ARRIVAL OF MIR. GREELEY.

Horace Greeley arrived ia this city yes
terday afternoon at about halfpast four
o'clock on the POntchartrain railroad train.
He left the train at the foot of Canal street,
where he was received by some of our lead
ing citizens, Auditor Graham, General
Longstreet, General Heron, and others.
In company with these gentlemen, he en-
tered a carriage and proceeded to the St
Charles Hotel, where he was welcomed by
a considerable number OF citizens. He
atterward, in company with Messrs. Gra-
ham and Longstreet and other gentlemen
took an airing in carriage to view pOr-
tion of the city. We understand that he
will make an excursion to the Lawrence
plantation, stopping at the Mexican Gulf
canal, this morning, and tomorrow evening
will visit the American Union Club.
Mr.. Greeley's personal appearance can be
readily imagined by anyone who has ever
seen one of the many portraits of him ex
tant. There was nothing of the eccentric
that has been attributed to him in his ap-
pearance. The traditional white garments
(coat and hat) were not there. He was
dressed in black frock coat, with broad
brimmed bronze colored hat, and has the
general appearance of genial-tempered,
benevolent old gentleman, with an express
sion of face indicating strong common
sense and vivid perception of the humor-
GUS
We learn that James A. Mckee, Mayor
of Galveston, has rendered Mr. Greeley the
hospitalities of that city, where he will
arrive on Friday next Captain Pegram. of
the steamer Howard, has invited Mr..
Greeley to make the return trip on board
his vessel to st. Louis.
OF course there are those among us who
dislike the political views of Mr.. Greeley,
and view his social theories with distaste,
| but no candid man can deny that he is both
firm and consistent, and that throughout
his long editorial career he has advocated
honestly and ably the cause of human
progress and amelioration. He may be
looked up to as model specimen of what
an American citizen should be, enterprising,
energetic and selfreliant beginning in
youth at the lowest round of fortune s
ladder, perseveringly ascending, gaining by
honest means step after step, and long
before the approach of old age achieving, by
his talents, a national reputation. We ad-
mire and respect Horace Greeley.

know each other too we'll to be entirely
reserved, and too little to be familiar.
Each assembfage round the family table
has its peculiar charm, and each may be
made feast.
The table is no place for stiff dignity.
or austerity. Biting bread and butter.
and taking soup from q spoon may be done
pleasantly and gracefully; but to infuse
dignity and stiffness in the operation is
inexcusably ridiculous. Hunger is q lev
eler, and eating and drinking is one Of
tho most delightful pleasures. No one
has right to disguise the innocent salts
faction of it at the family board, by the
affectation Of an exemption from so human
weakness as an appetite or disdaiu Of
the viands set before him. The pleasant
est family pictures are those cheerful din

ly. as though it did them good, and cloth,

A POEM.

The subjoined note. addressed to the
editors Of The San, with the accompany
ing poem, will perhaps excuse an explain
,atory word or two from US as we'll:
An esteemed fellow-citizen and friend
and gentleman of active benevolence. re-
Gently sustained one of the severest of do
mestic Affections. the loss of an only son.
AS the young parents stood bereaved and
despairing, as it were. constantly at the
door of the tomb which closed upon their
hope, they found at last solace and COM
fort in the exquisite poems of Mrs Brown.
ing. who has touchingly discoursed upon
the affections lacerated bySuch loss in
several of her productions With agrate-
full sense of relief. the father wrote to Mrs
Browning at Rome, briefly Stating the
fact, acknowledging the sweet and soothing
influence which had reached them from
one so far away. and incidentally men,
tioning their sole relic of the child, a curl
of golden hair; accompanying the letter,
with most fitting tribute to Mrs. Brown
ing's heart. contribution which she was
requested to bestow upon any deserving
charity, and which was opportunely ap-
propriated by her to suffering family IN
her immediate vicinity.
Mrs. Browning replied in a very kind
and sympathizing note, and though in the
receipt of numerous communications which
she is obliged to dispose of unresponsive-
ly, in this instance the theme was fruitful

merit. may be we'll supposed; but the cul-

with beauty, elegance. pathos and that in
intellectual vigor which so eminently char
acterizes the works of this distinguished
lady.-Eds. Sun.

received by me from the author. dated at

Knowing your own high appreciation
of Mrs Browning, and anxious that this
last great production of hers should be
generally read. enclose it to you for such
publication as you may deem proper.
Whilst consulting my own feelings in thus
gratifying others by its perusal. I am ad-
ditionaly induced to do so by the fact of
her knowledge and appreciation Of such ac-
ton. The memory Of an only son is dou-
bly, hallowed by the sympathy of such a
friend, and by this record of her own true
womanly goodness. J. H. S.

