T 33 Angel’s Ladder.
(Written for the Monitor. J
If there were a ladder, mother,
Between the earth and ally,
As in ttie days of the Bible.
1 would bid you all good-bye;
And go through every county,
And search from town to town,
’Till I had found the ladder
with angels coming down.
Then I would wait quite softly
Beside the low est round,
Till the sweetest lookiug angel
Had stepped upon the ground,
I would pull her darling garment,
And speak out very plain,
Will you take me please to heaven,
When you go back again?
“Ah darling,” said the mother,
“You need not wander so
To find the golden ladder,
When, angels come and go,
Vi'herever gentle kindness
Oil pitying love abounds
There is the wondrous ladder
With at'gels on the rounds.’’ C. L. H.

Iler dimpled cheeks arc paie;
Ehc's a lily of the vale,
Not a rose.
In a muslin or a lawn
She is fairer than the dawn
T j her beaux.
Her boots are slim and neat-
Hhe is vain about her feet,
It is said;
She amputates her r’n
But her eyes are like the atartf
Overhead.
Or. a balcony at night,
With a fleecy cloud of white
Round her hair—
Her grace, ah! who could paint 1 *
She would fascinate a saint,
I declare.
Tis a matter of 1 egret
She's a hit of a coquette
Whom I sing;
On her cruel path she goes
With a half a dozen beaux
To her string.

Montgomery Matters
Ms. Vernon, April 27.—Montgom
ery Superior Court is in session, Judge
IvibbeO presiding. A large number of
people are iu attendance, lawyers,
clients and witnesses being on baud in
force. The grand jury is nn indus
trious body, with Mr. Matthew Sharpe
as foreinaO. Judge Kibbee nuuuuced
that he would hold two weeks, devot
ing the first week to civil and tho sec
ond to criminal busiuess. lie is dis
patching business with his usual en
ergy, holding court from 8 in the morn
ing uutil dark, With intermission for
dinner only. The Judge is fast ae
qiiriug a place in the popular heart.
Politics in old Montgomery are full
of lift) and energy, the principal topic
| being the choice of Congressman, and
j tve find btit one opinion here—this is
| Hon. Walter T. McArthur’s nativecouh
|ty ami present home, and nt» more
I popular or public-spirited citideu re
sides within her borders. Indeed, the
people of Montgomery county—a thor
oughly Democratic, though conserva
tive people—febl that they possess in
the persoii aud character (if Walter T.
McArthur, an eminently fit atiil pfoper
man to represent this district. He is
not only well qualified, btit he is the
people’s choice. There exists a deter
mined disposition to secure the just
aud meritorious claim of the counties
on the east side of Flint liver. It is
confidently predicted that McArthur
will bo nominated. —Macon Tclcier iph,
