An unusual opportunity is given by our re-
ports of to-day for comparing the productions
of several of our most noted orators The OPP
portunity is enhanced by the fact that while
there is some variety in their choice OF Cen
tennial themes, the topics selected are very
nearly akin. Mr. Evarts is, as usual, philo-
sophie and entertaining; Charles Francis Ad-
ANS, thoughtful and erudite; Mr. Beecher
enthusiastic and practical; DIR. storrs, elegant
and scholarly and Brooks Adams, reviewing
the past, is hopeful Of the future.

VIVA 1OfVs

Sun of the stately Day,
Let Asia into the shadow drift,
Let Europe Task in thy ripencd ray,
And over the severing ocean lift
A brow of broader splendOr!
Give light 10 the eager eyes
OF the Land that waits to behold thee rise:
The gladness Of morning lend her.
With the triumph of noon attend her.
And the peace of the vesper skies!
For 10! she cOmeth now
With hope on the lip and pride on the brow.
Stronger, and dearer, and faircr,
To smile on the love we bear her,
To live, as We dreamed her and sought her,
Liberty's latest daughter
In the clefts of the rocks, in the secret places,
We found her traces;
On the hills, in the crash of woods that fall,
We heard her call;
When the lines of battle broke,
We saw her face in the fiery smoke;
Through toll, and anguish, and dcsolston,
We followed, and found her
With the grace of virgin Nation
AS sacred zone around her!
Who shall rejoice
With righteous voice.
Far-heard through the ages, if not slci
For the menace is dumb that dciled her.
The doubt is dead that denied her.
And she stands acknowledged, and strong and
free
All, bark the solemn mdertOno

large, divincIy moulded Fate
Questions the right and purpose OF State,
And in its plan sublime
Our eras are the dust of Time.
The far-otf Yesterday of power
Creegs back with stcalthy feet,
Invades the lordship of the hour
And at our banquet takes the unbidden seat.
From all unchronicled and silent ages
Before the Future first bcgot the Past,
Till History dared, al last,
To write eternal words on granite pages;
From Egypts tawny drift, and Assur's mound,
And where, uplifted white and far,
Earth highest ycarns 20 meet a star,
And Man his manhood by the Ganges found
Imperial heads, of Old mllennial sway,
And still by some pale splendor crowned,

And say, through stony lips and vacant eyes:
"Thou that assertest freedom, power and fame,
Declare to us thy claim"

On the shores of Continent cast,
She wen the inviolate soil
By loss of heirdom of all the Past,
And faith in the royal right of Toll
She, planted homes on the savage sod:
Into the wilderness lone
She walked with fearless feet,
In her hand the divlning-rcd,
Till tho veins of the mountains beat
With fire of metal and force of stone!
She set the speed OF the riyer-head
To turn the mills OF her bread;
She drove her plOwshare deep
Through the prairic's thousand-centuried sleep;
To the South, and West, and North,
She called Pathfinder forth,
Her faithful and sole companion,
Where the flushed Sierra, suowy-starred,
Her way to the sunset barred,
And the homeless rivers in thunder and foam
Channciel the terrible canyon.

Was built, in the smile Of a softer sky
And the glory of beauty still 10 be,
Where the haunted waves OF Asia die

The State Debt.

Col. Jas. E. Bailey, of Clarksville
delivered a speech before a meeting
of the citizens Montgomery coun-
ty, the % ultimo, in which he took
position squarely for the payment
of the State debt, principal and in
terest. He argues that a tax of
mills on the dollar would be sufn
cient to pay interest, aud the cur
rent expenses of the State govern
ment. He also produced figures to
show that of the bonds now remain
ing unpaid, there were only 81, ,534,-
600 that was issued by Brownlow
and Senter, for internal improve
ments, to 1nsolvent Railroad com
panies. The figures exhibited by
Col. Bailey very clearly show that
the proposition to repudiate on the
ground of fraud is only a pretext,
and scarcely worthy Of refutation.
Col. Bailey proceeded to say that
he had shown how the debt
could be paid without oppressive
taxation, and then asks his hearers,
sitting as triers of their own cause,
what is your judgement? Can you,
in view of the grave responsibili-
ties that rest upon you as men, and
as constituent part of the soyer-
eighty OF the State, refuse to do jus
tice merely to save yourselves from
some Inconvenience Can you not
pay these taxes without, as is some
times said. bringing ruin and bank
ruptcy upon your country? The in
terest to be paid to creditors, other
than the school fund is just one
dollar to each inhabitant of the
State, according to the census of
1870. 1t is less than five mills on
the dollars worth of property, ac
cording to your tax-lists. It is only
two and one-half mills to the dollar
upon your wealth, as shown by the
census. Will it oppress your will
it bankrupt you2 If you refuse to
pay what will you do with your as
sets? Will you give them into the
the hands of an assignee? Who will
take your railroads? To whom will
you assign your beautiful capitol?
Who shall enjoy the hermitagef
Col. Baily in an eloquent perora-
tion summed up the evils that repu-
diation would inevitably bring down
upon the people of the State. He
argued substantially, that it would
undo the work that had been done
in behalf of immigration, and turn
the tide OF wealth away from our
borders, that it would drive away
our best young men, depreeiate our
property, and ultimately endangel
the rights Of every species of prop
erty. The speech was able and con.
vincing, but our space forbids fur
ther mention.

