SELECTED POETRY.
TIRED MOTHERS.
BY MAY Bll.yi SMITH.
A little elbow leans upon your knee,
Your tired knee that lias so much to bear;
A child’s dear eyes are looking lovingly
From underneath a thatch of tangled hair.
Perhaps you do not heed the velvet touch
Of warm, moist fingers folding yours so
tight;
You do not prize this blessing overmuch—
You are almost too tired to pray to-night.
But it is blessedness ! A ytv •• ago
I did not see it as 1 do toi-day—
We are so dull and thankliW, and too slow
To catch the sunshine i L’’jtJips away.
And now it seems surpass to me,
That while 1 wore the U e B u Wot mother
hood,
I did not kiss more oft au” ot jU ty
The little child that me -taUyr
good. j VpW
And if some night whecMmi sit down to
rest, a
V o miss this elbow froija your tired knee.
This restless curling hew}, from off your
breast—
This lisping tongue that chatters con
stantly;
If from your own the dimpled hands had
slipped,
And ne’er would nestle in your palm
again;
If the white feet into theii grave had trip
ped,
I could not blame you for your heartache
then.
I wonder so that mothers ever fret
At little children clinging to their gown ;
Or that the footprints, when the days are
wet,
Are ever blaok enough to make them
frown.
If I could find a little muddy boot,
Or caps, or jackets on my chamber floor;
If I could kiss a rosy, restless foot,
And hear it patter in my house once more*
If I could mend a broken Cart to-day.'
To-morrow make a kite to reacli the sky,
There is bo woman in God’s world could
say
She was more blissfully content than I,
But ah ! the dainty pillow next my own
Is never rumpled by a shining fiend;
My sliioing birdling from its nest has flown,
The little boy I used to kiss is dead!

TURNED OUT.
Prom Vie Atlanta, Ca. Ktfon.
4 had •• pecL’fih- m
going to Knoxville to lecture. The
library folks said they wanted to
hear me talk a little, and so I fixed
up a few random thoughts and my
wife she fixed up a few random
clothes and sowed on a few but
tons and got out a couple of new
handkerchiefs that were hid away
somewhere and after a few words
of caution about my behavior, I
took her loving benediction and de
parted. The committee had writ
ten to me that they would meet me
at the train and take hospitable
care of me, and so I journeyed
along in good spirits and smoked
my cigar and read my book on
spiritualism that was sent to mB,
and ever and anon I looked out of
the window upon the green fields
of wheat and the flock of fine fat
sheep that were grazing upon them,
and upon the swollen rivers and
streams that we crossed, and so in
due course of time I reached the
Concord quarries where the trains
passed only a few miles from Knox
ville, and I noticed a couple of gen
tleman get off the down train and
get on ours and go into the pas
senger car. X was in the smoking
car and went on perusing my book.
I didn’t know anybody and nobody
knew me, but it seems that those
gentleman were the committee and
had done me the honor of coming
down so as to ride back with me,
and I wish I had known it, but I
didn’t.
They asked the conductor if Bill
Arp was aboard and he said yes,
and pointed out a middle aged jolly
looking gentleman who was reading
a paper and so they tackled him
introduced themselves and seemed
very glad to see him and asked af
ter, Mrs. Arp and the children and
how was Cobe and all the folks.
Well, the jolly gentleman, who
was a commercial angel from New
Orleans, didn’t “cath on,” as the
saying is, but as soon as he could
get his bre&th and wake np to the
situation, he told the committee
that their compliments were all
very nice, but that they bad mis
taken their man, that he wasent
Bill Arp nor William Arp nor any
member of the Arp family, and he
didn’t know how Mrs. Arp was nor
the children nor Oobe, and begged
to be excused.
Well, they excused him of course,
and apologized, and they smiled
and he smiled, and so they attack
ed the conductor again and he said
that the angel was Bill Arp, for two
gentleman aboard said they knew
him and that there was no other,
man aboard would fill the bill. He
said furthermore, that Bill was
playing off aud just wanted to have
a little joke and so forth.
