TRIBUTE TO WOMAN.
“More human more divine than wo—-
In truth, half human, half divide—
In woman when good stars agree
To temper with their beams benign
The hour of her nativity.
The fairest flower the green earth bears,
Bright with the dew and light of heaven.
Is, of the double life she wears,
The type in grace and glory given
By Soil and sun in equal shares.
Truesist rof tho Son of Man : **
True sister of the Son of God,
What marvel that she lends the van
Os those who in the path he trod.
Still bear tho cross and wear the ban 1
If God be in the sky and sea,
And live in light and ride the storm,
Then Qod is God, altough he be
Enshrined within a woman's form.
And claims glad reverence from me,
So, as I worship Him in Chjist,
And in the forms of Earth and Air,
I worship him imparadised.
. And throned within her bosom fait
Whom vanity hath cot enticed.
0 ! woman—mother ! Woman—wife !
The sweetest names that language knows
Thy breast, with holy motives rife,
With holies; affection s glows,
Thou queen, tiiou angel of my life.
Noble and fine in his degree
Is the best man my heart receives ;
And this my heart’s supremest plea
For him ; he feels, acts lives, belitves,
Asd soems, and is, tho likest thee.
0 men ! 0 brothers ! Well I know
That with her nature in our souls
Ts born the elemental woe,—
The brutal impulse that controls
And drives, ordrage, the godlike low.
Ambition, appetite and pride ——
These throng and thurall the hearts of men
These' plant the thorns, and pierce tho side
Os him whe, in our sou s again,
Is spit upon, and crucifled.
) The greed for gnu, ‘me tnirs fuf poWef,
The lust that blackens while it hums :
Ah I these the whitest souls deflour 1
And on. or all ot theso by turns,
Rob man of his divinest power!
Yet man, who shivers like a straw
Before temptations lighest broeze,
Assumes the master—gives the law
To her who, on her bended knees
Resists the black-winged thunder flaw !
To him who deems her weak and vain,
And boasts his own exceeding might,
She clings through darkest fortune fain j
Still loyal, though the ruffians smite;
Still true, though crime his hands distain 1
And is this weakness 1 Is it net
The strength of God, that loves and bears
Though he be slighted or forgot
In damning crimes, or driving cares
And olosests clings in darkest lot
Not many lriends my life has mado ;
Few have I loved, und few are they
Who in my bund their hearts havo laid j
And those were women. lam gray,
But never have I been betrayed.
These words—this tribute for the sake
Os truth to God and womankind !
Theso—That my he.,rt may cease to ache
W ith love and gratitude confined, .
And burning frjm my lips to b-oak !
These—to that sisterhood of grsoo
That numbers in its sacred list
My mother, risen to her place ;
My _wife but yester-uiorning kissed,
And folded in Love's last embrace !.
This tribute of a love profound
As ever moved the heart of man,
To t hose to whom my life is bound.
- To her in whom my life began,
And her whose love my life hath crowned !
Immortal Love j Thou still bast wings
To lift me to those radiant fields,
Where music waits with trembling strings,
And Verse her happy numbers yields,
And all the soul within me Bings. .
So from the lovely Pagan dream
I call no more the Tuneful Nine,
For Woman i3 my Muse Supreme :
And she with fire and flight divine.
Shall light and lead me to my theme.
Suoaxzma,—The Pike Cos., [lll ] Democrat is

‘ At a dance the other night, two chaps got
mightily stuck after the same gal. fho, no t
being Willing to show special favor to either 8
declined dancing and seated herself in the back
part of the room. Being chily, tho fair maiden
wore a large shawl, and cno of her admirers
concluded to slip his hstnd under t®> -shawl and
try what effect .squeezing her hand would Have
lie went for i* and succeeded- La ! how happy
he was lie squeezed and she squeezed. He
felt glorious all over, and she evidently felt glo
rious too. ABkr quite a joyful time spent in
his way, the lady threw back her shawl and
revelled to a small crowd, standing near, our
two yo uths squeezing oae another's hands m s
lovingly. It don’t do te ;ay‘squeeze toeitberef

