If I Were Rich.
If I were rich, like some-folks I know,
Who think themselves wondrously graud,
Tir.-t of ni! I w-.iiM purchase a costly ring
For toy danial's snow-white hand;
A circle of gold for her lair young head,
With jewels to twine in her hair,
And a necklace of pearls for this queen of girls
Round her swan-like throat to wear.
I Wuuld build her a bower ia sumo funny nook,
" Where no trace of glut-in should come;
Thero tho birds would warble their sweetest layr,
And tho honey-bee would hum;
Tho nightingale's song would lull her to sleep
Ia thc night which is sacred to lore,
And ?it dawn of duy her soul would awako
With the voice of the wooing dove.
Allround and over tho fragrant porch
Should thc hun ey-.-UL-ii le blooo.,
And about tho casement ihe clambering rose
Would scatter its sweet perfumo;
There she should dwell, this queen of girls,
With a jewel in each little car,
And if wealth could save her, across her face
Never shadow of grief should appear.
If I were rich I would buy great ships,
And send them over the sea,
And close by the shore I would watch and wait
Till my ships came hume to inc:
Brc idths of satin and shiuing silk?.
With plumes from the ostrich's wing,
And doth of ludia, woven fine,
My huii?o-bound ships would bring.
If I were rich, then theso attic walls
Would blossom with ti>pc?tr ' gay :
And the lingering Lour*, thu', s-- weary seem,
Would spoed on 8wifteringi away.
But alas for nie, how often I fear,
In tue3o cold methodic times,
That little of profit and little of pra'uo
Will come from my idle rhymes!
A Beautiful Tribute to tho H'o'meu
und Children cf the South.
The fallowing article from the pen of
father Ryan, in Saturday's issue of the
Bauner of the South, is so deserved and
beautiful a tribute to the women and chil
dren of the South, 'hat wc take the lib
erty, of transferring it entire to our col
umns, assured that our readers will peruse
.it with as much pleasure as we have done :
. SOUTHERN WOMEN AND CHILDREN'.
Where are the worn eu and children in
History .' Why do they so seldom ap
pear? Have they had nothing to d<?
with shaping the events of this world ?
Are men the only actors in the great
drama 1 Have the women and children
no part lo play ? ' And if they have, why
do we so very rarely meet with them in
the scenes and acts o?* history ? And
wi.e:i their gentle faces do appear, how is
it that they are kept far di'-in the obscure
back-ground, dim as shadows, scarcely
at ail-or, if seen, almost unnoticed ? We
reucl the annals of a thousand years : we
tutti over page aller page; but tile names
upon them written,*and llie deeds in them
if corded, aro natives and deeds of men.
What of the women and children ?f those
thousand years? Have they dune nothing
worth recording ? and if they have, where
is the record I We follow the histories
of a hundred nations, through all their
vicissitudes, from their births to <t bc burials
we. find thc foot-prints alone of men. Has
no mark been lett to tell that women and
children had aught to do with the desti
nies ?if ?he nations ? Do men alone make
History From them ?dune is all its
glory derived ? Have they so occupied
tho st3ge upon which thc drama of history
is: acto J as to leave no room noon it for
the women and children? Du these ex
ert no . mfluenc? "ti the course of events?
o.- so imperceptible an influence that only
ojtce or twice in a hundred years tbe>
make a mark and leave a memory ?
'Chere are historians of men and men's
achievements, but women and children
have neither history nor hist..r?an. Anrl
yet, the weak hands of women and chil
dren have done their part in the building
up of every nation. They have sutfered
toland struggled ; they have given their
tears to the traged'"?S ot* this world ; ^hey
have'helped nations to attain glory and
men to win fame ; they have influenced
everv day of history, but in thc blaze of
men's achievements they liave been hid
den,, just as the stars in the heavens are
veiled fr jiu uar gaze by the splendors ol'
the sun. In the march of mitions to glory
wo hear only the timi tread of the war
rior; we listen in vain for the patter of
little f er. In llie field of Kattie we hear
univ, tho shunts of the combatants-not
the stilts of women who are wailing for
those who will return uo more. Memo
ri is ?f?n? blood of brave men shed in sa
cred canses history gathers and preserves,
but the tears of the widows and orphans
in tho desolate home are forgotten. And
which is holier-the blood of the soldier
or the tears of his orphans ? The histo
rian linds on thc battle-plain a grave, and
tho name of thc sleeper in ii. he gives to
the world ; but the names of the weepers
fur that dead one find no place in his
pages] And which is holier-the puls?
les:; heart of tue warrior buried in his bat
tle grave, or tho broken hearts of the wife
and children at home] History takes
pains and feels pride in recording the suf
ferings and sacrifices of men for right,
but ali unknown and unwritten are the
greater sacrifices of the women and chi I
dren; greater because they feel them
more intensely and are. less able to make
(??..rn and bear them. How often have
we mused over these unwritten histories.
