/" In the Cause of Human Liberty -.

Two circumstances taken in con
nection reveal n deplorable state o.
affairs in the industrial world. The
Champion reaper works, of Spring
field, Ohio, discharged all of their
employees known to belong to the
Knights of Labor organization, The
president of the company says that
they were compelled to do so sin the
cause of human liberty. They OBJ
jected to their employees belonging to
the order, because sin other cities il
has been one of terror, intimidation
and violence The Mccormick
reaper works ut Chicago recently
closed down because their 1000 EN-.
ployes insisted on the discharge Of
five non-union men.
1t is not easy to decide which OF
these two actions was the more ty-
rannical and arbitrary. In tho first
case the employers discharge their
workmen because they belonged to
an organization that in other cities
had been one of terror, intimidation
and violence, though it was not al
legged that the men discharged had
been engaged in any such terrorism
or lawlessness. Their offense was
belonging to an organization that
was of bad character else where. At
the worst, the charge against the
men is only that they were found in
company uncongonial to their en-
ployers.
In the other case, the tyranny is on
the part of tho workmen. They, six
teen hundred strong, insist that five
men shall be discharged, because
those five men will not join an order
to which 1000 belong. The five non
union mon have rs much right to
stay outside of the organization as
the 1,600 had to join it. Because the
employer will not discharge the non
unionists, and deprive them of the
means of earning living, the union
lists quit work, and compel the stop
page of business.
There is no difference between the
action OF the men who discharged
their employees because they belonged
to a union, and the action of the men
who attempted to force the discharge
OF ,unionists because they would
not join union. In both cases it is
u denial of the liberty of personal &C
ton, 1t is an assertion of the right
of one set of men to compel others to
subscribe to their notions, submit to
their dictation and acknowledge their
authority. American manhood will
rebel against the assertion of any
such principle. Whether it is an
nounced by employer CT workman, it
is despotic interference with indi,
vidual action that will be resented
whenever and wherever attempted to
be enforced Fort Worth Gazette.

A Strange story Of Byron.

speaking OF men who have known
great men, says John Russell Young
in the New York World, II remember
meeting n gentleman who had been
personal friend Of Lord Byron. He
told mo curious story. Ho was in
Greece with Byron, and they were
travelling together 10 Missolonghi,
A heavy rain storm came on and they
had TO ford n river, and they came
TO little Greek inn, riding horse
back, and of course very wet. Byron
and his friend went 10 their room nm
til their clothes became dry. Byron
lay down upon the bed, put his arms
under his head and said:
DO you believe in witches and
warlocks 2
"'Why, asked his friend.
"'You know, replied Byron, i am
almost a Scotchman. l spent my early
days in Aberdeen, and when | was n
child u gypsy read my fortune. She
told me very important events would
happen in my life at 10, % and 30.
At ten l was II lord by the death OF
my grand-uncle. At twenty-eight j
was married. And now, continued
Byron, the third event comes. What
will it be 2
my friend said to Byron: oh,
that's all nonsese.
No, said Byron, shaking his head
and talking in his slow, lisping way,
Don't you disbelieve the witches and
warlocks.
"He died in ten days.
81 remember asking this gentleman
to give me his views of Lord Byron rs
derived from his own intercourse with
him. He said that Byron had an af-
fected, drawing, almost isping voice,
and tho general impression made up
on him during their days in Greece
together was of insincerity and self
ishness.

THE OLD ATTIC ROOM.

l remember the dear old attic room
Wheru slept whom little boy,
In the farmhouse over beside the hill,
When life was perfect JOY.
| remember the chairs, 80 old and quaint,
Aud the bed whoreon slept,
And the chest OF drawers beside the door,
Where the apples were always kept.
remember well how the early sun
Through the window small would stray,
And how the bird, in the tree outside,
Would warble hs morning lay;
And how my mothers Time to got up!'
On my needless ear would fall;
Aud tho unpretontious print, that hung
So crookedly on the wall.
/ remember the ceiling, cracked and low,
Where the punches Of peppers hung,
And the old green curtain that wouldn't
roll up,
But in every wild breeze swung
remember the barrels with stoyepipes filled
And various other things,
And the memory of this dear old room
Remembrance also brings
OF the nights had of innocent rest
What wouldn't | give, to be
Again in those rosy, boyhood dreams
A wanderer, happy and free
And on its carpetless floor to romp,
A merry and boistorous boy,
And see my little sister play
With her latest painted toy!
The room was not fair 10 look upon,
But to me twas Jolly nest;
All, that now, as then, could lay me down,
Its tired and willing puest
And dream tho dreams that then dreamt
In the nights so cool and still,
On the homely bed in that attic room
In the farm-houso by the hill.

Some OF LincOln'S Savings about Grant.

A few weeks after Grant had been
made acknowledgement, in reply to
the question, "What sort of man is
Grant ?" Lincoln said: We'll. |
hardly know what to think Of him, al
together. He is the quietest little
fellow you ever saw. He makes the
least fuss of any man you ever knew.
l believe two or three times he has
been in this room a minute or SO be-
fore 1 knew he was here. It's about
so all around. The only evidence
you have he's in any place is, that he
makes things move"
After answering several other
questions, the president was asked
But how about Grants generalshipl
Is he going to be the man! :" To
which he replied with some emphasis
and gestures: Grant Is the first
general I've had; he's a general.
How do you mean, Mr.. Lincoln ?"
his visitor asked We'll. I'll tell YOU
what l mean, replied Lincoln: YOU
know how its been with the rest. As
soon as Ii put a man IN command Of
tue army, he'd come to me with a
plan Of q campaign. As much rs to
saw: Now, l don't believe | can DO
it. but II YOU say so Ill try it on
and so put the responsibility Of sue

me to be the general N0w. Il isn't
so with Grant. He hasn't told me
what his plans are: / don't know. and

DawnIng Sense OF a Better Life.

I believe there is in most men and
women. however degraded, the seed
of better life. The first step will
probably be the awakening OF an in
terest in something outside them
selves; not n purpose Of change, but
simply an interest, 1t may be n dc
sire 10 learn the alphabet, or an awak
onod taste for reading, or n little in
clination TO know something, II may
DO n pride in personal appearance, OF
u dawning sense of tho agreeablGness
of ORDER neatness, cleanliness. Or II
may be some pleasure in discovered
power TO do well piece OF work. This
interest, once aroused, can DO stimu
lated 10y various indictments, slight
rewards of promotion, the fear of So
cial degradation and this path OF
doing well will become powerfully at
tractiye, when it is seen to DO the
path, the only one, TO liberty.
But this interest, in any form, with
even the prize of liberation, cannot
be depended on to last The will OF
the criminal is weak and vascillating.
He cannot be depended on-he can
not depend upon himself, for contin-
uance He may fall and fall, again
and again. The only remedy in his
case--and it is the common case-is
to keep him at it, keep him trying,
until n habit is formed,
until his will his strength
ened-until, in fact, it is mentally
and phys ically just MS easy for him to
live a nor nal, healthful life as it was
to live a disorderly life.-Harper's
Monthly.
