A Hundred Tears Ago.
Where are the birds that sweetly sung
A hundred years ago?
The flowers that in beauty sprung
A hundred year3 ago ?
The lips that smiled,
The eyes that wild
In flashes shone
Soft eyes upon
Where, oh ! where are the lips and eyes,
The maiden's smiles, the lover's sighs,
That were so long ago?
Who peopled all the city's streets
A hundred years ago?
Who filled the church with faces meek
A hundred j-ears ago ?
The sneering tale
Of sisters frail,
The plot that worked
Another's hurt
Where, oh! where are the plots and sneers,
The poor man's hopes, the rich man's tears,
That were so long ago?
Where are the grave3 where dead men slept
A hundred years ago?
Who, while living, oft times wept,
A hundred years ago?
By other men
They knew not then,
Their lands are tilled,
Their homes are tilled
Yet nature then was just as gay,
And bright the sun shone as to-day,
A hundred vears ago.
A NIGHT IN NEW ORLEANS.
Printers tell many queer, quaint, quiz
zical, and sometimes startling stories; and'
while tliev do a iireat deal in tliat way fLr
the mere fun of the tLir.jr, it is not to Le
supposed that they are always jokinir al-
ways jibbing it, merely for the sake of
raisiti" a laugh or creating wonder. In
their numerous fiittings, they mingle with
many strange eights, and oltcu eucuunter
l.erils ttliieli to nidv.j would ajpear iu
credible. "We will relate a little story which we
heard from the lips of a poor young fel
low now dead and gone.
In the year IS , we were assisting in
the editorial department of a daily paper
which was published in one of the small
e'ties cf New York ; one night or rather
morning, (for editors, reporters and prin
ters are compelled to keep all sorts of
hours) after the "forms" were "locked
up," and everything was ready for a linal
adjournment to our respective boarding
houses, a proposition was made to visit a
restaurant near hy for the double purpose
of having a smoke and refreshing the in
ner man with a little something good and
pleasant to the palate.
Accordingly we repaired to the eating
saloon, and while discussing the good
things before us, we entertained each
other by relating our adventures by sea
and land.
"Did I ever tell you of that adventure
I had in New Orleans V asked Charley
Rodman, a gay, dashing, good-looking,
and really gifted young man.
"(Juess not," was the response.
"Well, will you hear it now V
"Certainly," fell from half-a-dozen lips.
"Well, then, I was working on a moru
in.r r.nr.er in Xew Orleans, during the
winter of 18, and as I was going from
the office to my boarding-house, about
'clock one niiiht, 1 was suddenly
startled by the abrupt appearance of a fe
male, who ruhed before me and threw
herself down mi my path. I was just in
the light of the street lamp, and she
turncdher face up to mine, I noticed that
she was both young and beautiful.
"Save mc, "sir! save me I" she cried,
clasping my legs frantically.
"Save you from what?" I demanded, as
I raised her to her feet. "I don't see

ply. "My mother was taken sick, and I
forced to co out for medicine, and
that's the way I came into the streets at
tn latft an hour. It couldn't be helped,
sir though I never was out so late with-
out company.

I shall be deeply indebted to you
'Certainly I will," was the response ;
"l.iit fetill there don't appear to be any
person in pursuit of you."
At that moment I heard the clatter ol
feet down the street, and turning my face
1 in that direction, I saw a man approacti-
ing the spot where we were standing, at a
rapid run.
The girl looked in the same direction
and at the same time I did.
"There he conies now !" she exclaimed
in a deep fearful whisper, at the same time
tight 1- clutching me by the arm
Suddenly turning away from
girl darted up the street.
"Stop. youur ladyi"' I cried.

