Come for Thy Rights I

Come, honest manhood, not ashamed TO toll,
Stand in the garb or cause that honors thee |
Come from the mill, the forge, or sterile
soil,
We crown thee king, thou shalt our
sovereign be
Come from the ocean laden--fsh or pearls
Come from the mines with all their precious
ore;
Come not as servant, serving moneyed churls
But in thy right, stand dignifed before.
Thou feedest kings they tax thee in return /;
Thou clothest mobiles, rich in courtly dress +;
Thou biggest coal for them to cheerful burn,
But sayest little, each, thyself TO bless.
Thou art content, pushed by unkindly hands,
stand out, the rightful ruler of the landsf
Come for thy rights, as constant as the sun !
Stand for thy cause in eloquence of deed !
Come with thy riches, when thy toll is done,
As plants give bloom TO multiply their seed /
What though the rich and proud thy wages
take
Still striyest thou in faithfulness of soul,
Till by thy care the zelda a harvest make,
That give welcome TO the living whole
Nor hating here, to moan with selfish sighs
That others take as freely as they choose,
Thou givest all 10 nations in supplies,
And rarely bresk'st thy serving to abuse ;
Thou guard'st thou honorest here with high
repute
Thou pianist the seed--art generous with the
fruit
Earth bears no blighting curse by thee
imposed;
Thou art her husband, toiling, royal wed
She bears no malice, when in death deposed
Thou sleep'st at last within her silent bed !;
But kings and despots, ruling to devast,
Have wet her bosom deep with peasant
gore
She keeps account, 10 settle by at last,
When kings sleep well, but sleep as kings
no more.
How can a desth-dethroned king relent7
He lies a subject, humbled in estate;
The peasant has no carnage sown or rent,
And in the grave he is a king as great;
He reaches forth in pleasure and in hope,
Nor dies debauched, morbid misanthrope.

"Tom," she laughed, "this isn't a

steps fastening along the corridor, "do
keep my secret, Tom. Do, please p she

she would never forgive her cousin;

The Cats of Cairo.

Among the curiosities of Cairo is an
amateur branch of the humane So
ciety, for the especial benefit of poor
Puss. A curious legacy was some
years ago left by a wealthy burgher to
enlarge the permanent income of the
cadi, on condition of his nourishing
andN dNcherishing all the unclaimed cats
in Cairo. Like most tMohammedans, he
must have shared the feeling which
made the Prophet cut off the wide
sleeve of his robe, sooner than disturb
favorite cat which had fallen asleep
thereon. Consequently large court
yard has been devoted to their especial
benefit, and here theS;nice, soft, furry
creatures" lie and bask in the sun, and
are fed at stated intervals, and alto
gether have q very good time o6 it. II
is a curious fact, however, that al
though daily additions are made to this
large feline home, the inmates rarely
amount TO more than fifty. This (in
the absence of sausage machines) is a
very remarkable problem. / suppose
that a candidate for the Office OF cadi
has to produce a medical certificate TO
prove that he is not troubled with that
uncOnquerable aversion TO dear old
Puss with which so many of the mas
culine egenus are afflicted. -GeRtlemQR'S

The Pasture Bars.

II ell the skies, do believe,
Had all the year withholden
Their gala tints to guild that eve,
1t would ma been more golden;
The wee birds would ma sing so fine
If they had been invited;
The COWS came proudly in a line,
As if they we're delighted.
We linger'd by the pasture bars
Till sunset changed to cleaning,
Till twilight clustered into stars,
And through the clouds went roamingS
And when the moon glowed up the sky
1t found us still belating;
Yet none but my own Joe and
Knew why the COWS were waiting.

THE TABLES TURNED.

a large, old-faShloned, quaint gray
stone house, with a green, close-clipped
lawn, extending down to very pictur-
esque portion of the Avon. Seated on
the lawn were three young ladies in
summer toilets with broad straw hats.
Two were at work; while the darkest.
prettiest, though smallest, was reading
aloud.
Suddenly, blended with the musical
dip of oars, the still, calm air was
broken by strong, clear, manly voice
singing:
when the lads of the village,
Merrily ah l-merrily ah ~
ats Tom It's dear old Tom !"
cried the two girls who were dressed
alike. "He's rowed up from Chesser-
mill. Come, George, come" George,
their cousin, appeared by no means
backward, and the three oeagerly
hastened down to the river.
Scarcely had they reached the edge
than a light skiff, in which sat hand
some young English Saxon of about
five-and-twenty, shot from the shadow
of the willows to their very feet.
Here am, girls p he cried, cheerily,
shipping his oars and casting the moor
ing rope round post placed on pur-
pose.
"Yes, here you are, singing as much
out of tune as ever" said George,
roguishly.
Now, lease don't begin your spar
ring" laughed Rosie, the youngest sis
ter. "We are so glad you've come,
Tom, whether in tune or not. We
have something 20 tell you and some
thing for you to do"
"Reallyp Prithee, fair sister, ex-
pound" he rejoined, walking up the
lawn, a sister on either side of him,
though his eyes oftenest sought out
George.
"But first" asked Lenore, the elder,
chow long are you going to stay here?"
"Whitehall has given me a week.
My luggage comes by road"
Capital Now, let us sit down and
we win tell you"
The girls sat in a kind of semi-circle;
while Tom laid his whole length before
them, his elbow on the grass, his cheek
on his hand.
"Now," he asked, "what is the mat
terP"
"Well," said Lenore, who by general
acclaim was nominated spokeswoman,
"you must know, Tom, that there is a
certain room in this old house papa has
just bought which is said to be
haunted"
Nonsense"
"But it is true. Papa would not let
us know when he bought the place,
but we soon heard it from the people
about here. He, however-as yQE =
says it's all nonsense"

"Ah; still he gives us full leave to

BAR MEETING.

