good wife stood by her easement brown,
And mused, through her falling tears,
or the endless round Of work-a-day life,
And its dun aud wearying years.
And she sighed, "Ah, me! lifo's songs aud flowers
Are never for such as !;
But thro' vcrlureess meads and mossgrown spring
My pathway ever must lis."
Aud 10! from over the brow Of the hill,
Their sweet faces kissed by the sun,
To that low brown house by the tasseled pine
troop Of children run.
They cling to her neck, they climb on her knee,
They rehearse all the sports of the day;
And th0ir childish troubles they pouV in her car,
Sure that "Mo't5r" will charm them away.
Alb what are the songs and thc blossoms Of lie
But its garlands Of girls and boys?
And no hours are barren, no home is unblest
That numbers these priceless Joys.
Refreshed, sue stopped for her burden again,
And 10! It had grown so light,
II rose like the lark that spurneth the Garth
And singing, scars from our sight.
She stood again by that easement brown,
As the setting sun gilded the caves,
And the farmer, a-weary, came toiling home,
With his fragrant, burdened sheayes;
But in the glow Of her radiant face,
All forgotten were hours Of care;
For he said, "TOil is sweet when those we love
The fruit Of our labors ihare."
That night, when the children gathered round
The cheerful he5 rth, one read

Than wealth with strife, II is said
And the mother smiled, for the long, dua years
seemed string Of glowing pearls;
And that small brown home was the golden clasp
That held fast her boys and girls.

ana anna mara,
With obadiah,
And Zedekiah,
Iu our choir.
And Jane Sophia soprano sings
SO high you'd think her voice had wings
To soar above all earthly things,
when she leads of on Sunday;
While Anna Maria's alto choice
Rings out in such harmonious voice
That sinners in rhe church rejoice
And wish she'd sing till Monday.
Then Obadiah's tenor high
Is unsurpassed beneath the sky;
Just hear him sing "Sweet BY aud by"
And you will sit in wonder;
While Zedekiah's bass profound
Goes down SO low it jars the ground,
And wakes the echoes miles around,
Like distant rolling thunder.
Talk not to us of PATHS fame,
OF Sicolina's tender fame,
Or Cary's contralto-but e name
Or Whitney's pond'rous basso!
They sing no more like Jane Sophia,
And Anna Maria, Obadiah,
And Zedekiah, in our choir,
Than cats sing like Tomasso.

A thing may be ridiculous without being
amusing, and neither of these two felt the
least inclination to smile at each others poe
try. After duly joining in the chorus of
"Gory, Hallelujah!" Lombard endeavored to
cheer his companion by words adapted to the
inspiring air of Rally Round the Flag, Boys.
This was followed by series Of popular airs,
with solos, duets and choruses.
But this sort of thing could not last forever.
Lombard was becoming exhausted in voice
and legs, and as for Miss Dwyer, he was ex-
pecting to see her drop from moment to mo-
ment Indeed to the air of "Way Down up
on the S'wanee River" she now began to sing,
"ob dear can't bear up much longer;
I'm tired to death
My voices gone all to pie-ee-ee-ces,
My throat is very sore"
They must inevitably give out in few min
utes, and then he-and, terribly worse, she
would be at the mercy of these bestial savages,
and this seeming farce would turn into most
revolving tragedy. With this siekening con
yiction coming over him, Lombard cast de-

Suddenly he burst forth TO the tune of 1.-The

The Contrast ofThsn ana Now.
lGaleahnrg Prees.


The readers of the Press will bear US
out IN the assertion that as long as the peo.
pie worshipped in the temple and at the
altars erected by the fathers, they were
honored aud respected as a people who
were progressing in light and knowledge,
power and glory. But under the dark
dispensation of radicalism men lost their
reason and the people are still blindly
drifting to the same anarchy and ruin that
has been the end of all republics that have
preceded u.s. If the existing facts of gov
ernment under which we now live are to
be preferred then the declaration of in
dependence and the constitution of the
United States should be blotted out and
expupged from our arena and history
The paintings, pictures, statues and monu-
ments that adorn our parks, capitals, gar
dens and halls of justice, as mementoes of
the glorious achievements of Otis. Adams,
Franklin, Warren, Jefferson, Lee, Madison,
Henry, Marion, Green, Shelby, Wayne.
Washington and the patriotic soldiers ol
the revolution should be removed from the
public gaze and the pictures and statues
of such representative men of the radi-
cal party as Secretary Sherman, Blaine
Jay Gould, Colfax, Belknap, Grant, Bah.
cock, Chandler, Cameron, Ben. Butler,
Beecher, Kellogg Wells, Carpenter Of
South Carolina, and a multitude of other
public plunderers and carpet baggers should
be substituted in their places as the repre-
sentatives of the government under which
we now live. The people have enjoyed
the prosperity and glory of Democratic
Rovernment-they have suffered the po-
verify, ruin and disgrace of a government
administered in the interest of favored
classes and public plunderers. Let all
voters before their right of choice is taken
away choose whom they will have.