the
will
protect you you need not fear.
That was rather a loud promise, under
the circumstances, but I did not stop then
to consider what I had said.
The girl did not heed me, but dashed
on, and involuntarily I followed in her
steps. After running a couple of blocks,
she stopped and looked back at me. In a
few moments I reached her side, and by
that time the man was not far behind.
"You had better come into the house,"
she said, nervously, "for 1 am sure that
man is very evil designing, and may do
you some harm."
As she spoke she mounted the steps of
a very ancient looking dwelling, and vio
lently rang the bell. I followed her, not
exactly from prudential motives, but be
cause 1 wanted to see more of her and be
cause I was foud of adventure of any kind.
Almost instan:ly the door was opened,
when I fullowed t lie youn-r woman inside.
An old hideous-looking negro woman
stood in the hall just beyond the door,
holding a lump in her hand.
"Why, what's the matter, Caroline ?"
demanded the hag.
"Shut the doorquick, I've been waylaid
by a rufiiau !"' respouded she, exciledy.
"This way, sir," she added, addressing
me, at the same time opening the parlor
door, and pointing into the room.
I bowed and passed in, and at the same
time I heard the front door closed and
lucked.
"Excuse me for a moment, sir, while I
speak to my mother I" pursued the young
girl. The next moment, before 1 had
time to reply, the door was closed and I
was left. Mione.
1 witiked to a sofa, a light was burning
in the room, and sat down. Then I took
a survey of the apartment. The furni
ture had been good in its d?.y, but then
much worn and battered.
A few minutes afterwards, the satanic
looking ncgress opened the parlor door,
aud poked her face into the room.
"Miss Canine quests the gentleman to
walk up stairs."
I began to think the proceedings rather
strange, but still my reckless spirit indu
ced nie to follow the negress.
Vp two pair of stairs and to the door
of a back apartment she led me. She
knocked and the door opened.
"Walk in, sir, if you please," she said,
very deffercutially.
1 stepped into an apartment that had
no windows in it, and was confronted by a
huge burly negro man. At the same
moment I heard the door closed and loek
ed, and for the first time began to think
seriously of danger.
"Fork ober, sar '." exclaimed the negro
abruptly and threateningly.
I carried quite a valuable watch, and
had a considerable amount of money about
me, for that night 1 had been paid off at
the office, and a really clever sum was
standim? to my account. 1 knew I had
been drawn into a den of thieves, but in
ternally resolved not to lose my propert'
without making an effort to save it, let
the consequences be what they might.
Do you mean to rob mc : 1 deman
ded resolutely.
Spect I do ?" was the unmistakeable
reply.
I wnrn vrm
said I, my blood boiling
up, "that I shall not patiently submit to
any such an outrage."
"Don't 'spect you will, ear, responded
the ncro as he oisplayed a murderous
looking knife, "but we neber do anything
by halves. We neber lets any one that
comes here go way again cause they
might tell tales."
"Would you murder me you black
thief'" I cried passionately.
"Spect I would," replied the cut-throat
with a broad grin, "l'se used to dat sort
ob business and don't mind it a bit."
I was now fully alive to the fact that I
was in a very dangerous situation, and, to
tell the truth, I felt dreadful nervous about
it. What to do I knew not. That the
"irl I had encountered was probably a
quadroon, and certainly a decoy, and that
I had been led to the house to be plun
dered, and perhaps murdered, I had every
reason to believe.
"Como, sir, fork ober, den jump down
dar !"
The rascal must have touched a spring
somewhere, for as he 6poke, a trap-door
flew open in the centre ot the floor.
I looked at the trap and then at the
negro, in doubt as to whether Iliad heard
an cm
"Ifyerjump down, sar, yo'll sabc me
de trouble of frowin' yer down !" he ad
ded fiendishly.
"You bloody rascal !" I cried, madly,
"do you think I'll deprive myself of life
just to gratify you V
"You won't do nuffiin, hey !" cried the
negro, springing at me like a wild beast;
"den take dat !"
The villain made a slashing cut at me,
but with a single bound I sprang clear to
the other side of the trap and escaped the
deadly blow.
IJoiling over with diabolical rage, the'
accursed cut-throat again sprang at me,
bounding across the pit with the spring
of madness. As his feet touched the edge,
upon which I was standing, I involuntari
ly put out my hands towards him, and
shoved him back. I hardly intended to
throw him down the pit, but down he
went, in a moment disappearing out of
sight.
I did not stop to learn the villain's fate,
for I judged that I should have more such
work on my hands before I got out of the
house, if indeed, I ever succeeded in ma
king my escape from this den of infamy
Instantly after the fall of the negro, I
ran around the pit, and sprang towards
the door. Just as I reached the door,
however, and was taking hold of the nob,
some one turned it on the other side. 1
sprang up against the wall, and in a way
that would keep me out of Mght of any
one who might enter. The next moment
the door opened, and a head was thrust
into the room. Without waiting to see
who it was, aud taking it for granted that
all in the house were arrayed against me.
T doubled my fist, and with all my strength
instantly dealt a blow at tli.j head, that
brought the person at full length to the
floor. The same moment showed me that
it was the negress:
The hag was entirely insensible, and I
forthwith dragged her into the room and
shut the door. At length my attentive
ear caught the sound of light footsteps
outside, and a moment afterwards the
do..r was again opened. This time it was
my beautiful deceiver who appeared.
The first thingher eyes seemed to encoun
ter was the prostrate form of the nc
gress, and with an exclamation of aston
ishment she darted into the room.
Quick as lighnintr I placed my back
against the door. The movement at once
attracted the girl's attention to me.
"Now my lady !" I hissed out for I
was excited "you and I must have an
understanding. You led me into this
infernal den by your tricks, and you have
got to show me the way out of it, or by i
all my hopes, yonder black pit shall be
your grave. Any way I may lose my
life ; and I am as desperate as a man can
be. You see the old hag cannot help 3011
just now I" I added pointing to the still
insensible negress ; "and the villian who
was here, and would have taken my life,
lies at the bottom of the pit."
The girl looked bewildered and exclaim
ed :.
"I could not help it, sir. Indeed I am
forced to do so."
"That matters not to me," I added, in
credulously, "can yoa conduct me out of;
this house" ?"
"Yes, sir," was the eager reply.
"Will you do it 7" 1 demanded inflexi-
bly.
"I will, sir," she responded earnest-
-y-
"Then lead on," I added, pointing to
the door. "But mark you if I see a sign
of treachery, or notice the least effort to
create an alarm, I'll tear vou limb from
limb !"
I was strong and wild, and meant what
I said, and the girl saw it.
"There is no one else in the house, I
assure you," she responded.
"Lead the way," I said hardly credit
inr her words.
The girl passed from the room, when I
locked the door, put the key in my pock
et, and followed close behind her. No
lights were visible anywerc except in the
room we had just left: but keeping the
-"it1 riirht before mc, and within reach of
my hands, I stepped along. In a few
moments we reached the front door. The
r-irl stopped a moment and got a key from
some hiding place, the next moment how
ever, she opened the door, and I sprang
outside, thanking (jod tor my preserva
tion.
Without a word, even without a look
behind me, I started away, hardly conscious
of the direction I pursued. L found my
way to my boarding house, however, and
at the earliest hour practicable, laid the
wlu.lo matter before the authorities. Fi
nally I led a party of police to the house
V,.t. l.Aimr sihle to obtain admittance 111
thf usual manner, the. do .rs were forced
Everything in the house remained undis
turbed, but not a soul was to be found,
high or low. The traps however, were soon
discovered, and it was found upon exami
nation, that there was a euccceaiou of traps,
which conducted to a deep murkj- pit in
the cellar. The house had evidently been
the haunt of robbers for a long time.
At the bottom of the pit we. found the
mangled aud mutilated remains of the
negro, and a heap of flesh less bones. I
shuddered to think what might have been
my fate, and congratulated myself on my
fortunate escape. I had evidently been
more favored than many others. That is
all gentlemen.
"A very good story, very well told,"
said I, as llodman concluded.
"And true, gentlemen whether
believe it or not."

