IN THE PLOWING.

CARVE the furrow, cut it even.
Carve the furrow, broa and clean:
Meath the smiling summer heaven
Turn the herbage fresh and green.
Gee, my beauties. haw. nv pentles.
Patient bend beneath the yoke;
Where the violet's color mantles
! Cut broad and even stroke.
Brown as pools In twilight meadows
Are your eyes, my faithful Bright,
LiSe the moon through purple shadows
CLEANS your crescent pure and white.
Now your comrade, Buck, in bending
Bows his fair and noble crest,
And the dewiaps, low descending,
sweep the sinewS of his breast.
And his muscles swell in sloping,
AS spring torrents rise and flow,
When they cease their downward cropping
from mountain side of snow.
Deep your fetlocks sink, my beauty,
In the soft and lOamy soil.
Ah, you do your honest duty,
Yours is good and Christian toll.
And your breath is like to clover,
When the dew lies thick at morn,
Whlle turn the furrOw over,
Thinking of the yield of corn.
Or perchance of how she wandered
DoWn the lane that sunny day;
And OF how flushed and pondered,
When she joked in accents gay.
And, old Bright. she stroked your shoulder,
Praised your soft and gentle eyes,
But you scarcely did behold her,
Gazing with bovine surprise.
She is better than the oxen,
Fairer than the sky or ground;
Though she is Il little vixen,
Her young cheek is red and round.
And she seems to fit before me,
MOcking when fain would speak;
And IL falntneSS Stealeth DER me
AndIny heart is woman weak.
How can men of bone and muscle
Lose their manhood near girl?
An it costs mighty tussle
To break the mesheS of a curl.
Yet she might be tanned with loving,
Widest colts are broke to hand;
These the thoughts my soul is proving
As stride across the land.
All the day dream of knecling;
Would she Spurn me from her path,
With a heightened color stealing,
Kill me with Il little laugh?
All. the tongue so keen and tripping,
Could win it for a while,
Iwould venture without slipping
Thus to lure her and bcguile.
am slow. and sadly stammer,
All my ways are country bred;
And that city chaps fine grammar
sure has turned her little head.
How can endure it longer?
In my homespun 1 will go,
And in words sincere, if stronger,
All my heart to her I'll show.
Stand there, Bright, within the furTow
While venture on my luck;
Steady, you must share my sorrow
II tail, my gentle Buck.
Shall we tread the path together,
One in heart, in faith unbroke;
Glad in bright and stormy weather
Still to pull within one yoke?
Ger my labors of the toughest
have never whined nor cried,
But this Job it is the toughest
That a plowman ever tried.

Harvest Service at the Second Parish
Church.

Church.
Yesterday was observed as Harvest Sun
day. at the Second Parish church.
The display of fruits and flowers appropriate
to the harvest season was exceedingly fine and
won the adm iring scrutiny of large crowd at
the close of the services. We have often had
occasion to compliment the admirable taste of
the ladies of this church, and in a new direc-
ton they have more than maintained their
reputation. Upon the altar, in front of the
pulpit, was large flower stand heaped to
overlooking with most tempting fruit-apples
of beautiful colors and pears large and lus-
cious. Behind, upon a stand, was a large
fruit dish in which golden apples and ripe
pears were most tastefully set off with huge
clusters of white and purple grapes On eth
er side were baskets of autumn's richest flow
ers, interviewer with autumn leaves. The
large gas fixtures on each side of the platform
were also tastefully decorated with autumn
leaves of beautiful colors, while at the foot
and about the pulpit were splendid sheaves of
barley, rye, oats and wheat. From the two
gas fixtures hung two large horns of plenty.
The pulpit platform was thanked on either side
with large vases of flags, thistle blows and
grasses. Two large tripods stood close to the
pulpit, near each side, covered with autumn
leaves and cobeas, having suspended in the
centre magnificent cluster of "grapes of
Eshcol and adorned with baskets of flowers
at the top. Two large baskets occupied the
rear of the pulpit platform, one overlooking
with magnificent ears of ripened corn, and
the other containing miniature forest that
was marvel of beauty. On the wall in the
rear was the scripture motto: 1.-THE karves
truly is penteous." The whole church was
redolent with the aroma of fruit and must
have quickened the appetites of all for the
Harvest FEAST that the pastor placed so elo-
quently before them in his sermon. In the
evening concert appropriate to Harvest
Sunday was given by the Sunday school.

