THE MORTGAGE.
WILL NJ. CARLETON.

We worked through Spring and Winter,
through Summer and through FAN,
But the mortgage worked the hardest and
the steadiest of them ALI
1t worked ON nights and Sundays; it
worked on each holiday;
1t settled down among Us and never went
away,
Whatever we kept from it seemed almost
as bad AS theft;
1t watched us every minute, it ruled us
right and left.
The rust and blight were with us some
times, and sometimes not;
The dark browed, scowling mortgage was
forever ON the spot,
The weavil and the cutworm they went
as well as came;
The mortgage stayed forever, eating
heartily all the same.
1t nailed up every window, stood guard
at every door,
And happiness and sunshine made their
home with us no more;
Till with failing crops and sickness we got
stalled upon the grade,
And there came dark day ON us when
the interest wasn't paid.
And there came sharp foreclosure and |
kind o lost my hold,
And grew weary and discouraged, and
the farm was cheaply sold.
The children left and scattered, when
they hardly yet were grown;
My wife she pinned and persisted, an |
found myself alone.
What she died of was a ''mystery," an
the doctors never knew;
But | knew she died of mortgage-iu Just
as well as wanted to.
If to trace hidden sorrow We're within
the doctors art
They'd ha' found mortgage lying on
that woman's broken heart.
Worm or beetle, drought or tempest, on
farmers land may fall,
But for tirst-class rllination trust mort
gage gainst them all.
The Labor Adrocdte,

A GIGANTIC BOYCOTT.

The most gigantic boycott ever
known in this country is being
wagcd in California against the
Chinese and the employers Of coolic
labor. 1t is under the direction of
the "Boycott Safety Committees"
which has formed II network of Sc

five of which held II dark lantern
convention in San Francisco ON the
10Th of last month. Its objects are
declared to be to encourage the exit
OF the Chinese, to preserve the
peace, and to secure the rigid en-

SAYS the San Francisco STIR, "the
boycott works with fatal effect Its
operations are carried ON with power
and precision. 1t has already pro-
NOTED the exit of the Chinese from
many localities; it is relieving them
from labor ut several of the trades

Of It's meetings and movements show
that it is backed up with that pccu-
