True and False.
A gem Is a gem
Though Though it lie in the dust,
every passer-by
•Should give it a thrust;
Though hidden awhile,
•Still its virtues will shine,
Till it tuddenly gleams
With a glory divine.
Sand in hut eand,
Though the wind, panning by,
Should bear it above
To the stars of the sky;
But tried by the truth
And the testings of fame,
Forgotten it falls
To the soil whence It came.
Though obscurity trample
And tread upon worth,
It will steadily rise
From the trammels of earth
1 bough chance’s vagaries
*1 he worthless advance,
It will flee in dismay
At Truth’s conquering glance.

the two brides.
Hr SHIRLEY BROWNE.
“I declare, Pamela,” said Aunt Ju¬
dith, “you’re the awkwardest creature
l ever did see!”
Pamela Parr heaved a deep sigh.
l)o what she would, exert herself as
she might, she never succeeded in sat¬
isfying Aunt Judith. But she never
had been quite so ill-pleased with her.
self or unacceptable to her aunt as
since Maud Ellison had come to the
farm on that summer visit, when sho
won all hearts and made, unconscious,
ly, perhaps, a background for all poor
Pamela’s faults and shortcomings
And now Pamela dropped her cud <, f
the huge roll that Aunt Judith was
binding up with coarse, brown bag¬
ging stuff and a mattress needle, and
burst into Ienr3.
“I can’t help it, Aunt Judith,” she
sobbed; “I do my best, but—but—”
“And bad’s tho best,” raid the old
lady, petulantly pushing her away.
“There! Go along, and get the pota¬
toes peeled for dinner! I don’t sup¬
pose it’s your fault that you was created
the clumsiest girl in Itidgeville!
What arc you crying for now ? Jeal¬
ous because I’m going to give this
beautiful rag carpet to Maud Ellison?
But she is to be married next month,
and I want her to have a real hand-
some present as a remembrance from
me. Sho is my brother's daughter,
you know, and—”
“And I am your sister’s daughter,”
Pamela ventured to remonstrate, “and
—-and I’m to be married this fall,
too!”
“Eh?” said Aunt Judith, facing
suddenly around and viewing Pamela
through her glittering spectacle glass¬
es. “You married! Is there any
fellow alive who would fancy you?”
“I know I*m not a beauty,” ac¬
knowledged Pamela, “but John Story
likes me, and lie has asked me to be
his wife. John isn’t a grand lawyer,
]iko Cousin Maud’s city beau, but lie
is good and honest, and lie says he’ll
try to make a comfortable borne for
me.”
“Well,” said Aunt Judith, “tastes
differ. That’s all I have to say abou 1
it. But you are a good girl, Pamela,
after all, and I hope you’ll be happy
when you’re married. Now go and
see about the potatoes.”
And Pamela, much consoled by
Aunt Judith’s few kindly words,
hastened to obey, while Aunt Judith
finished packing the roll of rag car¬
pet by herself.
And Aunt Judith sat down to din¬
ner with a good appetite and actually
told Pamela that when she went to
housekeeping, she might have the old
wooden clock on tho shelf, that had
kept time for forty odd years without
varying livo minutes in the twclve-
month. And Pamela thanked her, and
said 6he and John would be very
gratcful for it.
“I wish I bad another new rag car-
pet for you,” said Aunt Judith, her
heart warming with the exercise of
generosity.
“I wish you had,” said Pamela,
meekly. “But I dare say we can get
along without carpets until I can save
up rags enough to make one.”
Maud Ellison was a golden-haired
beauty, quite unlike her plain cousin,
Her mother, a dashing widow, had
strained every nerve to secure what
tlie world called a “good match” for
her daughter, and when Mr. Monta¬
gue Mavnaid proposed, both mothe r
and daughter were jubilant.
“I am glad that that antiquated old
woman from Itidgeville isn’t coming,”
said Mrs. Ellison, who, although Aunt
Judith had accommodated them by
freely giving Maud a summer home
during the period of time during
which it was represented that she was
at Mount Desert Island, did not c.\rc
to put herself out for any country
cou-ins at such a time as this.
“But I expect she’ll send me some-
thing very nice for a present,” said
Maud. “She seemed to take a great
fancy to me last summer, and once
she told one of the neighbors that she
