!. Two Views Of Virginia.
BY THE oPTIMIST.

The roses nowhere bloom so white
AS in Virginia;
The sun nowhere shines so bright
AS in Virginia:
The birds sing nowhere quite so sweet,
And nowhere hearts so lightly beat,
For heaven andearth both seem TO meet
Down in Virginia.
The days are never quite so long
AS in Virginia;
Nor quite so filed with happ: song
AS in Virginia;
And when my time has come to die
Just take me back and let me lie
Close where the JaHes gees rolling by:
Down in Virginia.
There is nowhere a land SO fair
AS in Virginia;
So full of song, so free of care,
As in Virginia;
And I believe that Happy Land
The Lords prepared for mortal man
Is built exactly on the plan
Of ole Virginia.
BY THE PEssIMIsT.
The juleps nowhere sprout so green.
AS in Virginia;
The wood hogs nowhere are so lean
AS in Virginia;
The mud creeks nowhere have the smell,
And nowhere else, the truth to tell
Is il so hot this side of hell
AS in Virginia.
The bum hotel is all the style
In CID Virginia:
Where walters wait once in a while
In old Virginia;
AnG trolleys sometime come along,
That's when the currents running
strong,
Or something else has not gone wrong
In old Virginia.
Nowhere such storms obscure the sun
AS in Virginia;
Nowhere so slow the railroads run
AS in Virginia;
And when my slme has come to go
Just take me there, because. you know,
III longer live. I'll die so slow.
Down in Virginia.
Nowhere can toll so we'll suffice
AS in Virginia:
Nowhere ancestors cut such ice
AS in Virginia:
And I believe that that lazy land
Of Heas and nlggers, heat and sand
Is simply fashioned to be ID

A Plea For Factory People.

''You may think we factory people
Are an unimportant lot;
And the reason why God made us
Was He kinder just forgot:
And after He'd created US
He thought He'd let US stay
And scramble round on earth awhile
To pass the time away.
Well, T know we are unimportant
In one sense of the word,
For to the tramps Of earthly fame
Our names are seldom heard;
Eut many of US have heart,
Tno.'s noble, true and kind.
With sunny disposition
And a g. ie, loving mind.
We'll divide with those in need:
If we only have dime;
We know the Lord will give it back
To US some other time
Our treasures are in heaven,
Not here in gold or rank;
We'd rather trust it to the LORD
Than put it in the bank.
And thus it is while at our work
We card, we spin Or weave,
We are happy and contented,
And have but little tine to grleVe.
While the rattle of the spindle,
The slubber or the loom
Puts sorrow, care or pain to flight
Or dispels cloud Of gloom.
We all forget our troubles
And our trials here below,
AS we listen to our shuttles,
While they rattle to and fro;
Yes, we watch the busy shuttle,
AS back and forth it speeds,
And with pleasure watch the cutrnarks
A-coming through the reeds.
Oh. if was millionaire
Or financially so stout
I could down the whole town wide
And the country round about,
I couldn't then be satisfied
Unless I had to 60
And set my looms a-runnlng
When I heard the whistle blow.
Say you don't like factory people?
Well, that's sinful, I declare;
If by chance you get to heaven,
There'll be factory people there;
When there you meet with US you.
Please don't elevate your nose;
Well not have black oil On our hands
Nor cotton on our clothes"
