The friends who greeted us in spring,
When summer flowers are blown,
Forsake us with q careless wing,
As all the cold have flown.
But thou dost come, like some kind ray
That warns the violet
To blossom on frosty day,
When other friends bet.
Or like yon glow-worm on the green,
Whose unpretending spark,
As long as daylight shines, unseen
He only lights the dark;
Thy smile, whose light may seem to be,
These brighter days, grown dim,
In winters dark adversely
Hath cheered our path, like him.
It's vanished now-like some bright star
Which burns q moment here,
Ard sweeps its glittering train afar,
To gid different sphere.
Bat oh! We cannot thus forget
Each heart where Memory
Has dropped seed, will blossom yet,
And bear sweet thoughts of thee.

1t strikes us that there must be power some

time for us to adopt this rational and impera-

negligence or the criminal recklessness to
which SO many dreadful accidents may be
traced, and thousands of precious lives would
be annually saved if the State would only

PosA las they ener)-Wi" you not hear me even ?
EBoL1- Wherefore speak?
Thou canst not move my heart, saving to pity;
Canst give myself but pain and disappoint-
ment.
Why then still plead when thou dost know tits
vain :?
PosA-Becsuse love and love is truly blind,
Even to old dangers bent On new success!
When went hence with Carlos for his bride
elect,
Whom Philip seeing, took as his own wife
was too glad, perhaps, to be away from thee
For could not endare to see thee still
By all adored, the idol of the court,
And know my worship gained me but a frown
The while court 6atterers obtained thy emiles.
Absence, methought, from where the infection
lay,
Would soonest cure my malsdy. Vain thought.
Already did dream my folly past,
When Carlos met his tride.
Strangers they were. twas true, but twas de-
creed
That they should wed. And when 1 saw the
prince
Kneel and salute her hand with but one kiss,
held it but tribute duly paid
But, when as oft he held her hand in his,
marked how her hearts blood fast came and
WENT
Playing at hide and seek upon her cheeks;
Marked. how upon her lips the words she
spoke
Tremblingly hung, and how when Carlos spoke
She held attention to his speech alone,
While all around were beggared Of her ears :!
Marked ever, how the smile that cheered her
brow
Came when he came, and went upon his going;
Marked, Princess Eboli, how love still grew
Each day more strong between these twain
Who had been strangers all their lives till now
Then in my memory there rose vision
OF t,eo! One loved, yet loving not! The
other,
Though loving long, yet still unloved!
envied then my princes happiness,
And envy fed anew my dying hopes!
Babe me again seek you, and at your feet.
Here kneellng, once again renew my suit.
Oh let me not plead in vain, but let thy smile.
Like spring sun, beam on the passion flower
Which droopeth here. and from = weary winter
Waken it to new life! Oh bid me pluck
From heaven tho fairest gem of night, to
wearit
Where still with heavenly beauty it shall shine,
The pride, the envy Of the world! Oh, speak
'BoI1-Ma.,quis, I can not.

THE NEW THIRD DISTRICT
WHARF.
A Pleasant Visit.

1nasmuch as the city has admitted its inability
to keep the wharves in proper repair, not having
the cash to expend fer such purpose, the privi-
lege was granted Messrs. Ocean, Zerega & Co.,
Messrs. A. K. Miller l. Co. and Col. j. c. Denis.
President Of the Levee Steam Cotton Press, to
rebuild the wharf assigned to the Liverpool
Southern Steamship Company, the conditions
being that the said parties should advance a GER
tain proportion Of the money required, to be re-
paid out of wharfage dues collected, the balance
to be paid by the city, the contractors agreeing
to await the citys pleasure in payment of that
balance.
In accordance with the above facts, the con-
tract was given to Messrs. Eagar, Ellerman l.
Co., who have finished q substantial wharf of
nine hundred feet in length and seventy five feet
in width in the short space Of six weeks. The
wharf cost $1,000, $1,000 of which was advanced
by the gentlemen above mentioned, and tho bal
ance by the contractors in the amount of work
they did. The entire wharf is built Of seasoned
pine lumber, containing $50 coo feet of 3x12 floor
ing and $4,000 feet Of running timber This
wharf is now one of the finest in the city, and
has capacity to accommodate six or seven ships
at one time.
The gentlemen interested in the wharf yester-
day invited several gentlemen and members Of
the press to visit the wharf After the examine
ton of the wharf the invited guests were invited
to the Levee Steam Cotton Press by the gentle
men, where Dry Monopole, wit and humor
flowed freely. Col. j. G. Denis presided in the

THE LATE FIRE.

