Another Crusade For Mrs. Stowe.

\ Young man claiming to be son
of Lord Byron has appeared in New
Orleans. lie calls himself Captain
George Gordon DcLuna Byron is
about torty-fve or fifty years OF
age, rather below the medium size
and hasa German look and accent,
though he speaks English rcmarka-
bly, well. His story is, that his
mother, wkesc family name was
DcLuna, was Of Spanish and noble
blood and that the poet was clan
destinely married to her, while
travelling beyond the Pyrenecs.
\ good many men born on the con
'tinent at the proper time mis'Ii
have reasons for supposing them
selves to be Byron's sons; the NOR
al latitude which the bard ever
gave himself would render the hy-
pothesis at least plausible but
that he could have been secretly
married TO Il feminine representa-
tive Of an illustrious line, whom no.
body ever heard of, is altogether
improbable. Captain Byron seems,
however, to believe dis own story
perhaps hc has become convinced
of it by telling ii so often and re-
lates it with such circumstantiaIity
Of detail as to make it interesting.
He does not appear to be II swlndlcr
or a ,rickster oiany sort, bat quiet
good natured person, who is IL we
tim ofa deep dclusion.
He obtained a commission early
in the war, with the expectation
and promise OF serving on General
Frcmont's staff, in the Southwest !;
but he never saw amy service, and
WAS soon mustered out; and has
since wandered over this country
and Europe, engaged in the lauda-
hle undertaking Of earning his own
bread. lie talks Of certain suits
that have been brought, or are to
hc brought, in his name, against the
Byron estate.

ESJoYMENT OF LIrr.-It j. sin.
gular to what IN extent people
helieve happiness depends on not
being obliged TO work. Girls are
considered we'll married if thei,
husbands are wealthy, and boys
well provided for if enough can be
lett them for support, and enough
surplus left them to play business
with. Bosh. Honest, hearty, con.
tented labor is the only sources oI
happiness, as well AS II guarantee OF
life. The gloom of mi>anthrophy
is not onl y Il great destroyer of Tia,
happiness we might have, but it
tends To destroy life itself. Idle
ness and luxury induce premature
decay much faster than man,
trades regarded as the most ex.
haustivo and fatal to longevity.
Labor in general; instead of short
tning the term of life actually in.
crcasesIt. 1t Is the lack of occupa
ton that actually destroys SO many
of the wealthy. Who have nothing
to do but play the part of droncs
and like them, make Il speedy exit
while the busy bee lives out its day
of usefulness and honor.
