A GRAND OLD POEM.

Il GRAND OLD POEM
Who shall judge a man from manners?
Who shall know lin by his dress
Paupers may be fit for princes.
Princes fit for something less;
Crumpled shirt and dirty jacket,
May beclothe the golden ore
OF the deepest thought and feeling
Satin vests could do no more.
There are springs Of crystal nectar
Ever yelling out Of stone;
There are purple buds and golden.
Hidden, crushed and overgrown:
God, who counts by souls, not dresses,
Loves and prospers you and me,
While he values thrones the highest
But as pebbles in the sea.
Man, appraised above his fellows,
Oft forget. his fellows then;
Masters, rulers, lords remember
That your meanest minds are men,
Men by honor, men by feeling,
Men by thought and men by fame,
Claiming equal rights to sunshine,
In mans ennobling name.
There are foam-embroidered oceans,
There are little weed-clad rills;
There are feeble inch-high sapplirgs,
There are cedars on the hills;
God, who counts by soul, not station,
Loves and prospers you and me;
For to him all famed distinctions
Are as pebbles in the sea.
Toiling hands alone are builders
OF a nations wealth or fame;
Titled lazine,s is pensioned,
Fed and fattened on the same;
BY the sweat Of others foreheads,
Living only to rejoice;
While poor mans outraged freedom
Vainly lifteth up its voice.
Truth and justice are eternal,
Born with loveliness aud light;
Secret wrong shall never prosper
While there is sunny right;
G cd, whose word-heard voice is Singh
Boundless love to you and NO.
Sinks oppression with its titles,
AS the pebbles in the sea.

schoolmaster, the rays which make
the little day we call life, radiat,
from the God-swept circle of tht
hearth-stone.
Then she sings an old lullaby she
sang to mother-her mother sang il
to her-but she does not sing il
through, and falters ere it is done.
She rests her head upon her hand,
and it is silent in the old kitchen.
Something glitters down between her
finger in the freight, and it looked
like rain in the soft sunshine. The
old grandmother is thinking when
she first heard the song, and of the
voice that sang it; when a light
haired and light-hearted girl, she
hung aronnd the mothers chair, non
saw the shadows of the years to
come. OH the days that are no
more! What words unsay, what
deeds undo, to set back the ancient
clock Of time.
So our little hands were forever
clinging to her garments, and stay
ing her as if from dying, for long
ago she had done living for herself,
and lived alone in us. But the old
kitchen wants a presence to-day and
the rush bottomed chair is tenant
less.
How she used to welcome us
when we were grown and came once
more to the homestead.
We thought we were men and wo-
men, but we were children there; the
old-fashioned grandmother was
blind in the eyes, but she saw her
heart as she always did. We threw
our long shadows through the open
door, and she felt them as they fell
over her form, and she looked dim
ly up and said:
Edward l know, and Lucy's voice
can hear, but whose is that otheri
1t must be James, for she had al
most forgotten the folded hands.
Oh, no! not James for she-let me
see-she is waiting for me, isn't she?
And the old grandmother wondered
and wept.
It's another daughter, grandmoth-
er, that Edward has brought fol
your blessing.
Has she blue eyes, my son? Put
her hand in mine, for she is nv late
born, the child of my old age. Shall
I sing you a song, children? And
she is idly fumbling for toy, vel
come gift for the children that have
come again.
One of US, men as we thought we
were, is weeping; she hears the hall
suppressed sobs, and she says, as she
extends her feeble hand, 'Here my
child, rest upon your grandmother s
sh) h)ulder; she will protect you from
all harm"
Come, children, sit around the fire
again. Shall 1 sing you a song or
tell you a story? Stir the fire, it is
cold; the nights are growing colder.
The clock in the corner struck
nine, the bed time of those old days.
The song Of life was indeed sung, the
story told. 1t was bed time at last.
Good night to the grandmother.
The old-fashioned grandmother was
no more, and we miss her forever.
But we will set up tablet in the
midst of the heart, and write on ii
only this: "Sacred to the memory
Of the Old-fashioned grandfather;
God bless her forever"