So the committee made another
more violent assault upon the com
mercial angel and would take no
denial, and they argued the case
with him and he got excited argu
ed back at them, and the passen
gers gathered around and took a
hand and told the committee to go
for him, and they did.
“Oh, no, major,” they said, “there
is no use in carrying the joke any
further, we have got you now and
are going to keep you.”
“All right, gentleman, all right.”
said the angel. “If you know more
about my name and my business
than I do, just go ahead, but as
sure as a gun is made of iron. Bill
Arp wasent my name when I left
home.” -by
“Well, where are you bound
for?” said the committee. Then
the angel smiled and said he was
bound for Knoxville. This satis
fied the committee and they inform
ed him that they had ready for him,
a phroton and a spanking team at
the carshed. “Very well, gentle
man, very well, it’s two against one
and the conductor and these pas
sengers all against me, and I sup
pose I will have to surrender, but
one thing is certain, I’m not going
to lecture to-night. You may lead
a horse to the branch but you can’t
make him drink,” and they all smil
ed together.
When the train reached the de
pot they gently escorted the angel
to a phaeton and assisted him in
and away they went, dashing up
to the Hattie house, and the com
mittee raised their hats to their
friends as they rolled along.
In the meantime, where was I?
I had just finished the “bottom
facts” of my book, as I stepped
down upon the platform. I glanc
ed around with an inquiring eye
and I saw nobody that seemed to
be looking for me. 1 stood for a
moment in dignified composure,
and as the crowd moved off, I be
gan to feel lonesome and almost,
imagined myself an injured and
neglected individual. Then it oc
curred to me that maybe the com
mittee was sick or suddenly called
away from home, or that maybe I
was not of so much consequence as
I thought I was, and so I gripped
rav carpet sack and hurried to an
omnibus. Jusi, as I tfot there, I
heard a familliar voice hail me. It
was the voice of an old friend
whom I used to know in Rome, and
he asked me why I up
with the committee, and then told
as how the committe went down
the road to meet me and he saw
them drive up town with another
feller, and so we went on with the
omnibus, and on arriving at the
Hattie house, found the committee
in tribulation, for the landlord
knew the angel, and they had to
give it up, and the commotion and
hilarity was sad and peculiar and
about that time I walked up very
modestly to the register and as the
landlord watched my pen, I put
down my name, and he called out
with a laugh, “here’s your man—
here’s Bill Arp—here’s the lost pil
grim from the mountains ofHepsi
dam.” Then came the denounce
ment, then came the explanations
and the apologies and the congrat
ulations. The angel howdyd with
me and I howdyd with the augel.
He said he felt like an escaped con
vict from a chaingang, and the com
mittee said they felt like this world
was all a fleeting show for men’s
illusions given, and I said I felt
like it was all my fault for not rid
ing in the other car and putting on
more style and consequence, and so
we made friends all around and
so that night I fired my random
thoughts at a large audience and
we all harmonized and became calm
and serene.
Next morning I rode out-with
Colonel Dickenson to his beautiful
farm—his “island home,” about
two miles up the river, and there
my eyes were feasted upon natural
and artificial beanties, and I was
surprised and bewildered to see
what can be done by the handi
work and genius of man in assist
ing nature. It was no fitting time
nor season for the show of fruits or
flowers, but I could well imagine
from what was all around me how
wonderfully beautiful those grounds
must be in the Spring and Summer
when the trees were all in leaf and
the flowers in bloom and the fruit
showing its juicy colors to the sun.
As it was the spacious green house
170 feet long, was full of rich and
radiant loveliness. The grass all
around was luxuriant and the fields
of wheat and clover far in advance
of anything I had seen. The
heavy coat of barnyard manure
that had been broadcasted all over
his grounds had kept the surface
warm and shielded it from the win
ter’s cold. There were vineyards
and orchards and fruit trees of ev
ery kind in large areas and the car
riage roads and walks were all
gravelled from marble quaiies aud
bordered with abundant shade.
