Poetry.
(Jo mete the South.
BV JUDGE A. U. MEEK.
‘Oh, come to the South, sweet, beautiful one;
'Tis the clime of the heart, 'tie the shrino of
the sun:
Whore the sky ever shines with a passionate
glow,
Aad flowers spread their treasuros of crimson
snow
Where the breeze o’er bright waters wafts
incense along,
.And gay birdsare glancing in beauty and song.
Where Summer smiles over on mountain and
plain,
.And tho best gifts of Eden unshadowed remain.
Oh, come to the South,
The shrine of tho sun,
And dwell in its bowers,
Sweat, beautiful one.
<Oh, ooino to tho South, and I’ll buil .1 dhoo a
home
Where winter shall never intrusively come;
"Tho queen-like catalpo, the myrtle and pine,
Tho gold fruited orange, the ruby-gemed vine,
Shall bloom round thy dwelling, and shade
thee at noon,
While birds of all music keep amorous tune;
By the gush of glad fountains we’dl rest us at
eve.
"No troubles to vex us, no sorrows to .grieve.
Oh, come to tho South, ’tis the homo of the
heart—
Wo sky like its own can (loop passions impart,
‘The glow of the summer is felt in the soul.
And love koepoth ever lvs tervent control;
■Oh, here would thy henuty most brilliantly
beam.
And life pass inviv like some elegant dream;
.Each wish of thy heart realized l>e.
And this beautiful land seetu ns Edoa tothoe.
Then comedo the South,
The shrine of tho sun,
And dwell in its bowers,
Sweet, beautiful oue.
Brown Hands.
Full many a. page bus been written,
Auu the gifted have sung, in the praise
Of lilly-white hands and lingers,
la a score of poetical ways;
This is all very well for a lady
Who lives among diamonds and silk.
l!ut sometimes in life a farmer's wife
obliged to do housework and milk.
Aud worn id’s lies', mission tbrou’out our dear
laud
Is fulfilled in die strength of tho little brown
band, j
When the roses are blushing tho sweetest,
Aud l-’.iu vines climb up to the eaves-
When the robins are rocking their birdies
To sleep ’ujong toe maple leaves.
The sunshine smiles down ’oruss the thicsn
hold,
When the labor of love stems but rest,
NVhetbei rocking the household birdies
Orkeepi g the dear home-nest—
Oh! I pity you a 1 who can’t understand
The wealth and the woitu oi a little brown
hand.
If I were a man with a fortune,
A million laid by on the shelf
]f 1 were ayouth-if I wasn’t in truth,
If I was ’t a woman myself,'
1 know what i’d do in a aaitmto
'White lingers bavo often misled)
I'd serk after those whose rich tinting shows
Acquaintance with puddings and bread;
I'd use all theeloquence words could command
Aud be proud might I win a little brown band.
At tho Contra! market yesce day a
couple of colored men got into a dispute
as to the length of tituo between the
landing of Noah’s Ark and the day he
left it, and in a short time each one was
mad enough to light.
“I say it war sixty days befo’ No’ got
out o' dat ark.’'
“An' I say it war only twenty days.”
“Yok lie* sah !”
‘Shoo, now, but what’s dis row ’bout?’
’ asked an old bald-bead who came
i around the corner.
The question was explained, and he
looked from one to tho other and re¬
plied: dead Jist
‘Boaf of you am wrong.

He put down hia brush, felt in hie
pockets, aud contmued:

ended the row. Figures never lie.
A Louisville lawyer came very near
sweating that he would tell the truth.
He wanted to be admitted to the bar
and having passed a satisfactory ex¬
amination tho court told the clerk to
ewe; r him in Tho clerk commenced,
‘ You do solemnly swear to tell the
truth the whole truth and nothing but
tho truth”—and had gotten that far
when the court yelled out: -‘Hold on,
there. Swear to support tho eonsti
union of tho State of Kentucky.” The
young lawyer trembled at bis narrow
escape.

Modern Courtship.

‘Always, Frederick; ever so.’

‘With-toy latest breath, Frederick.'
‘And, darling, you will mend my

‘Your what, sir!'
•You will mend my social ways and
draw me upward and onward to a bet

‘I' will be the pride of my lovo so to

your own complete happiness.’
T know that sweetness. But sap

‘But what I want to say is that

‘Begone, sir. What doyon mean?'

