ORIGINAL POETRY Fov-the Anderson Intelligencer. WAITING. This Trailing; Ihta siting for something nnkaow>, Tab try ing to peer into things unrevealed, Wiih nothing to do but drone, idly drone? What -wonder if heart, mind and soul are congealed ? Nothing to do! what desert more dreary Than life without action?than life without rest ? For rest is the price of the work of the weary, They earn it, enjoy it?deservedly blest. Oh, "tears, Idle tears," sounceasiagly flowing, How vain 1?your mission! you deluge the soil; But seed idly sown only husks are bestowing? Richharvests are yielded as fruitage of toiL Par out In the distance tho reapers are ttaping, How gaily they singras they gamer the sheaves! Yet the angel above, who the record Is keeping, Records for me nothing, no, nothing bat teavesv. The crown forme waiting no brighter is gleaming Than when ft was formed of t]<e heavenly gold, Jfaetax has been added to heighten its beaming Since first I iKslieved the "sweet story of old." There's a sigh In the heart, a continual sighing For work in the busy arena of life; The world Is no myth, and the moments are flying Yet Idle 1 sit in the midst of the strife. The future seems Wank, but it rot si not be wasted; Some sunligU will brighten the passage so dark; Perchance this, the bitterest cup I hare tasted, Will fan in a blare what has been but a spark. But meanwhile the waiting, with hinds loosely folded A youth spent in vain?oh, how. ciieerless it seems! A proud, restless soul must in patience be moulded; Realities form a stein sequel to dreams. LOLA. * v - Free Passes on Bailroads? Mr. Thomas Allen, the President of the Iron Monntwm -Bailroad, recently sent, in accord? ance with established usags, tree passes over | Iiis line to the hundred and fifty or two hun? dred members of the Missouri Legislature, (of J course, free passes are sent no where else ex? cept in Missouri.) One of ;he members, with a ^more sensitive conscience than his brother . Scions, TCtariied his piece of pasteboard, with a letter to the donor, and in his epistle read the offending official a pretty sharpe lecture on fche immorality of his conduct, interspersed with apt quotations from the Scriptures con? cerning bribery and the taking of gifts. Mr. Allen, as soon as he was able to get the better of his astonishment, wrote a reply so good humored in its bits and so sensible in its views, that we republish it entire. The railroad President proves that he can quote Scripture as welt as his correspondent, and that he can quote it to some purpose. It will amply repay perusal: Sir?I have received your letter of February 14, returning a pass over the Iron Mountain Bailroad whieh bad been given you in common with other members of the Legislature. You state that, as the members are paid mile? age by the State, you see no reason why rail? roads should also furnish them transportation free, and that it has a tendency to demoralize the Legislature. You refer me to sundry texts of Scripture from which I learn that "every j one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards." That "thou shalt take no gift, for the gift bllndeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous." And that "fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery." ? While giving yon credit for delicacy of con-1 science, and an apparently uncommon amount of virtue, I beg leave to claim for railroad ? officers generally that they do not give passes out of pure wickedness, but from a generous 1 desire to grant what'is asked for, to disarm prejudice; secure peace and appease threatened wrath. It is a custom they hate, and wish it .were "more honored in the beach than the observance." In the case of the Legislature, the list of members is invariably sent down by the clerk, and the passes for members and offi? cers requested. The consequences of attempt? ing to limit them is a matter of recent notoriety. If railroads happen to send a pass to a man with as keen perception of propriety-as vour ?1J?fr they ''a?-**wicked;" if they don't'seed them on request to others, they are simply "mean," and retaliation immediately raises its crest. s As you have quoted Scripture, I am reminded . of the 26th verse of the 24th chapter of Acts, hut do not refer to it as having any application to you personally. St. Paul had reasoned of] "righteousness, temperance and judgment to eome," aifd ;JFjelbc^ the governor, trembled and let him go; but the governor "hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul." Felix was the great progenitor and model of jpqdern black-mailers. Let a body ask for 'simply justice, and much more for a favor of any political power, and anon mailed knights spring into the way and interpose their objec? tions, "hoping that money should be given them," to take, themselves off. Let a man of ? public spirit and enterprise attempt to do a freat good, which, if successful, might make im the envy of the wicked, how quickly is .there a pack at his heels attempting to levy toll upon every step of his progress! If he feels constrained to buy peace and freedom, -should he be accused of covenanting with in? iquity ? I do not Intend to insinuate that any Legislature is actuated by any other motives than those of