• M. \ The Daily News and Herald. SAVANNAH, WEDNESDAY, KAY 9, 1868. Old Letter.. The rain was blowing in quick white gusts ; With yellow leaves the air was darkling ; The storm was moaning of death and graves ; No moon dared shine, no star was sparkling. The elms were roaring around the house With a frantic grief and wild despair ; The wind gave a warning B inshee wail From the beggared wood that was all but bale. Then I opened the casket once ao dear. And took out the letters I’d kissed so oft; The paper was still by the rose-leaf tinged ; Its breath was like hers—so sweet and so soft. Slowly as one at a sacrifice. With face averted, I fed the flame : Ruthless and cruel, the serpent tongues, Swift and eager and leaping, came. Hopes and joys, they were dreams and air! I sat down sad by ray funeral pile, And heard the roar of the ruthless fire. And “(Sod forgive her I moaned the while. There was a blaze and a crimson glare, A wavering pyramid tall and keen ; Then came a waft of smouldering smoke. That rose in a circling vapory screen. Meleager's fagot—so went my life, v Spring and Summer, and Autumn, too'; Its daybreak promise, its riper thoughts, Its tears of sorrow, its sunshine dew. I sat like a mourner beside the pile ; All X had loved had passed away ; Nothing for me but to hope for flowers To bloom and gladden my burial clay. There lay my life—a clinking heap Of curling ashes that fell to naught, A glitter of one or two passing sparks— That was all that my love had brought. IN GEKEKAL. —Josh Billings says : “I never could fiudthe mean ing of the word ‘collide’ in Worcester or Webster ; but riding the other day on the New York Central Rail road I saw it all.

His neck was dislocated, and death must have been instantaneous. —A Protestant gentleman being triumphantly asked by a Roman Catholic, “ Where was your church before Luther?” replied: ‘-Did you wash your face this morning?” -‘Yes.” “Well, then where was yoor face before it was washed ?” —It is now stated that Dr. Winship can lift threo thousand younds, which is the limit that he prescribed for himself at the commencement of Uia experiments, after which he was to repose on his laurels. —Gen. Averill, of cavalry fame In the war, has sued Leonard W.
