series of preludes to that unknown song
whose initial solemn note is tolled by death!
The enchanted dawn of every life is love !;
but where is the destiny on whose first de-
licious joys some storm breaks not-some
storm whose deadly blast disperses youth
illusions, whose fatal bolt consumes its
altar And what soul thus cruelty bruised,
when the tempest rolls away, seeks not to
rest it's memories in the pleasant calm Of
rural lifel Yet man allows himself not
long to taste the kindly quiet which at
tracted him to natures lap, but when the
trumpet the signal gives, he runs to dan
gers post whatever be tie fight which calls
him to its lists, that in the strife he may
once moro regain full knowledge of him

ON CARONDELET STREET.

The cotton business has again been eX-
cited by an active movement during two
days, and it is the general opinion prices
have assembled about a quarter. OF course,
the oracle has spoken again, and its sounds
are construed into the pronunciation OF a
greater demand for the staple. The sales
mounted up to high figure, and it is even
estimated 5000 bales have been sold, few OF
which were disposed Of at Saturdays tg-
ures.
Warrants seem to have stopped still, and
are not inclined to go above -.
City certificates are unchanged.
There is nothing new in gold.
Domestic exchange has ceased to inspire
undue attention, as it is steady every day.
Foreign exchange has remarkable firm
ness amid many influences which tend to
give it irregularity and an unsettled condi-
ton.
There is decided improvement in Lot
terry stock, which sold yesterday at $40, as
100 shares were negotiated at this rate. 1t
is really unaccountable to determine the
cause Of this inferior price, when it sold
last year at $50 The decisions of the Su-
preme Court have settled the case and
affirmed all matters that brought in ques-
ton the constitutionality or the informality
of the law against every objection. Be-
sides, reserved fund Of $4,000 was set
aside from the earnings with which to I'M
prove the working of the company; SO it is
difficult to know what are the causes which
reduce the stock to SO low a figure as $40.
Levee stock has lately felt a slight SEN
sation. This is rise, the ordinary stock
being now quoted from 50 s7la "A, the
leaning being more toward the latter than
the former The preferred is that stock
on which 81 so share is already paid, yet
this is not worth 81 so more than the ordi-
nary, on which there is nothing paid, which
may be owing to the fact that the latter
kinds of stock are more in demand.
There were no sales at the Board of
Brokers last evening The offerings and

Varieties Theatre" Divorce:

Other engagements prevented our attend
ance at the Varieties Theatre on the first
night. Days new sensational drama was
produced, but we are informed the house
was full, as it was again last night, on the
occasion of its second representation. Di-
vorce'' will rank as a sensation, though it
has many features that entitle it to The char
acter Of good comedy. The plot is tolera-
bly, well planned and the weavings in are,
probably, better done than in Leah,
Under the Gaslight," q" Frou-Frou" and
some of the other successful plays by the
same playwright The story may be eplto-
mized about thus:
a fashionable, matchmaking mother,
with an eye rather to wealth and position
than to the happiness of her daughters,
succeeds in marrying them of" to two
rich men, and then sits down to see and
help them enjoy their happiness. But as
Fanny Miss Davenport is not at all in love
with her impulsive, jealous spouse, Adrianse,
and as Louise, the other daughter Miss
Gordon, marries rich old widower, De
Witt, who is uncomfortably fond OF his
wife, things do not 60 on at all smoothly
These two ill-mated wives, with a niece
who has a mind of her own, lead the old
lady, Mrs. Ten Eycke Miss Burnsl, an anx-
ious and unhappy life until the final denoue-
ment, when all are dismissed with as much
happiness as they deserve, except, perhaps
Louise and her aged husband, Dewitt, who
find out, just as they are about to rush into
each others arms in true stage fashion,
that an "eminent legal light" has sue
eeeded in divorcing them. Their raptures
are necessarily postponed for the time
being, but the hope remains in the mind Of
the audience that the little legal impedi-
ment can be removed by applying to the
parson. Miss Davenport George Clarke,
Mr.. Ryer, Misses Burns and Gordon have
good places in the play, and show to good
advantage.

ii MUTToN.-For six long weeks in the short
month of February did Henry Joseph hun
