Dust.
A QUAINT COMPOSITION".
Dust no w?ro, wn?l du?t to be,
Dust upon us, <lust about u.^,
Dust on everything wo see,
Dust willnn us, without us :

Dust wc rnii>o upon the rnrtd,
Dusk we hientho in <1ineing-hnll:
Dust infests our homo nhoilv,
Dust, it ]?all, is over nil;
'Tis th<y housowife's daily tlvoml;
Dust, tlio omblom of the ilenil!
AVhcu the sky above is fair,
Ami the sun upon us strcn~r.
Flouts tlio dust throughout the air,
({learning iu its fallen beams ;
Every mote is like a man,
Dancing guily whilo ho can.
Ere the tempest gathers strong.
Mows nt times the warning gust,
O'er the plain U sweeps along.
Tempest's thrall, n oloutl of (lust.
j.very mote is liKo u mini.
Flying frotn Oppression's ran.
Now the swollen clouds prow dark,
Comes tho loug-expected 1lood,
Fulling deluge-like nn<| httirk;
Dust is beaten down to mud.
So arc times when luonmust grovel,
In the pulaco ns the hovel. . I
Thus wo nre but motes of dust.
On tlie ground nml In t hr? nir,
Itlowii by pleasure, fear ami lust, .

Uoim of dust, to coine to dust,
Let us mingle, for we must.

Savannah is the Southern city from
which the same correspondent who. scinis
the following sketch Has often dated, but
he has never fuVnishcd anything more
graphic than thi.s capital incident iu the
experience of the accomplished Preston.?1
Those who knew that splendid orator and
gentleman can appreciate the scene. 0;u*
correspondent fays:
"Many of your readers remember the
stately presence, the dignified hearing and
imposing manner of Colonel William C.
Preston, of South Carolina. It was when
all these (|inlities were in their prime, and
Preston represented his State m the Senate
of tho United States, that busir \ss or pleasure
Called him to the West, and to take
passage down the Mississippi river, l.n
those 'flush times' tho steamers swarmed
with hoosiers, greenhorns and gamblers, the
latter politely designated Sporting gentlemen,'
the term 'gambler' 01* 'black leg' entailing
on the speaker a pistol shot or a wipe
from u bowie-knife.
"The boat was 011 the ove of departure,
and our Senator, standing on deck aud holding
u small mahogany box, was observing
with interest and pleasure tho busy scene
on the wharf, when an individual, luxuriating
in a rather ornate style of dress, approached
him, and in subdued tones de
. .r- nianded :
<ll say, old feller, when are you agoing
to commence?"
"Commence what, sir," itskcd the astonished
Senator.
"Pshaw, none of that gruumon with me.
The fact is, u few of us boys on board want
a little, fun, and wo wou't pile it on too
strong for you 5 so come and open at once."
"Really; sir," replied Preston, "I ainto:
tally at a loss to guess your meaning.?
Open what?"
"Open what? Why, the bank, of course!
May-bo you think our pile isn't largo enough
to make it an object. Hut we're not so
poor as all that, anyhow !"
The Senator meditated gloomily, but all
was dark to him ; he was plunged in a sea
uf doubt, and he had never met aliy prob
uui, Iiug VTI/II u {niiitiuai UHUj so Jliirtl 10

"Perhaps/' broke in his pertinacious
friend again, after a considerable pause,
"perhaps you will say directly that you're
not u sporting man."
"I certiiinly am nothing of the kind, air,"
rejoined Pieston, rather angrily; "aud I
eau't imagine what put such an idea into
your head."
"Not a sporting man9 Whcw-w 2 1

AVell, if you're not asporting'4man, why do
you carry the tools about with you ; nud

A light brokoon Preston's mind. "The
mahogany box!" he oried. ""Ah, yes!
1m, ha! Very natural mistake, indeed, my
good sir: very natural, indeed Well, I
will .show you the contents,of the box.
And, laughing heartily* he opened the box
in qxiOation, which was Jp fact his dressing

brushes, com hp, razors, soup, cto.', which
usually fill that article, of travelling comfort.
Our friend looked at the oast n, then at

Prtjston again. Then ho heaved a long
sigh, nnd then he pondered.

' Well, r^dVon this kind o' ri'ed him, for
