May many, many such days return to you before the final summons. ' Whilst enjoying the present let it be in moderation, and forget not the ministry of mercy. The poor are around you. Suffering and sorrow and poverty fall to the lot of many of the children of men. " To do good is a virtue and ought to be a pleas ure. Again we say toe very reader of thejSTAB, A Mebby Christmas ! Some one has said that the world knows nothing of its greatest men. This is true to a great extent. There are in every country and in every State men in every way equal to those who are most prominent. In many instances the men who are living in retirement are intellectually and morally superior to those who stand at the footlights upon the stage of . action and receive the plaudits of the indiscriminating millions who sit in the boxes and in the pit.-' In alL ages there have been "mute, inglo-' rious Miltons," as in the grave yards are lying 'Tiearts once pregnant with celestial fire," "Who the' rod of nipires might have swayed Or waked to ecstacy the living lyre.' After men sleep in their narrow house then praise comes or recogni tion, but too late. If the kindly, ap preciative, sympathetic words had been spoken to the throbbing heart racked by agony and beating the music of despair, instead of to the "dull, cold ear of death" when all is over and no earthly solace can be of any use, how much better it had been. Oh, that men would be more prompt to recognize the good in others J Ob, '-the rarity of Christian charity under the sun!" In this time of holiday enjoyments it will be a good thing to begin to learn the les sons of neighborly kindness and of gentleness and forbearance. We publish to-day a portion of an admirable article that appeared in the last number of the PhilaflATnWa American. It is upon a Southern poet a man of exquisite genius who lived and died to a great extent "un wept, unhonored and unsung." It was our privilege in 1876, to write an article ;on a production of this dead, poet that was mercilessly slaughtered in that year by news - paper writers. Wje are glad that we saw more in it than many other editors were able tot see. Our words were warmly "appreciative of the ex cellence ;Xof the performance, ' and thron ffh all the years that have pass ed since we .have not failed ta speak ontwhen occasion offered in behalf of the pure And admirable, gifts of this dead Southron who passed away almost in life's spring time before his high powers had fully developed and the richest fruitage of an exquisite genius had ripened and been gath ered. . This dead poet is almost a stranger to our Southern people although he was born in the South,loved the South, fought for the South. ' AjGeorgian by nativity, his genius is the proper ty of no one State, but is the heritage of all. He sleeps inan early grave the victim of neglect, of poverty, of disease. But his fame is extending. To-day among people of true culture and poetic sympathy he stands far above a host of men who have the world's ear, and who 'are piping all the day long. In England he is be coming known. In the North, among people of refinement and literary training, he is a favorite. His genius is regarded as unique, as genuine, as beantiful. He knew how to match thought to words with a charming art, and he could body forth his high imaginings in the most select language and with a rythm and melody that was worthy of the masterful singers of the world. But among his own people, for the most part, he walked a stranger. His wonderful gifts were under a great shadow. ' His people knew not that a genius of rare endowment was among them. He died, and they cared not, for they were wholly ignorant of the great bereavement, of the sad loss they had sustained. They saw no diamond laid away, but a dull paste like thing that shone only In bor rowed light. So - it has been, before and so it-wai be4: again. The truly great. JatirtS the , truly good go hence,4.nd the Hrorldicnows not what a prined among men has dwelt in it. Bftt the good as well as the great of ten -leaYe both memory and good deeds behind them. In the . great desert the caravan laden ' with rich spices and precious perfume passes on and disappears, but the delightful aroma lingers behind its pathway and fills the air long afterward with its delicious fragrance. So with the true poet and the good man. They pass away but their works survive. To day we sit by the hearthstone and commune with "those dead and scep tered sovereigns."

