THE ROMANCE OF THE TljieV. '
AN’ ORIGINAL P )FM.
Fur the Georgia IleraU.]
Ah ! to win woman’s favTing stnile and
glance.
None now will couch the spear or fihitTt
lance,
And like maihclad knights by brave ac*
tiorifl prove
Their rightful claim to woman's heart and
1 we.
Sir Knight of love now has a harder task
Than to buckle on armor, sword, or casque,
And on listed field martial degd perform.
As in his bosom glows love, fierce and Warm,
See him Pegasus mount, that steed of vore.
With ardent zeal the Muso's haunts to eis
p’ore.
What curvetting;* of thought! what toil of
brain !
In the task he undergoes—oft in rain—
That he may cull poetic tribute meet,
To lay in homage at fair lady's feet.
llow many times he the fierce guantlet runs
OI those pointed spears—-pesky tradesmen's
duns,
That he miy with fine suit his form encase
And conquer lus way to the loved one's
grace.
Ilow many days of penance will lie pass
In arts of toilette, still before the glass,
To give his w-jll uiled hair the graceful
curl,
And to moustache impart a fiercer twirl,
To poise his cane, to tie on his cravat
To languish his eye, tilt his glossy hat,
That he may be, with grace in motion blent,
From boot to hat, love’s star of tournament.
With what fervent warmth his devoirs he
pa^S
To the female throng, as on sabbath days
With stately bearing he treads the church's
aisle
And seeks to gain bflght beauty’s blissful
smile;
Or devoted escort will nightly go
To route, to plays, to ball of other show.
The present age no vestige may retain
Os tournament sung in troubadour’s strain;
ft still exults in sports of noblest kind*
In trials of wit, the Contests of mind.
See where yon Ilall of Justice proudly
stands,
And to forensic srife its li3ts expands,
Behold! the Knights of the Green Bag
convene,
All worshipful in wit, merit and mien:
Some tall, some spare, and some as Falstaff
r Hind,
Some learned, and some in strategy
abound ;
Some lately dubbed in Law, young cava
liers.
Who jostle bravely ’mong their fogy peers,
And long for occasioC them to afford
A chance in suit, “to flesh the‘if maiden
sword.”
Full-arm’tZ with codes of Chitty pnd
Blackstone,
And weapons all, to legal warfare known,
See them in sqUads, or two's parade the
scene
Incased in suits of cloth of glossy sheen.
The voice of Sheriff rings upon the air,
And bids champions for the lists prepare—
Those who wish in legal t?lt spegr to break,
To come itrtc Coftft—and their places take.
Then strike on the ear with ominous sound,
And fill with gaping atfe th£ Crowd ground,
Rustling of papers, clattering of tongues
The op’ning of books, and clearing of lungs
A pause forjudge as warder to decide
The champions to plead—case to be tried.
jnow their devoirs as knights of old they
pay.
Not to ranks of beauty in proud array,
Unless Astrea is deemed to preside
O’er the scene, in grave Judge personified ;
For smiles of the Fair, “fat fees” as their
meed,
Inspires them to perform the doughty deed.
The signal given—the onset is begun—
Each champion gauntlet afltefnate run.
The trenchant argument they briskly wield,
The weaker points now with sophistry
shield.
Now with-couched law th3y eeek foe to
press,
And now they turn his Honor to address ;
Now they scan their client’s face,
And then return with fresh zeal to the case ;
N'iw’ they swell their voice to loudest strain,
To give antagonist thß coup de main ;
Until from sheer exhaustion forced to yield,
To Judge and Jury they leave the field.
0 Greece! it may’ve been glorious to see
In gymnastic gauves, thy braYC Afhletae
With muscular limbs, and deftly train’d
bands
Contend for the palm on Olympic sands ;
o : Chivalry T it may have thrilled to behold
Thy knights in armor all-gteaniing with
gold,
Oh careering steeds to combat advance,
And in tiie fierce joust shiver the strong
lance;
llow nobler are the feats of mental might,
With which thisa*6n of mindgrfeet* the
sight,-
When stately C ,as armed cap-a.^pie
In all of Law’s defensive panoply,
Is s en to cope in legal strife with foe,
With logic’s strong mace deal gigantic blow,
Or on imagination’s wing car* er.
And sweep iD gallant tilt forensic sphere ;
Or when S the field of debate essays
And potent skill in argument displays,
Or with humor blithe or sarcastic tongue,
Excites at w ill to mirth the list’ning throng.
If \Vith the past not worthy to enroll
There is in these feats, the thought to con
sole,
No stout limbs are cloven, no skulls are
crashed -**■
Tho’ justice may be stay’d indictments
quashed ;
No blood is spilt, no bodies hewed and
blent—
Tho’ well*lined purses oft with gaps are
rent.
At close; when Sheriff shall make the doll
call,
There is found, there’s only betm-after all,
A ranting of voice, A clashing of tongues
A grating of eiirs, a puffing of lungs.