Medical Use of Salt. lu many ca
ses of disordered stomach, a tea-spoonful
of salt is a certain cure. In violent in
ternal aching termed cholie, add a tea
spoonful of salt to a pint of cold water
drink it and
go to
bed : it is one oi the
speediest remedies known. The same will
revive a person who seems almost dead
from receiving a heavy fall.
In an apoplectic fit, no time should be
lost in pouring down salt and water, if
sufficient sensibility remain to allow the
swallowing if not, the head must be
sponged with cold water until the senses
return, when the salt will immediately re
store the patient from the lethargy.
In a fit, the feet should be j'laeed in
warm water, with mustard added, and the
loii's briskly rubbed, all bandages removed 1
from the neck, and a cool apartment pro
cured if possible. In many cases of se
vere bleeding at the lungs, and when
other remedies fail, Dr. Hush fbuii-i two
tea-spoonsful of salt completely stayed the
blood.
In cases of bite from a a mad dog, wash
the rart with strong brine for an hour,
ami then bind on some salt with a rag.
In toothache, warm salt aud water held
to the part and renewed two or three
times, will relieve in most cases. If the
gums be affected, wash the mouth with
brine; if the teeth be covered with tartar,
wash them twice a day wiili suit and wa
ter. In a swelled neck, wash the part with
brine, and drink it also twice a day until
cured.
Salt will expel worms if used in the
food in a moderate degree, and aids diges
tion ; but salt meat is injurious if used
too much. ciinftji: American.

