Sudden Death.—Mr. Henry Myers, who
had been driving stage for Messrs. Chidester,
Rapley & Co., on the Des Arc and Fort Smith
f line, during the past twelve months died sud
denly at the Des Arc Hotel, in Des Arc, on
Wednesday evening last. Mr. Myers had
j complained of being unwell during the fore
i noon, and soon after took his bed. A phy
sician had visited him, when he was seized
with an apoplectic fit and died in a short
time. His age was about 42.years- We
learn that the deceased was formerly of Staun
ton, Augusta county, Virginia, near which
place he has two daughters and other relatives.
At one time he was in the employ of Edwin
Porter &. Co.,'and drove teams out of Staunton
and Warm Springs. Mr. Myers was highly
esteemed as a trustworthy and industrious gen
tleman. At the time of his death, he was within
a few days of leaving for Virginia—had
settled up his business, and made all necessary
preparations for his departure. Ilis effects
are in the hands of gentlemen who will take
care of them until his relatives send for them.
For any information in reference to the de
ceased, his relatives or friends are requested
to address the editor of this paper. | INDEXED

The Voice of Masonry, Louisville, Ky.
This excelleut journal makes its appearance
in a new dress, much enlarged its capacity
nearly doubled, and its editorial corps strength
ened. It is now one of the handsomest sheets
in the country.
In the number before us appears a commu
nication from Mr. Cooke, the corresponding
Editor, who has commenced a tour through
Europe and Asia, in pursuit of Masonic intel
ligence. The article is very entertaining.
The Voice of Masonry is certainly the
perfection of journalizing in that department
and no one can hesitate to stamp it a vigorous,
sound and reliable exhibit of the affairs of the
Craft. Price only one dollar per annum.

Rather Uncomfortable.—An Eng
lish genllcman writes thus from Venice:
“We are in an uncomfortable state here,
truly: A French fleet outside—proclama
tions inside, staling that, at the smallest
symptoms of insurrection, the city will be
subjected to fire and sword ; and that any
body ringing church-bells, waving a flag,
making a signal of any kind, will be
immediately shot, without the formality of
a trial. The excitement I find to be a
most excellent thing for a sluggish liver—
Jl beats calomel all hollow. The Vigilant,
a fine vessel of four guns, is here, opposite
me Piazetla and my residence. They
have dances on board ut times, and it is
Grange to hear and see English hornpipes
by the light of the ship lanterns,
•'h the glorious old palace of Saint Mark
a jhe distance. All the hotels are empty,
there i« no table d’hote."

roofs of eleven adjoining houses on one street
were burnt off.
-The remarkable exemption of the city
of New Orleans from yellow fever this year
thus far, it is believed, is due to the long-con
tinued overflow of the Mississippi rivir. The

is full of blazes at every point with ribands,
stars and orders of every kind. Conspicuous
among them all, in his plain evening dress and
snow-white hair, is the American Minister,
Mr. Dallas, a striking type, if we may so call
him, of the simple institutions of the great
Republic which he represents so well.”
Metternich and the Present War.—It
is said that the dying advice of Prince Met
ternich to Francis Joseph, in relation to the
present war was this: “Defeat is not destruc
tion; a city, a fortress, may be rebuilt—an
empire never. Listen to no advice—hearken
to no proposition of peace—and. above all
enter into no treaty whatever, either with the
| Bonapartes or the House of Savoy.”

LINES WRITTEN ON THE DEATH
OF A CHILD.
Short, like the meteor’s blaze,
That lights the frowning sky,
When darkness shrouds the gaze
Of Vision’s piercing eye,
Was Jeanette’s course on earth :
She bloomed a moment here,
Her parents’ hearts to cheer ;
Then bade adieu to life,
And left its toils and strife,
To join a happier birth.
Her beauty, like a flower,
Bloomed for a single day,
With the fragrance of an hour,
Which the Zephyr sweeps away
To grace a sweeter clime ;
Her life was like a dream,
A bubble on the stream,
Which swiftly fled from sight,
To the shadow of the night,
To return no more in time.
She closed her eyes in sleep,
To ope them with the blest,
And angels vigil keep,
Around her place of rest,
Beneath the mossy sod :
Weep not for one so young,
For sinless was her tongue ;
The world had not betrayed,
And her feet had never strayed
From the narrow path to God.
After our few fleet years
Of earthly toil and pain,
Beyond this vale of tears,
Joyful we’ll meet again,
Where Death no more can’scver:
Where Jeanette intercedes,
And for our pardon pleads,
We’ll mount On pinions bright,
To that promised worm ot ngnc,
Nor part again for ever.

-John Knox, the Scotch reformer, receiv
ed the news of the massacre of St. Bartholomew
when on his deathbed, and prayed that no
French King might ever have a son to sit on
his throne (see McCrie’s Life of Knox.) Has

heir?
-The Paris Constitutional says it has
reason to know that it is the intention of the
Government to employ the Austiian prisoners
in making railways in Algeria.