The Family Table.

OF all the familiar features of the fami-
ly there is none that possesses a greater
interest. or greater capacity of contri-
buting, to the household happiness than
the table. 1t is the prime uuiier-the
first and chief prompter of that unity
which makes the family the integer Of all
human organization. It wields more
than patriarchial authority. The fathers
com mands may be forgotten; the mothers
wishes thoughtlessly disregarded, but with
its white cloth is a power which is never
resisted or slighted.
The members Of the family may be scat
tered in different places-some at The
counting house, some at the workshop,
some in the forest, in pursuit Of pleasure
or prosecution Of duty. The magic of the
white cloth reaches them wherever they
are; and its mute invitation summons
them home. Aud even when the family
is shattered to fragments and scattered
over the whole earth-when each depart
ing member has become the head of a
different family, that unforgotten picture
of white cloth and the tea urn will still
assert its power, and gather the wander
ers from distant lands to joyous thanks
givings under the old roof tree.
The family board should be honored of
all, with joy, peace and love. 1t is a
shrine where churlishness. coldness. 81
leuce and frowns should have no place.
1t may be made thrice day the scene Of
festival richer and rarer than picnics in
wooded groves. or sumptuous feasts in
giided saloons. Its offerings may be fru-
gal and humble-but no matter; better
is its dinner of herbs. if favored with love
and spiced with vivacity. than the rich
courses Of grand hotel. where strange
hundreds swallow and gulp amid a clatter
of dishes, regardless of each others pres
ence-or the weary and monotonous meals
of the boarding house, where the people

ONLY A CURL.
BY ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING.

Friends of faces unknown, and land
Unvisited, over the sea-
Who tell me how lonely you stand,
With single gold curl in the hand,
Held up to be looked at by me:
Will you ask me to ponder, and say
What father and mother can do,
With the bright fellow locks put away
Out of reach beyond a kiss, in the clay,
Where the violets press nearer than you.
Shall | speak like poet, or run
Into weak woman's tears for relief?
Oh children-I never lost one;
But my arms round my own little son,
And love knows the secret of grief.
And feel what it must be, and is,
When God draws a new angel son
Through the house of man up to His,
With murmur of music you miss,
And rapture of light you forego.
How you think, staring on at the door
Where the face of your angel flashed in,
That its brightness, familiar before,
Burns off from you ever the more,
For the dark Of your sorrow and sin.
"God lent him and takes him." you sigh
Nay, let me break with your pain,
Gods generous in giving, say l,
And the thing which lie gives, deny
That he can ever take back again.
He gives what He gives-I appeal
To all who bear babes. In the hour
When the veil of the body we feel
Rent round US, while torments reveal
The Motherhood S advent in power.
And the babe cries-have all of US known
By apocalypse (God being there
Full in nature) the child is our own
Life of life, love of love, moan of moan,
Through all changes, all times, everywhere
He's ours aud forever. Believe, ye,-.--.s--.-.-s
oh, father oh, mother look back
To the first loves assurance: To give
Means with God, not to tempt, or deceive,
With cup thrust in Benjamin's sack.
He gives what he gives--be content!
He resumes nothing given-be sure!
God lend? Where the usurers lent
In his temple, indignant he went
And scourged away all those impure.
He lends not, but gives to the end,
AS he loves to the end. If it seem
That he draws back gift, comprehend
Tis to add to it rather-amend,
And finish it up to your dream.
Or keep-as mother may toys
Too costly, though given by herself
Till the room shall stiller from noise,
And the children more fit for such joys,
Kept over their heads on the shelf.
So look up, friends You, who indeed
Have possessed in your house sweet piece
Of the Heaven which men strive for, must neeG
Be more earnest than others are, speed
Where they loiter, persist where they cease
You know how one angel smiles there;
The courage. IT'S easy for you
To be drawn by single gold hair
Of that curl, from earth's storm and despair,
To the safe place above US. Adieu!
Rome, 1861.
