EOH - ~
NIGHT AND DAY.


The day is thine
The long bright summer day,
From the FIRST dawning light till evening closes,
And all its merry birds aud blooming roses,
And all its golden beauty bid US say,
The day, o, Lord! is thine
The night is thine
The long, dark winters night,
flushing our birds to sleep our flowers cOncealing
But, by its host Of glowing stars, revealing,
Through the deep sky; thy glory and thy might
The night, D, Lord Is thine.
And lfe's brief day
Is also thine, when we
Mu.i work while light doth last for our dear
Master
Oh! that our sluggish feet eOuld travel faster,
And we with reader service give TO thee
Our life's fast festing day.
That darkest night
Is also thine, o, Lord
When thou sweet sleep to thy beloved giVess;
For while they needs must die, thou ever liVest,
But DER thy dear ones keepest watch and ward
TIL darkness ends in light.

Hard on the Tramps.

The governor of q prison in Cornwall,
England, has discovered an admirable
remedy to cure tramps and vagrants, in
casual wards and prisons, of the habit
of expressing their profound grief at the
buffets of fate by rending their gar
ments, thus placing society in ridicu-
lous position by compelling it to pro-
vide them with new wardrobes at the
very moment when it is least inclined
to bestow upon them any mark of it's
favor. When he finds a prisoner hud-
died up in a corner of his cell, covered
only with the cell rug, and his clothes
lying in heap of torn rags at his feet,
he sends for needle and thread, which
he gives to the clothes destroyer, in
forming him at the same time that he
will be fed on bread and water until he
has thoroughly reconstructed his gar
ments. This cure has been found to
work wonders, for long before the time
allowed by law for breadandwater diet
expires, the clothes are mended with
marvellous skill, and the intelligence of
the harjahip thus inflicted being con-
veyed by tramps on leaving the prison
to their friends and acquaintances, not
only induces them to resist the tempta-
ton of tearing up their clothes when
they are sheltered beneath it's roof, but
leads many of them to avoid confne-
ment altogether in an establishment
where they are exposed to such ungen-
tlemanly treatment.

Cards Exchanged.

The Montgomery (Ala) Avertiser
says: Ayoung aly of this city who
had just returned from school, sent her
card to her uncle, our old friend Colonel
c. Nj, with the letters II. S. V.
p. inscribed in one corner. The Colonel,
who didn't understand "R. S. V. p, 2"
and who didn't care.a darn if he didn't,
sent his card in reply-inscribing the
letters d. S. G. G. in the corresponding
corner. These were new initials to the
young lady. and when she met the Col
onel, asked what he meant by such out
landish initials?
"What do you mean by yours que
ried the Colonel in response. "Oh! |
meant that you must answer if you
cor,dn't come Now what did you
.uean?' '.Me ! Why, l meant-that is
the letters meant-'Darned sorry
couldn't come Wasn't that correct?'
The young lady was fairly cornered and
gracefully acknowledged the corn"

A Pat ReiOinder.

At Oxford, some twenty years ago, q
tutor of one of the colleges limped in
his walk. Stopping one day last sum-
mer at railway station, he was accost-
ed by well-known politician, who
recognized him, and asked him if he
was not the chaplain of - College at
such time, naming the year. The
doctor replied that he was.
81 was there" said the interrogation,
and knew Gou by your limp"
"Well," said the doctor, "it seems
my limping made a deeper impression
than my preaching"
"Ah, DOCTOR" was the reply, with
ready wit, ''it is the highest compli-
ment we can pay minister to say that
he is known by his walk rather than by
his conversation.

laughter, which brought Uncle Baxter
out of dream-land into the front-room
to ascertain the cause Of such start
ling sound.
"Was it you who took the doughunts?"
cried Hetty, as soon as she could speak.
"And you thought they were yeast
cakes ?" And a renewed peal of laugh
ter attested the poor childs revulsion
of feeling
"Mrs. Baxter said they were in plain
sight on the kitchen table" f" responded
VIII, in rather an injured tone " and
AS they We're the only cakes there, / nat
urally supposed them to be yeast cakes. "
'No wonder you went home across
lots, cried Hetty, going offinto another
peal of laughter, in which everybody
joined.
"Well, I thought myself it was kind
o queer" said Miss Lowry at last, wip.
ing the tears from her eyes; "but |
s'posed of course you sent 'em for the
society so we ate 'em up"
That night before Hetty slept sh, had
written a brief note to Frank Kennedy.
She had bitter struggle with her pride
before she could make up her mind to
take the first step, but the lesson of the
last few days had not been altogether
lost:
"DEAR FRANK.-I have made horri-
BILE blunder, and / am ashamed of ny
self If you feel that you can forgive
my abominable treatment Of you, come
to see me, and | will explain.
She was sitting under trea in the
orchard idly rolling one or two half-ripe
apples about or the grass. She had
watched and waited all day for Frank +;
and now, as evening was drawing on
and he had not come, she was begin
ming to think he was too deeply offend
ed to seek her again. A shadow passed
between her and the setting sun, and he
stood before her.
"Well?" he demanded, gravely re-
garding her. He loved Hetty Morris
better than his own life, buthe felt that
she had injured him solely through
caprice, and he felt that he could not
lower his dignity even to regain her
precious favor.
81 want to ask your forgiveness,
Frank, said Hetty, speaking very fast
lest her resolution should fail. 81 have
treated you very badly, but it was all a
ridiculous misunderstanding"
"Of course You were forgiven before
you asked" he said, still gravely, and
without offering to sit down. The mar
rator discredits this magnanimous state.
ment, but the young man said it, never
theless. "And now, he resumed; 81
suppose I may ask the promised ex-
planation.
at is too preposterous, y cried Hetty,
breaking into irrepressible laughter.
"Tne truth is, I lost my doughnuts, and
I thought You had taken them just for
a joke"
"But I did take some, you know" he
said, looking puzzled.
81 know you took two,' answered
Hetty, bursting ont again; "but lost
at least bushel.
Frank Kennedy had come to this in
terview with determination to be dig
nifed, and, if necessary, stern but as
the sun sank beneath the horizon be-
lated swallow hurrying home to his
family might have heard him remark,
"Whatever else we have at the we'd
be sure and have batch
of doughnuts.
"You may depend on me for that"
replied Miss Hetty, smartly, 'for shall
rely on that argument to bring Uncle
Baxter round"

