Who cares for nothing alone Is free
SIT down. good fellow and drink with me.
With a careless laugh and a merry eye
He will laugh at the world, as the world goes
by.
He laughs at power and wealth and fame;
He laughs at virtue, he laughs at shame;
He laughs at hope, he laughs at fear
At memory's dead leaves, crisp and sere;
He laughs at the future, cold and dim
Nor heaven nor earth is dear to him.
Oh, that Is the comrade fit for mel
He cares for nothing; his soul is free.
For heed not custom, creed nor Jaw;
care for nothing that ever / saw.

Sit down, good fellow; my heart is thine.
In every city my cups quaff
And over my liquors riot and laugh.

laugh at the church, 1 laugh at the grave;
laugh at JOY, 1 laugh at woe

terribly laugh with an oath and n sneer,
When think that the hour Of death is near.
For know that death is guest divine,
Who shall drink my blood as drink this
wine.
He cares for nothing-a king is he;
Come on, old fellow, and drink with me.
With you I'll drink to the solemn past,
Though the cup drain shall be my last.
I will drink to the phantoms of love and
truth,
To ruined manhood and wasted youth.
1 will drink TO the woman who wrought my
woe
In the diamond morn Of long ago;
To a heavenly face In sweet repose;
To the ily's snow and the blood of the rose;
To the splendor caught from the Orient skies
That thrilled in the dark of her hazel eyes
Her large eyes wild with the fire of the south
And the dewy wine Of her warm, red mouth
1 will drink to the shadow of coming doom;
To the phantems that wait on my lonely tomb
will drink to my soul in its terrible mood,
Divlnely and solemnly understood.
And, last of all, to the monarch Of sin;
He has conquered my palace-he reigns
within.
My song is passing; IL dies away.

Oakley Hall assures Mr.. Jennings, of the
New York World, that not soul but him
self knew of his intention OF going away,
and that ii was his wish to have il supposed
he had been killed, so that after the first SEN
sstion had died away no inquiries would be
made after him. Mr.. Jennings adds this
mystery: There is perhaps one person liv-
ing who may have had reason to suspect that
something curious was about to happen; but
he is not in New York. nor in London; and
it is only my conjecture that even he knew
much about II. Mr.. Hall will not look at
letter or newspaper" Mr.. Jennings was
obliged, the other day, to hold some commu
nication with him, in Difference to the
wishes of confidential friend of his in New
York. Mr.. Hall made no pretense of mys-
terry or concealment, but declined to open
any communication with America.