How often have wo striven to fiil up with
our own imagining-? the blanks in the an
nals of earth ! How often have we won
dered about these women and children
who stand in the silent, shadowy back
ground of. history, and yet who are inti
mately related to every event! They
share "the fates of their people-they
su/lerand rejoice-they weep-they make
sacrifices-wield a quiet, yet tremendous
power, over the acts of history ; and' yet
historians scarcely deign to mention them.
A passing tribute now and then they re
ceive, but the full meed ot praise which
they deserve is withheld. The great deeds
of men occupy page after page, a sentence
here and lhere intimal es that back of the
great, men and their denis are the women
and children. Who will write their his
forv? Were it written how it would, in
interest., transcend the records of men!
What bright and beautiful pages-what
sad and pathetic page3 it would present!
how tragic it would be ! What, sorrows
and sufferings-what faith and fidelity it
would contain ! Do we meet in the front
lines of history with men grear, good,
and true' Back of them would we not
find women and children as true, as good
and a'* great? Does the heroism of men
on battle fields in just causes thrill us
with admiration? What of the heroism
in the homes of these-men? There goes
the soldier to the fray firm and fearless;
a proud figure for the historian to sketch ;
but look at his little girl standing on the
doorstep, bitterly weep'.ig, and .kissing
her while little hand io her soldier-father
for the Jfltf time. There goes the warrior
grandi)-'down lo death rather than yield
towrong; history will not forget him.
But had he a mother, a wifg, a. child, what
of them ? He leaves a memory ; what
becomes of their memories'? They sent
him forth-prayed for him-watched and
waited for him-suffered the deep anguish
of suspense for him-he is remembered
-they ure forgotten. His deeds are hand
ed down-theirs, consigned to obliviun.
His brow is crowned with a wreath ot
glory, and flowers are strewn o'er his
grave-but they ! no one knows of them ;
no one asl^s for them. Ant! who yuflered
more-they or he ? Which is harder
death to him in the front of battle, or life
to them when he is gone1? Which is
greater-his glory or their grief? ' And
if the light of his glory flashes along
many a page of history, why does not
their griff cast'its shadow there ?
History is wrung. Women and chil
dren help to make it. They are actors
in the drama. They are part of every
scene. Beside every event they stand.
There never was a deed done with which
they have not been connected. But their
story is unchronicled-their fames un
sounded-their names eclipsed in thc
glare of the names of men. Their hearts
are beating under ever) pag-? of history ;
their hands, unseen, are working at every
monument of human glory. Amid the
nations they are moving to and fro, ful
filling their mission, but thc ranks of men
hide them from view and the writers of
the deeds of men leave them in their ob
scurity.
Who will write the story of the wo
men and children of the South? Who
will describe their sacrifices for our cause !
Who will record their enthusiasm as long
as there was hope-and their fidelity
when hope passed away ? Who will tell
the world, in fitting words, of their woes
and the wrongs they endured? Weare
shrining in story and in song thc fames of
our men-shall we forget our women and
children? They are keeping our memo
ries-shall wc let their momories perish?
They are treasuring in their hearts our
traditions-they cling to them-they will
pass them down-they are making them
household words ; and if they do this
for us, shall we fail to record their praises ?
Proud pages in history shall *the men
who wore the Grey I ave ; but their
mothers, wives, sisters, children, -shall
they remain unchronicled and unknown ?
No ! they were true to us, and history
must be true to them. Devotion to a
cause, greater than theirs, the world
never witnessed. Does the ivy cling as
faithfully as ever to thc crumbling tower ?
so they to the lost cause. Was the blood
of our soldiers, shed in our defence, holy
and pure ? Not Jess pure and holy were
their tears. Were the hand?hi ps borne
in battle, siege and skirmish, in cam Oj on
the march, in the trenches and hospitals
grand and worthy of lemembrance? Not
less grand nor less worthy of record were
the sorrows of our women and children
in twice a hundred thousand home?.
