For tbe Watchmen.
The Watchman.
It cannot be so Terj haul, .
Just once, for Watchman's Umreate bard
To rhyme about the Watchman ;
Who many a verse in school-house slough
And more composed behind the plow,
Like Bobby Burns the Scotchman,
WitlFE. P. H." on signet line,
Since boyish days of '49,
For minioned poet's corner
Of old Rowan's tenacious sheet,
In life all rivals having beat,
Like hardy Jacky Horner.
Right well I recollect the day
When I, a little boy at play
On banks of Yadkin river,
Made up a little piece of rhyme,
In onr postofBce dropped in time,
Just mainly to discover
If it was barely possible
For ? W
Myself in print to see, sir;
And when the Watchman printed it,
To father I never hinted it,
Lest duly he:d tin ash me, sir !
Well, that's enough about myself ;
Now let good ego take the shelf,
And trot out Brunei's Watchman ;
Competitors may come nud go,
But ever swimmiug sure and slow
Like Knickerbocker Dutchman,
It breasts the gale and rides the storm,
The same old steady printer form
Unswerving, calm, benignant :
The fires of war have burnt it out,
Sometimes it feels financial gout;
But e'er with life it's pregnant.
Slow as the tortoise oft it seems ;
But while your hare in happy dreams
Is lost, and wordy vapor,
Brief-spoken, firm and steady goes
With constant step, 'mid friends and foes,
This dauntless old newspaper,
And leaves your hare so far behind
She wakes amazed in time to find.
The Watchman's gone ahead, sir !
'The constant drop will wear the stone,
The slow and sure in time get on,"
V hen flashy sheets are dead, sir !
)ear Watchman, sentry of the right,
ong live, to "tell us ef the night"
Our nation's life surrounding ;
ong may we hear your honest voice
iejoicing when the good rejoice,
And many a rogue confounding !
May your familiar face e'er shine,
With homely wisdom iii each lino
And moral influence certain !
And Watchman on your final tomb,
May Chanty'it sweet flow'ret's bloom
Let fall its silken curtain !

Monday night, Dec. 31st, 1883
Lat. 32 59' N., Lon. 47 02' V.
A night in every respect worthy to
witness the death of the year. A
wild Western gale is howling astern,
driving the great ship through the
Stygian waters. Wit u the phantom
like piles of canvas gleaming in the
ghastly light of a cloud ridden moon
she speeds along like the spirit of the
dying year.
Thundering after us come rolling
mountains from whose dark crests
flash brilliant creen phosphorescent
lights, like twinkling fires far up a
mountain's side.
Occasionally one of these great bil
lows leaps over the bulwarks and
rushing from side to side looks like
flashes of imprisoned lightning. Un
der the bows there is a constant deaf
ening roar as of thunder as the ship
valiantly plunges her prow into the
seething mass of opposing waters.
See how gallantly she cuts the on-
ishing waves, dashing them into
atoms of gleaming, snowy foam,
which drifts sujlenly astern to min
gle with other vanquished billows in
her blazing wake ! Outside the cir
cle of foam the black waters look
still blacker, while here and there a
dolphin flashes through the depths
like an arrow of fire. And still the
west wind howls its dismal dirge, and
still the ship speeds on, borne by the
wings of the gale o er the curling
crtsts of the night-hued waves. In
imagination 1 see Hying past on the
rushing wind the sins, the sorrows,
the hideous .crimes and the bitter
tears of the year that is past, fleeing
from the adventof hisstainless succes

Lon. 43 52' W. Crash ! Dash !
Splash ! Something like that saluted
my ears on New Year's morning as
I lay, sleepily rubbing my eyes.
While I was debating with myself
whether to get up and investigate
the cause of the unseemly racket or
return to the embrace of Morpheus
and leave old Nep to his holiday
pranks a sudden lurch of the ship
shot me over the edge of the bunk
and spilled me into the wash stand.
When I managed to extricate myself
there was a scene worthy of Male
bolge or any other disagreeable place.
Dishes smashing, waves dashing.
Steward and cook rushing frantically
around. The marine culinary was in
such a state of devastation as is sel
dom secu. My state room went rav
ing crazj. Every thingw as iu a chron
ic state of transformation. Now I
stood on my head, and uow on my
feet ; now I sat on my trunk, again

