POETICAL GYMNASTICS.

MIllAGX.

An alien wind that blew and blew Over the Held wharu ripe grain grew,

Sending

ripples of shine aud shade

That crept, and crouched at her feet and played.

The sea-like summer washed tho moss Till the sun-drenched lilies hung like Hose

Draping the throne of green and gold That nursed her there like a queen of old

Was it tho hum of a bumble-bee, Or the long-hushed bugle cheerily

Winding a call to the daring prince Lost in the woou long axes since*1

A dim old wood, with a palace rare Hidden away ia its depths somewhere!

Was it the princess,

traDccd

in sleep,

Awaiting her lover's touch to leaj

Into the arms that beat aboveTo thaw his heart with the breath of love

And cloy his lips, through her waking tears, With the dead-ripe kiss of ahuudrcdyears?

An p.llen wind that blew and blew:— I Jiad blurred iny eyes as the artists do, Coaxing life to a half-sketched face, Or dreaming bloom for a grassy ^lace.

The bee Ironed on in an undertone, And,* shadow-bird trailed all alone

Across the wheat, while a liquid cry Dripped from above as it went by.

What to her was the far-off whirr Of the quail's quick wing, or the chipmunk's chirr?

What to her was the shade that slid Over tho hill where the reapers hid?

Or what the hunter, with one foot raised, As he turned to go, yet, pausing, gazod?

THE LITTLE OLD POEM THAT NOBODY READS.

Tho little old poem that nobody reads Blooms in a crowded space, Like a ground-vine blossom, BO low in the weeds

That nobody sees its face— Unless perchance, the reader's eye Stares through a yawn, and hurries by,

For no one wants, or loyes, or heeds The little old poem that nobody reads.

The little old poom that nobody reads Was written—where?—and when? Maybe a hand of goodly deeds

Thrilled as it held tho pen: Maybe the fountain whence it came Was a heart brimmed o'er with tears of shame,

And maybe it9 crced is the worst of creeds— The little old poem that nobody reads.

But, little old poem that nobody reads, Holding you here above The wound of aheart that warmly bleeds

For all that knows not love. I well believe if the old World knew As dear a friend as I find in you,

That friend would tell it that all it needs Is the little old poem that nobody reads.

HOT.

So hot that you fall asleep Over the news by mailThat a cow can't low era cfe&ken cro wt

So hot that men don't speak In a healthy, natural toae But greet as tfeey meet 1B the dusty reet

With a scarcely audifc&e groan.

A staggering rooster reels After asuiretruek fly And a hog jwst winks at an ear of corn.

Not a drop of dew bf night, Not a drop of rain by day The wells and ftlstcrns going dry,

And my soul

Under a mystic" 1 dark despair— TJnder your rich black hair.

Oft have I looked in your eyes, O, Night! Night, my Night, with your rich black hair Looked in your eyes till my face grew white. And my heart gripped, hold of a mad delight

That shrieked as I held it there, Under the waves of the deep despair— Under year rich black hair.

Just for a kiss of yo.ir mouth, O, Night— Night, my Night, with your rich bladk hair Lo! I will wait as a dead man might Wait for the judgment's dawting light,

With my lips in a frozen prayer, Under this lovable dark despairUnder ycur rich blank hair.

MARRYING FOR MONEY.

WRITTEN FOR THE GAZETTE.

"Life is a jest" was said by one Renowned for gayety. While others take a different-view

