There are event in 111b that turn, Durlnc their brief existence, etngls Which, when returning as a dream la alter years, appear to mingle. Like those small hand, that singly move Around upon our dial faces But which the hoars and mlnatee prove Do often blend as one la places. Soma years ago, in May or June, Aa I was through a garden walking With a dear child one afternoon. Listening to the youngster talking, I happened carelessly to tread Qn a small floorer, that few aurpsssa A violet, that reared ka head Among some weeds aad common graa.ua. I stooped to sea what harm was dona The fair one, oa its lonely mission And, by its style and fragrance woo.

Felt pained to learn its true condition. The weeds and grass I brushed aside, Aad, drawing up its part together, I left the crushed one to abide Its fihanoes of the com lug weather. A week benoe, passing near that way, I sought It out, when I discovered The flower was dead its body lay Beneath the weeda that o'er it hovered. It was aa accident, I know. To a mere plant, yet I regret lt And su bee quel.

events do show I am not likely to forget it. Since then, my darling baby boy. Who with me through the grounds stray Ids, Has also died and worms destroy The band, that with that plant ware playing. Over his grave the flowers bloom. And fall aad die for the aame reason When strangers' feet around ale tomb Tiead down those flower la their mason.

Drath baa to me forever hnabed A voice, la which my soul delighted Aad tbua my footsteps rudely eruahed A Joy, that by the world waa alighted. Lihe that young fragile flower, my child Had barely tasted of Ufa's pleasures Yet, la bia death, he eareetly smiled Amidst the wreck of broken Whene'er I turn toward the aod. That screens from me his fsoe once cheering. To watch the growth of flowers that God, Tbroogh ear ejections, there la rearing, A tbr-tirht of that lost violet Before me like a shadow courses; Te mingle la the deep regret My heart endures for recent lamas. Perhaps, if I had fondly aursed la life the plant, which death ha cherished.

The wound that it received at first Bad healed again it bad not perished. Or If when toft thus to decay. It had found elsewhere love to win it. My wounded heart woo id have to-day One torrow lass enshrined within It, Mbad. LABOR A DUTYAND A.

NECESSITY. Thht there is no roysJ roa4 to leBraing all Admit; bat most persona act npon the idea that the road to wealth is the one with least obstructions End which requires the least labor. Yet acquisitions are seldom procured without unremitting industry. Difficulties are eon stantly appearing' in tie path, and it is only by patient and steady attention, watchfulness and labor that these are overcome. It is true that it sometimes happens that accident throws in the way of a few indi-TidualsjMculiar advantages, so that wealth flows in upon them almost without an effort to procure it but such instances are few and far between." Nine Lundred and ninety-nine out of a thousand of such as acquire a mere competence obtain it only after years of persevering labor.

Folly only can induce men to stand listlessly by the road side, hoping to have greatness or wealth thrust npon them. If they would enjoy either, they must toil for it only by being useful and valuable members of society, can they reasonably hope Jor it. One would expect the young and inexperienced to imagine that Fortune will come to them without an effort to open the way for her. Yet we find old men, whose experience should have taught them better, standing idly by the road side, trusting to be taken up by her, when she reaches their vicinity. When things go badly with a man's private fortune, nothing but watchfulness and constant attention can avert still greater misfortune.

It will not do for him to fold his arms and wait for a change of luck." Ill luck is merely ill management, and he must make this good management, or his fortunes will go from bad to worse-How can he stand still while the current is sweepitg all his accumulations sway from How can he be idle, when the waters are rising, and he may soon be himself carried away by the flood Not only individuals, but communities and states are mined by neglect of labor. Indeed, in the ease of the latter this seems the more necessary. There must be production of some kind or the oountry goes to ruin. It cannot continue to bay its subsistence and its vesture without in time wasting its means, unless it produces either these things or the means of purchasing them. A storehouse, from which the goods are constantly removed, will soon te empty, unless a new stock be brought in.

A bank account which is drawn upon until the lees are reached, yet is never enlarged by deposits, will boor become beggarly 1 one. The soil of Louisiana, rich as it is with all its accumulated fertility, will cease to bring; forth fruits by which men can live, unless it be cultivated, and cultivated aright let alone, and under-brash will grew up in stubborn profusion upon, it, and the last state of that land'wiil be worse than the first. If but half tended, unwholesome weeds and grasses will usurp the place of useful crops; Where there is depth of soil there may not be exhaustion, but there vtay be a more sad return in the bitter fruits of neglect and decay. To us, who are now' "paasing through a tim oT penalization la trade, of suspended animation in business, and of diverted and changing agricultural aims and prospects, these are important considerations. We must all go to It is impossible for us to live on the past.

