SELECTED POETRY.
THE TWO GLASSES.
BY ELLA WHEELER.
There sat two glasses, filled to the brim,
On a rich man’s table, rim to rim;
One was ruddy and red as blood.
And one was clear as the cryslal flood.
Said the glass of wine to his paler brother,
“Let us tell tales of the past to each other.
I can tell of banquet, and revel, and mirth,
Where I was king, for I ruled in might.
And the proudest and grandest souls oil
earl h
Fell under my touch, as though struck with
blight;
From the heads of kings I have torn the
crown,
From the heights of fame I have hurled
men down.
I have blasted many an honored name;
I have taken virtue and given shame;
1 have tempted die youth with a sip, a taste,
Which has made his future a barren waste.
For greater than any King am I,
Or than any army beneath the sky;
I have made the arm of the driver fail,
And sent the train from its iron rail;
I have made good ships go down at sea,
And the shrieks of the lost were sweet to
me;
For they said, “Behold! how great you be !
Fame, strength, wealth, genius before you
fall,
For your might and power arc over all!’
Ho! ho ! pale brother,” laughed the wine,
Can you boast of deeds as great as mine
Said tlie water glass, “I cannot boast
Of a king dethroned, or a murdered host;
But I cau tell of hearts that were sad.
By my crystal drops made light and glad ;
Of thirsts I have quenched, ot brows I have
laved,
Of hands I have cooled, and sou’s I have
saved.
I have leaped through the valley, dashed
down the mountain,
Slept in the sunshine and dripped from the
fountain;
I liave burst my cloud fetters and dropped
from the sky,
And everywhere gladdened the landscape
and eye.
I have eased the hot forehead of fever and
pain,
I nave made the parched meadows grow
fertile with grain;
I can tell of the powerful wheel of the mill
That ground out the Hour and turned at my
will ;
I can tell of manhood, debased by you.
That I have uplifted and crowned anew;
I cheer, I help, I strengthen and aid,
I gladden the heart of man and maid ;
I set the chained wine-captive free,
And all are better for knowing me.”
These are the tales they told each other,
The glass of wine aud its paler brother,
As they sat together, filled to the brim,
On a rich man’s table, rim to rim.
HUMAN NECESSITIES.
GOOD THOUGHT FROM THE
GEORGIA PHILOSOPHER.
HOW LITTLE WE COULD LIVE ON IF WE
WOULD ONLY THY. —UNNECESSARY
EXPENSES—LESS LAW WANTED AND
MORE PATIENCE.
From the Atlanta Constitution.
“Man wants but little here below
Nor wants that little long,
'Tis not with me exactly so
Though ’tis so in the song.”
There is nothing wrong about
wanting if we don’t want too much
| —things out of reach and out of
i reason. Every man ought to be
ambitious, and better his condition,
but he ougbtent to hauker after bis
nabor’s things. Folks ought to
live and let live and then there
would be no strife between labor
and capital. All revolutions come
from oppression. Those who work
hard and live poor can’t help look
ing at their rich uabors, and if the
lich uabors grind them to the wall,
they get desperate and try to burst
!up things. The French revolu
j tion begun in that way and the
| working people joined the lead of
| bad men who dident work at all
| and they followed the shouts of
| “liberty aud equality,” and rushed
madly to their ruin. Three des
perate fellows broke into Roths
childs’ bank, and told him they had
come for a divide. “How much
money do you suppose I have got?”
said Rothschilds. “Fifty millions
|of francs,” said they. “How mauy
1 people in France ?” said the ban
ker. “Sixteen millions,” said they.
, “Well,” said he, “that is three
francs apiece. Here are yours
now; go and tell the rest to come
and get theirs,” and he threw them
nine francs on the counter. If we
i ever have to come to a divide that
is the best way I reckon. And
there is safe middle ground for rich !
and poor to stand upon, and that
is for the rich to be generous and
poor to be content with their lot.
