We all have waking visions-I have mine,
fair,
sometimes dream of love.
And sitting all alone, and musing still,
While yet the freight iickers dim,
/ ask myself, IL should learn 70 love,
II my still heart could wake 10 life,
How would love, and how would be loved
For l am weary of idOlatry.
My soul is faint within me while think
OF all the fierce, strong passion
have seen and known, reSistless in its might
As some rock-cleaving stream.
1 would be loved in calmness-
Trusted, and not feared.
He whom loved should be my king,
And not my slave.
do not ask that he be proud and cold,
But calm, and grave, and very strong
A king, like Saul, among the sons of men,
And kinglier DER himself.
He must not tremble at my slightest froWn.
Nor shudder if another meets my eye;
Nor must he, like vassal, crave my smile
Glad in the dust before my feet to lie
For am weary of servility.
/ would not rule, nor would vet be ruled;
i scorn the tyrant as / scOrn his slave.
There is a love of sweet equality,
The love God gave and smiled upon;
For II was very good.
He whom love must be my King,
But must be his Queen;
And he should yield me, as my tribute due,
The reverence had earned,
Not only by my womanhood, but by all gentle
ness,
Long-suffering, the patient sweetness
Only love can teach;
For looking on me he should feel and know
That peace and rest which follow after toll;
In me his heart should in such safety trust
That he should "haye no need of spoil"
do not ask for him the worlds applause,
The blaze of heraldry, the pOmp of fame;
His deeds thaannals of a nations pride,
His name upon the lips of men;
But must feel his power
Must know he could be what earth's heroes
arc
1 could not love him were he not great.
His hand must be both safe and strong;
A hand to shield, to trust, TO lay my own within,
To take my life upon;
A hand that might have fought with Hercules,
Yet would not harm the worm in his path.
For tho the heart of woman lOveth oft
A thing she doth unwillingly despise
1t is a pitiful, imperfect love that hath not
For its cornerstone the rock of Faith.
His heart must be most tender and most true
heart that loves, and pities, and befriends
Earth's suffering children, whether high
Or yet among the lowly and the poor
And he must love me perfectly.
II from the first fruits of my hearts fair wealth
bring an offering for a lOve-crown made,
He must not mock me with paltry love-
Nor stoop to cheat my soul.
If / should ever meet this man,
This king only dream, and never see,
Then could sit most meekly at his feet
A very child before his goodness and his power;
And while he stopped to kiss my shining hair,
Or smooth its clusters from their clinging rest,
A sweet unspoken language in his touch
Would lift my dark eyes to the dark of his;
And, as in fair Judea, when the world was
young,
Sarah with reverence said to Abraham,
My lips should call him Lord"

| To the Union and American:
MEMPHIS, March I6.-I send you
the copy of a paper gotten up by Rob
ertson Topp and a few others IN TINS
city, which has received number OF
signatures. Our papers think 1t ad-
visable not to notice 1T because they
say doing so would give it an I'M
portance which it does not deserve.
This may be true, but l wish to place 1t
in the hands of our friends at Nash
vile. 1t is mere trick to aid the
Radical party. These men are &C
lively at work In various
parts of the State, and are deluding
many of the ignorant and unwary.
There are some such men in your part
of the State. The true Democratic
party is gaining strength in West Ten
nessee. The Bolivar Bulletin, an OPP
ponent of the funding bill, is opposed
to making that measure test question.
Whether it is advisable to notice these
men at present l cannot say. We
must watch them. Tennessee pays less
taxes in proportion to what she makes
than dny State In the Union.
JEFFERsoNIAN.
ToPP's PROGRAMME.
To the People of Tennessee: From
sentiments expressed IN a majority OF
newspapers and in concerted meetings,
it is obvious that the usual party mana
gers or Office seekers are again at work
with renewed zeal to plunge the people
into another unnecessary or unproht-
able conflict about Federal politics,
that all offices, high and low, from a
Governor to a Constable, may be filled
by greedy partisans, or with the hope
that in this Federal conflict we may
overlook the grave questions which at
this time imperiously demand the seri-
Gus consideration of the people of Ten
nessee.
We the undersigned citizens believe
that other and grave matters Of State,
invite the sober consideration of all
the people who would avert an impend-
ing calamity, and without stopping to
inquire how and by whom twas brought
about we take this occasion to say that
we regard the present exorbitant rates
of taxation imposed for State, county
and municipal purposes as a gigantic
evil, paralysing all industries and all
pursuits which we must crush or it will
crush us. 1t has come TO this: wemust
change the tax laws now in force or
we must witness a general and sweeping
confscation Of the property of the
people by taxation. For the purpose
of averting this calamity we appeal to
the people of all parties to ignore
party question for a time at
least, and unite with us in
organizing throughout the State for the
purpose of securing the election of a
Governor and Legislature at the en-
suing November election, pledged to a
reduction of taxation for State pur-
poses to sum ut least as low as twenty
cents on each hundred dollars worth
of taxable property, and pledged to the
most rigid retrenchment in all the de-
partments of State, county and mu-
nicipal expenditures. We pledge our
selves to make the question of low tax
alton and retrenchment paramount to
all other issues, without regard to Its
effect upon the fate of parties or the
fortunes of individuals.