intended to make me her heiress!”
The wedding presents were some¬
thing very fine, for Mr. Maynard had
a great many fashionable friends, and
Maud Ellison’s mother had hired a
quantity of silverware, jewelry and
bric-a brae, which were to be sent
back to the proprietors on the morn¬
ing after the wedding". There were
plush banners mounted on gilded
standards, and painted in rather dauby
imitations of sunflowers, hollyhocks
and sumac; there were Venetian glass,
antique mirrors, carved Swiss boxes,
decorated china, dainty lace, and
choice embroidery—in fact, all the
latest caprices of the day were repre¬
sented; and while Maud, surrounded
by a circle of admiring yonng friend^
and ably seconded by the bridegroom-
elect, was displaying the gifts, two
maids brought iu a ponderous roll
which had just arrived by express.
“From your aunt Judith,” said Mrs.
Ellison, reading the address. “Good¬
ness me, what can it be?”
“Something very nice, without
doubt,” said Maud, rapturously clasp¬
ing her hands.
“Open it, somebody!” cried Miss
Jeannette Jervers, the first bride-maid.
“Dear me, why don’t you make haste?
A—a rag carpet!”
“A—rag carpet!” incredulously
echoed Mrs. Ellison.
“A rag carpet,” sobbed Maud,burst¬
ing into tears. “Is that all? I won’t
have the horrid thing in the house!
Send it back again! Tell her I don’t
want it!”
1 *The best tiling wo can do,” said
Mrs. Ellison, who had been making
great boasts about Maud’s rich old
aunt at Itidgeville. “I do think the old
creature must be crazy. What does 6he
suppose we can do with a rag carpet?
Why, Maud’s drawing room is in mo-
quette, and the bedrooms are in body
Brussels I A rag carpet, indeed! I am
surprised I”
And in the first flush of her mortifi¬
cation, Maud Ellison sat down and
wrote a crisp note to Aunt Judith, ut¬
terly declining the gift, which she
pronounced (in violet ink) to be
“doubtless very nice, but quite un¬
suitable to her needs. And perhaps
Aunt Judith could give it to some
poor neighbor who could use it!”
“Don’t want it, eh?” said Aunt
Judith, with a visible darkening of
the face, when the bundle came back,
accompanied by an unpaid express
bill, and Maud’s smoothly insolent
note. “Unsuitable! Some poor neigh¬
bor! Well, I declare! And my best
rag carpet that 1 wove myself! I
wonder what some people expect to
come to! Well, if one of the brides
won’t take it, perhaps the other will I’’
“Oh, Aunt Judith!” cried Pamela.
“That beautiful rag carpet! For me!
It don’t seem possible! Oh, I shall be
so proud to have it! And your own
work, too! IIow nice iry parlor will
look! Dear, dear Aunt Judith, how
can I thank you enough?”
“You needn’t try,’’said Aunt Judith.
“You arc a good girl, and there’s
more common sense in your little
finger than in Maud Ellison's whole
frivolous body!”
Miss Ellison’s wedding was de¬
scribed in all the daily papers, down
to the very pattern of her veil and the
name of the modiste who designed the
white satin dress. Pamela Parr was
married very quietly, and all the wed-
ding-tour she had was the walk across
the yellowing fields home from church.
But Pamela was perhaps as happy as
thc city bride, when she came into her
ii 1 tlo house and saw the gay stripes of
rfl g carpet on her floor,
“It seems almost like a welcome,
^ , n q John?” said 6he with a smile
^j ia ( g ceme( i to light her plain face in-
to positive beauty.
Aunt Judith died that same aniumn,
sitting quietly in her chair. And in.
her will she was found to have left all
of her property, real and personal, to
the niece who possessed the rag car-
pet ridiculous,” said
“It’s quite Mon-
tague Maynard, who had come down
with his wife like a pair of well-
dressed vultures, to tlie funeral. “Such
a will as that can’t possibly stand in
any court of law.”
“I guess we'll risk it, said old
Squire Vandeuburgh, who iiad drawn
out the will.
“I shall contest it,” said Maynard,
“Mv wife is equally an heiress with
Mrs. Story.”
“She would have been if there
hadn’t been a will especially naming
one particular person,” said the
squire,
«*After all,” said Mr. Maynard, snil-
d e nly veering around, “the old house

