ROOSTER AND PARROT.
inis MODERN POEM YOl'lX FIND IN A MINt TB
HAS MORE TRITH THAN POETRY IN IT.
There was a little rooster.
Not very long ago,
Who thought no was alxioster.
You'd ought to hear him crow.
He noticed when lie hallooed
Tnc sun rose in the sRy.
Said he: "It thinks I called it.
And that's the reason why."
Hie head was high and empty.
His craw was fall of gall.
e strutted around the hcn-coop
And thought he knew it all
Alien older birds, and wiser.
Who had seen a thing or two,
Raised their hemin and tried, sir;
"Their cock—a-dcodle-do!”
He swore he could not bear It,
An<l shook his head w4)i vim.
He called each one a "parrot.
Who dared to crow, but him.
The earth lie claimed before him,
A far as he could see.
Its creatures should adore him,
And bend the supple knee.
No ben should laugh and cackle.
Nor should old Chanticleer
M ith sturdy voice and mettle,
King oat his lusty cheer.
The little rooster knew' not, •
. But thought to hw surcease;
11 he held back and crew not,
Suu, earth and stars w ould eease.
His cheek grew as lie nursed it,
His pride was on the swell.
Till his gall-bladder bursted
Aud al) his feathers fell.
They took bis body dusty.
Out tow’rd the garbage heap.
And from the shovel rustY
They tossed him down to sleep.
y Aina, you'd scarce believe it,
L The world went right along,
went, as when he breathed, yet
nd no one mimed his song.

BRUNSWICK.
I
Places of Intense Historic Inter
est Around The City.
TheJLanding of the Wanderer. The
Burial Place of Light Horse
Harry Lee Frederica
The Bloody Marsh.
Have you ever thought of the
i many points of intense historic in
terest iu the neighborhood of Bruns
wick? •
No?
Well, you have missed half the
pleasure of your life. In fact it is
essential to your welfare that you
should know of those (fiflerent places
I and visit them. Well here they are:
harbor of niitNswicK. —The har
bor of Brunswick was the scene of
1 the landing of the slave ship, Wan
derer, the last vessel that ever en
gaged in this traffic. Somewhere on
the coast of Africa she managed to
capture 500 of these unfortunate
creatures, and huddling them aboard
the ship without regard to sex or
comfort, sailed for America, One
hundred and fifty died during the
passage, and fourteen died the first
night after the vessel landed in
Brunswick harbor. With a ‘few ex
ceptions these captives were entirely
nude, the only articles worn by the ,e
few being rede and scanty garments,
A steamer load of clothing was
brought over from Savannah, but
they were so uncivilized that force
was required to compel them to wear
the clothes. It is said that of that
large cargo, only one survives io tell
the tale, she being an old domestic
living in Brunswick.
Dungeness.—Located on the south
end of Cumberland Island is Dun
gencss, the home of General Nathan
Greene. The place was given him
for his services as commander in -
thief of the southern forces during
the Revolutionary struggle. It is
also the burial place of Light Horse
Harry Lee, of revolutionary fame.
Several years ago it was purchased
by Mr. Carnegie, a wealthy citizen
of Pittsburg, Pa., who has creted a
palatial residence and expended large
sums in beautifying the grounds.
Frederica. —The old garrison
town of Frederica is on St. Simon’s
Island and was occupied by General
Oglethorpe for many years, begin
ning with 1735. It was afterwards
occupied by Major Horton, who suc
ceeded General Oglethorpe in the
government of the colony. Freder
ica was also the scene of Charles and
John Wesley and Whitfield. Indeed
there is a large oak tree at the place
under which John Wesley is said to
have preached his first sermon.
The Bloody Marsh —This historic
point is near the Hotel St. Simons.
It is where General Oglethorpe, by
stratagem, defeated the Spanish
invasion from Florida, slaughtering
many of them and • compelling the
remainder |se i . their flotilla and
finally to ai auvjn the island a»d
their expediiio. ,1
The Ji.mi. Island Brewery.—
i A short time al sr the occurrence of
| the incidenls mentioned above, Maj.
J Horton erected a brewery on Jekyl
island, and brewed beer, which was
sold all along the coast as far ns
Savannah. The remains of the old
brewery are yet to be seen.
These points possess enough his
toric interest to furnish the data for
a history of no small size. Besides
it would be most interesting for you
to \ isit them, in case you have not
[already had that pleasure.
It would be an easy matter to ar
‘ range an excursion to all these points
in one day. What say you to the
scheme?

Int r .sting- News
The foil -.1.,. ,;g conversation which
will prove interesung to house
keepers was over heard this morning
by a Post reporter:
Mrs. Fitzgerald.—“O, I declare 1
do not know where to buy good I
groceries, there is always something
short or spoiled.”
Mrs. Scott.—“ Why my dear, we
have been trading with Jones <fc
Capers at the corner of Monk and
Grant streets ever since Baumgart
ner moved his meat market; we al
ways get full weight and the very
best of groceries. Alli have to do
is send an order by the cook and the
goods are in the kitchen time enough
to get dinner. Speaking about
groceries makes me think of those
31b cans of butter I get from this
store, they keep it so nice and fresh
and I dec'are it saves me so much
trouble as to melting and leaking as
was the casu when it was sent to me
in trays, I shall always trade, with
Jones Capers.”
Mrs. F.—“ Well 1 shall begin to’
trade with Jones <fc Capers too. I
am very much obliged to you for:
telling me of them. I must be going
1 aow, when are you coming over to
see me?”
Mrs. S. — “In a few days—but let
me tell you something else. Jones <fc
Capers will do. They witl send out
and get what you order even if they
should happen to be out. of it. This
you know is a great convenience ami
saves you the trouble of sending all
i over town.”
Mrs. F.—“ Yes indeed I think 1
will walk by their place and see them
’ now.”
