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 ! ORIGINAL."^ Letter from Florida. Florida— What I see There. Mu. Editor : 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 ions. mush-millions, cow cumbers and ’matises an’ sieh like, what growed in de garden, but do Lord tuck Adam an’ Eve ’round an’ show’d ’em His par tree, an’ tide ’em dal was His tree, uu’ dey uiuso’t te h a par, if dey did He was gwine to take Adam down and give him hundred and fifty lashes, an’ gwine to give her hundred lashes , den de Lord He went off, an’ Adam an' Eve dey went ’bout de garden, eaten’ apples an’ peaches an’ water-millions— an’ arter a while dey cum to de Lord’s tree, an’ Eve found a par which had done drapped, an’ she bit it an’ found it wa* putty good, and she giv Adam j gum, an’ tier, dev knocked eui de Lord si mr*'Jtivrn r > flrnpn uo j,oru t;c cum i u - * . / * “ink Ifo found Ilia tree was done ■tripped ; tell you what, den de Lord •vas mad !

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.