It contains a delightful and sympathetic Memorial sketch by William Hayes Ward. BAD MEN ATWOBK. The Washington correspondent of the New York Times writes on the 21st that there are some bad men who are trying to influence Cabinet appointments. The correspondent writes: ' "A well-known Democrat hn in lfi7fi was Drominentlv rnnnpr-tprl vith tVi TiMm campaign, said yesterday. If you will look ClOSelV intO the historv flf munv nf tha man pressed for Cabinet offices' under Cleveland. jruu wm uou mat. iney are nacsea by pre ciselv the same crani-s nf hlrwIcnVam onri jobbers who have basked in the sunshine oi oiuciai iavor unaer republican rule. Mr. Cleveland will have to look out for them. Thev can afford in. and rin amnlnv the smartest advocates in the land to con- quci tneir business for them, and only the strictest scrutiny of these scheming patriots will prevent Cleveland from taking them up, only to find that he has warmed a nest of vipers and made a false step at the out set of his career as President." ; We do not believe that Mr. Cleve land will be much influenced by the disreputable blood-suckers and ever lasting jobbers. He may be deceived in some instances and may make bad appointments, but we do not expect that this will occur as to his Cabinet. If he should by mistake or through imperfect informationjor byjmisrepre- sentation put an unworthy man in his Cabinet he would have to order him out or there, would be a general racket. A Reform Administration must have honest and high toned and truthful men in - its Cabinet. The President will make blunders, just as his predecessors have donevin some of his other appointments, but members of the Congress will be re sponsible, , for it will be owing to their.;, representations that they are made, it is said, that the "bad men" are specially anxious to get their men in charge of the Postmaster General and Secretary of the Interi or's ofiTces. The Times says edito rially: ... "Active and expert representatives of these 'gangs' were to be found in the inner circle of managers in charge of Mr. Blaine's canvass, and they labored for his election with a zeal born of a complete understand ing of his character. But these men' have no politics, and their quiet efforts to secure an adequate representation of - their large interests' in Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet have been remarked upon in Washington and in this city and. we believe, at Albany;" '' " ' .. - - . :rT:-?::-''' The Life Saving Service is render ing splendid service at this time of storms and wrecks and loss of life. It is impossible to change the face of nature and make Hatteras and other joints less destructive of property, but ilu is possible to arrest the' de strnctiveness of human life, and this is being bravely done by thehardy: and v heroic men who belong ; to the Life Saving Service. ThaV" branch of the Service ought to be extended and f ostered,and"the: men" who;- so often risk lift $ and iVaVe to;e jjlosV th emsel veso m ach -ough t-to be well cared forand welff ewardSd. IuANI TITIiKS. 1 The opinion is well grounded-that there are" defects, in our StateiJlaws that retard immigration and prevent' the incoming of capital, r That ; waJ clearly,; illustrated in the case of Col, Burgwyn, of Henderson, Yance coun?' ty. We gave months ago the facts in the case. He "was about -to' bring capital from Boston into his") section of Carolina, : to aid . tte f armerby giving them loans at a low rate of interest, but the attorney of the. 13osV; tomans, "after - examining our -laws, advised against sending capital this wayi Our legal friends in the Legis lature should look into ; this matter and apply a remedy. ' The editor of the Warrenton Gazette is a la wyer.j In the last number of his paper he says of the oomplicated condition of land titles:" '' : "Among the practical matters which the Legislature should grapple with is the con dition of our land titles in North Carolina. The statute which has been on the books for a century requires that deeds shall be registered within two years, and without registration they cannot be given in evi dence. This is the law but each Legisla ture extends the period for registration two years, so that a - aeea can be registered at any time, no matter when made. ..The re sult of this practice ia to postpone' registra tions so that many deeds are not registered at all. . Hence we find that our land titles are in a state of most glorious confusion." .- - : ..'"I A strange story comes from Wash ington. ' It t. is that . Commissoner Loring's coachmen stable their horses at Government expense and the dri vers are paid out of the National Treasury. If true, it is most dis- graceful. And. yet John onerman and others did even worse than this. When Cleveland gets in there must be a change and the Augean stables must be thoroughly cleansed. Cleve land is the modern Hercules to do the work well and thoroughly. A spe cial to the Philadelphia Times from Washington, dated the 21st, say: "The Agricultural Appropriation bill calls for the employment of one laborer to take care of the horses of the Bureau and drive the carriage. It has come to pass that every Bureau officer under the govern ment must have a carriage, which is gene rally smuggled in as a mail wagon, while the driver is on the rolls as a messenger. If some of the officials do not push their coo-: sciences to that extent it' goes greatly jto their credit. The present Commissioner of Agriculture has three men employed in this private service. One of these is a white man brought from Massachusetts, the other two are colored men, one of whom is car ried on the seed roll and is paid out of the contingent fund. One of them stays in the stables at the grounds and drives the Com missioner's and his chief clerk's families around the city in the government carriage, and the other stays at the Commissioner's residence on K street during the winter. The Commissioner brings his fast horses down from Massachusetts and stables them in the government stalls and has them kept at public expense." In Pennsylvania, where Protection abounds and the doctrine of Rob Roy is indorsed by almost the entire press, there are 61,000 idle meh. JBradstreeCs says there are ' now in the North 300.000 men connected with "industrial employments" who are not at work.

