3he never buraei with pazslon’s firs*,
She never craved a mawkish fame;
Her nerves were never strung on wires,
Bat sunshine followed where she came.
Her ways in school were circumspect,
And made her seem a trifle prim;
Her maiden manners were correct,
Her cheerful goodness naught could dim.
Although she ne'er disdained life's joys,
tShe ne’er forgot religion’ •> claim*
In Sunday school her girls and hoys
Were all imbued with life’s grand aims.
In church she ne’er seemed sanctified.

She worked in lov •->r mortals here.
She marriei poorly in the sense
That life's great goal is glittering goli
But for her pains had recompense
In love of man in God’s own mold.
And further on in life there came
A group of children in her home,
Who honored e'er their father’s name.
And from her gu.danca ne’er would roam.
Old age came on, and children brought
Grandchildren to the sacred place
Where mother, wife and maid had taught
Grand lessons to His grandest race.

PHAT had become
of Mable Stone?
That was the prob
lem that puzzled
the people of Squa
lacket, and they
were no nearer to a
solution in January
July, when, one op
pressively hot morn
in./, Mabel's place
at 5 * the breaklast
table was vacant,
and Deacon Stone
learned from a servant, who had been
kept awake by a toothache, that his
daughter had arisen at four o'cloek iu
the morning and gone out hurriedly in
to the gTay dawn. She had not returned
at nightfall,and when it was ascertained
that her aunt in New York, whom she
frequently visited, was ignorant of her
whereabouts, and that her brother, who
was trying to build up a medical prac
tice in Boston, had not seen her or
beard from her, a dark suspicion arose
in Squalacket that she had run away
with Philip Mesmer; for Squalacket was
a New Eugland town, and every inhab
itant in it had grown weary of compar
ing his or her own goodness with that of
the neighbors, and arrived at a comfort
able if somewhat monotonous conclusion
that the home virtues weie a little purer
and rather more securely rooted tbau
any others.
If there is such a thing as an excess
of righteousness, Squalacket knew what
it was, and a ripple of wrong doing ap
pearing upon the otherwise unruffled
surlace of its purity was like a little
flavor of onion lurking in a bowl of
salad. “Half suspected,” it animated
tbe whole. So the people of the strait
laced town were perhaps unduly hasty
in grasping a forbidden fruit when they
declared, with something nearly ap
proaching unanimity, that Philip Ilea
mar. and Mabel Stone had eloped.
To be sure, the circumstantial evidence
was strong against the young couple.
Philip was only twenty-two, and though
all his friends said he bad iu him the
making of a great lawyer, he had not yet
been called to tbe bar. This would not
have mattered greatly, because his life
lay beforo him, and his crusty old uncle
allowed him enough money to cover his
bare expenses, with the provision that it
ahould all be returned, with accrued in
terest and by increasing installments, as
soon as his profession began to yield him
an income. But Philip, though not yet
a barrister, was too good a lawyer not to
be ignorant of the dangers of delay. He
had already, he hoped, carried one suit
to a successful issue. It was a suit for
Mabel's hand in marriage, and the young
lady had rendered judgment in his favor.
But Deacon Stone had reviewed this de
cision, reversed it, and thrown Philip's
case, on motion of appeal, out of court.
He said his daughter was his heiress,
and, as be was rich, no penniless young
fellow, on the strength of his expecta
tions, should marry her.
Philip, however, was not easily non
suited. At a last interview with Mabel, '
before he went back to Philadelphia to
digest more law, he offered to release her
from her engagement to him; but Mabel
was not the sort of girl to take advan
tage of his generosity, and perhaps he
knew that before he exercised it. Love
(especially love with a profound knowl
edge of law behind it) is rarely quite un
selfish. She promised to wait for him,
if necessary, until time was no longer
young, and he assured her that he would
return to Sqnalacket to claim her as soon
as he had mastered the contents of his
first brief, which he expected with the
new year; for he was called to the bar
about Christmas, and in Jauuary the case
of fJnllv va. West would h tried in tb
HOMER, BANKS COUNTY. GA„ WEDNESDAY, MARCH •>. 1892.
