There is something better than q
revival, and that is Christian life that
doesn't need to be revived. - Moody.
When men ask their teachers, not
for that which will make them moro

farewell TO Christian success.
We can never see this world In its
true light unless we consider our life
in 1t as a state Of discipline, q condition
through which we are passing TO pre-
pare us for another state beyond. -.

Various ways in Which This Mysterious
Phenomenon Displays Itself.

PheuOmenon displays Atseh'
Somnambulism, in its simplest form,
is seen when persons talk in their sleep.
They are plainly asleep and dreamingi
yet the connection, ordinarily broken,
between the physical organs and the
images passing through the mind Is re-
tanned or resumed, in whole or in part.
1t is very common for childrento talk
more or less in their sleep; also many
persons who do not usually do so are
liable to mutter II they have over-eaten,
or are ieverish or otherwise Ill. Slight
movements are very frequent. Many
who do not fancy that they have ever
exhibited the germs Of somnambulism
groan, ory out, whisper, move the hand,
or foot, or head, plainly In connection
with ideas passing through the mind.
From these ineipient manifestations Of
no Importance somnambulism reaches
frightful intensity and almost incon'
ceivable complications.
Sonambulists In this country have re.
Gently perpetrated murders, have even
killed their own children; they have
carried furniture out Of houses, wound
up clocks, ignited conhagrations. a
carpenter not long since arose in the
night, went into his shop and began to
file saw; but the noise Of the opera
tion awoke him. The extraordinary
feats of somnambulists in ascending to
the roofs Of houses, threading danger
GUS places, and doing many other
things which they could not have done
while awake, have often been described,
and in many cases made the subject Of
close investigation. Formerly it was
believed by many that if they were not
awakened they would in process Of time
return to their beds, and that there
would not be any danger Of serious &C
cident happening to them. This has
long been proved false. Many have
fallen out Of windows and been killed;
and, though some have skirted the
brink of danger safely, the number OF
accidents to sleeping persons is great.
Essays have been written by SOM
nambulists. A young lady, troubled
and anxious about prize for which she
was to compete, involving the writing
of an essay, arose from her bed in sleeI
and wrote a paper upon subject upor
which she had not intended to write
when awake; and this essay secured fol
her the prize. The same person. late
in life, while asleep selected an OBJ
noxious paper from among several doc
uments, put it in cup, and set fire t.
it. She was entirely unaware OF tn
transaction in the morning.
Intellectual work has sometimes beel
done in ordinary dreams not attends
by somnambulism. The composition
of the "Kubla Kahn" by Coleridg
while asleep and of the ''Devils Soma
, ia" by Tartini, are paralleled in smal
way frequently. Public speakers ofte
, dream out discourses; and there is
! clergyman now residing in the wester
part OF New York State who, man
years ago, dreamed that he preached
. powerful sermon upon certain topic
and delivered that identical discours
! the following Sunday with great effec
Both such compositions are not son
nambulistic unless accompanied b
some outward action at the time.-Re'

HEARTS LOVE.

Like benediction, sweet and holy
Falling on the heart like dew,
Is thy love, oh, friend the dearest
Is thy loye-strong, deep, and true.
Like river, calmly bearing,
On its bosom burdens fair,
Is thy love, Oh, heart the truest,
Is thy loving, tender care.
Like the morning light that brightenS
All the waiting shadoYed land,
Is thy love, oh, heart undoubted,
To thy trusting household band.
Like the twilight calm and tranquil,
Laden with the breath Of flowers,
Shall thy love be-heart still faithful
Through life's peaceful closing hours

Montgomery County Alliance met
at Troy on Saturday, January 18th,
1888, and was opened according to
form, President r. T. Rush in the
chair.
Owing to a rainy day the attend,
anee was not so large as we expected.
Twenty delegates answered as per
credentials.
Every Alliance in the county rep
resented except one. There were
about 80 visiting members.
Bro. R. T. Rush offered his resigna-
ton as County Business Agent for
the county.
On motion, the resignation was &C
cepted.
On motion, Bro. d. G.. Baldwin was
elected County Business Agent.
On motion, a committee of two
were appointed to see Bro. Baldwin to
ascertain whether he would accept or
not.
The committee report that Bro.
Baldwin will accept the position.
AS the committees had no reports
to make, on motion, the meeting ad-
journed to meet the first Saturday in
February, 1888, for the purpose of
receiving reports of Business Agent
and committee.
Since our meeting, Bro. d. G Bald
win has died of pneumonia. He died
ON the oath ult. 1t will delay our
county business.
Bro. Baldwin was an upright man,
good citizen, a good neighbor and a
kind husband. He leaves a wife and
six children to mourn his loss. He
will be missed more than any man in
his community. He was very kind to
tho poor, and some of them grieveahis
loss as much IS his, family. He was
buried by the Alliance. He was also
one of our trade committee for the
county.
The prospect of the Alliance is
booming in Montgomery. [ think
that we will have 500 or 1000 mem
bers in the county by spring.
Money matters are tight in Mont

realize that it is to their interest to

ALLIANCE ORGANIZERS,
(OFFICIAL.)

