Reader, we write the painful, the agonizing
1 truth about our friend ; and truth must out. Is it
not truth? Philo's lite is written in his poetry.
Read this from his pen and heart, written about
the time we allude to:
ADA'S SAD FATE.
On the green banks of Catawba
Once there lived a beauteous maiden,
Stainless as the flower ai sun-iet
With the dews ot evening laden.
Gentle as the west-wind blowing
Washer soul's unearthly feeling,
Softer than the streamlet's flowing
Came her words that soul revealing,
High the br-athings of her spirit
lit the radiance brightly beaming,
Of that land it would inherit
When il ceased its earthly dreaming.
On the green banks of Catawba
Died tiiat rare and radient maiden,
When the rri.' days came on her,
And her heart with ?rief o'erladen,
P.ed the victim of delusion
Words, that ne'er wtre true believing.
Words :hat filled her soul with anguish"
Wo lie her broaking heart df ceving,
Tboutii bet heart va blighted, broken,

L it his muse still lingered, like some weird en
Taantrss 'round a dUmamled temple, around the
the ruins of his affections. He walked among
men. but was not of them ; he talked with men,
but not to them ; he heard them spr-ak, but never
lisrei ed. He drowned sorrow often, and soothed
the pangs of memory in the fatal bowl. But let
ao one condemn him, until he has sufi-red as
much. Occasionally his muse, after Ada's death,

the parallel was complete by Louis Napoleon's as

unequalled fame, over the long eslablised institu
