hurried away to the place of concealment.
Though Daisy had been so brave, it was
a timid knock that arouse the old dame
from her habitual revere. She was so

girls, surprising that she woull not admit
them, were about to retire. At that

The land Of Rest.

Beyond the valley lying low,
Through which our feet some day shall 90
Beyond the high hills purple haze,
That stretches lar hey nd our gaze,
There is place N ost sweet and blest
Which here we call the Land Of Rest.
land with hills and valleys fair,
And many OF our loved ones there;
So silently, and one by one
They went the lonesome journey on;
All, with white hands upon their breast,
Went out into the Land OF Rest

I long to know how it will be
When first these eyes Of mine behold
The land OF which the prophets told;
Ofmy inheritance possessed,
When shall / come to that Land al Restr

Not with reluctance shall go,
But on my lips a happy song
That it, the day looked for so long,
Has come to take me to that blest,
That peaceful land, the Land OF Rest.

Wills That are Not Wills.

Chicago Times.
The litigation over Mr. Tilden's will

not control the disposition Of his own
property after death, who can? He
was noted for his ability and shrewd-
ness as a lawyer. He had ample time,
and the best legal talent Of the coun-
try at his command. His will was
drawn with care, for it was an elabor-
ate document. which was intended to
control the disposal OF millions. He
sired to found great public charity.
But 1T seems that there is a great
probability that his intention will
fail because of some o bscure technical
ity OF the law. The court Of appeals
has decided that a valid trust clause

tlonal and scientific purposes as in
their Judgment would most widely
benefit mankind. This clause opens
the door OF doubt. The wide discre-
ton gwen to the trustees makes it
questionable whether their trust can
be enforced. No man can by law be
compelled to do that which is disere-
tionary with him. If the trust clause
fails the property will go to the heirs
and the city of New York lose the
benefit Of this great bequest. The
Herald says that there is reason to
fear that subsequent rulings will con-
firm the fears that are entertained.
1t seems to be difficult for a man OF
wealth to realize that there is no
scheme possible by which he can re-
tain after death hold upon his
property. Efforts to do so usually
result in litigation. He who desires
to establish a great charity should
commence the work during his life
time, as hundreds of cases ike that
OF Mr.. Tilden have shown.

L AIN really sorry lOI you, Sald DalSy,

Sorry won't put clothes on my back and
food i'll my mouth, I can tell you, snapped
the old woman impatiently.
You ought to have pension, and am
sure if the President knew how badly off
you are, he would give you one, ventured
Julia, not knowing just how a pension
could be obtained.
"A pension! the price of blood. Girl
what do you mean? Would | take money
for the life of my boy?' cried the infurlated
creature, raising her cane in threatening
manner.
No, no! we did not mean that, but is
there nothing we can do to help you?' eX-
planned Daisy.
Yes, you can take yourselves off and let
me alone was the sharp 1ejoiner.
No sooner had they turned away than
the door was shut with bang, and the
| bolt slipped back to its place.
| Julia was grateful to be out in the free
| air once more, but Daisys tender heart
tempted her to plead the cause Of the
lonely old woman with so much eloquence
as to enlist the sympathies of the villagers;
and that night a dozen girls, headed by

After considerable grumbling, the old
woman hobbled across the room and de-
manded what they meant by disturbing
her. If you We come thinking to tease

asked if they might not go in.

At first she feared that her search

And, on this chosen day, when all the past
Its tragedy, its glory, passion, woe
when mem ries rush upon us thick and
fast,
Kindling to life the scenes of long ago.
Come we, race of brothers, bound with
ties
Cemented by the blood these heroes shed,
TO muse in reverence, with molstened
eyes,
And pay our tribute to the silent dead.
Soldier, the glowing wreath that left your
hand
To lightly fall upon that cherished grave.
Has sanctified the turf on which you stand
And smoothed the pillow of the sleeping
brave.
Sister who placed your simple garland SO;
Son, mother, wife, whose eyellds still
Your dewy gift has stolen half your woe,
And told the lost that you can not forget.
Aye, as yon graye-eyed dame forbears to
weep
While strewing forth her fragrant BIOS
SONS there,
Her hero, in his everlasting sleep,
But rests the calmer for her loyal care.
No soldiers heart may burn with anger
here;
The past lies buried, like it's noble dead !;
And from these flowers, with radiance
grand and clear,
The light of an abiding peace is shed.
70 thought of strife and hate arises now
For blue and gray at last join hands and
Eternal friendship DER each others dust.

