ONLY ONE DAY.
BY NJ. c. P. AssosEr.
" Mans works from sun to sun;
But woman's work is never done.

"Man's works from sun to sun;
But woman's work is never DONE"
-Old Prouerb.
There was man who lived in the woods,
And this you may plainly see;
For he said he could do more work In a day
Than his wife could do in three.
$50 be It." the good wife said,
But this you must allow
That you viii work at home to-day,
And Pll go follow the plow.
You must milk the pretty. brown cow,
For fear she might 60 dry;
Aud you must feed the little fat pig,
That lives in yonder sty.
" You must watch the speckled hen,
And you must Wind the ibobbin of thread
That spun yesterday"
Then the woman took the STAG in hand,
And went 70 follow the plow:
Her husband took the shining pail,
And went to milk the COW.
Tiny she hinched, and. Tiny she fiinched,
And Tiny she stuck up her nose,
Then gave the old man such kjch in the face
That the blood ran down to his toesl
"soh, Tfnyl Ho, Tinyl
My pretty brown COW stand still.
If ever try to milk you again,
Twill be against my willl'
He went to feed the little fat pig
That lived In yonder sty,"
And struck bis head upon beam,
Which caused his brain to fy.
BE could not watch the speckled hen,
And 50 she lay astray;
He forgot to wind the bobbin Of thread
His wife spun yesterday.
The dinner to get, the table to set,
The beds to make up smooth,
The house to sweep, the bread to knead,
Too much for him, in truth"
Dried apples to string, patch to set on,
These she said nothing about.
Enough for week, !" in despair thought John
And he was no lazy lout.
&c The windows to wash, the stove to make bright,
The beans to put baking for Sunday;
Aud all to be done before IT comes night
Too much fer only one dayp.
So Jonathan saw, by the light of the moon,
And the green leaves on the tree,
That his wife could do more work In day
Than he could do In threel

POETS AND FLOWERS.

Of living English poets Mr.. Tennyson
alone (and he, too, is never quoted in the
book before us) shows any real love for
flowers. And this love is scarcely shown
so much in the well known song in
+" Maud as by little touches here and
there-the "long green box of. mig
nonette" which the miller's daughter
has set on her easement edge-the "wild
marshmarygold which "shines like
fire in swamps" for the happy May
Queen-or the water lilies which blossom
round the island of Shalott.
And who can forget the stanza in I" In
Memoriam ?"
" Bring orchis. bring the foxgloye spire,
The little speedwells darling blue,
Deep tulips dashed with fiery dew,
Laburnums, dropping wells of fire."
Of American poets, Mr.. Longfellow
has rather strangely, written nothing
very memorable about flowers; but there
are some pretty verses of Mr.. Bryant,
and an occasional good line of Mr.. Emer-
son, as where he speaks of the gentian as
"blue-eyed pet of blue-eyed lover" or
tells us that
Every aster in my hand
Goes home loaded with thought"
As we once again look round upon the
/" bardsn . that have sung, it is clear that
their fayorite blossoms have been the
rose and the daisy-the one recalling all
the delights of the summer garden, the
other all the freshness of the open field !;
one loved for its beauty, the other cher
ished for its constancy.
:" The rose has but summer reign,
The daisy never dies"
says Montgomery, in one of the best
known of his poems. Cowslips, violets,
dahodils and pansies-" the beautiful
puritan pansies," as Edgar Poe calls
them-are probably the next favorites.
Painters have done more for lilies than
the poets have; and carnations and the
later flowers of the year have never
made much place for themselves in the
poetry of England. The English garden
of to-day still awaits its laureate, and ex-
cept where, in Mr.. Allingham's ether
ania,"
Vase and plot burn scarlet, gold, and AZURE"
we scarcely know of description OF
modern bedding out" and we sim
cerely hope that the present fashion may
disappear before the thankless task is
undertaken.

ENGLAND's DECLINE AND FALL.
New York Graphic.l

Nothing that is purely human can
exist forever; everything mundane is
subject to the universal law of growth,
perfection in its order, decay and death.
1t is the same with empires as with in
sects-the only difference is one of time.
1t is then possible that those observers
and thinkers who are now saying that
England has reached the summit of her
growth and progress, has passed it and
entered upon her downward path, may
be corrected. Lord Macaulay's New
Zealander may already be born; but, on
the whole, we think that it is more likely
to be his son or his grandson who will
sit upon the broken arch of Westminster
Bridge, etc., etc. However, the Cas-
sandras are not speaking without book
as concerns England. She is, to begin
with, growing poorer. Within the last
few years her people have lost the i'm
mense sum of $2,000,0 600 in foreign in
vestments; lost as completely as if they
had thrown it into the sea. Then, her
great iron trade is leaving her, and will
not return; no more American railways
will be laid with English iron; here and
in Europe the English manufacturer is
left almost wholly out in the cold. The
decay of the iron trade means prostra-
on to the coal trade; and the owners
fcoal mines in England are not making
penny. The manufacture of cotton
goods, a vital industry in England, can
no longer be carried on with gain; we
can undersell Manchester in Manchester
itself; it rests only with ourselves to
drive British goods out of the South
American, Indian and Chinese markets.
The silk looms of Spital6elds are idle;
France and the United States supply
the world with silk goods. Sugar re-
fning, paper making, machine making,
lead and copper mining, corn and cattle
raising-all these things have ceased to
be profitable in England, and have
either passed away, or are rapidly pass.
ing to other countries. Money England
still has-but money in itself is neither
food, nor work, nor actual wealth. "The
unnatural old step-mother," as Mr.. JEFF
ferson Brick unkindly termed her, has a
hard time before her. But probably
she will last out our day.