high principle, and exalted worth
could have arrested the shafts of
fate, she would still have remained
among us, a brightexample of every
virtue. The hand of death has
removed her to a purer and happier
state of existence, and while we la
ment her loss, let US endeavor to
emulate her virtues" The long
procession then passed away from
her former home to her grave be-
tV cen the church and the asylum.
At the gate of the asylum stood its
little inmates in line, while the pro-
cession passed through the midst
of them. After the body had been
placed in what should have been its
last abode, the orphans came TO
strew the grave with branches of
gseeping willow.
SWhat should have been its last
abodeg' The place she herself
chose between the church and the
orphanage. Here were gathered
the last remains of her husband, her
child, grandchiId, and herself. Of
all her large estate in Washington
she asked only grave: and her re-
quest has been denied. For forty
years her body lay in the place of
her own selection, but without a
friend or relative to guard that sa
cred dust. In these forty years
Washington had grown from a city
of eighteen thousand inhabitants to
one of one hundred and ten thou
sand. Land had greatly increased
in value, and could not be spared
for purposes of sepulture. The
tomb was, therefore, left in such
neglect that it's removal was de-
manded as a sanitary measure. The
bodies were exhumed by strangers,
ard carried TO Georgetown, and the
mausoleum removed with them.
The pecuniary value of that last
resting place has now returned to
strange heirs, who loved the place
of her grave better than her mem
ory or her wishes.

Trust.

Though tangled hard iife's knot may be,
Aud weariiy we rue it,
The silent touch OF Father Time
Some day viii sure undo It.
Then, darling, wait;
Nothing is late
In the light that shines forever.
We faint at heart, friend is gone;
We weep, for grave is filing;
" trembie at sorrows on every side,
At the myriad ways Of killing;
Yet after all.
If sparrow fall,
Our Lord keepeth count forever.
BE keepeth count, We come, we 60,
We speculate, toll and falter;
But the measure to each veal or woe
God only can give OF alter.
Then why not say,
From day to day,
''Thy viii be done forever.s
Why not take life with cheerful trust,
With faith in the strength ofweakness;
Doing the best we can to walk
With courage, yet with meekness;
Lifting the face
To catch Gods grace,
That lights the soul torever2
Forever and ever, my darling, yes,
Goodness and love are undying;
Only the troubles and cares ofearth
Are sure in the end to 60 flying.
Fleeting as bubbles
Are cares and troubles,
And ''now'' is asprite that tricks US ever,
Till it floats and is lost in the vast Forever.

Don't charge your failures to "bad

your trouble is-you are lazy.
Learn Mr.. Cobden's proverbs about
''Luck and Labor"
Luck is waiting for something to
turn up. Labor, with keen eyes and
strong viii, will turn up something.
Luck lies in bed, and wishes the
postman wonld bring him news OF
a legacy. Labor turns out at six
o'clock. and with busy pen or ring
ing hammer, lays the foundation OF
a competence.
Luck whines. Labor whistles.
Luck relies on chances. Labor
on character.
Luck slips down to indigence.
Labor strikes upward to indepen.

A Practical Objection to TeIe-
graph Poles.

ICaliiOrnia Spirit OF the Times.
A merchant going home elevated,
staggered against a telegraph pole
''Beg your pardon" said he Il
hope no offense. It's rather dark
and the street is very narrow, you
see."
In a few moments he came in
contact with another pole.
"Couldn't help it SIR" said he,
lifting his hat. 81 never saw such
crooked lanes as we have here in
this city"
Again he ran foul of a pole,
this time with a force that sent
him backward to the ground.
Look here, neighbor, you need
not push a fellow down because he
happens to touch you; the road is
as much mine as yours, and I have
as much right here as you have, old
stick-in- -the-mud."
Picked himself up and made an
other effo-t to reach his home, but
he soon came plump against an
other pole.
"Shan' make any more apologies, -
said he; "If you get into the middle
of the street and stand in my way,
that's your lookout, not mine"
Proceeding on his journey again
and becoming angry and dizzy, he
seemed to be entangled in an mex
tricable labyrinth of telegraph poles
which led him to made a genera
speech.
"Gentlemen, you are rot doing
the fair thing. You do n OF give :
man fair chance. You run from
one side Of the street to the othel
right IN my way"
Just then he met a friend, anC
taking him by the hand, he said.
There is a procession going
along this street, and every man il
drunk; they have been running
against me all the way from tlt
Club. I knocked one ofthe fellows
down, one Of the fellows knocked
me down, and then a lot of then
got around me, and believe they
would have licked me within an incl
of my life if you had not come t.
the rescue. Let us go out of thi.
street before the procession comes
back for they are all drunk"

An Astonished Indian.

Reese River Cal. Reville.l
Somebody dropped some quick
silver on the sidewalk in Main
street to day, and an Indian tried
to pick it up. First he made a
grab at it with his thumb and fore
finger, and was astonished when he
couldn't pick it up. he was deter
mined to have that quIcksilyer;so be
unwound a handkerchief from his
hat, and spreading it on the ground
got chip and seraped the quick
silver into it. A look of triumph
shot from his eagle eye as he gath
cred up the four corners of the
handkerchief, but it was replaced
by one of horror and disgust when
the metal run through the fabric
like water through a sieve. Look
ing at the metal as it lay on the
ground, he launched a vicious kick
at it and uttered the ejaculation used
by keno player when some other
fellow makes a keno.