THE JOINT DISCUSSION.

Unexpectedly to all three Of the
gentlemen, Walter Evans, John W.
Lockett aud F. II. Roberts, there was
hitch in the speaking appointments
last Saturday. Neither Mr.. Powell
or Mr.. Roberts had expected that Mr.
Evans would be here on that day, but
as Mr.. Evans had been advertised to
speak at ! 80 and came down from
Louisville to fill his appointment,
Messrs. Locket. and Roberts surren-
dered the afternoon to him and post
poned their joint discussion until
night. Though a heavy rain storm
came up about6 o'clock and rain con-
tinued to fall all through the early
part of the night, the court house " as
pretty nearly filed with persons be-
longing to both parties. Mr.. Lockett
opened the debate at Z o'clock and
spot e for an hour and three quarters,
which according to agreement was ali
the time he was entitled TO, with If
teen minutes 10 reply to Mr.. Roberts.
The discussion was conducted IN a
most friendly manner and received
the closest attention of the audience.
The remarks of the gentlemen were
most altogether confined 10 the tariff
question and exhibited the most care
full study of that problem by both OF
them. Mr.. Lockett's speech was re-
plete with sound logic, uumistakable
statistics from most reliable sources
aud spirit of fairness and generosity
and he certainly had great advan-
tage over Mr.. Roberts, who does not
speak with the fluency and ease ex-
pected of him. But both sides of the
tariff plank were well discussed.

As personal matter will state IL we
had competing lines running north,

too glad to start fertilizer factory at

country that uses it largely. But
unless we have competing lines 50 as
to reduce freigh,s aud bring in raw
materials from the great west, it is
useless 10 start such a concern.
What l say of this is also true of many
other enterprises. The true source OF
wealth ia any country is to produce
something-be this on The farm, in
the mine, or in the shop. Then If sale
can be found for production at reason
able prices above the cost money is
made. The more consumers we can
hsve'the better for the producers or
the nearer we can bring consumer
and producer together the better for
all concerned. V. NJ NJ.

GAINESVILLE MARKET.

This has been the closing week OF
the tobacco year, and there has been
little or no interest in the market, a
winding up of the odds and ends.
The market is exceedingly dull, and
no demand for low grades. The sales
amount to about 500 hogsheads, most
ly low grades at very low prices.
The Grange House reports the sales
Of lib hhds. of leaf, at So 90 for CON-
mon to $ll % for fine leaf; Sc hhds.
of Jugs, at from 70 cents to $4 20.
The Central House sold l43 hhds.
The highest price obtained was $3.50
for good leaf
We learn that stemmers at Owens
boro, KY, are buying the now crop
at 81 90 for leaf and 80 cents for lugs.
These prices will force cessation in
that section. Also in Indiana and

RAILROADS.

EDITOR OF THE SoUTH kENTUCXIAS:
Facts are stubborn things and he
who says that we can get along with.
out rail roads in this progressive age
has only to look at those countries
without them. Not long since 1 was
travelling in company with a celebra-
ted abroad man through the swamps
and heavy pine forests of Mississippi
lie abruptly asked me, "Do you know
the greatest blessing to man in this
age ?" | told him supposed that de-
pended on his condition. "Well," he
said, din such o country as this, they
need railroads, to bring in saw mills,
to take the lumber to market, to clear
up the lands, to build residences,
school houses, churches, factories Of
all kinds, Such inevitably follow
rail roads, / have often thought OF
his remark, and noticed closely his
prediction, and in every case have
found IL so. The greatest trouble
is where there is only one rail road
through country, they are able to
become oppressive and extortionate,
for if there isonly one chance TO get to
or from market the road, like indivld-
uals, will likely take advantage of ii
aud get ,all it can by exorbitant
charges.
just at this time our county is
greatly interested in getting two new
railroads to run through the county.
From my standpoint can not con-
ceivc of greater material blessing.
