THE NEW LOVE AND THE OLD.

From the Chicago Tribune
lners, speak in whispers; fold me to thy heart,
Dear love, for have roamed . weary, weary
s..= way;
Bid my vague terrors with thy kiss depart!
VI, have been among the dead o-day.
4 wed with the memories that crowd my
brain,
Fearing my voice, WOO the charm of thine;
Tell me thou iivest, lowest, yet again.
Not among graves, but letters old and dim.
Yellow and precious, have l touched the past.
Reverent and prayerful as we chant the hymn
Among the aisles where saints their shadows
cast; Es ftss
Reading dear names on faded leaves that here
81 We're worn with foldings tremulous and fond,
These drowned. in FLASHING of tender tear.
Or with deaths tremble poining 'sthe be-
yond 81
And, love, there came q fiutter Of white wings,
a stir OF snowy robes from out the deep
OF utter silence, as l. read the things
smiled to trace before learned to weep;
And hands, whose clasp was magic long ago,
Came soft before me, till yearned to press
Mad kisses on their Wilderness: then the woe,
The sting Of death, the chill Of nothingness |!
One was afar, whore golden sands made dim
The shining steps Of the old trickster Time
And one was lost. All, bitter grief to him
Who wrecked his manhood in the depths of
crime! 3
Flushing the Orient lay meekly down
Among the Gaisies, dreaming loves glad dream
And one sweet saint now wears a starry
crown. 5@
And thus there stole delicious odors still
From out those relics of the charmed past,
Signs from the lips omnipotent to will
And win rich tribute to- the very last;
But death, or change had been among my
flowers, 3s
And all their bloom had faded, 90 thatI
Yield ry sad thoughts to the compelling powers
OF the bright soul worship till die.
Nay, never doubt me, for my loves divine
And fearful past, know my future thine.

My companion, in his crude way, points
to one OF the great sources of recuperative
thrift Of which the South may now boast.
Industry and accumulation are doing
more to break down the barrier between

Free labor is doing great things for the
South, and in the next decade will do much
more than it has done in the last two.
It has already changed the character Of
the products of the soil, or rather added to
them. It has demonstrated that land in the
south, was played with, not farmed, and
that q few. acres properly tiled now pro
