Talking In Their Sieop. < ‘You think 5 am dead, ” Tho apple tree said, “Because I have never a leaf to show, Because I stoop And my branches droop Aiid the dull gray mosses over sao grow, But I’m alive in trunk and shoot. The buds of next May I fold away, But I pity the withered grass at my root.” !, You think I am dead," The quick grass said, “Because I have parted with stem and blade, But under the ground Ism safe and sound, With the snow’s thick blanket over me laid. I’m all alive and ready to shoot Should the spring of tho year Gouts dancing here, But I pity the Lower without branch or root. ’* “You think 1 am dead,” A soft voice said, “Because not a branch or root I own. I never have died, But close I Jffde En a plumy seed that tho wind has sown. Patient I wait through the long winter hours. You will seo me again.

The rich man gathers gold and land Which spendthrifts Bcatter as the nuad. Tho diver brings the costliest gem To deck u princely diadem. Death passes by—tho king is not, And both aro by tho world forgot. Ambition rules tho passing hour, And truth is sold for place and power. Tho truth endures. Power, place, are lost, God counts a living soul the cost. The warrior leads to conqu’ring strife And buys a name with human life.

SATURDAY AUG. 27. 1898. |PMite Tax Rate Increased. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 22.--The tax di gests from 133 counties and estimates made for tlie few others show a de crease in the taxable property of the state of $2,167,410 as compared with off year’s figures. On account of this slump the property owners of iiio state will have to pay $1 more on the SI,OOO this year to tiie state than they did last year. That is, the increased tax rate is partly attributable to this de crease in values and partly to the ex tra SIOO,OOO which is added to the com mon school fund for this year. The tax levy was promulgated by Gov. Atkinson in conjunction with the controller general to-day, the total levy being 621 mills as against 5.21 mills for 1897—this is divided between the tax for general purposes, 3.45 mills; school fund, mills, and sinking fund 2(5-100, the total taxable property as shown by tho digests of the various counties is $409,153,959. “UNCLE SAM.” In his presentation of a beautiful flag to the Fourth Tennessee Volun teers at Knoxville, August 12th, Gov ernor Bob Taylor said: “The most striking and picturesque figure in all history is the tall figure of a lean and sinewy old man with long hair and chin whiskers and wearing an old fashioned plug hat. His pan taloons are in stripes of white and red, and his blue swallow-tailed coat is bespangled with stars, and we call him “Lncle Sam.” “He is the composite of the wildcat and the cooing dove—the lion and the lamb, tlie thunderstorm and the sum mer evening’s hist sigh that shuts the rose. He is the embodiment of all that is tender and terrible. The world stands appalled at his wonderful strength and power, and yet bows in admiration of bis matchless magna nimity. “He is the tallest individual on tills mundane sphere, and when he steps across the continent and sits down on Pike’s Peak, and snorts in his hand kerchief of red, white and blue, the earth quakes and monarchs ternblc on their tlirone3. “From tlie peaceful walks of life he can mobolize a mighty army in sixty days and in ninety days he can destroy a powerful nary and vanquish an em pire. “Ho is the boss of the Western Hem isphere, sheriff of Cuba, justice of tlie peace cf Porto Rico and guardian sui litem of the Philippine islands. He is as brave as Ctesar and as meek as Moses, “He is as fierce as a tiger and as cool as a cucumber. He wears the tail feathers of the eagles of France in hi i hat; the scalp of Mexico dangles from his belt. He launhs at tho growl of Russian bear, and is always ready for j a schooner of German beer. Ali I hat j is left of Spain after her combat with | Uncle Sam is her ‘lionah.’- No longer the liu.n of England roars at our door, but the twain now stand together for humanity and liberty.” burst c\i eo’ )'<•(-, vjirt'ihtn#, *. wI-1 •pf-riH,'?
