to Turn out sweet melodies. but the first

looking man about fifty years Old, having
a game leg and a general forlora look,

of the truest and nobiest gentleman the
South has ever seen. But for all his bril-
liant talents, and the promise of a splendid
future, he died the victim of woman's per-
fidy.
The youngest sister became the wife OF
Bienvenue,a young broker OF New Orleans.
Rich, beautiful and accomplished, she was
at once leader in society. Courted, flat>

into the vortex that had engulfed her sis

men hated and smiled upon her. What
cared she? beautiful, reckless, heartIess
and indifferent to all alike, she cared only
for that social admiration which was the
sunshine of her life. Her large fortune
gave her an income in her individual right.
This gave wings to her extravagance and
enabled her to contract bills in her own
name. One. of them--a milliner's bill
was over due, suit was brought and an ex-
eeution ISSUED which Mr.. Phillips, the
lawyer, had levied for satisfaction upon
her carriage and horses. In an interview

1t is doubtful If an event so startling
had shocked society for many day. The
thread of the strange lives these sisters
led, came suddenly into view, and men
thought OF it with awe and wonder.
What fatality was in their destiny: Yet
they do not mind it. Thrown by the
perversities of their fortunes out of the
pale Of the society they once honored and
adorned, they drifted with the ebb Of the
retreating social waves among the reefs
sand breakers OF the city, and now like
social drift weeds are cast and tossed

And still mindful people turns
To such as wear their crosses,
Beneath a way Of waving ferns
Ard interviewer moses.
And still, with knots and crates of bloom
With soonest blowing roses,
They come to break the night of gloom
That DER the hero closes.
And still, by fingers def from love,
The wild-vine's tendrils matted
In tribate wreaths and crowns are woye,
And Iissom garlands plated:
And still, the new-strewn immOrtelles
Of memory are saying,
As tender-fresh as if the bells
A dying chime were playing.
And years have been, and years may be,
And still shall gather yearly
The fettered soul beside the free
The dead they love SO dearly.
And still shall freshest garlands fall
From loving hands in showers,
Der fragments of the crumbled wall
That closed the Land of Flowers.
Here sleep the brave, the good, the true,
The trusting and the daring;
The great, that in their living grew
The laurels they are wearing.
The battle-stains are on their breasts,
The battle currents clOtted-
An index on the outer vests
ofinner men unspotted.
An hundred mounds are circled near,
An hundred heroes under;
An hundred knights that meier shall hear
Again the battles thunder.
But DER the turf in dropping fold,
With broken staff, banner
Shall keep their knightly proves told
In true chivalric manner.
Among the mounds are some whose name!
Upon the stones ire missing
Who fell in front too soon for flames
As for their mothers kissing.
The brave unknown" in martial pride
Is honored here and knighted;
We only know a hero died
A soldiers home was blighted.
Be still, sad bells! Where Hanson lies
Ten thousand tongues are telling;
The wailing of people.ri rise
Beyond an iron knelling.
What need to wake mournful tone
Upon an anthem organ,
Whilst broken rests the sword that shone
Above the plume of Morgan?
What founts Kentucky starts for one,
or al her dead the newest;
For Breckinridge-her peerless son,
Here proudest and her truest.
There shrouded lies her latest gift
To God, and Fame, and Story,
Whose going lef: golden rift
Upon the skies of glory.
1t may not be that in our day
Yen blighted land viii blossom
The land for which their coats of gray
Grew crimson on the bosom;
But time will come at last for all,
When from these mounds Of ours
The Master hand shall build the wall
That closed the Land of Flowers.
