AValhncne no VIII be Left to
Tell the Tale2 s...
A stricken city! Alas, fair Men,
phis !! What sights meet the eye of
those who yet remain in your midst!
At every turn and corner cry OF
distress is waited on the breeze that
floats DER housotops, through your
streets and alleys. On overy sido
is met tho bowed form of some citi,
zen who has lost q relative or friend.
''Ehe river in n calu is hurried onward
Through channc Is Of despair"
Tho small burnt piles of bedding
that are seen on overy street but tell
the passor-by,-"A death has oc-
Cured here" These blackcncd
spots arc growing in number daily,
and yet there arc scores of brave
hearts who, remaining, bound Ly q
duty to their fellow"man, cannot but
,shudder i'll anticipating that perhaps
within the week tho bed on which
he throws himself to rest Tonight
will mark the street with it's burning
record Of sacrificed life During
the day there is hustle and confusion.
Doctors are hurryins by. The
hearse is met on every square. The
Howard visitor is seen in every in
habitod dwelling. The change of
this comes when night has thrown
its mantle Of darkness over all.
Then, only the rumbling of some
buggy over the stony street is heard;
or, some nurse sent in haste for O
physician to como and try to bring
back to life the dying patient, is
met as he speeds in search Of the
doctor or; the patrolman, rs he
walks his bent guarding tho store or
dwelling of some citizen who has
fled to escape the epidomic, is seen
by some Howard who his toiIcd late
in the night to succor the orphan
children Of dead parent. Each
day brings its changes. The form
that but yesterday was seen in the
full vigor of manhood, to-night lies
tossing upon bed, aching with
fever. The chair on WHICH Il dear
friend chatted whilo relating the
horrors of tho plague, scarcely
twenty -four hours since, is filed
not by him who had shown such Il
brave spirit the night beforc-no,
he is in his bed, stricken down, leav>
ing his friend to try and writo of
deaths doings, that is making such
a fearful record in tho history of
our city. Who will bo left to tell
the tale tomorrow