much!”
“They wouldn’t be,” shrewdly
marked the squire, “if the Hardback
Railroad Compauy hadn’t just offered

ten thousand dollars for the land

through.”
Mr. Maynard turned sharply to his
wife.
“Ii’b all your fault, Maud,” said he.
“You gave the old woman mortal of¬
fense when you refused that rag car¬
pet. I never saw a woman with so
little judgmeut as you have!”
“You are always blaming me,’»
whined Maud. “I wish I had n-never
Mcft my mother! I wish I had
n-never married you!”
“So do I,” said Mr. Maynard,
tartly.
And Pamela Story, listening to this
spicy “aside,” came to the conclusion
that she was perhaps the happier of
the two brides.—[Young Lad.es’

He Cures Black Eyes.
“Three out of every four cases of
black eyes are caused by accidents,”
remarked a well known black eye
eradicator to me.
The best thing for a black eye, ac¬
cording to this man’s experience, is
hot water, applied as soon after the
injury is received as possible. A black
eye is due to coagulated blood settling
in the numerous arteries which sur¬
round the eye. The application of hot
water tends not only to reduce the
swelling, but to dispel this bad blood
and restore the eye to its normal ap"
pearancc.
“I have also,” said the man, “a root
which grovvs only in England, which
will perform the same duty as hot
water in one quarter of the time. I
scrape this finely and plaster the
affected part with it, a proceeding
which I repeat every half hour; it
takes from two and one-half to eight
hours to effect a cure, but it' is then
permanent.
“The slightest tap will cause a black
eye, especially in round-faced people.
Light complexioned people are more
subject to it than dark people or peo¬
ple exposed to the weather.”
“Is raw meat any use?” I asked.
“None whatever. It is a popular
fallacy, as is the tale anent oysters. I
never treat a case until at least twenty-
four hours old, so that the blood has
time to settle. If treated before, a
second edition of the complaint is sure
to make its appearance. Another pe¬
culiar fact about bruises is that, when
the forehead is injured, the coagulated
blood invariably settles around the
eye. Again, a blow on the left temple
has been known to cause a black mark
around the right eye.”
At this point of the conversation a
well dressed gentleman entered and
presented his left eye for inspection.
It wasn’t at all lovely. In fact it re¬
sembled nothing so much as a black
eve. Having thoroughly examined
the bruise the “Professor” curtly re¬
marked:
“It will take three hours and cost
four dollars.”
“All right!” returned the visitor as
he divested himself of his coat and
collar. Lying down on a lounge, the
plaster of root was soon in position.
“Some people haven’t time to spend
in regular treatment,” remarked the
Professor, “so I am often compelled
to paint tho black spot with oil paint
to match the complexion, and as a
temporary expedient this doe9 very
well.”—[New York Telegram.
Monkey and Parrot Market.
There are some rather curious mar
kcls in and about this city, where you
can buy almost anything from almost
anywhere, and at almost any price.
One of the liveliest of these at times
is where the ships come in from South
American and African and Indian
ports. Most of these bring, among
other things, a supply of monkeys and
parrots, and when this becomes known
some interesting scenes are to be wit¬
nessed on the wharf.
Even a small cargo of monkeys
and parrots can whoop things up in a
very thorough fashion, and so it is
that when they get into port they al¬
ways draw a largo audience of curi-
ositv seekers. Then there is the usual
crowd of wharf speculators and Ital-
ians who come to buy. The latter
were much better customers in the old
days when the monkey was not pro¬
hibited from playing a leading part in
bandorgan performances in this city.
However, as no such ordinance is in
force in mqst other towns, the
monkeys still bring a fair price for
use outside of New York.
Monkeys and parrots bring all sorts
of prices along the river front. The
writer saw a cargo ot monkeys sell
the other day at prices ranging from
§2 to $7. Of course none of them
was out of the ordinary or it would
have brought a higher price. The
same vessel that brought the monkeys
had on board a hundred or more parrots
of all sexes and ages. Few of them
brought more than $4, and in the main
the prices ranged from §1.50 to §4.—

