Cor. Waterbury American. COL. HOLMES' "POEM." Celebration, of the 'Fifteenth Amend ment in. Boston. , The colored people of the city and surrounding towns, had a great gala day on Thursday, the 14th inst. It was the first celebration of their "4th of Julj'," and evoked all the enthusi asm for which their race is noted. The day was beautiful, and the cele bration lasted from morn till night. The procession was very large, embra cing many military companies of the militia, the veterans of the war, both from the navy and army, and nu merous societies free masons among the number all of which were color ed men. The governor, his staff", and tmauy other notables gave to the pro cession their presence and counten ance. Its line of march took in one or two streets, where in former times Boston mobs outraged every principle of freedom, by an attack upon Win. Lloyd Garrison, and other apostles of true liberty. The world advances, and contrasts of that day and this, show in the strongest light, that here in the city of the Pilgrims the popular intelligence and purpose have been lifted up fo a higher place of civil con duct. From this we urge the popu larity of our republican institutions. Suffice it to say, that no more orderly procession ever paraded these streets, and no insults were offered them by any of the great numberof observers. In tbe afternoon Faneuil Hall was the great centre of attractions, and the exercises there are of especial interest to all Waterbury people, since .Col. C. E. L. Holmes was the-poqt of 'tne'uav. une oia cradle or. libertv nyrlolted, grander, nor were more repre sented replying to Hayne in the sen ate, which adorns the west end of Faneuil Hall. No one with greater foresight saw the end of the slavery agitation than Webster, and now hardly fifteen years in his grave, "all things become new." What would the immortal statesman have said, if those "pictured lips" could have bro ken into voice? He would have known at least, "Liberty and Union" were now possible and consumated. William Lloyd Garrison arose from a sick bed to 'mingle his voice in the general triumph. Hi3 remarks point ed, eloquent and prophetic, yet were applauded to the echo by the immense throng of listeners and friends. Soon after his speech, the poem was an nounced. Col. Holmes prefaced its reading by a few remarks, in which he informed the audience, the title of the poem was the "Black JErophefc'' Toour personal knowledge, this was written by Col. Holmes, while Gen. tLee was on his way to Gettysburg, and every line of the wonderful proph ecy has since emerged from hope and fmcy into fact. It was read most ad mirably by Mr. William H. Pope of New York, an elocutionist of true genius and rising fame. The Boston press were unanimous in his praise, and we trust that a Waterbury au dience may soon have the pleasure of listening to his readings. He hasall the culture and art of 3'our own Rus sell, witli greater power of voice. The poem, a truej-pecimen of poetic geni us, is to be highly commended, and in saying this, I but echo Boston senti ment. Having had the privilege of examining the pro'diiction, I append a few selections, although for n' true appreciation, every line should be heard. For poetic description, take the fol lowing i The sun once more had rolled his chariot wheels From orient to Occident. And now. Ids coursers bathed their wearied limbs. "Within the waves of that atrial sea, "Which breaks along the terraced vollet banks Upon the farther shore of day And throws its golden spray sheer o'er The crimson headlands of the clouds; To fall in glorifying baptism. upontneioreneausoi tnenuis. Reflected thence the colden sheen ' Prolongs the daywUhin theshlning vales; Where twilight, like a timorous, dusky mniu; With dainty tread, and backward glance, Is stealing towardher moonlit bower. To rest in tho enamored -arms of night. Thej.uhvarying strength of the po em isavfact worthy of e.speciarnotice, and tHe(folIo.wing lines maybe taken as "alfair example of poetic power in thistiirection: N,ow1ier me master ! " tr- V If I owned the whole vi jou a great, universe ana neid -God's title deed talhe last star, Which on the confines of extremist space. Stands like Jehovah's Sentinel where The last rocky headlnnd of creation.

One of the finest productions is to be fonnd in the Spirits address to the Prophet, and its reading was greeted with geuuine applause : Long ye've waited r still yc wait! On the threshhold of your fate, Bat the door swings wide at last, Tbe time is full the die Is castr "Now is Freedom's trial hour Now shall slavery's giant power Grapple with her, hand to hand, J? shall perish .sAe shall stand.

