All theories which have refined and exat.
ed humanity, or those which have been de-
viSed as alleviatons Of its mistakes and
evils, have been based upon the elementary
emotions OF dlsinterestedness which we feel
TO constitute the ma jesty Of our nature
Patriotism as il existed in the ancient re.
publics, was never, as has been supposed,
calculation OF personal advantages.
When Mutius Scpvoa thrust his hand
into the burning Goals, and Regulus return
ed to Carthage, and Epicharis sustained the
rack silently, in torments, of which she
knew that she would speedily perish, rather
than betray the consPirators TO the tyrant;
these iIustrious persons certainly made
small estimate Of their private interest. II
il be said that they sought posthumous fame,
Instances are not wanting in history, which
prove that men have even defed infamy
for the sake of good. But there is great
error in the world with respect TO the sci
ishness of fame. 1t is certainly possible
that person should seek distinction as a
medium Of personal qualification. But the
love of fame is frequently no more than q
desire that the feelings Of others should con-
firm, illustrate, and sympathze with our
own. In this respect, il is allied with all
that draws US out Of ourselves. 1t is the
- last infrmity Of noble minds"
Chvalry was likewise founded on the
theory of selfsacriice. Love possesses so
extraordinary a power over the human
heart, only because disinterestedness is uni
ted with the natural propensities. These
propensities themselves are comparatively
important in cases where the Imagination
Of pleasure to be given as well as TO be re-
ceived, does not enter into the account
lie; 1t not be objected that patriotism, and
chlvaIry, and sentimental love. have been
the fountains Of enormous mischief. They
are cited only to establish the proposition
that, according 10 the elementary plinci
pies Of mind, man is capable of desiring
and pursuing good Ior its own sake.--Srel-
ley.

paw-but one stroke of that overpowering
eloquence before which kings tremble and
despots bow, made the hero Of New Or
leans quake on his throne, and restore 10
the polluted altar of liberty, the blood.stained
edict which he had seized with delight. ]
repeat it sir, such an instance of the power
of mind over the daring passions Of des-
potism had never been exhibited to the
world. There was wreath Of civil re-
nown-a halo of immortal glory around
the brow Of Henry Clay in that hour
which presents him in bold relief as the
greatest orator, the purest patriot, and
most magnanimous statesman in the uni.
verse. Talk Of Calhoun, sir, as the great
Hercules of mind and spirit-great indeed
are the powers of Hercules, but great as
Hercules is, the lion of Democracy had
him bound in cords of hemp, and whetting
his bloody fangs, he was ready to tear the
Herculean giant into thousand atoms.
Talk Of Webster as the great master
spirit of the age-great indeed is Webster
but Webster was there, sir, and great as
he is, he had not the heart TO approach the
open jaws and bloody fangs of the bowling
lion, and bid him stay his wrath Twas
reserved for the noble daring of Clay to
do the deed, and it was done

Correspondence Of the Times.
WARSAW, March 18th, 1914.

Messrs. Benson Il GREEN:-We have
this day had Major Fisk, of Fayette, with
US. He has announced himself as an in
dependent candidate for Congress, and has
just finished making a speech TO large
concourse of citizens Of this county, all of
whom listened with attention and gave
great applause to the remarks which were
made by him. He exposed in mastery
and eloquent style the oppression and in
Justice Of the Fayette Clique, and showed
that the Clique opposed the distric,ing of
the State; not because il was wrong in
principle, but because it would tend TO
curail the overgrown and unwarraniable
influence which that Clique, under the d..
reclion of Thomas ii. Benton, had been
enabled TO WELD throughout the State.
Major Fisk delivered an address to the cit-
zens of Calhoun, in Henry county, on
Saturday last, which won from the crowd
great praise.
Major Fisk's announcement, as a candi-
date for Congress, is received with uni
versal appreciation by the mass of citizens
throughout all the country as far as he
has been. They look up to him as the
champion of the principles of the Inde-
pendent democratic party, and as the ad-
vocate of correct principles who will
"beard the clique lion in his den.'
He advocates all the principles set forth
in Judge Aliens circular. We are happy
to learn that there is one in Howard who
dares have the firmness and independence
to come out in bold and independent
style, contrary to the denunciations of the
clioue and regardless of anv caucus or
convention dictation.
From the present indication of the times
he will receive the universal suffrages of
the people here without regard to party
names. have just learned from him that
he is to address the citizens of Niangua
county tomorrow. 1t will be favorable
time as the Circuit Court will be in session
this week. 1t is stated that he is to go
as far as Polk county before he returns to
Howard. Very Respectfully.

