doubtless seen many of the shady sides OF
matrinony, grinds out the following:
If independence you'd enjoy,
And peacefully your years employ
Possessing all contentment gives,
The happiest mortal that here lives,
Avoid, avoid the hand of fate,
If guide you toward the nuptial state.
Be not husband, be not wife,
But enjoy the peace OF single life;
In it there's JOY, in it there's rest,
And those now in i thus attest;
No one to fear or to obey,
Who could refuse to live that way?
Tito study you're now inclined.
Nobody's near to divert your mind;
If to music you give much attention,
No one Of sewing Oh buttons makes men
ton;
IF on visit to friends you go,
You'll not be DISTRACTED by babies, Know.
The celebration OF the fifteenth amend.
ment took up the attention Of our citizens
so generally yesterday that the school ques-
ton was thrown completely into the back
ground. This was also owing to the fact
that it was generally understood the old
School Board had squelched or caved ill.,
This produced such degree OF pubic de-
light and satisfaction rs to render the pub
lie mind entirely tranquil and quiescent on
the subject. The teachers nearly or all
completed their reports for the month OF
April to Superintendent Carter yesterday.

WASHES New FURNISHING GooDs.-The
amount of taste displayed by MIR. B. T.
Walshe, No 10 Canal street, in the selec-
ton of his spring stock this season, has been
matter of considerable comment among
the habitues of Canal street during the past
week. Such beautiful cravats ard ties,
splendid undergarments, gloves, handker-
chiefs, etc., rarely has been seen on this
side of the Atlantic, while lis prices are SO
reasonable that those splendid goods are
placed within the reach of every one. Be-
sides the above named goods, Mr.. Walshe
has also a general assortment OF seasonabie
goods for children, which parents would DO
we'll to go and inspect. Mr. Walshe be
lieves in quick sales aud small profits. His
goods are always as stylish as any 70 be
found IN the country, and having been
manufactured expressly for his sales, are re.
liable in every respect. Go and look at
them.

We copy the following from the Madison
Journal:
We are informed that Mr.. Kennedy has
commenced work Oh the levee from New
Carthage to the Dahlia plantation, on the
south side of Bayou Vidal. The effect OF
this levee will be to back the water Oh the
plantations above and on Roundaway
bayou. It is possible that some little ad.
vantage to one or two plantations in Tensas
parish may be gained oy the construction
of this levee, but not sufficient to compen-
safe the injury which will be done IN Madl-
son.
The President of the Police Jury should
take immediate steps TO protect his parish
from the threatened injury. AS we have
stated before, this work was attempted by
the parish of Tensas several weeks ago, and
was eDioined by our courts. 1t is surprising
to US that any engineer in the service of
the State, could be found to recommend this
work.

According to the Union, Houston is in a
high state OF prosperity. That paper says:
What does it mean The trade in real
estate in Houston has become unusually
brisk OF late. Much property is changing
hands, and at prices forty and fifty per cent
higher than heretofore. One place offered
at Sl70O had suddenly Jumped up to 5000
when purchaser appeared. Another place,
one half OF it sold for SLIGO short time
since, and now $4,000 is asked for the re-
mainder. Vacant lots that sold last year
for $50 are now going at $3.50 and $500. 4
lot on Main street, with worthless build ings
sold day or two since, we are told, for
$1,000.
We saw yesterday well-known capitalist
of Galveston looking round to buy some
Houston property. Several other Calves
tonians, Of whom we are aware have bought,
or are about to buy real estate in Houston.
What does it mean? 1t means the Ship
Canal, the New Orleans railroad, the Great
Northern railroad, the Central railroad, the
International, the half dozen taps" the
Pacific. 1t also means the Houston Unlon.

From these figures it may be seen that the En-
piish people will be seriously inconvenienceG from
this embargo.
The recent experiments in England IN the
construction of railroads with very narrow
gauges, and carrying much smaller cars, have
created almost revolution In the accepted ideas
on this subject. These roads can be run over
grades too difficult for the ordinary gauge, and at
an expense which is trihing in comparison, ooth
as respects the original construction anu the cost
or malt tenance. The effect OF this new system
will be to open up railway Communication TO
MANY districts not now accessible to the ordinary
roads, and greatly to augment the present 1aciil
Ties of travel and transportation. 1t may be
doubted whether any county or ne!Shoorhoou
possessing an average degree Of wealth and pop
ulation is TOO poor to avail itself of the new means
of communication. According to recent
letter to the Railroad anu ta.afhS Register,
written By Mr. d'AliSny, New 1orK ell.
ginecr, company is now organizing lof
the express purpose OF building on con-
tract, on this principle, roads and branch roads
especially to connect mining or manufacturing
districts with main-trunk roads The report for
1860 of the Festining road, built on this plan,
states that the net revenue for last year was slo
$50, and the capital Of the company only G3s,lS5.
Mr.. d'Algny says: "The economy OF the con-
struction and equipment OF narrow.gauge road,
two feet and six inches, Is immense, when conf
pared with the cost Of O road four feet eight ana
a half inches. For single track it is so per cent
over an ordinary fiat country, but in the noun
tainous or mining districts the proportion IN
crease to Is per cent. and more. In fact, mar
row gauge roaa can be established, and will prove
paying concern, in countries so rough that no
attempt Would ever be made TO construct road
of the usual gauge. Narrow-gauge roads viii ac'
complish revolution in the railroad system OF
the United States"
