BY GEORGE ARNOLD. ’Tis J une, and all the lowland swamps Are rich with tufted reeds and ferns, And filmy with the vaporous damps That rise when twillght’s crimsonburns; And as the deepening dusk of night Steals purpling up from vale to height, The wanton fire-flies show their fitful light: Soft gleams on clover-beams they fling, And glimmer in each shadowy dell, Or downward, with a sudden swing, Fall, as of old 9 Pleiad fell ; And on, the fields bright gems they strew, And upand down the medow go, And through the forest wander to and fro. .They store no hive, nor earthly cell, They sip no honey frOm themes ; ‘3! .58! W. mm .‘dewell. Nor ought of their rare gift disclose; ‘ :Yet, when the night upon the Swamps ' Calls out the mark and misty (lamps They pierce the'shadows with their shining '- lamps. ...._l ‘ ‘. .. Now ye who in life’s garish light Unseen, unknown. Walk to and fro, -Wllen death shall bring a drcsmless night, ‘ May ye‘not find your lamp sglbw ? FGod works, we know not why nor how, And, one day, lights, close hidden now, My blaze like gems uponan angel’s brow ! Wow—— I» ~ 1mm Weekly Barlow. The Stupidity of being mon. , Some days since I read an editorial in one of the morning journals, advising everybody to keep poor—ifpoor he chance to be—and strong y recommending the wealthy classes to come out of their brown-stone fronts, be- I I stow their plate upon street beggars, and .cgmence owing their bakers and tailors if e ordinary Christians and true nineteenth c _ tury gentlemen. Permit me to second t eccentric notion, and so bring the ques- tion before the public. I trust that the reso- lution offered will in due course be referred to the committee on human affairs. The ar- guments in‘ favor of bei '3 porn": neatly poor «are numerous and W.- .Here is one of them. It is ex ’ ayatohs'righ. Here is another. 'If you,, , ' ngurpddrrelatlons despise you, a ‘ ,‘t atyou pever lend them any money. Aerials-gm“. Your name is passedzarouudamongstf the fashion- able lady beggars, who ‘neglect their families in the interest of the ills timate descend- ants of.the Monarch of . ahomey; or go about establishing institutions for the recla- mation ofpersons made permanent inebriates by indulging in the so-called liquors manu- factured and sold by the husbands, sons, s , there, uncles, or cousins of these self-same philanthropic ladies. . ' 1 And here is one more. You are expected- to subscribe to new churches, with which you are to have no connexion either in this world or the next; to discount country min- lsters’ notes, and look to old what's his name for payment; to employ all the poor lads that come from the Sunday School or the station house; to advertise in all existing spare and subscribe to all that are about to e started; to send large donations to char- - lily fairs; to listen to the daily reading of the diury of that inevitable widow who is now raising a few thousands to clear off the mort- gage on her comfortable town residence ; to buy pianos for all your wife’s schoolmates when they get married—or, failing in any ope of these particulars, be proclaimed at divers tea-sprees “a niggardly wretch," “a hard-hearted sinner," or else be regarded as occupying a tight corner, from which there are not-many chances of escaping. _ Considerin all this, I re tlly wonder that it never struc our millionaires that it is cheaper and less vexatious to be poor. And I am equally surprised that orphan boys, clerks on small salaries, reporters, sub-editors clergymen, and small country-trades-people should manifest the least desire to get on in life. It is a great deal pleasautcr to dodge duns, and perambulate the more retired streets with a view to escaping lordly credit- ors, and “live from hand to mouth,” than to, own a dog cart and drive a tandem, use high priced wines and keep a boarding house for the numerous race known as Friends,—but not in the Philadelphia sense. ‘ I have talked with a great many rich men on this subject, and flu that they agree in recommending poverty to almost eve body. They wax eloquent over the respousi ilities imposed bythe on of countless green- backs, an I think, judging from some of their talk, that, had they the opportunity of commencing life anew, they would manage to work themselves or their friends into t e aims-house rather than become the pro ris- tors of railway and steamship lines. am