FAREWELL TO MY MOTHER’S TOMB.
A MONODY WCITTKX ON LE..YINO ATUXNS.
near Mother! when I saw thine eyea
Cloae in tha marble sleep of death,
Love’s frantic and despairing criea
Attested thy departing breath ;
But Time, the llealer, apakc in tones
Of soothing to my anguished heart,
Yet filled with life’s fell pang, and groans,
I wished myself e’eu as thou art!
And oft at ere I loved to roam
Beside tiie turf that wraps thy clay,
And dream of my young childhood's home
In that bright clime so far awav
Where thou, all angel-like, didst reign
The Qiteeu of thy domestic realm,
And lauuebed my life-bark on the main
Willi tear of (sod to guide ths helm !
O, oft I’ve sat. whan dewa fell (sit,
And starry eve crept o'er the scene,
Aud prayed 'mid tears still lulling fast
Above that sacred mound of graen,
That from the heavenly heights of blits
Thy spirit would look down on mine,
And with an lutereeseoi'. Llo,J
Win for me blessings all divine I
And atauch times, my darling dead,
I tell how near Ibuu we’rt to mo
Such little space above thy bead
The iun was printed by my knee;
And souu, oh ! soon, l felt that I
Beside thee, breathless as Ibuu art.
Should lu thy icy realm, too, lie.
The deathless iova in my dead heart!
But now, alas! the stern decree
Bids me to distant lauds to go.
To leave thee. Mother, c.ea the.-,
A very exile in my <> o;
Bui I shall love thee belli r f r
When abaenen from Iby dust L. pain,—
Shall press tu ire fondly life's fierco war,
Thy blcased presence to regain !
Yet gently «h:ii thine ashes sleep,
To, ugh tar my eaiiod feet shall roam.
Tended by one whoan hands shall keep
Within the shadow of her home
Thy tomb still docked with fragrant flowers—
Hue who did love thee in thy life.
And toothed thee through the struggling hours
Which closed thy mortal being’s strife!
O, I (bait know thee iu that sphare,
Though far apart our tombs ou earth.
By that awesl angal smile which L te
All other unites were doubly a
And by tny words of welcome as eel
To greet ou high itm-o errant .ou
He,to.1 bis weary, waudormg iovt,
T bts and immortal glory won.

little heathen, as there were very
little heathen until the settlement
of New York city. She couldn’t
play th t piano, because she had
none. Had she possessed one of
those boons, she would probably
have driven her husband out of
Paradise without the intervention
of the serpent. !She could not
paint or draw. There wasn't a
drawer on earth at that time, to
say nothing of a pair of’em. She
could not embroider, her worsted
work was a success; she worsted
the whole human race. She
couldn’t receive calls, except when
Adam called her; and she got no
invitations out to ten. She was
j totally ignorant of the delights of
shopping, and never attended a
matinee in all her life. When
she went out to promenade, she
never looked around to see what
other women had on.
Every thing seemed to go well
with Eve until fruit season set in,
and then—well, every child knows
the story. She was tempted into
an apple tree to pluck some fruit
that wasn’t quite ripe and fell.
Adam fell, too—that is, he fell to
aud helped her eat it, although
with a meanness somewhat char
acteristic of his sex, lie endeavor
ed to throw all the blame on the
woman detected. Too lazy to
shake the tree himself, he was
ready enough to partake of the
fruit when brought to his hand.
After ihis/oi/x pan, Adam and
Eve were obliged to take their
respective leaves of Eden. They
were tig leaves. Eve had suddenly
( become pussesse i with a love of
j dress, and from th it early period
1 until the present, tint love has
gradually increased among the
sex, until now it amounts to a
veritable passion with some of
them. Eve founded a very exten
sive family. Besides the Massa
chusetts Adams, the entire human
race might trace back to Mr. and
Mrs. Adams, if their trace is long
enough. We don’t learn that Eve
cut up \ cry much af.cr the aff. ir
iu the garden. If she 'raised
Caiu,’ it was because Cain was
tough and hearty. If he had been
a sit kly child, perhaps she would
not have been able to raise him
It is recorded that Adam reached
the old age ot nine hundred and
thirty years before he died, but
no mention is made of Eve’s age
when she passed away. The well-
] known antipathy to telling her age
I which characterizes women iu all
ages and under every clime, may
| perhaps account for this.—Boston