COLONEL RERR's DIVORCE BILL,
The Trenton Gazette, in commenting
on Colonel Kerr's divorce bill, says:
ADULTERY is the only Scriptural
ground for divorce, and, if we mistake
not, our Supreme Court has made a de-
cision to that effect, Judge Turney de-
livering the opinion. Married persons
who do not live happily should separ-
ate, but should not be allowed to separ-
ate and marry at will, as has been the
case in some Of our Northern States.
The more difficult to procure divorces
the less frequent the desire. Married
persons will then cultivate mutual for
bearance, and be contented with the
inevitable, making the best Of a
bad bargain. One of the greatest evils
of society is the facility with which di-
vorces are granted, causing persons to
enter rashly into the marital relation.
South Carolina never granted divorces
prior to the war for any cause, and we
believe it was the best governed State
in the world, and enjoyed the highest
standard Of morality-private and pub
lie. The law compels no couple to live
together. Let them separate. Mrs.
Victoria Woodruff furnishes aliving
fOrcible Illustration of the necessity of
such law as Colonel Kerr proposes.
She was divorced from one husband,
married another, lives with both, and
advocates free love.n

TIE CARNIVAL OF 1873.

The impromptu carnival Of 1872 has
borne ripe fruit. At least so we
learn from Rumor, who, with heI
thousand tongues, is busy with what We
are TO have in the way of psgeantry and
show on the twenty-fifth. Our young
men, quick to respond where there is
real pleasure, have availed themselves
of The privileges of what is hereafter &c
DE day Of fun and frolic in Memphis,
and following the example Of Older
cities and older times, devised a thousand
channels through which the delight
Of Mardi Gras may, bubbling over,
find the most pleasant and unobjection-
able forms Of expression. More than
This they viii not tell. We have in
vain sought to penetrate their purposes.
Pledged to secresy, the members of the
various clubs viii tell nothing; on the
contrary they profess the utmost igno-
rance Of any designs. But with these
professions there is always an aceOmpa-
nying twinkle of the eye that speaks
" a lurking devil here" How
ever, We are independent of
even these ill-cOncealed confess
sions. Certain cards of invitation are
just now burdening the United States
mails, of odd shape and sometimes
unusual size, bearing quaint designs that
bespeak taste and culture, and betoken
something better behind-duant c0aTiers
OF the rich aud rare treats that await
the guests. Conspicuous among these,
we have before US that Of the "NIemph, y
designed by the young artist, Carl
Gutherz. whose taste has Sc
lected for suggestive sinsignia pyr-
amids, ,sphynxes,o ,ohelisks, hieroglyphics,
the lotus and all other emblems Of the
ancient Memphis by the Nile whose rival
in history we hope to make the
modern Memphis by the Mississippi.
And inteTmixed with these we have
"AIomus," surrounded by the suggestive
attributes Of his purpose and his reign.
The card is exquisite in its perfection Of
detail, and the coloring as gorgeous as
those which the sons and subjects OF his
laughing majesty usually select for the
carnival; and the envelope embracing
it is also beautiful in its adornment Of
emblems in gold, the shape OF
both being of that pyra-
midal form which has puzzled
so many generations of men. In thus
calling in the aid Of art in a matter
which has heretofore been allowed to
pass with such work as the letter-press
printer might be able to compass, the
members Of the Memph have proven
themselves worthy the occasion which |
calls it forth, and worthy sons of the
modern Memphis, in whose behalf, and
10 sustain whose credit, they make so
laudable an effort. Maintained in this
spirit, Nardi Gras must become an sin I
stituion"-to use a vulgarism-I
and a permanent institution of
Memphis. Would that in other things /
perhaps more essential to our welfare, |
just such a spirit as has produced these
beautiful cards, could be enlisted. |
Who knows but that out of this levity, |
fun and frolic there may be evoked that
spirit and unity Of purpose which should
and must characterize Us before we can
lay claim to success as = community? /
If such should ever come of it, we may
have occasion 10 set Momus on a higher
pedestal aud claim him for a very bene-
factor, indeed.