The demard for organizers, is SO ear
hest and general among our farmers in all
sections of our State, and applications for
commissions are being made in such irreg-
ular form, that it is deemed. for the more
expeditions and more thorough and eff
cient organizations of our State, that a
number of earnest, competent and devoted
brethren be commissioned at the earliest
practicable time, and sent to different por-
tons Of the State.
desire commissions, that applications
should be made, by letter, to the President
of the State Alliance, Charlotte, N. c., or
in person to our State Organizer, Bro
G. B. Pickett. In either case the appli-
cant must furnish testimonials as to char
acter, capacity and fitness for the work.
In all cases it is absolutely essential to
good work and success, that the organizer
should be thoroughly instructed in the Sc
cret work of the order and in the princi-
Piles, purposes and business plans of the
order. The State Organizer being thor
oughly versed in all the work of the Or
der, in detail will gladly nnpart full in
structions to all who may be appointed.
1t is highly important that each one ap-
pointed should spend a few days with the
State Organizer, in his work and thus
learn practically the duties he must per-
form. We want good, earnest, active,
capable men for this work, and men Of
character and integrity, who will devote
themselves faithfully to it.

SPECIAL NOTICE TO ORGAN
IZERS.

I am instructed by Bro. S. B. Alexan-
der, President Of the N. G. +. S. Alliance,
to direct the attention Of Deputy Organ
izers to Section 3, Article 8, of the Con-
stitution, requiring them to report month
ly to this office the work they have per-
formed. 1t is highly important to the
progress and well being of the order that
organizers observe faithfully this require
ment of the law, and President Alexander
urges that all organizers who have not
done so, will report at once to this office
the work performed by them since they
received their Commission.
By order Of President S. B. Alexander.

TO THE DEPUTY ORGANIZERS
OF THE FARMERS ALLIANCE.

Many complaints have been made to me,
that deputy organizers are not organizing
the territory assigned them with that dill
egence we have a right to expect. That
some appear to be waiting for farmers to
assemble, and send a special committee to
the deputy organizer, to come and organ
ize them, instead of going into each neigh
borhood, and explaining the Alliance to
the farmers, and inducing them to organ
lie. Several deputy organizers have made
no report to the State Secretary since
their appointment. Some have made but
few reports, indicating they have spent
but little time in the work. To those
whose reports to the State Secretary
show that they have worked diligently, I
must say, well done; the Alliance is proud
of you. IF any deputy organizer finds
that he cannot work up the territory ASST
gned him in a reasonable time it is his duty,
to either ask for the appointment of one
or more assistants, or resign. It is not
right o'hold the Office of deputy organizer
unAess you are going to every neigh
borhood, either individually or by+am assist
ant. We cannot reap the greatest benefits
Of the business features Of the Alliance,
until our State is thoroughly organized.
Upon you rests that, responsibility. Push
the work.

the further fact that two-thirds of the
cotton in the cotton belt is demanded
and used for export to a foreign
power, which fixes the price on every
pound of our cotton; and in view of
the fact that the said power is debar-
red from returning to this country a
single yard of manufactured. cotton,
thereby making said power interested
in crowding down to the lowest figure
the price of cotton; we hereby demand
that the y. S. Government adopt a
speedy system of reduction of the i'm
port duty on manufactured cottons, in
such a way as to do justice to this,
the greatest of all classes Of producers.
.l4th.- We demand such~a revision
of the tariff as will lay the heaviest
burdens on the lu4uries and the light
est on the n~ecessaries of life and as
will reduce the incomes from imports
to a strictly revenue basis.
18th. That as a remedy against the
unjust accumulation and encroach-
ment of capital, we demand a gradu-
ated income tax. i.
10th. That as upon the intelligence
of the people depend the stability and
perpetuity of our own free govern
ment, we demand for the masses a
well regulated system of industrial
and agricultural education.
18th. That we oppose the continued
influx of pauper labor from the mon
arches of Europe, whose anarchic
views and communistic- doctrines are
breeding discomfort, and disloyalty to
law, order, peace and good govern
ment; and by an overplus of worth
less labor, reducing our own laboring
classes to starvation, we therefore de-
mand more stringent laws to prevent
this country being further used as an
asylum for the communists and pau
pers Of other countries.
18th. We demand that the consti.
buttons, both State aud National, be so
amended as to provide for the election
of U. S. Senators by direct vote of
the people.

the necessity of organizing for the
purpose of cooperation and self-pro-

Owing to the extreme bad weather,
bad roads, &C., the progress of organ

outlook is good for the near future,
