but in the last twelve hours it has only one

soon be ready for the plow This is positive proof
that the water that is coming in on is from the
Yazoo. The water at this point is higher than it

more before it covers the banks of the

AIilliken's Bend, 25th: The river in
front of this place has fallen two inches in
the past thirty six hours Our leyees are
intact, but there are some critical points
in the Milliken's Bend, Rosehill and Buck
horn levees. Every effort is being made,

save them.
Yazoo City, 25th: The river is falling
rapidly at this point, having fallen four

tion, and found in it only sort of poig-
nant pleasure.
All his evenings and the greater por-
tion of his nights were passed thus. His
cheeks grew hollow; his eyes alone
seemed living in the depths Of their or.
bits and shone with a supernatural bril-.
liancy. He no longer had more life than
suniced to feel and suffer.
A friend became alarmed and sought
to discover what Rodolphe did in that
chamber.
1t was the third anniversary of Berthe's
death. Rodolphe again filled the cham
Der with flowers; he himself was furn.
ished with a bouquet. He had strewn
the bed of the dead woman with roses
picked to pieces.
Then, at sunset, he took his seat and
played Berthe's air.
The friend had concealed himself be-
hind a curtaini be trembled on hearing
the sounds of the harp mingle themselves s
with those of the flute. Rodolphe sank
upon his knees aud prayed.
Then the harp played on alone; the
friend saw the strings yibrate, though
no hand toGched them. 1t played a
celestial melody that no one had ever
heard before, and that no one will ever
hear again. Then it resumed Berthe's
air. When it was finished all the strings
of the harp suddenly broke and Ro-
dolphe fell to the floor.
The hidden spectator remained for
some time as motionless as his friend
then, when he went to raise him, Ro-
dJlphe was dead.