THE
BIOGRAPHY OF AN EMINENT WOMAN BY
ONE WIlo KNEW HER WELL.
I11 writing biographies of emi
nent women, it is tit that we begin
with mother Eve herself. Eve
belonged to one of our first fami
lies ; in fact, the very lirst. Sh
was related to the tir-t man on
the Adam side, although she had
a deep cause to regret that sht
ever left Adam's side. Philoso
phers who have probed deep into
the subject, connect Eve’s early
career as a rib with the female
fondness for a ribbon. Eve be
came Mrs. Adam, and they lived
very happily together for a time.
There was no other woman for
her to be jealous of, and her hits
band wasn’t pestered with dress
makers’ bills. She wasn't tortured
bv discovering love letters from
unknown females in Adam’s coat
tail pockets, and Adam never
blew her up boeause buttons
weren't sewed on. Eve never saw
a fashion-book or a fashion-plate
never wore high-heeled boots (sht
made a slip, hut she couldn't make
a slipper.) or shoes ; and if there
had been lots <>f newspapers
printed, she wouldn't have know
how to make back numlitrs avail
able. It never occurred to In r to
go into the lecture field, : nd a:
for voting, she didn't know what
that meant If they were going
out to an evening party, shedidu
keep Adam waiting for her to
dress until he was ready to Adam
everything, and he was never
known to come home with anoth
er’s hat or overcoat on.
How Eve could have lived with
out some other women » > gossip
with, it is hard to linderst-md at
this day, but she did. Adam is
supposed to have Iteen kept in a
glow of continual happiness by the
reflection that he hadu t an."
mother-in-law hanging around,
and couldn’t have.
Oh, but those were delightful
Saturday Xiuut.—How many
kiss has been given—how many
curse—how many a caress—how
many a look—how many a prom-
lias been broken—how many a
loved one lowered into the narrow
hamher—how many a babe lias
gone from eartl. to Heaven—how
many a little cradle stands silent
now, which last Saturday night
held the rarest treasure of the
heart.
A week is a life. A week is a
history. It marks events of »or-
ow and gladness, which people
lever heed.
Go home to your family, erring
wanderer! Go home to those you
love, man, to toil aud give 011c
iigiit'to the joys and comforts fast
dying by.
Leave ya r Iwioks, complex fig
ures, your dingy office—your busy
hop ! Rest with those you love,
for Heaven only knows what the
next Saturday night may tiling
you! Forget the world of care
and battles of life which have fur
rowed the week. Draw close
around the family hearth. Satur
day night has awaited your coming
in sadness, in tears, in silence.
Go home to those you love, and
as you liask iu the loved presence,
and meet aud return the embrace
of your heart's pets, strive to be
better man and bless Heaven
for giving his children so dear a
stepping-stone in the river of the
eternal, as Saturday night.
MY COURTSHIP.
There was many afTectin ties
which made me hanker nrtcr Betsy
Jane. Her father’s farm jined
ourn; their cows and otirn sqcncht
their thurst at the same spring; our
old mures both had stars in their
forreds; the measles broke out in
botli fmnerlies at ueaily the same
period ; our parients (Betsy’s and
mine) slept regularly every Sun
day in the same meetin house, aud
the nabors used to observe—'How
thick the Wards and Peaslcys air!’
It was a sublime sight in the
spring of the year to see our
several mothers (Betsy’s and
mine) with their gowns pind up
so that they couldn’t sile ein, af-
fecsbunately bilin soap together
and ahoosiu the nabors.
Altlio I hankered intensely arter
the olijcck of iny afleckshiins, I
darsent tell her of the fires that
was ragin in my manly buzzum.
I'd try to dti it, but my tung would
kerwallop up agin the roof of my*
mowtli and stick thur, like doth
to a deceast African, or a country
postmaster to his offis, while my
heart whanged agin my ribs like
an old fashioned dale agin a barn
floor.
Twas a calm, still nite in Joon.
All natur was husht, and nary
zeter disturbed the screen silens.
I sot with Betsy Jane on the fense
of her father’s paster. We'd been
ronipin threw the woods, kullin
flours and driviu the woodchuck
from his uativ lair (so to speak)
with long sticks. Wall, we sot
thar on the fense, a swingin our
feet to and fro, blushing as red as
the Batdinsville school house when
it was fust painted, and lookin
very simple, I make no doubt.
My left arui was okepied in bal-
lunsin myself on the fense, while
my right was wounded luvingly
round her waste.
I cleared my throat, and trem-
blinly sed:
Betsy, you’re a gazelle.
I thought that air was purty
fine. I waited to see what efl’eck
it would have upon her. It evi
dently didn’t fetch her, for she up
and sed—
You’re a sheep!
Scz I—
Betsy, I think very much of
you.
I dont believe a word you say
—so there, now cum, with much
ohservnshun, she hitched away
from me.
I wish there was winders to my
sole ! sed 1, so that you could see
suin of my feclins. There is tire
enutf iu here, sed I, strikin my
huzzum with my fist, to bile all
the corn beeff and turnips in the
n b >rho«id. Versoovious and the
critter aint a circumstans.
She bowed her head down and
conuncnst efiawin the strings of
her sun-bonnet.
Ar, could you know the sleep
less liites I worry threw on your
account, how vittles has seized to
be attractive to me, and how my
lims lias shrunk up, you wouldnl
dowt me. Gaze on this Avast in
form and these ere sunken cheeks.
I should have eontimicrcd on iu
this strane probly fur sum time,
but unfort unit ly, I lost my lull-
lunse and fell over into the paster
kersmash, teat-in my close and se
verely damaging myself gincrally.
Betsy Jane sprung to my assist
ance in duhhlu quick time, and
she dragged me 4th. Then,
drawiu herself up to her full bite,
she sed—
I wont listen to your noncents no
longer. Jest say rite strait out
what you ar drivin at. If you
mean gittin hitched, I am in !
1 considered that enuff for all
particlar purpuses, and tve pro

