A WOMAN'S ADIEU.
Our lovo is done I
I would not have it back, I say,
X would not have ray whole year Mayt
But yet for o-.u- deal passion's sake,
Kiss me once mare an l strive to mako
Our last kiss the supremest one,
For love is done.
love is done!
And still my eyes with tears are wet,
Our souls are stirred with vague regret;
We gaze farewell, yet cannot speak,
And firm resolve grows strangely weak,
Though hearts are twain that onco wero
one,
Since love is dona
But love is done!
I know it, vow it, and that ki-i-
Must set a finis to our bliss.
Yet when I felt thy mouth meet mine,
My life again seomol half divine,
jur very hearts together ruui
Can love be done?
Can lovo be done?
Who cares if this be mad or wise?
Trust not uiy words, but read my eyes.
Thy kiss bade sleeping love awake:
Then take me to thy heart; ah! take
The life that with tltiuo own is one,
Love is not done 1
—Anne liceve Aldrich, in Spirit.
AGAINST WIND AND TIDE.
BY ANNA SIIKILDS.
People in Maysville always shrugged
their shoulders when Mark Lamson was
mentioned, and usually the expressive
gesture was fol|owe:’ by some depreca
ting remark.
“Comes of bad stock,” old Judge Len
nox would say, in his pompous dictator
ial manner. “All the Lamsons were
worthless, and Mrs. Lamson was a
Hodge, and everybody knows what they
are.”
The house iu which Mark was born,
and where he scrambled up to maDhood,
was a largo farm house, tumbling to
pieces inside, with a roof always being
patched against leaking, doors without
iocks and with shaking hiuges, windows
that rattled in every wind, ceilings that
dropped plaster whenever a heavy foot
shook the upper rooms and furniture iu
the last stage of shabbiuess. His father
and mother were slatternly iu dress,
shiftless in household management, and
the handsome, bright boy was over-in
dulged and neglected as their own indo
lence suggested.
But Mark Lamson inherited none of
the leading traits of his parents. Prob
ably in some remote ancestor there was a
mixture of energy, resolution and ability
of which the Maysville gossips had never
heard, and for which they certainly gave
Mark no credit. It was in vain that the
Principal of the Maysville High School
declared that Mark had graduated with
the best record he had ever given in the
school. It was useless for the lad him
self to keep his life free from blame, and
earnestly endeavor to do his duty.
Maysville could not forget that he wa3
a Lamson, and his mother was a Hodge
—“bad stock 1”
As he passed from boyhood to man
hood, Mark began the unequal struggle
against fate and circumstances, that was
dictated only by his own energy. His
father had been able to get bread from
the farm by a lazy tillage that gave the
bare necessities for the tabic; his mother
had a very small income that gave the
three clothing of the poorest description,
and both were in open-mouthed wonder
that Mark was not content, as they had
been, to dawdle through life and “make
out” with what they had.
And Mark, struggling to attain better
things, with only a vague, undisciplined
longing for improvement, met no en
couragement at home or abroad. He
tried to obtain a situation, but employers
were shy about giving work to a Lamson;
he met but a cool reception at the Mays
ville social gatherings, having no knowl
edge of how to repair his own linen or
keep his poor clothing even tidy. Boy
like, he imagined anew suit and gay
necktie were all-sufficient for a party,
and did not heed the frayed culls and
broken collars at which the Maysville
belles turned up their noses.
But, in spite of his father's lazy com
ments,his mother’s fretful remonstrances,
Mark Lamson, finding no employment
outside, determined to see if the farm
would not find him in work.
“Oh, yes; do as you please,” his
father said. “But there is no money
for new-fangled fixings, and the land
D about worn out. Plenty of it, to be
sure, but ’tain’t worth shucks.”
i 80, siDgle-handed,Mark undertook the
work of bringing up the old farm. Early
and late he toiled,repairing fences, weed
ing, picking stones, rooting out dead
stumps, preparing his land, without one
hand stretched out to help him, one voice
to wish him success. Thomas, the only
man his father employed, gave a surly re
fusal to aid, upon the ground that his
regular routine of shiftless farming took
all his time, and Mark patiently sub-
mitted.