A STATESMAN’S COMPARISON OF
TIIE TWO NAFOLEONS.
The ed tion of the collected politi
cal pamphlets of M. de Cormenin,
who obtained considerable celebrity
during the time of Lotlis Philippe,
and at the commencement of the pre
sent reign, under the pseudonym of
“Timon,” contains the following cu
rious comparison between the two
Napoleons, I and III: “The nep! e.v
( o s not resemble the uncle, either
physically or morally. The latter
was abrupt to his auditors, and faci
nated them by his eagle glance to
such a point as to disturb and con
fuse them. The other listens gra
ciously, and is as phlegmatic as his
uncle was impetuous. All those
aroud the uncle colud read the dramas
which were passing act by act in the
hero’s brain. The nephew does not
allow’ his intentions to be devided,
and takes a pleasure in concealing
his thoughts under his impassable
features. The nephew would not
have gained the great battle of Aus
terlitz, would not have hurried like
lightning from one point to another
in the last campaign of France, and
in the first of Italy would not have
pronouced those memorable sayings
become historical; at the pyramids,
at Jena and at Fontainbleau would
not with a strong hand, have method
ically reorganised the municipalities
of the conquered towns impoverished
kingdoms, and gained fifty five vic
tories in fifty-seven battles. But on
the other hand, the uncle would not
have planned the coup d' ctat of De
cember, wdth impenetrable secrecy, a
firmness of hand, and a vigor of reso»
lution that have no parrallel in histo
ry. The nephew may be reproached,
like the uncle,- with more than one
caprice of imagination ; like those of
Strausburg, Boulogne, Sebastopol,
China, Cochinchina and Mexico. But
the blame is to be attributed less to a
spirit of adventure than to the fault
of the people, who should have pre
f.erved their veto oter expeditions of
that kind But what the uncle would
pefhaps not have done the nephew
proposed unasked to the station ;
fcamely universal and secret suffrage,
and a bill of imdemnity for his illegal
act. And of all the Princes who
have reigned over Franc \ he has,
without excepting Henry IV., most
loved the people and done the most
for them \ and I regret but one thi ig,
which is, that being born with the
grave and patient spirit of a Wash
ington, he did not prefer liberty to
absolutism* and tie scarf of a decen
ial President, open to election, to the
hereditary scepter of an Emperor.”

An Important Revenue Decision —
The Law Concerning Parents and
Minor Children. —The Commissioner
of Internal Revenue decides that
when a minor is so emancipated as to
cut off* his parent’s legal right to de
mand and receive his child’s earn
ings as his own, the parent should
not be required to return t iem‘. He
instructs that upon this
point they should not adhere to the
strict rule of evidence by which no
contract of emancipation is presumed,
and which ordinarily requires the
evidence of an ex*press contract, but
should give the law and the rules of
evidence a liberal construction, and
should presume that when a parent
allows his minor child to retaian his
wages and appropriate thirn to his
own use, it is done in pur-'U mce of
such an agreoment as binds the pa*
rent and emancipates the child.

