ON THE HILL.

We wandered on a barren hill
one dreary night, my Heart and /;
The ghOstly moonlight streamed about,
While chilling winds went sweeping by.
The hill was oleak and bare and brown;
The year had lost its youthful glow,
And tOttered on with fatering steps
10 meet the white-haired hosts OF snow.
We stood alone, my Heart and i,
And we were restless, i'll at ease,
strOve 10 keep my heart with me;
He sad, Il wander where please
SO. on the hillside bleak and bare,
Ny heart paced always to and fro;
Till, over the summit's wind-swept peak
Another came with footsteps slow.
His form was bent, his locks were white;
He held an hour glass in his hand,
Which ever and anon he turned
70 watch the ebbing of the sand.
From his old shoulder, bent with age,
Swung back and forth sickle BRIGHT
Whose blade was keen and sharp and thin,
And fiiCkered with shimmerlng light.
! saw my heart climb up the hill;
Before the old man take his stand;
The sickle whistle thrO the air!
The old man turned his glass OF sand.
"Stay but one moment, sire!" I cried,
Where is nv Heart whom thou hast SLAIN =?
He turned his trembling head and spoke:
"Some time thOult find thy Heart again"
Thou aged man." once more | cried,
my Heart has gone; l, too, must co.!
lie held his glass before my face;
The sands kept up their ceaseless flow.
''Thy sands are not yet rum" he said;
an come this way an other time,
And bear thee to thy waiting Heart
In some mysterious distant cline"
He turned his steps and took his way
Adown the hill and through the glen,
And though followed all the night,
could not spy his form again.
So, on the hillside bleak and bare,
] stand throughout the livelong night
And watch with eager eyes to see
The strange old Master climb in sight.

over ny window the ivy climbs,
Its roots are in homely lars;
BIT ali the day it looks out at the sun,
And al night looks out at the stars.
The dust of the room may dim its green;
But call the breezy air;
come in. come in. good friend Of mine,
And make my window fair.
So the ivy thrives from morn TO morn,
liz leaves all turned to the light;
And il glandens my soul with its tender green
Ard II teaches me day and night.
What though my lot il in lowly place
And my spirit behind the bars?
Nj the day long may look at the sun
And at night look out at the stars.
What though the dust OF earth wonld dim {?
There's glorious onter air
That will sweep through my soul if let it i'll,
And make ii fresh and fair.
Dear God. let me grow from day to day,
Clingiug, and sunny and bright,
Though planted in shade, Thy window is near.
And my leaves may turn to the light.

A Man who Never Kisses.
IA Waif by Eli Perkins.

There is man at Luray, Va, who became
convinced when young that kissing was wicR-
ed, because Christ was betrayed with q KISS.
He resolved never to kiss anybody. He has
been married twenty years, and is the father
of eleven children, but has never kissed his
wife nor one of his offspring.

OVER MY WINDOW.

BY MARY NAPK> DODGE.
The weekly Floridian. [volume] (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1867-19??, 1880-08-20

The Republicans had an unusually large meet
ing in this city on Tuesday last, made up of men,
women and children. There were perhaps two
thousand colored people present. off and on, of
whom some four or five hundred, of all sexes,
were excursionists from Jacksonville. The speak
ers were Colonel Bisbee, DR.. Conover, Rev. Mr.
Barnes, Mr.. Owen and w. Fl. Lucas Jack
sonVille thus furnished the mental fodder for the
occasion. Lucas bore off the palm-at least
more is said about his speech" than that made
by any other He was frank, abusive and inflam-
matory, and of course was applauded TO the
echo. He told the negroes that he had advised
them early in the day to keep away from the
Democratic meeting, and he did advise them
not to hear Democratic speakers, who were COM
pared TO rattlesnakes and denounced as liars
He said that Republicans were accused with the
design Of niggerizing the State" and Il sOGs
true they would niggerize the State, and do
anything TO defeat the Democrats" He went
back to the days of slavery and hourished the
oVerseers Whip-and, in short, labored with
tremendous zeal to infuse the crowd with hatred
of everything in shape of white skin, particu-
larry il it enVeloped Democrat Colonel Bis
bee and DIR. Conover seemed TO enjoy the abusive
TRADE Of their co-laborer and the Rev. Mr..
Barnes looked on as meek as Moses, perhaps
meditating text for his next Sabbath's sermon.
The meeting doubtless accomplished the pur-
pose for which il was held. As demonstration
Il was a success but II was no more in that line
than we OF the "black belt" have been accus-
toned TO witness in every election for years. 1t
behOOves Conover to get up such shows, but
they do not advance the prospects of his cleo
ion peg. So far from 1t they are positive
injury, for candidate who can rally to his sup
port only mass Of ignorance Is not one TO find
much sympathy with the intelligent who see in
the election of such a man the certain res.
toration OF the rule of imbecility, plumber and
extravaganza.