patriotism in the present epidemic of opposition to railways, but I do think that it savors of injustice to offer certain franchises in consideration of the building of railways, ? invite the giving of passes, and then arraign them as monsters of wickedness for accepting the oner and the invitation. Railways are amenable, of course, to law and justice, and they are-governed by instincts similar to those of natural persons. It is their interest to en? courage traffic over their lines., and they are, . therefore, interested in making tihem attractive and popular. It is their interest to establish reasonable rates',' and to afford fair accommo? dations; and to* keep their roads and appurten? ances in good order. If they should be extor? tionate or dangerous, they will l>e avoided. If they should happen to make a large profit that fact will induce competition, and the laws of trade will regulate the whole matter, and the public will get the largest and best accommo? dations at the lowest living rales. I beg leave to add that you aud four other gentlemen, two of them of s. date long since East, are the only cases I ever heard of, in my >ng experience, in which a i?ense of delicacy induced a return of a railroad pass. Two of them were net members of tbo Legislature. I have been disposed to honor them for the pos? session of consciences so sensitive, though the passes were given for the sake of courtesy and compliment, and not for purchase. Indeed, I should despise any man who could be bought at all, and especially so cheaply as by the gift of a railroad pass; and I cannot believe that wise men can be blinded, or their judgment perverted, by a consideration so diminutive ana contemptible. I have much respect for the government and its members, whether executive, legislative or judicial, and I have faith that they are gener? ally incorruptible and untainted. There are falling stars and eccentric orbits, and some? times showers of falling stars in the heavens, like those we have recently observed in the political firmament; but generally the orbs stand firm and give a 'steady light. "Thou shalt take no gift, was a very early command? ment, and it is to be lamented that the highest example in our country had not afforded an il? lustration of virtuous obedience, so that ordi? nary persons might have profited by it. But now so it is, we may hope that the present storm of /oiling stars will have an important effect in clearing the political atmosphere, so that we shall all breathe purer and healthier air hereafter. In moral turpitude, the giver and receiver of bribes are equal; and either would swear to a lie. If our Congress aud Legislatures would purge themselves of all such, we should have more respect for government and more faith in the future. As for free passes on railroads, I state my own feeling, and doubtless that of most of the railroads of the United States, that it is a sys? tem which ought to be abolished. As the franking privilege was a burden to the Post Office Department, so is this system oppressive to railroads. On some tue abuse of it has gone as high as fifteen per cent, of their passenger business. Everybody clamoring for a reduction of rates is interested iE getting lid of dead? heads. All railroads pa; liberally for all they get. It would be no more than justice that those who use railrords should likewise pay a fair equivalent for the service rendered by the .railroads. And if such a law is necessary, I have no'doubt it would be agreeable to the railroads that the Legislature should make it a penal offense for a Stale officer, a member of the Legislature, a judge, a circuit attorney, or clerk of court, or a member of a city council, to accept a free pass on a railroad, or to accept a ticket at a less price than is charged the pub lie generally for like service. In other words, that railroads, in their passenger service (legis? lature is trying it on freights,) should not dis? criminate in favor of public officers and mem? bers of the Legislature. And, as a further protection to passengers, that it should be made a penal offense to salt cattle on a railroad track or Dreak down railroad fences or to drive blind, sick and crippled animtils on such track, for the purpose of getting such stock killed, in order to make a home market at high prices for blooded, stock. Protect, railroads against dead heads, obstructions of trains, vio!taters of rules, blackmailers and thieves, and they could be conducted with more economy and safety and at reduced rates for transportation. Be? lieving you to be a good man, as you are evi? dently a reader of the Scriptures, may I not ask you, in the words of Isaiah, to "cry aloud and spare not;4ift up thy voice like a trumpet and snow my people their transgression and the house of Jacob their sins." Very respect? fully, your obedient servant, John Allen. What are They??The seven wonders of the world are among the traditions of child? hood, and yet it is a remarkable fact that nine? ty-nine persons out of a hundred who might be asked the question could not name them. They are the Pyramids?the mystery of the past, the enigma of the present, and the enduring for the future ages of the world. The temple, the walls and'hanging