NOTHING Is LOST.

Nothing is lost: the drop OF dew
Which trembles on the leaf or flower,
Is but exhaled TO fall anew
In summers thunder shower;
Perchance TO shine within the bow
That fronts the sun at fall of day;
Perchance TO sparkle in the flow
OF fountains far away.
Nothing is lost; the tiniest seed
By wild birds borne, on breezes blown,
finds something suited to its need,
Wherein It's sown AID grown.
The language Of some household song,
The perfume Of some cherished flower,
Though gone from outward sense, belong
To nemory's after hour.
So with our words-or harsh or kind,
Uttered, they are not all forgot;
They have their influence on the mind,
Pass on, but perish not.
So with our deeds-for good or Ii,
They have their power, scarce understood;
Then let US use our better will
TO make them rife with good

BLAINE ON THURMAN.
Estimate OF Him W hen He Didn't knoW
He was Loaded.

In his Twenty Years IN Congress. eX-
Senator James e. Blaine wrote of eX Sena-
tor Allen g. Thurman as follows:
His rank in the Senate was established
from the day he took his seat, and was
never lowered during the period Of his
service. He was an admirably disciplined
debater was fair in his method Of state
ment, logical in his argument, honest III
his conclusions He had no trick in dis
cussion, no catch phrases to secure atten-
ton. but was always direct and manly.
His mind was not preoccupied and en-
crossed with political contests or with
affairs of State. He possessed natural
and cultivated tastes outside of those fields.
He was a discriminating reader, and en-
joyed not only serious books but inclined
to the lighter indulgence of romance and
poetry. He was especially fond OF RE
best French writers. He loved Moliere
and Racine and could quote with rare en-
ioyment the humorous SCIENCES depicted
by Balzac. He took pleasure III the drama,
and was devoted to music. In Washing
ton he could usually be found in the best
seat of the theatre when a good play was
to be presented or an opera was 10 oe
given These tastes illustrate the genial
side Of his nature and were fitting com
plement to the stronger, sterner elements
of the man. His retirement from the
Senate was a serious loss to his party-a
loss, indeed, to the body. He left behind
him the respect of all with whom he had
been associated during his twelve years of
honorable service.

J. Mott is setting his pegs for position on
the National Executive Committee. The
Watauga Enterprise has left Pritchard' s
name off her mast head, and prominent
Republicans in Watauga county, such as
L. L. Green, are denouncing him in public
speeches as unworthy of Republican sup

afford to vote for him.

Especial Cor. STATE CHEONICLE.l
The pointed way IL which YOU answered
your Sectarlan correspondent last week
struck me with peculiar force, and desire
to congratulate you on the article If
there is any one thing that threatens the
welfare and permanent progress of the
Democratic party, more than another, it is
tins damnabe, narrow minded, contemp-
table church demagoguery that is so fIc-
quently manifested by some of our politi-
cal christians. You call this spirit of re
hglous intolerance 10y its right name when
you call it bigotry.
This spirit, that some men who hone for
preferment but know that they are them
selves devoid of anything that entities
them to receive political recognition, is
abroad in our State. 1t is born of hell and
utterly without the least element of reig-
ION, and deserves to be stamped out The
men who would milk the church for po-
litical influence deserve nothing at the
hands OF a party except contempt and OBJ
liviOn.
am told that in the State of Georgia
the first thing fellow who wants Office is
required to do is to join either the Metho-
dist or Baptist church before he stands any
chance of political preferment. These two
religious denominations have done, it is
asserted by those who profess to know.
as you pointed out would be done in this
state il ever this spirit ofAciiurch bigotry
gained sufficient power.
They have organized a religious Trust.

no doubt but that these religious TRUSTS, "

Now, I'll tell you what | think about poll

grace TO the country, and the flags should
fly upside down, if Mr.. Cleveland is not

all, he's been a very good President and
he's a Democrat next, because am not "a
believer in the four years term-a man
only has time to learn how to be "A Presi-
dent when he's ierked out and somebody
perfectly ignorant of the duties is put in.
For my part, | believe in an eight years
term and right to re-elect for four years
If the people wish it.
Most Presidents would die during that
time, and it would give the Vice President
a show. i think we are greatly given TO
choosing men who are too old-it is all
very well to talk about experience, but ex
perience isn't everything, and experience
doesn't count for anything when a man

got to begin his experience all over again.

years Mr. Cleveland has learned and he