ORIGIN OF RAILWAY.
The first steam wagon that we have !
any authentic knowledge of, was uns
intentionally started off* in the world
one dark night in the year 1781. A
man named Murdoch, of lledW h,
in Cornwall, England, was experi
menting with a machine of his own
invention, when it took a notion to
run off in the dtrkness along a lone
ly lane where a clergyman had gone
to have a quiet walk. The parson
suddenly heard a most unearthly
noise, and to his horror beheld ap
proaching him, what appeared to lie
something like the devil. He tried
to run but his iegs wen* down, and
so he cried for help. However, the
good man’s fright was dispelled by
the arrival of Murdoch in persuil of
the runaway machine, who satisfac
torily explained to him the mystery
of the “Evil One” on earth.
This reminds us of the countryman
somewhere up the Hudson river when
he saw the first steamboat passing,
lie ran home and told his wife to
come and look at the devil £oing to
Albany on an old saw mill
The Quarterly Review as late ns
1g23 took son e pains to show that
steam wagons were an useless invert
tion. It then said :
“As to those tVho speculate on
roadways generally throughout Eng
land and superseding all the canals,
all the wrgons, mails, and stage
coaches, post chaises, and, in short,
every other mode of conveyance, by
land and by water, we deem them
and their visionary schemes unwor
thy of notice. Every particular ob
ject must stand or fall by its own
merits; and we are greatly mistaken
if many Os those which are already
announced will not, when weighed in
the balance, l be found wanting. The
gross exaggeration of the locomotive
steam engine may delude for a while,
but must end in the mortification of
those concerned.’'
And in the following 85 years,
some 9,000 miles of railway at a ccs
of $15,000,000, were constructed and
put in operation in England.
The first American railway of any
great length, was from Charleston
Bouth Carolina, to Augusta; Georgia
—lB5 miles' —commenced in 1880,
and finished at the cost of $1,326,615,
in 1888.
Meanwhile, (in 1830) the “Hudson
and Mohawk Railway,” from Albany
to Schenectady, was constructed and
put in operation —and in October,
1831, it carried nearly TOO passengers
a day.
The first locomotke ever seen in
America, was imported from Steph
ensons engine factory at Newcastle
upon-Tyne, in 1829, and exhibited
as a great wonder to the people ol
New York. — Rail Wag News.
RAILROAD GUIDES.
The New York Official Railway
News says of the recent meeting of
General Ticket Agents in that city :
The proceedings were unusually
harmonious, and very litt'e opposition
was offered to the sweeping resolu
tion derogatory to all railway guides
, except Vernon’s. Mr. Vernon is a
railroad man, and his official guide is
now the on y publics t on of that class
to be recognized in any manner by
the majority of the members of the
association. Mr. Thomas, the editor
of Appletb’n’s Guide j- could not avert
the impending doc'ra of his old estab
lished institution. He circulated
among the members nervously and
freelj” while Mr. Vernon remained
at his office in Philadelphia—but
henceforth Appleton-is nowhere.
Now, then, wc shall have an open
fight. Aprleton is rich, and has in
fluence to control “the trade.” The
railways are powerful, and some
$50,000 were subscribed on the spot
to back up Vernon and carry on his j
publication, with the promise of half
a million more, if needs must be, to
take him safely through.”
During the month of March,
34,382 passengers were carried over
the Lonisville and Nashville road
and branches, of whom 1,941, went
from Nashville to Louisville.
The emigrants from Ireland
to the United States, by way of Cork,
is reported to be very active this
spring, and, it is asserted, will be as
in the famine year. In the first week ,
of April at least sixteen hundred j
emigrants, of the agricultural class,
embarked on the four steamers which
called at Cork. The coercion act has
given an impetus to the movement
westward.

and in order to get it saws the limb
oft'between himself and the tree —a

About Climbing Vines. —Perhaps
my reader has seen a hopvine, climb

thus clitllbing up into the air and sun
shine. Which way do they wind
around the pole ? And does every
hopvine wind the same way ? *\Vhy
should they not wind promiscuously,
sometimes turning one way, and some
times the other, as it happens? How
do they know which way they should
turn in climbing? And has the read
er seen a bean climbing up a pole?
and can lie tell us which way around
the pole it turns ? Is it the Same way
with the hop? Why does the hop
turn enc \tay, and the bean the other ?
What causes the difference? And
and >es every bean turn the same way ?
And the morning glory, does it agree
with the 1 op, or the bean t And is
it always uniform like them ? Is there
any twining plant which climbs up
by turning promiscuously, sometimes
one way, and sometimes the other ?
Beans hate eyes,- and perhaps may
see the way they ought to go; but
how about the hop ? \\ ho teaches it
the wav its forefarthers trod ever
since the day of creation ? It has
never seen its predecessors ; they
perished the season before its birth.
And why does the morning-glory
open its eyes in the early morn, yet
close them in slumber long before
night? Who will crack these nuts
and give lis the kernel of knowlcd
they contain? —Tof Carthage in

New Milch Cows. —The spring is
the time when a large portion of cows
drop their Calves, and tha time, there
fore, when special attention should
be paid to them. Even when kept
with excellent ertre through the win

arrives, difliiculties will occasionally
arise that require both care and skill
Sometimes the udder becomes great
ly enlarged by a superabundance of
milk, which, if not taken away, is
qui‘e likely to break and destroy it,
and greatly distress the cow. The
popular belief is that no milk should
be tuken away in such cases. But it
is an erroneous one. At any ia‘e,
the danger must be less than that of
a broken udder. If the udder is
hard, aud no milk can be drawn from
it, it should be bathed in warm wat
er, warm soapsuds, together with a
great deal of gentle friction by the
hand. If the milking, bathing and
frieth n do not succeed, mb' the udder
with a liniment made of sweet oil and
ammonia, or simple lard, or fresh
bu ter. In such cases the condition
of the bowels must laxative. All
cows should have entire liberty fora
week or two previous to calving —

twelve feet square iu the bain. Af
ter dropping the calf the cow should
have a drink of shorts and warm wat
er once each day, for two or three
days, in addition to her usual food.
