Manten of Romance. Above her alabaster brow Her hair is like spun gold; Her eyes beneath shine like thc stars: Ker mouth's of rosebud mold. Her nose is something quite sublime; Her cheeks arc rose and cream. She glides,she floats-she does not walk This evanescent dream. Her heart, how very frail it is. Pierced through with Cupid's darts! Her constitution's quite as weak: She dots on fits and starts. " A vision of loveliness. Worth many thrusts of lance! A dream got up in silk and lace. This maiden of romance!

Keels.-The State, Mia. ?he South Has No Share /A the Enormous Amounts Paid for Pensiona. Henry Fields says io his great paper : **\Ve ^believe that the president has become more than ever convinced by this Southern journey that the South is as mach interested io good govern? ment as the North, and that it ts as much in earnest to solve it? own pro? blems iu ihe best possible manu^r as the North is to solve its own uo less perplexing difficulties.**' Kind words from Mr Fields, and he always speaks them. In alluding to the pr?sident*? speeches along the tine, he says: * 'His frank and well consid? ered words must.bring about amore kindly feeling between men of all varie? ties of opinion.** We hope. so. We liked bis speeches very much, (br they were kinder than we expected ; but from the first to the last he pressed the point that all the citizens of this great nation now shared equally io the blessings and the benefits of our nation? al government, ls that so ? Neither Mr. Fields nor President Harrison understands the Southern peo pie. The very best people of the North do not understand us and Fm afraid they never will. "Put yourself in his place'' is a maxim with which they make no experiment. I wish President Harrison could have been in Atlanta or some other Southern city on decoration day and witnessed the loyalty of our people to our Confederate Bead -the reverence for the lost cause-and he might have realized something of that deep, undying sentiment which still glows io Southern hearts and burns brighter as the years roll on. While there is- neither treason, nor hatred, nor regret in it, there is nevertheless a < oosciousnes8 of moral rectitude that makes us feel all the more bitterly the humiliation of being under the ban of Northern tyranny. If we be friends and brethren theo why is this discrimi? nation in blessings and benefits kept up ? If the blue and the gray meet ogether and shake hands and declare all estrangement buried why are they not made equal before the law. The Northern idea seems to be that we be? haved very bad, but that they in their magnanimity have forgiven us. But we do not feel that we behaved bad at all, and don't want any forgiveness. We want justice. We tried to separate -to dissolve partnership and that's all there is in it, and we feel that we had a right to do it, and every decision made on that question by the supreme court leans that way, and that is the reason i why the government dideot dare to try Jefferson Davis for treason. They knew that their own supreme court . wouldn't let him be convicted. Then i why are we shut out from sharing in ail the benefits and blessings? How long is punishment to go on ? How long are we to pay pension money to their soldiers and get none for our own ? ?That debt is now swelled to $150,000, 090 a year, and the South pays one third of it. A thousand millions have ai ready been paid out since the war to pensions, and the wonder is that we have been able to live and get along. We pay our part through the operations of the tariff, and no man knows how much he pays. If it were a direct tax upon us and was collected like our State and County 'taxes, our people would despise the -government for its tyranny and be ready at any time to throw off the yoke that bound them. In case of a foreign war the North wouldn't be safe a moment, for the strength of a republican government is in the hearts of the people. If by the next session of congress there should be precipi? tated a war with England or Germany, the first bill passed would be an act to pension our invalid soldiers and to re? peal that outrageous law that now pro hi bita any one engaged in tee late rebel? lion from holding any office in the army or navy. Equal blessings and benefits would come io a hurry. That cotton tax of $13,000.000 that the Supreme Court of the United States has long since declared illegal would be refunded to os in double quick. Why has it not been refunded ? Is there any other reason but that the debt is due to the South ? Is a Northern democrat any better friend to the South than a North? ern republican ? If he is, why do they not press this act of justice ? Why do tbej all, both democrats and republi? cans, compel us to help them pay their debts aod withhold from us what their own courts have declared due us ? Just stop for a moment and think of the State of Illinois drawing $12,000,000 a year from th? treasury for pension money. She drew $9.000.000 last year, and it will be $12.000,000 this year. Why if Georgia