ton of the action of this gentleman has yet

cause; but it is fairer to assume that the
gallant Major felt that his retirement was
forced by the disorderly conduct Of the

Major Leech is held in New Orleans il

and are sent to the Dead Letter Office,
Washington, to meet the fate of dead matter.
Fifty-three packages were sent to the dead

a LOST HOUR.

A golden hour on summer morn,
When half the world was still;
The dew was fresh on the new mown hay,
And the bridal vail of the fair young day
Hung over the purple hill.
The sheep bells tinkled across the slopes,
Sweet as elfn chime;
Butterflies fitted athwart the down,
Bees went murmuring, busy and brown,
Over the fragrant thyme.
A lsnguid calm and dull content,
Silence instead of speech
The wind sighed low, and the lark sang high,
But the golden hours Ut our lives went by,
And drifted out Of reach.
We both went back to an eager life;
But in its pause to-day
The CLEAN of that golden hour returns,
And my jaded spirit frets and yearns
For one chance swept away.
The years creep on, and the heart grows tired
Even of hopes fulfilled;
And turns away from the worlds strong wine,
With fevered lips that must ever pine
For that pure draught we spilled.
And yet perchance when our long day wanes
(Age hath its joys late born;
We shall meet again on the green hill side,
And find, in the solemn eventide,
The hour we lost at morn.
Good Words

DEATH OF AN OLD New ORLEANS MER-
CHANr.-The New York Times, of the 9Th
inst, thus announces the death of an old
time merchant Of this city:
Peter Fort, formerly prominent merchant
OF New Orleans, died on the I'd inst. at Auro-
"a, Cayuga Lake, in this State. at the age of
ninety-two years. Mr.. Fort was native of
Poughkeepsie, and when quite young entered
merchants office in New York, where he
distinguished himself by his aptitude for
business. He subsequently went to New Or
leans, and in the course of few years by his
industry and perseverance became one of the
most wealthy and esteemed merchants of that
city. He was one of Gen. Jackson's aids
during the latter's defense of New Orleans.
For the last fort years he has resided at Au-
rora, where he was held in high esteem by all
who knew him for his many endearing quail
ties
