A. Altland.
So our old saloon friend Aaron claims
full freedom to eat and drink" and we
claim full freedom to publish the STARK
COUNTY DEMOCRAT and make it a truth
telling newspaper. Now, ne are fully
agreed on both propositions, so Aaron may
rest easy and "eat, drink and be merry
hoping neither he nor his will ever become
"one in the hundred that makes hogs of
themselves"
1t seems that we had stopped the DEM
ooRAT to Mr.. Altland, but by some mis-
take unknown TO US, it was sent on again.
1t was all right, however, with Aaron, till
quite recently
Now, we accord to Mr.. Altland, or to
any one else, full liberty-under the law,
and we claim the same. We say, then,
let US have liberty-Iiberty to do right
not liberty TO do Wrong-not liberty to
trample under foot righteous laws, passed
for the protection of weak men and weak
er women, and their innocent children
Laws are enacted to protect society, and
all good citizens obey the laws, while these
who violate them must be dealt with &C

An Indiana Romance,

Terra Haute Express.
She couldn't see il in that light.
She didn't want To marry him, and
he was bound she should. They
both lived couple of miles from
the city, and near nelghbors. She
refused to listen to his conrting, and
he grew desperate So he went off
to the west. and while ont there
persuaded a friend to write a lettor
saying that he was dead, and as his
dying request, that she might, il
she ever went that way, stop for q
moment and toss a weed or per.
chance Hover ON hia lonely grave.
This was tender, but it didn't take
worth n cent, and she wrote back q
letter to the friend, saying If he
had any consideration for her feel
ings at all to send her the dead
lovers watch and chain. his money,
and all his valuables To carry out
his plans, the dead man sent home
his brass jewelry and other effects,
and she Immediately proceeded to
don the trinkets and start to singing
school with the chosen "feller" of
her heart. On their way back home
the paIr were startled by the ap-
partition of the lost lover, clad in
ghOstl y white, but with the old
lineaments intact The young man
fled, but the girl stood still, and put
ting up paw which resemhled

If the ghost wanted to be kicked to

was really the person of her dead
lover. The fellow had played .

Spanish Cruelty.

A most touching instance of hero
ism and one of the most atrocious
acts of cruelty, the truth of which
is vouched for by the most respecta-
Bile authority, occurred during the
Colombia struggle for independence.
The Spanish General MCrrillo, the
most blood thirsty and treacherous
tool of the Spanish king, was
created Count of Cartagena and
Marquis de la Pueria for service
which rather entities him to the
butcher or hangman.
While seated in his tent one day
he saw a young boy before him
drowned in tears The chief de-
manded of him for what purpose
ne was there The child replied
that he bad come to beg the life Of
his father, then prisoner in MOril-
los camp. "What can you do to
save your father?" said the General.

shall be DONE" Morillo seized the

certainly would" was the nndaunt-
ed reply. The boy wept but did
not resist while the barbarous order
was executed. "Would you loose
your other ear rather than fail
of your purposeY' was the next
question. II have suffered much,
but for my father [ can suffer still"
was the answer of the boy. The
other was taken off piece-meal with
out fiinehing on the part of the no.
bic boy. sand now gor' exclaimed
Morlllo, untouched by such sublime
courage; "the father of such o son
must die" In the presence of his
sgonized and vainly suffering son,
the patriot father was executed.
Never did q life picture exhibit such
truthful lights and shades in ma.
tional character; such deep, treaeh.
erous viIlainy; such lofty, enthusias-
tic heroism.

Our Owns.
BY MRS. SARA woLvERroN.

we do not care for the strangers hand
All aching of heart to hold.
Ii would not rest, like our CONS warm
clasp
Nor strengthen those fingers fold.
We do not care for the strangers smile
The outlook so dark and drear,
We crave Our Owns to part the rift,
The way thro' the depths to cheer.
We do not care for the strangers voice,
Its echo wakes no accord,
But volumes of joy roll out and out,
When Our Owns fond tones are heard.
We do not care for the strangers step,
Unmeasured its printlings fall;
But times too slow, impatient we wait.
When Our Owns on the crossings fall.
We do not welcome the strangers kiss,
Tho worship were silent writ;
Our 0'cn's has something-the angels
know
More precious by far in it.

BY MARIAN DOUGLAS, IN MARCH ATLANTIC

BY MARIAN DOUGLAS, IN MARCH ATLANTIC
| Home from the mill came Patience Dow
She did not smile, she wOnld not talk;
And now she was all tears, and now,
As fierce as is a captive hawk.
Tnmindful of her faded gown,
She sat with folded hands all day,
Her long hair falling tangled down,
Her sad eyes gazing far away,
Where, past the fields. silver line,
She saw the distant river shine.
But, when she thought herself alone,
One night, they heard her mutterins
low,
In such II chill, despairing tone,
1t seemed the east winds sullen moan
"Ah me, the days, they move so slow
| care not If they're fair or fonl;
They creep alOng-I know not how;
| only know he loved me once
He does not love me now"
One morning, vacant was her room;
And, nsthe clover wet with dew,
4 narrow line of broken bloom
Showed some one had been passing
through;
And, following the track, it led
Out where the thormy blackberries shed
Their blossoms in the narrow lane,
Down which the cattle went 10 drink
In summer. from the rivers brink.
''The riverl" Hope within them sank j:
The fatal thought that drew her there
They knew, before, among the rank.
White-blossomed weeds upon the hank,
They found the shawl she used TO wear,
And on it pinned little note:
"Oh, blame me nOt.' thread, "for when
] once am free, my soul will float
To him. He cannot leave me then.

] go from life-I care not how;
I only know he loved me once
lie does not love me now ~
In the farm graveyard meath the black,
pine-trees on the hill,
The poor, worn form the stream gave
back
They laid in slumbcr, cold and still.
Her secret slept with her: none knew
Whose tickle smile had left the pain
That cursed her life; to one thought
true,
Her visiOm-hauntcd, wandering brain,
Secure from all, hid safe from blame,
In life and death had kept his name.
Yet. often, with thrill of fear,
Her mother, as she lies awake
AT night, will fancy she can hear
A voice, whose tone is like the drear,
Low sound the graveyard pine-trees
make:
Il know not if tits right or wrong
go from life-I care not how;