He was twenty-one years old, when
into bis dull,monotonous life came anew
stimulus—a hope, bright as a vision and
almost as baseless. He fell in love IHe
did not walk iu cautiously, counting his
steps and weighing his chances, but he
fell in plump, suddenly, hopelessly.
There had been a warm discussion at
the Judge's about inviting Mark to the
party that was to celebrate Essie’s
eighteenth birthday and her final return
from boarding-school. But the pet of
the house had a will of her own and a
Jively recollection of Mark’s handsome
face and boyish gallantries, and insisted
upon his being invited. Mark, carrying
in his memory only a pretty little girl,
found himself confronted by au uudeni
able beauty; a face to win homage in far
more pretentious circles than Maysville
boasted, and a gentle grace of manner
none of the girls of his acquaintance had
ever extended to him.
The touch of the soft little hand
offered to greet him riveted the chains
Essie's face had cast about Mark’s heart,
aud made him her slave then and there.
He had starved all his life for sympathy,
and his first half-hour with Essie filled
his longing heart with content. -She re
membered all his boyish aspirations; she
entered into all his hopes and ambitions.
The party was the beginning of an inter
course that stimulated anew every good
resolution, gave anew vigor to every
hope of Mark’s life.
The village was essentially democratic,
and the fact that Essie was the only
child and heiress of the richest, most in
fluential man in the place did not prevent
her from visiting Mrs. Lamson upon
terms of perfect equality. She was foud
of the weak, amiabie woman, strongly as
she censured, in her youthful strength,
the easy-going indolence that made her
home such a scene of confusion and dis
comfort; and, in her gentle, pleasant
way, she endeavoured tfc brighten that
home for Mark by suggestions and offers
of help that fell to the ground. It was
like fighting a feather bed to try to rouso
Mrs. Lamson to an active improvement,
and rebuffed there, Essie could only help
Stark by words of sympathy that were
like wine of life to his love.
An hour with Essie seat him back to
his uphill work full of new hope, every
euergy stimulated, every hope bright
ened. He had not dared to set boioro
him iu plain words the hope of one day
winning her heart to his own, for there
was all the humility of true passion in
that young, ardent heart, but he real
ized anew force, anew spur to am
bition.
Essie never sneered at him as the
neighbors had become accustomed to
doing; Essie never threw cold water
over his plans for improving the land;
Essie was never sarcastic over the clash
ing of his povery aud his ambitions. As
lie saw her more frequently, be ventured
to tell her of wider, wilder hopes, of
some day escaping from tho drudgery
before him, and making his way to a
city, when; his education might give
hi mas tart In more e.oni/aainl occupation.
“Father aad mother seem to need me,
now,” he told Essie, one day; “they are
old, and they have no other child. I
think it is my plain duty to stay.”
“I think it is,” was the quick reply;
“your mother could scarcely bear a sepa
ration.”
“And while I am here, I must do the
work that lies under my hand,” he said,
“hard as it is I But Essie," aud his face
brightened, “do you know that already
I have made tbo farm pay double what
it has ever done. Next spring I can
hire help out of money I saved from the
sale of last year’s crops 1”
Essie, all eager interest, entered into
discussion of the capabilities of such a
lot for turnips, such a patch for wheat,
the possibilities of a dairy, the bsst cul
ture for fowls, as if she had never
studied mu9ie or filled her head with
French and German verbs.
But the horror and wrath ot Judge Len
nox, wheu, after two years of mild court
ship, Marie took his fate in his hands and
asked permission to marry Essie, eannot
be described.
“A Lamson!” he cried, when hav
ing dismissed Mark he returned to the
bosom of his family. “A Lamson for
Essie’s husband! The fellow wants
my money to spend after all his father
and his grandfather have squandered.”
