TEE PARsON.


When 1 was young, and fond Of noise,
And wore my first gray homespun jacket,
And fought stout battles with the boys,
And filed my fathers house with racket,
Our well beloved pastor died,
Aud lott behind him scores Of weepers-
As well rs lesser props-and sleepen
lie was patriarch wise and gray,
One Of the Old-time Christian scholars,
Who chcered Affections weary way,
And gave tn oppressed advice-and dollar
The matrons' love for him, ~ last,
Sublimed almost 10 veneration,
For he'd baptized ono-half the past
Aud all the present generation.
Outside the church. the good man held
A comprehensive supervision,
And village quidnuncs were compelled
To bow before his calm decision.
. Though party strife might rage and swell,
Or skeptlcs raise some knOtty question,
There came no storm he could not quell,
NJ doubt too grave for his digestion.
] do remember well the scene
When, all the congregation seated,
lie closed the book with royorent miCn,
And twice the pregnant toxt repeated
And then, a. Influenced from above,
His heart with holy themes expanding
Appealed 10 Faith and Christian Love,
As well us human understanding
Ills looks his tones, his earnest ways,
Form one u memory's pleasing pictures
AS ho In strong but homely phrase
Impaired hope, or uttered structures.
The velvet cap he always wore
Whoneer ho thumbed the pulpit cushion
Looined like n beacon from the shore,
To warn US sinners from porltion.
The best Of mos cross must bear
SO Providence or Fate contrive il;
or private griefs he had his share,
And some that were not quite so'privato.
lie might conceal the smouldering fro
Ofmental or domestic trial,
But troubles with the wranging choir
Were patent as their own bass-yiol.
0fcourse there was among his charge,
Ono busy, meddling, ancient maiden,
Who like fre-ship, roamed at large,
With furtive stores of scandal laden
She scattered brands of discord Free
She slandercd and annoyed the parson.
Till oil agreed she ought to DO
Indicted for constructive a9sOI.
On Wednesday nights he always made
To us quiet pastoral visit;
So, when the bell his touch betrayed
My mother never asked, "Who is itl'
But wheeling out the easy chair.
With its inviting arms of leather,
She laid his pipe, with thoughtful care,
And steel tobacco-box together.
Those genial times were mellow ripe
Whom folk were not inclined to bicker
IL ministers enjoyed pipe
And slipped n social glass Of liquor;
80 while his cheerful fuaturoc tsio,y0d,
And smoko-wreaths circled TO the ceiling
His talk in streams Of wisdom flowed,
Like waters from a fount Of healing.
We loved the man, royerod him too
As who did not that over know him2
Ills piety and kindness drew,
With cords Of love, all classes TO him.
Ills praise by men need not be Tipped
10 make our sorrowing hearts beat faster,
For memory holds secret crypt
Wherein Il shrined our sainted pastor.

IT'S A Pooh RULE THAT woN'T WORK
Born WATSON election day-Tuesday
of this week-a certain steamboat that
runs on one of tributaries Of the Missis-
sippi river was passing town in an adj
joining county where there was much ex-
element on the vote against the removal
of the county site. AS we heard the
story, the captain was urged to come
ashore with all hands, to vote against its
removal. He did so, and the "boys" had
plenty of lager as a consideration. The
boat soon put out from shore, and the
first point she made was some eighteen
miles above, in the same county. Here
everybody was for the removal. The
boat hauled up, and the boys went
ashore, and all voted for the remorG of
the county site. The result was that the
boys got plenty of lager without affect
ing the main question particle.-Eau

a PARAGRAPH FOR BLACK REPUBLICANS.
The New Orleans B~lletn says:
awe fling down fearlcssly, alike to the
most fiery and furious aboitionist and to
the coolest paychologcr and philosopher,
the broad and plain proposition, that
there Is not on the face of the earth u
number of the negro race, equalling the
number Of slaves in the South that can
compare fayorably with the latter in res
pect to the degree Of civilization which
they exhibit. VIII any Of those who
talk so Aippantly about what they know
so little, take up the proposition -
Further, the free blacks of the North are
not superior, in any desirable qualities of
the head OF heart, to an equal number of
slaves in the South. If these are the
grand results of the social institution of
the South, what do all tho twaddle and
incoherent fanfaronade, i'll temper and
abuse of the South for it amount to? If
the people of the North and West will
not have free blacks longer among them,
and if they arc driven to the necessity of
devising the most absurd schemes to get
rid of them, why, in the name Of common
sense do they seek to increase the number
of the class of persons whom they do not
desire and will not longer tolerate?
