am thinking of you, darling.
As the evening shadows fall;
AZ the moon and stare arc shedding
A soft luGter over all.
Thinking OF your noble manhood;
or your true and tender heart;
Thinking Joyfully. thankfully,
That In your life I've a part.
Thinking OF your love OF virtue
Your hatred of sin and vice
No one could buy your love for me,
No, not at greatest prlco.
Together we've loved and wandered;
Together we've knelt and prayed
Together felt our fathers hand
On each head In blessing laid.
Together we've asked forgiveness
For every weakness and ain
That moro of Gods holy spirit
Our hearts might enter In.
Only by tho power OF Jesus
la the path of virtue trod
Nothing but tho blood of Jesn
Reconciles our souh 10 God.
May his power be always ours,
As onward through life We 20
May his precious fountain Of blood
DER each sIn-staln freely flow.
Still I'm thinking, thinking OF you,
And longing for your presence
And as j long, my heart Ia filed
With tender love aud reverence.

As general thing the farmers arc an
honest inoffensive class Of people who do
no one aught but good, and they think
that every one else II governed by the

other class Of men. They should ever be

Murphy, 400 600 acres; II. Distory,
100000 acres; Standard oil company
100000 acres; and scores of Others.
Nine men own territory equal to
that of New Hampshire, Massachu-
sets and Rhode Island combined.
Then there are great railroad corpora
tions, whose free gifts of land from
congress amount to upward Of 200
COO000 acres. Eleven Of these corpo-
