POETRY.
Jesus oil the Waves.
The Snnwcnt down on Salem’s towers,
The glory faded from the sky,
And over holy Palestine.
The sudden night fell heavily.
A lonely ship was on the deep:
Within were weary, anxious men,
Who doubted, though they uttered not,
If they should see the land again.
They toiled in vowing almost spent.
Wildly the wind against them blew,
And wilder yet as o’er the sea
A human form anear them drew,
A creepisug horror from their blood,
Into each other’s e> es they gazed,
All mute and trembling, troubled soar—
Why were these voyagers amazed?
Only a few short honrs before
They saw the miracle of bread.
Where one whosedaily life they shared,*
The hungry multitude Sad fed.
Surely, they might have thought, at once,
Who sought his own across the deep,
From the lone mountain's top came down.
Where he had turned to pray and weep.
What other foot could walk the flood?
What other form be there upborne/
They should have hailed the blessed sight,
Shame! to be then afraid—forlorn.
Lightly he trod the leaping waves; •
Seen in the pale moon’s tender sheen,
Cut only when they heard his voice
Knew they the God-like Kazarin".
“Bj not afiaid. ’tis I!” he said,
And answered headlong Peter, ‘Corse!’
And taught a lesson to his Church
There, ’mid the wiud* and on the foam.
Oh ! ••Gem ot Beauty.” Lord of Life,
Gone up from sacred Olive,
Beslow upon thy chosen ones
Such grace that they tray not forget
And whrn about our trembling sohls.
The tierce winds bowl and billows rave
Oh! let us in our anguish see
And hear thee, Jesus, on the wavo.
[From the Dallas Gazette]
HOME.
When memory strays among the scones
That wo have loved of yore,
The weary-wandorcr brigbt’y dreams
Or happy home once more.
Though pleasuro with her syren voice
Doth lure him far away,
Though f >me should offer him the choice
Os greatness if he stay—
In vain is each allurement spread,
To tempt him to forget—
In vain bright visions round his head
Would bani-h a’l regret.
Tho music of a mother’s t nes
Is ring ng in h’s ear.
The playmates of his early home
With jocund laughter cheer.
IVhor’er he roams by fortune led,
Though joy or grief be nigh;
Those cherished soenes their radiance shed,
Like sunlight from the sky
How Peebles asked the Old >!un.
BY JOHN QUILL.
Peebles had just asked Mr. Merriwcathtr’fi
daughter if she would give him a lift out
of bacbofortlo and the had said ‘Yea
It there"”’ • ne absolutely necessary to
get tho old mans permission, so, as Peebles '
raid cat arrangements might be made sot
bop ng tbe fconjugal twig.
Peebles said bed rather pop tho interro
gatory to all of old Merriweather’s daugh
ters, and his sisters, and his female cousin,
and bis a int Hannah in the country, and
the whole of hiq female r -lotions, than ask
old Merriweather. But it had to be done,
and so be sat down and studied out n
speech whi h he was going to disgorge to
[old Merriweather the very first chance he
got to shy it at him. So Peebles dropped
in on him one Sunday evening, when all
the family had meander, and around to class
mecting. and found him doing a sum in
beer measure, trying to calculate the extra
number of quarts his interior could hold
without blowiug the head off of him.
‘How arc you, Peeb?’ said old Merris
weather, as Peebles walked in as a chunk
of chalk, end tremblng as it he had swal
lowed a condensed earthquake. Peebles
was afraid to answer, because lie wasn’t
sure about that speech. He knew ha had to
keep his grip on it while he bad U the. or
it would slip away from him quicker than
an oiled eel through an auger hole. So be
bltrtered right oat.
Jfr. Merriwei ther, sir: Perhaps it may
be unknown to you, sir, that daring an
inded period of some firo years, I have
bell busiiy engaged in tho prosecution of
a ußnraercial enterprise—’
pi that so, and kcepin’ it a secret all the
tiae, while I thought you was tendin’ store,
Well, by George, you'ro one of ’em, now
ail 1 yon?’
Peebles had to begin all over again to
ge|the run o f it.
ifr. Merriweather, sir; Perhaps it mry
noibe unknown to you that during an ex«
teilcd period of some five years, I have
be n engaged in the prosecution of a com»
m< cial enterprise, with a determination to
pn 'lire a sufficient maintenance—’
1 Sit down. Peeb, and help yourself to
be< •. Don’t stand there holding your hat
lik a blind beggar with the paralysis. —
Wilt’s (he matter with you 1 anyway? I
ne' ?r see you behave yourself so in all my
boi l days.’
flceblea was knocked out of time again,
ant had to wander back and take a fresh
stl t.
dr. Merriweather, sir: It may not be un
kipwn to you that during a i extended pe
riod of some five years, I have 'been cn
ga ed in the prosecution of a commercial
on srprise, with tho determination to pro.
cull a sufficient maintenance ’
1 V which ance /’ asked old Merriwsath
cri but Peebles held on to the last word
lity? it was his only chai cand went on.