A Clash of Smells.—A negro
party applied to a livery stable
keeper in this vicinity for n team
and sleigh to take them to a dance
in the evening. Having the fear
of the civil rights bill before his
eyes, lie thereupon named a price,
cash down, that lie did not expect
they would pay. But the colored
gentlemen came down ivith the
greenbacks required, aud ordered
the conveyance ready at 7 o’clock
in the evening. Arrived at the
rendezvous, the liveryman blank
eted his horsess and sat down in
a corner of the room to wait for
the dance to be n\’er. As the
party warmed up in the exercise,
the natural perfume from the
darkies became intolerable, and
the driver concluded to go out to
his sleigh, mil himself in lilankets,
and Avait for the breaking up ot
the party. At this moment, one
of the colored gentlemen ap
proached and politely inquired if
he would have any objection to
takiug a scat in another room,
adding,' Do ladies complain of de

gives these soil rules for action in case
of accident: For dust in the eyes,
•vei l rubbing; dash wator iutb them
remove cli ders. etc., with the round
point ot a lead pencil. Remove in
sects from the ear by tepid Avater; nev
er put a hard instrument into the ear.
If an artery is cut compress above the
wound ; if a vein is cut compress be
low. If choked get upon all fours and
cuigh. For light burns dip the part
in cold water; if the skin » destroyed
cover with vami-h. Smother a lire
with carpets, etc; witter will often
spread burning oil and increase the
danger. Before passing through sm< ike,
take a full breath, and then 6toop low
but if oarhon is suspected, then walk
«tect. Suck poisonous wounds, unless
vour mouth is sore. Enlarge the
wound, or, better, cut the part out
without delay. Hold the wounded
part as long as can be home to a hot

the feeling in the South by relating
what lie himself saw iu Augusta, Ga.
Being himself unknown, he happened
to be in that city on the day chosen for
decorating the graves of the Confede
rate dead. He remained aud observed
closely the proceedings. A long pro
cession marched through the city with
lire engines, civic organizations, &c.,
it being treated as a general holiday.
He observed the significant fact that
while men and women were gathered
for the purpose of paying a tribute to
the memory of the dead Confederate
soldiers, the principal music on the oc
casion was furnished by a band belong
ing to a regular United States infantry
regiment stationed in the vicinity.

