To A. and L.
Only a Drive a trifle slight—
Just eager minds, a few moments blent,
Two souls lit with kindly light,
One thrill across two pulses sent.
Strangers, so few bright, short days past 1
Strangers to-morrow, as before ?
Ah no 1 wher’er their fates he cast,
Their love will hold forevermore.
How short a Drive, of two can change the mind,
Can arouse them, from their gloom.
Change their lives to be inclined,
And bid their souls, blush and bloom.
Perhaps they have touched their brow, with a fervid
sign,
With honor proud as crowned King's;
Two souls in one, pleased to find,
Are now sacred in all things.
They know what others but guess.
And keep the joy, they snatched on tYo Drive of
that 'lay;
But memory guards their one caress.
For them—them only—them for aye.
When son!? have united in words that meet
They part not sullen, sad and cold;
Still clings an influence subtly and sweet,
One Drive that fusses dross to gold.
Count not that short Drive loss or lavish waste,
The little words you carelessly spent;
Gleams yonr thoughts, your only taote.
Must joys delay ’till matrimony is sent.
Safe in your hearts, the jewel of your Drht lives.
Relic and tpye—your suns ol happiness.
Near together or afar, they’l keep their prize,
Their first Drive— perchance their, lasting bliss.
SANTIAGO.
Written for the Gazette ]
ARE WE CANNIBALS ?
Dean Stanley has written these re
markable words: “The whole subject
of the brute creatiori'is'To me, one of
such painful mystery that I dare not
approach it.” Butler in his “Analo
gy,” declares that it is not necessarily
implied in the assertion of the natu
ral immortality of brutes, “that they
must arrive at great attainments, and
become rational and moral agents;
even this would be no difficulty, since
we know not what latent powers and
opacities they may be endowed with.
There was once, prior to experience,
as great presumption against human
creatures as there is against the brute
creatures, arriving at that degree of
understanding which we have in ma
ture age; for we can trace up our own
existence to the same original as
theirs. And we find it to be a gener
al law of nature, that creatures en
dued with capacities of virtue and re
ligion, should be placed in a condition
of being in which they are altogether
without the use of them for a consid
erable length of their duration, as in
infancy and childhood; and great
part of the human species go out of
the present world before they come
to the exercise of these capacities in
any degree at all.”
We have read of the deification of
certain animals, and the sacred em
balming of others by the ancient
Egyptians; of the religious protection
of some brutes by the East Indians
of the present age; of the doctrine of
Metempsychosis, taught from time
immemorial, and yet believed by some.
Without further reference we may
conclude that wise men of all genera
tions have regarded the immortality
of the brute creation as a mystery, —
probable, but indefinable. On reflec
tion it would seem as if Darwin bor
rowed h’S idea of a development of
the human species from Butler, tho’
the latter, if alive, would doubtless
write anew analogy disproving the
Darwinian theory. The good prelate
intended no such inference. So much
for the serious part of our communi
cation.
There is also a sub-serious part.
If it be probable that brutes are im
mortal, that we also change success
ively, after the several deaths, into
different animals, as the believers in
the transmigration of the soul insist,
should we not be cautious how we in
dulge in our propensities for animil
food ? Some writers have asserted
that we have existed in a former
world, and how many before that
they know not, even as the Brahmins
teach that immortality is a succession
of existences in the different stars.
We may have been brutes in the prior
world, beeu fattened, killed and eaten
as to the body, while our brute-souls
were flying off to this earth to be
born in the flesh as human. Hence,
after this life, on another planet, we
may be fisli or birds, and the fish
hook or fowling-piece may be the in
strument* of our oapiure, death and
consumption, while our fish or bird
spirits speed to another sphere to un
dergo a like use and change, and so on
without end. In proof of this theory
it has been asserted that we often
have an indefinite recollection of per
sons and things and animals for
which we have no possible proof that
we have at any time seen them since
our birth Circumstances forbid any
such conclusion. But, the impression
is so strong that the only explana(ioi)
is that we have met with tlie same in
a former state of existence. It may
have been in this world. It is not
uncommou for a child of the present
generation to be a living likeness to
the portrait of an ancestor dead lor
centuries past. May not the child be
the ancestor re-produced ? Brutes of
ten have “sneaking countenances.”
The fables iu the ‘‘Arabian Nights,”
that human beings were changed into
brutes by magical art, may have had
some foundation in truth. He who
studies Lavator will find much corres
pondence between the brute and hu
man countenance. The development
of the affections is more evident in the
horse and dog than in many 'men.
Why do we eat food ? Is it
because: ,
1. It is an acquired taste from for
mer states of existence, when, as car
nivorous animals, we devoured others ?
or
2, Because we as animals in the
last world were eaten by the animals
of this world, who were then human;
and we do it, instinctively, for re
venge ? or
3. Because we expect to be animals
on the next earth, and eat the present
animals, so that we shall be even with
them when they in turn as humans
devour us?
But here we should consider that
we may be eating some relation or
friend; our grandfather’s grandmoth
er, the Witch of Endor, or the “Ghost
of Bauquo. To think that in sipping
our soup we are p>artaking of the very
essence of Socrates or Cleopatra; that
our mutton-chops are the remains of
Demosthenes or Cicero; that our
steaks are from the muscular thighs of
Goliath of Gath or the sons of Auak !