(In the hope that some day I might eu
tel wedlock, and bestow my earthly posses
sions upon one whom I could call my own.
I iinva been a lonely man, sir, and have felt
tht* it is not good for man to he alone,
Ihvpfore ’
• Neither is it, Peebles, and I’m all fired
glad yon dropped in. How’s the old man?’
‘Mr. Merriweather, sir,’ said Peebles in
confusion, raising his voice to a
yell, -it may not be unknown to you that
jilt ing an extended period of lonely man.
I har„- been engaged to enter wedlock, and
bestow'*’” ™!f “nmmerciar enterprise upon
one whom I could procure to be a deter
mination to he good for a sufficient posses
sions—no, I mean—that is—thht—Mr. Mer'
riweather, sir: It may not be unknown—>
•And then again it may. Look here,
Peebles, you'd better lay down’ and fake
something warm, you ain't well.’
Peebles, sweating like a four year old
colt, went in again.
‘Mr Merriweather, sir; It may not be
lonely tor you to prosecute mo whom you
can call a frienff for commercial malntes
nance, but—but—oh. dang it—Mr. Merri
weather; sir—it ’
‘Oh, Peebles, you talk as wild as a jack
ass. I never see a more first-class idiot in
the whole course of my life. What’s the
matter with you, anyhow ?’
•Mr. Merriweather, sir,’ said Peebles, iu
an agony of bewilderment, ‘it may not be
unknown thi t you prosecuted a lonely man
who is not good for a commerciel period of
wedlock felt for some five years—but—— ’
‘See here. Mr. Peebles, you’re drunk,
and if you ca.i’t behave belter than that,
you’d better leave: If you don’t I’ll chuck
you out, or I’m a Dutchman.’
■Mi. Merriweather, sir,’ said Peebles,
fra.tic with despair, ‘it may not be un
known to y"u that my earthly possessions
arc engaged to cuter wedlock five years
with a sufficiently lonely man who is not
good for a commercial maintenance ’
‘!he bloody deuce he isn’t. Now you
just git up ami git. old boss, or I’ll knock
what little brains out of you you’ve got
left.’
With that old Merriweather took Peebles
by the shirt collar and thp part of bis pants
that, wears out first if he sits down much
and shot him into the street, as if ha had
just run against a locomotive going at for
ty miles an hour. Before old Merriweather
had a chance to shut the front door Pecbleß
collected his legs and one thing and anoth
er that were tying around on the pavement
and arranged himself in a vertical po itton
and yelled out:
‘Mr. Merriweather, sir, it may not be un
known to you ’which made the old man
go wretched mad that he went out and set
a bull-tcirier on Peebles before he UAd a
chance to lilt a brogan, and there was a
scientific dog fight, with odds in favor ot
the dog, until they got to the fence, and,
even then Peebles would have carried bull
terrier borne, gripped like a clamp on to
bis leg, if it hadn’t bcerr that the meat was
( too tender, and the dog. feeling certain
that something or other must eventually
give way, held on until he got his chop off
iof Peebles’ calf, and Peebles went home
! half a pound lighyer, while Merriweather
asserts to thia’day that they bad to draw
[all the dog’s teeth to get the fiesh out of
his mouth, -for he had an holt for
! such a small animil.’
I Os course Merriweather’s dvnghter heard
abtut it, and she was so mad -hat she nev
!er gave the old man any peace until be
I went around the next day to see Peebles
| about it. Peebles looked pale as a ghost
from loss of blood and beef, and be had a
whole piste of muslin wrapped around his
off leg. Merriweather said;
‘Peeb, I'm sorry about that muss last
night, but if you didn’t behave like a rav
ing maniac. I'm a loafer. / never see such
a deliberate ass since I was born. What's
the meaning of It. any way V
•t wm only trytn* *e ask yaw to let me
marry your daughter,’ groaned Peebles.
‘Great—what?—you didn't mean to say
—well, I hope / may be shot. Well, if yon
ain’t a regular old wooden-hended idiot—
T thought your mind was wandering. Why
didn’t you say it right.out? Why, of
course, you can have her, I’m glad to get
rid of her. Take her, my boy; go it, go it,
and I'll throw a lot of first-class blessings
into the bargain.’
And Peebles looked ruefully at his de
fective leg and wished ho h&ila’t been such
a fool, but be went out aid married the
girl and lived happily with her for about
two months, and at the end of that lime he
told a confidential friend that be would
willingly take more trouble and undergo a
million more dog-bitea to get rid of her.
A Georgia Ineident.
