A REMARKABLE POEM.
_ ■
From the throne of life eternal,
From the home of love supernal,
Where the angel feet make music over all
the starry floor—
Mortals, I have come to meet you,
Come with words of peace to greet you,
And to tell you of the glory that is mine
for ever more.
Once before I found a mortal
Waiting at the heavenly portal—
Waiting but to catch some echo from that
ever opening door;
Then I seized his quickened being,
And through all his inward seeing,
Caused my burning inspiration in a fiery
flood to pour!
Now I come more meekly human,
And the weak lips of a woman
Touch with fire from off the altar, not w ith
burnings as of yore ;
But in holy love descending,
With her chastened being blending,
I would fill your souls with music from the
bright celestial shore.
As one heart yearns for another,
Asa child turns to its mother,
From the golden gates of glory turn I to tiie
earth once more,
Where I drained the cup of sadness,
Where mv soul was stung to madness,
And life’s bitter, burning billows swept my
burdened spirit o’er.
Here the harpies and the ravens,
Human vampires—sordid cravens,
Preyed upon my soul and substance till I
writhed in anguish sore;
Life and I then seemed mismated,
For 1 felt accursed and fated,
Like a restless, wrathful spirit, wandering
on the Stygian shore.
Tortured by a nameless yearning,
Like a frost-fire, freezing, burning,
Did the purple, pulsing life-tide through its
fevered channels pour,
Till the golden bowl—life’s token—
Into shining shreds was broken,
And my chained and chafing spirit leaped
from out its prison door.
But while living, striving, dying,
Never did my soui cease crying :
“Ye who guide the fates and furies, give!
oh ! give me, I implore,
From the myriad hosts of nations—
From the countless constellations —
One pure spirit that can love me—one tiiat
I, too, can adore!”
Through this fervent aspiration
Found my fainting soul salvation,
For from out its blackened tire-crypts did
my quickening spirit soar;
And my beautiful ideal —
Not too faintly to be real —
Burst more brightly on Wiy vision than the
fancy-formed Lfronore!
’Mid the surging seas she found the,
With the billows breaking round me,
And my saddened, sinking spirit in her arms
of love upbore;
Like a lone one, weak and weary,
Wandering in the midnight dreary,
On her sinless, saintly bosom brought me to
the heavenly shore.
Like the breath of blossoms blending,
Like the prayers of saints ascending.
Like the rainbow’s seven-liued glory, blend
our souls for ever more !
Earthly love and last enslaved me,
But divinest love bath saved me,
And I know now. first and only, how to love
and to adore.
Oh ! my mortal friends and brothers,
We are each and all another’s,
And the soul that gives most freely from its
treasure hath the more.
Would you lose your life, you find it;
And in giving love, you bind it,
Like an amulet of safety in your heart for
ever more!

NEWSPAPER MORTALITY.
ITS CAUSE.
■
At the late annual Convention of the
Press of Tcoocsscc, held at Chattanooga,
Teun., on November 28th, Ira P. Jones,
Esq., of the Nashville Union and Ameri
can, delivered an address which was
mainly devoted to the causes of the
great mortality among newspapers.
Of the position of the Press the elo
quent gentleman says:
Some time past it was held in other
countries as the “Fourth Estate.” In
this republic it is now held as the first, j
In those the king, the clergy and the j
bar preceded—in this the Press precedes. [
Whether rightfully or wrongfully, it
does rank first.
He then proceeds to show from slatis
*ics that during the year 1871 one thou
sand newspapers died—whether from
fruity management or the waut of pa
f rouage is not stated ; but the faot stands
that one thousand newspapers, many of
them with a fair capital and able stuff
in all departments, were compelled to
suspend publication.
Mr. Jones gave it ash's opiuion that
the mortality in 1872 would be fuliv as
great if not greater.
We give in his own language his no
t’on of the greatest cause for this mor
tality. He says:
We establish an eleemosynary institu
tion at our own expense. Wo keep a
charity school on our own hook. We
conduct business as if we owe every
thing to the public, and the public ate
not indebted to us a far.king. We
preved upou by sharpera and the inno
cents alike. We advertise gratuitously
every week, when we should have the
mo t v for it. The geeer; l public a;e
end e'y igno'ant—p obably we our
selves are not fully aware of the extent
to which newspapers n-e burdened by
this iiuid : ous dra'n uyou tlie'r resource. I ’.
It insinuates i. ;e!f u every coaeeivaVe
form. It does it through reporters,
! lirough agents, through correspondents,
through editors, through business mamt
r -T's, t hrough proprietors, and generally
100 wilh as much disadvaulage to the
public as to the press. There is not a
business, from the dispenser of ginger
cakes and cider to (be la gest manufac
tory, which will not advertise with you
gratis—which "siil, if you listen to it,
endeavor to convince you that it is your
duty to the public to do so.
There is not an aspirant for public
station—and when I contemplate the
numbers of these, I experience an over
whelming sense of commingled amaze
ment and disgust—from constable to
the Senate of the Uulon, who does not
conscientiously believe it to be the im
perative duty of the press, daily and
weekly, to speak, vrith a pen of telesco- !
pic power, of his microscopic deserving*.
Even that army of stiollers,which iufest
the country and people as a sort of visi- |
laliou of Providence foF our iniqui'ies,
from the street corner seller of p.ize
candy or magic oil to the operatic cm- !
p.esc.rio, will expect you to write an
iadciiiiile number of editorials on a
three square advertisement inserted fo;
five days, changeable daily, wiihoui
charge ! We are jcqu'rcd to write up,
urge up, and put through evc.y eulcr
prhse. great or small, that seems to have
a possible connection with the public. ;
But we never hear of a share of stock,
or of a dividend. The Church, the
Stale, Commerce, Industry, Art, Inven
tion and Humbug alike seem to regard
the press as their servitors, and to he
run aud sustained for their advantage.
True happiness is of a retired nature,
and an eDemy to pomp and Doises ; it
arises, iu the first place, from the enjoy
ment of one’s self, and in the next, from
the friendship and conversation of a few
select companions. False happiness ren
ders men stern and proud, and the hap
piness is Dover communicated. True
happiness renders them kind and sen
sible, and that happiness is always
shared.