NEWS OF THE ORDER FROM

Items of Interest to Alliance-
men Everywhere.
ASSISTANCE NOT REFUSED.

The politicians of both
old parties appear to be greatly surprised :
and grieved that the Alliance through •
its papers and sub-Alliances does not j
condemn by editorials and resolutions
the action of the recent Cincinnati con-
ference. Such action on the part of the
Alliance would be a serious reflection
upon the good sense and judgment of its
vention, members. and This decided conference met in defend con-, j
to aecept,
aod propaganda the demauds of the Alii-
ance. Nothing but a complete want of j
sense would prompt the Alliance in rep-il- 1
ing or refusing the assistance offered by
this conference. In fact, the Allianca
would rejoice exceedingly if the two old
parties would as honestly and earnestly !
adopt the same course. It is through I
this willingness to accept iu good faith,
aid and assistance from any source in the
great work of reform iu which it is ea- ;
gaged that the Alliance proves beyond a
doubt its non-partisanism. It matters
not to the Alliance through what meth-
ods or by what channels the reforms it
demands may come to the. people, its
purposes will be served, and its triumphs
will be complete when these reforms are
maugurated and happier conditions come
to a distressed and disheartened people.”
The Oregcn . ***
Alliance (Pendleton) says:
“Ihe great reform movement has had
for one of its aims the i _^»oilation of
sectionalism and sectional prejudice. It
has almost accomplished this object, and
now for the first time in a third of a
century this is a united country in fact as
well as in name. People from the dif-
ferent sections are wanting to exchange
ideas and views and come together in
one great fraternal unity for the pres-
ervation of liberty and beneficent pub-
lic institutions. Applications and re-
quests in the are being’received and are on file
national president’s office, from
western northern States; for south-
ern speakers to be sent among them, and
from the south for speakers from among
their northern and western brethren.
Cordial hand shakes and glorious wel¬
comes be are awaiting the men who will
soon other going from one section to an—
which, to verify the unity of the people,
it was declared by the Alliance,
should prevail in this broad land; and
this great uniting of the people is being
viewed with frothing rage by those par-
tisans and sectionalists who have spent a
quarter of a century iu trying to promote
hatred betweeu the sections of what

