CONCEALNENT.

If thy dear, searching eyes could to my
heart
Find but the subtitle way, its truth to
see,
Thou wouldst not then in silence grieve
apart
That thy great love should unrequited
be;
For It's but seeming, dear. that | am cold
Aud imesponsive to they yearning still.
| need must seal my lips, lest they,
o'erbold,
Should open wide the barred gates of
the will,
And all that deep and restless prisoned
tide
Which hidden lies, in its imprisoned
sway,
Burst forth so swift and strong that else
beside
Might strive and strive in vain, Its force
stay.
nost thou not know with what persistent
The smouldcring fire burns its steadfast
way,
That of its might no warning tale is told
The careless eye whichGlA ks alone the
ray,
The light, to say if fire be or no,
Until by chance some wandering breath
of air
Wakes with its touch to fiery crimson
glow
The unseen thing which all the while
was there
So, hidden love, a smouldering fire burns,
Nor gives from out the breast a tell-tale
CLEAN,
Till some magnetic current swiftly turns
Its unseen light to wondrous glowing
beam.
Nay then, dear love, think not that thou
eanst read
My heart and soul by looking in my
face;
Or weigh their worth by every careless
deed.
That thou canst thus all depth of feel
ing trace
Nay, 'tis too sacred far for common eye,
Thus love l hold for thy dear self alone;
Alone for the shall my heart open lie,
10 none but thee its tenderness be
known;
So if thou wait somo outward sign to see,
Ah, then, need must wait because thou
hast
So willed, till fate-or ohance-wh ch
ecr it be,
Shall kindly bring us heart to heart at
last.

An Experiment Worth Trying.

Last October the jackson CIar-
ion published an interesting com.
municalion about sweet potatoes
by Rev. @. X. Marshall. AS "sweet
tater" time il approaching, we re-
print the article and recommend
our readers to set aside a few rows
in each ''patch" and make the ex-
pertinent suggested:
/. The best sweet potatoes grow
from the last years vines. These
must be preserved from heating
and from freezing, and put in ten
inch lengths, and planted. The
practice is very old. Try it.
2. Cut off all your vines as close
TO the ground as you can before
frost. Frost is fatal 10 the potatoe
ifIt touches the vine. If you don't
wish to use your vines for rough
fodder you may pile them on the
rows of your potatoes and throw
dirt on them to protect the stems
just cut, from frost.
B. Leave your potatoes in the
ground thus protected as long as
you please. In Kentucky they
leave them there all through the
winter. In this climate yoa need
have no fears Of damage by freez-
ing if properly covered.
4. An interesting fact: Your
potatoes will grow hundred per
cent. more after you have cut the
tops off and covered them with a
plow. Not only so, but they will
be sweeter, sounder and better.
They will double every way in six
or eight weeks.
"You doubt? Well sci off two
rows and dig. Then cut the vines
off two rows and leave them till
January, and then dig them and
make demonstration for yourself.
5. Once more. If you will save
your potato vines and cure them
for your stock, YOU will find them
the best food for milch cows you
ever tried, and every four footed
animal Will devour them with
great relish while they will falten
on them TO your satisfaction.
I. g. | have sweet potatoes that
are nineteen years old, and they
are as good to-day as at the begin
ming OF those years.
They NAV be sliced by machin-
cry, and dried, and kept century.
fla syndicate ~ were organized
to supply the worId-the ships, and
the "rest Of mankind" the sweet
potato crop of the South would be
worth so much money that it
would put new life into some Sec
lions of the country.

rERSEVERING.

