oh, had lived In that great day,
How bad It's glory new
Filled earth and heaven, and caught away
My rayIshed spirit too
No thoughts that 10 the world belong
Had stood against the wave
OF love which set 50 deep and strong
From Christ's then open grave.
No cloister-noor OF humid stone
Had been too cold for me;
For me no Eastern desert lone
Had been too far to foe.
No lonely life had passed too slow,
When / could hourly scan
Upon HE cross, with head sunk low
That nailed, thorn-crOwned Man;
Could see the mother with the Child
Whose tender winning arts
Have to bis little arms beguiled
SO many wounded hearts,
And centuries came, and ran their course;
And, unspent all that time,
still, still went forth that Child's dear force,
And still was At lts prime.
Ay, ages long endured his span
OF life,-'tis true received
That gracious Child, that thorn-crowned Mani
He lived while we believed.
While We believed, on earth he went,
And open stood his grave;
Men called from chamber, church, and tent,
Aud Christ was by to save.

In the lorn Syrian town;
And on his grave, with shining eyes,
The Syrian stars look down.
In vain men still, with hoping new,
Regard his death place dumb,
And say the stone is not ye; 10,
And walt for words to come.
An. from that silent sacred land
or sun and arid stone,
Aud crumbling wall, and sultry sand,
Comes now one word alone
From DavIG's lips that word did roll;
'Tis true and living yet
No man can sars his brothers. soHI,
Or pay his brothers. debt.

Last week an old negro man,
while walking through a swampy
spot on the Stout place, near vicks-
burg, was bitten on the ankle by a
rattlesnake. He bound a piece of
cloth around his leg, just above the
wound, drank freely of whiskey
and had physician in attendance,
but in spite OF all, he died in great
agony about five hours after being
bitten. Considering the swarms Of
venomous snakes that infest this
part of the country, the wonder is
that so few people are bitten by
them. We can recall but two or
three deaths from snake-bite in Clai-
borne county.

1t really looks as if some Of the
lost Greek and Latin classics may
yet be brought to light. Dispatch
es announce that a Mr.. Pctrie has
lately found in Egypt several Greek
manuscripts of the classical period.
Among these, scholars have inden-
titled three pages of the lost "An-
tiope" Of Euripides, fragments OF
Plato's "Phaedo," and some Ho-
meric fragments.

hatcher and the Negro school.

The Natchez Democrat mas haC
much TO say Of late about the
Holmes industrial institute, which
is now seeking a location in Missis
sippi, and evidently sees no reason
to be alarmed at the proposal to es-
tablish there a school for training
negro girls to habits Of industry,
neatness and morality. II regards
the enterprise with the liberality
and the freedom from prejudice so
characteristic of its enlightened ed
itor, Mr.. Douglass Walworth, and
is strongly in favor of having the
institution brought to Natchez, ar
gulng that il would not only "help
to advertise our town all over the
country, but it would increase our
travel and mail matter, and in var
ious ways be a great, substantial
and permanent benefit to it,"
"Miss Holiness" continues the
Democrat, addressed a letter to Dr.
Stratton, pastor OF the Presbyterian
church, asking his advice on the
subject, and in pursuance Of this let
ter a session Of that church was
held last Sunday, and a committe
appointed TO prepare a statement
encouraging the enterprise. No
town in the state offers greater ad-
vantages than ours, and no commu-
nifty is more tolerant or has a kind
lier feeling for the colored race than
ours"
In a later issue the DemOcGat
says:
ave are gratified TO note that our
citizens, white and colored, have
become fully aroused on the subject
Of securing the seminary, and will
not lose ii if they can help it.
The board Of aldermen also passed
encouraging resolutions, and ap-
pointed committee Of its members
to cooperate with our citizens gen.
orally in their efforts to secure this
enterprise. II is probable that Miss
Holmes, in response to the invita-
tiOns extended, will visit our city |
at an early day to inspect the site
proposed To be offered"
The following extracts from a let
ter of Miss Holmes, which we quote,
with some slight abridgment, from
the Democrat, will show the spirit
that animates this good lady and
her fellow-laborers:
"The object is to train the head,
heart, and hand of the cOlored girls.
To train them to be good house
keepers and home-makers. ii the
of the colored people are To
be improved, IL must be by raj ising
the standard Of the daughters, wives,
and mothers. The girls will be
trained not only in books, but in
washing, ironing, sewing
and mending. Girls will not leave
The grounds without permission
not often anyway. There is not the
slightest danger of any teacher whom
we may send developing any spirit of
social equality. The blacks, | know
Dy personal observation, prefer to
be by themselves, and we certainly
desire to have them so, only desir-
ng that they choose purity and
Christianity"
1t seems highly probable that
will be chosen as the loca-
ion for this philanthropic enter
,rise, Miss Holmes asking only that
/ site be given for the buildings.
The Banner Of the 18th inst. says
hat several sites have already been

Some Of the Texas papers are
talking Of sending Roger Quarles
Mills to the United States senate.
He is a bold man and an able
man, an honest and honorable
man, and would be a marked
figure in that body of easy go-

From being a mere "tariff reform
er," Mr.. Mills has become a thorough.

ther ashamed nor afraid TO speak out

speaker of the house, and it is to
this office that the REvEILLE would
like to see him chosen.

Is there no law in Port Gibson
against public gambling2 Last
week at the shooting match a table
was set out by a stranger, and gam
ing was carried on in the sight Of
everybody, yet there were 10 arrests.
A gentleman present from a distant
portion Of the state remarked to one
Of our citizens that he had always
heard Port Gibson spoken of as a
most moral and orderly town, and
he expressed his surprise at seeing
this fragrant violation of the law.
His surprise, it may be added, is
shared by large number of our

having laws if they can thus be con-
tenptuousIy disregarded ?

Destroying Insects.

Dispatches report great destruc-
ton in the pine forests Of Bavaria
by the Nonnen. the caterpillar Of
certain moth which at intervals
has appeared in vast numbers in
Europe. The creatures are eaten
by birds and by wasps and other
insects, but the most effecrive de-
stroyer has been found to be an
air exhauster operated near a
powerful electric light. The moths
are attracted by the light, and
strong exhaust current Of air
drawn into a huge funnel sucks
them into an underground chamber
where they are effectuslly buried.
A similar destruction in East
Prussia in 1853 is said to have
been relieved by a great storm,
which drove the moths to sea,
from which they were afterward
thrown up as a huge bank several
miles long.

The beef market gives indica

cisco butcher told a Gazette report
er yesterday that if he had money
he would have no hesitancy in
putting it into beef cattle at the
present prices and holding them
for a raise. He said that Arizona
had but about 10000 fat steers
left and that only about 5000 of
them would find their way into the
SIN Francisco market, as Los
Angeles, San Diego and the sur
rounding country would use fully
1000. He also said that good
beef was getting very scarce in
California and the most of it was
rough meat at best, and that it
would be May before grass beef
would come in.