From either of the three." Long years ago, a gay, vivacious young friend and I were enjoying a quiet even ing together, when, suddenly springing to her feet and tossing aside the book she was reading, exclaimed in a most emphatic, dccided lone, "I'd rather be an old man's darling than a young man's s'ave." Ah! dear girls, what food for thought! What lives, volumes, histories, do those few words contain. At that time no heed svas taken of the thoughtless words of a «iddy girl, but after years of experience ind knowledge of the world's different people the subject gently forces itself upon my mind, and the question naturally arises, did my friend mean the darling of the old man's idolatrous heart, the object of his undivided, unselfish love, die counselor, friend, companion, wife of his fast declining years or the gilded toy, the useless play thins of the fancies of old age Or did she intend to convey the idea that she would prefer being the "darling" of the old man's purse to that of a toilsome life with & young man whom »he loved and who returned her affections? Marriages for.position and money ire more frequent every year, every day until we are inclined to think the day is not far distant^r hen respect, affection and filial love are thrown entirely nit ot the balance and money. The ^ole object of the world's devotion, still emains. Once in awhile we hear of voung girls who have been reared in the lap of luxury, having no thought, nor want, nor care for the future contractng what is considered as disgraceful narriage disgraceful in the eyes of the world, simply because it is love, ease and noney upon one -«ide, poverty, affection and toil upon the other. 'T was but last winter—if I remember ightly—wealthy, aristocratic society was shaken from centre to base, by the announcement that the accomplished, handsome, highly cultured-daughter of a high •x-official had eloped with, and married, her father's coachman. Now, I can not iay I particularly admire the taste of the yocng lady, but, at the same time, I entertain a reverential admiration for her spirit of independence ic Jaring to marry whom she chose—be he prince or peasant—in defiance of wealth, position and the willing, ever ready, loose tongue of Madame Grundy. There is as *reat deal more congeniality of thoughts and feeling between the coachman's wife and the marriageable young ladies of today, that they—the youEg ladies—are willing to admit, for who possessed of feelings of refinement, would not prefer pure lore, sympathy, just appreciation from a true, warm, manly nature one endowed with all the gifts «f noble manhood, health, strong limbs, willing hands, open heart and best of all a bright, vigorous mind ready to fight lifers battle for himself and his, prefer to assist in his toil of love, even to that extent we might call slavery, rather than chill the warm, living young life by sacrificing honor, liberty, mind and heart, bartering womafthood for money! Alas! alas, girls, remember many elegant, costly cages contain bright young prisoners to whom liberty would prove far more pleasant than the golden chains and surroundings of comfort, ease and elegance "ID palaces are hearts that ask

In discontent and pride, Why life is such a dreary task And all good things denied." Let us imagine, if we can, to what depths the feelings of disappointment, mortification, chagrin must descend, when a joyous, hopeful, young creature contracts a marriage for position only, and finds too late she is but the slave of a eapricious, whimsical, pettish old man, whom she is compelled to treat and humor as a child who is, in fact, a child the second time. The most vivid imagination cannot picture the miseries and sorrows such marriages entail. A couple of years ago a brilliant, dashing girl pf a distant city, but nineteen

THE TERRE HAUTE WEEKLY GAZETTE..

years of age, became acquainted w\th, and society thought, attached to a gentleman some forty years her senior, whose vast riches gave him. passport into the best, most cultivated society of the city, in course of time he wooed and won the child-woman, who, when awakening from her short, sweet sleep, her golden dream of an earthly paradise fully realized the step she had taken, heard the clank of the massive, galling chains she herself had woven, committed suicide. We admit such things arc sad very sad, yet we cannot wonder that it should be so. The one had lived his life, passed ir\ the pursuit ot pleasure and money. A life gone, we might say, beyond human control, beyond recall gone forever! While before the other was stretched a beautiful, living, moving, life-like panorama, nothing to obscure the bright view of a happy-unclouded future. Suddenly the lines of the rainbow are dashed to the ground, *nd in their stead a plain, black canvas rises before and confronts her as the changeless ghosts of murdered hopes, crushed aspirations, life's sweet dream, "they are all all there." Ambition prompted the marriage, deep and dark despair, the death! We cannot fail to wonder, when the wedding6 of youth and age take place, why penniless old men so seldom, if ever, claim ycung brides as their "darlings can it be that money alone is absolutely essential in obtaining the affections of the charming fairones?

But very few of our readers are not familiar with the account of an ambitiqjDs young girl of one of the eastern cities, who answered a matrimonial advertisement published in a southern paper, which led to quite an extended correspondence. Many pathetic, endearing letters passed between them, marrying was proposed and accepted, the gentleman represented himself to be the possessor of vast possessions, visions of unbounded wealth, endless acres, a mansion, carriages, houses, servants without number—a husband thrown in—held high revelry in the imagination oi the girl-stranger. The mother, wiser through experience, no doubt, proposed a tour of investigation, before placing her loyed one under the care, for life, of one she knew not, accordingly the mother, brother and bride elect, started by rail for the South, continued their journey uninterrupted until they reached a small interior town where thev were obliged to procure a private conveyance before thev could reach the home«2f this Southern nabob, jogging quietlj* along ever now and then inquiring of the neighbors concerning the would -be husband. Imagine their intense horror and disgust upon learning that he was the father *of a large family of children wholly dependent upon his daily labor for maintenance, in fact, as mere renters upon another's premises. The young lady hastily retraced her steps, a "wiser if not a sadder woman." The righteous verdict of ther world: Served her right. Why should any woman thus sacrifice herself? Does duty or pride demand it? Again, dear girls, before I close my already too long article, let tne whisper a word of warn ing. Never—under any circumstances— no matter how fair the sjdes look, nor how dark the clouds seem—marry any man who does not command your high est respect, admiration, last but not least, your pure, true love. Heed the advice of her who is older, if not wiser—of one who knows of what shn speaks. "Look v:ell before you leap." M. E. F.