Handsome buildings graced the
gentle bills and slopes and over*
TERMS :—s2 OO per Ainmm, In Advance.
looked the beautiful Tennessee riv
er, and afar in the distance the city
of Knoxville loomed up from her
own imposing high lands, and
South of us the Alleganey and the
Cumberland mountains, completed
the charming scene.
Besides the large mansion where
the superintendent lived (for the
colonel lives in a palace in the city)
there were handsome structures for
various departments. The dairy
was ornamented with a golden cow
upon its spire and the hennery
with a golden cock, and the park
department with a golden hog,,and
the stables with a golden horse.—
“Come and see my two little
calves,” said thdi colonel, and, be
fore I was was face to face
with two short horn steers about
three years old that weighed 5,000
pounds and their paternal ancestor
cost ten thousand dollars and the
maternal thirty-five hundred. This
was the celebrated Rose of Sharon
stock. He showed me a hog that
be was going to fatten next Fall,
for he weighed only 900. now, and
was thin, and theie were some
Yorkshire whites near by that look
ed just like the pictures one sees
in the Country Gentlemtin. I al
ways thought those pictures were
overdrawn, but I am satisfied now
that just such hogs do grow. For
the first time, I saw these Forman
Percheron horsea drawing their
tremendous loads, and the wagon
er said he had never found out
how much they could pull. He
was breaking a colt just one year
old, and he was seventeen hands
high. The colonel seems to fan-
cy size in everything, and takes
pride in seeing how large he can
grow cattle and hogs and fruits of
all kinds. He is a widower and
childless and now his very life is
wrapped up in these innocent and
refining pleasures. Ido not think
he cares much whether this invest
ment loses or makes him monev,
for his income from other sources
is large and ample, and he said to
me, I do not know how much I
have expended here. It is not for
profit but for my pleasure and my
health and I delight to have my
friends enjoy it with me—well, it
is all very cheap to other people.
They are welcome to feast their
upon it as often as they
ohooce, arid that -ia ail he can do.
1 wish that Ilived near to him, but
then the children would feel a lit
tle crowded and restrained I reck
on, for there is a sign board very
conspicuous and its large letters
say:
Welcome to view the beauty of this place,
Raised by the gardener’s skill ou nature's
face.
Then feast your eyes, for ’tis of pleasure
full,
But no rude hand may fruit or flower pull,
For pulling fruit without the gardener’s
leave,
Mankind was ruined by our Mother Eve.
Well, I reckon the colonel is hap
py. He ought to be, for he has
everything around him that we cov
et. Most every man looks forward
to a time when he will have some
such pleasure on a small scale, but
as we rode along the highway and
the humble children of the poor
clapped their hands and shouted
howdy, Mr. Dickenson, and he
stopped and called them all by
name and said kind words to them
and told them to be good to their
father and mother. I thought that
maybe he had some other chances
for Heaven besides his paradise at
Island Home. I learned afterwards
that those children were clothed
from his bounty and no pinching
want was allowed to come nigh
them. He stopped to say good
words to every humble wagoner we
passed or overtook and they felt
glad to see him and he cared for
their comfort in many ways.
I dined at the University that
day with Prof. Glenn, an old Geor
gia friend, and with Col. MdAdqo,
another Georgian and with other
gentlemen whom I felt honored to
meet and know. The University
is now on a substantial financial
basis and is in a prosperous condi
tion. Its agricultural department
is anew feature, and its experi
mental farm a success. This in
stitution has now an income of
twenty thousand dollars. It is
marvellous how education has
loomed up and established itself
in the South since the war. Gur
colleges seem to have thriven upon
our poverty. We had no endow
ments in ante-bellum days, but
now we find them all over the land,
Athens and Ox'ord and Dahlonega
and Macon and Milledgeville and
Home, are all endowed liberally.