Where was the higher heroism-on the
battle-field, or far away at the lonely
hearth ! Who bore more-gave more
suffered more for country-the soldier
with sword of steel girded to his side, or
thc soldier boy's mother with the sword
of grief transpiercing her heart ? Was
he worn and weary, that soldier of Lee's
army in the trenches of Richmond ? But
thousands of comrades surrounded him.
What of his wife, with the woe-worn face
and the weary heart in her far-off home.
looking into the eyes of her little girl,
who, to-morrow may La fatherless? ls
it sad-that grass-grown grave, without
a name, in the shadow of thc woods of
Tennessee? A boy without coffin or
shroud, *ith only his grey suit on, is
resting there ; and-his sorrows ar? (?vor.
But there is a grave in that ooy's only
sister's heart, away, down in some little
village of Georgia, and her sorrows still
endure, ls that not sadder? Was i!
not mournful-that dying cry of the poor
soldier in a Northern pi ison? But the
moans of his mother in the silence of the
night, when his pale face flits through her
dreams-are they not more full of agony ?

PATRICK'S ATTEMPT AT GERMAN.-Fred
erick the Great,of Prussia had a great
mania for enlisting gigantic soldiers into
thc Royal Guards, and paid an enormous
bouriiy to his recruiting officers fur get
ting them. One day the recruiting ser
geant chanced to spy a Hibernian who
was at least seven feet high; he accosted
him in English, proposed that he should
enlist. The idea of military lift' and a
larg?; bounty so delighted Patrick, that
Im immediately consented.
" Bat, utdess yon can speak German,
thc king will not give you so much."
" Oh,".said the Irishman, 11 sure it's 1
that don't know a word of Gorman."
" Bar," said the sergeant, " three words
will be sufficient, and these you can learn
in a short time. The king knows every
man in the Guards. As soon as he secs
you, he will ride up and ask you how old
you are? You will say 'Twenty-seven.'
Next, how long you have been in the ser
vice ? you must reply, 'Three weeks.'
Finally, if you are provided with clothes
and rations ? you answer, ' Doth.' "
Pat soon learned to prono.ince his an
swers, but never dreamed of learning
? ti
questions. In three weeks he appeared
before the king in review. His majesty
rode up to bim. Paddy stepped forward
with " present arms."
" Mow (dd are. yuu ?" said the king.
"Three weeks," said the Irishman.
" How long have you been in the ser
vice ?" asked his majesty.
" Twenty seven years."
"Am I or you a fool?" roared thc
king.
" Both," replied Patrick, who was in
stantly taken to the guard-room, but par
doned by the king alter he understood the
(acts of the case.
JI'DGK V-, of Buffalo, is' widely
known throughout Western New York
for his habits of unflagging industry, as
well as for an appreciation of all sorts of
wit. On or off tho bench, no one knows
better how to enjoy o good thing. A
case was before him in which the reputa
tion of one of thc parties was involved:
'. What is thc general character < f thc
defendant V asked the prosecuting officer.
" Character fur what ?"
" Why, his morals?"
This particular point was just what the
witness was not over-desirous of answer
in?; and knowing the judge iptite \vell,
he cast toward him au tippealiiig iook, as
much as to say, Can't you help me out
of this? The Judge c/mprchendod the
situation, and. with a lace of stony gravi
ty, suggested that the answer desired
might perhaps be attained by slight, varia
tion of the question. "Suppose you ask
him, 'How afe his iwimoralsT" The
witness looked upon the Court, the Court
dittoed upon thc witness, wlr.ie the latter
replied : M Well, Judge, I should say that
his 7/nmorals stand very high!" The
Court " noted the exception." while most
of the by-stander3 adjourned to Bloomer's
to-talk the thing over leisurely, j
Beginning to Believe,
" Bubbles," of the California Golden
Era gets oil' the following:
\ begin to believe now-a days, rooney
makes the man, and dress the gentlemen.
I begin to believe that the purse is
more potent than the sword and ?e pen
together.
1 begin to believe that honesty is the
best policy-to speculate'with until you
have gained everybody's confidence-then
line your pockets.
1 begin to believe that those who sin
the most during the week are the most
devout upon Sundays.
