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.— llamiUon [C.
