Oh! for the leisure to lie and to dream
By some woodland well, or some rippling
stream,
.With a cool green covert of trees overhead,
' And fern or moss for my verdurous bed ?
To rest and trifle with rushes and reeds,
Threading wild berries likechaplets of beads,
Letting the breeze fan my feverish brow,
Hearing the birds sing summery vow's.
Oh! for the leisure to lie without thought,
Upon the mind’s anvil the ingot unwrought ;
The hammers that beat in my temples at
rest -
Calm in life’s atmosphere calm ill the breast.
To loll or saunter, to laugh or to weep.
Waken the echoes, or silence to keep,
With no human being at hand to intrude,
Or question the wherefore of manner or
mood:
Oh! for such leisuic to rest and to stray
In green haunts of Nature, if but for a day;
Through leaves to look at the sky from the
sod .
Alone with my heart, my hopes, and my
God ! g All the Feat-Found.
. A Georgia Plantation.
I thought the readers of the GAzn'r'rn
might be interested in a description of a
southern plantation and the manner of its
management at the present time. The one
that I have selected to describe is probably
. as well managed as any in this part of the
south, and is a commendation to the indus-
try and enterprise of its owner. It is in
Southwestern Georgia, a hundred and sev-‘
only-four miles from Savannah, on the At-
lantic and Gulf Bay railroad, and is but a
short distance from the Florida line. The
name of its owner is Judge James Morton.
Its area is seventeen hundred acres, six
hundred of which are cleared. Two hun-
dred and fifty acres are being planted with
cotton this season.
After the ground has been well ploughed .
it is slightly ridged; a small plough is then
run through thecenter of the ridge, making‘
a shallow furrow. Through this a mule
draws a planter, and the seed is dropped
and covered by one and the same operation.
When it is well up it is “chopped out” by a
hoe or a chopping machine, leaving half a
work, and turned what was accounted a
curse into a blessing, and counts the coun-
try in which he lives,and the government
under which he lives, the best beneath the
sun. Would that the southand north had
more men of his stamp. And if there are
any young men, economical and industri-
ous, and who are thinking of the south as
a home, they need not fear to comt; to South-
ern Georgia. Here are cheap plantations in
abundance, and, touched and tilletl by .he
diligent hand, they will make rich. ‘
Judg‘fiMorton does not think it was wise
to give the lreedmau,‘ indiscriminately, the
right of suffrage. He thinks that no one
should have this right who has not some
property and cannot read. But he is glad
that the days of slavery have passed away.
Having tried both slave and free labor, he
prefers the latter as being the least trouble-
some and the most profitable. He is also
very hopeful of the future of his state. He
thinks that a large prosperity awaits Geor-
gia iu.the near future, and that no part of
our country offers a better opportunity for
successful agricullure to industrious and en-'
terprising young men, and we are not sure
but that he is right. Z. B. B.

that they came to a sense of their treason:
to their friends, and in rallying each other‘
upon the possibly sentimental construction:
that might be placed upon their desertion,
the lively cavalier “dared" the damsel to
enter the church and he married to him,
and she promptly accepted the proposition.
Both of them were people of good social
position, the lady being a visitor to friends

the Union Park Baptist church, Chicago,
gave a humorous lecture on “Who wouldn’t
be a minister ?" the other night in that city.
The lecturer introduced himself to his au-
dience in the following style: “I have the
pleasure of introducing to you Florence Mc-
Carthy, a descendant of the ancient kings of
Munster, but who is far premier of being
born in America and living in Chicago than
he is of his royal descent—a man who is the
most tried man in Chicago, and who pep-
pered his deacons." After thisintroduction
he said he would send a streak of happiness
through the hearts of his audience by send -
ing them away deeply thankful that what
ever else in life they might have to contend
with, they were not at least a, minister. _
The disadvantages in a minister’s life com-
menced far back in his career—that was. to
to say, at his nativity. All ministers were
said to have been born of oor but respect-
able parents. The wel - o-do boys don’t
feel the Divine call to preach. Having de-
scribed lu facctious terms the young minis-
ters in these youthful days, first at school,
afterwards in lodgings in rooms seven sto-
ries high, and then ‘as a student traveling in
the country, where he was always described
as “that man,” as he was described years af-
terwards by the moderator when he‘ got
himself tried by council. He proceeded to
describe the nice tinge a minister had when
he settled Over a church. '
He was first invited to preach on Sunday,
and did so. Result: He made a good im-
pression ; every one was kind, but myster-
ious and non-committal as a mile-post. At'
the last moment he was invited to return
next Sabbath He did so, and preached
again. Result: Thegood manifestation was
deepened; the people wake up a little; the
sermouiwas slightly praised by the deacons;
only by insinuation, however. At the
fourth sermon the congregation slept a3

when first addressed as “Mrs.” Deacons
were like Federal officers—they never re-
signed, and seldom died. It took a deacon
one week to ascertain that his mission was
to ham-string the pastor. When he became
fully impressed with the importance he
started off at a brek~neck run to find the
pastor, and when he found him he addressed
soul-stirring remark: “Sir, I think you