THE FIGHT IN TEXAS.
A Fort Worth dispatch states that the
sub-treasury is now the bone of conten-
tion among the alliance men of Texas,
and discussion incident to this question is
rife among alliance men throughout the
state. The Texas Alliance was organized
in 1875, but never did much until it was
practically reorganized at Dallas in Feb-
ruary 1890. Since that time its growth
has been phenomenal, and last year num-
b«red 150,000 members. The alliance,
more than any other factor, secured the
election of Governor Hogg last year,
When the state alliance convention last
year failed to endorse the sub-treasury
plan, its promoters at once proceeded
to get in some good diplomatic work, and
have since been thoroughly circulating
the sub-treasury idea among the alliance
men of the state. Its advocates are in-
tensely in earnest, and its opponen s are
likewise hard at work. Governor Hogg
opposes the sub-treasury scheme, and
that wing of tbe alliance is, as a matter
of course, displeased with his administra¬
tion, and has already evinced a deternmi-
nation to , bring . about change , . the , office
a in
next year. The anti sub-treasury alliance
men have called a convention at Fort
Worth on July 10th and will attempt some
plan to counteract the influence of the
sub-treasury lecturers.
The ***
Farmers' Advocate (Charlestown,
W. Y.) says: “The Alliance is a most re-
markable organization. Notwithstanding
the magnitude of its interests, the rapid¬
ity of its growth, the extent of its iuflu-
ence and the multitude of its leaders,
there is an absolute absence of heart-
burnings, jealousies, petty rivalry or en-
vious bickerings. There seems to be an
entire absence of the desire on the part
of the many able men within its ranks to
concert any plans or resort to any machi-
nations whereby auy particular one may
constitute himself a bell sheep. Too
much cannot be said in commendation of
thi3 condition. We are fighting in
a common cause and battling
against common enemies, and it
is with a great deal of pleasure that we
note this condition. As an organization
we believe in the office reeking the man,
and there is scarcely a single instance in
the history of the Order when an indi-
vidual has sought to become a leader in
our ranks but who has been sat down
upon so hard that he will not recover his
wind in a lifetime. By this system we
have secured the services of the .very
best, most intelligent and most conserva¬
tive, honest and patriotic men in our
ranks, and demonstrated our ability to
rule, govern and control a nation by hav¬
ing first learned and published our ability
to govern ourselves.”

President L. L. Polk in a speech to a
great crowd of allianeemen at Goldsboro.
N. C.. a few days ago. said: “One of
the troubles is that the farmers have not
attended to their business as voters. You
are working today &imply for an exist¬
ence. Is this as God intended it? The
mo /ernent of the alliance will go on, no
matter what becomes of the leaders.”
He denied being an aspirant for the
presidency, and declared he now held tbe
greatest office in the United States,
He stood upon every one of the Ocala
demands. “Those who wish to oppose
any principle of the alliance,” he said,
“will have to get out and join the enemy.
If you wish to get the sun-treasury b ll
out of politics, get something else that
will give_relief. Until something better
is offered, we will stand by the sub trea¬
sury p an world without end. If a third

THEY WILL STICK.
There was published in the Topeka
(Kan.) Capital recently what pi vported
to be a dispatch from C< ncorJia stating
that the following resolution had be mi
adopted by the f loud County Alliance:
“Whereas, The south w.is not repres nt-
ed in the late Cincinnati convention, and
whereas, We believe the third pat tv whl
disrupt of the Republican party to the benefit
the Democratic party, therefore be it
resolved, That we abandon the third
party to return to our past affiliations.”
D. W. Coffey, pre-id nt of the Cloud
County following Alliance, denies the story in the
vigorous language: “Let me
say this resolution is entirely false, and
that we have had no meeting since April
18th, and at that meeting elected Hon.
S. C. \\ heeler and W. Q. Savery as dele-
gates to represent us at the Cincinnati
convention, which duty they performed
nobly. Our people are well pleased with
the action of the convention, and will no
doubt ratify its action at our next meet-
ing.” °
^ p-fper,
President Polk’s The Progres s-
{ ve Farmer , of Raleigh, is outspoken re-
gaiding the attitude of the Alliance io-
wards the People’s party. It says: “I he
question, What will the Alliance do with
the new party? is <n the lips of tens ot
thousands of anxious people to-day.
Well, it ought not to take much wisdom
to answer that question. The new’ party
has adopted the Alliance demands ii.to
its platform. Doos any one suppose
that intelligent Allianeemen will • vote
against a party that adopts tho-e demands
and in favor of a party that not only fai s
to acopt. but resists those demands? The
western Alliance states have already gone
into the new party. Will not the neee*-
s ity for A1 i- nce unity force the other Al-
liance states to go into the new party
also? We see no way to prevent tbe
new party from sweepiug the country
except the simple one of cheer!u ly con-
j ceding to the people every one of their
us t demands.”