Here, it will he seen, that instead Of an
increase from this time, 1912, (when the
tariff was owest) in the manufacturers
prices of cotton goods, there is positive
reduction, averaging o per cent, although
raw cotton has risen in the same time,
until cotton is now 25 per cent. higher
than in 1912. (See yesterdays cotton cir.
cuar of Rising & Harris, free trade cotton
brokers, 81 Wall street, which states the
average price Of fair New Orleans cotton
in 1912 at tic. and its present average
price 8! certs) If however, cotton were
as high in Feb. 1912, as at present, there
would still be q clear reduction Of 10 per
cent. on the above cotton goods below the
low duty prices Of that year.

ton to the Gdrance Of rool. That most goods
are somewhat higher now than last year
this time, when several causes conspired 10
reduce them below all precedent and ruin
many producers, we do not doubt. But
last Spring the tariff was the same as now,
the nature Of the controversy as well as
the demand of the Plebian compcls US to
compare the present high tariff prices
with those which prevailed under the lower
duties. And we defy the Pleban TO bring
any respectable house 10 certify that there
has been any such advance in goods as it
asserts, comparing present prices with
those Of either 1871 or 1912.

Coop ADyIcE.-t.irIs are somewhat de-
ceiving in their appearances. Most Of
them wear false smiles, false color, false
bosoms. false hips, and false retrospective
projections. vuIgarly called 'bustles.' Young
men who think of committing matrimony,
should bc careful. and never get taken in
by fastening their affections upon any Of
the female tribe who are made up wholly
Of falsities; for like whipporwils, when
YOU come to strip the feathers of. there is
nothing left of them.

MY listers.
BY AMELIA.

Like flowers that softly bloom together,
Upon one fair and fragile stem,
MingIing their sweets in sunny weather.
Ere strange rude hands have parted them
So were we linked unto each other,
Sweet sisters! in our childish hours,
For then one fond and gentle mother
To US was like the stem to flowers,
She was the golden thread that bound US
In one bright chain together here,
Till Death unoosed the cord around US,
And we were severed far and near
The howret's stem, when broke or shatter'd,
Must cast its blossoms to the wind
Yet round the buds, though widely scatter'd
The same soft perfume still we find;
And thus, although the tie is broken
That ur'd US round our mothers knee,
The memory of words we've spoken
When we were children light and free,
Will, like the perfume of each blossom
Live in our hearts where'er we roam,
As when we slept on one fond bosom,
And dwelt within one happy home.
Sweet sisters we are not The same,
For different paths now lie before US,
And all three have a different name;
And yet If Sorrows dmming fingers
Have shadow'd DER each youthful brow.
So much of light around them fingers,
can trace these shadows now,
Ye both have those who love We only,
Whose dearest hopes are round We thrown
While, like a stream that wanders lonely,
Am |, the youngest, widest one.
My heart is like the wind tina! beareth
Sweet scents upon its unseen wing
The wind that for no creature caretb,
Yet stealeth sweets from every thing;
|: hath richthoughts forever leaping
Up, like the robes of flashing seas
That with their music still are keeping
Soft time with every itful breeze;
Each leaf that in the bright air quiyers.
The sounds from hidden solitudcs,
And tue deep flow of raroff waves
And the loud rush Of many floods
All these, and more, stir in my bosom
Feelings that make my spirit glad,
Like dew-drops shaken in a blossom
And yet there is something sad
Mix'd with those thoughts, like clouds that hoy,
Above US in their quiet air.
Yelling the moons pale beauty over
Like a dark spirit broodng there.
But, sisters! those wild thoughts were never
Yours, for ye would not love, like me,
To gaze upon the stars forever,
To hear the winds wild melody
Ye'd rather look on smiling faces,
And linger round cheerful hearth,
Than mark the stars bright hiding places
As they peep out upon the earth
But sisters. as the stars Of even
Shrink from days golden flashing eye.
And. melting in the depths Of Heaven,
Veil their soft beams within the sky;
So will we pass, the joyous hearted
The fond, the young, like stars that wane,
TIL every link Of earth be parted,
To form in Heaven ONE MAGIC CHAIN

No wonder now that time should linper.

but cultivate, on the contrary, every soft
affection. 1t will soon become an easy
task, for one good feeling suggests and sup