‘And you will care for me ever

What is the Bible like.
It is like a large beautiful tree which
bears sweet fruit for those who are hun¬
gry. and affords shelter and shade for
the pilgrims on their way to the king¬
dom of heaven.
It i3 like a cabinet of jewels and pre¬
cious stones which are not only to
looked at aud admired but used aud
worn.
It is like a telescopo that brings dis¬
tant objects aud far-off things of the
world rery near so that we can see
something of thoir beauty and impor¬
tance
It is like a treasuro-honse or a store¬
house for all sorts of value and useful
things and which are to be had without
money and without price.
It is like a deep broad calm flowing
river tbe banks of which are green and
flowery where birds sing and lambs
play, and dear little children are loving
and happy.
There is no place iu the wide world
like home. It is the dwelling place of
our heart's treasuies, aud first of our
lives wo owe to it aud its inmates. To

DE. TALMAGE ON MONOPOLY.
New York Herald.
After the congregation in th« Brook¬
lyn Tabernacle, on tbe morning of the
i!5th instant, had sung, “My Country,
’tis of Tbue,” Dr. Talmage announced
his text from Isaiah lxii., 41—‘‘Thy land
shall be 'married.'’ Hu said; 1 pioposs
to name some of tho suitors who arc
claiming the' hand of this Hopublic.
In the first place there is a greedy, all
grasping monster who comws in as suit¬
or soekiug the hand of this Kopublic,
and that monster is monopoly. His
sceptre is made out of tho iron of the
rail track and tho iron of telegraphy.
He does everything for his own advan¬
tage and for the robbery of the people.
Things have gone on from bad to worse, j
until in the three Legisla'ures of New ;
Y’ork, New Jersy and Pennsylvania for i
the thing. most If part monopoly decides law every |
monopoly opposes a it is
rejected. Monopoly stands in the rail
■road depot putting into bis pockets in
one year $200.000,000 in excess of all
reasonable charges for service. Muu . |
opoly holds in us oue hand the sienna !
power of locomotion, and in the other I
electricity of swift communication. Mo- ,
iRipoly has tho Republican party in oik? |
pocket and the Democratic party in the <
other pocket. Monopoly decides noun I
nations aud elections—city elections, !
State elections, national elections. With !
bribes it takes Hie votes of Istgi Tutors,
giving them free passes, givingappolnt
ments to needy relatives of Imitative
positions employing them as attorneys
if they are lawyers, carrying their goods j
a large per centago loss it they are
merchants, and if it finds incase very
stubborn as well as very important,
puts dowa before him the hard cash of
bribery.
A LEGISLATURE BOUGHT GimUGHT.
But monopoly is no; easily caught
now and captured and arrested as when,
during the term of Mr. Buchanan, the
Legislative committee in one of our
States explored and expised the man
tier in which a certain railway company
had obtained a donation of public land |
It was fouud out that thirteen «f ilie :
OLD Senators of them, that State sixty members i«eoiv«d $175,-j of
among tho
Legislature of that Stale received be-i
tween $6,000 and $10,00(3 each, the ■
Governor of that State received $.10 000 |
j uis clerk received $5(100, the Lieuten -j
! ant Gotorno received $10 000, all the i
j pUft clerks each, of the while Legislature $50,000 received divided $5,- j
were
! among the lobby agents. That thing •
! on a larger oi a smaller scale is ad the
| ! tune Union, going on in some is of the blundering! States of j
the but it not so
i as it used to bo, and threfore not so ca- j
i sily exposed or at rested. I toll you 1
that the overshadowing curse of the j
United States to-day is monopoly. Itj
puts its hand on every bushel of wheat,
upou every sack of Salt, upon every ton
of coal, and every man, woman and
child iu tho United States fools the
touch of that moneyed dospo ism. I
rejoice that in twenty four Status of the
Uuion already auti-mouopoly leagues
have been established. God spued
them in the work of liberation! I wish
that this Question might bo tho ques¬
tion ofihe uext Fresidentialieloclion, tor
ba'woou this and that limo we can com¬
pel the political parties to recognize it
in their platforms. I havo nothing to
say against capitalists. A man has a
right to make all the money he can
make hones:ly. I bavo nothing to say j
against corporations as such. With u
them no great entetpriso would be;
possible; but wnat 1 do say is that tho 1
same principles are to be applied to the i
poorest man and the p a m st laborer !
What is wrong for me is wroug for the 1
Vanderbilts aud the Goulds and elsva- '
ted railway companies of New York
and Brooklyn. Monopoly iu England j
has ground hundreds of thousands of
her best people into sami starvation,
and iu Ireland hae driven multitudinous
talents almost to tuauues*, and in the
United States proposes to taka the
wealth of fifty or sixty millions of peo¬
ple and put it in a fow silken wallets.
Monopoly, brazen faced, iron fingered,
vulture hearted monopoly, proposes his
hand, offers his hand to this Republic.
Let the millions of tho people—North,
South, East and West—forbid tho bans
of tbat marriage, forbid them at the
ballet box, forbid them by great organ
inzations, forbid them by the overwhol- J
tning sentiment of an outraged nation, I
forbid them by tbe protest of tho Chut oh !
of God, forbid them by prayer to high
heaven, that Herod shall not havo this
