POeIrV.
ONE DAY IN MAY.
BY D. N. JORDAN.

Dim was the woodland and air was the weather,
And blue the skies of the beautiful May.
When, laughing and singing. wandered together
With hearts attuned to the happy day.
We sought the shade where the birds were singing,
And busily building their summer nest,
Where the branches ever swaying and swinging,
Should rock the twittering brood to rest.
The leaves of the forest were green and tender,
The grass was velvet under our feet;
And tropical ferns In graceful splendor
Druopei over viOlets tender and sweet.
And the brook, released from its wintrY prison,
Sang o'er the pebbles, and laughed along;
And the meadow lilies, newly risen,
Drank in the JOY of the happy song.
The earth was psalm Of love and beauty,
Because of the buds and budding dOwers
And it seemed to us but happy duty
To linger there in the golden hours.
And never till life and its dreams over,
And the sun has set on my latest day.
Shall fade from my heart the face OF my lover,
Or the words that he said that day in May.
Smyrna times., 1872-11-13

A wife wanted her husband to sympathise
with her in a feminine quarrel, but he refused,
saying: I've lived long enough to know that
one woman is as good as another, if not
better" And [, retorted the exasperated
wife, "have lived long enough to learn that
one man is just as bad as another, if not
worse"

A gentleman, using his best endeavors to es-
cape treadng on the long waking train OF a

upon him 6erceIy and gave him some of the
long after marriage style of language. The
bachelor responded: Madame, again hum
bly, beg your pardon; l thought you had
passed some time ago"

FUNNY COMBINATIoN- "A correspondent at
the Sea Cliff camp meeting says it makes a
queer impression of ones mind to look first at
the inscription on the flag which floats from
the staff on the Tabernacle, and then at the
conspicuous notices in large type of the new
price of lots "The earth is the Lords
Lots 40 by GO feet. $3.50.

nights since at the Grand Opera House, New

one in the gallery called out Bet on Greeley"

"Sir," said an astonished landlady to trav-

to get a little"

FROM TEXAs.-Prof. Geo. W. Bowers,
Principal OF the Dcchcrd Male and Female
Institute, has returned from the Lone Star
State. whittier he went several weeks
since. A conversation had with him the
other day was full of interest, and we
hope he will pencil for our paper a brief
resume of his trip. He was in Tarrant and
other counties of northern Texas, within
one hundred and fifty miles, or so, of the
Indian Territory, and reports that the
depredations of the Indians are fearful.
People 90 armed, even in attending church.
Nevertheless, the Indians murder white
people daily, and steal cattle, then make
good their escape to their own country.
United States troops are there. but are
needed by the Radical State government
to perpetuate its power. which seems to
be more desirable to L. $. Grant than
the protection of the white people who
choose to think honesty and Democracy
preferable to theft and tyranny. Many
of the people living in Northern Texas
would move away if it were not for the
natural fear they have that their houses
would be burned and their valuable crops
laid waste. They live in hope that the
election of Horace Greeley will put an end
to the miserable burlcsque upon govern
ment which results from the rule of Il sell
fish military tyrant, whose misuse of the
power he possesses has caused weeds in
place of gardens; blood, ashes and tears,
instead OF fertility. beauty and joy. And
we believe their hope will be realized by
the election of Greeley, and to this end the
Home Journal would say:
Aid the dawning. Tongue and Pen!
Aid it, hopes of honest men.
Aid it. Paperl aid it Type!
Aid it, for the hour is ripe.
And our earnest must not slacken
Into play:
Men of Thought, and men of Action,
Clear the way"
Mr.. Bowers met with a number of per-
sons who formerly lived in this county,
and reports that they are doing well.
Money seems to be easy, but the discount
upon g~reenbacks is about ten per cent.
Gold is demanded for whatever you BUY.
and if paper money is offered it is dis
counted ten per cent. We here in Ten
nessee are glad enough to get greenbacks
and counterfeit shinplasters.