Science in Natup-e. It is a remark
able and very iijs-truciive lact, that many
of the most important operations of nature
are cai ried n in unbroken silence. There
is no rushing sound when the proud tide
of sunlight breaks on a dark world, aud
floods it with glory, as oue bright wave
after another falls from the fountain, mil
lions of miles away. "There is no creak
ing of heavy axles or groaning of cum
brous machinery, as the solid earth wheels
on its way, and every planet and system
perform o its revolutions, the great trees

themselves with buds,and the buds burst in
to flowers, but the whole transaction is un
heard. The change from snow and win
try winds to the blossoms and fruit and
sunshine of summer, is seen in slow de
velopment, but there is scarcely a sound
to tell of the mighty transformation.
The solemn chant of the ocean, as it rais

roar of the hurricane, and the soft notes

Etiquette or Equitation. .
When a gentleman is to accompany a
lady on horseback :
1st. There must be two horses. (Pil
lions are out of fashion, except in some
parts of Wales, Australia and New Jersey.)
2d. One horse must have a side-saddle.
The gentleman will not mount this horse.
IJy bearing this in mind, he will soon find
no difficulty in recognizing his own steed.
3d. The gentleman will assist the lady
to mount, and adjust her foot in the stir
rup. There being but one stirrup, he will
learn upon which side to assist the lady
after very little practice.
4th. He will then mount himself. As
there are two stirrups to his saddle, he
may mount on either side. But by no
means on both. At leat, not at the same
time. The former is generally considered
the most graceful method of mounting.
If lie has known 3Ir. ltarty, he may mount
without the aid of stirrups. If not, ho
may try, but he will probably fail. Should
he wiah to display a sportive eccentricity,
he may climb up the animal's tail.
5th. The gentleman should always ride
on the right side of the lady. According
to some authorities, the right side is the
left. According to some others, the oth
er is the right. If the gentleman be left
handed, this will, of course, make a dif
ference. Should Lc be an ambidexter, it
will be different.
Gth. If the gentleman and lady meet
persons on the road, these will probably
be strangers. That is, if they are not ac
quaintances. In either case, the lady and
gentleman must govern themselves accor
dingly. Perhaps the latter is the evi
evidence of the highest breeding.
7th. If they be going in different direc
tions, they will not be expected to ride in
company. Nor must these request those
to turn and join the others. And vice
versa. This is indecorous and indicates a
want of snioir vivrc.
8th. If the gentleman's horse throws
him, he must not expect to pick him up;
Lnor the laav. ut otnerwise me iaay
may. This is important to be borne in
mind by both.
9th. On their return, the gentleman
will dismount first and assist the lady
from her horse. But he must not expect
the same courtesy in return.
10th. There are three ways of dismount
ing a lady. First with the knee. Tlus
is the wa3'-respectful-and-ceremonious.
Second, by receiving the lady in your
arms. This is the way gallant and tender.
Third, by presenting your shoulders, and
carrying the lady to the the door or ves
tibule, "pick-a-back." This is the way-humorous-and-familiar.
N. li. The rules apply equally to every
specics of equitation ; as pony -riding,
donkey-riding, goat-riding, rocking-horse-riding,