WHY EVE DID NOT KEEP HIRED GIRL. A lady writer in one of our exchanges furnishes some of the reasons why Eve did not keep a hired girl. She says:

There has been a great-deal said About the faults of women and why they -need so much waiting on. Some one (a man, of course) has the presunpption to ask, ''why, wihen Eve was manufactured of a spare rib, a servant was not made the same time, to wait upon her?" She didn't need any. A bright writer has said Adam never came whining to Eve with a raggeatotocking to be darned, buttons to be sewed on. gloves to be mended, "right *away—quick—»w/!" because he never read the news papers umtil the sun went down behind the palm-trees, and he, stretching himself, yawced out: "Isn't supper ready, my dear." Not he. He uaade the fire and hung the kettle over to himself, we'll venture, and pulled the radishes, .peeled the potatoes, and did everything, else he ought toio. He milked tiie cows, fed the chickens, and looked after the pigs himself, and never brought Lalf a .dozen friends to dinner when Eue hadn't any fresh pomegranates. He newer stayed out till 11 o'cieck at night, and then scold ed because oor Eve was sitting up and crying inside the gates. He never, leafed around coroer groceries while Eve-was rocking little Cain's cradle at-home. He did not call Eve up from the cellar to,get his slippers .and put them ic the corner where he left them. Not he. When he took them offthe put them urader the/fig tree beside hk Sunday boots. In short, he did not think she was espeoially creat ed for the purpose of waiting oa him,and he wasn't utwier the impression that .h disgraced a man to lighten a wife's cares a little. That's the reason Eve did not need a hired girl, and with & was the, reason her fair dsscendants did.

THE .CUCUMBER.

Crushing Testimonials in of the Veget

Napoleon'at Dickens' Views.

Favor

What the Poet Milton Says the Plant.

This is the season of the year when the cucumber rears its proud head above the soil of the garden, and when everynewspaper man who wants some object on which to vent his malice takes up his pencil and writes:— "The undertakers haven't been in such good humor for years. Reason) why—the cucumber crop is unprecedented."

Is the cucumber a dangerous enemy to society at large? Unthinking|men will promptly answer in the affirmative, Nine-tenths of the population in America will pass the query in silence, believing that it answers itself. It has long been the theory [of the GAZETTE that the early cucumber was an abused vegetable but the time was not ripe, until few days ago, to advance proofs and figures. Care has been taken to hunt up the very highest opinions of the dead and the living, and the attention of fel low journalists, the medical fraternity and the public generally is invited to the following array of opinions:—

MILTON,, THE POET.

'•I do not assert that my success as a poet is entirely owing to my fondness for early cucumbers, but I do believe that such vegetables have added to my physical strength and in a measure aided to develop my taental powers. IJprefer them cut up in vinegar, "but have nothing to

Bay

CHARLES DICKENS.

Mr. Dickens did not leave any written opinion on the merits ot cucumbers, but it is a well known fact that he raised them in tis garden, and hib most delightful morning walk comprised the circuit of hie cucumber patch. If he had been an enemy to the vegetable, lie would na#st certainly have some of his heroes die of cucumber colic.

ABDUL AXIZ.

This deceased gentleman, whose death by a pair of very-email scissors occurred.*: long time si not, was a staunch advocate «of cucumber culture. Having 600 wives, he planned -at one time to give each one a garden patch to care for, but «ome opposition on the the part of the Ministry caused thim to abandon the ideacf supplying Europe with garden truck. He firmly believed that cucumbers coald be educated up the point of growicg on .trees, and more than onoe he eernarked that Turkey would ye1 see the day when there would be blue and red' well as greec, cucumbers., Whenever he found a Turk who didn't hanker after the vegetable, he bounced the infidel across the territoral line with neatness acd despatch, or, better yet shaved his 1 head off.

PRESIDENTS.

Every American Prewient except Taylor and Grant, have been the true friends of the cucumber. Some have eaten more and some less, but each one was ever willing to throw aside the 6urdensome cares of State for an hour end enter into a discussion with anv farmer or medical man on the merits and demerits of the long green vegetable. It has been assertjdnei that Thomas Jefferson never offered an official position

having first ascertained that he wa6 a firm friend of slioed cucumbers. General Grant has not been intdWiewed on the subject, but it is the general opinion throughout the New England States that he will cultivate them extensively next year.

STATESMEN.

Henry ^Claj6"Put /me down for cu cumbers every dfcyjin the year, and give me liberty or give me death."

Daniel Webster:— "I see Clay sorder and go a dozen cucumbers better. Cucumbers are a motive power lo pushman on to fame and fortune."

Calhoun—"Scorn my name despise my words and malign my jmotives but don't steal my early cucumber*."
