POETRY.
IFor the Press.]
Loves Qnest.


Love walks with weary feet the upward way,
Love without joy, and led by suffering.
Loves unkissed lips have now no song to sing;
Loves eyes are blind, and cannot see the day;
Love walks in utter darkness. And say,
90 Love, It's summer" or, "Behold the spring."
And Now 1t is the winter bleak and gray"
And still love heedeth not. 90 love-" I cry,
swift thou not rest? The path is over-steep."
Love answers not, but passeth all things by,
Nor will he stay for those who laugh or weep.
follow Love, who follows Grief; but 10,
Where the way ends not Love himself can know.

The Cairo correspondent Of the Cincin-
natl COMMERCIAL says, in regard to the
letter Of VIM. J. sykes of Memphis. pub
lished in the BULLETIN the 18th:
"The Southern narrow gauge railroad
that Col. Sykes. of Memphis. wants to
build. is to run parallel with the Mis,is-
sippi river, connecting Cairo. Memphis,
New Orleans and intermediate stations
together. The road j. q necessity. the Col
onel thinks, and although the enterprise
is rather on the gigantic or
der. and money little tight,
he thinks it entirely feasible. But other
people don't agree with him to any great
extent, at least in this neck of the woods,
and it Is pretty safe to say that II the en-
terprise. cannot succeed without subscrip-
tions from Cairo and this county il must
fail. A railroad running parallel with a
water course il n failure to begin with.
and only grows more so every day it eN-
ists."
Whilst Col. Sykes may and does con-
slider the project entirely feasible, he e,i.
IDENTIFY does not anticipate it,
early completion. He says ; "The
difficulty will be in getting
from Cairo to Memphis, because
there are already so many railroads ofa
different gauge in West Tennessee and the
ground seems to be fully occupied
This difficulty, however, is not. in his
opinion, insurmountable, since the adj
vantages Of the road below Memphis
would more than counterbalancc the diff
iiculties between Cairo and Memphis. Its
the opinion. we are informed, of some ofth
ablest civil engineers, who have thor
oughly studied the subject, that the best
plan for protecting the Mississippi bot
tom lands from overflow il by building a
railroad down the river. so that the rail-
road company may keep the lcvec in re-
pair, for the railroad embankmcnt may
be used as levee.
