LOROFELLOW’I RAINY DAY.
The dey Is cold and dark and drsary.
It rains and the wind le never weery;
The vine etlll dings to the mouldering wall,

The dey le dark and dreary. . ,
. lly life ie oold end dark and dreuy,
It raina and the wind la never weary;
My thoughta still ding to the mouldering past.
While the hopee of youth fall thick on the blast—
My ltfo Is dark and dreary,

Thy fate U the common fote of all,
Into' each life some rain must foil—
Some days musi'be dark and dretry.

The Young Wen or tho South,
From the Detroit Free Freee.
2 no who has visited the principle
a anil towns of Alabama, Georgia,
South and North Carolina, musthaye
a fair idea of what the young men
* giro doing. According to some north-
ern papers, they spend their time in
drinking, card playing, Horse racing,
anc! loafiDg. Let me say that in. At
lanta, Augusta, Macon,, Charleston,
Savannah, Montgomery, oto., the
number of young men in stores,
shops and law offices, is fnlly eqnal to
the number in any northern city yon
cab name, taking population into ac
count. In > four weeks trip in the
South I did not see one single yonng
man drank. I did not see a game of
'cards or horse race, I did not hear a
dispute. I found them everywhere—
I talked with hundreds—and in every
caSo I fon ml them studying law or
inedicine—keeping books—behind
Counters—out in the field with their
floats off. They not only work, bnt
they are ambitious.
The young men of the South are
not ouly dniiig fully as well os the
young men of the North, bnt in many
cases they are doing for better. I
found scores of .them making money
hand over hand by their own nnaided
efforts,anil scores more with bright
prospects ahead. He who asserts
that they shirk labor wrong them.
He who asserts that they drink or
gamble more than the same number
of yonng mep* of the North, is reck
less of facts. Thera may be black
■beep among them, but, taken as a
whole, they are genteel, conrtoQU,
hard workiug, and are anxious to se
cure places of high standing
It is said that formerly in one of
the remote mining settlements of
Wyoming n single copy of a religions
paper containing a t sermon by the
Rev. Mr. Talmage made its appear
ance weekly, and. that evey Saturday
evening the men of the community
diet to determine by a game of
"seven op” who should read the ser
mon in pnblio on the following day.
A young man was killed by light
ning while sitting alone under a tree
in New Orleans, La.,^hree or four
days ago, and it was some time before
any, mark could be found on his body
to establish the oanse of death. Fin
ally, after close scrutiny, the hair on
the left side of his head was fonnd to
be singed, and jnst below the hair
were two black dots like powder
| burns.
BY A COUNTRY PARSON.
“I never sa,«y snoh a pesky critter.
I tell yo she was sired in tophot. Look
at the brute!” Deacon Frink was in
bis backboard, and the gorrel mare
was having one of her taptrums. “If
a body gets belated and ipust go, she
won’t budge an inoh. It was the eve
ning of the fegular W|Wkly prayer
meeting at Freeville. The {deacon had
done'a hard day’s. planing, and was
later than usual. He. was one of the
stand-bys, always there, always ready
to take part And here the animal
stood, her ears laid back,, switoLing
her tail vioionsly, and lpoking ont of
the corners of her eyes wiokedly at
the deacon. j. , ,
“Josiah, does she want water?”
asked his wife from the doorway.—
She was ready to go with Him.
T wish she had the hoi) pond atop
of her,” shouted the hosbppd.
That was the third time that week
she bad had the damps, and the good
man was getting siok of it, She was
an excellent animal, strong and true,
and save these periods of unpleasant
ness, was an exceedingly valuable an-
imal. ' j
“Mdriab, human nature 'can’t bear
everything: the devil is iff this beast
and he’s got to come ont^.JThe dea
con got a long pole as thick as his
wrist and his wrist wa® , ‘^fr^, for he
was bnllt on an'ainple plab. It was
the small end of the hop^pOle, and he
got in behind the anindia!? 1 “Now, ye
yarihint get 'tip,” and tftS pole de-
descended. The, deacon bad been
long-suffering. He never hadstraok
the mare before, and she was pro
foundly astonished. Bnt he made
tborongh work now. He stood up,
and the pole came down with force.—
The mare at first braced herself, and
looked at the deacon. Then she be
gan to eirele about the yard, thread
ening every moment to wreok the ve
hicle. The good man was so fleshy
it was becoming violent exercise—a
sort of Indian dab movement in the
air. The deacon woald give a blow,
then a grunt, while the horse.ploDged
and jumped, perfectly frantic.
“Josiah Frink, what will folks say
of ye, a deacon of the church?”
screamed his wife.
“Say I’m an old fool to give up iny
horse,” yelled the pillar of the Free
ville church; “Til convert this mare
or translate her. Now get in, Mari-
riab, and we’ll go to meeting.”
After some remonstrance she got
in, and it is safe to say that no par
ties ever passed over that road in
quicker time. The mare flew, and
Mari ah hang to her hasband and
held her breath. The deacon sang
with unction tbat night—
“What various lilnilrancaB wa meet
In comlnf to to tho merer Mot.''

OoviagtosSter. , . . ,, :
We were shown on last Friday, by
Mr. James M. Levy, of Covington, a
beautiful miniature silver skil
let; which he had made for the pur
pose of sending to Stephens. The
bowl of the skillet was made of a
genuine silver half dollar, while the
handle and legs were made of
separate pieces. The workmanship
was perfect, and the amount of silver
in it was about one dollar. It was m
perfect specimen of the common skil
let, while the workmanship displayed
the touches of a skilltnl artist It
has been forwarded to the old Com
moner by mail, and we have no donbt
it will be duly appreciated by him.
