THE SOUTHERN WORLD, JUNE 15, 1882.
THE “COW I MB MAN.”
A pair of very chabby leg*,
Kncalned In acarlet born;
A pair of little atubby boots,
With rather doubtful toes;
A little kilt, a little coat,
Cut m a mother can—
And lo! before us strides, In state,
The future “coming man.”
Ills eyes perchance will read the stars,
Andsearch their unknown wuys;
Perchance the human heart and soul
Will open to their gaze;
l’crcliance tlielr keen and Hashing glance
Will be a nation’s light—
Those eyes, that now are wlstfnl bent
On some“blg tellow'sklte.”
That brow where mighty thoughts will dwell
In solemn, secret state,
Where tierce Ambition’s restless strength,
Khali war with future fate;
Where Hcience from now hidden caves
New treasures shall outpour—
TIs knit now, with a troubled doubt.
Are two, or three cents, more ?
Those lips that, in coming yonrs,
Will plead, or pray, or teach;
Whose whls|iered words, on lightning Hash,
From world to world may reach;
That sternly grave, may s|s-ak command
Or, smiling, win control—
Are coaxing now for ginger-bread
With all a baby'ssoulf
Those hands—those little busy hands—
Ho sticky, small and brown;
Those hands, whose only mission seems
To tear all onlcr down—
Who knows what hidden strength may lie
Within their chubby grasp.
Though now 'tie but a taffy-stick
In sturdy hold they clasp ?
Ab, blessings on those little hands.
Whom work Is not undone!
And blessings on those little feet,
Whose race Is yet unrun!
And blessings on the little brain
That has not learned to plan I
What'ertho Future holds In store,
God bless the ' coming man!”

“Too much sugar for a scent,” remarked
the youth as he kissed the girl who had been
eating onions.
All kinds of sleeves are admissible for
ladies’ dresses, but the coat sleeve around the
waist remains the favorite.
The present growing crop of cotton in cer

The iiostmaster at Thomson, Gn., is in

The most attractive inscription for the

Tho ancestors of king Kalakaua of the

“Yes,” said a fresh arrival from Bodie the
other day, “the gal I married up on the lode
last month is a perfect lady—a perfect lady,
sir. I don't supi*ose I’ve heard her swear
mom’n twice this spring.”
"The latest agony," says Jeeines, "is the

Two Highlanders found themselves unable
to get into harbor in their boats, the waves
driving it out to sea so persistently that
Donald, after obstinately battling with the
elements, cried out to Duncan, in u dialect
which we will not attempt fully to represent:
“Godoon on jrour knees, man, and offer a.
bit prayer.” But before Duncan was on his
knees the boat’s keel grated on the beach,
whereupon Donald shouted: “Stop praying.
We've come ashore by our own exertions,
and I’ll no' be beholden to anybody.”
A very graphic and pathetic description of
the inroads soon to be made by civilization
is given by an old man in Tennessee: “But
this hyur country’s all agoin’ to change, it’s
goin’ to be the most everlastin'ly improved,
you see. I shan't never be improved; I’m
too old. But the old ways is cornin' to an
end. They’s men buyin’ up thousands of
acres of this laud. Ther'll be railroads built
directly, hither an' yan, more'n'll do any
body any good. They’ll cut off the woods
for fuel an’ lumber, an’ they’ll be mines and
an’ quarries up hyur, they say. An’ they'll
be mean, dirty little towns laid out all
about Then, instid o’ people drinkin’ a lit
tle healthy whiskey, as we've always done,
they'U be forty times as rauefi miserable
pison stuff sold an' drunk, an’ whoever
drinks it’ll begin to steal an’ lie. 1 reckon
they'll he some mighty line houses built
som'eres along this river, an’ they’ll put big
scientific locks onto their doors an’ thieves
will como up from Ciucinnater an’ Cliat-
noogu' an’ break into ’em. They ain’t never
been a lock to n door in these mountains.
But they's agoin’ to be the allfiredest im
provements about hyur an’ I s’lxise our
people'll l’larn to stenl too; haf to, to keep
up an’ live. An’ they’ll be some o’ them city
women, hyur, I reckon, from them big
places, with their fine feathers, an’ their
dresses u draggin' on the ground, an’ they’ll
lie the devil to juty among our young men.
That's what they call 'civ'lizntion, ain’t it,
stranger? I tell you this country will soon
lie improvin’ like hell, but I shan’t, live to
see much of it, I reckon."
Bill Arp: Poverty is a hard thing unless
a man is use to it, but there are worse things
in the homes of the rich sometimes. I
wouldn’t give a cent for a big pile of money
if I had to take the usual purquisitos with
such as pride and vanity and poor health and
a sickly wife and bud children and a big run
of company ull the time. I reckon the good
Lord bos mlike all tilings about right, and
the poor man can be as happy as the rich one
if he wants to.