' And;again, from the slave's farewell to slavery: , v fit means the night, the gloomy night has passed, It means the day,I've waited for, My day , of Jubilee, has come From henceforth GxTt ray master our not man. It means that Freedom's resurrecting trum Is sounding peal on peal across A centnry of death and night. v aln was your guard and vain your seal. Vainly ye bought, andhribed, and sold. The souls of venal statesman, priests and . judge. With "more ofhope.yonmigbthave riveted Tour chains about the solid globe, ,To hold the earthquake in Its place ,Or set your seal upon Vesuvius. Past Is yonr day of triumph past your power, -Past the long day of our despair . The flashing cimetar of morn. Cleaves through the laden mail of night And on the shining extreme verge, 1 Of our enfranchisement wo stand. , And so the poet sings in the "Black .Prophet." He sings of wrongs, and trials that are over now. of bold re solve and unconquerable will, and with prophetic vision sees "enfran chisement' the day we celebrate. There is a 'wealth of sentiment, a depth of poetic favor in the poem, not often met with in these latter days. To saj' that it .received a hearty wel come and appreciation would bo with in the facts, and Waterbury should feel a just pride in this genuine success of Col. Holmes. OTer Dressing. Howard Glyndon, writing to the New York Mail, on some of the prev alent fashions, says : I don't object to the ladies wearing lace flowers upon satin dresses, and diamonds in their hair and on their necks, nor do I object to admiring lookers-on reporting how gracefully these things were worn. But every thing in moderation and I don't think much of any woman who put3 all that she can possibly rake and scrape together upon a ball room cos tume for the avowed purpose of out shining every woman present, .not in grace or stateliness, or elegance or ease of manner, but simply in the net cost of her dress and jewels! My dear reader, don't you think that this has something of barbaric flavor about it? For my part, it makes me think of the King of Dahomey, with rings on his angers and bells on nis toes, or of the Chief of Ashautee, with his war paint on ; and when indulged in bj'an edu cated and civilized woman, it is worse than barbaric; it is coarse! It is I hate to say so, but the truth ia that it is vulgar; it is more than that, it is criminal. It helps to demoralize the social atmosphere ; it more than helps to such panics in Wall street as we've had lately this passion that our wo men have for the costliest apparel, and this passion of our men for the fastest horses. No striving after per sonal refinement after nobleness of 'deportment and superiority of taste and distinguished manners. J o stri ving to be, at heart, ladies and gentle men. No! only an ambition to hold the costliest cigars between lips and pour, out slang and bad grammar, and (something tworse) a Dre&King or tne lEWA'of.Godiaudof nature and-honor ; Q,Trear piceie$B uiamomwflH coarse SWlpWjitwJiBgers, ,aqi te'hoidcin these nrniiyiKantis the.Wius .of, Jiazl ses that have cost thousands upon thousands, and who are (and that is at least, one consolation) whht many of their owners are not thoroughbred. Why ! there never wasa country with so many opportunities as ours for bringing up a nation of born and bred ladies and gentlemen. Accounts ought to go into every land not of the costliness of our men's equipages aud of our women's diamonds butof the courtesy and refinement of our gentlemen and the grace and high breeding of our ladies. We ought to feel that both the one and the other can shine by the light alone of what they are, and not of what they pos sess. But to get the reputation solely of being the keepers of fine horses, and the women of fine diamonds oh, lie! it's-vulgar vulgar vulgar ! Thrilling Adventure. One of our oldest merchants, who is so soon to pass away, and who former ly carried on business in Beaver street, residing as it was the custom in olden times over his store, tells the follow ing thrilling narrative, which he oc casionally relates with wonderful ef fect: A party had been collected at his house to give eclat to one of those little family festivals which brighten the dark trace of life, and cheer the human heart in every clime. It was his daughter's wedding day; crowds of her young acquaintances circled round her, and as the father gazed Eroudly on the face of the young ride, he wished as bright a prospect might open for his other children who were gamboling merily among the crowd. Passing through the passage connecting the lower rooms, he met the servant maid, an Ignorant country girl, who was carrying a lighted tal low candle in her hand without a can dlestick. He blamed her for Uiis dir ty conduct, and -went on into the kitchen to Hiake some arrangements with his wife about the supper table ; the girl shortly returned with her -arms lull oi aie notties, out witnout the candle. -The merchant immedi ately recollected that several barrels of gunpdwder had been placed in his cellar "'during the day-, and that his foreman had opened one of the barrels to select a sample for a custompr. "Where :is yonr candle?" he inquired in the utmost agitation. "I couldn't bring it up with me, for my hands Were full," said the girl. "Where did you leave it?"

The merchant dashed down the cel lar steps ; the passage was long and dark, and as he groped his way on, his knees threatened to give way un der him ; his breath was ehoketl, and his flesh seemed suddenly to become dry and parched, as if he had already feft the suffocating blast of death. At the extremity of the passage, in the front cellar, under the very room where his children and their friends were reveling in felicity,, he discern ed the open powder barrel, full almost to the top the candle stuck lightly in the loose grains, with a long red snuff of bunitrout wick, topping the small and gloomy flame. This sight seemed to wither all his powers, and the merry laugh of the youngsters above stuck npon his heart like the knell of death. He stood for some' moments.'gazlng upon that light, un able to advance.