Let the rich bear the burdens of
government, and let the luxuries of
life pay the taxes. The law is that'
way now pretty much, if it could
be fairly executed, but there are a i
good mauy average citizens, who '■
won’t pay any tax if they can help!
it. They know how to dodge it, j
and they do dodge it, and although
the uabors will talk about it, there
is nobody who is willing to make a
fuss. Nobody wants to be a pub
lic informer. I know a man who
sold a lot of land the other day for
eight hundred dollars, and he gave
it in at eighty. He is a rich man,
but he is a dodger, an artful dodg
er. He has dodged death aid tax
es foi a long time, but I’m afraid
be won’t be able to dodge the devil
when his time comes. Governor*
McDaniel alluded to these cases in
his message, and I hope the legis
lature will provide some remedy
that will reach ’era. Some folks
have an idea that it is no sin to
cheat the State, but when a man
elleats the State be is cheating ev
ery man and woruau iu it, for the
less he pays the more they pay.
If we could all cheat, alike it
wouldeut made difference, and
I reckon we will-.,_' - *" v *
to keep even. and
county taxes lll 't be a
burden upon the and
most of it comes froßi Jdodging and
wanting too much that belongs to
us. We go to law \vith our nabors
and it costs more to run the courts
iu a county than to run its schools;
uiorfe litigation thniwducation and
the tax is just as heavy on a man
who never has a case in court as
upon one who is everlastingly lavv
ing somebody. That is a wrong
principle and needs legislation.
Let those who dance pay the fid
dler. If me and my uabor go to
law it’s nobody’s business but ours,
and we ought to pay all the cost of
it, and if we knew we had it to do
may be we would settle it out of
court, or call in sojive. nabors and
have an arbitration Folks ought
to be discouraged from going to
law about little thifigs, for the good
peaceable citizeus have enough to
do to support the criminals who
fill the jails. I don’t know any rem
edy for that part of the business,
except to pass a law that will hurry
ilp the lawyers, and make them
quit cavorting around so much with
their mouths. Daniel AA’ebster
hardly ever spoke more than half
an hour in a case but I suppose
Daniel kueiv what he was going to
say before hand. The lawyers now !
udavs want too much—too much
time.
AVe all want too much. AVe
want all we can get and a little
more. It.is astonishing how little
a man can live on and be comfortu
bl, aud how .uU** There
are no hermits nowadays who live
on bread and wafer from choice, j
I believe there is an association up |
North, who eat neither fish, flesh, j
nor fowl, for they say it is wrong j
to kill anything "that God has made
and they say they lmve better
health and can do more work in a
day than anybody. That may all
be so; but somehow I qau’t make
up my mind to give,ip fried chick
en and beefstake asd turkey and
trout aud oysters.and the like. I
think they were created for man
kind to use in reason, and I don’t
know what we would make shoes
of if we dident kill off the increase
for the cattle would spread out all
over the land and gobble up every- j
thing. Bill Aiip.
STEPHENS’ STOItA A BOLT
WEBSTEB.
The late Governor Stephens used i
to tell the following story : “I shall
never forget my first trip away
from home, nor the impression it
made on me. I was quite a voung
man, and some business fell in my
hands that carried me North. I
had never been as far as Washing*
ton before, and of course I wanted
to see what was there to be seen.
I went into the Senate gallery and
took tny seat. I could easily pick
out the prominent men by the
pictures I bad seen of them. Pretty
soon a question catne up and the
President of the Semite announced
that Mr. Webster Was entitled to
the floor. Of coiuWo I was very’
much gratified tlnU* was to hear
him. He arose surf began speak
ing in au ordinary conversational
way. I think he took his snuff oc
casionally. He never made a gest
ure from the time he opened untii
he closed. I thought it was all
sound doctrine, but I was convinc
ed that I knew a dozen college
boys who could have beaten him
speaking. The next morning I
picked up a paper. There was his
speech, headed, “Mr. Webster’s
Great Speech on the Finances.
