The sons Of Rest.

Statesmen may state. and poets sing
Tic pleasures Of the man of toll;

Tile actual monarch OF the sotli

Whose life is swcetencd by his skill;
But | prefer the sons OF Rest,
WHO never work, and never VIII.
our order Is rs old as Time.
And every year but spreads its fame;
Our members dwell in every cline,
And everywhere our crced,s the same,
For us kind natures bounties hlest
Fill every valley, plain, ana hllii
And therefore we, the sons OF Rest,
Have never worked and never will.
We hold that property Is wrong,
Save when ii happens TO be oursi
And that tous alone belong
Tile rightful withdrawing powers.
We seorn the trcadmiil lives VIC sec,
Wherever tolls hattalious drtlIs
They spin and hcw, and drudge; but we
Have never workC1 and never Will.
We've labor leaders in orr crew,
Who'd rather die than work a days
And politicians, not a few,
And orators, with much to saNi
Philosophers, who talk with zcst
OF fne-spun theories until
They charm the listening Sons OF Rest,
Whenever worked n never will.
Men may make laws, and gather gold,
And build, and legisiate, and buy;
BuE soon they're underneath the mold
And none viii halt to heaye a sign,
Viii we. by Mammou uncaressed,
Count gold and greed as dross and i'll;
We glory in our creed of Rest;
We never worked n never will.

Case Must Stand.
In the Court in General Term today Chief
Justice Bingham delivered the opinion Of the
court in the case Of Clara R Bell Brown
against Austin p. Brown, affirming the decree
below dismissing the bill. The complainant
sought by bill to have q decree Of divorce
granted her from defendant over twelve years
ago set aside for the reason that the grounds
(she had recently ascertained) were cruel treat
ment, whereas she had intended to charge
adultery. After the separation the complainant
went to Baltimore, where she remarked. hav-
ing one child, and the defendant also remar-
ried and children have been born Of this mar
rage. An answer was filed by Mr.. Brown, but
withdrawn, and a motion to dismiss was flied
and after hearing granted, and from this an ap-
peal was taken. The court says that moro than
twelve years have elapsed since the decree was
made, children have been born to both par
ties, and while the record Of the court as to
cause and the statement complainant made
when she married a second time do not agree,
to grant her prayer would bastardize the chill
dren and scandaliZe both parties, and from
motives of public policy alone the prayer
should not be granted. 1t appears also that
no action was taken by the complainant until
she had some difficulty with her second hus-
band and she evidently feels the loss Of the ali
mony.