ALEXANDRA LI3CP. A Successor to tho Deposed Grecian. ' Alexander the Great, as history fs forms ust.had u slight imperfection.in the setting on of his head, which in- cuneu a utuc io one side. is- cour tiers, therefore, felt it incumbent on them to affect awry necks, and did so accordingly. Alexandra, Princess of Wales, has unfortunately contracted a limb from rheumatism ; and now, a3 we hear, the liege ladies of England have taken to limping too, and "halt!" is the latest command given by fashion. That the "Alexander limp" will find its way hither ere long is a thing to be expected, and, indeed, it is stated to have already made its appearance on our fashion able promonedes. The desired limp is obtained simply by wearing shoes with heels of unequal hight, and the deformity thus produced is no greater than that which characterizes the "Grecian bend." A necessary accom paniment of the "Alexandra limp" will be a walking cane, which will be very appropriate for the walking dolls that adopt the gait. The fashion, of course, will lead to a modification of the most of our present dances and tne invention of new ones. Lapsided waltzes will have to be devised, and in doing so, the "German" crutches will probably come to be the proper thing. As the skating season is at hand, it 'would be a neat idea to carry out the "Alexandra limp" on ice. We have had ever so many good things "on ice" already, and why not the "limp?" The girls of the period are capable of action on any of these suggestions, and they should by all means begin to have their bal morals altered at once, if not their morals. Our Noble Laboring 3Ten. God bless those little tin pails ! To-night we saw them going home a thousand and more of them. They were carried'by men who toiled by the workingmen who are sneered at, and snubbed, and jostled against, and pushed aside by the gilt-edged fash ionable whose hands are soft and whose hearts are hard.

The rich, who cany furs, and gold clasp purses, and who pet their poodles, may be late, or not go at all ; but the honest man with hard palms and an uncer tain future he must be on time. 'Way up stairs, down cellar; in the close, sticky, ropy, thickened air of the tenement house, where humanity is huddled like sheep, their little pails were filled. A wife arose while her tired husband was sleeping "just a moment more," and with silent step walked the floor till the scanty meal of the morning was ready. Then she called A?m, and tne tired man arose, wishing he did not have to go forth thus early. And while he ate hurrid- ly, the hand he once loved to kiss, filled that-little pail. A slice or two of bread, a little cold meat, some salt or mustard ; and, perhaps, a piece of cake or pie ; mayhap an egg, or cold potato ; and, perchance in a little cup on the top of the pail, a pint of coffee. Then the knife and spoon are slipped in, and he hurries away. Work, work, work! Hour after hour! Thinking of this and that of the past, of to-day, of to-morrow.

It comes at the hour of rest, with its fill of food. The tired man eats, and he thinks of home and tbe loving hands that filled his little pail. And his heart grows strong, and when the noon hour is over, he works, and he works, and he works for her and for them, and for a better home, and a time when to rest a day, does not rob the loved ones. And he looks back over the years to ifhe time when he wondered if she loved him, and to the Saturday nights, 1 when he hurried notne and washed his face, neck and body : when he put on his best, and no matter how tired, hastened to meet her, io put his hand in hers, to take one, two, three a score of kisses from the lips so love'd, and to look, oh ! so far down Info the depths of the eyes which were his choicest mirrors.

The lesson incalculated in the fol lowing brief sketch is worth studying: A green, rustic lad, came years ago to the metropolis from a Connecticut village. At home he bad done well in an honorable way, but he had read and heard of the wonderful city. He made np his" mind he'could d6 some thing in it. When he reached the city no place seemed open, to hinL Day after day he hunted for business. Want stared him in the face. He would not go back to his friends. Dropping into alargedry goods house one day in search for work, he chanced to come face to face with the proprietor. "We have nothing for you to do, sir," this great business man said in reply to his inquiry, "but stay, what can you do?" he continued, "you seem to be. an honest looking lad." "Oh, sir, I can do anything only try me. Only give me a chance to do something!" And the tears came out and trickled down the cheeks of the almost discouraged, forlorn boy, though he tried as hard as he could to repress them. "I will take the poor est place and do my best." He was engaged and set to work. He was sent down to the cellar and commenced his business career in New York by pounding nails, which- bad. bean thrown in a-pile beside the.

