Poetical.
Tlio visit over, bidding lier ndlcn,
I took my lint, nnd, bowing low, withdrew.
Then, starling homo ward, soon X misled my
rs lie.
He traced my ster and rang the bell again,
I heard a rush the door (lew opn wide
And wlthnbqutid Iiiiclllo was at my side.
KIsRcdmo yocodsl shoklssed mo throitfth and
tlirough,
Htock still I stood, not daring to return
Tho glowing kisses that my Urn did burn,
I tried to speak, and gapped, "1 clean forgot
I Icltmy cane," Bho startod as If shot,
And cried, wllh sobs she vainly tried to smother,
"Oh, dear MOht doarl thought 'twas Dan, my
brother.
What shall I do?' she asked mo o'er nnd o'er.
I lacked the courage to say "Do It moro I"
So, looking shecpUh, seized upon my stick
And forthwith homeward trotted, double quick,
When on my couch in vnlu I courted sleep;
I tossed nnd pondered, "What wealth of lovo
That girl possesses other girl nbovel
And If a brother sho should hold so dear,
What must a husband In her heart appear ? '
Tho Idea grew; and well, lo end tho tale,
I sought her often, nnd to such avail,
That ere a twelvemonth Its full course had run
I woo'd, I won her and wo twain wero ono,
And once I told her "that my Ioo began
Tho nltthtshe khsed mo In mlstako for Dan.';
'Tor Iinnl" mxM she; why, bless your stupid
head,
Poor brother lUh wai Bnfo and snug In bed,"
,'You didn't kuow ltt'1 "Why, of coursi I did,"
And lu my breant her Mushing fce sho hid.
Through all these yearn I did not nnco ruirct
My having fallen In the trap shefcet,
Huppy am I, r.nd happy, too, l'e mntle her,
Althoiujh at tlinctt I laughingly upbraid her;
Ami then sho says, "tho moral, deir, of this H,
Thntglrli don't often mnkemUtakfs In klsnesl"

