Eastward of Bethlehem the house of bread Ephrath or 1 phratah called the f'uit ful. Though once 'mwf Judahs princes least of all. Yet destined to be chief among the chiefest. Perched on the narrow ridge of Jura hills, High up above the level of the sea'. It now lies bathed in the rich golden light Of a fair winter's eve. not such an eve As Milton paints with Fancy's facile brush No season then to -ran ton with the sun, A winter wild strapped of all-gau-ly trim." Oldest of all Philistia's towns, she stood Famous for rvirhty deeds of might v men. Near by. and in fall view, is ' seen the tomb TSat Jaeob reared to his beloved wife, The Rachel won by fourteen year's hard toil. His light of life, his first and only love. Barley yet wayes within the lields near by. Where Ruth's simplicity and artless grace Captured the heart of Boaz: and here too. David, the shepherd, poet, prophet, prince Won for his home the nam:. City of David. Hera too. prou 1 Saul, Isreal's first king once lived. And yet a greater than these shall come to bless The spot, hallowed, as no other yet has been. Tis midiiight ; and a cloudless Syrian sky Dispensed its milder lights of planets, stars On Bleeping Bethlehem, destined to see Xo morrow's sun, till a new light had come. Till a new star, unseen by mortal eye, The Star ot Bethlehem, its orbit left. Vnd by an unknown path, revealed the spot tVhere David, king, had lived and David's son was born. Princes on earth are born "mid cannon" roar ; The clanging bells ring out their joyous chimes : And welcome shouts announce to all the world A prince is born ; let all the nations know.' But now.at night. Judea's plains resound. And echoing hills repeat to listening ears The first and last grand anthem ever heard On earth, since the first morn when the stars Together sang, and Sons of God shouted for joy ! Vgain the Heavenly Host in concert sing : "Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, Good will toward men !" 'This day to yu is born In the city of David, A Saviour, Christ the Lord !" The wondrous sounds, the yrt more wondrous lipht Pass suddenly away ; in eager haste. With harrying feet the shepherds ran : Wise men from eastern climes rich pres ents brought, And with low reverence laid them at th feet, Of Juah's Prince, of Israel's promised King, Not in a palace found, in softest raiment clad. Nor yet in Shimhara's humble Inn, but wrapped In swaddling clothes, and in a manger laid. Hail, the Heaven-born Prince of Peace 1 Hail, the Son of Righteousness ! J. A. P. LOUISVILLE LETTER. NO. .

I refer, of cours?. to th, Southern Exposion, which is" to bf iel.1 here in Louis 'e, beginning August 1, and continuing "jroug'' one hundred duys.

Tue interest in it, which is all absorbing here; has radi ated to the utttnnost parts of the South, and indeed, it is now an affair of later nut to nul iinpoituiicc ; for the Directurs have. already received olii ial notiri. ation from the representa tives of foreign nations expressing lui ufention of tukiug a prt in it. Cot- ton. of course, will be kirn, but to bacco. and manufacturing, as well as the agricultural interests generally. of the South, will receive diu atten" tion. The Exposition is a striking1illu ; tration of the energy an t push of the people of this city, for tbe entif e amount, $300,100, which has been ubscribed for tue undertaking, came . voluntarily and eusily from citizens of Louisville alone, dat allers were not solicited there was not even a State or municipal appro priation. Louisville deserves.itnd will meet with a success proportionate to he magnificent energy and enter prise of her people! Alre'ady C67,- 000 square feet of flooring lias... been put down,. more than three times as itucli as at Atlanta,- and lie ice -as rniK-h as at either' the Paris, Berlin, or Vienna Expositions ; an t yet, -so reat has been the demand for space. that alread' preparations are be!ng made to enlarge the present capacity it least half as much a aain. I ii intended that the occasion -hull not only be one of interest in tn industrial point of view, but that t shall also be so conducted as to nake the time spent in attendance y visitors as pleasant and agreeable :ts possible. - The exhibitions will be nade the subjects of a series of lec tures bv distinguished inventors, ex lerts, and scientific men, which wilt be'giveiv free every night during the continuance of the ExDosition. The musical featu.es of the occa- ion will prove a'so a treat of the first magnitude, for the famous 7ih Regiment Band of New- York, as well as Gilmore's Orchestra (als of t.he same city-) has been secured at a cost of $35,000. In addition to this an immense organ,' the -' largest in this country, is in process of con truction at. a cost of $10,000, -which s to be used in connection with series of proposed concerts to be ivt:n by a selection of 600 voices f om the several si .gi ig Societies of his city.

I should sav there t , f' vill be some race sport for all lovers f the turf during the continuance ol the Exposition. In fact everything which can possibly add to the inter st and pleasure of Louisville's visi .ors, will be done. Already five new iiotels are in process of construction .tnd ''ciill ll eie's noie to foilcvv for the people here kno full wel how decidedly hurtful and humiliat ng it would be, after having invited tie world to come and," see "them, to ifid they couldu't take care of -their nests.

THE GOLDEN FUTURE OF THE SOUTH Eighteen Years ago the war' had been fought out. to its end,and through out the length and breadth of her vast territory the defeated South pre sented the Isaddes, of sa 1 scenes of isolation. Everywhere, on every hand, at every uru, there were ruins, oreat ruins aud little ruins, that told the story of the four-years' strife and its disastrous results more clearly and mo-e pathetically1' than any formal, written Ustory of.. our. war between the States" can cer tell it.l No people, no Country since the dawn of civil zat ion was ever 'more --.