He saw his chance and counted up in his own busy brain every point in the game. In five years from that time he snt on the managers seat aud hammered the crooked ins and outs of the busi ness straigllt. During his clerkship he never miss ed a day ; and no morning went by without reporting prompt at seven o'clock. He saved money and pros pered as the years went by. Go up Broadway to-day, and you will see his name in golden letters over the en terance to one of the largest and finest establishments. In thai building there are seventeen million dollars' Worth of stock. His trade extends all over the land. His fortune is prince ly. And even now, though the great merchant is'getiing gray, and the old time energy is waxing low, a new light will come into his eyes, and a new life to his form, when he tells of those past days of striving, and says to the young men around him : "Work, if you would succeed- Be a true, faithful, earnest clerk, If you would become a merchant of position and importance." Xothing in the Paper. The Richmond Enquirer has a spicy chapter on the subject of newspapers elicited by the stereotyped, remark of indifferent readers, after scanning the "miniature world" of a newspaper, that "there is nothing in the paper."" It says : And meu are always grumbling about their paper, and insinuating how much better they could do it. They talk as flippantly about "fine articles" on every imaginable-subject as if they could effect a change. Let some of those .over-running philoso phers try it for one hundred and fifty successive days. And then they think that it is noth ing to select for a newspaper you have merely to run ' the scissors through a half dozen exchanges, and you have matter enough, ow this is the most Important and difficult department to fill on a newspaper. Very few men have tlie slightest idea how to do the work. It requires a thorough newspaper man - who knows: the public appetite well who knows what Is going on in the world, and who knows how to re-write and pack a column into a dozen lines'. Men who skim a newspaper and toss it aside, little reflect how toil and brains have been expended iu serving up that meal. Busy heads have been toiling.slldaj- to gather and prepare those viands, and sdme vast building has been lighted from cellar to garret all night to get that paper ready for the newsboy by the crack of morn. "Nothing in the paper!" Nothing in your head!' that's what's the matter. The new fifty cent notes, which we were told could not be Imitated, have been counterfeited so accurately that the Government officials cannot tell the difference between the spurious and the genuine stamps.

This Is the way the Fox girls pro duce their spiritual rapplngs: Fasten oneend of a piece of elastic land, four or five inches long, to the middle of & pound bar of lead, and the other end to a ring large enough to receive the toe of your shoe. Take another pieee of elastic band, 'eight inches or more In length, fasten one end to the ring, and the other to the right leg above the knee. When standing, with the contrivance arranged as described, the bar of Jesd should not come quite to ther ankle. Of course, alone drees is necessary to conceal it. When sit ting, the raps can be made by putting the toe of theleftshoe throug the ring, and with a slight movement of the foot causing the lead to strike the floor. One end of the bar will be likely to come in contact with the floor a little before the other end dees, and thus produce the peculiar double knock made by the Fox mediums. By a slight lateral motion of the foot, raps can be made with such a contri vance on a table-leg or door. A gen tleman walking home with one of the girls, one evening after a seancet no ticed a sound in connection with her step Jike that made by a wooden peg in walking, and the embarrassed girl said she could not conceive what caused it. Couldn't Get Her. Yesterday a trial was going on in the Recorder's Court, in which an old lady and her daughter were witnesses. The mat ron was not good looking, bnt the young lady certainly was. Their tes timony was about the same, and when they were called to the stand the court interfered.: "Let me have the young- girl the young lady will do!" meaning there by that her evidence alone would suffice. But the old lady misunderstood him, and screamed out in undisgnlsed alarm: "No, no! you musn't have her; she's engaged ; she's going to marry; you shan't have her!" Before this fearful accusation the Conrt could only look in speechless amazement. The old lady, preceiving her advantage, continued, accusingly: "I've heard of you before, sir. You ought to be ashamed of yourself, if you aro a judge, and yau a married man too, sir!" An explination of the old lady's mistake was hastily mado; but it would not do, and the incensed lady left the court-room, still muttering her wrath. JV. O. Pic. A little boy was washed and dressed one morning, and sent to Sabbath school, being warned not to pass the Btnall-pox hospital. During the exer cise the teacher asked George If he had ever been baptized. Small-pox and vaccination happened to be up permost in George's mind, and being rather too young to know the differ ence between baptized and vaccinated, and being ashamed to be thought ig norant, he promptly and somewhat Eompously answered: "Yes, sir; I ave been baptized five or six times, but it never took."

A chemist in Austrilia has made an important discovery, a new test for blood-stains, which is very delicate and sure. It consists in the applica tion of tincture of guaiacum and os nized either (perroxide of hydrogen dissolved in either.) to stain, when it turns to a beautiful blue. Even in the case fit blcod-stain twenty years old, the test showed the same result. This is regarded by scientific men as a very vaiuaoie discovery. m m "Wife, wife, what has become of the grapes ?"
