The vanished dream—that bright sweet
dream.
Which, like the sunlight after gloom,
With joy and gladness in its gleam
Gilding with gold even the tomb—
Awoke my heart to hopes so bright ! ;
But now ’tis gone—again ’tis night !
Too sweet, too rapturous the bliss
That she should be all, all my own 1
I feared —hut then, with love’s warm kiss,
She scaled the oath of love slic’d sworn
With look which seemed as true as life,
She whispered, “Darling, I’m your wife!"
As devotee his offerings bring,
And lays them on his idol's shrine,
I, day by day, on love s swift wing,
Did to this precious one of mine
Bring all my heart’s full wealth complete.
And lay it ali—ail at her feet.
Whene’er she smiled, my heart was glad •
But should a shade Iter face o’ercast,
My very goul it) gloom was clad
Until Ihe shadows all had passed.
And'thus I lived, and thus caressed
My precious one—and thus was blessed !
But now! oh, God! how great my woe!
How deep and ray less my despair!
I Asleep—awake—w here’er 1 go,
There’s not a hope my gloom to share!
She knew my love had no restraint—
Yet e’en that love, she termed— complaint!
Thesa hands of mine brought not a stone
To build the cruel wall between ;
“More love! more love!" this, this alone
I asked of her, my soul’s own queen.
God knows my heart, how true it feels—
To Him 1 make my last appeals !
Without a hope—no word to cheer—
Without an object now in life—
Without a heart my heart to share—
Without a loved and loving wife—
’Twill not be long—the waiting tomb
Will end this aching, aching gloom!
And when we meet in Heaven’s own light,
Where each can see as each is seen,
I’ll show to her supernal sight
Just what my heart has always been:
She’ll see warm love in each recess—
For her alone .'—its fault— excess !

Leaving Charleston Tuesday. 11 p.nt.
on steamer City Point, Oapt Fitzger
ald. for Pilatka. Fla . we were defamed
several hours awaiting arrival of steam
er Champion, which had arrived oft the
Bar her ttsual time, hnf could not get
over until high water, some three hours
Inter Fifty or more passengers were
transferred to our vessel, making our
number over a hundred, and with
smooth water inside of bar, our ship
steamed away down the coast, outside
bar we at once encountered the long
swell of the Atlantic, and the pitching
of the vessel soon caused t any passen
gers to seek their stale rooms, where
they remained until we reached Savan
nah. YYe remained at Savannah sever
al hours.
At the entrance of Charleston Har
bor is Morris’ Island liirht ; 30 miles
below is St. Eleanor light, then, the
Light Ship, at Fort Royal ; following
which Tybee light, ent-anoe to Savan
nah ; Doboy light, Darien. 05a.. St. Si
mon's light, Brunswick. Ga; St. An
drew’s light, below Brunswick ; next
are the four lights of Fernandin i—all
rnmje lights, being obliged to run t' e
vessel so as to show two and two. each
as one fiffht, ere changing course for
entering channel. Fernandina imme
dinfely on the bank of Amelia river, is
seven miles from the bar, and seems to
he rather an antiquated place St M *
ry’s. Ga., is nearly opposite entrance,
about ten miles on St. Mary’s river f
the town can readily be seen The
Harbor of Fernandina is said to be one
of the safest and easiest of access in the
State. The Railroad across the State
to Cedar Keys and the Gulf. fermin>
ates here. Then follows the lights of
St. John’s bar, which bar is one of the
most difficult on the coast, being shal
low water; here they keep the lead go
ing without intermission so long as we
were going over, the mate heaves and
calls out to Pilot, “twenty, twelve, ten,
ten, ten, nine half! ten, ten! twelve!
fifteen ! sixteen ! !’’ all right and we
are over. Mount St. Amelia, mouth of
St, John’s, is said to be the highest
land on coast south of Sandy Hook. —
Here is a large hotel in the midst ofj
live oaks. The fine view of the ocean, j
splendid drives and salubrious air,make
it u desirable place for invalids. The I
little towns on St. John’s river open iu
quu-k succession, anil as we advana* 1
the scenery changes each moment.close
ly resembling the Potomac i.t many
characteristics, a'nd to say that it is
beautiful only, does not express it a'
till—i f is lovely. The back lands here
are elevated and undulating, bordered
to the edge of the water by the insepnr
aide marsh flat. The river up to Pa
latka will average four miles in width,
and the beautiful bays formed by the
curves in the river are constantly]
changing, showing new beauties eaelt j
moment. The current of the St John’s]
is quite sluggish, fully as much water l
flttws in as flows out. There are on tin |
shore of this part of the river tt.anyj
fishing stations, and from the sign of
“Smith & Kemp,” we learn they are
dealers in “shad, mullet, whiting, etc.”
In one long bend of the river at this
point, there is a light, house built on
piles in the center of the river.
“Mandarin,” situated on h ft bank of
river going up, is the residence of “Har
riot Beocher Stowe,” who, with her
daughters and hu-band, were among
the passengers. They were met Ly a
host of darkies with a general shaking
of hands all around. Harriet has a
pretty place, and everything seems to
he in fine order. The Orange grove
(the first I had seen,) was in splendid
order. I notice very little change in
the color of foliage caused by the fall
season. At Picolata there are exten
sive orange groves, and hundreds of
barrels of oranges are now coming on
board of our boat freighted North, it
heing night when the boat returns,they
tlo not stop.
At “Toeoy” i.s the terminus of the
St. John’s Railroad to St. Augustine,
f r which place we have a number of
passengers. This Road is fourteen
miles in length, in very bad oritur, and
far: s*. with ihe opti-rr -f-w .* „uty,
just as you please: (Thu landings now
multiply so rapidly I cannot take time
to name them, cash individual having
a half dozen barrels of oranges to ship
build- a wharf! and is offended shot Id
the steamer gi' - e it the go by; the boa: |
stopped at four of these wharves in a
less distance than one mile !!)
The Orange groves on the St. Solin’s
are quite numerous: some of the oldest
and largest trers. in full bearing, have
on then) from twenty-five hundred to
three thousand oranges, and what sur
prised me no little, this ripe, fruit can
remain on the trees from now, (when it
commences to ripen.) until the follow
ing July, in February however, as the
sap of the tree descends, this ripe fruit
becomes less juicy and somewhat insip
id. but as soon as the sap rises again the
fruit resumes its former richness and
flavor. This property of remaining on
the tree such a length of time a fiords
the proprietor opportunity to avoid
glutting the market. I. this morning
counted the oranges on several young
trees above I’alatka, and found them to
average throe hundred to the tree. The
brilliant, yellow of the fruit contrasts
strongly with the bright green of the
leaves. J. T. \V.

