To the Nations shrine
! take my gift; nv brother take thou thine.
But if this may not be-Virginia hear thy son,
Whose flal service now is nearly done
Hear me, old State. Thon art supremely blest,
A Heroes ashes slumber in thy breast.
Oh. Mother if the ashes of a king
Could nerve to deeds with which Fan,s's trumrets
ring,
What glove of challenger shall make thee start,
When thy great son lies sleeping on thy hearts,
AT the close of this poem, the statue was un-
veiled amid the shouts and applause of the multi
tude and the roaring of cannon.

bound to carry it through anyhow, and

Lucrative manner.) "Well, you can

multiply the capital stock of the com

The old man looked, wiped his fearful
eyes, and looked again, his countenance
alternately flushed with red, and a
deathlike paleness.
''It is-no, it cannot be-yet how
strange" muttered the old man. sPar-

ever heard. The spell was then broken,
and all eagerly signed the pledge, slow

Gods World is Worthy Better Men.
By CHARLES MACKAY.

Behold, an idle tale they tell;
And who shall blame their tellings
The rogues have got their cant to sell;
The world pays well for selling.
They say the worlds desert drear,
Still plagued with Egypt's blindness,
That we were sent to suffer here
What by God of kindness?
That, since the world has gone astray,
1t must be so forever
And we should stand still and obey
It's desolators. Never!
Well labor for the better time,
With all our might, and Press, and Pen;
Believe me-'tis truth sublime
Gods world is worthy better men!
With Paradise the world began
world of love and gladness;
It's beauty may be marred by man,
With all his crime and madness.
Yet, It's a brave world still. Love brings
A sunshine for the dreary;
With all our strife, sweet rest hath wings
To fold DER hearts aWeary.
The sun, in glory like God,
To-day climbs up heavens bosom:
The flowers upon the jeweled sod
In sweet love lessons blossom,
AS radiant of immortal youth
And beauty IS III Eden. Then
Believe mc-'tis a noble truth
Gods world is worthy better menl
Oh they arc bod-thc knavcs are bold,
Who say they're doomed to anguish;
That man, in Gods own image souled,
Like heIl-bound slaves must languish!
Probe Natures heart to its red core,
There's more of good than evil;
And man-down- -trampled man-is more
An angel than q devil.
Prepare to die? Prepare to live!
We know not what is living;
And let us for the worlds good give
As God IS ever giving.
Give action, thought, love. wealth and time
To win the primal age again;
Believe me-'tis truth sublime
Gods world is worthy better men.

PoIETLEss SERMoSs.-In one of his
discomses, John Newton has this pithv
remark "Many sermons, ingenious in
their kind may be compared to letter
put in the post Office without n dircc-
ton; it is addressed to nobody, tits own
ed by nobody, and if hundred people
were to read it, not one Of them would
think himself concerned in its contents.
Such sermon, whatever excellencies
it may have lacks the chief requisites Of
a sermon. It is like 2 sword which has
a polished blade, jewclled hilt and a
gorgeous scabbard, but yet will not cut,
and therefore to all real use. is no
sword. The truth properly presented,
has an edge it pierces to the dividing
asunder Of soul aud spirit, it is a dis
cerner Of the thoughts and intents of
the heart.

But Mr. G's jealousy was aroused.
Though he had pledged himself to keep
the marriage secret, he could not en-
dure this tantalizing interference. He
therefore disclosed to a friend that he
was married to Miss T., and that Or
lando spent more than one-half of the
time with his wife, poaching on his pre-
serves. This friend took Orlando one
side, and stated the fact to him. He
would not believe it-he knew better.
He immediately went to Miss Z. with
the statement, and she promptly pro-
nounced it false. He was then so sat
ished that he made a bet with his in
tormant. He staked $50 dollars
against new buggy worth $3.50, that
the statement was false The bet was
accepted, and Orlando Immediately in
formed Miss T., who told him he was
sure to win the buggy. Accordingly
be and his informant got into a buggy
and drove to the place where the mar
rlage was performed, found the clergy
man who ofiiciated, and obtained a
certificate of Mr.. G's marriage with
bliss Z.
Orlando fastened to lay the certifi-
cate before Miss Z. She at once pro-
nounced it a forgery-said she was not
married to Mr.. G., nor never would be.
She said she thought him Git is not,
perhaps, best to state what she said on
this subject, and it is therefore omit
ted, i'm fact she should never live
with him.
BY this time the affair got noised
about, and as soon as the twilight dis
appeared, sundry bugles, tin horns,
goose quills, tin pans, and other instru-
ments Of music began to appear around
the house of the father of the lady, and
to make sundry musical sounds, the
harmony of which was not so pleasant
as it might have been under other cir
cumstances. All at once the lady of
our story disappeared. An immediate
search was instituted. A party who
were searching the barn with lanterns,
found Mr.. G. and Orlando, not on the
fields where Troilus met Diomedes, but
on the hay NOW, talking over their mu-
tual sufferings and grievances. The
result: the lady did not get so far
away that she did not return; Orlando
became convinced that she was in fact
married, and, like true hero, conclu-
ded to submit to the force of circuln-
stances.
Mr.. G. and his wife are living togeth-
er, as happily as the case will allow
Orlando is now free man, waiting for
something to turn up.
