POETRY.
The Farmer Feedeth All.
BY CHARLES @. LELAND.

My lord rides through his palace gate,
My lady sweeps along in state,
The sage thinks long on many thing,
And the maiden muses. on marrying;
The minstrel harpeth merrily;
The sailor plows the foaming sea,
The huntsman kills the good red deer.
And the soldier wars withouten fear:
But fall to each whate'er befall.
The farmer he must feed them all.
Smith hammereth cheerily the sword,
Priest preacheth pure the holy word,
Dame Alice worketh broidery well,
Clerk Richard tales Of love can tell,
The tap-wife sells her foaming beer,
Dan Fisher fisheth In the mere,
And courtiers ruffle, strut and shine,
While pages bring the Gascon wine;
But fall to each whate'er befall,
The farmer he must feed them all.
Man builds his castles fair and high, g.
Wherever river runneth by,
Great cities rise in every land,
Great churches show the builders hand,
Great arches, monuments and towers,
Fair palaces and pleasing bowers;
Great work is done, bet here or there,
And well man worketh everywhere;
But work or rest, whate'er befail,
The farmer be must feed them all,

should lay down financial planks for them.
But the soft-money element among the Re.

tions to help make party capital, although
contrary TO their own sentiments, have
become exceedingly FESTIVE, and have given
notice that they were getting tired Of voting
for buncombe resolutions which they did
not believe 10.
In deference to this significant intimation
the hard-money Republicans abstained yes.

House IL would have received some Repub.

have lodged. Each day shows that the inHa-
ton party still rears its hydra head. Mr..
Kelley processes to represent one million
Republican voters who want more currency,
and in this assumption he is perhaps not
over-enthusiastic. The signs Of the times
indicate that on this question Of the currency
the Republicans can have no advantage over
the Democrats in the presidential campaign,
bat will be equally split up and divided. AS
has been stated, 1t is to be expected, as a
matter Of course, that President Grant will
veto any act repeating the specie.resumption
act: but within the last dag or two some are
beginning to say that this "depenas." At
all events, if Congress should adjourn with.

confidently anticipate that demand for re-
peal will be inserted in the national plat
forms of both parties.

Three Notable Men.

washington Correspondence of Boston Journal
While Lamar was making his speech my at
tcntion wss directed to notable group
gathered near him. Everybody on the floor
and in the galleries, eveu to the unwashed,
white and colored, ia the upper tier, who
daily there copgregate to be soothed to sweet
slumbcr under the soporEc influence of con.
gressonal eloquence, was listening to the
glowing, impassioned words of the orator OF
the new South as in stirring phrase he
apostrophized the Union. But. Of the listeners
All, none wore an air OF such peculiar interest
as did the trio pointed out to me. One OF them
stood against u desk and occasionally leaned
over to exchange hurried comment with the
others on the speech. He was man Of great
muscular frame, with heavy, swart features
half.concealed by his thick, black beard. On
mis- right was seated little, shriveled-up old
gentleman, with THO, gray hair, weakened
face. and nerveless air, who seemed lost, as
it were, in the inner-deptbs Of his own
clothes. At his side was the third-corpulent,
sleek, wel-fed, and wearing all over the air Of
corpulent, sleek, welI.fed millions. His mas
siye head, firmly set on his herculean breadth
OF shoulders, was covered with thick
growth Of long, snow W bite hair, giving him
somewhat of pstriarchal aspect. Features
large, coarse, and strong; sharp eyes; an
aaueline nose; heavy under;jaws and firmly
| set lips. and a rudy complexion that told Of
high living, detracted, however, 20 little
from his patriarchsl aspect. The first was

ter. General. The dried-up specimen was
what there is left of Henry S. Foote, jeff.

SAN FRANCISCO, February 22.-The at
tendance at the Bay race-track to witness
the four-miIe and repeat race for a $4,000
purse was very large. 1t is estimated q, 600
persons were present. The track was in
tine condition, weather fair, light wind.
Rutherford was the favorite in the pools.
The following horses started: Rutherford
Foster, Hook Hooking, Chance, Katie Pease,
Revenue, and Golden Gate. Both heats
were won by Foster; Rutherford second
and the rest distanced. Time, 1881, 1853.
At the finish of the fourth mile in the frs
heat Hook Hooking was apparently fail
third, the rest being distanced, and to thf
surprise OF the whole assembly Hook Hook

in his case excited universal dissatisfaction

TIE REVIVAL IN NEW YoRK.-New York
February 22.-Ths MONDAY service at the
Hippodrome to-day was one of the largest
since the advent of Messrs. Moody and San

and the hymns were rendered with greater
effect. The usual number of requests for
prayer were read, including one from the
condemned murderer Rubenstein that the
Lord Jesus would be revealed to his crushed
and sinful soul. DR.. S. e. Tying, ST., prayed
for the whole country, referring IN appro-
pirate terms to the Father of his Country,
whose birthday was being celebrated. MIR.
Moody then discoursed on disobedience.
He said that the cause of all the troubles and

George FowIkes, an old bachelor, who died
IN this county two years ago, leaving his
property, valued at. $40, 900. to bis former
slaves, and excluding his heirs The heirs
claimed that undue influence was used by
the negroes ia the form of negro doctors and
copjurers to make him believe that unless he
made his will leaving them his property be

engaged ia the case.
