The following pathetic poem, says the Gal
axy, is probably out of plaeein our Club-room.
But then we have so much space:
THE XOSUON WIDOWER'S LAMENT.
And she is dead ! and she is dead!
My Multitudinous bride!
No more my weary bead may rest
Her many forms beside.
No more her sixty gentle bands
Shall fondly rest in mine;
No more orouud her thirty waists
My loving arm shall twine.
For she is dead; and from those eyes
Os black, and bine, and gray,
And various intermediate dyes,
The light has passed away.
And eighty little orphans’ tears
Are mingled with mine own,
And eighty hearts of tender yean
Are motherless and lone.
Ten fevers seised her all at onee,
And appoplexy too:
With corns, hysterics, and the mumps,
And dread tic douloureux.
A dozen doctors made her worse;
They physicked and they bled;
And though she lived with thirty lives,
No wonder she is dead !
But ere she died, in countless throng*
Her relatives drew nigh.
And waded through each others’ tears
To bid my love good-by,
Yet even then she thought es me.
And sought my grief to quell;
And summoned me beside her beds
To say a last farewelll.
“Good-by, dear John,” she feebly said;
"I’m going soon,” said she;
“But oh 1 don t marry widow Smith,
And oh ! don’t mourn for me.
For widow Smith is forty fold—
Too many, far, for you;
And she is artful, sly, and bold.
And quite designing, too.
“And, John, don’t leave your flannels off;
And don’t catch cold, my dear,
Don’t die of grief, but calmly live;
Your children need you here.
I shall not want you over there,
I’d rathei be alone;
I’ve had you here quite long enough;
You’ll stay away, my own!”
And then she closed her eyes in peace,
And tell a sleep and died;
And left me here to mourn her loss,
My ten times triple bride.
I know I ought to bo resigned—
I know my tears are rude;
But when one’s loss is thirty fold
He can’t feel /orfitude.
Oh, Mary Anne and so forth Jonca,
Thou wert a model wife!
Thy virtues, like thyself, were too,
Too many for this life.
There’s no one now to mend my shirts,
Or hear each infant’s cry;
I sew my buttons on alone,
And sing the lnllaby.
I’ll have to marry widow Smith;
I can’t get on alone;
The children need a mother’s care—
You don’t know how they’va grown! >
You left me for a better world,
Your souls are free from palm
I must relieve my own despair,
And try my luck again.
F. W. Clark*.

The Last of the Seminole*
The Seminoles were supposed to
be entirely driven out of Florida as
the result of that most famous of our
struggles with the aborigines, known
as the Florida Indian War, which
cost us years of military
hundreds of millions of doUiatk in
money, a vast amount of corruption,
extravagance and army demoraliza
tion. When we had picked up the
majority of the brave Seminolesvaoe
by one, a plan was devised aod car
ried out successfully, of bufitw up
the consent of the remaining Indians
to removal to lhe Indian Territory
at the West. Two bands, those: pf
Billy Bowlegs and Sam Jones, were
supposed to be all that remained,
and they were negotiated with.
Bowlegs and hia followers were
bought up at from S4OG to SI,OOO
a head, and removed. Sam Jones,
who was 120 years old, declined at
first, to sell himself, his birthri
and his people, declaring thrit One
hundred cartloads of gold would not
tempt him to forsake his familiqr
haunts; but he finally yielded, and
the round sum of $50,009 carried
him, and what was supposed to be
the last remnant'of Seminoles, fVrifn
Florida to the West.
But there are those who still lin*
gered in the Everglades. They took
refuge in the swamps of the lower
Eortion of the peninsula, where-they
ave since remained—some, three
hundred in number—-in entire seclu
sion, no whites, excepting one e*r
two Methodist missionaries, btHtffc

traits of character; in personal ap
pearance, coming up to the old type
of the red man, of which the Semi
holes are good specimens. In pur
suit of a more salubrious residence
and better hunting ground, they are
moving southward, from which fact
au inference is drawn that the tow»f
portion of Florida is gradually ris
ing and becoming more capable of
haman habitation.