TENNESSEE NEWS.

The KnOIrMe Chronicle of the 18th re-
marks: yesterday being the first day of
the United States Court, the city was
crowded and the streets filed with drunk
men," We hope that is not the normal
effect of courts in Knoxville.
The KnOrrWe Chronicle of the 18th
states: A private note from Bristol states
that disease supposed to be typhoid fever
at first has terminated fatally in nine cases,
since Wednesday night. Mr.. McClana-
han, ex-Mayor, and several school girls
have died, and others are beyond hopes of
recovery. The physicians seem not TO I'M
derstand the disease. The school girls are
leaving in haste.
\ Granger county correspondent OF the
KnOTriUe Chronicle writes: \ very seri-
Gus accident occurred at this place on the
Sth inst, in the family of Thomas Noe,
Esq. His little daughter, aged about ten
years, was playing around the f+e, when
her clothes caught fire. Her parents were
absent at the time, and there was no one
TO relieve her until she was badly burned.
The child was still living at last accounts.
The Memphis appeal of the 18th says:
In the first Circuit Court yesterday the mo-
ton on the school bond of ten thousand
dollars in behalf of the District School Di-
rectors VS.. A. Woodward, abscOnding COun-
ty Trustee, and his sureties Sam FOlwell
and J. ]. Busby, Judge HeiSkill gives 4
judgment against the defendants for the
full amount of the bond. The motion
against Woodward and his sureties on the
fifty thousand dollars general bond has not
as vet been argued. The bondsmen are W.
II. Cherry and J. II. EdmOnds.
The Jackson Herald vouches for the fol-
lowing: Turner Reid and Albert WhOr-
ten. two cOlored men, connected with the
killing of Hamilton West, at Denmark in
this county last summer; were released on
bail during the January term Of the Circuit
Court. After release the two prisoners re-
turned to their homes, where they lived in
peace and quiet, until the 18th inst, when
they told their friends they were going
back to Jail. True to their words, this
morning they put in their appearance at the
Jail, and respectfully requested of the Sher-
iff. that they be allowed the privilege of
returning TO prison. The Sheriff, kindly
disposed, quietly placed them in Jail, where
they seem to be perfectly satisfied"
The KnO1ciie Press and Herald of the
18th has the following items about the re-
cent Reynolds tragedy: yesterday morn
ing, Attorney General Williams received
from Thomas Sartin, through Conductor
Ault, of the Knoxville and Ohio Railroad,
the small pistol which Duncan fired at Sar-
tin, at the time of his capture, as related in
the Press and Herald of Sunday last. This
pistol was identified as one which was taken
from Reynolds house ON the night of the
murder. 1t had contained two loads which
had been discharged, and there is blood on
the weapon. Nothing has been heard of
Webb, but it is thought that he will be
brought to Knoxville within a short time,
possibly to-day. 1t is surmised that he has
been in the vicinity of Careyville since the
night of the tragedy"

OAT HAY.

One of our farming friends, who re-
sides near Philadelphia, and has large
milk-trade, tells us that for the past
four years he has cut oats for hay and
has found so much good to result from
the practice, that he is thinking of
making it a complete substitute for hay
for regular COW feed, as far as other
circumstances will allow. He cuts the
oats Just while the grain is forming and
while the whole plant is yet green; and
takes rather more pains In the drying,
as the oat is rather more likely to mould
than the ordinary grass. He claims
that he can get a heavier crop of at
least as good food from the same space
of ground in a shorter time in this way
than he can from an ordinary hay field.
This may be so, yet there seems to
be some objections. In this part OF the
country at least, if March be wet, or
the season late, oats cannot be got IN
till the middle of April, and it is one
of those things which requires to be
in very early in order to do certainly
well. Again, the oat is more fastidi-
Gus In regard to soil than grass is. 1t
often happens that land which seems
favorable to a good crop of oats so far
as the grain is concerned, makes very
little straw; and a field Of oats not
much over foot high would not be
very profitable as a forage crop"
Then again, animal labor must be
spent on an oat crop, while on a good
stand of timothy, the same sowing Will
do always for two, and sometimes for
three years. This saving of labor
alone seems to us to be a strong item
which ought not to be overlooked.
Yet is seems 1gite likely that this
oat hay idea might very often be taken
advantage of to good purpose, and 90,
as the correspondents often modestly
say. we offer it for whatever it is worth.

FARM AND GARDEN.
TO DESTROY LICE.

An old farmer writes: 1.-The best
preparations for the removal of lice
from cattle, young or old, are a salve
of fresh lard ground up with fine sui
phur lone ounce of sulphur to four
ounces of lard), and raw hnseed oil
mixed with kerosene oil in the proper
ton of four parts of linseed to one part
of kerosene. These should be rubbed
from between the ears all along the
backbone to the root Of the tail about
twice a week. Two applications are
generally sufficient. They are not in
any degree hurtful if they are licked
by the cattle. Lice which have been
placed in contact with a small quantity
of either of these mixtures were imme-
diately killed, while mercurial ointment
and carbolic acid failed to kill them in
several hours" Lard and sulphur will
destroy lice without linseed. oil or kerr
Osene to assist in the work of killing
the pests.

