THE BIRTH OF THE OPAL.
How Ella Wheeler Wilcox Came to Write Her
Latest Poem.
a. ~. l.

--latest I0clN.
New York Graphic
Mrs. Wilcox's latest original poem,
which the Graphic gives publsation to
for the first time, has a story connected
with its birth. Mrs. Wilcox was looking
at private collection of opals in the
possession of MIR. Herman Marcus of this
city. Among them was a piece of rock
from Honduras, in which nestled the un-
cut opal as nature placed 1t. Mr.. Marcus,
who is man of rare poetic taste, said to
Mrs. Wilcox, ~ have always wanted some
poet to put in verse my idea of the opal.
| think q sunbeam welded a moonbeam,
and that the opal was their offspring
Mrs. Wilcox seat the poem published to-
day to Mr.. Marcus few days later. He
kept the verses for his own private use
until now, when they appear in print for
the first time. Mr.. Courtney Thorpe,
however, made it familiar TO some New
Workers by reciting it in parlors last
season, where it always ELECTED much ap'
plause.
The sunbe am loved the Moonbeam,
And followed her low and high;
But the Moonbsam fled and hid her head
lie was 30 sby-so shy.
The Sunbeam woed with passion,
All he was lover bold
And his heart was ahre with mad desire
For tho MoonOeam pale and cold
She fed Ike dream before h'n,
Her hair was a shining sheen;
And, OH that Fate would annihilate
The pace that lay between.
Just as the Day lay painting
In the arms of the Twilight dim
The Sunbeam caught the one be sought
And drew her close to him.
But out OF his warm arms startled,
And stirred by loves first shock,
She ssrang afraid ike q trembling maid,
And hG In the niche Of a rock
And the Sunbeam followed and found her,
And led her to loves own feast,
And they were wet on that rocky bed,
Aud ths dying Day was their priest.
And 10! the beautiful Opal,
That rare and w0ndrous gem,
Where the Moon and Sun blend into one,
Is the child that was born to them.

The monopolies have death grip on
the farmers, and unless there i some
action taken on their part for relief
from this grip. not only the farmer will
suffer from the consequence but the
merchant and mechanic likewise are
bound to come to grief. Meat is still
advancing in price, and lard is higher
than 1t has been for several years. Flour
has advanced in the last few days 81
on the barrel. Unless the farners Of
the south pay more attention to the
raising Of their own supplies. or enough
meat and corn to supply the home con-
sumption we never will be able to get
out Of the power Of the monopolist.
The Alliance and the Wheel should be

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.--R. G. Dun &

way from 2,015 ,0Oo,OOO bushels, but it
Is doubtless The largest crop ever raised.
The increase OF more than 10000 COO
bushels in this crop far outweighs in
valueany loss in the yield of wheat and
also any possible loss in the yield Of
cotton. But the yield OF oats is also the
largest on record, and the yield of hay
and potatoes excellent. 1t Is safe to
say that this years agricultural prod.
