Something to Live For.


1t has been asserted by scientific sur
oeons that the wiltpower of a sick man
has a great deal to do with his dying,
and the case of Charles O'Conor is
cited as evidence. "A still stronger case
occurred i'm Michigan the past summer,
An old man, living in the northern part
of the State, got out a lot OF timber
many wears ago for a toH-road company,
but the company failed and left him in
the lurch. For years and years he tried
to sell the timber TO this one or that, but
no one wanted it, and at last time and
decay rendered the beams almost worth
less. Last summer the Supervisors or
the county advertised for proposals to
build a bridge, and the old man put in q
bid While waiting to see what would
be done he was taken very sick, and he
grew worse SO rapidly that council OF
doctors was called. After due delibera-

THE MIsTLEToE ROUGH.

THE MISTLETOE ROUGH.
The mstetoe hung in the castle hall,
The holly branch shone on the old oak wall
And the baron 8 retainers were blthe and gay,
And keeping their Christmas holiday.
The baron beheld with fathers pride
His beautiful daughter. young Lovels bride,
While she with her bright eyes seemed to be
The star of that goody company.
Oh the mstetoe bough,
Oh ! the mistletoe bough.
I'm weary of dancing now" she cried
Here larry moment-Ill hide, III hide.
And Loyel be sure thou'rt the first to trace
The clue to my secret lurkng-place."
Away she ran, and her friends began
Each tower to search and each nook to scan.
And young Lovel cried, "Oh where dost thou
hide,
I'm lonesome without thee. my own dear bride. "
Oh the mistletoe bough,
Oh i! the mistlctoe bough.
They sought her that night, and they sought her
next day,
And they sought her in vain when week pass'd
away;
In the highest, the lowest, the loneliest spot,
Young Lowell sought wildly, but found her not.
And years flew by, and their grief, at last
Was told us q sorrowful tale long passed;
And when Lovel appeared the children cried
see the old man weeps for his fairy brfde"
oh the mistletoe bough
Oh the mistletoe bough
At length an oak chest, that had long lain hid
Was found in the castle-they raised the lid,
And skeleton form lay Wondering there,
In the bridal wreath of the lady fair!
Oh sad was her fate in sportive jest
She hid from her lord in the old oak chest.

Lay whitening there in living tomb

and it was not until the neighbor went to pay
her taxes that she found she had nothing to

To the Editors of the Appeal:
Oae of your correspondents has hi upon
a grand idea, aud, for fear it NAV fail still
born, like many other useful sngses,lons
which ERE forgotten in the confusion OF
other Interests, l write a line ID reference to
it. The leather dealer of the fable thought
"there was nothing like leather" and urged
that the needed town walls chou d be built
ef that material. He was wise in his gerer-
stIo1, seeing that 1t is TO the in
terest of every man to increase the
general use and to enhance the value Of
the article he produces. Five and hall
miliions of dollars are paid every year BY
planters for jute or hemp begging for wrap
ping cotton, and this expenditure does moth
ing whatever to add TO the value OF the crop.
1t does not add TO the consumption Of the
staple, but only goes 10 enrich the manutsc-
turer of hemp or jute bagging. II lie true
| that the species OF cotton fabric best suited
10 the purpose of wrapping cotton bales Is
not now manufactured, but II there
should be a demand for such an arti-
Gle, it would soon be forthcoming, and
| it certainly is to the interest OF planters TO
| do everything possible to further and extend
the use of cotton fabrics. II is 8 notorious
| fact that while ginners are required TO cover
their bal entirely, the width OF bagging az
| furnished for the last fifty years ls utterly
unsuited. In order TO cover The bales the
| giuper must use two widths and then split
another, that he may patch up the exposed
parts. This trouble would be Obviated by
the weaving and furnishing OF fabric Of
the proper width, 30 that two cuts Woulc
| entirely clothe the bales. Planters may
protect themselves against the tariff rob
bers by using cotton rope Instead o.
iron ties, but of this hereafter
About the use of cotton wrappers there
seems to me no question whatever. NiB'
yards OF hemp baggiDg common width cost
about ninety cent?. Six yards OF heavy
duck of the proper width (say about six
quarters), would not cost more than IL ~
and to furnish the requisite amount, sup
posing it to supersede hemp and jute, woulC
cause demand for 100000 bales OF cotton

nryHKoS,Ns THE SILVER GOD.

"Worshipers st the silver shrine" are re-
ceiving perpetually occurring reminders that
their idol is unworthy of the alteration they
exact for it. Notwithstanding the assurances
that were given when the Bland bill was
passed, that its effect would be to restore ell
yer to its former dignity as a standard of
value along with gold, all over the world,
its monetary position has continued to 60
down, year by year, ever since the Bland bill
became law. A bill has passed the Council
Of State OF Holland, and is now before the
lower house, for the demonstration of silver
in that country. This is The more striking,
as the silver worshipers relied upon Hol-
land supporting their claims in the European
monetary conferences held at the instance
OF our government. The Chinese are also
for them, although they contain more silver
than our eighty-three-cent silver dollar. 1t
is reported that an aggregate OF $4,000
week of it is passing through the Suez canal.
The Chinese fnd that the trade dollar can
be made TO pass for more money in this
country than among themselves, SO they
make profit by sending it back TO us. AS
the Holland law proposes to place $40, $780,
600 of silver upon the open market, and as
the extension of the railroads in Mexico
will soon be bringing silver from that ceun.
try, our eighty. three-cent dollar promises to
fall to a still lower value, which is hard
upon us who are mintiDg S27, 100000 year
from it, as we'll as upon the silver mine own
ers for whose protection" that coinage is
kept up.

ST. LOUIS, March 16.-GeD. Porfirio Diaz,
ex-president of Mexico, and party, arrived
here by the Missouri Pacific train, between
10 and IL O'Clock this morning. A recep-
tion committee of members of the Merchants
Exchange went out to Kirkwood, twelve
miles, where the incoming train was met.
The party was formally received, and an
address OF welcome delivered by John A.
Dillon, in Spanish. On their arrival here,
the Tredway Rifles, of the Third Regiment,
State National Guards, and q platoon of
mounted police escorted the distinguished
visitors TO the Southern Hotel, where an in
formal reception was held, and large num-
Der OF citizens were introduced.
After short rest they visited the Mer-
chants Exchange, where Pres dent Ewald
introduced them from the rostrum in brief
address, to which Minister Foster responded
both as representative OF the United States
government and in behalf OF Gen. Disz, who
does not ppeak English. Speeches were also
made by Senior Romero and others and by
Gen. Frisbee, an American resident of the
City of Mexico, after which the party were
introduced to individual members Of the
Exchange, and short time was spent in
pleasant intercourse.