We shudder when we read of the
horrors of cannibalism. Few clergy
care to be served up as boiled, fried,
roasted, stewed or on the half-shell,
by some savage chief whom he would
convert. Yet the savage teaches us
our true nature. We prefer the hu
man to the brute condition. Why is
not a human broil to be preferred to
that of an inferior animal. “It is a
matter of taste,” says the savage, “in
my refinement I prefer man, in your
mere sensuosness, you seek the most
inferior of brutes. You will eat bulls,
goats, hogs and the like, but never as
pire to the lion, elephant or hippopot
amus.
These certainly are the objects of
our food. Do we eat them because
they were our euemies in the past,
who, as the aristocracy of that period
oppressed us the mere saus-culwttes.
Or as our former ancestors, do we in
stinctively, eat them in order to des
troy our plebian pedigree ?
But in what ever light we review
the subject, the question returns,
“Are we Canuibals?” In preparing
animal food are butchers guilty of
murder; iu eating it are we accessory ?
Not only cannibals but also murder
ers ! Horrible dicta ! Let us reform
at once and become vegetarians.
Though “corn has ears and the pota
to, eyes,” it does not follow that they
are immortal. The nectar of Olympus
was the juice of the melon; the b'ess
ings of Ceres were light-bread and
hominy, and old mother Gea supplied
the wine-grape and general dessert.
Animal food causes fever. Fever
is the decay of the eaten departed
within us. It is their revenge in onr
sickness. It is their death song of
victory as it proclaims that we are
mortals, hastening to a similar fate.

That Detroit Judge Again.
‘Margaret Graham why is this thus?*
asked his Honor, as an aged woman
stood at the bar.
‘I couldn’t help it, sir,” she sadly
said, folding her hands and dropping
her eyes.
‘I see gray haibs, Wrinkles of age,
and signs that you are slowly drifting
to the grave,’ he continued; ‘and yet
von get drunk and hurrah for Gen
eral Jackson, and rouse the neighbors
from their beds.’
‘Please, sir, it was a small drunk,”
she explained.
‘And yet yon have been here before,
and I have let mercy overpower jus
tice. I am ashamed, Margaret, to
think that in this nineteenth century
of civilization a woman forty-four
years old shouldf be brought here
charged witlKdrunkeuness.
‘l’ll do better, sir.’
‘lJkipeso Margaret; I hope you
wjii'dash the cup from you, and take
a solemn vow never to drink anything
stronger than river water after
this?’
T will sir.’
‘And though the bloom of youth
may not return to your faded cheek,
you will feel young again in spirit,
and life will seem to you like a grand
picnic at Belle Isle, with frosted cake
piled up ten feet high. One further
remark, and I am done— I shall send
you up for ninety days.’
She desired to appeal to a higher
court, but. Bijab led her away, and
told her that her friends could get her
out on a writ of “kaverous corpus”
any time they wanted to.
A sweet voice singing, broke the si
lence of the court. It was a female
voice, and in low sad tones it saiig a
plaintive melody:
‘ ’Tis the voice of the broken heart
ed Jane Mooney,’ said Bijah, and he
went in and led her out.
‘Miss Mooney is it true that you
were overcome by the spiritual influ
ences of fermented liquors acting up
on your nervous system ?’ inquired his
Honor.
It wasn’t, she said. It was true
that she had just got up from the sup
per table and was going around the
corner to see about anew dress, when
an officer captured her aud made the
base charge.
The officer had his say to the effect
that Miss Mooney was as drunk as a
Boston Alderman at a clam bake, but
he acknowledged that it was her first
offense, and that perhaps she could
have reached home if left alone.
‘I shall suspend sentence this time,’
said his Honor, ‘but don’t think for a
moment, Miss Mooney, that you have
bluffed tliis court. The doubt is iu
your favor, and thus I let you go; re
peat the offense, and the equinoxial
gales of autumn won’t have a chance
to min any bonnets for you.’
‘They won’t eh,’ she sneered, eleva
ting her eyebrows and breathing hard;
but Bijah whispered to her that it was
dangerous to trifle with justice and
that she had better rush madly to
ward the pure air of liberty.
As the door Opened there was a
sound of shuffling feet on the flag
stones, and a voice sang:—
“Oh ! sister, what did mother say.
When she went down to Pnt-in-Bayf
She told me always to be "(rood.
And never, never ran away.”
“Was that you, James William ?”
asked his Honor, as the prisoner came
ouf.
“It was—do your worst, oh ! cruel
executioner!” cried James.
“Aud you were drunk?”
“Drunk I was; and now drive the
poisoned dagger deep into this aching
breast!” *
“And you haven’t fully recovered
yet!”
James stood back, and waving his
long right arm to and fro, he said:
“They come around me here and say,
My days of life are o’er;
That I shall mour.t my noble steed
And lead my band no more.
They come, and—”
“I want to know whether yon are
guilty or not guilty,” broke iu the
Judge.
“If I had me brave retainers here I
should sav “no;” I am thy victim, and
I answer that I were drunk. Drunk !
Aye ! the fumes of that accursed wine
still floats through me weary brain,
and I see strange sights before my
eyes! ’
“You don’t see anything that looks
like the House of Correction do you ?”
asked the Court.
“I see a bastile crowded with inno
cent victims, who cry out to me for
re-ven-ge I” answered James.
“Well, in about an hour you’ll hear
someone crying out ‘mush I’ to you,
for I’m going to give you a month in
that bastile.”
“The fates do mock me now, but I
shall trample on them yet; and listeD,
ye know the call, Bijah; I shall yet,
spit upon the sod which covers thee I”
“Don’t threaten me, or I’ll have yon
arrested for arson !” said Bijah, as he
'ed the prisoner away; and he return
ed with a very red face and said he’d
give fifty dollars to catch anyone spit
ting on his grave.
