written by D.
There comes the news-boy, heaj his noisy sdng
Siting each item, as he trips atong—
Testerday only, he was noiselsss and sad,
But hear him to-day, how cheerful and glad
Yesterday's paper fold naught t* affright,
Of fire, or flood, or dreád battle field fight.
Nothing of horror, and nothing oí dread
And sadíy tlTo boy crept hungtjr to bed.
The sea-birds to-day, screamed forth the if de-
light .. ' .
As they saw their feast in tie ship-wrecks
sight.
Vulture and .Tackal with joy saw the dead,
Lying to-day, on the battle-fifld red;
While the demons of hate, in lir danced with
joy
'Mid the smoke, as 81 King Fire" walked forth,
to destroy— ' * ;
Of each, the news-boy, seeniB gladly to sipg,
He knows that to-night, he will least like a
King.
His brother, the boot-black, yill join in his
glee
And both will be merry, as thej both can be.
The boot-black, he too, has hk fortune sure
While only the mud, or du&may endure-
But chide them not; when both happy and
warm, . , .
Life's little wreckers, made glad by its storm-
Better that evil brings some one a good
Than all should be wrapped in its wasteful
flood.
Then deem not the news-boy a ghoul or fiend
That he from our evils some good hath gleaned
You with your diamonds from India's eaves
Your gems are aceursed by the grpans of
slaves«
You with your pearls so snowy and White,
The divers pay life for their passage to light—
You with your treasures of gold so gay
For which men's" souls hare been bartered
away.^
Deem not the [boys trade, or small proAt a

Ah! years have loitered by, mother,
Since last I felt thy fingers light
Pass fondly through my hair,
As at thy knee I knelt at night
To say my childish prayer.
Into the world I've gone, mother,
The old home left behind-
New ties of friendship and of love
About my heart have twined;
Yet in its holiest recess,
All dry and joyless still,
There lives one-well of tenderness
No earthly love can fill.
Thy self-forgetful caté, mother;
Thy counsel, ever near;
Thy sympathy with every joy,
Thy loving glance, thy tender tone,
Thy warm kiss on my brow-1 ■
Gone from my lifs, forever gone!
I know their value now.

Mr. James M. Russell in a com muni-
cation to the Gouzalea Enquirer of the
21st inst.,- after explaiuing the nature of
the proposition offered to. the citizens of
Gonzales éounty thinks it a very liberal
one and «bould be taken up immediate-
ly as an enternj-isiLthat should be accom-

need and are most interested iu. Clieap
fare and tbé.Shortness of Ihe route is the
route íor the farming interest. We
waut a market for our cotton, corn and
potatoes, and the heavy tariff of freights
brought down, which abhe this road can
réüJUée."
The following calculations of Mr. Itus
sell will explain the, matter fully to our
Western citizens, who will see the neces-
sity of doing everything iu their power
to further its construction:
But let us take the one barrel of* Jlpur
for whidh I pay $12.50, nd..,w.h&¿d0 I
pay this much? Is it Jbboause.ifis-sy
fei¿k at the Port that our mercbaMs can-
oot.afford to lál me have it ; no- the mer-
chant in Gonzales tells me that tlris flour
post him only $8.50. It ie true but as it
weighs 212 lbs. I have to pay $2 to $2.25
to get it here besides the loss of time
that my money is idle, locked up ip that
Moor; whereas if I hada Bail Bbad I
could have it brought from the Port for
75cts and cobld have my moúey employ-
ed in some c^her business. Now let us
look at these figures $8 50; $2.25 freight
interest for six weeks or two'months we
have the barrel up to $8.50-Hjost $2.25—
freight int., Ac. Making $11.83 actual
cost to the Merchant laid do^ru in the

pose the Road was ruhning he would get
his bárrel of flour laid down at $8 50 coat
75 cents freight interest dedhcted thus
allowin|j hita his 66 ceñís profit and me
getting my barrel of flour at $9.75. Then
we have Raved on one barrel of flour tlie
sum of #2.95. This by 4 saves to me &a
a tax-payer $11.80ito pay my interest on

Bat let as try one bale of ootton of 500

AfROMANCE OF REAL LIFE.
A Kentucky oorresponent of the C5in-
oinnati Commercial states the following :
I write this letter in the house of an
old lady, who is a niece of that Rebecca
Bryan, who became the wife of Daniel
Boone, and concerning whose eyes (the
yonng hunter is said to have mistaken
tbem for those of a deer) the pretty
backwoods romance is told. This lady
is herself, also, the widow of one of Dan
iel Boone's own nephews, her seeoad hus
band, who assisted in bringing the great
hunter back to Kent&dky; She was born
iu one of the -chief old pioneer stAtioltaa
(her grandfather's,) near Lexington, and
although she is in her eighty-first year,
she is active in body, busying herself
with her flowets and garderi, clear-sight
ed and alert in spirit Recently she
heard that ode of her middle-aged sons,
absent over twenty years in California,
and presumed déad fdr nidhs than- half of
that time, was yet alive, her joy was
great. He too, had supposed hjs mother
to be long dead. The old lady has a ro-
mance connected lirith her Second mar-
riage. It is as follows : When her Moth-
er was a young lady, Col. William Boone,
the nephew of Daniel mentioned above,
was very much in love with her, and
asked her, on one occasion, to marry
-him. She told him she was engaged to
Morgau Bryan, and that they were to be
married in a few days. Colonel Boone
went away and married another young
woman. Afterward he, with his wife,
visited the other young married couple,
when their first child (now iu her fifth
score of years,) was hat a very few days
old, and seeing the baby, he laughed :
"Now, Milly, as you would'nt have me
yourself, you'll give me the girl for my
second wife, won't you ?" Whether any
jesting promise was made I am not iu-
formed ; but the baby grew up, and at
twenty-seven she was married, had sev-
eral Children, became a widow after nine
years, and remained one for a long time,
when, Colonel Boone's wife having died
tome years previously, she really became,
in her own middle Ufe, the wife of her
mother's early lover, who had claimed
her in hor cradle. The good old lady is
accustomed, in relating this to her son«
and nieces, to speak of it as "one of the
most remarkable things that ever hap-
pened.". I think so, so, and it ifl a true
story.
THE FASHIONS.
A fashioo letter has the following in-
form ation of interest to those who are
improving their grounds:
"Colored lawns are trimmed with white
edgings, for instance, a green Iftwn had a
bias flounce headed with a bias band; a
ruffle extended each way, and upon this
a narrow whitd edge."
We are unable to say where these bia3
flounces and a baud are to be obtained,
but presume they can be procured at the
seed stores or any establishment where
agricultural implemedte are kept.
An effort is beihg made to revive the
brocades worn by our grandmothers. The
genius who could do this would b^a rare
wonder indeed. Imagine a ghostly array
of large bags, merching back from the
dead past, aud their dusty contents re-
constructed into their original fabric. 1

A Scene in the Episcopal General
Convention.—A correspondent, in a pri-
vate letter from Baltimore, written on
the 9th inst., says:
I was at the Convention to-day. In
the midst of the ordinary business, a sub-

sion of a novel and impressive kind. A
lay delegate from Michigan asked the
attention of the house , while he resdV

about 11 o'clock, and the telegram which
he read contained the distressing intelli-
gence of Che progress of the burning of
Chicago, up to that hour. He said he
was a believer in prayer, and he moved
that the business of the house be sus-
mg as much noise as possible. The lady
being duly received at the window and
deposited in the muffled vehicle, tho
heavy one dashed off toward Oilman at a
furious rate, witii papa in hot pursuit,-
V hile the lovers were noiselessly dri ring'
in the opposite direction.