Huohred-An Outraged Parent Done

1uchred-An Outraged Parent Done
for.
Not thousand miles from Broad
way and Third Street there lives a
gentleman, with his wife and two
daughters. Several years ago a
young gentleman of our city became
particularly attentive to one of the
young ladies,much to the annoyance
and dislike of her parents, who used
all their persuasion with their child
to stop, if possible, any further at
tachment. This, as is the case in
nearly every instance, only united
them the closer. Finally the objec-
ton of the mother was openly spo-
ken to the young man, to which he
seemed very readily to acquiesce,
and his department toward her was
so gentlemanly that she felt sorry
for her rash assertions. Still, how
ever, she could not see her Mary
Ann fill any other sphere, nor form
any other connection than that she
had planned for her. The young
couple had then to resort to clandes-
tine meetings. Thus two years
passed, and the intimacy grew so
bold that it was noticed by several
friends of the family, and it soon
reached the ears Of the old gentle
man.
About a week ago he called his
daughter to him, and hearing from
her a sad state of affairs, he immed-
lately sought the young man at his
place Of business, and calling him
aside told him emphatically that he
had trifled with his daughters honor
and grossly disgraced both her and
his family. He then demanded that
the young man should marry his
daughter or suffer the just punish
ment of an enraged and outraged
father. This did not suit the second
party, and being some 1hst aYerse to
being forced, he coldly told the faith
er that he might be coaxed, but to
be driven was against his nature
This surprised the gentleman, for he
had thought the young man void o.
any great courage, but seeing such
was not the case, he spoke more
mildly, and in a friendly but firm
manner proposed to deed to the girl
fine house and lot, situated near
Second and College Streets, and give
the young man five thousand dollars
and if he proved worthy of the trust
to advance him in business.
"Well, said the incorrigible young
man, "give me the papers to that eff
feet in my own hands, and l will
agree to any proposition you make. "
The gentleman said it should be
done the coming day, and the young
man promised to get his license and
be married the same day if the old
gentleman insisted. The day came,
and with it came the gentleman with
his notes and deed. The two met
at q commission house on Main
Street. After taking seats the faith
er handed the deed and money to a
third party, to be delivered to the
young man when he fulfilled his
promise.
The young man, to the consterna-
tion of all, pulled from his pocket a
certificate of marriage with the old
gentleman's daughter six months
previous. A taubleau followed, and
the old gentleman, accompanied by
his son-in-law, repaired to his house,
where said young gentleman is now
installed in the most comfortable
manner.

POETICAL PROvERs.
From American Literature
BY THOMAS s. COLLIER.


l believe that an English review
once said that "there was no great
American poet" That, according
to the English way of thinking, may
be true but, Judging from the fact
that more volumes of Longfellow,
Lowell, Bryant, and other American
writer's are sold than volumes by an
equal number of English writers,
makes it rather a hard matter to de-
eide which is the more correct, the
judgment Of the reviewer or the taste
of the people. Certain it is that
our living poets have more vigor of
thought and strength of utterance
than any other nation can show; and
there are many gems that sparkle
with that true fire of genius scatter
ed through their writings.
From some, it is impossible to
take single verses or cOuplets with
out marring their power, but others
give thoughts that can readily be
detached with no detraction from
their strength and beauty, and that
still seem In the poem to be stone
that cannot be parted with. In the
following selection, 1 have simply
taken those ideas, and if the favor
ties of those who read this are not
herein mentioned, they must not feel
agrieved:
John Trumbull thinks that
No man e'er felt the halter draw
With good opinion of the law.
And further.
But optics sharp it needs, ween
To see what is not to be seen.
But in short sayings like the pre-
ceding, no poet of our land is more
than James Russell Lowell,
as witness
They are slaves who dare not be
In the right with two or three.