Pshaw, I thought, they don’t call
that a great speech, do they ? I
saw another paper. There it was |
again, beaded Mr. Webster’s great j
speech on the finances. I reached j
Philadelphia;everyone was talking!
aV'out Mr. Webster’s grent speech
on the finances. I got to New York.
There everybody was in a ferment,
over Mr. Webster’s great speech !
on the finances. It was the same
way in Boston. So I concluded
that it must indeed be a great
speech. It put me to thinking, and
I made up my mind that it was not
the way a man said anything, but
what lie said made him an orator.”

LATIN A N I) GREEK.
Charles Fraucis Adams, Jr., who
; comes of distinguished stock, made
an address before the Phi Beta
i Kappa Society of Harvard Univer
! sity, in which he spoke in opposi
i tion to the persistent teaching (to
| the exclusion of much else) of Lat
| in and Greek.
“How did Harvard* College pre
pare me,” said the speaker, “and
j my ninetv-two classmates of the
year 1856 for our work in life?
In answering the question it is not
'altogether easy to preserve one’s
i gravity. The college fitted us foy
liSSfc (3T harckhitting,
*tfrjgfJ 1 -*--yyied world, caring noth
! iiypTT'* .'utboritv and little for the
; past, but full of its living thought
and living issues, in dealing with 1
which there was no man who did
not stand in constant and pressing
need of every possible preparation
as respects knowledge und exacti
tude and thoroughness—the poor j
old college prepared us to play our
parts in this world by compelling !
us, directly and indirectly, to de- j
vote the best part of our school
lives acquiring a confessedly super
ficial knowledge of two dead lan- !
guages. Thirty years ago—as lor
three centuries before—tlie gram
matical study of two dead languages
was the basis of all liberal educa
tion. It is still the basis of it. But
in pursuing Greek and Latin we
had ignored our mother tongue.
We were no more competent to pass
a really searching examination in
Euglish literature and English com
position than in the languages and
literature of Greece and Rome. AA’e
were college graduates; and vet
how many of us could follow out a
line of sustained, close thought, ex
pressing ourselves in clear, concise
terms ?” He argued then for a i
broader basis and new inspirations :
for college instruction—not that j
blazonry' of classic tinsel which l
makes our half taught scholars a
national humilitation. Yet for the!
purpose of his argument he did not j
for a moment dispute the superi
ority—he was ready to say the j
hopeless, the unattainable superi
ority—of the classic masterpieces.
They are .sealed lioofcs to hvt£t iwyv.',
as they are to at least nineteen out
of twenty of the graduates of our
colleges, who can neither affirm nor
deny that in them, and in them
aljoue, are to be found the choicest
thoughts of the human mind and
the most perfect forms of human
speech ; hut that has nothing to do
with the question, Does the col
lege of to-day fit man for the living
issues he will meet when he enters
into the world ? The speaker would
answer in the negative, and he as
well as others felt that they had
been incapacitated by the sins aud
omissisns of college training from
properly developing his specialties.
All the time spent in the study of
Greek was time thrown away. “In
these days of repeating rifles my
alma mater sent ine and my clus
mates out into the strife,” said the
speaker, “equipped with shields
and swordS hud javelins. We were!
to grapple with living questions
through the medium of dead bin-1
guages.” Then after Urging that i
his sons be not compelled to follow
in his footsteps he said : “There is
a saying that a living dog is better
than a dead lion, and the Spanish
tongue is what the Greek is not—a
very considerable American fact.”
And he concluded by saying:—
“And yet I am practical and of this
world enough to believe that in a
utilitarian and sicentific age the liv
ing will not forever be sacrificed to
the dead. The worship even of
the classical fetich draweth to a
close, and I shall hold that I was
not myself sacrificed wholly in vain
if what I have said here may con
tribute to so shaping the policy
of Harvard that it will not much
louger use its prodigious influence
toward indirectly closing for its
students, as it closed for me, the
avenues to modern life and living
thought.”
