THE BOW OF PROMISE,

Hope on, sweet heart, no fears should aeo]
Thy horizon to day;
know that clouds obsoured thy morn,
But they shall pass away
The spirit born amid doep gloom,
And heavy clouds of sorrow,
Must look aloft TO Hopes bright bow.
And wait tho coming morrow.
What mean these clouds Of doubt that rise
With angry, frowning mein9
Code hand Ger ruleth oil sweet heart
His wonders we have seen.
From out the depths of dark despair,
We much of good may borrow,
And trusting in His grace to,day,
Become ellis heirs" to morrow.
Be not dlsmayed, sweet heart, to find
Life's tompestuous ocoan.
For Faith has chlmed tho tempest's rape.
And stillcd tho waves oommotion.
Lo whom the storm its powor has spent
The wailing winds their sorrow,
Nature displays her bow through toars-
Apromise Of tomorrow.
Though life Is short, the way is dark,
We know not what's in store;
We elabor zoalously in Hope.
We can do nothing moro.
Lift up thy dropping soul, faint heart;
BE not cast down Of sorrows,
Tho sun may set in clouds to day
Twill rise again tomorrow.

The Yankee.

Ho is compound mixture of impu.
denco, impertinonco, inquisitivcncss
seliishishness, ponuriousncss, ingrati.
tude, malignity and cunning.
He is religious thiof--a psalm
singing hypocrite-a praise-God liar
"a loud-braying swinJlcr, and a
smooth-tongued deceiver.
He was conceived in inimuitv.
brought forth in sin, reared in crime,
educated in tho arts of stealing, and
has followed rascality for n living all
his'lifc.
He will sacrifice his last friend if
he can make dime by it, or he would
soil the dead body of his grandmother
fol. soap grease for two bits.
When he hires negro to work for
him, ho has specified in the contract
that no is to charge fifty cents per
hour for every hour lost, and at the
ond of the year he always has tho ne
gro largely in his debt,
If BIO contracts to feed them. he
buys rotten bacon and meal at low
figures, and sells it to his hands at
the usual price for good articles.
If he sells you a pound Of sugar, one
third of it will bo sand.
Tho whiskoy he sells you is two
thirds water, with littlo tobacco and
red pepper put in to make it fiery.
He don't think of, or study about
anything, except how to swindIo some
body.
lie always has his carpotbag stuffed
with pinchback jowolry, which he
sells to the ignorant for pure gold.
On rainy days, when he can't 60 out,
he sits in the house and manufactures
wooden hams and nutmegs.
Ifhe desires one, of you to do a lit
tie job for him, for which Southern
gentleman would give you half dol.
lar. he will either give you q three
cent piece or tell you to call again, as
he has no change.
He cares nothing about you except
to get your votes, and for that pur-
pose he will 60 and eat with you or
kiss your ragged children, If a hog
had vote he would do tho same thing
with them. ' s,
He goes to church on Sunday, sings