in each of the following cities, stopping
frequently at places of less consequence,
viz: Richmond, Charleston, Columbia,
Savannah, Jacksonville, Atlanta,
Augusta and Aikt-u. The most of his
time was spent in Florida. He says
so far as he saw, and he went with his
eyes and ears open, there was no feel
ing of fear or distrust on the part of
the colored people, and he could not,
for the life of him, see what use there
was for force hills. He was very glad
to have made the trip, for it has euabled
him to understand the condition of the
South better than he has ever under*-
stood it before. He said it was not the
Ku-Klux that was ruining the South,
nor was tlieir unhappy condition to be
attributed to hatred by the Southern
people of the North, nor was any poli
tical question involved. lie thinks the
whole trouble in the South arises from
finaucial and industrial cause.'-, and he
believes that tiie South ivill not im
prove and advance until the Forty-
tourth Congress repeals the financial
legislation ot the Forty-third; until
the industries of the country are re
vived, and we are forced to live within
our income. The South will grow
worse instead of better. As matters
arc going now, the judge thinks that
not only the South aud Southwest will
be involved in ruin, but the country
itself will be hopelessly insolvent. The
treasury, he thinks, is already empty;
work is stopping in the navy-yards, on
the public works, buildings, &c., for
the money has run out. The receipts
are not equal to the expenditures, and
a day of settlement is not far off He
was asked how long the treasury would
hold out, and nc answered that unless
there is an improvement in the customs
and internal receipts the treasury will
be empty hy September next. Judge
Kelley called on Secretary Bristow
and had a long talk on financial mat
ters, hut did not succeed in obtaining
any new iuforinatiou from the secretary.
The judge asked him how soon he was
to begin to buy currency again. The
secretary did uot like that way of
stating it, hut he was told by the judge
RUINOUS OR ANTIS M.
The statement made in these dis
patches six weeks ago that the new
revenue bill would not meet the expec
tations of its authors, is fully justified
hy the published receipts for the four
months of the new year. The total
receipts for the fiscal year to April 30,
are, in round numbers, 8223,510,871.
Of this, $133,752,000 are custom re*
ceipts, and $89,758,871 Internal Rev
enue returns. The Iuternal Revenue
r «eipts for the four months of 1875
are 836,485.420, and the recetpts'.for
April are 87,022,331. Thu is a large
filling off from the receipts for the
corresponding pe r '°d of last year,
April alone falling nearly $3,000,000
behind, as compared with the returns
for tiie same mouth of 1874.
The estimated receipts from customs
and Internal Revenue for the present
fucal year were $267,000,000, and
thus far, the total receipts have been
in louid numbers, only 8224,000,000.
Hence, May and June will have to
yield S43,000,000 to make the hooks
balance. To do this, Internal Reve
nue will have to yield nearly sixteen
millions and customs nearly twenty-
eight millions. During May, the spe
cial license taxes arc collected, and
this will help the Internal Revenue
receipts some, but otherwise, both May
and June are dull months, and they
are eqiecially so in tho custom de
partment, there being but little busi
ness done by importers during these
months.
The new revenue bill was construed
s x as to take effect on the 3rd day of
March, and yet, it has made no per
ceptible difference in the customs re
ceipts, and but little in the Internal
Revenue collections. It is therefore,
inevitable that the receipts for the pre
sent fiscal year trill fall short several
millions of dollars on the estimates,
while, on the other hand, the expends
itures will assuredly run ahead several
millions. In addition to all this, the
currency balances in the treasury have
run down to less than a million and
three quarters, and unless it is replen
ished by sales of gold, they will be en
tirely exhausted. But sales of gold
are scarcely to be thought of, because
the drain on the specie revenues must
be very heavy during the remainder
of the fiscal year.
While the Secretary of the treasury
is compelled to face this unsatisfactory
condition of things in his department,
he hears from every quarter of the
country the most discourag’ng reports
in regard to the revival of business.
The reports received at the agricultural
department, gii'es a gloomy account of
the farming interests in every section
of the country. There is the same u:.-
sfiibility among manufacturers which
has existed for eighteen months, whh
no prospect of any immediate change.
The extent of the suffering among the
poor classes is appreciable, from the
facts supplied by the federal city itself.
The general government disburses here
over a million dollars per month iu
salaries, and the district government
is doing a vast amount of work on the
streets of this city, hut notwithstand
ing these facts, there has never beer,
more suffering among the poor than,
now prei’ails, and this suffering is not
confined to the colored population,
but is chieflv among ths white laboring:

ism is no mistake. It is deliberate,
intentional, wicked, ever-increasing
crime; [applause;] it has trampled
upon ten thousand oaths to support tbe
Constitution. It defied the Union as
fact that it might destroy the Union
as a principle; under the pretense of
reconstructing the States, it has do*
stroyed tiie States. It has sworn t»
support the Constitution only to seize
upon power to enable it to subvert the
Constitution; under pretense of re
storing peace, it has bhghted the coun
try with war, poverty and sorrow; it
has burned cities, it has dispersed Le
gislatures, it has robbed the poor,-
plundered tbe helpless, punished the
innocent, and it 1ms chained liberty to
the car oi tyranny. I arraign Radical

Constitution of our fathers; it is a

a rebel against every blessing of liberty.