Someone, liavliiffbeen tclliiif? of "Sir.
Lodt'.r," In London, who died Intoly,
leaving n forluno of $75,000,000, nnd of
tho mnrblo monument of tho Rhodo
Island SiiraRucs, wliich la toeo.st$100,.
000, nnd of tho wondrous wealth and
profusion of Tweed nnd Stewart, and
other shoddy magnnteg and million,
aires, tho Richmond Enquirer tells us
how peoplo had big fortunes, and built
flno houses, and gavo flno dinners, and
drank flno wino and spont monoy In
other flno ways, In tho old times, oro
Lodcx was, or Stewart named. Thus
it is that tho Enquirer takes tho shlno
out of tho Nineteenth century :
hy, what is Tweed, or Stewart, or
Jlr. Todex, or Belmont, or tho RothSi,
chllds, or tho Marquis of Westminister
to Ptolemy Fhiladclphus, of Egypt,
who amassed a littio property of JS50,
000,000? And which of our extrava
gant young ladios, In theso boasted
times, over gave her lover, ns Cleopatra
did, a pearl, dissolved In vinegar (or
undissolved,) worth $100,000? That's
half tho expense of Miss Tweed's wed
ding at a dash, and would dress ono of
our Washington or Baltimoro belles for
forty years. Then thoro was Paulina,
ono of tho ton In Rome, who used to
wear Jewels when sho returned her vis
Its, worth $S00,000. Well, they boast
of Mr. .Stewart's "mnrblo palneo up on
:11th street and Fifth avenuo. Wo dc
not supposo this house, which Is about
tho best they have In Now York, cost
moro thnn half-a-mlllion of dollars.
Well, Cicero, who was a poor man, gavo
$150,000 for his home, and Clodlus paid
050,000 for his establishment on tho
Palatiuo; vhi'o Metsala gavo $2,000,000
for tho houso of Antony. Seneca who
was Just a plain philosopher llko Mr.
Greeley was worth $12,000,000 or $13,-
000.C00. Tiberius left n property of
nearly $120,000,000. Why, they talk
about a man's failing In New York for
a million ns if It was a big thing. Cicsnr,
before ho entered on any olllco when
ho was n young gentleman In private
life owed $1 1,000,000, nnd ho pureha
ed tho friendship of Quasar for $2,500,
000. Mark Antony owed a million and
n-half on tho Jdes of March and he
paid It before the Kalends of April.
This was nothing hei-iiuandeied $720,
000.000 of the public money Mujor
Ilcdgu's defalcation being for tlio con
ttmpliblosum of $150,000.
And these fellows lived well. iv?opus
who was n play-actor, paid $100,000 for
aHlnglo dish. Caligula spent $100,000
on a supper. Their wines wero oltcn
kent for two ages, and somo ot tlietn
cold for $20 an ounce. They roasted
hogs wholo at their banquets. They
wero fond of rnm's head pic, and pastry
Bluffed with raisins nnd nuts. Dishes
wero mtido wilh gold and silver, set
with precious stones. Tho beds of JIo
lloaabnbus wero of solid slls'cr, ins la
bio and plates, covered with carpeti of
cloth of gold, were stuffed wltn down
from under tho wing of tho patrlilgo.
It took $80,000 n year to keep up tho
dlgnlty.of a Roman Senator and somo
of them spent $5,000,000 it year.
Cicero nnd Pompey "dropped in" ono
dav at Lucullus' nobody at Homo out
thu fain v-tuul that lamiiy uinner
cost $1,000.
But wo talk 'about population. vo
boast of London nnd Now York, Romo
had a population of between throo nud
four millions. Tho wooden theatro of
Seaurus conlntncd eighty thousand
ecnln; tlio Colosseum, built of stone,
would teat 87,000, nnd nllortlcustanuiug
hanging garden tho wholo surmount
ed by a bronr.o stntuo of Augustus. At
tlio cntranco wero two Egyptian oho
llsks, fifty feet high, and nllaround was
an cxtcinlvo grove divided Into walks
nnd terraces.
Wo have not space to epcak of tho
Forum Rouianiim, tho Forum Jullum,
tho Theatro of Pompey, tho Tcmploof
Apollo, tho Thcntro of Marccllus, tho
Pantheon, tho Palnco of Nero (entirely
overlaid with gold and adorned with
Jowcls and molhcrof-pear), tho Claudi
an Aqueduct, tho Flavian Amplthcalre,
tho Colosseum, tho Arch of Titus, tho
Villa of Hadrian, tho Baths of CaM-
calla nor of tho great Roman roads,
straight ns an arrow, paved llko tho
Blrccts of a city divided by mllo-6tones,
and having hoties for travellers overy
fiveorslx miles affording uninterrupt

3,710 miles.
Nor have wo space to refer to Thobea

2,500,000,) nnd that noblo palaco with
Its grand columns, whoso cornices were
Inlaid with ivory mouldings, or sheath

Tho nrrcst of Urlgham Young, on tho
presentment of tho Grand Jury of truo
bills against him for bigamy, will draw
public attentiun to tho progress of af
fairs In that far-off region. It has long
been held up its a reproach to this coun
try that o community whoso social
foundations woro laid In polygamy
should havo been so long tolerated by
tho American Government that do not
And themselves compelled to tolerate
somo abuse, and ours is no exception.
To do it Justice, however, all tho cir
cumstances of tho case Bhould bo taken
into consideration. It Is not strictly
correct to say that tho United Stales
Government has "tolerated" Mormon
ism : it lias not taken energollo slops to
surpress It because thcro wero humani
tarian reasons for not doing so. Presi
dent Buchanan, with a viow to tho en
forcement of tho laws, sent n military
expedition thcro but tho nflalr ended
In a compromise which left matters
iretty much as thoy were. Tlio move
ment of (lie United States troops thcro
and back cost (ho country sovcral mil
lions of dollars. At that time Mormon-
Urn could not have been suppressed
without bloodshed, and tho Govern
ment was naturally and properly un
willing to incur tho responsibility of
such nn extreme measure, seeing that
the evil wns eonfliicd to a very distant
and secluded locality, and, therefore,
not likely to provo Infectious by its
example ; and seeing, also, that tho
Mormons, In other respects than ns re
garded their polygamic institutions,
wero a thrifty community, busily and
successful engaged in developing tho
capabilities of tho soil. Salt Lako City
was a Iilvo of Industry, notwithstand
ing tlio (lueslionablo practice! of its In
habitants, nnd It was thereforo held to
bo entitled lo somo forbearanco. Its
population was constantly recruited
from tlio meist ignorant classes of Eu
rope, chiefly from England, Wales, and
Scandinavia j but it is hy no means
clear that tho women thus said to havo
been "converted" to Mormonlsm would
havo led better lives In lliolr own coun
try they probably would havo had to
undergo more drudgery than they havo
In Mormondon. Bo that as It may, tho
United States Government pursued a
humano policy in allowing this great
evil to run Its natural course, confident,
that when tho rapidly advancing tldo
of colonization should havo founded
great States around Utah, tho iufluenco
of Christian civillzitlon would seal tho
fato of Mormonlsm; that those of its
own household would thou becoi..o Its
foes, and the lmpiwturcof "tho Prophet
of Nauvoo" and Ids tuccessors wouiu
fade nwuy. That hour seems to have
come. Balgliam Young, tho absoluto,