gymnastics in the basin, having giv-
en up the weather as utterly hopeless; !
my mirror was playing "leap frog"
with a pair of sea hoots.. A vely
young "Webster's Unabridged" .
spread its leaves and sailed gaily
from its shelf, impressed with the
idea that it could fly, while a pious
water bottle administered the rites of
baptism to a pair of pants in a corner.
Breakfast under such circumstances
was a lively and informal meal.
Chesterfieldian table manners were
"de Imp." We were precipitated
from one end of the sofa to the other
with surprising rapidity; reached for
the sugar bowl and got a handful of
butter ; started a spoonful of porridge
in the way it should go, but involun
tarily changed our mind and depos
ited it in our eye ; concluded by has
tily swallowing half a cup of choco
late and emptying the remainder with
graceful abandon into our lap. Din
ner is a repetition of breakfast, only
more so. Dishes and attendants fly
frantically around, the former skil
fully eluding, the latter excitedly
pursuing. Soup is utterly unmana
geable ; the meat starts West to grow
up with the country, but is intercept
ed by the expectant canine, to whom
this viaudary commotion is a God
send. On deck the scene is lively and
stirring enough. The main deck is
knee deep in water which rushes
fromfcide to side. The geese protest
loudly against such proceedings, and
the pigs are hoarse witk incessant
coir plain ings. The starboard yard
arm tuaks a dive into the depths, then
the port goes down. At every roll
the masts describe an arc of 120
against the sky and at every plunge
you would imagine that we had dis
covered a short cut to China and
were bent on exploring it.
But everybody is in a good humor
(the unfortunate members of the culi
nary department excepted) and every
body looks cheerful for it is a "fair
wind" that is causing all this commo
tion and its pranks are readily par
doned since every frantic roll increas
es our distance from Columbia's
shores and every wild plunge brings
us correspondingly nearer to the land

Saturday, Jan. 12. Lat. 35 18'
N., Lon. 32 4G' W. What a vast
difference in ones calculations will
eight days of head winds and calms
make. Last Saturday we expected
to pass the staits of Gibralta to-day.
Instead of that we are sixty miles
further from them than we were then.
All the past week the weather has
been putting our patience to the
strongest test, and to-day having
reached the the Ultima Thuleof con
trariety the winds are sleeping the
satisfied sleep of a conqueror. To
look at the scene now one would
imagine that waves and storms were
only the creations of a poetic imagi
nation. Around by lifting winds forgot,
Resignedly beneatli the sky
The melaucholoy waters lie.
For no ripples curl, alas !
Along that wilderness of glass.
No swellings tell that winds may be
Upon some far off happier sea.
No hearings tell that winds hare been
On scenes less hideously serene.
Here, broiling in the sun, we lie,
"going with the heart, but with the
body stand iner still." as Dante ex-
presses it. At no other time do men
realize so fully their insignificance,
their utter helplessness, as in that

Louisville Courier Journal.
Every man in the United States
who wears cloths and pays lor them
should read this :
The New York Times publishes a
comparison of the difference in the
prices in New York aud London of
men's clothing, which no fair minded
reader can consider without acknowl
edging the injustice of the outrageous
svstem that makes such a difference
possible. ' '
For instance, a broad cloth dress
suit which costs $50 in New York
costs only $22 in Loudon.
A heavy business suit which costs
$30 in New York costs only $13 in
London.
A spring serge overcoat which costs
$20 in New York costs only $8.50 in
London.
A winter beaver overcoat which
costs $35 in New York costs but
$14.50 in London.
A silk hat which costs $5 in New
York costs but $3 in London.
These articles altogether cost in
New York $140. In London they
cost but $61. The man who buys
these cloths, therefore, in New York
pays $79 more for them than
could buy them for in London.

What causes this difference in
prices of the two cities ?
Our tariff'.
No one will dispute that, with the
tariff removed, the same goods could
be purchased as cheaply in New York
as iu London, at least as cheaply plus
the freight rates between the two
cities.
The man who pays, therefore, $140
for clothes iu New York really buys
$61 worth of clothes, on which he
pays $79 taxes.
And where do these taxes tro?
If the goods are manufactured in
this country, not on cent reaches the
treasury. It is simply $79

man who makes cloth.
If l he goods are manufactured
abroad, $79 goes to a treasury which
does not need it.
In either case the purchaser of the
clothes gets absolutely nothing for
the $79 of the $140 which he spends.
If on buying the clothes he had to
pay $61 to the clothier, and $79 di
rectly to the tax collector, how long
would he stand such extortion ?
In result there is not a particle of
difference between that system and
the present tariff system according to
which he is thus unnecessarily and
exorbitantly taxed, not only in his
clothing but on nearly every other
necessity of life.
How long will the people of a coun

When a pack of negroes gather to
gether in the Court House of this
county in a political meeting, and
abuse the white people who pay
about all the taxes for the education
of the negroes and for their mainten
ance in the charitable institutions of
the State, it proves that they have
precious little gratitude or even
sense of propriety. The colored popu
lation does not pay a one-hundreth
part of the taxes for the support! of
our City Graded Schools or the Pub
lic Schools of the county, yet they
abuse and slander the whites who do
pay them. Their behaviour shows an
impudence and virulence that is inex
cusable. Their disgraceful conduct
in a political meeting in this city on
Saturday last shows that they are
un6t to hold office or for self-govern
ment. Of course there are a few ex
ceptions, but they are very few.
