LABOR.


There's never-dying chorus
Breaking on the human ear, :.
In the busy town before us
Voices loud, and deep, and clear,
This is labor's endless ditty;
This is toll prophetic voice,
Sounding through the town and city,
Bidding human hearts rejoice.
Sweeter than the poets singing
Is that anthem Of the free;
Blither is the anvil's ringing
Than the song of bird or bee.
There's glory in the rattle
Of wheels mid factory gloom
Richer than e'er snatched from battle,
Are the troohies of the loom.
See the skilfiil mason raising
Gracefully yon towering pile;
Round the forge and furnace blazing
Stand the noble men of toll.
They are heroes of the people,
Who the wealth of nations raise;
Every dome, and spire, and stecple
Rear their heads in labor's praise,
Glorious men of truth and labor,
Shepherds Of the human fold,
That shall lay the brand and sabre
With the barbarous things of old.
Priests and prophets of creation;
Bloodless heroes in the fight;
Toilers for the worlds salvation
Messengers Of peace and light.
Speed the plow and speed the harrow;
Peace and plenty send abroad;
Refter far the shade and harrow
Than the cannon or the sword.
Each invention, each improvement,
Renders weak oppression's rod
Every sign and every movement
Brings us nearer truth and God.

The weekly North-Carolina standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 186?-1869, 1868-09-30
Gen. Rufus Barringer.

Read the able and manly letter of Gen.
Rufus BaTinger in to-day's paper. 1t will
be seen that he accepts the nomination of
Grant and Colfax Elector in the 9th North
Carolina District, and will exert his great
influence in the interest of peace and good
feeling.
Gen. Barringer is well and favorably
known as an accomplished gentleman, of
large means, of high social standing, and
a leading member of the bar in this State.
Though opposed to secession, he entered the
Southern army and fought CALAMITY, having
worked his way up from Captain to Briga-
dier-General. None can say aught against
his private character, or charge that ambi-
ton has caused him to join the standard of
the Republican party. Like the dashing
Longstreet and the gallant Wickham, he
knows what war is. and is not to be driven
from his honest convictions of right and jus
tice by the wild and senseless cry about
negro supremacy.
He states the issues of the war fairly and
squarely, and all unprejudiced minds must
say he is not mistaken when he says the
people of the United States have suffered
too much in the late rebellion to throw away
the results Of the war or stop at any half
way house.
We specially commend the letter to young
men who fought under Lee, with General
Barringer.