An enterprising editor has started
a paper in the Fiji Islands. Sensa
tional paragraphists are looking for
ward to his early talking ofT so as
to make a brilliant tale headed
“Eating an Editor.”
In Galveston, Texas, there are
three newspaper men named Jones
who are constantly getting into
Uouble on each other’s account.
Week before last one of them was
assaulted in the street for wiitiug an
abusive article he had never seen.
And, a few days before, the wrong
Jones was accused of deserting
his second wife, though he had
never been married. The three
Joneses threaten after the Milesian
fashion, to exterminate each other
to establish their identity.
A few days ago the agent of an
accident insurance company entered
a smoking car on a Western rail
road, and approaching an exceed?
ingly gruff old man, asked him if he
did not want to take out a policy.
He was told to get out with his poli
cy, and passed on. Afldr ridihgf a
bouthalfan hour an accident oc
curred to the train, and the smoking
car ran over the sleepers, causing
much consternation among the pas
sengers. The old man jumped up;
and seizing a hook at the side of the
car, cried, “Where is that insurance
man ?” The question caused a roar
of laughter among the passengers,
who for a time forgot their danger.
As the Israelites were forbidden
to have any God, except Jehovah,
who brought them out of the land of
Egypt, so Christians must not seek
for happiness ia any but Him, in
whom they stand indebted for re
demption from eternal death, and
sanctification to eternal life. This
first commandment then, is a warn-:
ing not only against open infidelity,
but also, against the more Subtle a
postacy, which would substitute an
other notion of God for the Jehovah
of the Bible, Father, Son, and Holy
Ghost, the Holy Trinity ia the ado
rable Unity.

From the Bicbraoud Enquirer.
Political Self-Righteousness.
There are a class of men who are al
ways too good to co-operate in any prac
tical! movement. Their occupation and
position in life ia «nch that they are not
forced to an active decision, nnd they
accordingly indulge that disposition to
Pbariseeism which is so powerful in
some natures; or there is a cold and
selfish calculation that others, and not
.they, shall incur the odium which is to
attach to certain necessary measures.
We have.no patience with these people.
They deliberately throw upon others
disagreeable work which they want done,
and then pretend that it is discreditable
to do it. We say prelend, for we have
no manner of .confidence in their sinceri
ty. It is sheer hypocrisy.
These philosophers always manage to
be “better” than other people. As South
ern politicians they are always “sound
er” than everybody else. They are too
dainty t? mingle in the work of South
ern reconstruction—‘*Oh, no! never!
never I” They would die first—so they
say. Bat they know that somebody has
-got to do it* and they think they caa do
bottccti)y preserving their records. They
have aspirations; they look forward (af
ter things have settled down) to the
time when the coast will be clear for
them to rnn for some office; aad (the
Yankees being out of the way then)
they expect to tell the Southern people
how badly they have been treated, and
they preserved their integrity! This is
the very acme of meanness. We all
know that we have been shamefully
treated; we all know that we have been
moitified and humiliated in every form;
we all know that we have had to ask for
the pardon of Andrew Johnson ; to ao-
Cept negro suffrage; to vote (here iu
Virgiuia) for the Underwood constitu
tion; to sit on the same platform and in
the same legislative hall with Thomas
Bayne and Joe Cox ; to humor Yankee
officials ; to be on onr good behavior gen
erally ; we know all these things ; and
the man who dares to charge us with a
forfeiture of our self-respect is almost
certainly either a man who has no polit
ical responsibilities—who can afford to
stand.off an£ ittorwliKe and mock ;or a
man who, excluded at present from pub
lic life, is saving his record,
We bavq not forfeited our self respect.
When the Enquirer counsels iu that di
rection, may we lose all the respect of
the community. There is no dishonor,
after »full trial of strength, in submit
ting to physical [force. The conquered
may often be mortified, but they are nev
er degraded, by surrendering their arms
to the eoriquerots. We fought as long
an we could fight, and it has never oc
curred, to anybody to call us cowards.
