THERE'S ROOM ENOUGH FOR ALL.
What need of all this fust and strife,
Kaeh warring with his brother?
Why should we, in the crowd of life,
Keep trampling down each other?
la there no goal that can be won, ,
Without a squeeze to gain it?
No other way of getting on.
But scrambling to obtain it?
Oh. fellow-men, hear wisdom, then,
In friendly warning call—
Your claims decide, the world is wide,—
There's room enough for all.
What if the swarthy peasant find
No field for honest labor,
He need not idly stop behind,
To thrust aside his neighbor.
There is aland with sunny skies
Which gold for toil is giving.
Where every hrawny hand that tries,
flan grasp an honest living.
Oh! fellow-men—remember thru —
Whatever chance befall,
The world is wide—where those nhidc,
There's room enough for all.
I
From poisoned air ye breathe in courts,
And typhus tainted alley’s,
Oo forth and dwell where health resorts,
In fertile hills and valleys ;
Where every man that clears a bough, 1
Finds plenty in attendance.
Up, leave your loathsome cities now.
And toil for independence.
Oh, hasten, then, from fevered den,
And lodging cramp and small:
The world is wide—in land beside,
There’s room enough for all.
In this fair region far away,
Will labor find employment—
A fair day’s work, a fair day’s play,
And toil will earn enjoyment.
What need then of this daily strife,
Where each wars with his brother?
Why need we, through the crowd of life
Keep trampling down each other;
From rags ami crime—that distant clime
Will free the paupers thrall;
Take fortunes tide—the world so wide,
Has room enough for all. i
TELL HE!
“Tell me, angelic host, *
Ye messengers of love,

Southern “Aristocrats.”
Soon after the fall of the Confederacy,
•we sometimes heard ignorant and envi
ous men say that the war had done at
least one good—it had broken down and
destroyed the “aristocracy” of the South.
Such expressions were quite common
among low fellows who dodged conscrip
tion—more common than among .the peo
tple of the North.
(Using the word in its more odious sense,
the "aristocracy” of the South has been
badly broken down by the destruction of
[property. If the word “aristocrats” is
(understood as meaning merely those raised
.above the necessity of labor or care by
wealth, then it cannot be denied that
(when their property was destroyed such
■aristocrats became as little, or less, than
itheir working neighbors. We know well
enough that there were in all parts of our
States very many persons who had little
>to pride themselves upon aside from their
property, who lacked education, refinement
and all the adjuncts of high civilization,
yet who boasted of their wealth and exacted
the deference of the less favored. Many
ofthem were of the loud-mouthed school
of citizens, who did and said much to bring
about the hostile feeding which eventually
(caused war, and who did very little towards
.carrying on the war which they had aided
in inaugurating. Hut these men and
their families were not the Southern
“aristocracy” in any just sense of the term.
They arc not of the “best and highest”
■ of our Southern citizens. If it is thought
proper to class as aristocracy those who
were recognized as best and noblest, the
(leaders in soeietv. the fmide in mihlic
affairs, the patrons of taste, the heirs of
ancestral respectability, the supporters of
noble characters, the founders of schools
the builders of churches, the exemplers
of female excellence and the upholders of
honor—if such were our aristocrats, then
we deny that the war has destroyed our
aristocracy. Their numbers are thinned,
for many scions of stock, made noble by
virtue and excellence, have been cut off.
The wealth which was to them a means of
beneficence, it. is true, has been destroyed.
War has swept over their homes. The
happy dwellings where hospitality was dis
pensed are, many of them, in ruins.
Plantations are covered with weeds; a
tangled, rank undergrowth has usurped
garden walks and invaded flower beds;
cold ashes of burnt houses cover many
cold hearthstones, and idle weeds are
creeping over the gray ash-heaps. The
“fire storm of ruin” has been everywhere,
and very much of what man had done to
beautify and enrich our Southern land,
has, by the hand of man been undone*
But the storm that swept away the wealth
of good and worthy people has left un
scared and unstained that better and higher
wealth which adorned prosperity and now
clothes adversity with honor. We some
times think that the war, which developed
so often the latent seeds of unknown
qualities, has produced a higher and
healthier pride of character, a higher esti
mate of moral worth aud mental excellence
a higher worship of honor, a deeper regard
for female worth, a more reverent filial
love, a more earnest affection among sur
viving kindred, heartier love among the
friends who are left.
Before the war, as now, the pride and
boasts of the South were her true women
and her trusty men. Ilcr greatest wealth
now lies in the noble character of her best
citizens. These make up an aristocracy
such as was never based on wealth, and
such as misfortune and loss can never de
stroy.—[New Orleans Crescent.
