,
No stole could see, but admire.
Angelic was she in her dress
Weekly Trinity journal., 1869-08-07

WORK AND DISSIPATION was William
Pitt, dead at fortynine, carrying the British en-
pire on his shoulders for quarter of century,
and attempting to carry pint of port wine daily
and pinch of opium in his stomach laundering
in mid-ocean with this over-cargo. What wreck
was that when Brinsley Sheridan went to pieces
on the breakers of intemperance and over-work!
There, too, was Mirabeau, that prodigy of health
and strength, of versatility and splendid talent,
killed by the overwhelming labors and excite
ments of the tribune and the orgies of the night.
Sergeant S. Prentiss attempted double task
and if ever man might with impunity, he
could, with leonine health and marvellous men,
tai gifts. Said distinguished Mississippi law
yer: "Prentiss would sit up all night, gambling
and drinking, and then 60 into court next day
and make better plea in all respects than
could, or anybody else at the bar of the State,
even though we studied our case half the night
and slept the rest" He tried it, and in trying,
burned to the socket in forty-one years the lamp
of life that had been trimmed to last four-score.
draft upon the constitution in behalf of the
appetite is just as much draft as in behalf Of
work; and if both are habtually preferred to-
gether, bankruptcy and ruin are sure and swift.

A Rcbes~ tn Peddier's Pack.

A private letter from Hamilton coun.
ty, in this State, says that one night last
week, peddIer, carrying an unusually
heavy and bulky budget, stopped at q
farm house, about six miles from Nc
Leansboro, and asked permission to
leave the pack, for he was worn out and
could carry II no further The consent of
the lady of the house being gained. the
pack was deposited in the sitting.room,
and the peddler passed on. Just before
retiring to bed, the lady o. the house
found 1t necessary to move the pack,
and In doing so discovered that 1t con-
tanned man. She at once advised her
husband OF the discovery, and be, great
ly exasperated at trick that meant rob-
berry and probably Murder fred his re-
volver into the budget, the report being
answered by an outcry OF pain. The man
being released, was found the possessOr
of q revolver and Bowie-knife, and con-
fessed that it. was his purpose to rob the
family, and burn the building to cover
up his crime. The ball fred BY the farm
er having penetrated the bowels OF the
uld.be-robber and incendiaiy, he died
during the ensuing day.

Tn. au,e.s,ep and on.e Sullivan.

The collision between the Cairo aud
Evansville packet Quickstep and the
steamer Ollie Sullivan, at the head OF
Diamond Island on Saturday night, was
referred TO In our river column, yester-
day. The Paducah Herald gives the
following particulars: The ouickstep
whistled once and the Sullivan answered
with one whistle, but soon after the
Quickstep commenced pulling across
the beam of the Sullivan and blowed
two whistles, but being too late for the
Sullivan to change, she again bowed
one whistle and commenced backing, the
Quickstep coming ahead all the time,
striking the sullivan just forward of the
ash pan, cutting her through to the KEEL
son, when she sunk In about five minutes
up TO her hurricane roof. All the pas
sengers and crew were saved by jumping
on the stern of the Quickstep, but one
lady and her two children, who went
down with the Inflated steamer and
were drowned. From all we have heard
of the accident, the Quickstep is to
blame. ..