gardens of Babylon, the most celebrated city 01 Assyria, and the residence of the kings of that country after the destruction of jtfinereh. The Chryseleph lline statue of Ju? piter Olympius, the most renowned work of Phidias, the illustrious artist of Greece. The statue was formed of gold, and- was sitting on a throne almost touching the summit of the tem? ple, which was 70 feet high. The temple of Diana at Ephesus, which was 220 years in building, and which was 425 feet in length and 220 in breadth, and supported by 127 marble columns of the Ionic order, 60 feet high. The mausoleum at Halicarnusses, erected in the memory of Mansolus, the King of Caira, by his wife Artemesia, B. C. 353. The Pharos at Alexandria, a lighthouse erected by Ptolemy Soter, at the entrance of the harbor of Alexan? dria. ' It was 450 feet high, and could be seen at a distance of one hundred miles, and upon which was inscribed "King Ptolemy, to the fods, the saviours, for the benefit of soldiers." lastly, the Collossus at Rhodes, a brazen image of Appollo, 105 Grecian feet in height, and which was to be located at the entrance of one of the harbors of the city of Rhodes. The Anderson, Aiken, Port Royal and Charleston Railroad.?This railroad, which was chartered at the recent session of the Leg? islature, is, we are reliably informed, likely to be built very soon. Parties possessing the mains are ready to take hold of the enterprise, and assist the people in building the road. Besides, it is stated, that large numbers of peo? ple in the counties through which the road passes are ready to subscribe to the stock of ' the road. The road runs through Anderson to Abbeville Court House, Edgefield Court House, Aiken and so on to Port Royal and thence to Charleston. Parties well posted, sny that $100,000 worth of stock would be at once subscribed in Abbeville County alone, if the books were opened. The charter of this road is a liberal one. It: runs through one of the richest cotton growing and most salubrious portions of the State, and would soon build up a local trade of great value, besides being an important link in the network of roads now building or soon to be constructed. The building of this road will give employment to thousands of men, develop the resources of the section through which it Iiasses, add millions of dollars to the value of ands along the route, and increase the busi? ness, wealth and power of the State.?Columbia Union. ? A .recently-married man, coming home rather late the other night, took an- umbrella from the rack in the hall and proceeded to his room. The grieved and indignant wife opened her eves, and seeing her husband supporting himself by the foot-board with one hand, and holding an umbrella spread over his head with the other, cried in astonishment: "What are yon doing? Are you crazy?" "No," said he in an unsteady voice, "but?hie?I supposed theie'd be a storm?hie?and so I've come pre? pared for it." ? A man in Shelby County, Tenn., was re? cently granted a divorce from his mother-in-law, who he had married in the ignorance of the act being illegal. His wife had died, leaving a young family, for whom the mother had shown great affection, and the man married her with the hope of promoting the happiness of his children. On learning the impropriety of their conduct, both parties sued for a divorce, which was granted. ? Henry Clay once accused John Randolph of being an aristocrat. In a voice whose shrill, Eiercing tones penetrated every ear in the louse, Randolph exclaimed: "If a man is known by the company he keeps the gentle? man who just sat down is more of an aristocrat than I claim to be; for he spends most of the nights in the company of kings and queens and knaves." ? "It is poor work," George Eliot makes one of her characters say, "allays settin' the dead above the livin'. We shall all on us be dead some time, I reckon?it ud be better if folks ud make much on us beforehand, instead o' beginnin' wheu we're gone. It's but little good you'll do a watering the last year's crop." ? Borax is a useful article to have about. A half pound of it will drive the cockroaches out of any house. A large handful of the powder to ten gallons of water will effect a saving of fifty per cent, in soap. It is an excellent den trifice, and the best material for cleansing the scalp. ? To show how much the working of raw material affects its usefulness, some one ar? ranged the following: A bar of iron, worth $5, worked into horse shoes, is worth ?10.50; made into needles, it is worth $355; made into pen kuiJe blades, it is worth$384; and into balance springs of watches, it is worth $230,000. ? A Connecticut boy, just learning to read, asked his father what Credit Mobilier was, "It's our national game, my boy," replied the father, who was looking ahead. "You'll be able to play it when you get big enough and go to Congress." All Sorts of Paragraphs. ? What grows bigger the more you contract it? Debt. ? Hotel keepers are people we have to "put up with." ? Heart diseitse is becoming the leading national ailment . - ? When may a ship at sea be said not to be on water ? When she is on fire. ? Nine months of the year in Nebraska is summer, and the rest is mighty late in the spring. ? If