‘‘Do you really and truly think Mark
is a spendthrift, papa?” Essie asked
quietly. “Does he ever lounge about
the stores or taverns, as Harry Carter
and James Rayburn do!
“I—Well, no, I never saw him,” was
the reluctant admission.
“Did you ever hear that he drank or
gambled, or even smoked?”
“N-o—l never did.”
“Is he not regular at church?”
“Ye-es.”
“But, oh, Essie!” struck in Mrs, Len
nox. “What shabby, half-washed
shirts he wears, and his fingers all out
of his gloves, and half the buttons of his
coat gone!”
“Poor Mark!” said Essie, gently. “He
needs a wife.”
“Well, ho need not look here for
one,” growled the Judge.
“I heard Mr. Thompson say, last
week,” said Essie, quietly,“that there is
not a better farm in Greene County than
Lamson’s.”
“Such a palace of a house!” the
Judge sneered.
“Mark is hoping to put anew house
on the place, next year. He has had
builders over from B ■ —, but they say
the old house is beyond repair, and it
would cost less to have anew one.”
“And where is the money to come
from?”
“Where the improved farm came
from,” said Essie; “from Mark’s indus
try, perseverance and energy, in the faae
of the hardest discouragements ever a
young man had to fight.”
“Eh!” said the Judge. “What?
What?”
“See what he has done,” said Essie,
still in an even, quiet tone that carried
conviction far more than an excited one.
“Eight years ago, when he was but a
boy, he put his shoulder to the wheel
and took his playtime between a school
hours to weed and clear away stones.
HOMER, BANKS COUNTY. GA„ WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 27, 1892.
Nobody helpd him. Ho was ridiouled,
sneered at, discouraged ou all sides. He
had the poorest farm in tho place, aud
he has made it one of the best. He
has put every spare dollar into
books on agriculture, improved ma
chines, good stock. He has now four
men at work for him, good horses, good
cattle, good poultry, aud he will have a
good house. Papa, do you not think it
will be a pity to have the new house in
the care of Mrs. Lamson, to ruin as she
has the old one? Out-doors tho manage
ment is all left to "Mark, and see what he
has done. But a mau cannot make a
home comfortablo alone; he needs a
wife.”
“Well,” said the Judge, “let him have
one, but not my child.”
“Still ho loves me,” said Essie, “and
I love him!”
“Pshaw I” said the Judge, and marched
out of the house.
But prompt as he was, ho was just,
and he loveil Essie. He had let preju
dice influence him against Mark ail his
life; now he took pains to find out how
much of his dislike was well founded.
Grudgingly enough was the verdict given
in Mark’s favor. Maysville did not will
ingly acknowledge it had been wrong in
its estimate, and shouldered upou Mark
all tho faults of his ancestors. But the
facts were strong, and Judge Leunox
found himself confronted by them.
Slowly, for ho was not easily ooavinced,
ho took respect into tho place of con
tempt, and, after a month of pationt in
vestigation, sent for Murk.
The interview was a frank, manly one,
tho old geutloman not beiug given to
half hearted measures of auy kind. He
admitted his former prejudices, and
heartily commended tho young man who
had struggled so uobly.
“When your now house is finished,”
hesaid, “I will let my Essie be your wile.
A man who can make his way against
wind and tido as you have done, deserves
a happy home.”
The Judge being a power la Maysville
publio opinion veered round, as soon ns
the engagement was announced.
The now house being completed, Essie
became housekeeper, Mrs. Laiasou gladly
resigning her feeble reign. And under
the new regime It was wonderful to see
how even the old peoplo smartened up.
They had no chronio objection to
cleanliness, if someono else did the
necessary work; and with Mark and Essie
to govern and direct, the Lamson house
hold so lost its old numo. that you could
scarcely find to-day inf Maysville one
voice to repeat tho old saying that "Mark
Lamson camo of bad stoak.”— The Ledger
A Very Queer Satellite.