sure that the rson who wrote the advice in the Times, or it was in that paper that this new philosopfiy was broached, is a capitalist of this sort. a doesn't enjoy his money, nor can he conceive how anybody else could. I would give an old hat to clap eyes on him just long enough to ask him for how much he will sell out. .If he is honest in the opinions advanced, he might turn over his capital to another party—to yours respect- fully, for_ instance—and permit the other party to invest it in a weekly organ that should systematically grind out his theory. Were he to entrust me with the management of such a publication, I would cheerfully en- gage him at nine dollars a week to furnish eaders, read the exchanges, correct proof, run on strands, and canvass for advertise- ments. At the end of six months his liver would come out all right. He would become light-hearted, sleek and contented. Un- doubtedly he would find the practice of his doctrine more beneficial than the preaching. The beautiful working of the system, which is not new as it may at first appear, has been foreshadowed in the experience of the late proprietors of this vast continent. The In- dians were as poor as they were honest. There was not a greenback among the whole Six Nations. ' They crossed the East and North rivers in “dead-head” style, and rail- road fare between Boston and Washin ton was unheard of. Yet they flourished. he squaws ot along pretty well without tra- ding at tewart’s, and their Medicine Man seem to have practiced allo athlcally with- out fee. Every “big injin’ was his own landlord, and paid no taxes. There was vir- tue in their Common Councils. They ‘pro- duced no “bulls” and kept the limited stock of “bears” short. They had no underground schemes at Albany, nor any Internal Reve- nue department at Washington. And all went well. It was only when the white man came that their troubles begun. And what occasioned the trouble ? Money, or its equiv- alent and rum. Mr. Indian undertook to speculate with Mr. White, and got cornered. Then there was a row, I have heard say. And White foreclosed~all the mor ges and pocketed the various securities. hen Erie went way out of sight, and DelaWare got a black-eye. Hudson River advanced to par. Lo, the poor Indian, as he was called, got high on bad whiskey and went to the rent hunting grounds, by the western Over and route. Since which time he has not been heard from, even in spiritual circles. It is very evident from all this that had the Cop- pers .refused all temptations to deal with the W ite man’s “ring, he would have kept himself free from the dire sets into which he was finally preci itated. his is truth, and truth yesterday a truth to-day. Hence the basis of the It'mcs’ man's school of econ- omy which is substantially this: If people would only agree to come into the world poor and go out at the expense of the Aims houseflommissioners, all would be well. The present prospect is favorable for the tactical testiu of this theory, on a pretty orgasmic. . I ave no doubt of its working beautifully, ifit works at all, and. I am de~ lighted tossetlls matter agitate-l in to re- spected a quarter. How glorious it would be to ride in a horse-car, driven by. the President Of the road, at the weekly wages of sixteen dollars, and to tender oue’s fare to a director whose only dividends would accrue in the shape of eight hundred dollars a car, for working sixteen hours per day, inc udiug Sundays. What a charming spectacle would be at- forded by Mr. Premium milking his cow in 5th Avenue at sundown, or by Mr. Bull, from Williamtstreet, slaughtering a porker in his back yard, asmsted by his now pious- less wife and un-Frenched daughters. Sim- ilar interestin scenes may be conjured up by each rea er’s ready fancy. But what would please me most, in the new order of thingnwould be to stand on the Astor House steps, while the new-fledged philanthropist of the Times imparted a brilliant lustre to my latest boots, on terms sufilciently moder- ate to keep him permanently out at the elbows and out of print. This is a good place for refreshments, so let us do it, and since it is hardly worth while returning to the subject, suppose you permit meto adjourn this meeting, and re new the assurances of my distinguished con- sideration. Yours, Pawrr. ~_..:..-. PUBLIC ACTS. PASSED MAY SESSION, 1866. CHAPTER XXXVI“.
