TEEE BROTHERS.
Bob and AIf Separated for the
First Time in Six Weeks.


KNOXVILLE, Tenn, October 24.-The
train was rolling into Knoxville at 9
o'clock this morning Alf was snugly
ensconced in his berth in the sleeper,
while Bob was the center OF crowd
in the smoking car The Republican
candidate was en- route to johnson
City to meet his family and Bob was
to stop over at Knoxville for the day.
AS the shrill whistle of the engine
soundsupon the crisp morning air Bob
leaves his seat and hurries forward to
the sleeping car. Approaching the
berth where his brother lay sleeping,
he touched him upon the shoulder,
"Good bye, Alf, till next Thursday l
hope you will feel better at RogersviIle
We will meet again at Phillip. Give
my love to the home folks" and the
brothers clasp hands and say good
night
Alf boarded an engine which was
placed at his service at Johnson City
this morning, and joined his wife and
son at his fathers home, near Johnson
City. Bob was met at the depot by a
delegation of young men. Hello,
Bob" exclaimed one, we have been
holding the fort for you since you left" J"
"All right, boys" cheerily replied Bob
"Tve been trying to spike the enemy's
guns, and we'll see if we can't take
their batteries in East Tennessee" he
laughingly added as he led the way tc
the carriage which was in waiting
For the first time in six weeks the
brothers we're separated. Each had
separate appointments to make for the

VOL. III.


1.-THE followinging beautiful poem,
without a name, is published by re-
quest.
when first we love, you know we seldom
we'd
Time rules us all. And life indeed is not
The thing we planned II out ere hope was dead;
And then we women can not choose our lot.
Much must be borne which is hard to bear,
Much given away, which it were sweet to
keep,
God help us all who need indeed his care;
And yet know the Shepherd loves his sheep.
All is blight, where all before was.bloom,
And so much lost, alas and nothing won
Save this-----that we can lean on wreck and
tomb
And weep, and weeping pray "Thy viii be
done"
Long, sad years have swept us far apart,
Still, l am crushing the dreams of love;
bury old memories down deep in my heart.
1t is my prayer that we may meet above.
Ny little boy begins to babble now
upon my knee MS earliest infant prayer
He has his mothers eager eyes, know,
And they say, too, his fathers curly hair.
But when he sleeps and smiles upon my knee;
And can feel his light breath come and go,
think of One-Heaven help and pity me
Who loved me and whom loved long ago.
Who might have been--ah, what, ] dare no
think.
We are all changed, God judge us for the best
God help us do our duty and not shrink,
And trust 10 Heaven for the rest
But blame us women not II some appear
Too cold at times and some too gay and light
Some griefs gnaw deep; some woes are hard t
bear
Who knows the past? and who can judge u
right?
Ali we are judged by what we might have bee
And not by what we are-too apt to fall.
Ny little child he sleeps and smiles between
These thoughts in me. In heaven we sha
know all.
Know why he triied with trusting heart.
Know why falsehood came the hues to bigh
Know why for life our paths must part
And make life sad-fnstead of bright.

Isntler's Loyalty.

The ToMAHAwK says we have abus-
ed Judge Butler. II the ToMAHAwK
will show us single statement we
have made about him that is not true,
we will publish its defence if it should
make a column.-Johnson City Com
ct.
Now, as to the above, we do claim
that the Comet misrepresented Judge
Butler, by holding out the idea that
he was supporter of the secession
movement until he thought the cause
was lost and that he then fell in with
the federal cause. The Republicans
Of this Congressional District need no
proof Of Mr.. Bullets loyalty, and it is
not for that purpose that we produce
the following, but simply to see if the
Comet will fulfill its promise
Judge Matthews, who was in the
Legislature with Judge Butler during
the time the Comet charges that he
was a secessionist, has the following
to say
II have been acquainted with Judge
Butler ever since about 1st October
1861, and have been intimately ac-
quainted with him ever since that date
/ was in the so-called rebel Legislature
with him ; we roomed and slept to
gether during the session my oppor
tunities to know Judge Buffers senti
ments were very good and in all O
our private conversation I never hearC
Judge Butler express disloyal senti
ment. We talked freely and fully upor
the subjects Of secession and rebellion
and his whole sentiments as expressed
to me where those Of loyal citizen
l am satisfied that if our private con
versations upon those questions haC
been made public, that it would hav
been the cause of the arrest if not th
hanging of both of IFS by the rebel au
thorities."
Mr.. Taylor, OF Carter county, ha
the following to say of Judge Butle
during that very interesting part Of hi
history:
myself and thirteen other Unio
men from Carter county were arres
, ed by the rebels and taken to Nasl
vile and put in the Nashville jail an
Judge Butler was there, and he brougf
us bread and furnished us with toba,
co. R. r. Butler said he had fort
dollars he would let us have, and Il
to borrow more. There was a prop
!, sition made to us that if we would el
list in the rebel army they would |,
us out Of Jail but r. r. Butler oppo
!, ed it, and told us to hold on, and tn
9 he would get us out in few day
d We were all taken before judy

: Butler did all he could to have us l
I leased"

ny runs as follows:

BALMY ERCEI4L.
BY r. W.
For THE COMET.

