The Iave-Letter, She took It In her tremblinfe hands, That poorly served her will; The wave of life on golden sands, v t Stood for a moment still. She read the superscription o'er, And broke the careful seal; The precious burden that it boro She did not read but feel. O, earth, so green with summer now, 0, sky of heavenly blue! 0, mated birds on every bough! Her thoughts are not of you. The hum of friendly tones below, The life of pleasant care, That sway ed ner soul an hour ago, Now rule no longer there. She knows a love too pure and high, For simple words to speak ; Its glory glistens in her eye, And blushes on her cheek. Its brighter warmth about her lies, Its Ails each human need, Enfolds her life and glorifies The simplest word or deed. He has no promise to allure, ?fo fairy tale to ten; The skill of holiest love is suro To work its purpose well. It scorns the flatterer's subtle art, The worldHng'e acted lies;: : But storms the fortress of the heart, And bears away the prize... Yet bravo as spurred and belied knight, More tender still than brave, He lifts the victim into light, ' Himself the willing slavo. O, Love, thy kingdom stands secure, Born with Creation's day;. The sweet dominion shall eridoto When earth has. passed away. < A FRANCE. . > ; Parisian correspondence . throws more light upoa the popular reaction in Savor of Napoleon. The result of the recent elections was a surprise to many sanguine and short-sighted Republicans. The Bonap'artlsts vote was not as large as that party expected, bat at the same time it waB twice as largo as anybody- else expected. The most striking point in these elections is that th^ legitimate vote was very small, and the Orieanists vote not counted at all. One of the main results, therefore, is, that the field has been narrowed down to the contest between 4ha Imperialists and tho Republicans. The former gain adherents every day. A correspondent rolates an occurrence which illustrates tho presont state of public sentiment. A party of women were making purchases in a shop. "After all," said One, "if things go on In this way two months longer, they'll hate to call back the one they have effected to despise so much.". "Yes,'1 said another, "say what they may about Napoleon III, he was good to the poor.. For my part,, tho sooner he comes back tho better." Public talk ? iL. t? _ DAS a great enact upuu tuu x ccuuu, and immediately overy one in the shop was eager to say a good word for tho Emperor. The oneroas taxes levied, by the Republicans, whether necessary or not, cannot be borno by the people. They see that they are poorer and not so well governed, and naturally long for a return of the old, pleasant, prosperous days. , Tho Opinion National* says there is a fresh departure of skilled worknien from.Paris, among whom some may rank as real artists. Those men are seeking employment in England, Russia and tho United States. After the iconoclasm Of the wholesale burning by tho Commune, thfa exodus seems to bo a very singular proceeding, as there must bo work enough to do iu tho ruined city to give employment to thousands of artisans of all descriptions. Tho troth is, however, - - i.t.? that the soiia imnKing uma?u? t>i tuo French people have no confidence in the pseudo republican government which now wields the destines of the nation. Its weak, vacillating policy' foreshadows another scene of bloodshed and destruction, and the skim workmen, therefore, do not care to remain where they may be called upon at any moment to cut the throats of their brothren and be deprived of the moans of support. . It is an ill wind that blows nobbdy good, and Franco's misfortune will provo a benofit to America in providing her with the most ingcnius and skilled workin the world. A Striking Contrast.?Under the head of "A Contrast," the New Orlfinma Picayune draws an instructive and timely parallel betweon the Sresent material condition of New ersey, which yesterday elected its State government, and Louisiana, which patiently and manfully awaits to bo allowed to elect one. The State government of New Jersey .'costs each resident sixty-four cents a year. In the State of Louisiana, with a population of 726,"000?or 180,000 Jess than New Jersey?the oxpcnditqros for the fiscal year ending November 30, 1870, amounted to moro than $7,000,000, or more than $9.69 for every man/woman and child in the State, or more than fifteen times the rate in New Jersey. New Jersey's Legislative department cost $56,980 for tho year. For the same year, the compensation and contingent expensos of the Louisiana Legislature amount' ins nna tronlvn t.imen ar eu 10 ijjo.iiv, vt much. For tho same year, the State printing of Now Jors9y cost 653,949, while that of Louisiana cost $318,446 ?or noarly six times as much. ># ? South Carolina Bonds.?The Financial Chronicle, (N. Y.,) of Saturday last, says; In Stato bonds, South Carolinas continuo to bo tho chief foaturo, and have Ajrtber declined, as indicated in tho tablo of prioes bolow. No further information has boon given in regard to the financos of tho Stato, and, from all tho facts obtainable, tbo debt known to be outstanding is about $12-, n/vn nnn l,nt it. nnnnot be much loS8.

Tho meanest thing that has appeared in a Eadical newspaper lately, tas { been a reproach east upon the South * that it. did not contribute more large- t 1 A. xi, A ?.?!! ktf +U A IV WJ bUU relict ut IIUVBUUVIBIO UJF VUD Chicago fire, The' insinuation made is that the hearts of the Sonthorn * pcoplo overflow with- bitterness J against their Northern - nbighbors, f and that the * cry of distress which went np from the ashos of the deso- t lated city tonched no chord in their t jaundiced and implacable breasts. It i is unpleasant to think tbat there is even a Kadical so wicked as to strive . to make political capital ont of the Chicogo calamity, and yet this is the only interpretation we can giwe to to this Baaical attack on the impov orished South. Itis made apparently t for the purpose of producing farther v estrangement between the sections, t As for the charge that tj^e Southern people are. selfish and unfeeling, we g will venture to say that it is entirely ^ anfoandcd. In the flrst place, they ~ have given from their limited means .juite as m.uoh, in proportion, as more favored localities. New Orleans sent *1 $30,000. Charleston, devastated by ^ war worse than Chicago ever was by 8 the fire-fiond, and never rebuilt, bankrupt in fortune, and scourged at the j moment by yellow fever,' contributed { her mite, kindly and cheerfully, p though it was wrung from shrunken 0 purses. r If there is any excuse for drawing nnmnnnanno tka fttrifknn Pfllmettal * Stato will stand quite as well in tbeL eyes of the^nation as ber wealthy and G prosperous Western- sister.