Superior Court, and Colly, who was a
friend of his dead father, was pledged to
retain him as junior counsel to show the
jury that West had cut down a tree
which stood evenly on the dividing line
of the West and Colly properties, and
laughed derisively and scurriously railed
at Colly for saying that his half of the
trunk should have been respected and
left standing.
“And if that isn't a good case and a
sure whiner, darling,” said Philip, en
thusiastically, as he folded Mabel in his
arms, “I wonder what is. Don’t you?”
Then he kissed her again, and said he
wouldn’t weary her with the dry details
of the law. It was very encouraging.
And thus hopefully they parted. Philip
went back to Philadelphia by a night
train, and Mabel returned to her father’s
house. But the deacon gave her a very
bad half-hour after Bupper. He said
Philip was nothing better than a beggar,
dependent upon his uncle's bounty; that
he was a menu fellow, and too dull to
succeed at any bar except a marble
topped one with bottles behind it, and
somebody with him before it to pay his
reckoning. He said many other things
about her lover that Mabel, being a high
spirited girl, could not stand at all. She
went to her room when she could restrain
her tears no longer, and when she had
locked her door, and relieve'* her heart
with such tears as she had not shed since
her mother died, twelve years beforc,she
decided that she could never again have
a home until Philip made one for her.
She had promised her lover that she
would never marry any other man; but
she had also promised her father that she
would not wed without his consent.
The situation was rather conflicting, and
only one thing was quite clear to her;
that was that neither Philip nor the
deacon should have an opportunity to
urge her to break either pledge. She
trusted her lover.and she trusted herself;
ami above all, she had a higher trust that
her dead '"ether had taught her. So
when skof pi • up a few articles of
clothing nall hand-bag, counted
her savings, w dch amounted to about
seveotv-five dollars, and stole away with
tho dawn unobserved by any one in the
house except the tooth-tortured servant,
she felt lonely, and perhaps a little fright
ened, but not at all the guilty conscience
stricken creature that the dcncoD and
most of the pious people of Squalacket
felt assured that she must be as soon as
her flight was discovered.
Deacon Stone was not, any time, a
man of many idoas. He had only room
for one now, at><i that liU .vayw*<l amd
rebellious daughter had gone to Phila
delphia to join Philip. He hastened
there as fa.il as steam could carry him,
and went at once to the law student’s
one dingy room in Arch Street. He
found its occupant wrestling manfully
with the Revised Statutes of Pennsylva
nia, and the earnestness with which he
assured his visitor that he was quite ig
norant of Mabel's movements as well as
his own distress as he heard of her flight,
wculd have convinced an unprejudiced
person that he spoke the truth. But the
deacon was a man of very fixed opinions.
He called the objectionable quality that
usually won for him his own way “de
termination.” His fellow church members
referred to it as “pig-headedness,” but
that was only when there was no chance
of his hearing of the term so applied.
He now openly refused to credit Philip’s
declaration. But the young man listened
to his rambling, vehemently told story,
and then with the same coolness and
deliberation that afterward greatly helped
him in the case of Colly vs. West, he
pretty thoroughly cross-examined him.
He learned enough about the scene in
the f arlor the night preceding Mabel’s
flight to give him a tolerably clear in
sight os to the actual state of affairs, and
his knowledge of the proud, self-reliant
character of the girl assured him that
when she returned it would be of her
owu free-will. Whatever efforts he made
to find her must be advanced with the
utmost delicacy, for he knew that any
thing like publicity would deeply offend
her. It was with great difficulty that he
finally persuaded the deacon to refrain
from taking the police into bis confi
dence; ami the old man departed,finally,
vowing that if his daughter were not
back in Squalacket before the end of the
week he would obtain a warrant for
Philip’s arrest, and raise such a hue-and
cry after Mabel as would lead to her dis
covery if she were still above ground.