Since the terrific explosion of the Louisi-
ana some twenty years ago, and the sinking
of the Empire Parish with nearly all on
board at the steamboat landing, q more
power of the fre-fend has not been given in
this city than the sad, the narrowing specta-
Gle witnessed Friday by thousands of people
who were powerless to help their dyi0 fel-
low-beings. As generally happens, when
ever the public mind is strongly moved,
. good deal of indignation is felt and freely
expressed against the parties whose careless
ness or want of presence of mind are pre-
sumed to have caused so much destruction of
human life, nor have we been behind
hand in dealing out censure wher-
ever we thought it was deserved. But
Is it often happens, unintentional injustice
has perhaps been done, and unmerited OBJ
loquy been cast upon innocent parties. Thus.
in the present case, while certain parties are
severely blamed for their supposed want of
humanity in refusing to run very slight
risk to save the lives Of the victims. many Of
the men who labor under this heavy charge
emphatically repel it as totally unfouaded.
and assert with apparent sincerity that thew
did their whole duty in the premises. The
responsibility for setting the boats adrift is
also placed upon the shoulders of various
persons, and there is much difference Of
opinion as to the propriety Of such course.
It seems to us that the interest, not only Of
the parties whose reputation is at stake, but
also of the entire community, requires that a
thorough investigation Of the whole subject
should be made. Let the Chamber of Com
merce, OF some other equally representative
body, appoint committee Of intelligent and
well known citizens, before whom all who can
give accurate information as to the origin and
the incidents Of this disastrous occurrence
would be requested 10 appear, and who wonld
publish the result of their investigation and

POLITICAL On DIT.
The senate This Morning.

I
| The floor Of the Senate presented bus
appearance yesterday ON the opening 9
that body. Those who had in charge tn
pushing through measures of importance wer
flying about urging the speedy passage Of thei
favorite bills. As the Senate was to adjourn
the time was limited for their labor, and the
improved the two shining hours left. Tn
reading of the funding bill took up considera
bic time, and it was listened to with grea
attention.
The Impeachment Of CT nt0n.
Clinton has whipped the fight" and ii
now master of the situation. comparison
between the first vote and the last vote OF
the business will show some curious changes
and as Senator Allan said, "there is some
thing rotten in Denmark"
There are many reasons assigned for tn,
action of the Senate. Clinton's money ani
ability to accommodate is one, and another il
that there has been an understanding between
Clinton and his opponents in his own party
and that the Senate committee to investigate
his books, is party to the agreement.
There is another report to the effect tina,
Kellogg used his influence, that Kellogg
would have been happy to get rid of Clinton,
but that he did not dare to take stand
affainst him. Clinton knows too much.
Whatever the reason, the Senate CERTAINLY
failed in its duty to the people.
There is q determined movement by citi-
zens to have the Grand Jury investigate the
charges preferred by the House Committee
to draw up articles of impeachment, and there
is just chance that Clinton will have the in
vestigation by unbiased persons for which he
pleaded.
The Firemen's Bill.
At the late session of the Legislature there
was passed a bill that will no doub. put a
stop to false alarms of fire.
The bill was drawn up by Chief Engineer
Tom O'Connor, and introduced in the House
IF Representatives by Mr.. Seaman, Of Orleans.
It makes the turning in Of false alarm a
penal offense, and fixes penalty Of fine of
one hundred dollars and Imprisonment in
lie Penitentiary for not less than one or more
han two years. ..
It also provides penalty for the holding of
zeys by unauthorized persons, and this pen