The satelllto nearest to tho planet
Jupiter must boa singular place of resi
dence, if thore bo any possibility of resi
dents at all resembling human beings. In
the first place, though it is bigger than
our moon, tho substance of which it is
composed is lees than half as light as
cork, so that it is not a very solid place
of residence.
In the next place, though tho sun ap
pears very dim from it as compared with
what it appears from tho earth, it has a
moon—namely, Jupiter itself whoso
surface appears many hundreds of times
larger than our moon.
In the third place, tho recent observa
tions made of this satellite by Mr. Bar
nard, in tho great Lick Observatory,
make it not improbable that this satel
lite is reallv cut ii> two, and that there
fore there may be two separata littlo
worlds, probably not separated by any
very great distance (for tho total diame
ter of the two together, if thero bo two
divisions of tho satelllto which was al
ways suppoaod till qulto recently to bo
single, is not above 2300 miles across),
revolving together through space, some
even of the dotails of ono of whioh
worlds must be visible from tho othor.
if thero be anything like telescopes on
either half.
If the satellite is not cut in two Mr.
Barnard holds that thero must be a light
belt round it, very like tho light belt on
Jupiter itself, and that this light belt
produces the impression of division un
der certain circumstances of the orbit.
We may hope that tho Lick Observatory
will at length solve the problem. Per
haps the residents of the two halves of
the planet, if it be in halves, can really
telegraph to each other. —London Spec

Sight Kind of Scissors.
One needs many pairs of scissors, and
true economy consisists in having a pair
for each sort of work. The cutting of
paper is very trying to sharpened steel,
and a pair might be kept for that pur
pose. Long slender shears are handy
for general use: buttonhole scissors could
find a place in every work basket; a pair
of scissors for trimmin; lamps in the
kitchen is necessary where there is no
gas; grape scissors for the table are not
altogether new; scissors to cut flowers
in the country are a convenience.
Few people carry pocket scissors of
the folding sort. Those that do never
part with them. Convenient for mani
cure use, to cut a clipping from a papor
at a moment’s notice, a string, etc., they
answer almost every purpose of tho
pocket knife and are much more conven
ient to handle. Give a person accus
tomed to their use a knife and the pocket
scissors and he will part with the forraei
first. Ho cutting blade should bo pul
in the fire, as it will then lose its tempei
which ia denoted by its turning blue.
Such a knife or blade will never keej
its edge.— Hardware.

RETRENCHMENT NEEDED.
In his speech before the house some
days ago, ou the Holman-resolution pro
viding for retrenchment in expenditures
Mr. Livingston, president of the Georgia
Stato Alliance, among other things Baid
that from one end of the land to the
other, there existed to-day more destitu
ton and distress than had ever before
been known iu the history of the country.
It was time for congress to call a halt in
the making of unnecessary and reckless
appropriations. The cause of this dis
tress was a large increase in taxation,
which to-day was five times as much as
it was in 1860. How could the produc
ers of the country live under such a sys
tem of taxation? While the rate of taxa
tion had been increasing, the price of
products had been decreasing. Cotton
had gone down from 10 cents, 1860,
to OJ cents, in the city of Au
gusta, Ga. What had gone down
iu proportion? The legislation
of congress had increased taxation, and
had decreased the means of paying it.
Was it not time that the farmers and
laborers should be beard on this floor?
The resolution offered by the gentleman
from Indiana, [Mr. Holman] not only
contained sound democratic principle,
but it was honest and statesman-like.
He did not see how any gentleman,
whether ho belonged to the first, second
or third party, could do aught but sup
port it. The people were looking with
their eyes and listening with their ears
for some sign of relief from this congress.
Would they r ccivo it, or would they be
sent word, as they had been sent during
the last twenty-five ye us r . “work on and
we will take care of the government.”
The passage of this resolution would en
courago the workingmen of the country,
and he gave it his earnest support.

