DAILY ENQUIRER • SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA SUNDAY MORNING, JULY is, 1S86. I heard this tramp pray, And what did he say Oh, tlodl gracious Ood: let mo die! To his destiny wed, He longed to be dead; Was lie telling the truth or a lie/ No; a horrible ghoul Is haunting Ills soul; Death only can bring him respite; Prom pitiless grief He can tlnd no relief— He's awaiting oblivious night. He came to my door, i'n le, ragged and poor, Xml asked tor a morsel ofbread; He was only a tramp, And may be a scamp, Perhaps 'twero best he was dead. Yet give him the bread; Who knows but that head Once nestled on bosom of snow, Or may be his love Is an angel above— It's a mercy to pity him now. His clothing is old, He trembles with cold, Mayhap he once had a home, A happy, bright life, With baby and wife, Who’d kiss him and smile when he’d come. Perhaps in a freak Of frenzy, this weak, Erring son of humanity fell; By gaming and drink He awoke on the brink Of passion’s insatiable hell. Then lie drank to forget The remorse and regret For the faithful, fond heart he’d broken; Like others he sank, Like others he drank To crush out of life every token Of the once happy life Of the baby anil wife, Of the home and the pure precious woman, Her soft pleading eyes, Her patience and sighs, And his own wrecked conduct inhuman. This wretch had a mother, That makes him your brother, Don't drive the poor creature away. He hasn’t a dime, But is tliut a crime? A crime to be penniless? Nay! The noblest of Ood Once penniless trod Life's thorny, uncheerful path, For love and regard His only reward Was human injustice and wrath. He loved unto death, And with his last breath Told tile thief that soul-tuuchiug story. Which angels above, In a rapture of love, Applauded in anthems of glory. NUMBER SEVEN. Us Frequent Occurrence in the Scriptures—Has It Any Signitleiince.or is II Merely a Coincidence— A ( oiTcspoiidcnt Figures Out .Numerous Coiiihin- idions in Which Seven Plays an Important Part. The frequent occurrence of the number seven in the Scriptures seems to indicate that there are associated with it certain events, that it may be termed the prophet ic, representative sympolic number conse crated in the Holy Scriptures and the reli gion of the Jews and other nations, by many mysterious events and circum stances. The Old Testament informs us that Ood completed the work of creation in seven days, and set apart the seventh day to be a day of rest for all mankind. The slayer of Abel was to be punished seven-fold, and the slayer of Lantech sev enty and seven fold. Of every clean beast Noah took into the ark by sevens, and took with him seven souls when he entered the ark. After seven days the waters were upon the face of the earth. The intervals between Bend ing out the dove the second and third times were seven days, and in the seventh month the ark rested on the mountains of Ararat. In Pharaoh’sitwo dreams he saw seven well-favored and fat kine and seven ill-fa vored and lean kine, and seven ears of corn on one stalk, rank and good, and seven cars blasted with the east wind, which was followed by seven years of great plen ty and seven years of famine. The children of Israel were commanded to eat unleavened bread seven days, and to observe the feast of tinleavened bread; seven days shall there he no leaven found in your houses. The seventh month was signalized by the feasts of trumpets and the celebration ol'lhe feast of tabernacles. Seven weeks was the interval between the passover and the pentecost. The seventh year was observed us the Sabbatical year, and the year succeeding seven times seven years as the year of jubilee. S-ieven days were appointed as the length of the feasts of tabernacles and passover. Seven days for the ceremonies of the consecration of the priests. Seven victims were to be offered on any .special occasion. When Abraham and Abimelech wanted to confirm an oath, they took seven ewe lambs of the flock. Jacob served Laban seven years for each of his daughters. Delilah bound Sampson witli seven green withes, and wove I he seven locks of his hair into the web. Seven priests, bearing seven trumpets, passed round the walls of Jericho seven days, on the seventh day passing round seven times, and it fell. .- Nebi c uidnez a had the f mace heated seven times hotter than it was wont to be heated to burn the three Hebrew children, and u as driven from among men to the beasts of i ne Held until seven times passed over him. Klisha commanded Namnaii to wash in Jordan seven times and he cured of his leprosy. Tliu sluggard is wiser in his own conceit limn seven men who can render a re ison. In the New Testament the Saviour com manded to forgive an erring brother not until seven times, but seventy times seven if lie repented. In It.weUiiions of St. John we.read o' seven churches, seven spirits, seven stars, seven seals, seven lamps, seven golden candlesticks, seven angels, seven vials and .seven last plagues.

A Timid Hrarr. u M,“h°t r n °u l h i e w f°?F* outrages to in w V . he I’ ess Indians of the west arc M bjcctcd is told by Wm. Justin Harsha 1 ,? U ,®S moving and realistic phrase as can “ot fail to enlist the sympathies of every generous heart. Purporting to recount the causes of a recent Indian uprising, it haa ,” aH . is ln that iniquity ot the United Mates law whereby an Indian is debarred nil right of protection to his goods or prop- '•rty save such ns may be accorded by n more or less incompetent and unjust agent ~ny which an Indian may not seek for justice in anv court, and which leaves him no recource but war to redress his mutil- piied and aggravat'd wrongs. N„ matter how earnestly an Indian may strive for civilization, may seek to lend a settled and reputable life—lacking the privilege ac corded the most ignorant negro, he may be robbed almost with impunity, despoiled of hard-won earnings or property by law less ranchmen and cowboys; but there is no law to meet his cose, no protection to lum for life or limb, for home or family. It is a shameful blot upon the fair fame of a mighty nation. The “Timid Brave” is a Christianized Indian who long resists the incitements of his brethren to revenge, and only when at last bereft of wife, of child, of cabin home, and all his little- store of accumu lated Property, does he respond to the tribal call for vengeance, which ends, as of course do all such Efforts, in the discomfit ure and still further oppression of the un- happy and much-enduring red man.
