GREEN BE THE TURF ABOVE TEE

THE following beautiful lines were write
By FIIz GREENE HALLEcK on the death Of RoI
MAN DRAKE, the author of "The Culprit Fay,
snd the phrase, ga bold, bad man." The IN
two lines Of the first verse were placed as q
epiiaph on DRAKEis monument;l
Green be the turf above thee.
Friend of my better days;
None knew thee but to love thee,
None named thee but TO praise.
Tears fell when thou vert dying,
From eyes unused to weep;
And long where thou art lying,
VIII tears the cold earth steep.
When hearts whose worth are proven,
Like thine are laid in earth,
Then should wreath be woven,
To tell the world their worth.
And who woke each morrow,
To clasp thy hand in mine
Who shared each Joy and sorrow,
Whose veal and woe were thine
It shall be mine to braid it
Around thy faded brow;
But I've in vain essayed IT,
And find can not now.
While Memory bids me weep thee,
Nor thought, nor words are free,
The grief is fixed too deeply,
That mourns Man like Thee!

MATRIMosY.-Whst crusty old fel-
low be must have been, who wrote the
following:
Look at the great mass Of marriages
that occur over the whole world; what
poor contemplate affairs they are? A
few soft looks, a walk, a dance, a
squeeze Of the hand, popping Of the
question. a purchasing Of a ring. a
minister, ride or two in a hired car
risge, night in a country inn, and the
matter is over. For five or six weeks
two sbeepish looking persons are seen
dandling on each others arms, looking
at waterfalls. or gurgling wine and cakes;
then everything falls into the most
monotonous routine; the wife is on one
side Of the hearth, the husband on the
other, and little quarrels. little pleas.
ures. little cares, and little children.

JEFFERSON DAVIS.

Jefferson Davis!-All hail!
Great Champion Of secession battle!
Lord of rice tierce and cottonbale!
OF sugar box and human cattle.
Around thy temples false and dark,
Thy own secession wreath reposes-
Thysslf brother patriarch.
OF Isaac, Abraham and Moses!
Why not? Their households rule is thine,
Like theirs, thy bondmen feel its rigor,
And thine, perchance, as eoncubine,
Some swarthy prototype of Hagar.
Why not7 Like those good men of old,
Secession is thy chosen station,
Like them thou payest thy rites to gold
An Aaron's calf Of Notification.
With perjured souls-must we then,
From Anarchy's huge jaws to save US,
Upon our own free working men,
Confer masters special favor?
Whips for the back-chains for the heels
Hooks for the nostrils of Democracy,
Before it spurns as well as feels,
The riding Of the Aristoeracy7
Ho! laboring men of every trade,
10! an cordwainers, leave your leather,
And wear the yoke in kindness made,
And clank your needful chains together;
Down let all the rough farmers hasten,
Soon from the workshop and the field,
And thank us for each chain we fasten.
Disunion in this Northern land!
tell YOU Southern traitors, neveri
Our rocky hills and iron strand
Are free, and shall be free forever.
Vallandigham may croak away,
All traitorous prints in dust shall moulder
Ere Davis hateful yoke shall lay,
Unbroken on Northern shoulder!
No, JEFF Dsvisl keep thy words,
For the bank plunderers Of the city,
Whose robber right is in their swords;
For Southern thieves and Lynch commit
tees,
Go tell Of slavery's hateful state,
And swear that negro skulks are better,
To guard the freedom of the South,
Than parchment scroll, or charters letter.
Rail on JEFF. Streams which brawlmost loud
Along their course are oitenest shallow,
And loudest to the doubling crowd,
The coward publishes his valor.
The Floyds and Pillows have been shown,
To be of strict satanic grade,
All right in perjury they own,
And lies their only stock in trade.
Hall Davis, haiH thy name is heard,
With mingled dread upon the Nevas boz
ders,
And "turban'd Turk, and Poland's lord,
And Metternich are thy applauders.
Go-if thou lov'st such fame-and share
The mad Ephesian's base example
The holy bands of Union tear,
And clap the torch to freedoms templel
Do this-Heaven's frown-thy country's ours,
Quilts fiery torture ever burniDg-
The quenohless thirst Of Tantalus,
And Ixion's wheel forever turning
A name, for which, 'the plainest friend
Below" his own would barter never
These shall be thine unto the end
Thy damning heritage forever.

STORY READIEG.-At a certain age,
children of both sexes delight in stories.
1t is as natural as it is for them to skip,
run, and jump, instead of walking at
the staid pace of their grandparents
Now, some parents, very well meaning
ones, too, think they do a wise thing
when they deny this most innocent
craving any legitimate outlet. They
wish to cultivate they say, ga taste for
solid reading" They might as well
begin to feed a newborn baby on meat
lest nursing should vitiste its desire for
it. The taste for meat will come when
the child has teeth to chew it, so will
the taste for "solid reading" as the
mind natures, j. E., If it is not made to
hate it by having it forced violently
upon its attention during the story Low.
ing period. That 'there is time for
all things" is truer Of nothing more
than this. Better far that parents
should admit it and wisely indulge it,
than by too severe repression give oc.
easion for steady promiscuOus reading

" A Friend to the Uninn," to be found in an
other column. Mr.. CHEEK, we know, has
suffered at the hands Of the Arkansas Ga6--
rilias, because he would not connive at their

cal who would rob slave, must, indeed. be q
villain Of the deepest dye. Night before last,
four robbers followed in pursuit of the barber,
Dixie, from Court Square down Second street
TO Beal, from Beal down st. Martin towards
Vance, when one Of them stspned up and
grabbed Dixie by the shoulders. Dixie shout
ed murder murder at the same time using a
club which he held in his hand, and by means
OF which he extricated some Of the robbers
blood, which was visible in spots on his pants
afterwards. The shouts Of Dixie brought 3
policeman to the srene of conEsct, who suc-
eeeded in arresting t;sv TgHErug rubber, whIIe
the others made their escape. Their design
was evidently to get money, Of which they
supposed Dixie 10 possess considerable
amount. As this is the second attempt made
lately 20 rob Dixie Of his pecuniary EARNINGS

little Of il with him on the street at night.
