THE DYING GTRL TO HER AHaN-
STREL-LOVEFe.
Minstrel, thy farewell song,
BY GEORGE D. PRENTICE.


Minstrel, thy farewell song,
Sad as drge heard through the midnight rain,
Falls on my heart--and Loves dear years again
On memory throng.
The music Of the pasc
Comes floating round me-and young Fancy brings
Sweet dreams OF love and glory on her wings
Too bright to last.
The bow that spanned the years
In Life's young morning glews with blessed ray,
But soon, too soon, its beauty melts away
In clouds and tears.
may not hear that tone
Of mornful mnstrelsy again. 'Tis well
Alas that earthly tones should ever swell
So wild and lone
Minstrel, love thee now
AS first loved thee. In this raven hair
/ twine, as then, thy favorite iowers-but where,
Oh! where art thou
The solitary star,
That rose so sweetly o'er yon mountains brow
On that blessed eve OF love-'tis rising now
But thou art far.
gaze yon dear moon
AS erst we gazed ere Loves young dreams were
dull,
And weep that dreams so passing beautiful
Should fade SO soon.
/ wander on the spot
Where first we met. The notes of early birds
Still float upon the air, but thy sweet words
/ hear them not.
1 am alone and fast,
Ny life is fading from The earth--this breath
Is faltering now, and the low wind Of death
Seems moaning past.
IT'S well. and have come
To bear in silence. can calmly
Life's last pale blossom wither on its tree,
Then seek my home.
Minstrel, this mourrful token
OF love is thine-it is my hearts farewell
leave thee soon---oh! keep it as spell
OF love unbroken.

4 SOUTHERNER ON STEAM ENGINES

Gentlemen: In an article headed What
we are going to make. 10 the last number OF
your magazine, the writer thinks that the MI
lenium for niggers il to be brought about by
stcem, on the ground that bushil OF cosl fed
to q steam engin will produce more power
than q bushil Of Injun corn fed to niger;
and that the great improvement that Is TO
take place in these epgins in so or lOo years
will enable US to navigate our cornteids, ana
plough as much cotton, with one critter OF
this sort, in the same length Of time, and at
O less expense, than with ten riggers; conee-
ouently, we will free the niggers as pul-
sance, and take the engin instead. Now jest
grant that what he says about plowin oy
steem should turn out true--and cotton could

them. If we ever du plough by steem,
which won't deny mough. be done, vel
turn our niggers into pickers--niake more
cotton and cell at less price. lie Is what
might might be called speculative genius,
like Teller who lives not far from here; he
thought he'd make an improvement in pick
ing, and then monkeys would be the very
article. One monkey would pick as much
as q bigger, and one niger could oversee III
monkeys. The monkeys was got and the
trial made; the only mistake about it was, in-
stead Of one bigger managing 10 monkeys. 1t
took 10 niggers to manage one monkey; so
he has to Civ up experimental and sticks to
the old way of gatberin the crop. Some one
says that every man is crazy on some sub

Some of the senior members of the worthy
"Socety of Friends, commonly called Quak-
ers," who flourished in the generation now fast
fading out, were oft-times witty and waggish,
If not sometimes wiley and wicked. Friend
Zcphaniah Paddock, master and chief owner
of the whaling brig Grampus, was one OF the
straitest, most buttonless, and drab-colored
models of the sect Of passive obedience and
non-resistants. But his chief officer or mate
belonged to the worlds people, and 10 despite
of frequent remonstrance would persist in
the use Of profape interjections. They were
cruising near the Western Islands IN the
spring of 1913; and wishing to escape the
visitation of "long. low, blacksided schoOn.
err" Capt. P. very mildly desired couple Ut
hands to 60 aloft to perform some necessary
operation upon the topsails. The men said
nothing, but would not bulge. Earnest en-
treaty and quiet reasoning could not move
the delinquents. Atlengtb Zepbaniah, turn
ing to the mate, said, "Cousin Nathan, thee
must talk to them in thy language" To-
stantly the fret officer gave forth yell, with
a fearful oath, and the men at once
sprang to their duty, but too late to fulfil It
in such manner as to effect the desired
change of the vessels course. The schooner
soon came up within gun-shot. Nathan,
who had upon the forecastle faVorite old
swivel, burdeped with iour-pourd ball, was
desperately preparing to blaze away at ran
DOM; but bis master stepped forward and
gently remarked, "Msty, if we're going to
point that shooting iron l would take that
craft little absft the fore-chaips." 1t was
done: the shot told and az the visiter wore
off, Zephaniah waved bis hand from the
quarterback, saying Fare thee well--hope
tbee'll always strive to be peaceable. "-Bos-
