So murmuripg, he quilted the room,

The emperor was conversing with a
lady attired in mourning, whose expressive

''There must be some connection be-

refusal Just now to sign?'' said the emper.
or. 'Follow me. countess" he added,
hastily.
Trembling, tbs countess followed the
emperor into the salon in which Alcidor
was singing. He did not observe their
entrance. Napoleon, taking the countess
by the hand, stepped up behind Alcidor,
and with a wave OF his hand motioned al
the listeners back.
| When all had quilted the apartment,
he said, leaning over Aloidor's shoulder,
You did not finish your sentence earlier
in the evening. That song you are now
singing you said you would sing again

in his eyes. His glance met that OF
the trembling, happy countess: and he
forgot to reply to the emperor.

ed on the ripping waters, and as they
trickled on their way, their sweet MUIR
muir was heard, deeply impressive with
the stiffness of the hour. There was
solemn beauty about the surrounding
scenes, which served to call forth the no.
blest, the most philanthropic feelings of
man. A sentiment of sorrow and regret
seemed to prevail that the meeting had
taken place-but it was then too late The
barrels of their weapons gl:stened in the
silver light, and in a few moments they
were to risk their chance of being hurried
into eternity, while one gave the other,
or received from him, satisfaction for lis
wounded honor.
They had been placed at the distance,
when Lieutenant r. walked off at dis
lance midway between them, and said:
"Genulemen, are you ready?"
YES" was the response Of both.
At the next word, which each thought
was big with the fate of one or both Of
them, to their surprise, the voice of
Lieutenant R. was heard ringing on the
air:
Advance fifteen paces."
They accordingly advanced until they

their hands one to the other.

whoever dares to question it must be
responsible to me. Gentlemen, you are
friends, mount your horses"
The two parties again grasped each
others band, and, with look of gratitude
to their mutual friend, mounted, and
rode with him to his tent. The night
ended in scene of Joy and revelry, which
twiDed their hearts together forever
The memory Of Lieutenant R., who
shortly afterward fell at Monterey, and

Faith, Hope and Charity.
FAITH.

Faith is the violet OF the soul,
Its fragrnce soothes the human breast,
In adversity's hour it giveth rest,
Without it there is no self-control.
The solemn nun counting DER he beads,
The poor man struggling in the days of yout
When e'er on earth there are human needs,
It nerves to deeds of virtue and of truth.
1t is solace in the dying hour,
When the whole worlds glorics fade from vie
A secret. silent, potent power,
That helps us on in whatsoever we do.
O! give us faith when dark clouds lower,
That we may not, Father, turn from you.
HoPS.
Hope is the very brightest flower
That blooms our paths along;
And, like SIRENS song,
1t lends charm to the darkest hour.
From youth to age, from life to death,
We breathe its incense as we go
But seldom do we realize
The sweet fruition of our hopes;
Asweet perfume borne on the breath,
OF all the winds that blow.
In the morn with JOYOUS hearts we rise,
At eve-disappointment opes
different vista to our eyes
Than the one seen through our hopes.
CHARITY.
The divinest plant is Charity,
We only see it here and there
Good -hued and modest, sweet and fair
blooming in its early rarity,
We see it as oft in the lowly place
As in the higher walks of mcn,
With its simple, sweet and sanity grace,
Crowned with loves bright diadem.
Its increase puritcs the soul;
It maks us kind to our own kind;
And, as the years back from Us roll.
Grow better both in heart and mind.
1t is chain whose links doth bind
The angels to the human soul.

In Snow,

0 English Mother in the rudy glow
Hugging your baby closer when outside
You see the SILENT soft, and cruel snow
Falling again, and think what ills betide
Unshelter'd creatures-your sad thoughts
may go
Where War and Winter now two spectral
wolves,
Hunt in the freezing vapor that involves
Those Asian peaks OF ice and CULTS below.
Does this young soldier heed the snow that
fills
His mouth and open eyes? or mind, in truth,
His coat is red-but what OF that? Keep ruth
For others: this is but an Afghan youth
Shot, by the stranger on his native hills.

That generous mind no stern rebutfs shall vex
That busy brain no problems dire perplex

Entitled 10 Their Best Regard.
Respected by his employers, whose
confidence he enjoys to the fullest
bent, is William Lewis, the polite and
trusty porter at the Union and Plant
ers Bank. He has held his place for
several years, and during the time he
has added largely to the good name
he held through all his life. William
was reared in this city and belonged to
a worthy family of his caste, being a
near kinsman to old man James Rose.
Wlo used to be known as the original
Dandy JIM" the best dressed darby
on the Chickasaw bluffs, mentioned a
few days since as one of the most
trusted of servants and at the same
time cured thoroughly of all taste for
ardent spirits by an attack of Yellow
Jack last year. Mr.. Lewis is an edu-
clteu man ana can perform almost any
kind of clerical work with as much
skill and finish as the best. He does
a large amount of labor and the bank
directory deem him well worthy Of
his hire. William has labored ear
nestly and saved closely, investing his
earnings in a neat little cottage in the
quiet suburb of Fort Pickering,
where the ho~neysuckle and the jesa-
mine trail around its whitened wall.
Here he gathers each evening with
his sisters around the Preside to
smooth the wrinkles OF approaching
age upon his respected mother whose
last years are likely to be full of
peace as has been the simplicity of
her past life consoled as she is by the
conviction of having reared a son so
worthy and industrious.

No mercantile house on Front street
enjoys a more lucrative trade at present
than does that of Taylor & Arnold,
No. 272 Front street. Since the out
break of the fever it has opened each
morning to welcome its customers and
friends. In the darkest hours of our
gloom there was always Q ray Of cheer
without and within the store Of Tay-
lor & Arnold. Now when the times
are getting brisk the same expression
is manifested by the gentlemen in
charge, Messrs. John r. Grehan and
Henry Solari. For some days past
these gentlemen have had their hands
full attending to the increasing
wants Of their numerous custom
ers. Only a few days since Mr..
Grehan made a shipment to
st. Louis Of fifty bales of cotton from
the head of Island 40, the chief mem
bers of the firm being there to handle
it upon arrival and efecting a good
sale, ten cents per pound being real
lied. Another shipment Of a larger
number of bales is in course of prepa-
ration and will 80 forward a few days
hence. 1t is pleasant to record that
the house prospers, and also that they
have an ample stock of fresh p%lanta-
ton supplies at all times on hand and
in readiness for the demands Of their
trade. More goods are now under
way and will be received by the
steamer Hard Cash.

A New P~rOphyIaclic.

In the large Bradley building, near
the foot of Adams street, close by the
riverside, is the soap factory of which
Mr.. r. G. Latting is secretary and
manager. Mr.. Latting has had from
a dozen to a dozen and a half of work
men constantly busy through all of the
past summer. They have made up a
large quantity of soap, prepared for
the fall and winter trade-expected to
be heavy as soon as quarantine restric-
tons are raised. A rather odd cir
cumstance is connected with this soap
factory, and the same is we'll worthy
OF inspection by quarantine officials
or others in search of sporads or
other causes of malaria. Not a
case Of yellow fever has yet
occurred in the Bradley building
though several families of the work
men abide therein. 1t was the same
last year. The force was then equal
to that now employed and while the
seourge ragged violently all around not
a solitary case of yellow fever ap-
peared in Mr.. Latting's factory. 1t is
possible that the alkalis and other in
gradients Of which soap is composed
is certain preventive of yellow fever.
The savants Of the medical profes
sion would do we'll to investigate.
