Moonbtaun.
Over Heids or t?ymy uiossoni,
Over beds of dewy flowers,
Now upon tho streamlet's bosom,
Now within the whispering bowers,
Soft and slow ; ,'?'.??,
The moonbeams go,
Wandering on through midnight hours.
Lightly o'er the crested billow,
Where the heaving waters flow,
Where the sea-bird finds her pillow,
Th??r-i the glistening moonbeams go
doti and slow,
Soft and slow, .
Ever wandering, soft and slow*
Queen oX bt.-au.ljt; i'obod h? ?plondor.
Finds thy silent foot no rest?
Looks thy smile so soft and tender,
Ne'er upon a kindred breast?
Soft and slow
Thy footsteps go.
In their silver sandals dressed.
Queen of beauty! canst thou ever
Thus thy lonely task ft?iill?
Sister voices never, never,
Answering thee from'bower or hill:
Soft and slow .
As winter's snow,'
Fall thy footsteps cold and still.
Silent moon! thy smile of beauty
Fainting hope will oft renew;
Teach me, then, thy holy duty,
.Waste and wild to wander through.
Soft and slow,
Still to go,
Patient, meek, but lonely too.
Romance of Real Life.
The recent unfortunate affair be?
tween Colonel F. and Captain DeV.,
at Mobile, has led to a good deal of
fashionable gossip. Colonel F. is the
son of a worthy and distinguished
citizen of Mobile. Young and gal?
lant, he a year or two since wooed
and won the belle of Alabama, taking
to his home and heart the fairest
woman of the land. In due time he
was called away to the wars, and his
fair wife consoled herself as best
she could under the circumstances.
Eventually there appeared above the
horizon of fashionable society, at
Mobile, a gay young Cuban-hand- j
some, dashing, brilliant, rich. Never
was hero of romance more exquisite in j
taste or polished in manners. Need
we say that this young exquisite was
Captain DeV.? Among the ladies
DeV. created" an immediate sensation, j
He was the "very genteel fellow" j
they had been so loug sighing about,
and as he was a soldier of fortune
and occupied an honorary position on
General Maury's staff, he was at once
voted an Admirable Crichton in ac?
complishments, and a Julius Caesar in
bravery.
The handsome young cavalier was
not long in discovering who the fairest
woman in Mobile was, and he soon
became as much fascinated by her
loveliness as Thomas Seymour was
by Catharine Parr in the wicked days
of -Henry Vin. With plenty of j
Spanish gold in his pocket, a gay ap- !
pe aran ce, good address and line i
horses, the gallant Cuban fairly took :
young Mobile by storm. Even Claude
Melnotte was not more free with the !
money furnished him by his tempters ;
than he with the re\ ernies of a sugar
estate in the "ever faithful isle." At
length scandal begin to wag lier
tongue and shake her insinuating
finger. The beautiful young Mobile
wife walked on the streets with the
dashing Cuban, waltzed with him at
soirees and hops, took a seat beside
him in bis splendid carriage, which
had just '"'run the blockade," went
with him on reception evenings to
Madam L.'s, and in short, accepted
his attentions with all the easy confi?
dence of a lady, secure in her" posi?
tion, and utterly indifferent to "the
world's dread laugh. "
So it iell ont, when the husband of
the lady returned from Iris campaigns,
he heard rumors which were by no
means pleasant-nothing of guilt,
. but something which might ba con
- strued into indiscretion. In the
meantime DeV. had gone to Cuba,
perhaps never to return. He did
return, however, and in doing so
passed through this goodly Crescent
City of ours. This was about ten or
twelve days ago. Arriving at Mobile,
he went to the Battle House, and
meeting there with Colonel F., some
unpleasant words were exchanged
and he got badly wounded. The
matter was inquired into a day or
two since by an examining court,
when it appeared that DeV. was alto?
gether in the wrong; that he had
spoken insultingly to Colonel F., and
subsequently the Colonel was at once
discharged. So for the time being,
tlie matter ends.-New Orleans Times.