The ladies of the Monumental Association de-
serve great credit for the perseverance with
which they have pursued the main object in
view, and their efforts and success are about to
De made manifest by the actual arrival and cree
ton Of the long-hoped-for monument, which
was shipped on the 9th inst, and may be ex-
peeled very soon.'
The following letter which has been handed
ms by Miss N. c. Brown, will explain ITSELF 1t
WAS q noble thing for the managers of the Sa-
Vannah, Florida and Western Railway to do,
and their generosity will warm the hearts of the
hundreds who are interested in the erection of
the monument, towards them and towards their
road Ii is not too much to hope that the mana
gers Of the Jacksonville Pensacola and Mobile
Railroad will follow the good example set them,
and donate the amount of freight on the Monu-
ment from Live Oak to its destination. Mr..
Taylor, who wrote the graceful letter to Miss
Brown is q native Tallahasseean, who served in
the Confederate army and has hosts of warm
friends here:
SAVANNAH, FLA. AND WESTERN RAILWAY,

MY DEAR Miss MAG: Yours of 18th inst duly
received Upon submitting the matter to our
General Manager he directs me to say that we
VIII receive the monument to the Confederate
dead, advance the charges due to the vessel, and
transport if over our line free Of charge
We beg your Association to accept this as our
companys contribution to the sacred trust the
ladies' Of your Association have so nobly fulfilled
and to receive the assurance that the interests of
your section and your people are very dear to

TheDemOcraeac Meeting On Tuesday
Wss slimly attended. II was the day appointed
Gar Colonel Davidson and other speakers. but
tor some reason the turn out was mortifyingly
small The attendance, however, IL no indiCA-
ton that the people are indifferent for this is not
20 as win be abundantly evident as the campaign
uruxresss The canvass has opened nearly Q
month in advance Of any previous election year
beginning at . time when farmers dislike to spare
= day from their crops, and this operated against
ss large meeting as was desirable The speakers
were Colonel Gibbes of Quincy, Colonel David
son, Captain Pasco and Senator Call, the lat
ter, however, occupying but q few minutes time,
but what he said was peculiarly impressive.
The speeches were appropriate to the occasion
and were effective in impressing the crowd with
the importance Of activity and the danger Of
over confidence.
There were not many colOred people present,
although The city was full Of them; but the rea-
son for their absence was ascertained to be, that
the white Radicals who were here from a dis
lance had made strenuous efforts to keep them
away, and they succeeded. These pretended
friends Of The negroes do not want them to hear
both sides but their tricks will react upon their
own heads There are many of that race who
think for themselves and will vote as they please
dispie all intimidation, while such efforts as
were made on Tuesday to make the color line
bold and distinct will tend still further to spen
heir eyes TO the fact that 10 follow the advice of
the white demagogues is simply to increase the
osjlored mans enemies.

Manchester papers publish elaborate notices Oh tne
acting declaring that the Manchester verdict1s IN
dependent of London, the dramatic standard OF inc
former being equally high, and intelligently euio-
gizng Adrienne and FFoa Nou. Tho damages
awarded at the suit of the Comedie are unexpectedly
small, though amounting with the forfeiture OF the
accrued pension to nearly $4,000. BernnarotS
counsel admitted that his clients act was not tech
nically defensible. The opinion here Is that the
suit is discreditable to the Comede. Bernhardt mas
not decided whether she will appeal. II she does
not she will ask to have the payment spread over
a term of years.
TWO DISASTROUS EXPERIMENTS.
The Palais Royal Company is playing at the

fashionable, but thin. The audience on the nrst
night included the Duke and Duchess OF Con-
naught, Lady Lonsdale, Alfred Rothschid. Lord and
Lady Lonesborough, Mrs. Langtry, Mrs. Beaumont
and other smart people. The only remaining men,
bers of the original company are Geofrey. EHeri-
tier and Hyacinthe. The rest are inferior. La
Canotten failed to interest the audience Before the
end of the fourth act the house was three-fourtns
empty. On subsequent evenings there was slight
improvements The experiment is probably
failure.
The Dutch company, though much applauded by
the critics, has suspended its performances. The
public were perseveringly absent