0 man need wnsitler himself a deacon
in good standing unless he has performed
this heroic and self-sacrificing duty. .
”The next solemn and difilcult duty of a
deacon was to see that his pastor, if a single
man, married his daughter. [Laughter.]
The-lecturer said that he could not give the
exact chapter and verse of Scripture in
which it was found,but he did know that
every deacon thought he had a divine right
to marry his daughter to his pastor, and,
wonderful to say, they never had that right
when the daughter is an eligible person. If
the girl had plenty of offers, attentions on‘
the part of pastor were prohibited. . If, how-
ever, the damsel was six feet high, thirty
summers, with asthma, and had not had a-
beau since she was sixteen, then this divine
right would heurged with the greatesteaergy;
There was nothing which would turn hu-~
map beings so much like devils as for a pas-
tor to show his determination to stick by
his church and do his duty. ' In nine cases
out often a pastor was driven away, notfor
failure, but for success in his work. In
some parts of the country it has grown into
proverb, “After revivals, removals”.
Charges were brought against the pastor
one after another until they attacked his
character which they expected would com-
pel the pastor to resi ' d, then,'if a Bap-
tist. he was taken be council. [Laugh-
ter.] That led him to give an account of
councils. Ministers were happy when invi-
ted to attend a council for the trial of a
brother. To attend a council he would neg-
lect his sweetheart, fail to collect a marriage
fee, or neglect to attend the burial of his
enemy, the deacon. »
The Great Temperance Movement.
For years, and years, and weary suffering
years, multiplied into decades, have the
women of America waited to see' that traffic
destroyed, which annually sends sixty thou-
sand of their sons, brothers, fathers and
husbands into the drunkard’s grave. They
have bgen impoverished, disgraced, tortur.
ed in mind and body, beaten, murdered.
Under the impulse of maddening. liquors
the hands that were pledged before Heaven
to provide for, and protect them, have with-
drawn from them the means of life, or smit-
ten them in the dust. Sons whom they
have nursed upon their bosoms with tender-
est love and countless prayers, have grown
into beasts, of whom they were afraid, or
have sunk into helpless and pitiful slavery.
They have been compelled to cover their
eyes with shame in the presence of fathers
whom it would have been bliss for them to
hold in honor. _They have been compelled
to bear children to men whose habits had
unfitted them for parentage—children not
only tainted by disease, but endowed with
debascd appetites. They have seen them-
selves and their precious families thrust into
social degradation, and cut off forever from
all desirable life by the vice of the men they
loved. What the women of this country
have suffered from drunkenness, no mind,
which infatuated multitudes of men have

their industry, and out of which have come

Mr. McCarthy then presented the humor-
ous side of pastoral visitations, expressing
his belief that nine out of every ten church
goers would rather he struck by paralysis
than for a minis' to call on them on a
week day and ask to pray with them, and
yet if the pastor leaves the house without
offering to pray, the lady went to her'neigb-
bore and complained of the indifference of
the minister. Knowing his experience, the
audience, he said, would expect that he
would say something about deacons, and he
would not disappoint them.
The greatest sorrow of ministerial life was
the order of deacons, and it arose out of the
fact that those dignitaries are self-constituted
teachers and masters of the pastor. Could
anything be more absurd? Deacons resem-
bled the characters of Bottom and his friends
in the “Midsummer Night’s Dream." It
would naturally be expected that such a
body of men would feel some difidence
about giving advice, much less giving com-
mands, to the pastor. _

It becomes men to be either humbly help-
ful or dumb. We who have dallied with
this question ; we who have dispassionately
drawu the line between temperance and
total abstinence; we who have deplored
drunkenness with wine-glasses in our hands;
we who have consented to involve a great
moral reform with politics; we who have
been politically afraid of the power of the
brutal element associated with the liquor
trailiic; we who have split hairs in our dis-
cussions of public policy; We who have
given social sanction to habits that in the
great cities have .made druukards of even
the women themselves, and led their sons
and ours into a dissolute life; we who have
shown either our unwillingness or our ilnpo-
tence to save the country‘from the gulf that
yawns before it, can only step aside with
shame-faced humility while the great cru-
sade goes on, or heartily give t’it our ap-
proval and our aid. -
This is not a. crusade.of professional agita-
tors, clamoring for all abstract right, but an
enterprise of suffering, pure and devoted
women, laboring for the overthrow of a con-
crete wrong. It is no pleasant, holiday
business in which these women are engaged,
but one or Self-denying hardship, pregnant

There is no practical middle ground. So
long as men drink temperately, men' will
drink intemperately, whether it ought to be
otherwise or not ; and it is with reference to
the development of a healthy public opinion
on this subject, that we particularly rejoice
in the woman’s crusade. Our own vision
is so blinded and perverted that we can
only see the deformity of the monster which
oppresses us through woman’s eyes, uplifled
in prayer, tearful in shame and suffering, or
bright in triumph as the strongholds of her
lifelong enemy fall before her.