150 Lashcg,
A Mississippi correspondent tells the
following anecdote as having actually
occurred in his neighborhood :
‘•During slavery, a smart negro hoy
i undertook to answer a question pro
poundel by a follow servant as to why
it was that a man in threatening to whip
a negro always told him he would
give him a hundred and fifty lashes, o;
a hundred lashes ?
He said—" When do L rd made
Adam and Eve, He tuck and put ’em
in a great big garden, an’ TTe tolo Adam
an’ Eve dey must cat all do water-mill

an’ arter a while dey cum to de Lord’s

Kuintisek itiul tlie Fiddler.
On board the steamer Indiana, in
one of her trips down the AS ississippi,
were a number of good-natured passen
ger. they Were seeking to while
away the hours according to their sev
eral notions of pleasure, and would have
c>t on very well but for one annoyance.
There happened to be on board a Floo
sier from the Wabash, who was going
“ib wn ' Orleans,” and lie bad provid
ed binis'll’with an old violin, fancying
that be c u!'l fiddle as well as anybody;
and planting himself where he would
attract notice scraped away. The fel
low ( old got fiddle any more than a
setting hen. and the horrible noise dis
turbed Vi is fellow passengers excessive
ly A Frenchman, of very delicate
n rves, and a very fine musical ear, was
especially annoyed. He fluttered, fidg*
it ted and swore at tho ‘ .-acre” fiddle.
The pii-sengcrs tried various experi
ment* t" rid themselves of the Hoosier
and his fiddle, it was no go; “he would
music just as long as lie d—d please.”
At last a big Kentuckian sprang from
his seat, saying, -‘I reckon I’ll fix him,’
placed himself near the amateur fiddler,
and commenced braying with all his
might. The effect of the move was be
yond description. Old Kentuck’ bray,
ed so loud that he drowned thescreech
ing of the fiddle, and amid the shouts
of the passengers, the discomfitted
Hoosier retreated below, leaving tho
victory of the unequal contest with the
Kentuckian and his singular imj.romf,
(a imitation of Balaam's friend. The
Frenchman knew no bounds; quiet was
restored fur the day. During the night
the Kentuckian left tho boat. Tho
next morning after breakfast, the pa
sengers were startled by the discordant
sound of tin ir old tormentor. Hoosier
had discovered that the coast was clear
and was bound to revenge himself on
the passengers. Loud, and worse than
ever screamed the fiddle. The French
man, just seated to read *his papers, as
the first sound rose, looked anxiously
around, shrugged his shoulders a> <J
then shouted, "Yure is he ! vare is he!
Queeck —queeek ! Mon Dieu ! A are
is Monsieur Kentuck, de man vat play*
ed on de jackass !”
A western ed t r runs it thusly :
His foot upon the trigger,
The muzzle in his ear.
A movement of the lit tic toe,
And his head did disappear.
Gone where the grasshopper lingereth not.
