HAYNE The passionate Summer's dead! the sky's aglow With roseate flushes of matured desire- The winds at eve are musical and low, As sweeping chords of a lamenting lyre, Far up among the pillared clouds of fire, Whose pomp of grand procession upward rolls With gorgeous blazonry of pictured scrolls, To celebrate the Summer's past renown. Ah! me! how regally the Heavens look down, O'ershadowing beautiful Autumnal woods, And mellow fields with harvest's increase brown, And deep-toned majesty of golden floods, That lift their solemn voices to the sky, Swelling the purple pomp that floateth by. Shot and Shell At the base of the central pillar of the City Library Hall, stands a group, not of sculpture, not modelled or chiselled out by artistic hand, but cast in the heat of a fiery furnace. It is a group of shot and shell. The furnace moaned that uttered the molten iron, the mould hissed ere the final lock of wood and clay that bore into the breathing world these implements of death. Around them Saturday-freed children play and prattle. Pale- faced readers and reading made sickly men, sit bending over books. The Librarian glides noiselessly from case to desk, unlocking the treasures of the learned. Books by the thousands stand storied in shelves and stare outward day and night. There is not one book among these thousands that records struggle and turmoil, that are the history of lives, the chronicle of death-tales of the living, mementoes of the dead-not one book among these all records such deeds of war as these silent but expressive symbols of the Destroying Angel's power, that stand grim in rust and dark in view, grouped at the base of the pillar. They stand there, spelling out war, death and destruction. Not one of the visitors to the Library, who enter the door, that do not see that group; not one that does not give a long look at the shot and shell. Even the daily visitor does not get used to it, even he is conscious of the presence each time that he goes in or comes out. The widow in her weeds sighs as she looks at this coat of arms of Moloch, and reflects upon the stalwart man that the soldier's grave refuses to give up. Tears come to relieve the eyes of the orphan at sight of these dread symbols of a father's death. All stand aloof. Some soldier who has seen and heard these members of the family of death may stoop down and explain that "this is a parrot," this a twelve pound or twenty-four pound round shot, may interlard the explanation of how he has heaved them at Malvern Hill, at Charleston or Vicksburg, but his hearers turn away long before he has finished, sick with the memory of the unforgotten dead lying on the field with crushed skull and horrid mangled form. These shot went screaming through the air, shrieking and bellowing, booming and moaning in their course, as of some bat-winged fiend, just cut loose from hell, goes shrieking and flapping his wings. At their approach regiments bent their heads, as corn swats in a light wind. A feeling of deep gratitude, if they hear it fall harmless, spouting up the earth as if it were water; of pain, as they hear it strike human flesh; of horror, as the lacerated form is borne to the rear. At the foot of that pillar is their fit place. Peace dwells in the quiet library. Reading the deeds of heroes and reading the Illiad, the great written works where man is prompted to emulate the deeds of warrior and soldier, the student is called back again to the Illiad-the American Iliad of woes, through which he has just passed, by a glimpse at that group as the foot of the pillar; that group of shot and shell. Let them be constantly before the wye. When the unholy lust of ambition is stirred rise ye group of shot and shell, and the memories of the war will leave behind, not only the dismantled fortress and the battered fort, not only the wreck of manhood that is seen in the persons of the slain, but the ruined hearthstone, the burning house, the ashes of the household, the loved ones driven forth to live cold in the charities of the world, the prostitution of great cities, whither the ruined family speeds, of ruin, devastation, death after a storm, heaths blackened by gunpowder and the shock of battle; all the horrors, terrors, dread reality of war follow in the air, traced-track of shot and shell, God in mercy send Death to us all in any other shape. Let the ocean close over us-heap mountains on us; may the air we Americans breathe never again be rifted by shot and shell. The monuments to the great are mounds of human bones. All may be laid to the account of shot and shell, credited with the living to be slaughtered, debted with the soldier to be borne to the soldier's grave. Gen. Howard's Advice to the Freedmen. Gen. Howard, Chief of the Freedmen's Bureau, during his recent tour in Virginia, delivered an address to the colored people, in the African Church, Lynehburg. He advised them all to make contracts with their former masters or others, and when they had made them to keep them-observe them to the letter; be faithful, industrious, obedient, and thus to live down the predictions of many that they were unfit for freedom. The General cautioned them against erroneous and exaggerated ideas of what freedom was; that it brought with it to them responsibilities and cares that they had never known before; that they would have to work hard and constantly to provide for themselves and families, but that they could get along very well if they would be energetic, honest, and provident. He urged upon them with great earnestness to do right; try in all cases to find out what is right; to study and labor and pray to ascertain it, and then to do it. He alluded to the fallacious idea which some entertained that the lands of the South would be parceled among them by the Government at Christmas. This idea, he told them, was utterly without foundation, and to discard it from their minds. The Government had no lands to give; it had no right to take them from their owners, and it would not be best if it had the right; and that if lands were given them now with their want of experience in managing for themselves and lack of means they would not find it to their advantage, and would, most probably, soon be cheated out of them by sharpers. The best thing now was to work for others faithfully, learn experience, be industrious and economical, and try to save enough from their wages to buy themselves homes after awhile. He urged them to educate their children, and bring them up to correct and useful lives. The General alluded to the pernicious advice which had been given them by mischievous persons, such as, "If a white man pushes you off the sidewalk, push him off too; if he strikes you, strike him back again," etc. This, said the General, is all wrong. They must remember not to violate the teachings of the blessed Savior, of whom they had been hearing; who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he was smitten on one cheek turned the other. Mexico.-By a census of 1803, the population of this empire was over 5,000,000; and it had only increased to 8,000,000 in 1853. Of the native population, in 1856, it is estimated that there were 1,000,000 whites of European descent; 4,000,000 Indians; 600 negroes; the remainder, of over 3,000,000, being mixed races. A curious medley, truly! A Speck of Danger.-The minutest black spot on the enamel of a tooth, is an evidence that decay's effacing finger has touched it. Quickly interpose the Sozodont as a safeguard, or the tooth is gone-and not only that one, but perhaps half- a-dozen. Be assured that nothing but Sozodont will either effectually prevent or arrest dental disease. Try the great remedy for baldness, Oil of Palm and Mace. For sale by T.W. Wright, successor to J. Wright & Co., 36 Bienville street.
