FIRST BORN.
BY MARY ( BRADLEY.

Seventeen years of shine and sorrow,
Since the rosy light Of morn
Made the sweet June roses redder,
In the hour that you were born;
Hour that brought the flesh and spirit
Such an ecstacy Of pain
Such a rapture Of rejoicing.
As will never come again!
| remember how the tender
Rose OF morning flushed the gray,
How the sun with sudden splendor
Changed the dawning into day;
How the dappled clouds went sailing
All across the summer sky,
How the robins trilled and twitted-
When heard my baby cry!
Seventeen years. but l remember
Still the passionate delight
Of that radiant June morning,
After all the weary night.
Haply born to wom2n-nature,
1t may come to you to learn,
With your own child for teacher,
Such story in your turn.
If it ever does, my darling,
May the time be rosy June
May the robins trill and twitter
Such another happy tune.
And the child that God shall give you,
All ask is, it may be
Just the daily joy and comfort
That my frst-born is to me!

SOME Of the Ex-confederates be-
longing to Mahone's Brigade, who
had a reunion in Petersburg, Va,
last week, naturally wished to Wis
it "the crater" where some OF
their brave8t and most perilous
fighting was done. The result. Is
thus described by the Norfolk Viz
giniaI: "When nearing the IA
nous hole, the party was halted
by man who claims to own the
place, who threatened to -'blow
ont the brains of the first man
who trespassed upon his prem ises.
He was talking to men who had
been shot at and shot before, and
who did not relish such talk. The
consequences. to him, might have
been serious, had not a gentlemen
of the party, one Of our townsmen,
asked how much was to be paid
for stepping on the holy ground.
He was answered, twenty-five
cents for each person. which was
promptly paid, and the party pro-
ceeded without further molesta-
ton" This thrifty individual is
a Virginian, a native of Prince
George County.

be the very last to begrudge him whateve,

assertion that he has "msintained the cause
of the Republicans of Louisiana almost single
handed" in the Senate, his Louisiana COL
league, popularity known here as Sou West,
being acknowledged on all hands to be an
absolute Senatorial nonentity-but when the
Radical organ calls upon its party friends to
get up popular ovation in honor of the
Indiana Senator. and based exclusively upon
his bitter partisanship and vehement hostility
to the white people of Louisiana, all We have
to say in the matter is that Senator Mortons
political friends and admirers are, of course,
perfectly free to offer him whatever kind OF
reception he may choose to accept from them,
but We are equally free to say that, in our
opinion at least, the Indiana Senator would
follow more sensible, as we'll as more dig
nifed course, in not permitting what is said
to be pleasure excursion to be changed into
