But be heeded not fragrance of roses,
And his features were shadowed with
And his sighs bore an infiaite burden,
And be lifted his roice and hs said,

.Oh, I die for the sweet Beggar-Maid.
Kiss Cophetua stood in bis castle,

When I think of the sweet Beggar-Maid.”
Riog Cophetua looked at his treasures,
At his silser and then at his gold,
At bii pearls, and his diamonds and rabies,
At bis riches all counted and told ;
But they faded away from before him,
And their glitter was dimmed, and he
said;
uAII these treasures seem tinsel and bau

When I think of the sweet Beggar Maid.'
ging Cophetua gathered bis nobles,
And hi seated himself on bis throne,
And bespoke to iheui royally, nobly.
Like a kiag in the midst of his own ;
And they listened in sileuee, in wonder,
And they stood without speech when he
said;

And they told her the words of the King;

For your pearls and your diamonds and

ganization which is spreadiug rap
idly iu some of fhe Southern States:
This new organization for t e
benefit of the fanners is meeting
with perhaps greater favor than
any similar institution that has ever
existed. The rapid growth and im
men.se popularity of the Alliance is
evidence of an almost universal sen
tiuieut among fanners that some
concerted action must be taken to
reassert and maintain their inde
pendeuce, and to defend themsejves
against monopoly and extortion.
Asa means of disseminating im
formation, encouraging home inde
pendence aud self reliance, of resist
ance to extortion and concerted ac
tion in all matters of general inter
est to the agriculture of the couu
try, this organization promites to
be of immense benefit. In view of
the past history of similar coopera
live movements it behooves the in
telligent, leading members, to steer
as wide as possible of the dangers
that beset all such efforts. Farm
ers should -remember that there is
more promise of good result and
practical benefit to themselves from
changes that may be effected iu
their own systems and methods,
than from efforts made to change
the methods of others.
It is true that farmers as a class
have been for years betwem the
upper and nether millstones, and
the pressure of the grinding lias
generally been severe. It is hop
mg against hope—against uniform
experience—agairst human nature
—to expect to reduce ureas iu one
crop aud increase areas in another,
by mere force of resolutions and
pledges. There must be a con vie-
tiou upou the mind of each individ
ual fatmer that a particular plan of
action, or radical change of system,
is tlie best lor him—regardless of
what others may do. The safe and
wise course lor any farmer to pur
sue is that which does not depend
for success upou an unenforced ami
uuequailed co operation on the part
of others.
It will be the pleasure of'.he com
missioner to co operate with the
new organization ru all practical
efforts to advance the interest ot
our common agiiculture, aud to
build up anew the independence
and prosperity of the farmers of
Georgia.

The Best we Have Ever Had
Uol. A. K. McClure, edi or of the
Philadelphia Times, was interview-
ed by a reporter for the Denver
Nacs some days ago. Here is what
he said about President Cleveland :
“The fact is that Mr. Cleveland
is a greater man than his party.
Instead of leading him, he does 'he
leading I think he is the Lest
President we have, ever had, as
strong and substantial as any man
could be. He doesn’fear the party
aud, ou the eoutrrry, it fears hitr,
and so they have to let him lead.
He maps out bis policy aud the
leaders of Democracy adhere to its
principles. He permits no man to
dictate to him, and when once he
has made up his mind that a thing
is light, no m. n can change it.
Don’t construe my meaning to be
that be is obstinate, but simpiy
that be is firm after convincing
himself that the stand he assumes
is justified by circumstances and
acts. He does not possess the mag
uelis n or personal popularity of
Mr. Blaine, but be has that stabili
ty which recommends him to busi
ness men. They know that his ad
ministration is not as brilliant as
that which possibly Mr. Blaine
would give us; they also know that
there is nothing erratic or loose
about it. I regard his first term as
being a conservative and substau
tial one, free trom any signs of
weakness, aud beneficial to the
country at large. He is not gov
erned by party demands, aud does
not permit them so interfere with
what he regards to be bis doty.
Mr. Thurman will add strength to
the ticket, as he is an able states
man aud a man ot good principles.”

Who Knows Anything About It ?
(From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.)
Kansas City, Mo., June 9.-.
John, Preston and Joseph Atkin
son, ihree brothers came from Dar
lingtou, hi. 0 , late last February
aud settled in Armourdale. They
secured work in Swift’s packing
bouse and began to save every cent
they could earn. When they had
sufficient money lots were purchas
ed and lumber enough to build a
couple of modest houses were ad-
del to the bsothersV possessions
•toter on- They were all practical
carp nters and John was commist
missioned to construct the houses
while the other brothers kept on
with their work iu the packing
house. After a time other carpen
ters were hired and just as the lit,
tie dwellings were about completed
and the boys were making ready to
send for their old father, John took
sick with malaria. He died after a
week’s illness and in less than two
weeks the other brothers, Joe and
Ptestou, also died of the same ail
ment. Before the father, who is
70 years old, could be sent for the
bodies were interred at Oakland
Cemetery, and before he had time
to arrive thieves entered the house
where the trunks of the dead
brothers were and rifled them, tak*
ing away considerable clothing.
While John, who was the oldest,
was ou his death bed he made a
will giving all his property to a
man named Tihbits. The father
lias instituted a suit iu the Courts
to break the will on the ground that
Ills son was out ot his bead at the
time he made it. The old father has
no money* and with the exception
of two very young sops lias no rela
tives.

Novel, But True-
(Pee Dee Indea.)
Ward’s Seminary, located, in
Nasbville, Tenn , on® of the largest
schools for girls in tbe South, was
recently the scene of a -‘strike” of
a very peculiar nature. The class
in history were called on to recite a
lesson in which it was stated that
Jefferson Davis was captured at the
close of tbe war disguised in wo
man’s raiment. Tbe young ladies
were indignant and refused to pro
oeed with the rrcitation and tbe
class was dismissed. The result
was that another history accurate
aud fair in its statements in regard
to tbe part taken in the war by tbe
boys who wore the grey has had to
be adopted.
Tbe action oi these daughters of
oar lair South land affords an ex
ample which a certain class of oar
men might follow with an accession
of honor to themselves, Some of
onr pusillanimous, “silver tongned”
orators who never tire of delight
ing Northern audiences with an ac
count of our eiaa * and our subse
quent repentance should go to tnese
young girla for a much needed lea

conclusion concerning the ben and
