The circle is broken, a link missing,
No earthly ties can ever unite;
But heaven alone restores the blessing
And cheers the heart with fond delight.

No more a mothers love we have;
Our hearts are sad and all alone,
But we will trust in Him who gave
Home is sad, Oh God how dreary,
Lonely, lonesome, every spot;
Listening for her voice till weary,
Weary for we hear it not.
All is dark within our dwelling,
Lonely is our home to day,
For the one we loved so fondly
Has forever passed away.

1 GRATIFYING SUCCESS

Wea glad to learn that the daily receipts
Of the New Orleans Exposition are far in
excess oi the expenses, and il is confidently
asserted that It's greatest season of success
will be from the present time until il closes,
All who have seen the Exposition. AMI WE
have conversed with several unite in saying
that it is much greater than they expected
it would BIZ, and that it far exceeds the Cen
tennial at Philadelphia in everything, ex.
cept works of art. We indulge the idea
that comparatively few persons of the South
have seen the Exposition. They have been
waiting, doubtless, until everything was in
order They realized that they could make
only one visit and they desired Ia make that
visit at the time when the Exposition pre-
sented the most attractions. 1t is now claim
ed that there will be no better time. than
this month. April is said TO be always a
pleasant month at New Orleans. That it is
generally dry and not too warm.
The Exposition has demonstrated one
thing already. II is that cotton lie no longer
king in the South. Labor is king. No one
can read an account of the exhibits of the
Southern States without getting the impress
sion that the Southern people are a working
people, that they are not only developing
the old sources OF wealth but are also open.
ing up many new sources The mine, the
factory and the forest are sharing with cot.
ton, sugar and rice the attention of the PEG.
pie.
An understanding Of the Southern exhib.
its shows why the people of the South are
richer now than they were with hundreds
of millions Of dollars worth of slave proper.
~. The whole people have become workers.
There is no non-producing class. Thousands
who lived on the labors of others quarter
Of a century ago, are now helping to make
the South the richest section Of the Union.
There are comparatively few who realize
the changes that have taken place in the
South, because their field of observation,
like our own, has been limited. But any
one who reads and reflects on the demon
stration made at the Exposition, will, doubt
less, learn more Of the rapid and substantial
changes thai have and are taking place in the
South than by riding over the country for
two or three months.