Somebody*—a woman ot course—inquires
why, when Eve was manufactured from the
rib, a servant was’nt m ide at the same time
to wait on b< r ? Somhbody else—a wo
man, we imagine—replies In the following
strain. .
Because Adam never came whining to
Eve with a ragged .decking to be darned
collar to bellowed on, or a glove to mere
‘‘right away quick now.” Because he never
read tho newspanars until the sun got dotfn
behind the and and then stretch
ing himselt out. yjiwncd out, “ain’t supper
most ready mi dear ?” Not he. He made
the fire, and hung the keltic over it himself
we’ll venture, and pulled the radishes,
peeled the potatoes, and did everything else
he ought to, He milked the cows, fed the
chickens, and looked afteiahe chickens him-.
seif.
He nejer brought homo half a dozen :
friends to dinner when Eve hhd’ut fresh]
pomegiai.itus, and the Mango season was j
over, IJe nfcver stayed until 11 o'clock to
a ward meeting, hurrahing for oat-and out
candidates and then scold because poor Eve
was sitting up and crying inside the gates
He never played billiards, rolled tenpins
and drove fast hoiscs, nor choked poor Eve ]
with tobacco smoke, Ho never loafed a- i
round corner groceries while Eve was rock)
ing little Cain’s cradle at home, .in short. ■'
he did not think she was especially created
for the purpose of waiting on him, and was
n<st under the impression that it disgraced
a man to lighten a woman's cares a little,
That's the reason that Eve did not need a
hired girl ; and with it was the reason that
her fair descendants did.
A New Plant.
The Macon Telegraph says : “The attention
of the public, and especially tho planters ha,
been directed of late to a strange plant that
has made Its appearance since the close of the
war. It appears te boa dwtrf clover, and has
spread rapidly throughout tho State, and. it is
said, the entire Southern States. It is very
thick set, covering the earth, as it wero, with a
beautiful carpet of green. It ia much relished
by cattle, and is a complete exterminator of
Berm-da, not sedge, and ether grasses. In
Middle Georgia it is very abundant, and attract*
much attention. It was not seen before the
war, und where it came from is a subject of
interesting inquiry among planters as.d b.ta
nist3.
j The Lesson of The Hour.
Will not our people-wo menu
the people of Georgia-leant a les*
son of wisdom from tho lute elec
tions ? Will thav not take new
heart and hope from a victory
whc-so importance has not been ap*
proached in the annajs of political
warfare ? If tho Brave and patri
otic men of Fennsy 1 vnnia and Ohio
had taken counsel of tneir fears ;
if they had admitted lhe strength

er, the news from the North and
West whicn has flashed new life
and courage to the country would
not havc*been im ' If they had
IsaSrified t' _. .ueipries to exptdi

jtru-.d: ‘ >; of their own liberties and
j the Constitution'of the country, in
order to escape threatened ills;
I had stifled evory instinct of man*

jtageol tiicir self-respect, then
indeed would the luturo ol

could possibly have made it. Rut ;
they did none of those things.— 1
'On the contrary, girding np their
loins for the contest, and arming

iTruth and Justice, they gave front |
land battle to the monster, crushed j
tits life out of it, and delivered a|

Georgia. —Of all tnc Southern
States says the Wilmington Star,
Georgia takes the lead in genuine
•tcuiorpriso. She well deserves the
! high and proud title of “Empire)

I State pride and energy, .-he has,
more cottou factories, bigger news 1
papers ; more thriving cities."and
, ;Ore progressive spirit than any
other sisters. If the political af
fairs of this country ever become
settled. Georgia will outstrip all
t competition. Her people have
gone to work, since the war, with
ja determination to build tip her
j waste places and make her all, aye
more, than she ever was. We ad~
■ mirc their pluck.— Nort.i Carolina
|has the natural advantages, but
ishe needs in her population much
>of the levea of enterprise and pro*
igross. Georgia sets her a worthy
example. May she follow it.
A Lesso n to I)Es pots .—lt will

of soldiers in the distructihu of a

and yet do all with impunity.

I A Story with a Moral. —A
j Conn°ctieut exchange tells tho
.following story of a boy who was
| sent from Crotou.to New London,
jono day last summer with a bag of
corn. The boy was gone all day,
j returned with the bag unopened,
which he (lumped on the floor, say*
; ing .
There’s your corn ,go and sell
' it, 1 can’t.“
i any ?“
‘'No, I vc been all over London
j with it, and nobody said anything
j concerning 2recn corn. Two or
three follows n«!ced mo what I had
in my bag, and I told them none
of" their business what it was. “
The boy is not unlike hundreds
|of merchants who will promptly
call him a fool for not tolling
what he had to sell. They are
!actually doing the same thing on
ja much larger scale than did that
iboy by not advertising their
i business.
