HOPE

Hope Is an snxiOuS craving dream
And fingers here until the beam
OF life h ado away;
And IN the shining sands that CLEAN
uoug HES ~treacherous, bounding stream.
We trace her name today.
How Oft uDon Ife'B sandy shore
Lbatlons sweet to Hope We pour,
Expecting much to gain;
They sink In sound, nre seen no moro,
Our mouIent's dream OF bliss Is o'er.
TN charmed by hope again
How lightly Will Hopes morning dreams
Leave Us when lifo's monday beams
Upon our heads shall fall;
Tts her bright dream alone that deems
That future llfc with riches teens
And strives to grasp them all
Though chilled by storms OF changing ufe
And wounded by the darts Of strife
or lowly cot she lie;
Though tyrants raEo and fate should mock,
h will recover from the shock,
And not entirely die.
Her star stil guides tho sailor cyo
And sweetly Eoothes the mAIdcn's sigh,
And binds them soul To soul;
A something In the human breast
Tint will not sleep, that cannot rest
Nor Yield 10 fAte's control
Upon lIfc's path It Is the light
That guides each traveller Alright
To every soul It's given;
1t IA tho CHRISTIANS light divine,
And on his path viii ever shine
To guide him homo 10 heaven

Advantage of Icing a blonde.

Every year we get tho cry from fashion
writers, Blondes no longer In style: they
havo been superseded Gy their darker
sisters" etc. Now. that's all nonsense.
You cannot do away with tho blonde, nor
can you do away with frizzled, banged
hair. Prominently, tho blonde Is the
beauty Of civilization She is among us,
to stay MS such, and sho cannot be driven
away. a brunette now and Their may
rise supreme Owe her by reason Of
wonderful l~ovelinoss, but we arc speak
ing collectively. A woman can dress
moro effectively with blonde hair than
with dirk; 1t lights up bettcr and is
moro youthful. \ well kept blonde has
ten years advantage, In point of youth
full looks, over the average brunette.
Once in q lifetime or 80 there arises a
miraculous brunette who completely sur
passes her, but for steady, ordinary good
looks that make no prctcntions of great
beauty, tho blonde carries tho palm.
You cannot cxpunge hor in favor OF the
brunette oven in literature. In the novels
turned out during tho past year there
have been $50 blondes to 100 brunettes.-

TWELVE HUNDRED FEET.
New YOrl<'S Projected Tower
which Will SurpaSs E,iHeI's.

DETROIT, Mich, September 25.-Mr.
Charles Kellogg, general superintendent
OF the Kellogg seamless tube and manu-
featuring company of Findland, Ohio, at
present visiting in this city, is authority
tor the statement that New York ishgur-
ing on the erection OF a tower which will
in every respect Surpass the famous Eiilcl
tower of Paris. 1t is the design, MIR.
Kellogg says, to offer this tower as the
crowning reason why the worlds tair
should be located in New Nurd, thus
throwing Chicago into confusion at the
last moment. Such capitalists as Jay
Gould and Russell Sage are backing the
movement Mr.. Kellogg is at present
engaged in preparing the plans.
The tower will cost in the neiEhbor-
hood of S2,OOO, 900, and will be fully
200 feet high, the Eifitl tower being
less than 1000. 1t will be about $50
icct in diameter at the base ana about
100 feet at the summit. The details are
somewhat crude and incomplete as yet.

ELECTRIC MOTORS.
They Work All Right Here and
Give No Trouble,

We learn with surprise, through the
Charlotte Chronicle, that the directors
of the Richmond electric railway con-
clude that the motive power was too
expensive, had proved failure, and that
there must be return to horse power
unless more reliable motors can be SUD.
Piled.
The Chronicle says
This is the first complaint of this char
aCter that the writer recalls. Wherever
electric street cars have been used, except
IN Richmond, the rule has been that they
cost less than any other motive power.
What does the CITIZEN say about the
use of electric motors in AshevilIe?
In reply we state that the electric mo-
tor is the first and only power ever tried
here. The directors had confidence in it
from the first, and have neverlost it. So
far from it, that with growing popular
ity of the Asheville electric railroad, the
directors might wish they had more of
it. And they will have in a short while.
Why Richmond should fail and Ashevillc
succeed so brilliantly is past understand
ing. Certainly here the grades are
sleeper and longer and the lines more
crooked than in Richmond Our electric
road has come to stay, the pride and
comfort to its patrons and the source of
profit to it's owners.
We may further say to the Chronicle,
that a line of electric railway is to be
laid between here and the Sulphur Springs
Carriers Hotel distance of four and
and half miles; and an effort which
promises success, is being made to lay
like road to Weaverville, nine miles north
of Ashevile Most surely our directors
will never say die.