Pei*per—A California Story of a
Telegraph Operator.
The following story originated, we
believe, with ti.t San Francisco Post.
We give it in the words of the Califor
nia writer:
“Many amusing stories have been
told of the festive freaks ef telegraph
operators who, whenever afforded an
opportunity for the display of their
penchant for a good joke, rarely fail to
improve it. Almost everybody has
heard of the operator in an eastern city,
who, on a hot summer day, desiring to
borrow a chew of tobacco from one of his
fel'ows in the same room, insicad of
making known his request by word of
mouth, chose what he deemed the least
exausling measure of iuditiug a dispatch,
which,traveling over a circuit of upwards
of a thousand miles, in about two tnin
ntes, reached the identical office whence
it started, much to the snprise of the
other chap, who blandly shied his to
bacco box at the head of the irrepres
sible jokist.
“It often happens that telegraphers
aje called into service at the represen
tation of a stage play, in which occurs
what is known as a ‘telegraph scene,’
such as the show iu Byron’s‘Across the
Continent,’or BoucicaultVLongStrike,’
and it is then that the operator behind
the scenes manages to amuse himself by
‘talking’ to the ‘fraternity’ in the audi
ence, unknown, of course, to most of
those present, who find no meaning in
the click of the instrument.
“As au evidence that the operators of
our city are not behindhand in the mat
ter of having their fun, the following is
related of Jim , a well-knowu at
tache of the Western Union :
“During the theatrical season of last
year the drama of ‘The Long Strike,’
was pronounced at oho of our theatres,
and for the manipulation of the telgraph
instrument, which plays an important
part in the most important act of the
play, Jim was engaged.
“His position was such that he sould
see the audience without being seen, aud
when, upon taking his position, discover
ing in the auditorium a brother opera
tor from Memphis, by name Pepper—
who had that day arrived in town —he
determined to have a little sport on his
own accouut.
“Accordingly, when the time came
for the sending of the first dispatch,
Jim loudly sounded on his machine the
words, “How are you, Pepper ?”
“The quick professional ear of Pep
per caught the words instantly, and
wondering “who the duce it was,”
straightened up and stared at the stage
as if he would have given two dollars
and a half to konw something more.
“Pepper, how’s your mother ?” came
from the instrument, and Pepper,
thoroughly mystified, turned coufident-

ly to his fair partner to express his utter
astonishment at tho most singular cir
cumstance.
“As luck would, have it the audito
rium held quite a delegation of tel
graphers, who, by this time, saw that
Jim was up to one of his old trick*, and
with one accord they began to look
about the theatre for “Pepper.”
“Jim saw the effect of bis experiment,
aud enjoyed himself hugely.
“Pepper hadn’t got through telling
his girl all about it when there came
another message.
“That won’t do, old Pepper; I know
you well, and you ’ladn’t better befool
ing that confiding creature with any soft
nonsense.”
“This roused the telegraph boys to
the very pitch of curiosity, and many of
them stood up, gazing longingly about
them as if their only o’ject in life was
to discover Pepper.
“Pepper felt that they knew him,
and the confusion which had been grad
ually covering his handsome features
grew into mortification when he saw so
many eyes evidently leveled at him, and
at last culminated in his withdrawal
from the theatre But Jim was bound
to give him a parting shot, and as be
faded from view he heard borne to bis
ears, ‘Good bye, Pepper. Put your
trust iu Provideuee, but keep your
powder dry.’
“Those who appreciated the affair
were much amused, and so, indeed, was
the victim himself, when on the follow
ing day he learned who bad so neatly
captured him.”

The Savannah News says that S.
Adams Lee, the biggest humbug that
ever allowed his middle name to pro

ship in a female college in Paris, Texas.
He is a penitentiary convict, and about
three months ago was in jail in Calhoun
county for stealing.
Dr. Kaine, the Globular man, of the
St. Louis Globe , says that “one of the
reporters of the St. Louis Times has had
the small-pox, and now his boarding
house keepors uses his cheek for a nut

Times says that “no kind of small-pox
that has yet been invented would ever
make a nutmeg grater of Kaine’s cheek.’
The New York Tribune, in its obituary
of Mr. Greeley, commends his memory
“to the slaves whose backs he saved
from the lash.” They are the only peo*
pie in the country who do not join in
regret at his death. Under the teach
ings of their peculiar friends, the
carpet-baggers and scalawags, they were
taught to look upon him as an enemy,
who desired and intended their re-en
slavement. Mr. Greeley lived long
enough to learn how much time he had
wasted upon au ignorant and ungrate
ful race.
