Dreaming of a Wife.
I (it l> my choir by lac hUiing flro,
And I dot* away my life,
Aad IN* laughing flam** leap higher and
high*?,
Al I dream of a littla mile;
On my thoolder ( feed • pressure tweet.
And arm* like the enow—oh, whiter!
A hoot my neck in a warm «la*p meet,
And the turn tub brighter and
brighter.
And riaglet* of gold poor over my faoe
Aa my head to bar noaom'a pillow,
Siak* down in a cload of perfumed laee
That heave* like foam on the billow ;
And I hear har warm heart’a quickouiug
heat.
And her aye* glow bright at Bra,
Aa my lips are covered with kiaaet sweet,
And the flame* leap highor and higher.
A soft eheck nestles close to my own,
Aad the sweet Smiles o’er it chase;
Like aundrops upon a calm lake thrown,
liar dimples the smiles efface ;
A lute-like laugh, and her swelling breast
Heave joyout—higher and higher ;
How happy my lot, and how aweet my
east,
With a wife in front of the fire.
And I drink her beauty into my heart,
And the love-light of her eyes ;
With a crash the red brands fall apart—
My wife up the chimney flies.
Thus oft in my chair by the biasing fire
I dose away my lift,
And the mocking flautea laugh higher and
higbor
At my dream of love and a wife.
Mormokisk.—No threats of violence,
no warnings of assassination, have mod
ified the unsparing boldness wilh which
the editor of the Sait Dike City Vedette
has denounced the leaders of the Mor
mon hierarchy. lie has defied all
shapes and forms of vengeance—but
one. llis timorous side has beeu dis*
covered, and thus he confesses himself
subdued; “‘Now,’ as the lark said to
her young ones, ‘it is time for 11s to
to leave!’ We could stand the ’bloody
hand’ and the ‘skedaddle,’ or the other
warnings, bat the following gets us.
J ust count us out.
Sai.t Lark Citt, April 9, 1866.
Mr. Editor Vedette—lf you don’t
quit abusing Stenhouseand the Mormons
we’ll come and marry you. We don’t
‘mean blood,’ but we won’t stand it to
have Steubouse maligned ; so you look
out. Mormon Wombs.
We weaken on the turn. Will some
one take our place ? ‘27 Mormon Wo
men.’ P-h-e-w! We apologize. We
don't edit the Vedette —Stenhouse is a
good fellow—a brave man—nud he can
look a dog in the face I Besides he nev
er did borrow a pair of brass knuckles.
‘27 M ,’ O Lord, have mercy up
on us miserable sinnersl Don't shoot
this way! We are not the man! 27 wives
We’ll go!”
Patti axd Strakosch.—Patti is now
worth $300,000 in gold ; her father as
much, approximately; and Maurice
Strakosch, the making and the made of
them, ought to be worth half a million.
A sweet Shylock is Maurice in art, and
I cannot forbear telling you the part he
played in the salons of Rothschild. Pat
ti,- you know, goes out to gentlemen's
houses of nights to sing, and gets, there
for, clever sums. At first, in the flush
and heyday of her coming, she demand
ed, through Maurice, as much as 10,000
francs per night. She is now willing to
sing for 5,000, (and once, I am sorry to
say, consented to appear with Theresa,
the ballad woman). Rothschild, on a
certain night, not long ago, had it ar
ranged with Maurice Strakosch that he
should produce Patti at the. banker’s
place, where she should sing two selec
tions fur two thousand dollars. The
night came; the guests were of the
froth of Rochefort; Patti surprised her
self. When she had done, there went
up a cry of encore. “Baron,” said the
ladies, “won’t Mademoiselle Patti sin"
again?'’ “Certainly,” said the banker
“Monsieur Strakosch, Miss Patti will
repeat ‘N’est cepasl’” “The same?”
said Monsieur Strakosch, “the same all
round t" The Baron, now observing the
feel of money in Maurice’s eyes, answer
ed, “Yes, the same:” meaning the mu
sic. In consequence, Patti sung like
lightning; the whole room rocked
with her melody; it was a wonderful
joy. But next day, Maurice Strakosch
sent in a bill to Rothschild at the rate of
ten thousand francs for every two chan
sons. The banker paid it. but it cured
him of his infatuation, and he goes no
longer to see Patti. —Paris Corns. A’
Y. World.
Read this, Bondiioi.dkus !—The
late rapid decline in United States
securities in England has excited
considerable surprise. When wo read
the incendiary speeches of the Rad
ical leaders, however, their open
threats of civil war and fixed determi
nation to regard the Southern States as
conquered provinces, and not ns a por
tion of a restored Union, we can scarce
ly wonder at this decline. Until the
dillicully at present existing between
the President and the Congress is set
tled, confidence cannot be expected to
revive. Capitalists will not care to
invest their money in a country so torn
l>y political differences and unsettled by
political uneasiness. We learn that in
vestments in United States securities
have almost ceased, not only in London,
but also in Frankfort, the quotations
being almost entirely nominal. At the
same time all other securities maintain
their prices, Austria included, which
arc deemed more worthy ot confidence
than those of the American Republic,
The consequence of the decline in
American securities in Europe will,
in duo course of time, be u correspond
ing depression in the States, coupled
with u depreciation in the currency, and
consequent rise in the price of gold.
And all this is the result of the bluster
ing vaporing of the Radical party, their
constantly reiterated threats of war with
Great Britain, and their evident deter
mination to prevent any reconciliation
of the adverse parties in the States.—
