Luther's Hymn

Luther's Hymn
BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.
We wait beneath the furnace-blaat
The pangs of transformation
Not painlessly does God recast
And mould anew the nation.
Hot burns the fire
Where wrongs expire
Nor spares the hand
That from the land
Uproots the ancient evil
The hand-breadth cloud the sages feared
Its bloody rain is dropping;
Ike poison plant the fathers spared
All else is overtopping.
East, West, South, North,
1t curses the earth
And fraud and lies
Live only in its shadow.
What gives the Whcat-felds blades of steel?
What points the rebels cannon
What sets the roaring rabbls's heel
On the cid star-spangled pennon
What breaks the oath
Of the men O the South
What whets the knife
For the Unions life
Hark to the answer: SLAVERY
Then waste no blows on lesser foes
In strife unworthy freemen
God lifts to-day the veil and shows
The features of the demon
o North and South,
Its victims both,
Can you not cry,
"Let Slavery die ~
And union find in freedom
What though the cast-out spirit tear
The nation in his going,
We who have shared the guilt must share
The pang of his o'erthrowing!
Whats'er the loss,
Whatever the cross,
Shall they complain
Ofpresent pain
Who trust in God hereafter?
For who that leans on His right arm
Was ever yet forsaken2
What righteous cause can suffer harm
If ne its part has taken
Though wild and loud,
And dark the cloud,
Behind its folds
His hand upholds
The calm sky of tomorrow!
Above the maddening cry for blood,
Above the wild war-drumming,
Let Freedoms voice be heard, with good,
The evil overcoming.
Give prayer and purse
To stay the Curse,
Whose wrong we shaIe,
Whose shame we bear,
Whose end shall gladden. Heaven
In vain the bells Of war shall ring
OF triumphs and revenges,
While still is spared the evil thing
That sewers and estranges
But, blest the ear
That yet shall hear
The jubilant bell
That rings the knel
Of Slavery forever!
Then let the selfish lip be dumb,
And hushed the breath Of signing,
Before the joy of peace, must come
The pains Ofpurifying.
God give US grace
Each in his place
To bear his lot,
And murRuring not,
Endure and wait and labor

A Disappointed Woman.

A few months since gentleman had the
misfortune to lose his wife, literary lady

Der Of weeks, bright idea entered the
head of the Widower. He thought that he
could do something to lessen bis sorrow,
and for that purpose he called upon lady
of his acquaintance ana requested to speak
word with her in private. Thinking that
she was about to receive proposal, the
lady prepared to listen with becoming res
ignation. 'Myrra, said he with down

also suffered a sigh to escape her. My

cannot even communicate with Texas, az

VINO SAW THE srrER?--Tbe richest thing

Who SAW THE STEER 1.-The richest thing
of the season, if we except some of the
follieS of secession, came off the other day
in the neighborhood of the market. The
greenest Jonathan imaginable decked out In
slouch hat, a long blue frock, and pair of
cowhide shoes as big as gondolas, with a
huge whip under bIr arm, stalked into a bill.
lard saloon where half dozen persons were
trundling the worries and after recovering
from the surprise consequent upon first
visit TO such gorgeously furnished apart
ments, he inquired If ''any on EN- had seen
stray steer, affirming that sthe blasted
critter had got away as he came through
teown with his drove, tother day, and he
hadn't seen nothin' on i'm sencen The
bloods denied all knowledge of the animal
in question, and with much sly wiuking at
each other, proceeded TO condole with bin
on his loss in the most heartfelt manner.
de watched the game with much interest,
as he evidently had never seen anything of
the kind before, and created much amuse-
ment by his demonstrations of delight when
good shot was made-"J "Jerusalam p being
a favorite lnterjection. At last he made
bold TO request the privilege of trying his
Skill, when he set the crowd in roar by
A1s "hhoiu tDOttlueulS. IlONPNtf, he
gradually got his hand in, and PLAYED as
well as could be expected of n greenhorn.-
All hands now began to praise him; which
so elated him that he began to imagine
himselfa second Phelan, and actually offered
10 bet dollar with his opponent, which of
course he lost. The loss and the laugh so
lrritated him that he offerd to play another
game and bet two dollars, which he pulled
out of big roll of bills; for it seems his
cattle had sold well, and be was quite flush
This bet he also lost, as the fool might have
known he would when, mad as a March
hare, he pulled out fifty -spot-the largest
bill he had-and offered to bet that on
another game. The crowd mustered around
and raised enough to cover it. at it they
went again, and, by some strange turn of
luck, greeny won. Elated beyond measure,
he now offered to pnt up the hundred he
had just won against another hundred. Of
course he couldn't blundcr into winning
another game, so they could now recover
what they had lost, and fleece the fellow out
OF his roll besides. SO they sent out for
famous player who happend to have money
enough to bet with, and another game was
played which greeny also won. Another
hundred was raised, and bet, and won; and
1t was not till he had bundered through
nail a dozen games, and, by some unac-
countable run of luck won them all-drain-
ing the pockets of his opponents of some
SIX or seven hundred dollars--that they
began to smell very large sized mice
When everybody got tired of playing,
Gawkey put on his frock, took his whip
under his arm, took his whip under bis
arm, and walked quietly on, turning round
at the door and remarking, "Gentlemen, if
any OF you should happen to see that steer,
wish you'd just let me know" At last
accounts they hadn't seen the steer. but
they came to the conclusion that they had
seen the elephant"
