The tiger of human nature b rising in
hnmaaity.
It destroyed ancient Rome.
Il leveled the walls of Tyre and HI don.
ft overthrew Greece.
Babylon went down before its mighty
wrath.
Egypt crumpled under its tread.
It guilliotined the nobility of France
and beheadel Charles the First.
Ah ! it comes nearer.
It walked barefooted over frozen
grounds and after seven years bloody
struggle established .American Indepen
dence.
It looked over the gleaming barrels of
deadly weapons in the Tennessee mines.
It stood before the leadeu hail of re-
|*eaters at Homestead looking into the
jaws of death without flinching.
It is echoed back from C«eur d’Alene
iu Idaho.
Beware, I say, lest your greed for more
will lose you what you have already ptl.
Oil, plutocracy! Be wise. I .earn
from the past and take y«ur hand from

A Short Homily ComUtlalmg Mach of IVae-
Ileal Value.
Southern farmers are too Impulsive
They have by some means established a
reputation just the opposite to this, but
they do not deserve it. When I aay they
are too impulsive 1 do not mean that
(they are too impulsive all the time—it
t not the habit of their Uvea I simply
ran that when their impulses move
them in any given direction they are apt
to go too far and too fast, and they do
'pot count the ties nor inspect the road

Chronic Sores, Fever Sores, Eczema,

But there is no safety in discontent.
Open your eyes and look out up
thin broad land. Beautiful houses, fra
grant flowers, and lovely pastoral scene*
charm the eye.
Jawing herds, babbling brook* and
song of birds greet the car.
All these are the gift of God.
Here once were mighty forests in

Here sat the lovely Indian maiden
listening to the soft music of the babbling
brook while she wreathed a garland of
natural flowers.
All this was made for man.
Strong bands aud willing hearts have

fill cities with marble palace-, <*u|>|*orted
by Corinthian columns.

a* the greatest nation on earth.
Hun-ki**rd flowers on the banks of
clear rippling streams smile as we pass.
Green fields hemmed in by stately
row* of hedge stretch a* far as eye can
reach.
Surely we <»ught to lie a happy nation.
But we are not.
The |iall of gloom and discontent rests
over this beautiful land.
‘•IWt touch the flowers,” “Keep of!
the grass,” are signs that strike a not*
of discord in our nature.
What flowers? Whose grass?
They are God'*.
The finest artist canmd paint the color
of the one, or the best mechanic imitate
the perfection of the other.
But why not touch them if they are
4 bid’s.
Ah, they are claimed by man.
That which was intended for all lias
l»een pre-empted by a few.
The poor care for the flowers and
nurse them into tender life. The rich
enjoy their fragrance.
The stately building-, the marble
walled palace*, are the handiwork of the
|ss»r, but they do not occupy them.
But those green tiebls, the golden
grain, surely those belong to the poor.
No, indeed ! It is only theirs t
and sweat, to dig and delve.
The profits of their labor gorw to tlmae
who “toil not, neither do they spin.'
The mortgage! Debt! O,that awful ,
curse of the human family, has laid hold j
of those beautiful lands.
Home* have been wrecked!
The fond hopes and happiness of lives
have gone out in the depths of despair.
And for what ?
To huiM beautiful homes—palaces—
f**r the rich.
The poor behold the palaces they
have built
They compare them with the hotels
they occupy.
They ask, “why is this ?”
They look upon their pale wives, their
hungry and uneducated children.
lKscontent seizes their hearts.
They go to church.
The minister tells them to he patient;
“that through much suffering they will
he made perfect.”
But this does not answer the question.
Why should they who toil and spin
have nothing, while they whp toil at
have all the good things of this earth?
They charge the church with hypo-
criay.
They lose confidence in humanity.
They curse the unequal condition of
things.
They strike out wildly, vieiowsfy. des
perately. >.
Ah, Mr. Flute, be careful.
You are provoking a dangerous power.
The more you deprive them the more
dangerous it grows.
hirh they pass. It U a rash de
termination to get there, not a cool,
calculating progress. There b now a
widespread inclination to alack up on
itton, and the prevailing idea Is that
the farmers generally must settle upon
substitute for the fleecy staple, that
** so long been the farmer'll hope and
the fanner's disappointment. Hundreds
re going to plant castor Wans, with-
ut considering whether the world
ant* any more crude oil or Scott’*
mulsion or not. and I very much fear
that a deluge of thb useful medicinal
oil will flood the country and show the
fanners their mistake. They will find
that overproduction is much easier to
accomplish with castor ot! than with
cotton. Others think broom corn Is l*»
be the salvation of the country, when,
as a matter of fact, one Texas county
could supply the entire continent with
new brooms—enough to sweep the
farmer's pockets clean of cash. The
pecan is another craze that has
tilled a great deal of space in
the papers and has lieen exager
ated into a bonanza. A large
her would go into the wholesale
production of the peanut; some
talking hemp; some ramie, some jute,
some rice and some one thing and some
another. They want to cut loose from
old customs and jump head foremost
into some new thing that some in
terested person says will surely enrich
those who patronize it. In regard to
the products mentioned, the castor
Uwns ana the broom corn can be easily
overdone, because the uses to which
they can be put are limited, and even a
doubling of the present crops would
constitute over-production. They should
not be attempted except by a few who
may chance to be favorably situated for
shipping and marketing the crops.
The pecan is all right for the genera
tion following those who. do the
planting: but our children will
never reap the immense profits
that some have indicated. Pea
nut* are a valuable crop, and can be
raised all over the south. They are
more profitable as hog-feed than for
market purposes, and every fanner
should raise them. But. mind, peanuts
can not take the place of cotton, except
as a part of a general plan that will re
duce the product of the staple. The
other crops are yet in an experimental
stage, and moat men would do better
not to fool away their time with them.
Some of our farmers may do well to
drop cotton entirely: but for the major
ity a general diversity, which shall in
clude as much cotton as can be proper
ly cultivated and gathered without
interfering with the general plan
of the farm, will be best-
ing out after new agricultural gods it
will not do to go too far nor too fast:
for. if a mistake is made, it will only
take longer to get back to sound princi
ples. Sudden changes are not whole
some and generally not permanent.
Any.change that fanners make should
be cautiously thought out beforehand,
and it will generally be best to make
haste slowly. Those who are thorough
ly convinced that a change will suit
their condition, should act accordingly.
Those who are not so convinced—and
these are a large majority—would do
well to follow some such plan as this:
a for as possible, everything
that can be consumed on the farm: as
fast aa possible improve the form stock

cotton should be raised, but it should
be so arranged aa to time of planting
