ONLY A TRAMP.


|
"only tramp" the conductor said,
Run over BY the train;
Only bundle Of breeding rags
Lying out in thu rain.
At which the passiag strangers look,
Then shudder aud hurry by,
The mangled form with houid face,
Turned up 10 tho weeping sky.
"0nly a tramp tis better for him,
Perhaps, to be there dead;
But some one DER that silent form,
A sorrowing tear would shed.
Perhaps, among those glory locks,
Have loving fingers strayed;
Or may be. with that shaggy beard.
A baby's hands have played.
"0nly tramp" and yet man
For whom the Savior died;
The form you shudder to look upon
That Savior would kneel beside.
A md taking the cold damp hands In his,
Would cross them over the breast,
With Us tender touch US mother witt
once,
Those clammy hands caressed.
He would compose those stifening limb
With loving brothers care,
And with haEas as soft as sisters,
Smooth tho clotted locks Of hair
From the brow that now with mingle,
rain,
And colder death dew-drips.
And, perhaps, that pallid brow woul,
know,
The touch OF Saviors lips.

Senator Brown, of Georgia, was
a member OF the convention which
nominated Graft for president in
1868, anS supported him eancstly
in the canvass. It is not surprising
that the people Of Georgia should
be indignant that a democratic
Governor shonld mako such an ap-
pointment wlren the democratic
majority in the senate Ia small.
He will only have an opportunity
to serve until the meeting OF the
Georgia Legislature In December,
when bis successor will be chosen.