drew $1,000, 000 we would feel rich. Its benefits and blessings would be felt /rom the mountains to the seaboard. You see it would be a gift-a gratuity-that dident have to be worked for. No labor or toil or sweat, and it would come twice every year and we would aH get some. I wonld have a pocket full and Major Foote a bat full and Cobe a great wad of money, and we would spend it freely and scatter it, and our folks would ruo down to Atlanta every week and buy dressing. Good gracious bow it would help Atlanta ! I wish that Cobe could get a pension for himself and his mule and a whole lot of back pay. I would like to see his eyes roi! around and watoh him shift his tobacco from one jaw to the other. Well, now in the abstract and the concrete Cobe is just as much entitled to a pension before the law and before the Lord as any sol? dier in the yankee nation. He lived right close by a darkey who got a pen? sion of $1,000 all in a lump, and he never done a thing but steal chickens for the yankee officers. I read the other day io the Youth's Companion about a man applying for a pension be? cause he cut his foot with . an axe that he brought home from the army, ile got it, I reckon-they all get it, and they never die. I wooder if they wouident consent to pension our confederate widows? They never fought much, and it looks like they have suffered enough. Our own legislature undertook to pension tbem last year, but the members were a new set and not used to guessing, and they guessed there were about GOO in the state, and they appropriated $60,000 so as to give them $100 apiece, and now it turns out there are over 6,000, and the ery is, still they come. Old Carroll sends up a roll of 110 who are living within her boundaries. Hurrah for Carroll. Her married men went to the war, and they not only fought and bled, but they died for liberty. But there is no money for these widows. I wish there was ; and now if Mr. Har? rison wants to do thc clean thing when he gets back, let him send in a message to pension our widows. That's the road to peace. AH this other sort of peace is pot on and patched ap, and don't last any longer than the cham? pagne. I tell you Mr. President, we have endured a sight Your own war debt was $3,000,000,000 and we bad to help on that. You took our negroes and our property and gutted our churches and never paid us a cent. Old England emancipated her slaves and paid the owners $300,000,000 for them, but the modem idea of jos tice is "That they shall take who have the power, And they shall keep who can." Blessings and benefits! Contemplate the picture. One state drawing $12. 000,000 a year and another state draw? ing nothing, and taxed besides to pay $3,000,000 of the $12,000,000. How in the world did the south ever rise from her ashes and stand up and flourish under such burdens-and tc-day her farmers don't carry one-fcurth of the mortgages that the northern farmers do. And now comes the Colombian exposition, at Chicago, that congress appropriated $5,000,000 to, and the Sooth mast pay ber part of that, and they will ask for $5,000,000 more and get it. Anything to gut the treasury and make a high tariff a necessity. AU that was a part of the plan of the protec? tionists. Gut the treasury and the tariff must come. Mr. Cleveland left ninety millions and it ?sall gone and McKinley boasted the other day in a speech that "we paid our debts with it-debts to the old heroes of the war." There are some of us who take but little stock in Chicago. It will be a job and a grab all round for there are millions in it. The woman's branch of the concern started ont like the south was to have a showing and they throwed our Mrs. Felton boDe but there was nothing on it and then they told her to go, and she went. I asked her the other day when she was going back to help on the concern, and she said: . 'Never-bless your sool, they don't want me. I've done had my pie; I've got my discbarge, but no pension. ' I am at home cooking for the darkies. I get up every morning by daylight and oook breakfast for the farm negroes, for the crop is behind and we can't hire a cook. Ido the milking and churning too, and I am trying to forget Chicago. They lifted me up aod then set me down hard, but I feel better afc home-I do." That is about the size of it. Of all the scores of committee women and salaried officials they have not taken one from the Old Dominion nor the Carolinas nor Georg:a, Alabama or Mis? sissippi. Too poor or too ignorant or too democratic or something. We were banking on Mrs. Felton, and some of my folks were plottiog to get on her staff and draw salaries and play round and bask in her sunshine. The prospect .'was bright, was beautiful, but 'tis past." Mrs Felton is cooking for the darkies and my wife is broshiog down the cobwebs and wearing her old clothes as usual. Aias, for human hopes ! Blessed are they who expect little, for they shall not be disappointed. ? BILL A RP. LADIES Needing atonic, or children who want build? ing up, should take BROWN'S 1KO-* BITTERS.