ALFALFA Hay FOR HOGS.

The Sacramento Union says: 1t is
a strange sounding proposition, to feed
hogs with hay, but we have experience
in this line, and however strange or
odd it may seem it is, Notwithstanding,
a fact that hogs will not only eat al
falfa hay, but that they will do well on
it. We first discovered the fact by
throwing lot of alfalfa chaff, from
which the seed had been cleaned, over
to some hogs for nest, when, to our
surprise, they devoured itwith as much
greediness as they would so much oats
or barley. Our own experience and OBJ
servation since has proved to us that
good alfalfa hay, with plenty of water,
will keep hogs in good growing con-
dition all through the water. They
may be foddered in the same way you
would fodder sheep or cattle, but if cut
up with cutting machine and wet be-
fore feeding, they viii eat II cleaner
and do better on it.

SHEEP ON FARM

The Neao York World says, in answer
to a correspondent: 1t certainly is
profitable to keep sheep on a farm If
rightly managed-even though the price
of wool is low. They are scayengers
on farm-death to all the weeds and
shrubs that are an annoyance to the
tidy farmer. Besides, the spring lambs,
if a careful selection of breeds is made,
will be found profitable to sell, especial
ly the males IN the market. Americans
are eating more and more mutton year.
~. The object of the shepherd should
be TO adapt his sheep husbandry to the
wants of the market nearest him
grow the kind of wool that sells the
best; or if the carcass is more in de-
mand, grow the sheep which make the
most and best meat In the shortest
time, always taking into account hardi-
ness and easiness of keep.

VINES FOR THE SPRING TIME.

The Rural World gives the following
list of some of the most popular varie-
ties of wines, which can be procured
from almost every nurseryman:
Wisteria fruitescens can be trained
as a dwarf weeping tree, or as a climber,
or for the purpose of covering lattice
work, etc.
Chinese and Japan honeysuckles
present a very beautiful appearance
when trained upon short posts. They
grow to massey, evergreen, weeping
bushes, with blossoms and delightful
fragrance. They are also suitable for
covering arbors, verandahs, lattice
framework, etc.
The golden-leaved honeysuckle, with
its yellow marble foliage, is desirable
low climber.
The coral, yellow and monthly honey
suckles can also be made deciduous
shrubs, or, if desired, can be trained as
common climbers. They can be kept
in flower for several months by remOv-
ing fading blossoms, so as to prevent
maturing of seeds.
The sweet-scented hardy jessamine
can be made a shrub or trained as a
climber 1t blooms for two months.
The sweet-scented clematis is of de-
ightful fragrance, and can be trained
to grow as a bush or climber. 1t blooms
for two months. There are various
other kinds of the blooming clematis,
with blooms of several colors, and some
of them largely variegated. Having
slender stems, they can only be grown
as climbers.
To these We may add the sweet pea,
annual and perennial, the morning
glory, and dozen other common but
very beautiful varieties.

AFTER MANY DAYS.
a Hotel Servant Finds n POeket-bOOk
and 81 800 Lost n Month Ago.

seho SAscVV LOSt a. fAOhAh <AF4Os
From the Memphis Avalanche, March II.
Sam Campbell, of the New York Mills,
Utica, was a sOjOurner at the Peabody
Hotel, in this city, and lost a wallet
containing his money. How he lost it
he couldn't tell, nor could any of his
friends throw light on the subject. 1t
was his impression that he stuck it I'M
der his pillow on retiring-in fact, he
felt certain of that-but he couldn't
find it there on arising, and the room
bore no evidence of having been en-
tered during the night. Finally, Mr..
Campbell gave the matter up as a
gone case" and went his way per-
picked, if not sorrowing.
Yesterday, however, one of the cham
bermaids at the Peabody, in turning
over the beds on the floor occupied by
Mr.. Campbell at the time Indicated
giving them a month"; turn as it were
came across the missing wallet. 1t
lay between the mattrass and one of
the Stats; where Mr.. Campbell, who is
evidently precise and careful gentle
man, had planted it too securely. The
chambermaid took it instantly to the
Office of the hotel, where it was recog-
nized as Mr.. Campbell's lost property,
and MIR. 0'Bannon at once carried it
to Mr.. w. B. Galbreath, by whom it
was forwarded to the owner. The con-
tents of the wallet were principally
81 900 in exchange on New York and
1896 in currency. Who says there is
no such thing as honesty in this de-
generate age? That chambermaid's
name should be printed, but the re-
porter failed to learn ii.

soil is the frs principle in any decent
system of agriculture Yet not one
city on this continent feeds the soil
that feeds its inhabitants. The result
is that the United States have over one
hundred million acres in turned out
old fields, and we are fast bringing
about two hundred million more into
the same condition. The planting
States must raise more clover and
grass or depopulate the country like
large districts in Asia.