Other and more important matters must
have claimed his attention, for, so far as
Philip could ascertain, he made no fur
ther attempt to find the fugitive.
And so the dreary weeks lengthened
into months. Mabel’s retreat was nearly
as muoh a mystery as ever—not as much,
for Philip received one short letter from
her, which relieved his anxiety. She
was in New York, and was safe and well.
She refused to tell him her address, but
promised to write to him again when
events justified such a course—say,when
the Philadelphia newspapers announced
that Colly had won his suit against West.
With this assurance he was obliged to be
contented; and in the early days of
December Philip was called to the bar.
But while one man may lead a horse
to the water, twenty men cannot make
him drink; and Philip soon found that
it is easier to become a barrister than to
find clients. The case of Colly vs. West
went over until the next term of the
court. The parsimonious uncle had
stopped supplies, and if the briefless
young lawyer had not succeeded in ob
taining a little literary work as book
reviewer for a newspaper, the room in
Arch street might have wanted a fire.
It was warm and cemrortable enough,
however, whon he hurried into it out of
the biting serene eveniogi and, lighting
the lamp, he saw that t\w* sealed enve
lopes lay upon the table. The one he
opened first contained a circular from a
New York land syndicate, setting forth
the great opportunities offered to obtain
prairie homes where the wilderness would
soon be made to blossom like a rose.
The address on the second envelope was
in writing that was strange to him. It
enclosed a letter from a lawyer, an
nouncing the sudden death of his uncle,
and his accession to a reasonably largo
fortune.
And now where was Mabel? She
would not communicate with him, he
knew, until good news reached her.
She might learn of a successful issue to
the suit of Colly vs. West, but how was
she to hear of this windfull unless he
told her of it? He was a comparatively
rich man now, but he cared nothing for
his wealth if Mabel could not share it with
him, and, with a great longing in his
heart, he took her last short bravo letter
from his desk and laid it on the table,
while he drew the lamp toward him. It
was beside the other two envelopes, but
he knew her writing well, and looked
fondly at the address as he picked up
one that bore it. Then he opened it, and
drew out the despised land circular. How
did that wretched advertisement get
there? Suddenly the blood rushed to his
forehead as he saw that the addresses on
both emvelopes were precisely similar.
Not for a moment did Philip doubt thal
they had both beeu written by Mable,
But how could such a thing have hap
pened?
The young man had not wasted his
time as a law student. Ho knew how to
weigh evidence, and in half an hour h
was on his way to New York. He has
tened to the office of the land syndicate,
which having a pressure of business on
hand, was still open, shewing people
how to acquire homes on the prairie. He
had little trouble in ascertaining that
Miss Mable Stone was one ot its army ol
workers who addressed envelopes, and i
young woman who was in the office gave
her address to him.
He found her with a long list of names
before her, and a box contiining a thou
sand envelopes on the table. She was
about to adress the first when he entered,
and said, quietly, “Let us do it to
gether, Mabel.”
In her amazement she nearly upset the
ink., but when ho had told his story she
was satisfied, and allowed him to help
her. Splendidly they, did it. Before
too o'clock th.oy .',udoa<£ n thou
sand envelopes, and earned seventy-five
cents between them. Then he left her,
but on the following day they journeyed
to Squalacket together, and Deacon
Stone, though at first inclined to turn
them both out of the house, was mollified
as soon as he heard of the altered aspect
of affairs, aud was easily induced to con
sent to their marriage. A lawyer was a
useful person to have in a family, any
how, he said, and as he was thinking of
suing the church trustees for applying
five dollars of the funds subscribed for a
new pulpit to the relief of a widow
whose husband had been killed on the
railroad track, it was well to be prepared
for emergencies.