By superior force they have dismember
ed “the State of Virginia; by superior
force they imp6sed upon us the iron rule
-of Terry amd'Ganby; by srqierior force
they represented the sovereignty of the
State m yonder Capitol by a motley
crew of carpet-baggers, soalawaga and
negroes ; by force they compelled us to
receive the Uudefwood constitution; by
force they b»vo cut our count!ee np into
township*, and trampled out all that was
traditional in the Statp by force they
superintend our elections, and arrest and
punish our commissioners of election;
by Wrce they have incorporated in the
Genstitnfion the 13, 14th and 15th a
mendments; by force they,h*ve given
us the Ku Klnx bill. If we eould have
it these things would not have
been done. Is there any taint of dii
honor attaching to ns because we were
helflcnsl Ought we to have died! Onr
critic* stilllive.
Was Austria degraded when she sub
mitted'to the superior force of Prussia!
Was she wise, or was it cowardly, to
shuity np a peace after Sadowa? Nations
do not court destruction. And if any

Weston's Walk.
FOUR HUNDRED MILES IN LESS THAN
FIVE DAYS.
At 11:47, last evening, Weston
completed die last round of hi* four
hundredth mile, and was enthusias
tically cheered by the great con>
coarse of people that had assembled
to witness the completion of this ex
traordinary exhibition of human'en
durance. Weston started on his
tilth day’s walk at 4:43 A. M., hav
ing slept a little more than lour
hours. He had then just eighty
miles to walk, twenty qf which he
finished at 10:5 A. M., when he stop
ped for breakfast, and also took a
short rest, in all occupying abodt 20
minutes. At 10:25 A. M., he stirt
ed again, and did not make another
rest until he had completed 50 mites,
which he made in ten hours andi fif
ty-three minutes. This was at 2:17
P. RI. He then took a hearty ship
per, and exchanged the velvet suit,
in which be had so long walked, for
silk lights, with ornamented tunic.
During the last five miles, both
Weston and the audience were' a
roused to an intense state of excite
ment; the latter cheering almost
continually, and the former winning
applause by walking backwards,
running, jumping and performing
many playful tricks in order to dem
onstrate the large amount of physi
cal force be yet held in reserve. The
Rink is one-seventh of a mile in cir
cumference and during the 396th
mile he made this distance, walking
backward, in 3 minutes and 30 sec
onds. The last five miles wpre
made at the following rates : 396th
in 13 min. 40 sec.; 397th in 13 rrfm.
40 sec.; 39Sth in 12 min. 66 sec.;
399th in 12 min. 45 sec.; and 400th
in 11 miu. 7 sec.
At the conclusion of the last tound
he had 18 minutes to spare; and as
he turned to the assembly, .his
glowing with success, he was seized
by two men, who, placing him pn
their shoulders, ran with him round
the place over which he had walked
2,800 limes. When brought back
to this dressing-room the crowd gath
ered round him, and Prof. DorertWs,
who had acted aa his medical advi
ser, having succeeded in quietifag
the uproar, said that the feat, which
they had seen thus successfully coni'*
pleted, was of immense importance
to the scientific world, ana in the
name of science he thanked h|r.
Weston for this practical trial of en
durance, more severe than anything
that had happened from the time of
Adam to the present day.
It was also a temperance sermoft,
preached in an all-powerful man nek;
for if what is ordinarily known as
stimulus had been used, the lait
would never have been accomplish
ed. In response to loud calls, Ms.
Weston said that from the appear
ance of bis person, as his lrfends
were carrying him around, they
might think that he was tiipd,,anp
not able to make a speech, but ip
that they were mistaken. In the ate,
complishmenl of this undertaking he
felt that the praise was tfae to Amer
ica for its inspiration, more than tb
himself; and to God more Yfatfh
all, who had given him strength.
