VJ ILJr IT 2’ 4 V f
! The infant in the nurses’ arms,
’lire you have thought to teach it A,
’ Is shown it that vvheu you coinmanil,
Its proper sphere ia to oTbey,
Learns with indulgence of yours,
To make its every action pay.
The youth who’s thinking of a mate,
Front whom, thro’ life he would not stay,
If yon will only watch his acts,
And disregard what he may say—
Is looking for a secret which
tVill teach him how to make it pay.
So cunning are the acts he’ll use,
That Cupid yields to Mammon’s sway;
And should he search for it ngain,
Ilis labor surely would not pay ;
The ladies, as they pass along,
In size just like a stack of hay—
And whose commanding presence shows,
That all concerned must clear the way—
Expect in following up the mode,
To make it largely , widely pay.
The minister who groans and sighs,
While telling of the narrow way,
And all the terrors that await
Poor sinners at the judgment day—
Intends, as much as you or I,
In fame or cash to make it pay.
The Editor, whose weighty cares
Consumes two hours every day,
Who pleads so piteously that we,
Would help hint in his toilsome way—
Knows that his pleasant business will,
(If be can gull his readers j pay.
The doctor, with a single dose,
Can make a man his life-time pay ;
And as his knowledge teaches him
Quickly hotv to maim and slay—
lie warps his conscieuce when he sees,
A proper chance to make it pay.
The lawyer with his legal lore,
Hi3 cxiant’s rights will so portray
That, right or wrong, they may, who hear,
Cannot his arguments gainsay ;
That black is white, or day is night,
He’d prove, if he could make it pay.
The teacher once in every year,
Prepares to make a grand display,
Then will his pupils write and speak,
Os Science, all-enlightning ray—
Though they don’t know what Science means,
He still continues to make it pay.
The politician who has found
A shorter and a better way,
To steer the ship of state into
The waters of the wislied-for bay’s,
Will change his course for selfish ends,
Provided he can make it pay.
The merchant, witlr no goods on hand,
Expects anew supply to-day,
By every recent mail lie believes,
That they are sw'iftly on the way ;
In this, and other things, perhaps,
We guess he lies, but makes it pa y.
The Legislature who is called,
To furnish laws that we obey,
Will swap liis patriotic vote,
(So I have heard some persons say,)
But does uot think that people see,
He is influenced by the pay.
The poet by liis idle songs,
Ilis lack of judgement does betray,
Each whim that he can put in rhyme,
Is hurried to the press straightway—■
With all liis inconsiderate acts,
E’en he would gladly make it pay.

THE L.OST CAUSE,
TO THE CONFEDERATE DEAD WHEREVER THEY
MAY REST.
BY S. K. PHILLIPPS.
I
Oh sacred Cause ! Cause to our hearts
most dear,
An humble son ’tween pain, and hope, and
fear,
Comes with his simple gift of song to throw,
Around your broken form the earnest glow,
Os rev’rent love and pride ; for your short
life,
Tho’ written o’er with the red lines of strife,
In regal splendor far transcends the tales,
Os aught we hear that trembles on the gales
Os crumbled centuries; each sentence there,
Stands out in bold relief amidst the glare,
Os more than Spartan glory and renown,
And claims for you the amaranthine crown.
11.
Thrown into life amidst contending thought,
Born where the Right was cheaply sold and
bought.
By the long purse of Wrong, or rudely
spurn’d
By the strong arm of Might, you early
learned
To on your own heroic self rely,
And work by faith your noble destiny;
For you posess’d e’en in your infant hours,
Some presage of those mighty after powers,
Whose exercise should make the citadel
Os Wrong, and from her leprous soul dispel
The vulgar courage that had center’d there,
And give instead a foretaste of despair.
111.
Thus born beneath the very dome where
Might,
In other years upheld alone the Right,
With proud faith which ever made her
strong,
To shiver with her lance the crest of Wrong ;
It, is not strange that yout life should reveal,
Those noble purposes which set the seal,
Os fadeless glory upon a nation’s name,
So that, hevv’er the tide may turn it’s fame
Is well secur’d ; there is no shoal or strand,
O’er which it shall not safely pass and land,
With all its freight, on Fame’s translucent
shore,
Where endless honors wait it evermore.
IV.
Baptis’d in blood, we knew for years your
form
Must stem a purple tide, and breast a storm
Whose vengeful thunder-bolts were even
then,
Forg’d for the contest, all surcharg’d with
pain,
And desolation, and contempt; but, strong,
And full of hope, we cast our eyes along
The looming years—read on their op’niug
hours,
A noble promise of enlarged powers,
A grander life—a life whose nerveful beat,
Should teach humanity to calmly meet,
And over come the dangers and the scorn,
Begot by W’rath and of oppression born.
V.
Thus arm’d with truth —with Virtue close
allied.
Upheld by souls replete with knightly pride,
And garlanded with prayors from saintly
lips,
What wonder that, e’en the emerald crypts.
Os our proud souls, we felt your birth-throes
reach,
And quicken us, ’till we swore each to each,
That life nor death, nor aught of human ties,
Should sever us from you—our destinies,
While God would grant us but an inch of
breath.
Should be a solemn marriage— naught but
death,
Whose frozen fingers stop the oven flow
Os human tide, could dim its sacred glow.
VI.
Upon this solemn union we did ask
Coil s benediction. Well we knew the task,
Biiieli it asserted and which we upheld
Ih serv and the invocation : i! should wield,
And rivet upon thought's imperial form
A stern, resistless power, which nor storm.
Nor sunshine e’er should weaken, it should
stand
A monument of plighted faith, so grand
And white in all its virgin purity.
That not a hand could touch it. not an eye
Ue*t ou it save in wondrous pride and awe,
That man could frame and die for‘such a
law.
VII.
Ilavc' we not kcpt*our oath ? Ask dales and
hills—
The ocean's billows nnd the murmuring rills :
Ask mountain glens, and peaks that upward
rise
hike dim cathedral spire ’gainst golden skies,
The answer comes from dale, and crag, and
flood,
Yc have been true—your souls have faith
ful stood,
To all that God or country could have asked ;
■ No love withheld—no hate have over mas’d ;
No deed have done to blur its spotless sheen ;
None left undone whose shade could come
between,
To dim its glinting glory—ray on ray
Is affluent as on its natal day,
VIII.
Lost Cause ! Is virtue ever lost ? If so,
What is God's purpose in the earth below ?
What in the heavens above, the singing
spheres
Whose wondrous harmony enrapts the cars,
Os prophet, priest and king ? what of that
love
Which bears with us tlio’ from the right we
rove,
(Itself on virtue based,) whose slightest
voice,
Makes anguish riven human hearts rejoice—
That takes away the paiufulness of sin,
Shuts darkness out, send floods of light
within,
And when our paths are crooked makes them
straight
Across the flood and to the pearly gate.
IX.
God’s love is sure—our_LosT Cause no less
so,
He is its author. Truth and right we know
Were its chief corner-stones, and tho’ it lies,
In solemn state ’mong fallen dynasties,
A corpse within the crowded crypts of
Time,
The trump of Freedom with a strain sublime,
Shall yet its resurrection morning sound ;
And Freedom’s sous who walk its sacred
ground—
Who once upheld it with their stalworth
wills,
Shall break the pent up silence of its hills—
Rush to its sepulchre that blessed day,
And with their own hands roll the stone
away.
Selma, Ala., April 25th, 1809.
True To Tire Gray.
BY PEARL RIVERS.
I cannot listen to your words,
The land is long and wide ;
Go seek some happy Northern girl
To be your loving bride.
My brothers they were soldiers—
The youngest of three
Was slain while fighting by the sido
Os gallant Jb’itzliugh Lee.
They left hts body on the nc-ia,
(Tour side that had won ;)
A soldier spurned him with his foot,
You might have been the one.
My lover was a soldier,
He belonged to Gordon’s band ;
A sabre pierced his gallant heart,
Yours might have been the hand.
He reeled and fell, he was not dead,
A horseman spurred his steed,
And trampled on the dying brain,
You may have done the deed.
I hold no hatred in my heart,
No cold, unrighteous pride ;
For many a gallant soldier fought
Upon the other side.
But still I cannot kiss the hand
That smote my country sore,
Nor love the foes that trampled down
The colors that she bore.