Philip and Mabel were married when
the case of Colly vs. West was tried in
the Superior Court. Colly’s senior coun
sel was unable to attend, and the brunt
of the battle fell upon Philip. He won
it triumphantly. The jury gave Colly
six cents damages, but that carried the
costs.—Harper's Weekly.
The Eskimos Surely Starving.
Hitherto the Eskimos have depended
for food upon the whale, walrus, and
seal of the Coast and the fish of tho
rivers. The first three animals have also
supplied them with clothing, boats, and
all other necessaries of life. Fifty years
ago the whalers, having exhausted other
waters, sought the northern Pacific for
whales, pursuing them into Bering Sea,
and carrying the war of extermination
into the Arctic Ocean. At length the
few surviving whales have been driven
to the neighborhood of the pole, and
their species lias become well-night ex
tinct on the Alaskan coast. Respond
ing to a commercial demand for ivory,
the whalers’ turned their attention to
the walrus s.nd proceeded to wipe them
out of existence likewise. Sometimes as
many as two thousand of the valuablo
beasts would be slaughtered on a single
cake of ice, merely for their tusks. Thus
a walrus is hardly to be found to-day iu
those waters where so short a time ago
the animals were so numerous that their
bellowings were heard above the roar of
the waves and the grinding of the floes.
Seals and sea-lions are now getting so
scarce that the natives have difficulty in
procuring enough of their skins to cover
boats. They used to catch and cure great
quantities of fish in the streams, but
their supply from this source has recently
diminished owing to the establishment
of great cannaries which send millions
of cans of salmon out of the country an
nually and destroy vastly more by waste
ful methods. Improved firearms have
driven the wild caribou into the inac
cessible regions of the remote interior.
Thus the process of slow starvation
and depopulation has begun along the
whole Arctic coast of Alaska, and famine
is progressing southward year by year on
the shore of Bering Sea. Where vil
lages numbering thousands were a few
years ago, the populations have been re
duced to hundreds.—Boston Transcript.

Interesting Comments on the Situa
tion by the Reform Press.
Two hundred and fifty sub-treasury
alliance democrats from all over the State
of Texas met in the auditorium of the
eity hall at Dallas. The purpose of the
assen biy was to take steps towards the
organization of Jeffersonian Democracy
or a government of the people, for the
.people and by the people. The resolu
tions and platform adopted were in sub
stance identical with the Ocala demands.

Says the Southern Alliance Farmer:
i“lt is only a question of time when the
people will elect their own United States
This congress will not pass
isueh a measure, but the people will put
one there at tho next election that will.
The people are tired of a house of lords
over which they have little or no control.
'The present discussion of this question
will icsult in much good. The people
will open their eyes to the fact that the
senate has been a natural fraud since its
organization, representing the interest of
the money power and monopolies instead
of the people.”
*\
The Truth (San Antonio, (Tex.) says:
Each reader must always remember that
jit is not enough that he himself is con
vinced or thinks correctly, but it is abso
lutely necessary that a majority of the
voters in every state should be also con
vinced and got to vote right or our re
form cannot succeed. If our reform does
not succeed our pocket will not benefit.
If our pocket does not benefit ourselves 1
and our families, they will go hungry.'
It is therefore highly important, nay,
necessary that we be earnest in making
converts. Talk reform in season and out
of season at everybody at all times.
From now on every Alliance man should
constitute himself a reform propagandist.

The Alliance Tribune, (O’Neill, Neb.)
says: Both the old parties are wasting
great chunks of sympathy for the All”
ance because the Alliance Congressmen
refused to adopt any rule by which they
should all bo compelled to vote together
upon any particular measure. Why,
bless your dear souls, thut one, man pow
er. caucus rule, was one of tho things
which the Alliance was orgmzed to pro
test against. The caucus rule in Con
gross by which a few meu in and out of
Congress has been enabled to shape the
iegisiaiion of the country for the past
twenty-five years is the cause of the class
laws and speejal privileges which have
made millionaires and mortgages so plen

The People’s Economist (Thomasville,
Ga.) says: The Alliance has no war to
make on any profession or class except
such as take away the fruits of the labor
of the people under the guise of law.
