"God send the rime. A weary land is wait
ing
With aching hearts the coming of the time
When smiting downward through the vault
ed open
The wintcr-sprite shall rain the hoary rime
For here the good, the brave, the fair and
tender,
Are clipped and wlted by the simoom's
breath,
As through the limits of a land plague-rid-
den,
There stalks the awful carnival of death.
"God send the rime. o days of ripe October,
Sweet art thou with thy veil of hazy light!
Thy leaves and fruits are dipped and dyed in

Thy red and gold is gladsome to the sight!
But linger not! Let winds, from Northand
blowing,
Move and dispel thy mellow wealth dis
played.
And wake the fullness of the Frost-king s
vigor,
So long delayed -ame-so long delayed"
So sighed people, in the early autumn.
When heart and hope We're dull and cold
with grief.
And through the long night they sat with
weary watching,
To catch the coming signal of relief.
So slow it came The Heavens tardy season
Seemed far and fainter as itrolled away;
AS they, who in the stretch of expectation,
Live through long ages in waiting day.
But while the saving season Jagged and halted
There rose relief bestowed in other form;
For house and home within the Northern re-
gion
Gave forth their goods In answer quick and
warm.
Yea man with man, and each with other Wy
ing,
From great and small, from rank and low
condition,
To sooth the sick, or ease the bed OF pain.
Not IDLY was the cry of psin repeated
In that fair land of coast and signing pine :;
For hearts that stirred at pangs of distant an
guish,
Ieaped to the work of charity divine
Not vainly was the call for succor rendered :;
In one vast swell, from city and from town
They gave in lavish measures their possessions
And blessed the giving that they showered
down.
Sweet sister, we. with misty tears upstarting.
KISS the kind hand thou held'st lis in our
need;
Thy gifts we measure not upon their value,
But for the priceless sweetness of the deed.
And long, to children's children, in rehears-
ing,
The grief that dimmed our overburdened
eyes.
Shall we recount alike thy sanity action
That knit us to thee with enduring ties.
Not statesmen in the halls of legislation;
Not gems of genius on the poets page;
AS this thy favor. in the teyers rage.
And who can say, but that the closer draw
ing
Was meant by Him with all foresight en-
dowed
To be one earning from dread disaster
A silver lining to an ebon cloud.

JOHN HILL,
ALIAS NIXON CURRY,
OR TIE
VICTIM OF CIRCUMSTANCES.
A True Sketch of Life in Arkansas.

"Among the truest friends of the peo-
pie, of all in the present Convention may
be named John Hill, Of st Francis His
eloauence and courage fully entit.e him
to the proud place he holds, and, as we
trust, will long remain-that leader of
the Arkansas Demecracy.' .'-Littlet Rock
Gazette of the days Of the Convention.
"BLooDY AFFRAY,-A desperate rem
contre occurred last week in st, Francis
Two distinguished citizens were killed
and three others dangerously wounded
The difficulty resulted from an attempt
to arrest John Hill, a member of the leg
islature, and formerly of the State Con
vention, who. as it is alleged is the not
orious robber, Nixon Curry, that commit
ted such atrocities fifteen years ago in the
mountains of Carolina. Little Rock
Gazette, May, 1910.
We have given the pervious extracts
from the oldest and most respectable
every reader that the following narrative,
extraordinary as some Of its incidents
may appear, is no tissue of fiction. In
deed whilst relating genuine events, and
paiLting true scenes, we have been espcc
ally careful to avoid vivid colors,
About fifty years ago, there lived in
in Iredel county, North Carolina, a Pres
byteran minister by the name of Curry.
He was man of easy circumstances, of
irreproacheble character, and had large
family of promising sons and daughters.
Among these the tavorits was Nixon,
distinguished when boy for his fearless
courage and the tenderness of his heart
alike. He seems from several anecdotes
of his early days, to have been child of
impulse and intense earnestness and pas
sion. When only six years of age, he
had combat at school with a bully of
the play ground, nearly twice his own
weight and after suffering dreadfully, at
last achieved victory, due almost entire
ly to the sheer power of his endurance.
From the time he was six years old,
that is TO say, from the first session he
attended in the country school house,
had he been in love. His idol was girl
of the same age, and under the tuition OF
the same master. During the hours of
recess, when the other juveniles were a
musing themselve, with boisterous spirits,
the precocious lovers would wander a
midst leafy groves, or by the mossy mar
gins of silver rills. Forever, to eternity
and whenever the soft spell of first love
comes. it brings with it the bright spiri,
ofpoetry, scattering thick starred dreams
and divine visions of beauty over all
things. Even then they exchanged
pledges. and dscoursed in sweat sinless
whispers of their future bridal.

Don't Waste Vital Energy.

The most vigorous persons do not

L. Don't do anything in hurry.
2. Don't work too many hours day,
whether it be farm-work, shop-work,
study work or house work.
5. Don't abridge sleep. Get the full
eight hours Of it, and that, too. in well
ventilated aud sun-purified room.
4. Don't eat what is indigestibls, MOI
too much Of anything, and let good
cheer rule the hour.
5. Don't fret at yourself or anybody
else; nor indulge in the blues, nor burst
into fits OF passion.
6. Don't be too much elated with good
luck, or disheartened by bad.