a ventriloquist throws his voice away from him, how can he expect to carry on his profession ? ? Use turnen sine freely down the back as soon as the first symptoms of meningitis are manifest. ? The bed to be avoided, next to an onion bed, is probably the bed of the river?unless one is partial to sheets of water. ? Barnum is trying to secure, for bis show, a man who does not blame his wife for every? thing that goes wrong about the house. ? New Orleans newsboys increase their profits by sellirg old newspapers to colored members of the Legislature without being de? tected. ? When children are blessed with correct and wholesome examples, they need not read so many books to know what is right and proper. ? Go to strangers for charity, to acquaintan? ces for advice, to relatives for nothing, and you will always hav<i a supply?especially of advice and nothing. ? A prophet aas been traveling in Kentucky announcing the destruction of the world in 1878. He pays his own expenses and asks for no contribution*. ? A sweet little boy, only eight years old bless its little heart?walked into the scene of a teacher's examination at Oswego last week, and bawled out: "Annie, your feller is down to the house I" ? After the fifth year it is a good rule for parents to count their children's teeth occasion? ally, and when more than five teeth are found on either jaw, tbey may know that the last one belongs to the second set. ? A police officer in Lowell, Mass., who got drunk and assaulted his wife with a revolver in ] each band, knocking her down eight times, is spoken of as "a very respectable man." They have strange standards of respectability in Lowell. . J ? An old Palmyra, Indiana, farmer, lately perdicted that d jer would be as plenty as sheep in that vicinity this winter. This gave an impetus to the iimmunition trade, until some one searching ufter mutton ascertained that there were only two sheep in the county. ? The first cotton mill ever established in the Northwest was opened in Jon es vi lie. Michi? gan, a few days ago. The occasion was cele? brated by a ball and banquet, which was at? tended by 600 persons. The company has a capital of $100,000, and is engaged in the manufacture of brown sheetings. ? Monticello. the estate of Thomas Jeffer? son, subsequent]y owned by Commodore Levy, and by the latter bequeathed in trust for a farm school for the oiphans sons of warrant officers in the navy, is cow in litigation at Richmond, between the State of Virginia as trustee and heirs of Commodore Levy. ? For preserving hams and shoulders, take ground black pepper?a quarter of a pound will do for two hundred weight, though a little more or less will do no harm; sprinkle first j with pepper until black, and then salt in the usual way. This method of preserving meat adds much to its flavor. ? "What's the matter with Augustus?" asked one friend of another. "He's gone in? sane 1" "Bless mel how happened that?" "Why, you see, he parts his hair in the middle, ' and the other day he happened to get five more hairs on one fide than on the other, and the inequality overthrew the balance of his brain." ? It would bo very encouraging to the Good Templars, to be informed by the local papers, that the city of Columbia had "1,000,000 gal? lons of water on hand," if it were not a strong indication that the people of that city had en? tirely abandoned the use of that fluid as a bev? erage. For washing purposes, however, we be? lieve it is still used to a limited extent. ? A Western paper has the following: "A lady writes to know if it is proper?ii it is lady like?to retaliate by squeezing back when a man squeezes her hand. Well, you might squeeze easy?jest enough to let him know that you are not disposed to be mean about it. But don't turn round and ask him, 'How is that for high?' or he might think you too forward." ? Dennison, Texas, was a wilderness five months ago. Row it has a population of forty I five hundred; houses are going up in all di? rections ; its struts are one hundred feet wide; a hotel containing one hundred rooms is nearly completed, and here are three banks, an opera house, and an immense freight depot. ? Dr. J. & Barnwell, of Beaufort, S. C, is now visiting the Northern cities for the purpose 1 of bringing the . acts of the advantages of seri? culture before the manufacturers interested in silk, with p. view of establishing a silkworm nursery at Beaufort. In colonial times this was a business of great profit in South Carolina. ? Mr. ?. N. Davis, a Mississippi planter, having a large tract of unproductive land on his hands, did not sit down and bemoan the hard times and growl at the negroes, but quiet? ly divided it up into small farms, erected little comfortable houses on each, then secured twelve families . rom North Carolina to occupy them, and already is rejoicing in the success of his experiment ? General Colston, formerly of the Confed? erate army, and at present in charge of a mili? tary school in Wilmington, has been offered by the Khedive of Egypt charge of the Milita? ry Academy at Cairo, and, besides, a place on the staff of General Stone, an old Federal soldier who is serving in that country, the two positions being worth about four thousand dol? lars in gold.