I begin to believe in humbugging peo
ple out of their dollars. It is neither
stealing or begging; and those who are
humbugged have themselves to blame.
I begin to believe that man was not
made to enjoy life, but to keep himself
miserable in the pursuit and possession of
riches.
I begiu to believe that the surest reme
dy for hard times and a tight money mar
Ket is an extravagant expenditure on the
part of individuals-to keep the money
moving.
I begin to believe that none but knaves
aro qualified to hold office under the Gov
ernment-with exception of a few natu
ral born.fools or lunatics.
I begin to believe that a piano-forte is
more necessary in a . family than meat
and potatoes.
I begin to believe that, a boy who
dosen't swear, smoke, and chew tobacco,
may be a very g?od boy, but naturally
stupid.
1 begin to believe that if the devil
should die, one half of the world would
be thrown out of employment.
I begin to believe that he has the most
merit who makes the most noise in his
own behalf and that, when Gabriel comes,
he, too, will blow his own horn pretty
loud.
" Do you ever go to evening parties?"
u No," ?aid my friend Tom, ." i used to,
but 1 am cured." " How so ?" said i,
anxious to learn his experience. u Why,
you seo," said Tom, feelingly, " I went to
one some years back, and fell in love with
a beautifubgirl. I courted like a trump,
and thought I had her sure, when she
eloped with a tailor; but I swore ven
geance. ? patronized the robber of my
happiness and ordered a full suit of clothes
regardless of expense." ;'But your ven
geance?" said 1. " I struck the tailor on
his most vital part. 1 never paid that
bill ; but those infernal clothes were thc
cause of my future misfortunes." " How
so?" " Wearing them I captivated my
present wife. She told me so; and I
haven't seen a happy day since. But I
am bound to be square with that wretch
ed tailor on the long run. I'll leave him
a legacy, on condition that he marries my
widow.
A correspondent of a medical turn of
mind in Skull Valley, Arizona, mentions
a scene, '.hat occurred in a village in Illi
nois, where dwells a magistrate named
Ucl er. Tiie minister of that village one
day received a call from a soldier and a
blushing maid, who v. ?shed to be married
at once. Un being asked for thc marri
age license, the "boy in blue" declared
lie had none-and, moreover, that he
needed none, as he had known the girl
four years, and they liked each other,
and didn't want license or permission
from any one. The clergyman assured
him that without a license he could not
perform the ceremony. Thc lover en?
treated without avail, when the parson
rather impatiently remarked: " You had
better take the girl and go to Heiser."
'?Goto hell yourself, Sir!" was there
ply ; and the couple indignantly "evaded
the premises," with the conviction that
profanity was not by any means confined
to the army.
A jury in Alabama had been empan
eled in the case of a Mr. Johnson, charged
with killing his wife. The evidence was
positive and conclusive, leaving not a
doubt of his speedy conviction. To the
amazement of all, the jury, after a short
absence, returned a verdict, '"Guilty of
horse-stealing!" The judge, astonished,
asked an explanation, staling that the in
dictment was not for horse-etealing, but
manslaughter. The foreman, with his
hand upon a huge law-boo'*, and with an
amusingly dignified air, informed the
Court that "?twas not a case o? man
slaughter, but ?oy/;?anslaughter, for which
the law made no provision; but being
satisfied the man deserved to be hung,
they had brought in a verdi .t of horse
stealing, which, in (lat county, would be
sure to ??winy him!"
TALKING FIXE.-Ludicrous blunders
sometimes occur in cases where ignorant
persons attempt ibo. us? of language about
lite meaning of which they know nothing :
Not long since, while traveling from
Pittsburg to Cincinnati, two rather ver
dant specimens of thc female sex came
on board the boat at one of the landings,
who for the sake of distinction we will
call Mary and Jane.
Now Mary had her eye-tooth cut, or
In other words, was acquainted with the
ules and regulations which govern gen
teel society ; Jane, the younger, had
never mixed in society to any extent.
lier language was such as she heard
among her rustic acquaintances. Mary
was awro of this fact, and therefore cap
tioned her to observe how she (Mary)
acted, and govern herself accordingly.
Shortly after; while scaled at the din
ncr table, the warier asked Mary what
part of the fowl she would ha've? She
informed him in a very polite manner
that it was .' perfectly immaterial."