THE BUB-TIIEABUUY BOILED DOWN.
Under the above headline the South
ern Alliance Farmer says: This ono
plank iu our platform has caused more
eontenton among the old party hacks
than all the rest of our demands. It has
been the great drawback to our woul-be
democratic friends. They view it with
a perfect horror, a system which would
rum the country at once, they say. Oh,
yes, they will tall you, we can tako the
rest of your platform, but the sub-treas
ury, we can’t stand it. These same par
ties and papers who prate against the
sub-treasury, know simply nothing
about it. They have been fighting the
air and have not succeeded in making it
very lurried with common sense. The
sub-treasury system boiled down
and shorn of detail is simply
this: Tho government should issue
direct to the people, upon good security,
a sufficient amount of currency, at cost,
to do the business of the country upon
a cash busi..
This is all there is in this demand, and
who can object to it? Would it benefit
the merchaut, the lawyer aud the doc
tor? Certainly, if the people who sup
port these professions are benefited.
There is no reasonable objections that
any honest man can urge against the sub-
treasury system. Everybody had rather
do a cash than a time business, for in the
end both the customer and the mer
chant are ruined when the credit
system is adhered to. Then let us all
join hands for the sub-treasury system
which means a sufficient volume of
money direct from the government to the
people at a low rate of interest. All
men can stand on this plank except those
interi sted in robbing the people through
our present financial system. This is the
main plank in our Ocala demands, and
one that the country must have. Let us
accept nothing as a compromise, but in
sist on having the government to control
our financial system instead of national
banks and plutocrats.
AN OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION.
Special Notice to all Alliancemen:
The Supreme Council is session unan
imously passed the following resolution:
“Resolved, That the brethren of the
entire order be requested to set aside and
observe the first meeting in January each

national demands, and the sub-alliance
locturer and others deliver addresses in
behalf of the national propaganda fund
for the distribution of approved alliance
literature, and that the sub-alliance sec
retary take up a collection in behalf of
the said propaganda fund, and forward
same to the national secretary at Wash
ington, D. C.”
This resolution is far-reaching in its
effect, and ja commended to the careful
consideration of the entire order. The
following questions and answers are here
presented in order to give a better un
derstanding of the Propaganda fund and
the national alliance day ;
What is the object of the national alii-
ance day ?
Ans .: It is to concentrate the thoughts
and attention on one day in the begin
ning of the year upon national alliance
work and national issues, and to secure
from every member of the order such
contributions as he or she may be able
and w illing to give toward assisting in
the educational work of the order.
How may national alliance day be
made interesting, useful and instruc
tive ?
Ans: By each member giving such
new facts as he mgy .possess qs to the his-
tory of our objects of the order, singiug
alliance songs, and by reading and dis
cussing the demands.
What ara the demands of the order?
Asa: The following is a correct copy
of the demands as amended at India
napolis :
“la. We demand tho abolation of
national banks.
“b. We demand that tho government
shall establish sub-treasuries iff the sev
eral states which shall issue money direct
to the people at a low rate of tax, not to
exceed two per cent per annum, on non
perishable farm products, and also upou
the real estate, with proper limitations
upou the quantity of laud aud amount of
money.
“1. We demand that the amount of
the circulating medium be speedily in
creased to not less than S6J per capita.
“2. We dmand that congress shall
pass laws as will effectually prevent the
dealing in futures of all agricultural aud
mechanical productions, providing a
stringent system of procedure in trials
that will secure prompt conviction, and
imposing such penalties ns shall secure
the most perfect compliance with the law.
“8. We condemn the silver bill re
cently passed bv congress, and demand
in lieu thereof the free and unlimited
coinage of silver.
“4. We demand tho passage of laws
prohibiting alien ownership of land, and
that congress tako prompt action to de
vise some plan to obtain all lands now
owned by foreign syndicates, and that
all lands held by railroads and other cor
porations in excess of such as is actually
used and needed by them be reclaimed
by the government, and held for actual
settlers ouly.
