The Memphis Appeal for 1882

In issuing its prospectus for 1882;
the APPEAL has but one promise to
make, and that is, d determination to
maintain it's character and rank in the
forefront Of American ncwspapers.-
The Appeal is now regarded as one Of
the Institutions of the South. Its his
tory for the past forty-one years is the
history Of the development Of South
ern thought, Southern politics, South
ern industry and Southern literature,
and its sympathies and aims will be
the same in the future. The paper will
continue to be the constant reflex Of
the most reliable intelligence obtaina-
BILE from all parts of tho world. 1t will
remain infexibly Democratic, but its
space will be mainly devoted to news,
the interest Of agriculture, trade, COM
merce, manufactures, internal improve
ments, the development Of Southern
resources and all branches of industry,
While always on the alert for the latest
intelligence, it will avoid the sensation
al, and will never pander to vitiated
tastes. The APPEAL is specially de
voted to the interests Of Tennessee and
Memphis, its great commercial empo-
rum, and will use its best abilities to
promote both. 1t realizes that the flu
ture empire of this country lies in the
South and West, and will labor to COM
bine the political and business rela-
tons Of these two sections in inducing
the Legislation Of Congress Tor improv-
ing the navigation of the Mississippi
river and its tributaries.

The general outlook for the

the Southern and Southwestern
sections is improving, owing to the
continuance OF very windy weather
in the Northern and Western sec-

There's an Ormolu clock on the mantel; above

On the fender four feet-my young wife's feet
TRINITY shod, in row, and-at home.
My slippers are broldered Of velvet and silk
The work of her fingers before
We stood at the altar. To have them made up
Cost me just round five dollars more
Than new pair had cost at my boot-maker's
But each stitch was token Of love,
And she never shall know. All, how easy they
are
On their perch the steel fender above.
Words. fail me to tell of her own. There's a

Mid thousand strange things of century

They are small, trim, and natty; their color is
And they each have the funniest heel.

These decolletee slippers reveal.
All, many a time in my grandfather's day
They led the old fellow dance.
They we're bought with Virginia tobacco, and
Who would guess it?-from France.
How odd that yon stern-faced ancestor of mine,
In the earlier days of his life,
Should have loved her who tripped in these red
slippers then
The young grandmamma Of my wife!
The course of some true loves, at least, runs
not smooth;
And I'm glad that tits SO when SEQ

Which belong to my lady-and mel
Two short months ago in this snug little room

No companion was near save my pipe. Now,
behold
On the polished steel fender four feet.
Let them pirate of the happiness Paradise
yields
To the Mosem-the raptures that thrill
The soul of the Hindu whom Juggernaut
takes
The bliss of Camden; and still
I'll believe that no gladness which man has
conceived
Can compare with the tranquilized state
That springs from two small feet alongside
ones own,
On the fender in front of the CRATE.
In vain the illusion. The trim feet are gone;-
They pass by my door every day
Yet they stop not nor tarry, but swiftly pass
Nor can persuade them to stay.
And bachelors dreams are but dreams at the

Be they never so fond or SO sweet
The anthracite blaze has burned low; and be-