Ile accordingly gave her a piece, and
then inquired of Jane what part elie would
prefer ?
"I believe 1 will take a [?ieee of I he
immaterial, too!"
33^* A farmer's daughter was visited
by a rustic youngster, who finding it
difficult to keep up the conversation,
asked the girl, after at) embarrassing si
leuce, " If she knew of anybody that
wanted to buy a shirt?" " No, 1 don't,"
she replied, M have you one to sell ?"
"Oh, no, I only asked to make talk."
gSgT Old Squire. Di Ison, the homeliest
man in Nebraska, while out. hunting lately,
met a.stranger, and after glancing at him
levelled his rifle at his breast. " Why,
you amt a going to shoot me !" exclaim
ed the .stranger. " Yes," said the squire,
in relentless tones, " 1 made a vow, years,
ago, that if ever 1 saw a homelier mun
than 1 am, I'd shoot him on the spot."
Oh. well, fire away !" cried the si ranger,
"if /'iii homelier iban you are, I don't
want to live another minute." Thc squire
gave it up.

"What a fine head your boy has!"
said an admiring friend, " Yes," said the
fond father, "he's a chip of thc old block
-ain't you my boy ?" u Yes, father,"
replied the boy ; " teacher said yesterday
J was A young blockhead,"
A CONSCIENTIOUS WIDOW.-A poor
man on his death-bed, made his will. He
called his wife to bim, and told her of
the provisions he had made.
" I have left," said he, " my horse to
my parents ; sell it and hand over the
money you receive. I leave you my
dog; take good care of him, and.he will
serve you faithfully."
The wife promised to obey, and in due
time set out for the neighboring market,
with the horse and the dog.
" How much do you want for your
horse?" inquired a farmer.
" I cannot sell the horse alone, but you
may have both at a reasonable rate. Give
me a hundred dollars for the dog and one
dollar for the horse."
The farmer laughed, but as the terms
were low, he willingly accepted them.
Then the worthy woman gave the hus
band's parents the dollar received for the
horse, and kept the hundred dollars tor
herself.
Right shrewd widow, that.
A MAD DOG STORY.-A good story is
told of one of the baggage masters of an
important station between Worcester
and Boston, a fat, good natured, droll fel
low, whose jokes have become quite pop
ular on the road. His name is Bill. A few
mornings since, while in the performance
of his duties in checking baggage, an.ugly
little Scotch terrier got in his. way, and
he gave him a smart kick, which sent "him
over the track, yelping. The owner of
the dog soon appeared in high dudgeon,
wanting to know why he kicked the dog.
"Was that your" dog?", asked Bill
with his usual drawl.
" Certainly it was ; what right have
you to kick him ?" .
" He's mad," said Bill.
"No, he's not mad, either, said the
owner.
" Well, I should be if anybody kicked
me in that way," responded Bill.
? ? ?
. StrUT" -A- Troy lime-dealer had upon his
books an old debt $30 against a mason
who had been unfortunate in his business.
The debtor and creditor met a few nigbts
since in the presence of quite a crowd,
and soon engaged in an argument as to
the relative merits of various masons in
the city. Lime dealer finally said to the
mason debtor, " I am not much of a
workman, but i'll bet you $20 that I can
run a better cornice than you can."
" Agreed," said the other, and the money
was put up-by both parties.
': Now," said the man of lime, " I'll bet
you $20 to $10 I win the bet." " Done,"
said the mason, and the $30 were-placed
in thc hands of thc stake-holder, with the
agreement that the parties meet the n?xt
day and decide the bet by running a cor
nice upon certain buildings that were
named. Meantime, however, the credi
tor visited the justice's court, procured
an attachment for thc money in the hands
of the stake holder, seized it, and now
has the debtoi's $30 safely stowed away
in his own c?pacious pocket. Who will
say that this is not a new way to collect
o?d debts, and a specimen of sharp prac
tice hard to beat ?
AT a Sabbath school " concert," held
in one of the prettiest towns in Western
New York, a portion of thc exercises
consisted in each scholar repealing a verse
of Scripture in which should be found
the word love. When it came to the
turn of Miss J-, a beautiful young
lady of eighteen, and " in the market,"
she was unprepared willi an answer; but
before the exercise was concluded she
remarked to her teacher that shejhad
found the verse. It was : " 1 love those
who love me, and those who seek me