The Savannah correspondent of the
Louisville Courier contains the following
spicy anecdote-
The other day the lien A. 11. Stephens
and Robert Toombs applied to be admitted
to practice iu Judgo Erskine’s court, and
were refused. After the adjournment of
the court, Mr. Toombs requested of Judge
Dougherty to accompany him to Mr. Era"
kiue’s room and hear a conversation
which ho desired to have with him. Wbsn
he arrived where Erskine was, Mr. Toombs
said to him. “Sir, twenty years ago when
you were drinking buttermilk out of a swill
tub iu the bogs of Ireland, I was a practi
tioner before the court you now disgrace.—
Fifteen years ago, when I was a .Senator in
Cos i gress, yon were selling larger beer from
tr.!.!.!-»t.» PimnGr of a Charleston grogge
ry, and at no period in ten years has nay
gentleman seen the time when he could af
ford to notice you on the streets; and yet,
sir, you who are perjured in accepting the
office you now hold, presume to refuse gen
tlemen the right to practice before you.”—
Here Erskine rose and told Mr. Toombs be
could not stand euifli language, as he re
garded it as insulting. Mr. Toombs told
him to be seated; that the only mortifying
part of the who! tier was that he bad
felt i inisp.lf oblig and to use su< h language
to one of -o abject and cowardly a nature
as to render him incapable of reseating it.

An interesting incident. Quite nnd interest*.
Ing incident took place at the Catholic Orphans
Fair room on Main street. Thursday night last
Mr Jefferson Davis, accompanied by Judge
Ould visited the fair on that and whilst
he was enjoying the delioaoies at tho supper
table the ladies and gentlemen present agreed
to raffle off a most beautif and cigar stand with a
musical box attached, which had boeu sent,
with many other hsQdßome articles, from
ltrus els, Belgium, the winter to prcßtnt it to
him. The raffle ocourrcd, and tbe prise was won
by a gentleman from Baltimore, Ms M ,
who requested that Mi sM.C .il —, the in -
teresting young lady who was instrumental in
getting up the raffle, should present it in tho
name of those who had contributed- Miss II ,
approaching the e.v President Siid ;
‘Mr Davis-.ln tbo name and at the request
of tbe gentleman who won the pr r.e, and of those
ladies and gentlemen who contributed I present
you this token of our respect for you, the Presi
dent of the Confederate States. We only wish
we had something more worthy of your accept
ance, but, after looking around the table find
nothing more suitab'e, and. though small the
gift, we hope you will aceept it. We wish from
our hearts every blesssing tor yourself and
family. 1 '
In reply Mr. Davis said.
“I thank you and the ladies and gentlemen
for your kindness,, and wUI plaoe this with the
gold headed cane presented to me by Catholic
ladies of Norfolk, who held a fair for a charita

A Howling Preacher.
When Indiana was little more
than a wilderness, when gospel fire
was poured out in great abundance
and rhetorical figures commanded
a high premium aincmg youthful
preachers, Mr. Smythe was seloc*
ted to preach a Sunday sermon at
a campmeeting. The audience was
large, aud the occasion demanded
an extraordinary effort, Smythe
was just entering upon his theolo*
gilcal career, and the first steps
were ot the greatest importance.—
At an early hour Smythe took the
stand, and after the ustral prclimi*
naries, oponed as lollo’ws :
sisters, ladies and
gentlemen if I had the world for a
pulpit, the Btars lor an audience,
my head towering far Above the
loftiest clouds ’my arms swinging
throughout immensity, and my
tongue sending lorth the clarion
notes of a Gabriel, I’d set one foot
on Greenland’s icy mountains, and
the other on Lidia's coral strand,
and—and-I’d—.l’d—l’d howl like
a wolf.”

A True and Gallant Women.
A woman ir. Tenneatee informed
her husband, a few days before the
election there, that if he voted the
Mongrel ticket she would leave
him. He did so, and true to her
word, on the evening of election
day she moved to hor father’s house,
where her husband went after her.
Nothing daunted she ordered him
peremptortflly to leave her presence
as she would not live with him an
other day. Site declared to him'
that she held in utter contempt u.
| iiian who would -rote for a party li
that was seeking to drag herself
and her children down to tho de
gradation of negro equality. Glo
rious woman 1 Her virtue and
heroism are worthy of the sublims
est days of Spartan or Roman
courage. What, indeed, can bo
more repulsive to a true woman
than the simple thought that her
children should even be lamrliarizr
ed with the idea of equality with
an inferior race?.— New York

Plain Girls. —Everything has
been done that*cou!d be done to
persuade mankind that plain girls
are in rea'lty, by far the most at
tractive of the lot. The clever 1 an**
thoress of Jane Eyre’ nearly suc
ceeded in lae forlorn attempt for a
few yeare, and plain girls, with
volumes of intellect speaking
through tGeir deep eyes and from
their mas.-nve foreheads, seemed for
a while, on paper at least, to bo
carrying everything before them
The only difficulty was to get the
male sex to follow that in practice
what the so completely admired
in Miss Bronte’s three volume
novels. Unhappily, tbe male sox
being verj imperfect and frail,
could not be brought to do it.—
They recognized the beauty ol the
conception about plain girls, they
were very glad to see them married
off in sco. cs to heroic village doc
tors 1 and they quite readily admits
ted that c icasional young noblemen
might be infiction as
as becoming violently attached to
young creatures with inky fingers
and remarkable minds. But no
real change was brought about in
- rdinary lr’e. Man, sinful man.