Our wealthiest men and fast endowed institutions will soon sink into insolvency, if their energies be not put in motion to stop the leaks. As our city has ceased for a time to have the same facilities for foieign commerce which it to long enjoyed, its the less rely on the receipt, management, sale, and shipping of the productions of the great valley. Is there nought else which they can dot What is to prevent our many unemployed people from becoming manufacturers of useful things 1 Certainly not the fact that we can purchase them in New York at a less cost for thus New York obtains all the profits of their manufacture, aa well as that of their carriage to us. If cotton sells for ten cents per pound more in New York than here, a pound of cotton cloth ought to be worth no more here than there, supposing us to have fewer facilities for its manufacture. Our cloths may be coarser and homelier, yet their use would be some proof to us that we are not necessarily dependant on others for all we wear.

If we cannot manufacture our own cloths, we can certainly raise our own provisions. The corn, the potatoes, the beans, the rice, the beef and the pork of Louisiana, aye, and its wheat are as good, and may be made as abundant and sufficient as those of Illinois. If we cannot furnish or procure the labor necessary to make cotton or sugar, we can provide subsistence corps in abundance. Let those who cannot engage in manufactures, who are neither artirans nor mechanics, go ib-to the country or upon sub urban grounds, where they can raise the necessaries of life, not for themselves only, but for those otherwise employed Let us see whether Louisiana cannot afford within its own borders everything which any other State can send to it. We must keep up the productiveness of its soil, though the change of cirumstance compel us to diversify the use of it If hands cannot be procured to make sugar or cotton with certainty or profit, then raise provisions.

These sell at enormous rates in market, and we hope that the profit on them will not be allowed to go abroad. It is true that to become manufacturers or producers, many heretofore useful in other duties must change their calling. Whether this is happily the case with them or not, the change is inevitable, except by allowing others to take their place in our midst Times have changed, and men must change with them. We must adapt ourselves to the altered condition of things. It may please some men to have strangers make their laws, and administer them, produce and sell them provisions, manufacture their clothisjg, their furni- ture, and all things they use, occupy their houses and lands, fall heirs to their money and become the arbiters of their destiny, but we do not profess to be of the number.

MSICAL AND DRAMATIC. Moos. Leon Prsvost, who was, as our musical readers will remember, the Chef ttOYekfttrt of the Theatre de I Optra, has returned to this city, so long his resides oa, and, as will be observed by his eard la another eoinma, intend to give I ex Bona la voeal aad instrumental manic te such pupils aa nay favor him with their preferenee.

The weather has been such as to interfere seriously with the pleaeuie of the lovers of the drama, and with the profits of the nianagtrs. Yet there have been some good Booses and some good audiences. There has been nothing very novel In the productions on oar stage since oar lest-' Mr.

Our thsstre-goers will net have forgotten the merriest soubrettee, who was some seasons ainee one of the stock company at the Varieties, Mr a.

W. H. Leightoa. Thie clever aetrets, whose laughter seys one of oar eote mporerUs, is as cheery as the son's rays on a cold day," has arrived in New York, from California, and would eommeuee an engagement at the New Bowery. Charles.

Our city play-goers msy remember Harry Macarty, who used to ling on our boards. It has been reported that he was killed in battle, near Atlanta, a year ago.

But of this there seems to be now eome well founded doubt Mr. Stanley, of the Viekaburs theatre, writing to the New York Sunday Mercury, says I playsd with bim iu the Wilmington, N. theatre, last October, and saw hint off to Nassau on board the Falcon, with the Intention of openiog a theatre there." If this took place fn October, 1864, it is elear that he eould not have died in February of that year. FIREMEN'S CELEBRATION. THE TWENTY-EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY.

The weather for thie most noteworthy event proved far belter than eoeid have been expected after gloomy weather of late, and the heavy rain t-f the preceding night. It was cloudy enough, and neither too warm nor too oooL About 9 o'clock the different streets leading la the direction ef Canal street were made musical by the lively bands ef the companies moving in that direction. The programme had been most iadietoesty arranged, and all the companies some thirty six in all took assigned positions, withoat disorder or mistake. If wasthea that Caaal street recanted a bood to which it has long been a stranger. The Firemen's AstociaUoa is a home iaatita-tioBj one that we recognise as emanating from and.

among as It Is oars. They are friends our brothers. There are no strifee among them, exeept the noble strife the virtuous emulation of surpassing -each other in excellence of discipline, ia organise tloa, in charitable works, aad in doing honor to their departed members. Can it be won dered, then, that the eyes of sevsnty-fire thousand people looked approbation on them yoaerday withirf the limits ef New Orleans So greet, ao dense and so orderly a crowd of people we have ealdom seen. Tho long line of the companies noted oa each aide of Caaal street extending towards the river aad towards the Leke.