BY MRS. W. ll. SEELEY.
In the light of the Sabbath morning,
At the sunset of the year,
When the balmy September breezes
Were fragrant anti soft and clear;
When the tuberosc was in blossom,
And the heliotrope kissed the sun,
God gave to our arms a daughter, '
. A.tcnderl y cherished‘one.
How absorbedly we loved her
As the months crept on apnea!
And the gleam of baby fancies
Eulivened her infant face.
The fold of heriunoccut fingers
Trustfully clasping our own,
Awoke a thrill in our bosoms

That only parents have known.-
And the gurgle of baby laughter,

Made her blue eyes all atrcmhle,
Au'd flutterptl her finger tips.

To the beautiful September,
' And where is our darling now .9
In the light of the Sabbath morning,l
. . In the Spring-timgof the year,
When the robin and the bluebird .
Were carrolliug loud and clear;
When the crocus was the fairest,
And maple bloom wassweet,
Anti the tender winds of April
The daffodil did greet,
The Seraphim whispered a story,
Down deep in her loving heart,
0f the harp, the crown, and the palm-
bough, '
And the higher, better part.
And she showed her as in a picture,
The shine of the Jasper Sea,
The streets of theiCity Celestial,
And the light of Eternity. ,
0 ! how could she help but hasten
Back to the land of her birth?
For we sometimes thought her an angel
That unawares strayed to earth,
But still cherished a fond remembrance
Of the heaven she could not find,
For her thoughts seemed too high anti
hcly _
For the grossness of mortal mind.
In the company of angels,
' With the seal of God on her brow,
And the white stone hearing her new
name,
Is our little daughter now.
Watching and waiting to welcome
V Her friends. to her blissful lot,
For by our beloxed in Heaven
Earth’s dearest- are not fergot.

Don’t you hear the scholars thrumming?
Bumble-bells in J unc !
All the leaves together thumbing,
Singers hunting for a tune?
Master mending pens, and humming
Bonny Doou? '
Ashe thinks, a perished maiden
Fords the brook of song,
- Comes to him so heavy laden,
Stepping on the notes along.
Stands beside him, blessed maiden !
He has waited long !
Cherry-ripe is the glowing stove,
Grammar class is inflecting "love,”
“I love you—you love, and love we all."
Bounding states are the Humboldts small.
Chanting slow in common time
Broken China’s rugged rhyme:
‘Yang-tse-kiang—Ho-aug-ho—"
Heavenly. rivers! How they flow !
Writing class with beads one way-—
And tongues all out for a holiday!
Hark to the goose-quill‘s sputtering grate, »
Raspiug like an aykwark skate,
Swinging around In mighty B’s,
Lazy X’s and crazy Z’s!
Here a scholar, looking solemn,
Blunders up a crooked column,—
Pisa’s own Italic tower,
Done in slate in half an hour,
Figures piled in a mighty sum ;
He wets a finger, and down they come.
Aproned urchin, aged five,
Youngest iuothe humming hive,
Standing by the master’s knee,
Calls the roll of A, B, C.
Frightened hair all blown about,
Buttered lips in half a pout,
Knuckle boring out an eye,
Saying “p” and thinking “pie,"
Feeling for a speckled bean,
’Twixt each breath a dumb ravine, ’
Like clock unwound, but going yet,
He slowly ticks the alphabet : '
“A-ah—B-ah—C-ah—D,"
Finds the bean and calls for “G.”
See that crevice ' .the floor—
Slcnder line fro , esk tQtloor,
First meridian of the school——
Which all the scholars toe by rule. _
Ranged along in-rigid row, _
Inky, golden, brown anti tow, '
Are heads of spellers high and low,
Like notes in music sweet as June,
Dotting ofi‘ a dancing tune.
Boy of Bashan takes the lead,—
Roughly thatched his bullet head ;-——
At the foot an efght-ycar-oldJ
Stands with head of trembling gold;
Watch her when the word hmissed !
Her eyes are like an amethyst, ‘ .
Her fingers dove-tailed, lips apart;
She knows that very word by heart !
And swings like any pendulum, '
" Trembling lest it fail to come.
Runs the word along the line,
Like the running of a vine,
. Blossoms out from lip to lip-e-
Till the girl in azure slip, , - -
Catches breath and spells theword,
Flits up the class like any bird,
Cheeks in bloom with honest blood,
And proudly stands where Bashau stood!
Evening reddeus on the wall— .
“Attention!" Now—“'Obeisance all 1"
The girls’ short dresses touch the floor,
They drop their courtesies at the door;
The boys jerk bows with jack-knife springs,
And out of doors they all take wings!
’ Vanished all-all change is death;
Life is not the counted breath.
The slanting sun low in the west,
Brings to the master blessed rest.
See where it bridges afternoon,
And slopes the golden day-time down,
As if to him'at last was given,
An easy grade to restful heaven!
His hair, is silver—not with light.
His heart is heavy—not with night. '
Dying day the world has kissed,
missed ! . ' .

it is repel-ted that “popular prices" are to
rule at Sarntoga the coming season, as the
result of an order from A. T. Stewart that
the price of board at the Grand Union hotel
shall no'. exceed $3.00 per day. The hotel
fraternity growl at this, but the result will
probably be that, if carried out, they-will
make more money than ever before, because
,of n great increase of patronage.