“TSie Dutchman’s Insurance.’*
A good story is told of a Ger uan by
the name of Schmidt, who had taken
the precaution to insure the life of his
wife for $5,000, and his stable for SOOO,
believing the former might die and the
latter burnt, and he could not get
along without some compensation for
the loss. Both policies had been taken
from the same agent.
In a few months after the stable had
been insured it caught fire aud was
destroyed. Schmidt quietly notified
the agent, and hinted to him that he
would expect the nine hundred dollars
at the earliest poasible moment. The
agent at once sent a builder to ascer
tain the cost of the same dimension,
having learned that the property had
been insured for more than it was
worth. Tho builder reported that he
could replace the stable with new ma
terial for SSOO, but unfortunately there
was an ordinance preventing the erec
tion of frame buildings—the cld stable
having been of wood. Ho was a- ked
to estimate the cost of a brick stable,
and reported the amount at $750. The
agent then notified Schmidt that, he
would build him anew brick stable in 1
place of the old frame oue ; hut
Schmidt became very indignant about
the proposition, saying,
‘I do not understand dis insurance
business. I pay you for nine hum lie. I
tollar, and when my shtable burn bowu
! you make me anew one. Inowo at a
new shtable. I want nine hi.min .1
| tollar.’
i 1 keageiitreiisouedwith Schmidt, lut
ali to i.o purpose. When tho stable
was about finished, Schmidt went to
I consult a lawyer, thihkmg !:# «wm»l.l
sf ill get tho amount ol the policy, be
sides having the new stable.
The lawyer, however, informed him
that the company had a right to net' o
good the loss by building anew stal io
and expressed surprise that Ik* should
talk of bringing suit against them.
‘But,’ said Schmidt, *1 insure far muo
hundred iolhir, nr.d this feller put up
dem bLtable for seven hundred and
fifty—l do not understand this insu
rance business.
Finding that ho could not colnj>cl
tho payment by law, Schmidt deter
mined to get out of the business, alto
gether. Calling up tho agent, Scimuut
said:
•Mr Agent, I want you to shtop dem
insurance on my flow. I ngt pay any
more monish dat way. I not under
stand dis insurance business.
Agent, Burprised—‘\Vby, Mr. Schmidt
you are doing a very foolish tiling.—
You have paid considerable on litis
policy already, and if your wife bliould
die you will get $5,000.
‘Yah, dat ish vat you tell mo now,’
said Scliimdt. ‘Yen I pays you on my
shtable you say I get nine humh * and

and you not give me mine munith.
You say, ‘O dat vash an olt ffamo
