THE Denison (Tex) Ne,cs relates this
little story: "A girl, twenty years OF
are. arrived in this city on the morning
of the nth, in obedience to call IRON
her lover, John Arnold, living IN the
Cherokee Nation, to meet him there on
The 10th. to be married When she ar
rived in Denison she learned that Arnold
had that morning married another gifi
in the Nation. She wcpt little; pu',
nothing daunted, went to where John
wos u his father-in-law's residence, and
called for him. John came out ana eA-
prcsscd great sorrow for what he had
done: said he expected her on the losh
and she didn't come, and then he thought
shc wasn't coming; but he loved hei
and thought he'd give his wife the COPY

INJURED little, but finally consented ioi
him to 30. The preacher said ne wouio
undo the marriage, and they might con
s;der il null and void. The father-in
law gave John one minute to leave 'n'
Nation in, and John and his Dulclne' !

Don't Whine.

ANYTHING but the man who whincs
A man with grievance is infinitely more
cndurablc. We can endure the bellicose
individual who is always on the alert to
have somebody tread on the tail of his
coat, the citizen whose bristlcs, if we may
so speak, are always on end; we can get
along with those black and-tans of soc-
ETY. whose sharp bark and ready DISPOSE
oSIsss 1852
stagnation, by keeping the social system
stirred up to healthy activity. And we
can appreciate to certain extent the
spheres Of usefulness in which the sus-
picous man moves, the ferret OF the
community, who probes into the dark
corners of every question, and turns the
subject over and over with his lnqusl
tive, restless nose; who asks all manner
of unconscionable questions, ana makes
one feel uncomfortable by a wonderful
variety of suggestions that no one else
would think of. But the man who
whines, whose face is always screwed
up into an expression of martyrdom who
| is always imagining himself an abused
| individual, an ill-treated man, and mar
tyr deserving Of all sympathy, is an in
tolerable bore, with whom the world has
no patience. A man has no right to
whine if he is jostled and thumpcd he
must ostle and thump back, and if his
ailments are only imaginary ones ne
must look well to himself that
while he stands whining over what
he imagines an injury he does
not get really and soundly thwackeo
for standing in the way with his tiresomt
complainings No man can win sympa
thy by weeping and snivelng over Sights
and affronts that he thinks are put upor
him. No man ever yet set himself III
for martyr on his own hook that wa
not very quickly martyred in styl'
vastly different from anything he antici
pated or desired. Life is too short tt
waste many Of its golden moments OF
the man who whines There is some
thing materially out of order with such
man. He frequently imagines that n
; has an excessively delicate organism
+ that he is too sensitive for the rough, ur
cultured world around him, and that Ii
is martyr to his own highly, too highly
developed intellectual organism, whel
r in fact all that ails him is an ill-treate
; stomach, dyspepsia, hypochondria.
YOU think you are cufied, cuff back, an
if YOU aren't big enough to fight, run
run as long as shoe leather lasts and you
winds holds out, but, in Heavens name
don't whine. You will feel better an
5e more respected, and will think bette
: of yourself if your life is spent in on
long succession Of retreats and lodging
r than if you whine away the dreary yeal
if with dismal ADMINISTRATIONS Haze

YoNDER-a stone throw from this seat of mine
| The gray old college rises through its leaves,
Bright with the arrowy glnting snmmershine,
| Sweet with the BIRDS iuting meath the shad

| How fair, familiar and unaltered still
That glimpse Of roof, that snnlfs gable end.
Those gay flowers, gemming that deep window
sill:
That ivied archway and thatcloister bend
There slopes the lawn away beneath its trees;
There peep again the college walls beyond;
There, as of old, in white, majestic ease,
The swans move, caring up the liled pond
The graybeard gardener, with his swinging
Lo! how he shakes, He il too old to NOV.
1t seems but yesterday saw him blithe
And young. All, well! we all must older grow.
1t seems but yesterday that here we walked
And sat and smoked, my own best friend and /,
Gay, happy hearted lads, and fondly talked
And planned our futures and their honors high
How both would win fellowship; and he

And should don the sober suit, and be-
Quickly, of course-a shining light in town
Then came one gold-green June that somewhat

Our wig-and-mter dreams, and made them
naught.
How fleet and fair the sweet flower season slid,
How Of the present was our only thought.
How the old place was changed, and sudden
made
Bright with gay CLEANS shot down the happy
shade
Flashed through by rare white hands and fairy
feet
And one there was who drew us to one spot
And made us meet-no more in friendship fair
In love of her our own love was forgot
And where she was there we two always were.
50 hate rose up between my friend and me.

FARMERS REFORM CONVENTION.
INDIANAPOLIS, June 1.-THE
Farmers reform convention, after
adopting long statement of their
cause, enumerated the wrongs of
which they complain and passed
the following resolutions:
ResotUed, That we are in favor
of the Office seeking the man, and
not the man the office; that we
will endeavor to select men to fill
the various offices who are honest
and capable, without regard to for
mer political opinions; that we de
test bribery, corruption and fraud
in obtaining votes, either by the
use of money or whisky, and will
not support any man for Office
known to be guilty of the same !;
and are opposed to electing
any man to fill the same office
more than for one term in success
sion, from the President down.
Res0lUed, That we uncompro
miZingly condemn the practice of
our public officers in receiving free
passes from railroad managers.
ResolUed, That we denounce the
action of our legislature and repre-
sentatives in Congress and the Sen
ate for the increase of taxes, fees
and salaries, and we will use all
honorable means in our power to
reduce the taxes, fees and salaries
ofall to q reasonable basis.
RcS0IUed, That we demand re
duction Of all public expenditures,
to the end that taxation may be re
duced to the lowest possible limit.
Res0tUed, That it is contrary to
the policy of good government to
encourage litigation, and the allow
ing of ten per cent on judgments
and the collecting of attorneys
fees from defendants encouragesIit
igation. favors capital, and is
source of corrupted and subserves
to no good purpose, and therefore
ought to be remedied by appropri
ate legislation.
ResoIoed, That the present assess
ment law of real estate imposes un
equal and unjust burdens on the
producing class and favors capital
and corporate wealth, and we de
mand its speedy amendment.
ReSolUed, That we demand a
change in our grand jury system
that their jurisdiction extend to
felonies onlys.
ReSolved, That no party is
our confidence who denies
the right of the people to restrict
the abuses of the liquor traffic.