A LARGE increase in the immigration
from Germany is prophesied for this
year. Three hundred and twelve landed
in New York City last week. The re-
strictions imposed by the German Gov
ernment against emigration seem to
be without avail.

COLONEL DEcTER 81. TOILET, of Bos-
ton not knowing that his revolver was
loaded, gave it to his little eight.year-
old boy to play with and the little fel-
low playfully shot his father behind the
ear with it. 1t didn't kill the Colonel,
but that is notsurprising. We wouldn't
suppose you could kill man who would
give a child pistol to play with, by
shooting him in the head.

The Danger.


DR.. MofTett himself comedies that vigor-
Gus enforcement OF his liquor-taX law would
Weld 100000 more revenue yearly. The
Auditor says that amount would be ample.
Why, then, all this buncombe about grind
ing taxation and the Shylock creditor? The
appeal OF the forcblc rcadiuSter is the ap-
pea Of the demagoguc. They adopt the
tactics OF comnEnistic agitatorS by endea-
yoring to excite the worst passions for the
purpose OF framing the ladder by which
they can climb into office and emolument.
IL the perniciouS effect stopped here il
would not he so bad; but it is this kind OF
work that is diseracing the State in the eyes
OF the world, destroying her credit, dis
couragin" immigration, and d.sorSanlzlnS
the Conservative party, which alone has
saved old Virginia from the blighting rapa-
city OF RadicaiSm since the recOnSti uction
policy set in.
The Republicans arc doing all in their
power to bring about internal strife. Their
newspapers can see no earthly use for a
Conservative organization in Virginia, the
fond wish OF their hearts being for break
in the Conservative phalanN, against which
they have baltIed in vain for the past ff-
teen years. They would open tue way for
Grant two years hence. To those people
who would make such 4 thing possibility
we say beware! You are treading on dam
gerous ground, and the reaping OF the seeds
OF discord now being sown may bring ruin
to the State and everlasting dishonor to
those who would subvert the true interest
OF Democratic Virginia to temporary per-
sona gain and Radcaism.

4 HARD MONEY DEMOC RAT.-Hon.
George V. n. Lothrop, one OF the most IN
f1uential Of the Democrats or Michigan, aa-
dressed letter to the recent meeting OF !ne
Honest-Money League in Detroit, IN when
he said: 81 believe that coin Is the consul
tutional money of the country, ana tnat no
paper-monev is safe or tolerable which Is
not convertible on demand into coin. NO
one will contend that paper-money has any
intrinsic value, and the value it acquires by
a Government stamp must be limited by
some real or supposed pledge that Gov
eminent makes respecting it. But it can
only have liked standard Of value,
plain and certain, in the hands OF
every holder, when it is converti-
BILE into coin on demand. 1t is very
seductive delusion that men can multiply
their wealth by multiplication of fictitious
dollars. The idea seems to be that some
how imitation can be made permanent, and
its temporary stimulus made normal con-
dition. The delusion is older than John
Law, and may possibly survive longer than
the instructive history Of that early Green
hacker. But the result Of imitation Is GER
tain, and never very remote. The history
OF business and finance is marked all along
with the mischieis arising from the use OF
irredeemable paper money. 1t concerns US
all to know that the law OF values Is as fixed
as the law of grayitation. We cannot over
throw it. Ii we tamper with 1t we must

the Edii0rs of the Disrufcb

10 the Editors Of the Dispatch:
The article BY General Bradley T. john
son in the July No. of the american La,o
RerieU has q much wider scope than what
you suggest. The proposition which he
endeavors to maintain is that it is the right
and duty Of each State in the Union to sue
any other State in the Supreme Court Of the
United States to compel the latter State to
pay money which it owes to citizens Of the
former and unequitably omits or refuses to
pay. But he does not contend that the suit
should be in g admiralty"
The Constitution provides that the SUI
preme Court shall have jurisdiction Of all
controversies between two or more States.''
General Johnson's propositions are
That it is an acknowledged principle OF
international law that sovereign power
has the right to and will afford protection
to its subjects in all their rights OF person
and property, and that this right and duty OF
protection extends to giving the sovereign
the right, and making it bis duty to see to II
that another sovereign or the citizens OF an
other sovereign pay to its citizens debts
wroprfulIy withheld from them, even
though it requires the former to make war
upon the latter.
That each State in the Union, after throw
ing of its allegiance to the British Crown,
became an independent sovereignty, invest
ed with all the rights and having imposed
upon it all the duties OF any and every other
and that but for the Constitu-
ton OF the United States, by which each
State surrendered the war-making power,
it would be the right and duty OF each State
to compel any other State to do Justice by
its citizens, even at the expense OF war
with il.
That the States in surrendering the right
to mike war for Just cause upon their neigh
bors did not do so without securing what
they thought would bean equivalent; and
that that equivalent was the agreement
which each State made with every other
that each would submit every :. contro-
yersy y 1t might have with any other, never
mind what the cause OF quarrel might be, to
the Supreme Court OF The United States,
and each agreed that it would abide by the
Judgment that that court might deliver.
