Ah nie ! for tlio bird whose lliglit

Oncll'd oneo wilb such deep delight,

Now ?lrivoiiini! iu lonely boweV,
Willi uell-er eo_B-_ig_t nor ?lower,
dore all IhedcUclotia power.
Once ho dear, Isabel 1
Mi, why, when in Boab of pride,
light isabel,
Uid'at thon not IaK'O Hie title,
-right lsiibel ?
Nrvir nald, lu that happy day,
helil over hearts moro happy sway,
Whv Iel thy Bowery apriug pusu away
Into blight,Isabel?
Tliou'rl uo more, ou Fauey'a Bight,
Child Isabel ;
is'o longer, though tiuilc os light,
Wiltl Isabel ;
Tame enough now, ut twenty-eight.
. To know Unit Lovo's out of date,
Aud moau o'er Hie mocking Fate,
That beguiled, Isabel.
1 sec theo now. not as of yore,
Fahr Isabel ;
Tltou waltest our heart-beats no more,

All the blrdB lUou could'st hush,
In lliy season of Hush,
Aie uoiv-birds in the buah,
Or the ah-, Isabel.
Thou'et lost thy good in thy chase,
llamo Isabel ;
Other ?mills toko thy placo
In tho Rame, Isabel ;
And the Ousli ou thy chock,
Had it tongue but to Hpeak,
Would tleolarc thee grown meei?,
For mere shame, Isabel.
Sec these children of raine,

They might all havo been thine,
With two moro, Isabel ;
My wife Utile dreams (as she soys, Boeing thee),
"What wretched old moid la it staring at mt?
What a akelctou thing-what a fright bIic will be,
At two score, Isabcll"
BERWICK.
MOULTRIE AT HOME.
The New York correspondent of "Tm* News,"
in accounting for tho non-appearanco of bia letters
in the past weok, would respectfully announco tho
important intelligence that ho is at homo again.
The last trip of tho Quaker Oily brought him
on-the next trip will toko him back to tho great
Empire City. Meanwhile, what doos ho who is
native hero aud to the manor born?-what does
be noto in the good old City of tho Sea ? A great
many things to give him hopo for tho future, yet
many morq that bring np ead, too sad, recollec
tions of tho unhappy past. Whon Tandora'a box
was opened, and all the plagues and evils flow
out, Hope remained at the bottom. Let it be so
with the box that wo aro in-the box that old
Charleston ia in-let us Bpeak of the sad things
first, and then of the hopeful ones. Modltki-.
who comes fresh from tho big city, where marble
palaces are as plentiful as darkies are here, cannot
but feel sad as he slowly wends Ina way through
tho burnt district, and sees, with his mind's eye,
only the many handsome buildings that have not
been put np daring his absence.
This is but one o? the many evils that bavo como
forth from the box which keeps old Charleston
shut np, cabinnod, cribbed and confined, but let
thom fly all, and let us see what Bigns does Hope
send forth to bid us chcor up. First sceno of all
I mean first sign of all-is, that people no longei
bother their heads about political matters; over
man thinks only of tho all-important question
"how can I make a dollar?" except some who ar<
endeavoring to learn how to moko two dollars, uni
a few who aro going to work in such a style as wil
ensure thom a respectable pile of greenbacks
Sign number two is the city railroad ; even in th?
good old days sneb an enterpriso could not bl
pushed through, but now in our adversity, do w<
find men bold enough to get on the right track, bo
lioving the right track to bo the track that is not
icing laid so rapidly-for Charleston. Tho thirt
sign can be seen at the Guard "House and at Tin
D-r_y News office, where Poznanshi's gas multi
plier is in practical and successful operation, savin,
nightly fifty por cent, in the consumption of gaa
with a light far moro brilliant than under the oh
system. Sign numbor four hangs out on the man;
wharvcB in the shape, form and complexion o
cotton bales, rollod by darkies who aro willing t>
work, whilst tho large freight liBts of tho soverc
lincB of steamers furnish the best evidences c
trade coming and to como.
Let us cheer np, thon. Let us hopo and bolicv
that there is life in the old land yet. Let us shak
off this downy sleep and grow as wide awake a
tho shrewdest Yankee. Let us bo up and doin(
Let us have cheap ridos, and cheap gas, and chea
goods. Let us build up tho burnt district; erect
tbeatro, and bo up and alive. Lot us bavo naugl
to do with politics. Let the Radicals havo i
lengthy a swing as possible; give them a long roj
and they will most assuredly hang tbomsolvca i
good time; meanwhile lot usondoavortoputmon?:
in our purses, attend to our own business, and st
that old Charleston shall soon bo not herself agaii
but a now and improved Charleston-somethir
belter than before. A few days ago Mooltbie toe
a seat in one of the Charleston stages, and h
heart was full of hope, for the omnibus was full
passengers. Aye, lot it bo proclaimed from ti
house tor?, tbo stago was crowded (it is true
rained); the passengers were jammed in in rog
lar New York style; ovory seat was taken, ai
Moultrie forgot himself for tho moment ai
lliought he waa in a Broadway Btago, when, lol
lady gets in, and every man arises quickly to ofl
her a ssat. Thin was the illusion dispelled, in
Moultrie soon saw that ho was in Charleston, n
New York-for in tho Empire City a lady m
stand in a stago or car till ber shoos grow old, e
a scat be offered hor, except by a Southern mon,
With hoart elated by tho bright hopea tfc
sprang from a contemplation of all theso Big
that bid us look for good things in storo for o
dear old city, Moultrie has night after night be
on a most observant watch for tbo heavenly sigi
whoBo appearance tho wiso men who can read t
stnrs have predicted. Seated in a third story pii
za, with pipe in mouth, at tho dead hour of nig
when churchyards yawn, graves give up thoir dei
and men indulgo in faro, has Moultrie kop
sharp look out for tho grand coleato-moteoric-]
roteehnic display. On the second night of I
watch, and at about two o'clock by tho watch,
waa awakonod from a tomporary slumber by a \
mondous explosion, followed by a brilliant lij
that illumined tho ontiro hoavons; anon a bal
fire, apparently about threo times as largo as
moon, shot across tho horizon, and bursting, t
the shapo of a thousand serpents, whioh gradu
increased in sizo and length till thoy asaumod
most gigantic proportions.Jwhen, presto 1 thoy e
donly disappeared, and tho air waa filled with h
dreds of largo meteors similar to tho first; ti
bursting, took tho shape of mammoth fiery t
which, liko tho sorponts, increased in size andt
vanished. Next carno tv body of solid fire, in
pooranoo about six tkncaaB largeos tho ann;
not only abone with resplendent brillianoy,
omitted an intenso heat that grow still mort
tense aa the motcor slowly descended nearer
nearer to tho earth; now it touches tho groi
and Moultrie distinctly feelaa burning senBnl
- especially about bia breast, which sccmB to b
ure. With a loud ory ho Btarta np, and-a*
ing, ?lnus that when one untlortakeB to watch out
for meteors and to indulge in a nap meanwbilo, it
woro but prudont to guara againBt such unpleasant
sonnat-ona as may bo produced by tho falling-no
of meteors on tho ground-but of Lot ashes (from
a pipo) on oiio'h shirt bosom.
Such aro tbo signs that Motrc_TB_E lias seen in
Charleston by day-tmch the signa that Moultrie
has not scon in Charleston by night. Tho signs
by dav bid bim hope that Charleston will jet pros
per; tn o signs by night bid bim boliovothat tho
heavenly ilrowork. will bo postponed till next year
at least'.
