The Grumbling Animal.

AA0 N1u01U1IuS Au1Iudl
Man is a grumbling animal
There are creatures that roar, yell

ry, and the parrot and macaw can
laugh as heartily as Christian.
There is nothing, however, in the
vocal performances of the brute
creation that can be paired off
with the human grumbler. Your
lions, tigers, and such "Gerce
fowl" are outspoken beasts, that
say their say boldly. Even the
smaller GROWERS of the wilderness
do not manable their displeasure,
but roll out their angry gutterals
intelligibly when interrupted at
supper or crossed in love.
BY a wise and merciful dispen-
sation of Providence, when a.
man has nothing to grumble at,
he can grumble at nothing, and
thus keep his peculiar faculty from
rusting. In sooth, the propensity
is never more active than when it
has nothing tangible to excite it. !
When the waves Of misfortune
run mountain high, no semi-tonic
nutterings are heard from the
ord of creation. He let's out his
,hest-notes then, or is calm and
silent. But when skies are bright, !
ne will grumble at his own shad- {
DIV. If married, however, he pre- !
fers grumbling at his wife.
Be it understood that the angel

A "Poor White Voter.

As M offset to the story of the ignor-
Gnt colored voter who did not know his
age or comprehend an oath, the Griffin.
(Ga) Union tells how one of the "poor
i ;iiites" passed his examination by the
registering board:
Some days ago it was our prerogatiye
to register, and while in the office
party of white men from the coun-
try came IN and exercised the privilege.
One of them, rather green looking fel-
low, in answer to the question" What is
your name?" answered, ''Dick." Some time
was spent by the officer before correct
understanding was arrived at.
"Where were you born?"
'In the house, l reckon"
Hers another investigation followed.
Glow old are you ~
"A year oldcr'n Peg"
''But how many years old are you?

"Where do you liye?" -.
''IIG1ives way out yender, filrder en- ye

One of his companions answered, the
question, when he wuz directed to hold up
his right hand, & in respose to the oath said
"What's all that ere about, mister?" The
officer explained the matter, and the un-
Sae:,ished citizen made his mark and de-

SELECT POETRY.
A Railway Lyric.

And so we go, along the snow,
And past the frozen rivers;
The law streams are in their dreams,
No willow DER them shivers
We roll along with jest and song,
Between the whitencd ridges;
We whistle and shreak, in maddest trca
Beneath the startled bridges.
Ard so be merry, my love, my love,
Though friends and fortune lower;
For hither / come to thee my love,
At sixty miles an hour.
With galloping stride we swiftly ride
And pass the dullard stations,
And out in the whiriing din
Disturb the fir plantations
Our whistle thrills along the hills,
And screams in merry malice,
And runs in riot to kill the quiet.
OF all the doing valleys!
And so be merry, my love, &c
The telegraph wires divide the spires.
Of little country churches
Ard cut in shreds the-rounded heads
Of elms, oaks and birches;
The demon coke dissolves III smoke,
Like Hassen in the story;
And steam rs white as marble light
Floats upwards into glory
And so be merry, my love; &c.
Nv senses swim, my eyes are dim,
Like sullen Sam of Tarshi>h;
IcInnnt see the vapor lice
Afar across the marshes;
For in "A maze seem to gaZc
Upon northern maiden,
Who signs for me as yeaIninay
As Menus did for Adon!
And so be merry, my love, &c.
We rush and scream, and in dream,
Past lawns and trees and fountains,
Until we view the dusky blue
OF distant northern mountains.
Lo. see arise, into the skies,
The smoky city'S splendor,
Where waiteth she, my love, for me,
Pray Heaven blessing send her!
And SO be merry. my love, &c.
