LABOR'S WAR SONG.

Up, brethren, up! the world is not
So bad as some would make it;
Although we till a stubborn lot,
The plough of toll can break it;
And wheat-a sea of amber froth-
With apple bloom and blushing cherries,
Will soon replace the thistle growth
And bitter bramble berries;
For lifes field, a golden field,
Where skill and length of lever
Can make the barren wilderness
An Eden bower forever!
Wherever reason bids you go,
Be firm, resolved to follow!
Meier build house on Ages snow
Tradition is but hollow.
With eyes that never shun the light,
Although it shows your past mischances,
Ride down the phantom brood at night
With troops OF gallant fancies
For ite's a fight, stubborn fight,
Where hope and fresh endeavor
Can overcome the host care,
For over and for ever!
IF anguish hens you in upon
Some bleak and lonely mountain,
Ne'er sigh for the forsaken lawn,
And willow shaded fountain;
But on the lofty mountain top,
Learn OF the eagle self reliance!
Let the whirlwinds as they drop,
Bear down your bold defiance!
For ife's fight, gallant Fl .ht,
Where heart and strong endeavor
Shall win the palm and wear the palm
For ever and for ever!
Resigned in Wants despised retreat,
With friends and funds but scanty,
Fling over half the bread you eat,
That men may think you've plenty;
Twas thus that Goth was driven from Rome
And it's maxim broadly Roman
Though bitter tears may fall at home,
Laugh loud before your foeman!
For lite's a siege, long drawn siege,
fierce, prOtracted trial,
Where faith forever gives the palm
TO hope and self denial.
Should those you friended in distress
Forget yOu-'tis the fashion,
Meier let them know their worthlessness
Had power to move your passion!
Be cool, and smile-the war of life
Again may place you far above them;
And. should you chance to meet in strife.
Then prove how much you LOVE them!
For life's fight. varying fight;
Defeat and victory blended
Though Wrong may triumph for while,
Right wins ere all is ended!
Should she who shared your summer lot,
Now shun your cold caresses,
Oh blame her not !-oh, hurt her not!
But loose her golden tresses;
She never loved, no power on earth
Can change wnman's true affection;
Nor is the haggard falcon worth
A moments sad detection
Forget her frailty in the fight,
Where brain and blood endeavor,
Still win at will changeless crown
For ever and for ever!
Avoid the fruitess strife of creed,
You cannot turn or guideit;
Let Heaven award the victor's need,
And Priest with Priest decide it!
Relieve that life is fieetinp breath,
Be just to men and love your neighbor,
And take this ritual for your faith
. "Truth, Temperance and Labor"
And thus the error clouds that veil
The heaven oflife will sever,
And Gods approving eye look down
On faith and firm endeavor.

How JOE Won THE PENCIL.-Joe B.
is unquestionably the handsomest married
man in Cincinnati. Joe sports wife besides
several other creature comforts. Well, he and
his wife, Harry and George and their
wives all board at the same house. A day or
two ago, while they were at the table luxuria-
ting on the detached portion of boiled tur-
key with oysters, the conversation began on
Christian names, when Mrs. Harry contended
that she could name more distinguished indi-
viduals who bore the name CT Harry than
any gentleman could of his own name, and
concluded by Offering gold pencil as wa
ger against suitable equivalent if she should
win.
The trial commenced. Mrs. Harry started
off with Harry of the West" adding q
dozen others.
George --now gathered upon Washing
ton, the four Georges Of England, Lord
George, of France &c.
"Now, Mr.. John what have you to say ?"
asked the charming Mrs. Harry.
"Oh l can give you hundred. The two
Adams, Lord John Russell, John Tyler
John-John-bring me some water John -
'Stop, Stop! you can't win. Mr.. Joseph
your turn comes now," continued the little
woman.
Now, if ever bashful man lived it is friend
Joe. He dared not look up. He had been
racking his brain for an answer, but. to no
purpose-and in despair he made one grand
effort at raising his head, replied:
my dear madam, have lost. I cannot
think of any very distinguished men who
ever bore the name of Joseph, except the gen.
tleman we read about in the sacred scrip
tures-he who was such favorite of Mrs.
Potiphar-but I will not offer him, for I
think he ,oas the e-est fool I ever did hear
Of"
Heres the pencil" said Mrs. Harry, tos
sing it over to him, as she and the other la
dies scuded out of the room.

GROWING OLD.-It is the solemn thought

There is a second youth for man, helter aud
holier than his first, if he will look on, and

THE EARLIER THE EAs1ER.-An old man
one day took child on his knee, and talked
to him about Jesus, and told him to seek the
Saviour now, and pray to him and love him.
The child knew that the old man was not
himselfa Christian, and felt surprised Then
he looked up into the old mans face, and
said:
"But why don't you seek God p
The old man was affected by the question
and replied, "Ah ! my dear child, l neglect.

ANEcDoTE OF WAsHINGToN.-It has of:
ten been remarked of Washington that no
one was ever in his presence without being
strongly impressed with reverence for his dig.
nifty. But it seems by the following anecdote,
which is repeated by the correspondent of a
New York paper, that at least there was one
exception "When the President was procur-
ing the grounds for the city which was to be
the seat of government he had but little
difficulty in obtaining the necessary releases,
except in one instance Mr.. James Byrnes
was the owner of a lot or tract of land which
it was advisable should be included in the
plan. The General had various conferences
with Mr.. B., who was specially obstinate, and
resisted all the reasoning and persuasion of
the great man. Indignant at being thus
opposed, Washington turned open him with
great severity, "Mr. James Byrnes. what
would your land have been worth if l had
not placed this city on the Potomac p
Byrnes was undsmayed, and very coolly
turned to him and said, George Washington,
What would you have been worth if you had
not married the widow Curtis?'
