Three Pagan Poems.
BY PROFESSOR DAVID SWING.

Those who forty years ago taught the
young idea how to shoot gave it fair
warning against the heathenish of Than
atopsis.' But in those days it was sought
by the religious leaders, in the school
house and in the church, to construct
kind Of Christian unit out of earth's inf
mite variety. 1t was demanded by the
pulpit how Paul would have appeared at
q dance, and what should one think
should one see the four evangelists at
checkers or chess? Gay parties were as
sailed by the inquiry: How one would
love to 60 from one to the final judg
ment ?.
Without parting with any of its truth
or spiritual power the prevailing form Of
Christianity omits this effort after that
old unity, and grants that there is room
in the world for many things besides the
truths and actions of religion; that one
need not struggle to find a harmony be-
tween a chess-board or a fiddle and the
Confession Of Faith.
So is the world full of thoughts and
feelings and truths which may be expe-
rienced or pondered over without regard
to the dictates of some other ones
thoughts or truths or feelings, or of ones
own feelings and truths at some other
moment Much of Bryant's power lay
in his logical method; a method which
compelled him to be in his poetry such
reasoner as Euclid was in his geometry.
Bryant could perceive a large idea, and
then could make all his lines point to-
ward it as the many roads point to the
city. Casting his eye over earth, what a
place of death it had been The count
less millions were no longer here. The
hosts which followed Moses the happy
youth who had moved along light-hearted
in Babylon; the princesses who had
strolled in the hanging gardens; the
Greek multitudes, made up Of warriors
and orators and poets, Of minds which
spoke in tones of music and which built
Of marble; the Roman family, recalled to
US by the names of Caesar, Cicero, Virgil,
and Tacitus the Italian multitude, mar
shaled under the flag of the beautiful ;
the English race led out before our i'm
agination by armed knights and crowned
queens and by inspired poets-all these
had passed by, filing into the iron gate.
This was truth great enough and solemn
enough for one poem. 1t is a pagan
truth, indeed, and Christian truth too /;
just as spring and summer and love and
friendship are pagan and Christian reali-
ties. The doctrine of the Christian res
direction would have been as much out
of place in the "Thanatopsis" as a treaty
of peace would have been out of place
painted in one corner Of the Battle
Scene" of Meissonnier When Turner
painted Carthage in its Glory" he found
subject-matter enough, and he postponed
for second canvas Carthage in its Ru
in" So Bryant found theme enough il
the shadow which has fallen upon man

A Demoralized Editor.

An editor was sitting in his easy chair,
buoyant in mind and heart, with the
calm serenity and blissful tranquility
that none but editors know. A shuff1ing
sound at the door brought him back to
earth, and facing nervously about, he be-
held a man, of deep determined look,
closing the door behind him. With
sckly feeling of foreboding, the editor
motioned toward chair, and gazed upon
the intruder, helpless and breathless, re-
signed to meet the worst.
The hand of the man wandered toward
his breast pocket. The editors cheek
blanched and his lips turned blue. Alasl
alas he had guessed Alright the dread
mission of the stranger. The man pulled
out bundle of letters and papers. The
head of the editor fell forward upon his
breast, and the hands dropped listless
from the arms of his chair.
my errand is not pleasant one" said
the visitor, speaking slowly.
Thank heaven" exclaimed the editor,
plucking up courage. "Out with it-sus-
pense is worse than fate"
81 have an execution on your home"
continued the man, with professional
sadness. "The mortgage has been fore
closed"
"Hoora! hal ha!' roared the editor,
springing up and nearly shaking the
mans arm off. Heaven be praisedl but
what scare you did give mel Blister
my corns, if l didn't think you had a
chunk of spring poetry. Drive on-sell
the old shanty-its rateaten barracks
anyway, and rents are taken off my

With my tears;
And the old house, standing still on the ola

Fathers face;

Sitting there;
While beside them, brothers, sisters true and

And there stirred
On the wall the leaf-hecked sunshine; and It's
Faded slow;
But from all the loving lips L watched around
Not a sound.

Opened doors;

The Bull and the Woman.
BY JANE GREY swIsSHELM.

Being summoned to appear as witness
in the court of common pleas of Aileghe-
ny County, Pennsylvania, in the month
of April of this year of grace one thou
sand eight hundred and seVenty-eight,
and having several days there to wait on
the calling up of the case in which my
testimony was wanted l had an opportu-
nifty of noting some of the pleas that are
common, but not unclean, and was sur
prised to see how many men had gone to
law about the fulfllment OF plain written
contracts. But the case which most did
interest me was one between two men
about an injury inflicted upon the prop
erty of one by that of the other
1t was not the old case of the bull which
gored the OK but it was very like unto
it. This bull had not gored another
mans OK, but he had tossed another
mans wifes; or, as she would have been
called in the days when our present laws
was enacted and up to fifty years ago, his
woman.
There were two questions for the jury
to decide. First, whether the woman or
the bull was a-trespassing on the main
street of Temperanceville a suburb of
Pittsburgh. Second, what damages, if
any, the owner of the woman was enti-
tied to collect from the owner of the bull.
The bull was not brought into court, to
give his version of the affair; but the
woman was placed on the stand, to state
the case, on behalf of her owner, and gave
it much as one might expect from "A
a-let me see "a noun is the name of
any person, place, or thing" This wo-
NJ an answered to a name; but whether
the court recognized her as person, a
place. or thing, or as all three, or only
two of them, l could not exactly make
out.
Taken as witness, one might conclude
she was person; but places and things
are often offered in evidence, so the fact
of her being a witness does not settle the
question But she was witness who was
to give intelligent oral testimony, and,
therefore, must have been regarded as a
person Still, dog might do this, by
barking a recognition of his master, and
so deciding question of ownership.
Well, l give it up. The woman, and
not the bull, was brought into court, and
gave her testimony as one might expect
from one in her anomalous position. No
class of property ever yet learned to weigh
words very accurately, and lying is the
vice of slaves; - SO no one seemed sur
prised when this respectable wife and
mother said, on oath, that she had been
walking that morning, and carrying her
sick child in her arms, for air, when the
defendants bull tossed her and the child
seven feet up into the air, whence she
fell under the trestles of railroad bridge,
insensible; that she fell on the child, in
juring it severely; was insensible for
some time after never saw or heard the
bull, and had learned the facts from the
papers. 1t would have been better for
the owner of the woman if he had kept
his property at home. although she, nc
doubt, told 1.-The truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth" but, since il
was the truth of which she even profess
ed to be personally cognizant, it nigh
better have been untold
The defense admitted the tossing, anl
