MONDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 18, 18t>7. GOETHE'S BAL.LAD OP THE MINSTREL. The beautiful ballad of "Tho Minstrel," by GOETHE, has been frequently translated by BUL? WER and others, and ia quite, familiar to literary people. But the following translation by one of otjf own citizens, seems to us the most felicitous of all that we have seen, and we should venture to say, is one of the most true to the beautiful origin? al. The translator, in Ibo present instance, who, as our readers will readily perceive, bas all the dexterity of an expert i:i the Courts of Apollo, in? troduces his rendering with a brief note. He says : "These lines of GOETHE, seems to me, rather an allegory than a common ballad. The fifth stanzas probably suggested COLERIDGE'S fine tribute to the spirit of his own inspiration-"I have found poetry its own exceeding great reward." Doubt? less the first part of this is true. A largo portion of GOETHE'S ballads are allegorical. Ho was not sensuous hie SCHILLER, but was perpetually seek? ing after the occult, and, in the merest song, he disguises a moral; and, in his histori cal ballad, ho is apt to hide a mystery. But COLEKIDGE hardly needed the influence of the fifth verse in this in? stance, to prompt a sentiment which is universal am\ng-poeta. They sing as the birds do, else why sing ? Verily, man is rarely disposed to compen? sate any of our balladists with gold chains or golden goblets. But GOETHE seems to illustrate art in this passage, which may reject the gold chain as an ornament for the Bard, but which will yet look gratefully upon the picturesque, and be? hold in the purple wine, in the golden vessel, the ideal of an assimilative and corresponding rich? ness, which will appeal equally to eye and mind. We may reject the gold as gold, per se, yet wel? come a draught of Rheni sh from the goblet of gold, which we yet refuse to carry away in our own bosoms. Art is tims shown to bo equally con? scious and uneelfib^ to be quick and keen in the appreciation of what is picturesque, appropriate and symmetrical, yet quite indifferent to all the cares of accumulation. But we must no longer keep our readers from the beautiful ballad "which follows : THE MINSTREL. L "Who ainga so late before the gate ? What sound from bridge and castle-wall ians faint and clear ? the voice I hear I Shall ring to-night in bower and hall." The monarch spoke, the minion ran ; Back came the page; "Ho, Seneschal! Bring in the aged man." "Now fair befall yo nobles all, Kow greet yo "Cur ye lovely dames; Rich heaven 1 afar shines star and star; What tongue can speak their high-born names? They fin the ball with splendor bright; Be wise old man, from beauty's names Hide thou thy dazzled sight." The harper sang, with sudden clang The armed Knights looked sternly round ; With gentle lrown, the dames locked down ; Ho sang of war, high leaped the sound; He sang of love, low sighed tho strain ; From his own neck the King unbound, And bade bim wear the chain. ?Thy gift withhold; the chain of gold Bestow upon some noble Knight, Whom glory's prize or beauty's eyes, Have fired with valor in the fight;. . Cr let thy Chancellor, whose barden Of golden care seems always light, - Receive it for his guerdon. ..r - '^y/{ I sing as the bird that chaunto unheard, Nor heeds that none his note regardetb; The song that fiowB from the heart, bestows The only reward that rowardetb. Tot dare I ask-for paley cold The flow from heart to lip' re tard etn- . A beaker of vintage old ?* . He took it up, he drained the cap; ? < Ol sweet refreshment, draught di vine I High-placed I wis, the house where this. Is deemed ?dole of common wine; Farewell-and shcraldst thou think of me,. Thank God as for this giff of thine L from my heart, thant thee. 3 ? ? ? : W.

One case, originating in that quarter, developed itself in our village last week. Prompt steps were taken by the town authorities to have the patient, to? gether with all who were in the same bouse, re? moved, and there are now no apprehensions that the disease will spread in this community. Prudence, . however, would suggest that the usual precautions be adopted by all, both in town and country. - . . ' f Lancaster Ledger. COLLECTOR OF ASTERNAL REVENDE.-T. B.

NEW ORLEANS, February 18.-COTTON-Notwith? standing the unfavorable condition of tho weather, there appears to be a liberal inquiry this morning, but in the absence of later advices from Liverpool it is not probable that a heavy business will be transacted. The supplies are fair, and factors 'are evidently inclined to sell, but continue quite firm in their demands. No sales of mo? ment have been reported yet. We repeat quotations: Ordinary 28%a29c; Good Ordinary 29%a30o; Low Mid? dling 30%a31%; Middling 31%a32c SUOAB AND MOLASSES-Only 7 hhds. Sugar have been received since yesterday-no Molasses. Both are hi re? quest, but the market is bare of supplies tn first bands, or nearly so, and we nave, in consequence, no sal a of importance to note. Dealers and speculators were meet? ing the demand to-day at the usual advance on wholesale rates. We repeat the prices paid yesterday for reference : Fair Sugar 13c ?? lb; fully fair 13%al3%c; strictly fully fair 13%c; strictly choice 14%c; yellow clarified 14al4%.

WESTEBN PBODUCE AND PROVISIONS.-The market closed yesterday nearly bare of Flour, Grain and Bacon, and a light stock of POTS and Lard. The receipts since then, however, ore large, seven steamers and four barges I having arrived from the West with assorted cargoes of produce. Very little business has ccen done as yet, though, owing ba part to the inclemency of tho weather, and in part to the fact that but little of the receipts have yet been landed. The market has, therefore, scarcely developed itself to-day. MONETARY-The Coin market is quiet, although rates are higher. Gold opened nominally at 136%al37, against 136aTJ?>? lost evening, but buyers are rather shy to oper? ate before the receipt of further intelligence from New, York. The sales thus far include Sic,OOO at 136}*, and 912,000 at 137%, deliverable this week. Foreign Exchange is inactive, notwithstanding rates are finner.
