MY FIRST OF APRIL.

This was the day-a year ago
That first saw her, sauntering slow
Over the meadow, and down the lane,
Where the privct was shining with recen
rain.
The world had flung its torpor away,
And breathcd the pure air Of the Apri
day;
The sap was pulsing through maple-trees
And the rivers were rushing to meet the
seas.
All the secret thrills that through Nature
Silent and swift as the threads Of the sun
Shook with their tremors each growing
thing,
And worked with the mystic charms Of
spring.
Like ghosts at the Resurrection Day,
Tie snow-drops arose from the torpid
clay;
And the violets opened their purple eyes
And smiled in the face Of the tender skies
The larch-trees were covered with Grim
son buds
Till their branches seemed streaming with
sanguine floods;
And the ivy looked faded and old and serc
Mid the greenness that sprouted every
where.
But though the landscape was passing
bright,
Her coming lent tia rarer light;
A tendercr verdure was or the grass,
And flowers grew brighter to see her pass.
Her form and face, as she moved along,
Seemed like Il sweet incarnate song
A living hymn that the Earth. in glee,
Sent up to heaven, the sun, and me.
So seemed she to me year ago,
When first saw her, sauntering slow
Over the meadow. and down the lane,
Where the privet shone with the April
rain.
The year is observation-disclosures.
/ stand to-day on the set-samc spot.
Still do the pallid snow-drops rise,
And the violets open their purple eyes.
And coming greenness is in the lane,
And the privet glistens with recent rain;
The larches sprout, and the blue-birds
sing,
And the earth resounds with the joy of
spring!
But the joy of the world is gone from me;
see no beauty in field or tree;
The flower that bloomcd in my path is
crushed;
The music that solaced my life is hushed'

Swedish parentage, and when a youth
volunteered in the civil war in Spain,
where he rose to the rank of Lieutcn-
ant, Colonel He also served under
Kossuth in Hungary and with the Rus

At the beginning of the late war he
entered the Confederate army. Here
he did not for some reason rise to that
emuencc which his friends expected
him to attain, We never exactly un.
derstood tie reason, but we have been
enlightened by the Charleston News, of
March 23d, which says OF him:
Gen lenningsen was no favorite OF
the Confederate Government He ad-
,sed that 100000 rifles, 500, 600 blank
cts, 400 pieces of fed artillery, aud s..
100000 rounds of small arm ammuni-
ton. should be bought at once and
paid tor by the hypothecation of cotton.
These ideas were communicated to Gen
Toombs, and by him to President Da.
Wis, who spid that Henningsen was
fool. When this tale was told to Hen.

ass. which coming to the ears Of the
President, cut of all hope of promotion

FRANK p. BLAIR, JR.
He Casts his Lot with the South.

The Hancock Club, says the New
Orleans Bee of the 2S:h ult., through
their President, Capt. Pinckney Smith,
invited Gen. Blair to partakc Of their
Inequalities last night. The General
accepted the invitation, and was re.
ceived with cordially. A full turnout
of the members testified to the esteem
in which their distinguished guest was
held. A sumptuous supper in honor
of the occasion wa, laid IN the rooms
OF the club, corner Carondclet and
Gravier streets. Full justice having
been done thereto, the President, in a
few words, gracefully expressed the
pleasure of the Club in meeting Gen.
Blair, to which that gentleman replied
with much good taste and feeling He
said in substance that he had taken his
place in the ranks of the army of the
United States in good faith, for the
purpose of preserving the Union of
the States on the basis of the Constitu.
ton, and that the war ended by the
surrender of The Southern States with
out their being required to consent to
any dishonorable conditions. Snbse.
quently new oppressive conditions
had been imposed on the South by the
dominant faction in Congress, to which
ne had not given his assent. Those
conditions were not such as the North
should exact nor the South agree to-
He had therefore cast his lot with the
South, preferring to share her fate and
participate in the DISTINGUISHING acts
AMI other disabilities which Congress
had seen fit 10 subject her. Gen. Har.
~ I. Hays responded on the part of
the Club, complimenting Gen. Blair as
an honorable Zoe. An hour or two
was passed most agreeably in the in
terehange Of friendly sentiments.

BROWNS COURT
SHIP.

Richard Brown had lived a bachelo
for forty years, and declared his inten
ton of continuing in the state of singh,
blessedness for the remainder Of his
| lfe-greatly to the satisfaction of his
relatives, the Hinklcs, with whom hc
resided; for, be it known, Uncle
Richard was worth cool half mil
lion, and the Hinkles were his only
living relations; and unless, as Mrs
Hinkle said, "some nasty charity
came in for his property, who should
he leave it to but his own cousins OF
their children?
Hopeful as poor humanity is Of
longevity, MI. and Mrs. Hinkle scarce,
ly expected to survive their cousin
who was their junior by ten years
but Adelaide, and Rose, and Charles
and William might, in alb probability
be his heirs, and to this end the pa.
rents labored. Uncle Richard had the
best room in the house, the best chair
the most particular consideration. His
wishes were deferred to, and his adj
vice taken on all occasions; and he
actually came to be loved for, with all
his quaint, old fashioned ways, and his
habit of sitting utterly silent, as though
he had been deaf and dumb, he was a
loveable man. Matters progressed
smoothly enough until it was habit and
not hypocrisy which made Cousin
Richard actually master of the house.
He is very obliging-wonderi'ully so
in most respects. He would attend to
anything for anybody; match ribbons
when nobody else would; escort girls
to a place of amusement; go dutifully
to church with their mamma; attend
to marketing and the posting Of letters,
and the.gas metre, and the turning off
of the water in frosty weather. He
was always ready to search the house
with poker at the dead hour of night,
when any one "heard a noise"
He went to the dentist with people
who wanted their teeth drawn, and
always had sugar-plums in his pocket
But one thing Cousin Richard would
not do, and that was to exhibit the
least sign of poll eless to lady visitors.
He never saw any one home. He
never even spent the evening in their
company. He invariably shut himself
up in his own room, and had his tea
there when one of these individuals
was reported to he in the house; and,
when travelling, had been known in the
trail to shut his eyes tight when a
young lady entered, and remain with
them closed until she left the carriage.
As general thing. indeed, he always
chose carriage where he need not be
intruded upon.
1T was just as we'll, after ALL said
Mrs. Hinkle; but it was quite so agree
able to Mr.. H. when he found the
pleasant task of "seeing Miss Smith OF
Miss Jones home" imposed upon him
self. He argued that such duties were
Cousin Dicks, though he never told
