A YEAR AGO.


4
A year ago he came to me,
Mid the fragrance Of May flowers,
A wear ago, when hurum'd the bee
Round her violetscerted bowers;
Andiroln the sun parting gleam ,s-
Lay like blessing on the stream.
Though the flowers were bright and fair, -.
Aud brighter stu the springs blue SKY,
And pleasant was the evening air,
And sweet the song-bird's lullaby,
And radiant was The golden CLEAN
That fell upon yOn favor'd stream
A sweeter incense Ger me stole, 90
And brighter colors round me play'd,
And richer music thrilled my soul -,
Than flowers, or light, or birds e'er made;
I sought not for my JOY q name,
Nor questioned whence this pleasure came.
T only knew that he was near,
That / was standing by his side,
And that with mingled hope and fear --.
He'd wood me for his bride,
As sunlight to the April flower
To me the memory of that hour.
No heart thrilled to his lightest tone,
As thrill the leaves TO evenings breath
And standing there with him alone,
Ihad no thought Of pain or death,
Bnt dream'd our lives as bright might be
AS sunlight on summer sea.
An hour, and then he said adieu;
Our hopes were bright, our hearts beat high
The future opening to our view
Seemed rich with tints OF heavenly dye
noted not the winds sigh,
Nor saw that clouds had dimm'd the sky
1 cared not that the gong was hushed
Ofbird, and softly murmuring bee,
Or that the light no longer flushed
The purling stream TIA sirS s fjj66feierided,,
Nor now my dream would soon be ended
Far distant in our Southern land,
With summer's light and blQom around hi
The lea der Of a noble band,
He fell mid laurel wFeaths that crowned bin
His comrades watched his parting breath,
And heard bis faltered prayer in death.
He prayed for country, friends, and homC
Then, "Grant, oh God, that she love,
In thine own time, may surely come
To meet me in the world above"
And, with the days departing light,
His spirit took its upward flight.

'nen peoup ar organization, that it is the be-
nei Vi w Chaillu and some other African ex-
piofeiS ehat their numbers are gradually de-
0.eaS' lg, and that their country, unless here
al'e' populated from other sources. will even
'" Ally become an unpeopled waste. Yet we
/enture to say that SO extreme an admirer of
the facts and potentialities of the negro or
ganization as Mr.. Horace Greeley will not
assert, even of the shirtless cannibals of Gen.
trail Africa, that they are, individually or COL
lectively, as powerful, as civilized, and as re-
fined as they are few and sparse.
1t is also of the utmost importance to dis
tinguish between that kind of individuality
which displays itself in an intense devotion
to personal pleasure, ease and comfort, and
that kind which displays itself in the i'm
provement of body, or of mind, or of both.
In the latter days of ancient Rome, the
wealthiest and most cultivated of her popula-
ton ceased to reproduce itself. Its women
had not learned, to be sure, the trick of
feticide and of embryonic elimination. But
its men amply compensated for the igno-
rance by inventing and practicing vices that
were fatal to the most essential conditions of
reproduction.
This Roman Indifference or disgust for
modes of life favorable to progeny, as thought
full observers well know, is prevalent to an
ominous extent at the chief centers of wealth,
cultivation and luxury in the modern world.
1t is exhibited on the part of men in a grow
ing repugnance to marriage, and on the part
of women in a growing repugnance to the
perils of parturition and the cares and respon-
sibilities of infant nurture Every new con-
quest of fashionable extravaganza in dress and
upholstery, every novel invention of fashion,
able gastronomy, every fresh device for en-
hancing the privileges, comforts, luxuries and
voluptuous vices of celibacy, are so many
deadly blows at a potential posterity. And
surely it will not be contended that this pro-
cation of the species, tends to promote the
perfection of the individual. 1t is not even.

degree of brain labor to absorb the vital

kingdom in general, are, when not blunted
by paralyzing narcotics, more than ever stim-
ulated, and it is excess, not defect, of eroti-
cism that initiates against marriage and its
normal consequences. What society would
be if through diffusion of wealth and its
concomitant facilities, refnements and temp
tations, this system were universalized, may
be easily guessed. The civilized world would
be one vast Babylon; not to last long, how
ever, for it would soon be suffocated with the
reek OF its own denominations.