OEMS, It Philadelphia American, ; I Something in the work and in the life of Sidney Lanier calls: : up 'John Keats. Both, as pootsy-were most keenly sensitive to art; as men . both struggled long and"nn8ncce8sfully' against consumption, which, carried them off just as they seemed ripe for productions more splendid than any they left behind. But, while in grace and delfcacy of style Lanier arid Keats resemble each other, Lanier's was the broader and saner character. In him we trace none of the morbid ness which tinges Keatss verse. Ill ness and bodily weakness, to which were added poverty , and untoward material : surroundings, . could , i not taint the crystal purity of Lanier's intellect. ; His last poem was written literally while death stood on the threshold, yet it isstrong in hope, majestic in "diction and fresh - in spirit. - ' " i ; Lanier's career only too closely exemplifies that, which from time iiri memorial has been looked upon as set apart by destiny for men of ge nius. Hewasbqrn in .MaconGa., in 1842, and after-having got what education he could from a Southern college he entered the Confederate1 army, served with distinction, and, being captured, was imprisoned' at Port Lookout 5 Upon his release he had to support himself r- as r best he might at first by undertaking the practice of law, which was soon giyen up for the.Iess dry but- equally prW carious profession of !? the age of 25 he had already premo- nitory symptoms of the disease from which he was to" die, and l until his death ia 1881 his life was a continu Ous struggle against illness and poy brty borne wlttf what cheerfulness and courage those who r; read; Mr. Ward memorial of him wilHper ceive. In 1874 he began to be known L as a jcontrib.utor .to.Nprthernm aga- zines," his first poems winning reoog nitiorifronl JFi ,Krk; Bayard Tay lor, and other person sof discernment.

And, if, as consciously or unconsciously all thoughtful readers I qo, you weigu tnjB npnesg oi separate words or phrases, you will be struck by the richnesa of Lanier 'a vocabu lary and by; the happy terseness with, which he often condenses a . good thought. . In his use of strong, ex pressive words, which occasionally recall Shakespeare, he, is again like Keats. ' ' ' . ..; ;. . ; Sidney . Lanier Js a poet beneath whose song pure and noble teaching ceaselessly flows. His conception of the poet's mission is broad and' libe ral, and is reiterated in' many tones. He is a critic of life in the true sense, aiming to bring within the realization of his fellows the beauty of art and the sweetness of virtue that are to most of Us mere cant phrases signi fying nothing. In "Corn" he skil fully weaves an allegoiy of thrift and speculation; in MThe Symphony n he sings, in quite original fashion, of the good which an age that is all for trade misses, andof the sins it per petuates; in VClover, in daring simile, he'shows the glorious labor of the artist; in "The Crystal" he enu merates the master ' spirits of the world,crowned by "man best Man,"" Christ; finally, in; "Sunrise," is con trasted the bight of doubt and de spair with the dawn of belief in the deathlessness and5 goodness of the soul. This last poem deserves -and we doubt not, will some time receive' the deepest study and liberal criti- hcism.