Republicans as secessionists.


To The Editor of the Press:
In the Argus of the 18th inst we notice an
article entitled "Bugbear Arguments" which
we think must come from the pen of Scar
boro Democrat. Hear him:-"The South is
Democratic now as it always was prior to 1860,
when the Republican party was formed on a
sectional anti-Southern platform, for the pur-
pose of abolishing slavery. This movement
initiated secession, &c.
We have heard of a Southern school history,
but can hardly imagine it more erroneous than
the above.
Let us examine this statement He says
"the South is Democratic now Suppose we
give free ballot and a fair count to South
Carolina, Louisiana and Mississippi, in each of
which States the colored people are in the ma
jority, and the South is not Democratic
now" by compulson il may be, but fairly
honestly it is not solidly Democratic.
Further he says 'as it always was prior to
1860" There is history for you; but what
does the writer mean. Has he forgotten that
there was Wing party in the South prior to
1860? Or can it be that he means the South
is Democratic now. with something of the
same hopes and designs to rule the country
oudo IL udu previous W lOOU N6Ab uo gives US
to understand the Republican party was
formed" in 1860. We would not be particu-
lar about the date, but respectfully call atten-
ton to the fact that the Republican party in
1856 carried ia electoral votes, including the
States of New York and Connecticut, which
we expect to see in the Republican column
again in Noyemb r.
But still further he tells us "The Republi-
can party was formed on a sectional, anti
Southern platform" Those misguided mem
Lincoln, Seward, Chase and their coadjutors-
believed freekom to be national and slavery
sectional; but here we are informed that they
were sectional, they were only anti-Southern.
Furthermore we are informed they organized
the Republican party "for the purpose of abol-
ishing slavery;' and to cap the climax this
apocryphal writer to the Scarboro Bible says
This movement initiated secession In
other words, Abraham Lincoln and his coad-
tutors initiated secession. Such cheap twaddle
would hardly be worthy of notice did it not
prove that the hope of Democratic victory,
at the time of writing the article referred TO-,
had given vitality to that spirit that hated
Lincoln and rejoced at rebel victories.

George G. shaw & Co.'S opening.

Saturday Geooge c. Shaw & Co. opened
their new wholesale and retail store, two
doors above their old stand, at 5S5 and 5S7
Congress street. The store is 10 feet long
by 80 feet front, and is crowded in every part
with goods The window at the right is de-
voted to the display of canned preserves. Be-
low is the tea department embracing all the
popular brands, and the long row of shelves
above filled with soaps, preserves and the
thousand and one articles in that line, includ-
ing full stock of the goods put up by the
celebrated firm of Cross & Blackwood of Lon
don, Pickering's spices. California honey and
fruit butter will also be found at this
counter.
The cashiers office is in the Ger ter of the
store, and is handsomely finished in chestnut
and black walnut In front of the office be-
tween it and the door is the coffee depart
ment, where sixteen varieties including the
"Samos" and ''Savanilla" brands will be
found.
The large window at the left of the door
will attract much attention, containing as il
does the watermelon coffee MILL capable of
grinding six pounds of coffee minute. The
mill was manufactured by the Boston Hydraulic
Motor Company expressly for the firm. Be-
yond is the cigar department, new feature in
the business; back of which is full line of
the canned goods of Thubel & Co., and
Huckin's canned soups and the retail butter
department fill the space between this depart
ment and the office. The molasses is taken
from the rear of the building to the second
story, and carried by "a hose to the tanks in
the store below.
In the second story the flour to the extent of
900 barrels is stored. The cellar is under the
entire building and contains the wholesale
butter room, which will contain when full
about five hundred tubs. The firm deal very
extensively in Vermont butter, buying direct
of the farmers. The furnace is placed direct
ly in the center of the cellar, and the arrange
ments for heating the establishment would
seem to be perfect. The store will be warmed
by hot air, the Office by hot water.
The entire establishment is model of its
kind and the proprietors are to be congratula-
ted on their pleasant quarters. The store was
crowded up to a late hour Saturday night.