with their flags fly lag to the breese, their englees shining ae polished mirrors, ladea with flowers, bouquets, wreaths, circlet the work of fair bands aad approving hearts; and each company ''that had arrived at its poet, having its own anifetm usually a red or while shirt trimmed with dark velvet, blaek pants, white gloves stood still la its position waiting, aa the musto ef the ether companies announced their arri valt the hoar Indies, ted in the programme, the 'companies wen nearly hi position. Around the status of Hsary day had been erected aa elevated platform' which aflorded the beet view of the entire pro-' eeedings, and seldom has the eye glanced over a more tnHvenlng aad imposing spectacle. It is eaay to say that all the baleonies, galleriee and plaxxas; aad all the projections from the houses around were occupied by ladles watiog their' parasols or showering, bouquets on the procession; aad that there was a sea of human beings occupying all the available rpsee below and that the pUtform. itself was covered and that all the streets radiating from Caaal street were lined with' the beauu'ul and that the air was rich with! music and that as tar as the eye eould extend flags and banners aad ornamental da vices were seen but all this eaa convey ao adequate conception to the mind of this great spectacle. This anniversary eelebratioav owiaf to the unhappy discords of this oaee happy country, has been omitted for four, years, but it was judged wise aad prudent to revive it again, aad one almost felt that the eld times had Indeed returned when so mash heartiness and wre maaifssted.

A little after 10 o'clock all the different companies were in position, aad the grand process ton began to stove aooordiog to the aad ia appropriate order all filed la front of Clay's statue, passed down Boyal street The Grand Marshal, N. Marks, Esq with hie aids, O. W. B. Bsy ley and Job P.

Honor were in front aad eome twenty-five or thirty others well mounted. From oar poeitioa oa the platform we had aa entire view of each company of the great procession as it passed by, la the asaal order of tho Marshal la front, then the masieiaae, then the flag, then the aisla body of the company, then the eagiae. till all disappeared down Royal street, which, aa far as the eye could extend, seemed like a panorama of splendor. We noticed the various mottoes oa the flags aad banners, such "Be Jest aad Fear Not," ACnited We Steed," Lafayette, Our Country.

Some of theBompanies, la passing our office, remembered as their old friend of many yeirs. The Philadelphia Fin Engine Company, No. 14, gave three cheers and a tiger for the Pio-yune. Also the Mechanics' Fire Company, No. 6gave a ssnnade, three cheer and a tiger" to the Picayune.

But among the proceeding of the evening we would wish to particularize those of the Mis eistippi Company, No. 2, and the American Hook and Ladder Company, No. 4.

These two rpleodid, large hearted and noble companies also noticed us, and gave aa some of their splendid mutie, which was magnificent But their feelings and good wishes, all of which we heartily responded to, an still sweeter to aa than the music. The former company did aa the honor to invite, several of ns te join them in diseussing the rich viands and liquors of the great eonnoisstor in these things, Mr. John Hawkins, whose public fpiritedness and liberality are well known. Everything was exeel lenteatable and drinkable as we proved by a liberal inlay of them. Mr.

John Hawkins, of the Mississippi Steam Fire Engine Company, (No. 2,) one of the marshal of the day, iavited that eompaay to partake of a atoet sumptuous collation, at the rooms corner of Caroadelet aad Union treats, whsn a few hoars of the afternoon wen passed most hilariously.

Many rood things wen said in tho way of toast, sentiment and and the banquet formed one of the most delightful incidents of the day.

The MiMiseJppians (No. 2) and the Hook and Ladder Company (No. 4), headed by Jor dan's drum and fife band, after their eouation, honored the Picayune with a eereaade aad a salute, for which eoartesy they will accept oar acknowledgments. After good digestion had waited oa appetite awhile, the Grand Marshal of the day was trod need and made a speech. Every one knows we allude to N.

Marks, the great soul of the Fin Dspartmst of New Orleans for thirty years past dnrtng the last tea of which he has been Grand Marshal. He made a speech, wo say, ia which hs alluded to his deep sympathy aad regard for all tho companies that they had proved themselves aot merely good firs men, bat good dttxeae also, and that the effects of their good deeds would long remain whoa he who had been so long identified with them would be ae more. The noble bnw aad real, alaesn ataaaer and high character of the speaker wore eloquence of tho highest order, aad tha tear-bedewed eye and load cheers when he concluded attested the regard ta which his services wen held. Such msn as he Ure for their, day, aad an useful to their own generation. After him Joseph P.

Horner, himself afire-man of six yean staadiag, addressed a few eloquent and heart-oil rrlng words to the audience, which wen received with load acclamation, and finally Old Jordan, now 65 yean of age, was called oa.v We reepeet old Jordan.