The following story is one OF The
traditions oil a manufacturing firm
in Glasgow, Scotland. Thirty year:
ago, barefoot. ragged urchir
presented himself before the desk
OF the principal partner and asked
for work as errand-boy. 0
There's a deal o'rinning to be
dune,n said Mr.. Blank, jestingly,
affecting Il broad Scotch accent.
"Your first qualification wud be a
pair o'shoon."
The boy, with a grave nod, dis
appeared. He lived by doing Odd
jobs in the market, and slept un-
der one OF the stalls. Two months
passed before he had saved enough
money to buy the shoes. Then
he presented himself before Mr..
Blank one morning, and held out
package.
81 hae the shoon, sir" he said,
quietly.
"Ohp Mr.. Blank with difficult
ty recalled the Circumstance.
EYou want a place? Not in those
rags, my lad; you would disgrace
the house."
The boy hesitated a moment,
and then went out without a word.
Six months passed before he re-
turned, decently clothed in coarse
but new garments. Mr.. Blanks
interest was reused. For the first
time he looked at the boy atten
lively. His thin, bloodless face
showed that he had slinted himself
of food for months in order 10 buy
these clothes. The manufacturer
now questioned the boy closely
and found, to his regret, that he
could neither read nor write.
ut is necessary that you should
do both before we could employ
you in carrying home packages"
he sad. 1--WE have no use for
you"
The lads face grew paler, but
without a word of complaint he
disappeared. He now went fifteen
miles into the country and found
work in stables near to a night
school. At The end of a year he
again presented himself before Mr..
Blank.
II can read and wrile," he said,
briefly.
III gave HIM the place." the en-
ployer said, years afterwards,
with the conviction that in pro-
cess OF time he would take mine if
he made up his mind 10 do it.

THE CODE OF HONOR.

"Polndexter was a noted duelist
was he moi, MaJor!"
ayes, like most of his conlem-
porarles, he was believer in the
duello, and he was not averse TO
facing an antagonist on the field of
honor. In those days duels were
frequent occurrences in MississIp-
pi. Poindexter fought a duel 10
The death with Abijah Hunt, a
very prominent man. Claiborne,
in his valuable book, tells about
this celebrated duel. Mr.. Hunt
was a native of New jersey, who.
when young, moved to Mississippi.
He had large interests in NaIchez,
ashington, Greenville, Port Glib
son and Big Black, and by hIs
capital, enterprise and intelligence
exerted great social and political
influence. He was a man Of high
personal character and a decided
partisan of what was then known
as The Federal party. He took an
active part against Poindexter
and INDUCED IN some expressions
which, in the then state of public
sentiment, could not be submitted
to. Parties we're not wanted 10
aggravate POindexler, who did not
need much spurring, aud some Of
those who bitterly hated him were
anxious 10 have him shot, even
though it risked The life Of one of
their most influential leaders, who
had the usual scruples of his race
against dueling. After the chal-

Major Livingstone Minis in St. Louis
Globe Democrat
One of the most noted characters
| ever met was George Poindexter.
He was truly remarkable man.
His intellect was prodiglous. or
course, as | remember him he was
an old man-only a remnant of his
former self. He rad cut a conSpl-
cuous figure in State and national
affairs. and contributed largely in
the making of history, His public
career was indeed remarkable
Gle was Attorney General, Rep
resentative in the Legislature,
twice delegate in Congress, judge,
member Of various conventions,
Representative in Congress, Cover
nor and United States Senator-in
every instance elected by tri-
majorlties. No man ever
confronted him who was not
worsted. Is impossible TO read
his executive communications and
State papers without being i'm
pressed with the footprints of
master intellect. His career was
very illustrious in Congress. In
debate he grappled with such mag
mates as CLAW and Calhoun and held
his own. He was an eXtraordi-
nary man, there is no mistake
about that"

Cotton and wheat continue to come in

The world during several of the last
FIVE years has produced more wheat than
has been needed for current annual con-
sumption, causing an accumulation OF

wheat in the last five years hiss been
doubled in the United States and In Aus

British India. The Uaited Kingdom is

Most Of the lands known as ''stste
lands" have been donated by the state TO
the state university, deaf and dumb Snd
blind asylums and the public free schools,
and are administered by the state author
tiles In the interest OF these institutions,
in which every bona hde citizen Of Texas
Is interested, and those whom we invite
to make homes among US as well.
Owing to conflict OF surveys in some
proper classification Of the lands, there
has been much greater delsy in the en-
forcement OF the law regulating the use
and occupancy of these lands than WAS
desired by the officers who had them in
charge.
These difficulties having been overcome
to q ve'y great extent, II not entirely, the
utmost exertion will be made for the en-
forcement OF the law, and the days CT free
lands, free grass and free timber must be
ended, and every person who has, or
takes possession Of, any portion Of this
land as an actual settler will be required
to purchase and reside upon, or vscate 1t,
and any person who shsll enclose any
portion Of it, without purchasing or leSs-
ing It, will be regarded as q trespEgser
and prosecuted IS such, and any psrson
cutting, hauling, destroying or selling
timber on any land belonging to any OF
these Institutions will be prosecuted to
the full extent Of the law,iand sIl the bora