—Senator Jones, of Florida, lias
been having honors heaped upon
him in Ireland. When he reached
Balbriggan, his native place, he
found nearly the entire population
turned out to receive him, and al
though he has few relatives at pres
ent living there, and the principle
object of his trip was to visit the
family graves in Balrothery Church
yard, he found the streets arched
with evergreenes in his honor, the
buildings festooned with ribbhons
and flowers and the populace in
holiday attire. He was received
at the station by a large delegation
and was presented with an address
by the Town Commissioners.
—A farmer who plants cotton on
Bermuda grass lands, breaks or
turns over the sod with a turnplow,
theu harrows thoroughly. His the
ory is rapid cultivation, giving no
j time for the roots to take new hold.
Surface-cultivation sufficiently rap

THE REIGN OF COTTON.
A FEW THINGS FOR FARMERS TO STUDY
OVER.
From the Xm Orleans Times-Democrat.
High up, on the top rail of his
battered “worm” fence sits the
Southern cotton grower. PI is boots
are ragged, his hat in decay, his
trowsers scarcely keep out the nip
ping March breeze, and his stom
ach is so empty that he is fain to
bend himself well-uigh double in
order to dull its pangs. He is
whittling a chip with his thumb
nail ana rmrsiqg, with somewhat
vagne upon the glori"tis
crop he has just made. All pre
vious records hate been w iped out.
The four and five million crops of
four and five years ago have reced
ed into dishonorable oblivion. Even
the great yield of 1880-81 takes
second place. He has astonished
the worid, himself included, with
the greatest harvest in history—a
harvest which, three years ago,was [
not drained of as possible. Gov-’
ered with confusion are the base l
defamers who said that he could j
not make aDd gather six and three-1
quarter millions of hales of cotton.
Let them bide their heads iu shame !
while he shivers proudly on that
fence top and makes a trial-balau •e. !
as it were ! <
Provisions were very high iu 1882
to be sure. Pork aud bacon took
a rise ; corn, oats and Lav were
; very dear ; worst of all, cotton has
! been selling very low. Freights
i did not fall in proportion. It cost
; as much as ever to bring a hundred
weight of clear sides or green shoul
ders from St. Louis ; it cost as much
las ever to pick, tie up and ship a j
bale of cotton to New Orleans or j
Norfolk. The factorage, dray age,!
j storage, and commission bills do !
j not appear to have shriveled any ; j
[the interest on the borrowed money |
! bolds its own ; but the price of
: cotton has dropped from twelve to
ten cents and, always excepting the
noble thrill of victory our cotton
raisers would perhaps like to know
just where lie comes in. It has I
been a great year for the foreign j
buyers. They have been getting the 1
1 finest of, clean cottons at the very
least of prices. They and the
bears—who speculate and grow
rich upon the bad luck and bad
judgement of the planters—have
accumulated enormous profits. But
our solitary whittler on the top
rail, where, oh ! where is he ?
Once upon a tune a great com
mander was told by his generals
that they had won a splendid vic
tory, and he, after footing up the
results very carefully replied : “One
more such victor}’ and we are lost.”
Is it not very much the case with
the cotton grower? He has made:
a vast, aud amazing crop. He has!
strained the credulity upset the'
calculations of mankind. But what [
has be gained by the transaction ?
Has lie settled with his merchant?
Has he stocked his granary and his
larder ? Has lie achieved financial
independence ? He sits there guz
ing at a desolate field with gates
unhinged, at tumble-dowu staples!
and empty cribs, at his comfortless!
dwelling and haggard work stock.
What is his share in this famous
victory ? He can go to the grocery
on Sunday aud boast with the
neighbors of the unprecedent num
ber of hales lie has shipped, hut
when he gets home aud takes out
his accounts of sales returned from
the metropolis, do the figures show
| that he lias paid his debts?
