THE YELLOW FEvEE.-There is a
lamentable increase of the fever at
Memphis. The distress and suffering
N the stricken city almost exceed be-
lief. The most prominent men of the
town, the good, the brave, the enter
prlsing, are dying constantly, and it
would almost seem as if Dea tn
had marked out the best for his own.
Meanwhile, those who are left &c
bravely on with the work of suceor
and relief, until rerchance, their turn
shall have come. There has rarely
ever been SO widespread an exhibit
ton of quiet heroism and fortitude as
is now seen daily throughout the
South.
--latest reports indicate that the fe-
yer is abating.
ADOPTION OF AN IMPORTANT RULE
OF CoURT.-In order to obyiate the
delay and confusion incident to the
ascertainment and settlement of costs
as required BY the act of 1867, chap
ter l64, in regard to appeals from JUS
tees Of the peace after the case is call
ed for trial, the Court has adopted the
following rule:
That hereafter unless it shall satisfacto-
rally appear to the Court, when the case
is reached and called for trial, that unless all
costs incurred before the justice OF the peace
shall have been paid by appellant before
the said case is SO called, the same shall
stand affirmed

We had passed Baltimore, ant

Selefted Misfellauy,
YOUNG HENRY CLAY.

1t was near the setting of the sun,
when the men Of Palo Alto, Resaca de
la Palma and Montery saw the clouds
come down on the charge Of Buena
Vista, that splendid scene, worthy of
the days of Washington, closed the day
in glory. s
DO you behold that dark ravino, deep
sunken between those propitious banks?
Here no sunlight comes, for the walls of
rock wrap up the pass in eternal twilight
granite, and scattered stone make the
bed of the ravine uncertain, and difficult
for the tread
Hark That cry, that rushes like o
mountain torrent bursting its barriers,
and quick as the lightning flashes from
darkness, the dismal ravine is bathed in
battle light. From its northern extremity
a confused band of Mexicans, an army
in itself, came yelling along the pass
treadiDg one another down as they fly !;
their banners, spears, horses and men
tossed together in an inextricable con-
fusion.
By thousands they rush into the shadow
Of the pass, their dark faces Redeemed
with the heated blaze of musketry. The
caverns of the ravino send back the roar
Of the panic, and the gray rocks are
washed with their blood.
But the little band who pursues this
army-who are they? You may sec in
their firm, heroic ranks the volunteer
costume of Illinois and Kentucky. At
their head, urging his men with shouts,
rides the gallant Mckee; by his side
young Henry Clay, that broad forehead
which reminds you of his father, bathed
in the glare, as his sword quivers on
high ere it falls to kill. There, too, a
wild figure, red with his own blood and
the blood Of his Mexican foes, his uni
form rent in tatters, bis shoulders strik-
ing terrible blows with his good sword
Hardin, Of Illinois-came CALAMITY for
ward.
The small but iron band hurl the Next
cans from the height in the ravine, and
follow up the chase far down into the
eternal twilight Of that mountain pass.
Look As their muskctry streams its
steady blaze, you would think that
ceaseless sheet Of lightning bathed these
rocks in flames
Over the Mexicans, men and horses
hurried back in mad dsorder--the Amer
leans dash on their way, never needing
the overwhelming numbers of their foes,
never needing the palpitating forms be-
meath their feet, with bayonet and sword
they press steadily on, their well-known
banner ever streaming overhead.
The howl of the dying war-borsc---
bark Docs it not chill your heart TO
hear it The horrible cry of the wound
ed man, with the horses hoof upon bis
mouth. trampling bis face 10 a hidcous
wreck-docs it not sickcn your soul to
hear il?
A hundred yards or more the Ameri-
cans had penetrated, when suddenly a
young Mexican rushing back opens their
ranks, raises the fallen flag Of Anahuac
and dashes 10 death.
10 sec him, young and bcardlcss,
very boy, rush, with his country's flag
with barred breast upon that line Of

The Forests.

Under such heavy yearly drian, the
question naturally comes up, how long
will our forests hold out at the present
rate of manufacture 4? 1t is really an inn
portant question upon which follows the
inquiry as to what we are to do for build
ing material when this magnificent wood
is exhausted. One authority after another
has entered formally upon its solution
with satisfactory results in local instances,
but very vague ones as to the field at
large. At the rate we are cutting it to-
day from thirty to fifty years seem 10 DO
agreed upon as the limit. Twenty years
ago there was apparently no limit, for
the consumption was not only less, but
the means for its manufacture were
primitive, and accomplished very much
smaller results than now. It seems as
if it were impossible to further improve
the machinery Of saw mills. but the
near future may for all that see saving
machinery in comparison to which that
of the present day will be contemplate.
So. although twenty years ago there
was no seeing the end of the timber.
now, with the modern mills and myriads
of them, we are beginning to calculate
with dire certainty as to the time when
"the wooden age" will be thing Of tho
past.

MEMORY'S ANGELS.

When the crystal heights Of silence
Are with starry splendors crowned,
And the nights stupendous shadow
Wraps the Dreaming World around,
Thro' the purple gates of twilight,
Flushed with sunsets dying gov,
10 the Days departing footsteps
Silent Angels come and go
Unforgotten deeds of kindness,
Gentle words that lightened care,
Clasping hands and CHEEKY greeting
That have blest us unaware;
Hopes, whose rainbow light of promise
From unclouded either shed,
Arched our morning dreams with splendor,
In the spring times that are dead
Love that lured us with the vision
OF nobler life than this
Where the Souls incarnate Ideal
Dwelt in Apotheosis:
Faiths--long canceled-that were plighted
To the friends Of other years,
Touch the sealed springs of feeling,
And unlock the fount of tears
In the silence, FACILITATING
With the sense of unseen things,
We can feel their phantom touches
Hear the measured sweep of wings
Catch the fleeing, shadowy fragrance
OF unearthly roses, shed
BY the fair, unfading garlands
Wreathed about each shining head
In our souls some sleeping sorrow
Wakes to throbbing life again;
Smouldering griefs to keener passion
Leap beneath their touch of pain;
Lost delghts-unstabe pleasures
Dreams that died and made no sigh
Shadowy ghosts of joy departed,
Our departing hearts divine
Now they feel the fruitless longing
OF unseeping Memory,
For the loved yet banished faces
We no more on earth shall see;
Or, with tender hands they lead Us
Back by pleasant paths of yore
To the lowly grass-grown threshold
Weary feet shall pass no more

TRUTHFUL TRIPLEs.--Great things are
not accomplished by idle dreams, but by
years of patient study.
Judge not from appearance lest you
might err in your judgment.
Some of the grandest things which
have been achieved were by those whom
we thought were our interiors.
Marrow not your mind to your own
selfshness, but give it broad field for
your fellow-men to work in.
Study all things of nature in your
daily walk through life.
Do as your conscience dictates and
you will not go far estray.
Be respectful to all men that you may
command respect.
Kind words are better than gold, and
the voice of friend has saved many
man from ruin.
Many kind hearts beat beneath SEEM
ing cold cxteriors.
Be happy if you can. but DO not des-
pise those that are otherwise, for you
know not their troubles.