For THE COMET.
1t is balmy afternoon in May, and
the breezes are laden with the sweet
perfume of wild flowers. In shady
nook, on the bank of a small stream
whose clear waters ripple merrily Der
it's pebbly bed, shaded by the over
hanging willows, sits beautiful young
girl, apparently lost in thought: for
the queenly head is supported by one
tiny hand, while the other toys idly
with the flowers in her lap. Carmen
Ercell possesses beauty which would
satisfy the most fastidious artist. Her
Grecian form, faultless features, spark
ling sky-blue eyes, glorious crown of
purple black hair, and, in addition to
these, her ever-varying expression, all
form a perfect picture Of girlish
beauty. Suddenly strong arms encir-
Gle her slender form, and loving lips
imprint q tender kiss on her fair brow
She spring to her feet and gives him
blushing welcome. The young
mans voice falters as he says, "Car-
men, my love, | have come to bid you
goodbye. l start to California this
evening"
A pair of astonished blue eyes are
raised 10 his face, and two white hands
are thrown up in dismay, as she cries,
"ohl Lumen, must you go so soon"
Eyes, DEAR he replies, Il must go
to seek my fortune in the far west.
Your parents would never consent to
your union with penniless man, and
besides, l would not be so selfish as to
wish to drag you down to a life of pow
erty and trial although, for my part
l would be happy with you, in cab
in. Do not grieve at my departure
darling it is only for a short time
Erelong, | will return and claim you
for my bonny bride. / trust mye bau
tiful one will be true to me, and wait
patiently for her absent loveri will
you not, dear?"
Her voice is low and tender as she
says, eyes, come what may, will ey
er be true to you. Life, to me, woul(
be of no value without YOU"
Then, after long, loving talk, o
both the past and the future, they sep
arated he walking rapidly towards
the depot, she slowly, and sorrowfully
vending her way homeYard.

she sobs out, "Ohl Lumen, why do you
not write to me? | cannot believe

something terrible has befallen YOU"
At last the disconsolate girl rises and
walks wearily toward her home.
Lumen Owen has been in the wilds
OF California about six weeks, and
now he is sitting in his camp gazing
moodily at letter he holds in his
hand. Let us read it with him
"MR, OWEN Since we parted, |
have come to the conclusion that it
will be,to our advantage for me to can
Gel our engagement. We are both
poor, and few are likely to ever real
ize their dream of future wealth when
they "go West" to amass fortune.
Besides, have carefully analyzed my

in informing you Of my intention to
unite in matrimony with wealthy and
influential gentleman, of the town OF
X. You are acquainted with him
1t is Mr.. Corney. Do not judge me
too harshly, but endeavor to think as
/ do in this matter.
Respectfully,
CARMEN ERCELL,
Lumen takes another missive from
his pocket, and opens it. We viii
glance over has shoulder as he read:
the following lines:
Mr.. OWEN II regret the necessity
of informing you of the intended mar
riage OF your affianced bride, Cousin
Carmen. My heart throbs with sym
pathy for you, and contempt for her
when think of the way in which she
has scorned your noble heart. 1t lie'
beyond my power to comprehend how
she couIdjil you for teh man she is go
ing to marry. Accept the condolenc,
of Your loving friend,
CLARICE GORDON.
After reading these two letters, ou
hero goes about his work with sad
dened heart.

irresistible longing to visit his nativ

GENTILEs AND GENTILEs.

There are Gentiles'. and Gentiles in
Utah. There are those, and the most OF
them, who desire to see the Territory re-
generated, purged of polygamy and trea-
son, local disturbances quieted and such
peace and prosperity follow as, with a
harmonious and loyal people, our natural
resources would insure. This class would
like TO see this condition Of things, and
are not particular which political
party brings it about SO longas il is done,
They are patriotic in their motives and
actuated by such principles as should in
spire all true Americans in relation TO
matters affecting the dignity of the Ma
ton and pointing to National or local re-
form. There are, however, few, and
il is pleasing 10 note, but few,
who, while protesting most sincere
desire ior the accomplishment OF these
results, indicate by their actions that
they would prefer the continuance Of
polygamous and disloyal rule TO its dis.
placement under any except an Admin
istration OF their own political party.
These remarks are invoked by observa-
tions, circumstances and other evidences
OF the truth, evolving since the
Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1886-05-11
CoNDEMNING THE ANARCHISTS.

General Master Workman Powderly, OF
the Knights of Labor, vigorously de-
nounces the Chicago assassins or An
archists. He says the outrages which
they committed were disgraceful and de-
serve the severest punishment. Honest
labor is not found marching under the
red flag OF anarchy, and he holds that it
is the duty OF every organization of work.
ingmen in America to condemn the out
RACES perpetrated in Chicago in the name
Of labor. He asserts that none OF the
Anarchist leaders are Knights OF Labor,
and if any Knights took part in the muir
derous proceedings they should be
promptly expelled from the Order.
Though ii is not suspected that any
honest workingman would countenance
the Nihilistic outrages at Chicago, it will
be gratifying TO all who respect the dig
nifty OF labor, to know that they are
strongly condemned by the recognized
chief OF the greatest labor organization
that ever existed, That men have u
right 10 better their condition in every
legitimate way there is no question, and,
when other means fail, refuse to work at
less than reasonable wages, but in this
country, where higher wages are paid,
while nearly all the necessaries of life are
cheaper, than in any other; where en-
ployer and employed have an equal voice
in shaping the policy OF the Government,
and enacting laws ior the government of
the whole, the bomb and the bullet are
not necessary in redressing grievances,
and their use are condemned by every
body who appreciates liberty, and has
sense enough to distinguish it from
tyranny.
