MY RAILWAY COMPANION.
BY CLARA AUGUSTA.

A year ago was confirmed CID bachelor
[ scoffed at the women-God bless them -
and in the club room, on the street, at the
evening party, and everywhere else where
could get an audience, I always took the op-
portunity of discoursing at large on the
faults and failings Of the gentle sex.
And I am going to tell you what made me
thus misanthropic. IF it had not been fol-
Fanny Gray, it would never have happened
Naturally, am happy to say, am one Of
the bcst-tcmpered most generous~hartcd fcl
lows in the world, but early in life I had q
disappointment in love and you know dis
appointment Of that kind is sufficient to
change the whole course of an individuals
life. I could instance a great many distin-
guished men as cases in point, if | were Sc
disposed.
My disappointment occurred, as ! said
early in life; very early, in fact. | was but
seventeen, and she was fourteen. We went
to school togetl e., and I used to help her
over the bad places in the road, and in vul-
gar fractions and from helping her in diff.
Guilty, got to loving her. And here let me
throw out hint to mankind at large. Never
get to assisting woman in trouble, unless
you are willing she should win your heart !;
for she'll be sure to do it, whether she wants
to or not. Man is an animal that enjoys be-
ing looked up to, and being asked advice Of;
and if woman once dcfers to him, and gets
him to decide things for her, he'll just as
surely fall in love with her as he's living.
Fanny was pretty girl. Every body said
SO, and It was an undeniable fact She had
yellow hair, all crinklcs and curls; and
brown eyes, and such white skin, and the
prettiest little feet and hands in the world
Why, my hand isn't large one, but could
hold both Of hers in one Of mine and moi
half try.

The PROSTATE South to the Mongrel North
BY PAUL HAYNE.

BY PAUL HAYNE.
Mid the tumult, the hurry, the madness,
Of the strifes that convulse you to-day
Mid the echoes Of frantical gladness
That the Blue is still high Ger the Gray
Are yet dear to the tempest which sunders
The last ties that bind us to faith,
Are deaf to the roll of the thunders
Forerunning the blackness of death +?
IT'S true that they bearIbut distant
Faint menace from lands of despair;
Where the Spirit once proudly resistant,
Hath sighed its last gasp on the air;
But fate mutters low in that warning,
And the South-winds are laden with doom
Aye! crush the wild omen with scorning
Aye! dance on the verge of your tomb!
You have swathed us with cloud-palls of sorrows
Your breath was the breath Of Simoons-
Ye have stolen all light from our morrows,
And withered our freshest heart blooms
But the Hates your blind fury hath planted,
The dragons teeth sown in your ire,
As from heat of Hell's burrows enchanted,
Grow warm, and burst upwards in fire!
Armed warrior-demons Of ravage,
Unquelled by a spell Of an art,
Fierce, monstrous, untamably savage,
And thirsting for blood from the heart;
Your hearts that are rudy and swollen,
Net ours, so drained and so cold
With no food but those memories olden
Of tale that long since hath been told.
Do ye think to escape, 0 my masters?
Do ye say, it's a dream of sick thought?
A nightmare of phantasmal disasters
To remain all unfeared and unwrought
O! fools, and O! blinded! ye see not
How swiftly fates cohorts unite,
o. fools, and 0 blind ye can flee not
That wrath in its terrible might!
Not drop Of the life-blood of heroes
By your hireling Vandals laid low,
BNt shall poison the sleep Of the heroes
Who caused the red torrents to flow;
Not pang of our wives and our daughters,
Or slam, or all maddened with doles,
But shall pierce thro' hot visions of slaughters,
To the depths Of your agonized souls
Soon, soon ye shall compass the anguish
Wars visage bent near you, must bring,
The vague fears that shoulder and languish,
The keen pains that harrow and sting;
By your thresholds blanched sorrowful faces,
On your marts the gaunt figures Of care,
Deep wailings in desolate places,
Winged wild Ger the pail and the bier!
With the terrible woe that comes only
When Hope has Teen strangled in gore,
When distraught, and despairing and lonely,
You stand on a blood deluged shore
With the last friend of Liberty persisted,
With the last chance of ransom undone,
And the fair face of freedom, uncherished,
Lying mangled and stark in the sun.
With the knowledge this fearful undoing
Your hand and yours only, hath wrought,
Till the blackness of darkness and ruin
Shall fall like madness on thought;
And you faint and sink down in dumb languor,
Appalled,, and accursed by your Past
For the flames Of Gods infinite anger
Have reached you, and scathed you at last!

Boutwell,.

While Mr.. boutwell, is busy elec.
tioneeriDg for himself, his subordinates
are busy helping themselves out of the
Treasury of the United States. Immense
sugar frauds have been perpetrated at
New Orleans, and half a dozen of the
officials there are implicated in the
transackions. That boutwell, is run
ming his own political machine to the
neglect of the public business, there can
scarcely be any doubt.
The New York Times says:
The only member of Grants Cabinet
who appears to take any active interest
in the elections in the Southern States
is Secretary Boutwell,. We do net COM
plain of him for this. He is at the head
of the most important department of
the Government, in which there is a
very great amount of work to he at
tended to.
boutwell, is using or rather abusing
his position at the head of the Treasury
to make party for, himself In the
Radical ranks, now, the cry is-BoUT-
WELL tor next President! The custo-
doian of the Treasury and the dis
penser of its patronage will easily dis
tance his Radical competitors for the
nomination; it really is not fair for
BOUTWELL, to be making this use of his
official position.

The GrY for GnoliR.

The New York Times is in favor of re-
pesling or modifying the act of Con-
gress prohibiting the Coolic trade, so as
to offer no impediment to the importa-
tion OF Chinese LAHORE The editor as,
sumes that "there is no longer any
doubt of the great value and economy of
Chinese coolies as agricultural laborers;
they have been tested as common labor
ers on various public improvements in
the West ana have been found more
economical than others, but they have
not proved to be available as skilled
laborers. There is no doubt that the
Pacific coast needs laborers, and that
Asia will most probably supply that de-
mand Tor many years TO come. The
conditions, In an industrial sense, are.
therefore, somewhat changed from what
they were when the law was passed, and
favor its modification. The conditions,
politically and socially, are also mate.
rally altered, and these also favor the
modification OF the law. Ts prohibit
the coolie trade entirely is to prohibit
the immigration of the Chinese. The
coolies are too poor to immigrate with
out help: their government win moi
send them, and hence those in need o.
their labor will have to supply the
means of transportation.
