GOD OVER

I'VE are privileged to give TO the public, for
the first time, the beautiful poem below. from
the truly gifted pen of our good friend and
townsman Mr.. Jno. R. Morris. We have no
knowledge of anything comparable to it, in our
Judgment, of like tenor, save Gray's alwaysin-
1mitable Elegy.
The author has appreciated the wonderful
revelation of beauty over and on the stream OF
the Neuse-. Those who have been unm1ndfui OF
the beautiful river, so near the SUBURB OF
Goldsboro, would find a marvellous manifesto
ton by following the course of the Neuse for
any few miles in this vicinity. noting the
placid stretches, the graceful bends, the trel-
Used vines, the stately trees and overhang!ng
branches of green, and, now and then, its l1l1ed
lagoonS.
In his poem, the author has not shown pa
tince with pseudo modesty. since he gives a
glimpse of a naked boy, streaking himself with
mud, as is. the wont of youngsters before
plunging in the stream. With pictures OF the
stream, W nth its fowls whirring in the air, its
roses over the banks, the raimentleSs boy. the
shadows and lights feet1ng on the water, the
stream, restful under sunset, and the author
himself, as a small boy, driving the old cow
from the NeuSe, while her bell rang through
the evening, we thus have a motif, resolving
from the palpable aspect of nature, and the
common things, such as COW and cow-bell, that
WOO US on to the authors dreamers in the
''gold-purple dell''t beside the margin OF the
River of Life. '"l-ED. ARGUS.