“6. Believiug in the doctrine of equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none, wo demand—
“a. That our national legislation shall
be so framed in the future as not to build
up one industry at the expense of an
other.
“b. We further demand a removal of
tho existing heavy tariff tax from tho
necessities of life that the poor of our
luud must have.
“c. We further demand a just and
equitable system of graduated tax on in

“and. We believe that tho money of the
country should be kept as much as
Eossible in the hands of the people, and
ence we demand that all national and
state revenues shall be limited to the
necessary exponses of the government
economically and honestly administered.
“8. We demand tho most rigid, honest
and just state and national governmental
control and supervision of tho means of
public communication and transporta
tion, and if this control aud supervision
does not remove tbs abuses now existing,
wo demand the government ownership
of such means of communication ana
transportation.
“7. We demand that the Congress of
the United States submit an amendment
to the constitution providing for the
election of United States Senators by di
rect vote of the people of each state.”
What is the Propaganda fund ?
Ans : It is a special fund composed of
donations for the purpose of assisting the
alliance educational work. It is in
charge of the Propaganda fund com
mittee, which is composed of the presi
dent and secretary and the executive
board of the order. The regulations
governing it are that none can be paid
out except by unanimous consent of the
Propaganda fund committee. At regu
lar intervals the secretary publishes in
Tho National Economist all receipts and
disbursements of this fund. All litera
ture purchased with this fund must he at
cost, and all services rendered by officers
or others in handling or disbursing this
fund or any of its literature, must be
without pay. Every effort is to be made
to every dollar do the most possible good.
To what use is the Propaganda fund
applied?
Ans. To the purchase of pamphlets,
tracts and leaflets explaining and defend
ing alliance principles and to the distri
bution of literature to reform and other
papers for publication, and sometimes to
paying the actual expenses of a lecturer
on some important occasion when the
lecturer cannot be made self-sustaining.
There is a demand for information in un
organized sections, and there is a great
demand for reform literature in all sec
tions.
Does this Propaganda fund correspond
to the campaign funds of the political
parties?
Ans. It does not in any sense of the
word. Campaign funds, as used in poli
tics, represents money paid by capitalists
to dominate the administration after the
party have succeeded, and it is distrib
uted largely as boodle for corrupt pur
poses. Its object is to perpetuate ma
chaue domination. The Propaganda
fund is more nearly represented by the
manner in which the Irish fight for lib
erty has been conducted. The expenses i
have been met by donations from those
devoted to the cause of liberty. Our
battle will ’soon be raging, our cause is
is an embodiment of right, justice and
equity, we strive to emancipate produc
tive labor from the money power to op
press and thereby prevent the enslavement
of posterity. Every person who assists
in this cause is a hero. Let each give as
the Lord has prospered him.
How should remittance to the Propa
ganda fund be sent?
Ans. Address a letter to J. H. Turner,
239 North Capitol street, Washington,
D. C., and tell him the amount of your
donation, and who it is from, and inclose
him the money either in postal note,
money order, or registered letter. Then
address another to C. W. Macune, chair
man executive board, 241 North Capitol
street, Washington, D. C., stating what
amount you have sent Brother Turner,
and give a short report of your meeting
and what resolutions you have passed,
and the name and number of your aty!-

The Fine-Looking Samoans.
Tho Samoans have preserved the
language in all the simplicity which
characterized it when they brought it
with them from the Indian Archipelago. .
For years it \vas ouly a spoken language,
but tho missionaries have reduced it to
writing. And tho Samoan language is
ono of the most beautiful tongues in the
world; it is even susceptible of finer
shades of thought than cun be given in
the English language. The Samoans
corno from tho Aryan race, and tho
women when young aro exceedingly
beautiful, t hey are of a hardy race,
the men being on an averago 5 feet 10
inches in height. Tho Samoaus and tho

tho tallest races in the world. They have