tion." has. it Is sald.suqmltted quietly

prcsenco of it forco or United biaies

thissnbmisslvo policy; but It Is qultous
likely that men like Young and Orson
Pratt havo correctly read tlio signs oi

thereforo, they will not embark in an
unavailing contest. Ago nud UMiealtn

Tho Now York dalax; Is adding
greatly to tho Intcrost of Its pages, by
drawing from men who boro a promi-
nont part In tho late war, nn nccount of
Its most remarkablo incidents. Fore
most In importance and ability Is Mr.
Lincoln's Socrot.iry of tho Navy, tho
lion. Gldoon Wcllos. Ho writes with
great vigor, nnd with tho mastery of
facts which his position afforded. His
article In tho present (December) num
ber of tho Galaxy, Is entitled "Anmlral
Farrngut and Now Orleans." Mr.
Welles exhibits, in a very noblo and
Imposing light, tho character and serv
ices of Farragut. Of course, In so do
ing Mr. Welles Incidentally advances
tlin reputation of tho nrm of tho service
under Ids direction, but ho nlso docs nn
undoubted scrvlco to tho cnuso of his
toric truth by dissipating stories propa
gated by too erectly aspirants to famo
not earned. For instanco, ho oxplodes
a story told In a book written by or for
General B. F. Butler, entitled "Butler
at Now Orleans, by Jamos Parton." In
this a dramatic scono Is given between
Butler and Secrotary Stanton, of t,ho
dato of "about January 20, 1802." Mr.
Stanton suddonly asks "why can't Now
Orleans bo taken ?" Butler replies, "It
can," Ac,, which was tho alleged origin
of the expedition. Mr. Welloi calmly
proves that Stanton was not yet Secro
tary of War nt that dato ; that long bo
foro It tho expedition had been organ
ized by tho Nnvy Department; that
some timo afterwards, namoly, on tho
23th of Jnnuary, It becamo necessary to
confer with Mr. Stanton, about it, nnd
then ho heard of it for tho first time,
and with somo resentment, because,
without his knowledge, tho matter had
from its inception been submitted to
General McClellan, Indeed, the utmost
secrecy had been observed, because It
was essential to success, and tho brunt
of tho cntcrprlso was borno hy tho
navy. The subordinate part of tho
army was to occupy tho city of Now
Orleans when tho navy should capture
It. Mr. Welles relates with Just prido
tho complete succoss of this plan, and
awards tho Hons's share of tho honor
to tho modest and gallant Farragut.
Ho also corrects somo statements which
he finds In what ho sarcastically calls
tho "biography of auto-biography of
Admiral I). D. Porter, hy Headley.'
That gallant and ambitious naval olll
ccr, Mr. Welles says, has trenched a
littio on tho credit duo to Farragut. Bo
this n3 It may, wo think Pyrtor will
certainly never ccllpso tho famo of Hor
ace Walpolc, or nny other "eomploto

offlcor, ho Is a failure as a "man of let

lic mind ; and now ho Is exhibited In

by Porter's mortar boats, which had
been added, nt Porter's suggestion, to

corruption of Babylon nnd Thobes was
followed, after tho lapso of centuries, by
tho higher culture of Greece. Athens
taught humanity. No gladiatorial show
nor human eacrltlces wero permitted by
its progressive peoplo, Demosthenes
boasted that his life had been passed in
thoservicaof his native city, and in a
constant effort to win tlio ostcom of his
fellow-citizens; Pericles, that no Athe
nian had over suffered by his fault.