It seeks to place farming and farmers on
a higher plane, and when this is done the
country will be more uniformly prosper
ous. The decadence of England begun
when the farmers of the sea girt isle be
gan to fall behind and to grow restive
under the unjust burdens they were bear
ing. Experience ought to suggest that
the best time to forestall such results is
to take time by the forelock, and begin
the work of reformation when the pre
monitory symptoms appear. This is what
the Alliance has sought to do.

The Messenger (San Miguel, Cal.) says:
Of all men the farmers are the most con
servative ;. they nre not visionaries nor
revolutionists, excepting in so far as the
revolution of political parties is con
cerned. The Alliance demands a reform
that will bring back this government to
the principles upon which it was
founded. The constitution provides that
government shall be administered in the
interests of the people—the masses. But
it has drifted into the hands of the poli
ticians and capitalists, who run it in
their own special interests. In order to,
again make this government a “govern
ment of the people” is why the farmers
have organized in Alliances. It is their
aim to wrest the government of this
country from the grasp of professional
politicians, corruptionists and monopo
lists.

The People’s Aid and Alliance Review
(Cincinnati, Ohio) says: Business men
should stop long enough to study tbe de
mands of the farmers before they decide
that the farmers are working against their
interests. What benefits tbe farmer ben
efits the business man. When the farmer
prospers the business man will share his
prosperity. Reduce the farmer to a mere
living and who would expect him to buy
luxuries? The demands of the farmer are
as necessary to the success of the merchant
as they are to the farmer. If any mer
chant will stop and think he will find
that tho 15,000 failures of last year will
teach him that bankruptcy is coming
closer borne every year, and that he has
no time to lose, nut should join the far
mers in forcing their demands to adopt
ion. We hope our readers will join ua
in promulgating this great project of
“unity” between the farmer, the mer
chant and the business men in general.
When fully consummated it will be a
grand thing. Why not?
***
The Alliance Herald (Montgomery,
Aia.) says: In the Brat efforts made for
relief of the people by the Congressmen
who are flooding Congress with bills,
why do not these wiseacres study the prob
lem and seek to remedy it? How will any
measures offered be capable of redeeming
90 per cent of the homes of farmers in
this county from mortgages? How will
any of them stop the robbery of the peo
ple by trusts, combines and syndicates,
which aggregate about two hundred and
fifty millions per annum? How will any
of them stop the robbery of the people
by taxation imposed by railroads to pay
dividends on watered stocks and bonds?
None of them try 1o meet the demands
of either of these factors in the problem.
Sincere efforts to meet these demands are
what the exigencies demand. No meas
ute that is not based on a knowledge of
he problem and made to conform to its
demands will meet tho requirement.
Twothirds of the bills introduced are
tubs thrown to the whale —bamboozling

The hungry man in the city and the
hungry man in the country have the same
grievances, says the Cincinnati Herald.
The city laborer working half time for a
pittance is in the same boat with the
faimer whose products don’t pay tho
cost of production. The merchant fleec
ed by the real estate shark, the loan
shark, the trust shark, ibe railroad
shark, and through them is driveu into
bankruptcy, la a victim of the same
evils that are transforming the mortgaged
fanners into tenants. The man who lives
by speculation; by collecting dividends
on watered stock; by abs<rbiug the pro

WAKE CP I
The Farmers Advocate (Charlestown,
W. Va.) says: When the farmers owned
this country forty years ago, they con
trolled its legislation and rendered every
class of busine-s profitable. In 1892,
when they own only 20 percent, of tho
wealth of the country, and every' branch
of the government has passed out of
their hands, paralysis of business of every
character has followed, and it has be
come difficult for many to even obtain
subsistence in a land of plen
ty. Farmers, remember that the
reins of government have simply
passed out of your hands, but not beyond
your control, if you make up your minds
to influence their management or regain
control of them. Isn’t your situation a
sufficient commentary on tho wrongs you
have endured, ere you wake up. Verily,
“a little more sleep; a little more slum
ber, and your poverty cometh as an
irmed man.” Will you sleep on and
lose your heritage?
