A Monument TO the Ambition of

The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1882-07-27


Her fearless steps through bOus- hold ways,
Her sun-burnt hands and buXom arms,
Her waist unbound by torturing stays;
Blithe as bee, with busy care,
She's here, she's there, she's everywhere;
Long ere the clock has struck for noon
Home chords of toll are all in tune;
And from each richly bounteous hour
She drains its use, MS bees flower.
Apart from passions pain and strife,
Peace gently girds the farmers wifei
Homeward Chis daily labors done)
The stalwart farmer slowly plods,
From battling between shade and sun,
With sullen glebe and stubborn sods,
Her welcome on his spirit bowed
Ii sunshine flashing ON cloud
All vanished is the brief eclipsel
Hark to the sound of welded lips,
And words of tender warmth that start
From out the husbands grateful heart!
OF well he knows how vain his lfe
Unsweetened by the Former Wifel
But 10 the height of pure delight
Comes with the evenings stainless joys,
Wheh by the hearthstone spaces bright
Bend the glad tones Of girls and boys;
Their voices rise in gleeiul swells,
Their laughter rings like elfn bells,
TIL with look 'twixt smile aud frowu
The mother lays her infant down,
Aud ut her firm, upliited hand,
There's silence mid the jovial band;
Her signal stills their harmless strife
Love crowns with law the Farm sr's Wife,
We danes in proud, pala'ial halls
OF lavish wiles and jeweied dress,
On whom, perchance, no infant calls
(For barren oft your lovel ness)
Turn hitherward those 'anguid eyes
And for moments space be wise;
Your sister mid the country dew
Is three times nearer heaven than you,
And where the PAINS of Eden stir,
Dream not that We shall stand by her,
Tho in your false, bewildering life,
Your folly scorned the Farmers Wife.

THE FARMERS WIFE.
BY PAUL HAMILTON HAYNE.
Home and Farm. |

Bird. like, she's up at day-dawn's blush,
In summer heats or winter SHOWS
Her veins with healthful blood ailush,
Her breath of ba m, her cheek rose,
In eyes, the kindliest eyes on earth
Are spark,es of homely mirth;
Demure, arch humor is ambushed in
The clear curves of her dimpled chin.
Ali the guiless creature, hale and good,
Ali fount OF wholesome womanhood,
Far from the worlds unhallowed strife!
Gods blessing on the farmers wife!

Daily Review of the Market.
DAILY STATESMAN OFFICE, I
AUSTIN, July Is, 1882. I


Very few changes will be found in to-
days market reports.
As anticipated, the produce market has
declined and western apples, potatoes,
onions, etc., are quoted lower.
Western corn and corn meal have fallen
in anticipation of the new crop. Texas
corn is not coming into market as yet be-
yond the sale Of occasional wagon loads
to the retail feed stores.
Oats in eastern, southern, and northern
markets are slightly lower, but as the
local supply isexhausted and consequent
ly no shipments taking place the local
price is unaffected.
There are no changes to report in hard
ware. The market Is rather frmer, but
not quotably higher.
The same may be said Of bacon and
hams.
Dry goods, groceries and drugs remain
unchanged.
LAND Observation-Disclosures and

ssThe Young Man of the South.o
In one of his recent letters 10 the De-
troit Free Press, Mr.. John NJ. Lewis,
better known as the western humorist,
an. Quad" who has achieved great
reputation as the author of "Bijah," has
this to say in a paragraph under the
above caption
Zone who has visited the principal
cities and towns of Alabama, Georgia,
South and North Carolina, must have a
fair idea of what the young men are
doing. According to some northern
papers, they spend their time in drinking,
card playing, horse racing and loaing.
Let me say that in Atlanta, Augusta,
Macon, Charleston, Savannah, Mont
gomery, etc., the number of young men
in stores, shops and law offices, is fully
equal to the number in any northern city
you can name, taking population into
account. In a four weeks trip in
the south l did not see one single
young man drunk. did not see a game
of cards or a horse race. l did not hear
dispute. found them everywhere-I
talked with hundreds-and in every case
| found them studying law or medicine
keeping books-behind counters-out
in the field with their coats off. They
not only work, but they are ambitious.
The young men of the south are not only
doing fully as we'll as the young men of
the north, but in many cases they are
doing far better. found scores of them
making money hand over hand by their
own unaided efforts, and scores more
with bright prospects ahead. He who
asserts that they shirk labor wrong them.
He who asserts that they drink or gamble
more than the same number of young
men in the north, is reckless of facts.
There may be black sheep among them,
but, taken as whole, they are genteel,
courteous, hard working and anxious to
secure places of high standing"

Now and then we have a valuable
suggestion from the East. in the line
of refreshing frankness. Orientals

of this was. that at the last minute
he found that what he had written

he left it out, thinking that it was
better to say nothing than to say
what ought not to be SAID. What
gain there would be to the world if

PERIL0US WORK.

There were three or four Of US
Michiganders at the same hotel in
Montgomery, says a newspaper
writer, and all were amazed at the
sight of so many colored men loafing
their time away on the street. The
man from Iona County finally
thought he'd make a few inquiries,
and beckoning to stalwart black,
who had spent the last two hours on
the curhstone, he asked
"Havc you any work to do?"
"Not jist now, sah."
"Have you ever tried farming"
"Oh ves.''
"And how did you come out?"
"Mighty slim, sab. De white folks
down heah doan' encourage de black
folks tall"
"How's that?"
"Wall, in de fust place, dar's de
rent of de land. Dey might jist as
we'll frow off de rent, but dey won't
do it. Den if I git de land an sot
out to borry mule, nobody will lend
me one.''
Suppose you had a mule?''
"Den whar could l borry a plough? ?