Immediately upon the adjournment of the
citizens meeting, the members of the bar
of Knoxville were assembled, pursuant to q
notice to that effect. The meeting was
called to order, and on motion of Judge O.
P. Temple. Hon. M. L. Hall, Judge of the
Criminal Court, was selected as chairman.
Judge Hall, in taking the
chair stated that the cal upon
upon him was very unexpected He had
just listened with satisfaction to the remarks
of the speakers in the citizens meeting, and
thought it eminently proper that the bar of
Knoxville, where he was SO well known,
give expression to their feelings. The emil
nent life and character of the man needed
no eulogy. In truth, he is not dead, he has
only changed his relations and entered
upon higher state of existence
than we occupy; another
and higher degree of life. Mr.. Maynard
lives by his example, and his thinking and
intelligent attributes are more acutely alive
than when be was with us lin the flesh. It
is eminently proper, therefore, ,tas we can
no longer associate with him, that we thus
unite to do honor to his memory. With
these REMARKS he called the meeting to
order for business,

Sensation in the House of Com
mons.

LONDON, May 3.-Mr. Goshen, in
speech this evening in the House
of Commons, created much sensation.
He said that, as Mr.. Gladstone be-
lieves, social revolution exists in
Ireland. It will have to be proved,
however, that peace and order will
be promoted by the release of social
revolutionists.
The resolution adopted by the
Irish parliamentary party yesterday
with reference to the action of the
Canadian Legislature touching Ire
land, recognizes the influence of
that Legislature in the salutary
change in the Irish policy of govern
ment.
The Times says public opinion will
approve Forster's manly and digni-
fed course. In the presence of
trying and painful alternatives, the
new policy of the government rests
upon the hope that the moderate lans
guage of the Land Leaguers, the
concession, to some extent, to de-
mands in the land law amendment
bill and the release of Parnell will
touch the feeling of the Irish masses,
and restore authority Of law and
respect for public and private rights.
A probability of compromise,
with respect to tenants claims,
is hopeful element. If Parnel will
make use of his liberty to
restore order there may
be an immediate improvement n
the condition of Ireland
The Standard says the Radicals
have triumphed all along the line.
A new era is opening up in English
politics 1t asks if the amnesty is

trieve it's fortunes.

CONGRESSIONAL.
SENATE.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May A
number of bills were introduced and
referred.
Senator Voorhees, resolution for
the appointment of committee of
investigation as to the alleged cor
rupt or improper influences concern
ing the House bill now before the
finance committee, amending the law
in regard to distilled spirits in bond
ed warehouses was taken up.
Senator Window moved an
amendment providing for an investi-
cation as to whether any money has
been raised by contributions or 9th
erwise, from parties in interest, to
secure the passage or defeat of the
bill, and if so, for what uses it has
been expended.
Senator Voorhees, accepted the
amendment, and said he had offered
the resolution because of newspaper
aspersions upon himself as member
of the finance committee.
Senators Bayard, Morrill,, Harris,
Beck, Vest, Ingalls, and Ferry asserted
then confidence in the personal and
official integrity of Senator Voorhees,,
and regarded the charges as un-
worthy of further notice. Each OF
the speakers concurred in the view
that the Senate could not
afford to occupy the pub
lie time to the exclusion
Of Legislative business upon anony-
nous paper-accusations-but, upon
a prospect of the subject presented
hy Window, sentiment was unani-
nous in favor of immediate and thor
ough investigation in view of the
statement made by Window that he
had received information, which he
believed, that an enormous sum of
money had been needed by the So
called whisky ring to procure the
passage of the bill through Con
gress. He said he could not vouch
for the Information, but it
was such as to compel him to
propose an inquiry into the matter.
He believed that, if the bill passed,
the country would, within a few
years, be shocked by the develop
ment, operation and success of a
combination SO enormous as to pale
into utter insignifcance the ring Of
two Or three years ago. A large
amount was now due on whisky in
bond, and the bill proposed in sub
stance to destroy the bonds and give
the combination chance to rake the
treasury to the tune of nearly
| $7O,0O0,000 He conceded in the
opinion that the personal insinua-
tions against the Senator from Indi-
ana we're too insignificant to deserve
notice, bnt he wanted to go to the
bottom of the charges to which he
now called attention.
Senator Beck read telegram from
J. NJ Adenten, of Louisville, who he
said had been given as authority for
the accusations against voorhees,,
disclaiming all responsibility there
for, and adding that his statement
and opinions concerning the whisky
legislation had been greatly exagera-
ted and misrepresented.