PLANT LESS COTTON.
The Cotton Plant, organ of the South
Carolina State Alliance, has this to say
about the necessity for a reduction in the
cotton acreage: “The convention of
cotton growers which met by appoint
ment last week in Augusta, recommended
a reduction of 20 per cent, in the area
planted. We trust that this recommen
dation will be adopted by every farmer,
ft is utter nonsense to talk or to think
about the probability of your neighbors
planting less while you plant as much
or more than you did last year.
The only way to reach tbe end propos
ed is for each farmer to covenant with
himself not to plant within 20 per cent,
as many acres as he planted lust vtar.
Any plan that proceeds upon a different
line is doomed to disappointment—dis
appointment of the individual farmer,dis
oppointment and disaster to the country
at large. Let each individual realize
that there is no money but actual loss for
him in any acre above 80 per cent of
what he planted last year; and then act
like an intelligent business man.
DON TOUR ARMOR AND FIGHT.
We sometimes hear it said that “Right
will win.” This not necessarily so by any
means; almost every day we see wrong,
tyranny and oppression trample right,
truth *and justice under foot. But there
are conditions under which right will
always win. What are they 1 When right
is ably and as persistenly championed
and backed by as many supporters as
wrong, it will always win. In fact, right
will often win when backed by less
ability and persistency and inferior num
bers, but when the preponderance is too
great, right goes down. A man’s cause
may be just and yet he may go dowo be
cause he has not the manhood and the cour
age to stand and persistenly fight for the
right world without end. Yes, thrice
armed is he whose cause is just, but if
he fails to use the weapons and advan
tage which justice gives him, nine times
out of ten he will go down in defeat.
Now here is a lesson for the members of
the Alliance and the other soldiers of re
form. The Alliance is right, but it wiL
not, cannot win unless we fight for thu
cause. Then let us, let every reformer,
every lover of right and enemy of wrong,
buckle on the armor of truth and fight
without ceasing. Yes, fight as long as
SINGLE COPY 3 CENTS,
wrong exists, and let every delay and the
appearance of every new wrong be u new
inspiration to the soldiers of reform and
perfect liberty. —The Caucasian.
THE WEEK’S PROGRAM
In the House and Senate Promises to
be Uneventful.
A Washington dispatch of Sunday
says: The week in congress is likely to
be uneventful. Although both houses
will reasemble Tuesday, it is improbable
that a quorum of congress will be pres
ent until the following day. TheClager-
Dubers contested election case will come
up in the senate as unfinished busi
ness, and may consume several days
in its discussion; the Paddock pure food
bill is set down as the next subject for
consideration, and a prolonged debate up
on the merits of the measure is inevita
ble. These matters will probably oc
cupy the a’tendon of the senate
during the legislative week.
When the house reassembles, accord
ing to an understanding heretofore
reached, it will begin consideration of its
first election contest, namely, that of
Craig vs. Stewart, from Pennsylvania,
and it is possible that the contest will
last two days. The Indian appropriation
bill is unfinished business before the
bouse. Considerable progress was made
in its consideration during the two days
of the past week when it was under dis
cussion. Any time in addition to one
legislative day devoted to the Indian
appropriation bill will militate against
the private bills which are entitled to
engross the whole of Friday when there
is not some latter of the privilege of
greater importance before the house.
Saturday is what may be termed an
“open day” in the popular branch of
congress, nothing being set down for
that day.
The democratic caucus is a part of the
programme for the week, and it is ex
pected that in this caucus the party pol
icy of the r anaindcr ofthe session on the
tariff and silver questions will bedicussed
with vigor and earnestness
