14 THE SOUTHERN WORLD, JUNE 15, 1882. THE “COW I MB MAN.” A pair of very chabby leg*, Kncalned In acarlet born; A pair of little atubby boots, With rather doubtful toes; A little kilt, a little coat, Cut m a mother can— And lo! before us strides, In state, The future “coming man.” Ills eyes perchance will read the stars, Andsearch their unknown wuys; Perchance the human heart and soul Will open to their gaze; l’crcliance tlielr keen and Hashing glance Will be a nation’s light— Those eyes, that now are wlstfnl bent On some“blg tellow'sklte.” That brow where mighty thoughts will dwell In solemn, secret state, Where tierce Ambition’s restless strength, Khali war with future fate; Where Hcience from now hidden caves New treasures shall outpour— TIs knit now, with a troubled doubt. Are two, or three cents, more ? Those lips that, in coming yonrs, Will plead, or pray, or teach; Whose whls|iered words, on lightning Hash, From world to world may reach; That sternly grave, may s|s-ak command Or, smiling, win control— Are coaxing now for ginger-bread With all a baby'ssoulf Those hands—those little busy hands— Ho sticky, small and brown; Those hands, whose only mission seems To tear all onlcr down— Who knows what hidden strength may lie Within their chubby grasp. Though now 'tie but a taffy-stick In sturdy hold they clasp ? Ab, blessings on those little hands. Whom work Is not undone! And blessings on those little feet, Whose race Is yet unrun! And blessings on the little brain That has not learned to plan I What'ertho Future holds In store, God bless the ' coming man!” MKItllY MKI.AMIE. Making a Christmas pic is one way of minc ing matters. The State Treasurer of Georgia is a hand some Dan, sir. “Too much sugar for a scent,” remarked the youth as he kissed the girl who had been eating onions. All kinds of sleeves are admissible for ladies’ dresses, but the coat sleeve around the waist remains the favorite. The present growing crop of cotton in cer tain sections is so heavily mortgaged that it has killed ifout. The iiostmaster at Thomson, Gn., is in deep trouble. A kiss was sent by jmstal order to a young lady there, and lie hus cither to give up his ofllce or his wife. The populur drinksat soda water founts are “Bovine and Vaccine.” The Adamsville Debating Society has set tled what it is to be “dead drunk”—when the vital fluid presents the proportion of 1 of al cohol to D5 of blood. The most attractive inscription for the obelisk in Central Park, New York is: “ad vertise in the Southern World, Atlanta, On." The law against currying concealed weapons does not apply to cucumbers. Tho ancestors of king Kalakaua of the Sandwich Islands ate so much missionary in their time that he cannot help beinggood. The missionaries are not wasted after all. “Yes,” said a fresh arrival from Bodie the other day, “the gal I married up on the lode last month is a perfect lady—a perfect lady, sir. I don't supi*ose I’ve heard her swear mom’n twice this spring.” "The latest agony," says Jeeines, "is the way I left this morning. My wife asked me for a xx bill—u $20 you know—and cut I the matter short by telling her it could not be did, for tho simple reason that I lmd only a matter of a dollar or so in my pocket, ‘1 knew you'd tell me that,' she said, ‘and it’s true too.’ As l looked up in amazement she added: 'I looked in your pockets last night, I got the twenty.’ Oh, hoys, bow I felt! but what could 1 do?”—Ex. Two Highlanders found themselves unable to get into harbor in their boats, the waves driving it out to sea so persistently that Donald, after obstinately battling with the elements, cried out to Duncan, in u dialect which we will not attempt fully to represent: “Godoon on jrour knees, man, and offer a. bit prayer.” But before Duncan was on his knees the boat’s keel grated on the beach, whereupon Donald shouted: “Stop praying. We've come ashore by our own exertions, and I’ll no' be beholden to anybody.” A very graphic and pathetic description of the inroads soon to be made by civilization is given by an old man in Tennessee: “But this hyur country’s all agoin’ to change, it’s goin’ to be the most everlastin'ly improved, you see. I shan't never be improved; I’m too old. But the old ways is cornin' to an end. They’s men buyin’ up thousands of acres of this laud. Ther'll be railroads built directly, hither an' yan, more'n'll do any body any good. They’ll cut off the woods for fuel an’ lumber, an’ they’ll be mines and an’ quarries up hyur, they say. An’ they'll be mean, dirty little towns laid out all about Then, instid o’ people drinkin’ a lit tle healthy whiskey, as we've always done, they'U be forty times as rauefi miserable pison stuff sold an' drunk, an’ whoever drinks it’ll begin to steal an’ lie. 1 reckon they'll he some mighty line houses built som'eres along this river, an’ they’ll put big scientific locks onto their doors an’ thieves will como up from Ciucinnater an’ Cliat- noogu' an’ break into ’em. They ain’t never been a lock to n door in these mountains. But they's agoin’ to be the allfiredest im provements about hyur an’ I s’lxise our people'll l’larn to stenl too; haf to, to keep up an’ live. An’ they’ll be some o’ them city women, hyur, I reckon, from them big places, with their fine feathers, an’ their dresses u draggin' on the ground, an’ they’ll lie the devil to juty among our young men. That's what they call 'civ'lizntion, ain’t it, stranger? I tell you this country will soon lie improvin’ like hell, but I shan’t, live to see much of it, I reckon." Bill Arp: Poverty is a hard thing unless a man is use to it, but there are worse things in the homes of the rich sometimes. I wouldn’t give a cent for a big pile of money if I had to take the usual purquisitos with such as pride and vanity and poor health and a sickly wife and bud children and a big run of company ull the time. I reckon the good Lord bos mlike all tilings about right, and the poor man can be as happy as the rich one if he wants to.
