LOUISVILLE LETTER,
LOUISVILLE, KY, March 3d.

LOUISVILLE, KY, March 3d,'7
The EXCHANGE, my favorite, is Il
constant and welcome visitor on each
Saturday of fevery week. It's columns
are always filled with the rarest of in
teresting information, and nothing
pleases me more than to peruse its
contents at an idle moment; these,
however are quite limited. One can
scarce appreciate Alright his home pa
per until he is deprived Of home and
home influence, friends and acquaiu>
tances; then any information of them
is pleasantly acknowledged.
l contemplated addressing you ere
this, but the demands upon me, made
by Il desire OF keeping pace with my
classmates and a careful digestion, as
near as possible, of everything said i'll
the lecture room, has thus far debarred
me of that long wished for opportuni-
ty. At last, however, this beautiful
Sunday morning, while the sun is i'm
parting to us his bright, majestic rays,
reminding lis Of the incoming days of
Il beautiful Spring time, peace and
happiness, let me now return thanks
and wish you Godsent speed.
With the night of Feb. 9th, pass
ed our closing scene Of the session of
~ and rs, and by it seventy-two of
the one hundred and eighty members
Of the class were awarded that for
which they have so MOLLY stood, and
have bid us sad farewell to reunite
the many friendly ties that exist be-
tween each, and his many dear and
loved ones at home! After many
months Of social working and toiling,
during which time ties Of love and
friendship were formed that will last
50 long as time Itself, well can we be
sad when We remember that
d" The earth is palace, o or r0ofs with blue.
With Il thousand lamps outShiuing;
But it, foOT IL paved with thousand graves,
And we know they lie In the sea F deep caves,
For forever the voice of its myrial waves
A.. h, III. lirva p,-tg
Yes. the earth Is a scpulchcr. vast aud grand,
And the name of its dead l. legion,
And the mountains. a their monuments stand,
The winds moan of them in deserts Of sand,
And the IN dniEht waves tell the lonely strand
Of graves in the sea and lands still region
Yes, well may we be sad when we
remember that ere we meet again,
many, very many, will have passed
from the arena and stage of action to
their quiet home. Many, whose
hopes, whose dreams, though once Of
mortal birth, may be winged beyond
the passing earth. Should we not
have a care, sigh and tear spon-
taneously springing up in our every
emotion as a result.
Ties of friendship are like the fick!e
cords Of lime, soon broken, and that
which once caused US to rejoice, make
us lament.
Or next session commences on to-
morrow and ends the last Of June,
which time | will hail with much JOY
for many reasons.
The Commercial interests of Louis
vile are being well guarded by her
exports, and a hattering prospect for
the future is hers.
Any of the merchants of Milan vis-
iting the city can have the pleasure,
if that it be. of seeing friend, by call
ing at 287 First ST., near Broadway,
who will be more than pleased to see
them at any time. VI.

GIBSON.
MARCH II. 1875

Business is not as active as the
tradesman would like. We look for
more prosperous times in the future.
All is activity and hustle with the
farmer. The hardness of the times
in part consequent upon the shortness
of the main money crop, together with
the small price, seems not have para
lyzed the energies Of the tiller of the
soil. Another strong effort is being
made to rise above poverty and misfor-
tune. Such determination persevered
in will be rewarded with success.
The angel of death has again visit
ed our circle, and removed from the

bowed down with sorrow, and three

and relatives to mourn her loss. Mrs
Hunt was kind and affechonate
wife, tender mother and a warm