FANCY AND STAPLE GRocERIEs.-To the many
friends and patrons of the old and popular gro
cery house Of Messrs. Henning Il Co., 95 and 81
Camp street, opposite the CRESCENT Office, the
mention 1of the fact that their stock OF staple
and fancy groceries is large and complete
in every particular. may be superuous, but as the
advantage to be derived by those coming among
Us is being the means of flooding our city with
thousands of industrious and enterprsing citizens,
and consequently ignorant Of the facilities within
their grasp, we here state for their information
that nowhere in the Southern country is there a
bigger field for gratifying the palate than the one
presented to the public by Messrs. Henning Co.
Everything in the eatable line, of the choicest
kind, Is to be found at s5 and 81 Camp street.
We here take pleasure in announcing TO the pub
lie and the many friends of Mr.. Crippea that,
nom close attention TO the interests of the house

TIE 0PERA.-We have naught to say OF the
second performance this season of La Travi-

fully sung by Nine Lembele AIhaiza, Mr.. EngeI
and Mr. Peront. To Mr.. Peront we have especial
compliments to pay for the pathos and saroir
tdire which he again displayed in his entreat-
ments to Tioletta to abandon his son. Mr.. Peront
was grand and eloqaent The brindsi" Of
the frat act elected .nerited applause for Nine
Lambele Alhaiza and; sir. EngeI, both of whom
were in excellent voiae. The charm of the per-
formsnce was enhanced by crowded house,
every portion Of the city having sent delegations
of their beauty and elegance.
We also noticed a representation Of blonds
from Kentucky, which were the cynosure of the
audience and formidable rivals in beauty Of our
Creole brunettes. We are happy to chronicle the
improvement in the attendance now that the opera
company are in a better way to please. Tonight
mixed performance will take place, consisting
of Ofenbsch's "La Belle Helene,r aud grand
vaudeville in two scts entitled Lies Chevalers du
Pince-Nez.n Tomorrow the opera boufes "Barbe
Bleue" ard ola Belle Helene" Mines. Bourgeois
and Alhaiza in the principal roles. On Thursday,
bear 1t well in mind, Van Hnalen, our favorite
basso, takes his benefit. "The Huguenots,' Mey-
erbeer's chef d'euvre, will be the opera per-
formed, with Mr.. Van Hufhen as the austere and
brave Marcel.

MRS. LINCOLN's NOTIONS.

Mrs. Lincoln is a melancholy monument
of the decay of republican simplicity and
modesty in a country which it has been the
custom to describe as approaching most
nearly to the model of a perfect republic.
This unhappy ex-mistress of the White House
evidently regards herself in the light of a
queen unkingdomed and a widow by some
strange treason in the state. Poor lady!
She lived in Washington at a bad time for
acquiring proper notions as to the personal
behavior or the style of living suitable to a
Presidents wife or a Presidents widow. She
wants, she says in her petition to Congress,
an appropriation to enable her to live in
manner becoming to the latter character.
What she means is not to be mistaken. She
was taught by the persons and the scenes
surrounding her in Washington, the seat of
profigate "loyalty and shoddy" ostenta-
ton, that money is the essence of all respecta-
bility, of all dignity, of all propriety. She
has seen men, who without money are nothing,
with money everything. She has learned
that others, though they might be everything
that money could not buy, counted for moth
ing because they failed somehow to buy
money. So she naturally concludes that,
without plenty of this talismanic article, not
even Presidents widow can escape social
degradation and cipherhood. And, in
presence of a creed which has so many
devout followers in this grand republic, who
will say that she is very far wrong?

The music of the negro deckhsnds is rarely
heard. in these days, along the banks of the Mis-

perfect content among them that absolute rel.
ance in the captain, the mate and the pilot; that

human nature, he guarantees to all who have con.
dence in his truthfulness that there is place Of