A famous victor}’, verily ; but for
whom? Without answering that
question, we may as well repeat
the barbarian chieftino’s speech
| “One more victory like this aud I
jam lost!”
—Dr. Louis Fitzpatrick lias
j found, after many trials, the local
| application of tincture of iodine to
! exert a well-marked influence in
j checking the growth. This is by
[far preferable to the nitrate of sil
' ver, which makes an unsightly
j mark, and often fails in its object.
! The early use of iodine acts as a
[ prompt abortive. To apply it the
lids should beheld apart by the
thumb and index finger of the left,
hand, while the iodine is painted
over the inflamed papilla with a
fine camel-hair pencil. The liusj
should not he allowed to cotue in:
contact uulil the part touched is j
dry. A few such applications in !
the twentv-four hours is sufficient.:
—Women are sometimes wiser
than men. When the Southern
people wgre wild with enthusiasm
over the bulletins from the first
battle of Manassas, the wife of a
Mississippi congressman remarked
to a circle of friends : ‘’Take the
history of the conflicts of the world,
and yon will find Southern soldiers
were always more enthusiastic and
generally victorious at the begin
ning of wars, but the pertinacity
and bull-dog tenacity wore them
lout in the end. Such will be the
case in this war, although I hope
‘for onoo history will not repeat it

j A DUDE IN THE WILD WEST.
The car was full, and I pre-emp
i ted a seat on a rear platform. In
j side were miners bound for Carbo
j nate, a drummer, one lady, aud a
! something that we all decided was
i a dude. Once in a while the train
| would he lost amid coney pines,
i and then through a gap in the trees
would be caught an Edenlikw
glimpse of the disappearing park.
There were innumerable shades of
greeu beside the track ; the bril
liau’cy of the grass and the almost
black of the forest. Even the dudu
showed au interest. “No paintah,
aw, could do this thing, ye know,
aw." The language of dude
was not particularly flop;* hut his
head was level. However, he got
knocked completely out of time
further on. The train stopped at
a neat cottage painted brown, lu
the door was a rosy cheeked mai
den leaning in an unconscious grace
upon her broom.
i “Aw, me gurlil, don’t ye get lone
some, ye know, aw, way up heali ?”
lie ventured, with a smile that tres
passed on the back of his neck.
The girl seemed astonished for a
moment, and then looking over her
shoulder, called : “Pap! pap! the
dime museum monkey is loose ?
Kill it and get its clothes.” The
dude seemed to shrink, and noth
ing could induce him to open his
mouth from that point to the jour
ney’s end.
NOW, NOT TO-MOKKOW.
In one of the meetings held in
Edinburgh by Mr. Moody was a
miner in his working clothes, sit
ting near the front, very attentive
and impressed. At the elose of
the meeting he rose to go away ;
but after walking down the pas
sage; he turned and sat dowu ag
ain. His friends came up to him
and said, “Comfe awa’ liame, John,”
“No,” said he, “I came here to get
good, and I have na taken it a’
in yet.” There was more prayer
and another hymn, and special con
versation with himself. His heart
was touched and changed; with his
hard, rough grip, he shook the min
ister’s hand, and' said, ‘*l have
wondered if this might he true; I
now believe it. It has brought
peace to tny soul. I know and
trust mv Saviour.” Ou the next
day, while working, a mass of coal
or rock fell on him. The injuries
were fatal. Death was close at
hand. A fellow workman approach
ed. “Bend down your ear to me,”
said the dying man, and then he
added, “Oh, .Andrew, I’m thankful
I settled it last night.”
j —What is the matter with the
| “Code”? Judging from the uum
i her of bills offered providing for
amendments of one kind dr anoth
er, it must be a very deflective in
; strurnent. Ten were introduced on
Wednesday last, ami hardly a day
! passes that three or more are not
offered. Is the Code really so full
I of absurdities aud defects, or are
these hills only efforts to serve per
sonal or local interests ?—Augusta