And then look at Vanderbilt and
Suwanee and Knoxville and even
the little village of Maryville, only
sixteen miles from Knoxville has a
college with a hundred thousand
dollars to rest upon. Well, if our
people don’t get an education it is
their own fault. Our fathei’S had
to graduate at old field schools and
be thankful. J hope that our chil
dren will make as good men and
good citizens as those who have
gone before. Bill Akp.

DUTIES OF DAILY LIFE.
Life is not entirely made np of
great evils or heavy trials; but the
perpetual recurrency of petty evils
and small trials is the ordinary and
appointed exercise of the Christ
ian graces. To bear with the fail
ings of those about us—with their
infirmaties, their bad judgment,
their ill-breeding, their perverse
tempers—to endure neglect when
we feel we deserve attention, and
ingratitude when wO expected
thanks ; to bear with the company
of disagreeable people whom Prov
idence has placed in our way, and
whom he lias provided on purpose
for the trial of our virtue, these are
the best exerciser of patience and
self-denial, and the better because
not chosen by ourselves. To bear
with vexation in business, with dis
appointment in our' expectations,
with interruptions of our retire-
ment, with folly, intrusion, distur
bance—in short, with whatever op
poses our will or contradicts our
humor—this habitual acquiescence
appears to be more of the essence
of self-denial than any little rigors
or afflictions of our own imposing.
These constant, inevitable, but in
ferior evils, properly improved, fur
nish a good moral discipline, and
might, in the days of ignorance,
have superseded" pilgrimage and
p mance.—Hannah More.
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
A gentleman who was well known
for his liberality was besieged by
many children who were selling
tickets for a fair. A dozen filed
into his office at once, and many
more would come. He could not
be expected to buy of all, yet ho
hesitated to refuse any without a
good cause. Said he :
“I will buy tickets of all who can
say the “Ten Commandments.”
Of the twelve not one could make
the required recitation, and all be
longed to the same Sunday school
and the same class.
Another energetic young sales
wowan made her appearance.
“How many commandments do
you say there are?” she was asked.
“Sixteen.”
“You place the figure rather
high; but lets hear what you know.”
, “Well, aha alov’ly. ,“Xdon’t
know but four.” ‘
r “Say the four for me, then,”
A moment’s pause.
“I don’t believe I know but two.”
“We will hear the two, then, if
you please.”
“I’ve forgot them,” said the veu
der of tickets ; a member of the
same Sunday school and the same
class before mentioned.
“Well, then, I guess I can’t deal
with you;” and she was dismissed.
As many as fifty applied at that
time, yet none could say the com
mandments except one little girl,
of whom tickets were bought.
BEHAVIOR IN COMPANY.
Leigh Richmond gives the fol
lowing excellent advice to his
daughters:—
Be cheerful, but not gigglers.—
Be serious, but not dull. Be com
municative, but not forward. Be
kind, but not servile. Beware of
silly, thoughtless speeches; al
though you may forget them, oth
ers will not.
Remember that God’s eye is in
every place, and his ear in every
company. Beware of levity and
familiarity with young men; a
modost reserve; without affectation,
is the only safe path. Court and
encourage serious conversation
with those who are truly serious
and coqservable; and do not go
into valuable company without en
deavor to improve by the inter
course permitted you.
Nothing is more unbecoming,
when one part of a company is en
gaged in profitable and interesting
conversatron than that another part
should be trifling, and talking com
parative nonsense to each other.
—Montgomery Advertiser: Mr.
E. H. Olcott sends us a postal card
from Jasper, Pickens county, Ga.,
February 25th, in which he states
that a sign board marked, “Six
Miles to Montgomery,” was found
up there in the mountains after
the cyclone passed through that
section. It is two hundred and
fifty miles, he says, from Jasper to.
Monfgomery by the railroad, and
it is evident that the sign found
must have been carried by the cy
