The Little Teacher.

Phi HafTalahn in Springfield Cdass.) Union.
She teaches school just out Of town, a nile OF
50. perhaps,
And has the usual trouble that is had with
country chaps.
She keeps them il at recess and At evening after
school.
And Tor ali their many capers makes them read
80 anu spell by rule.
She scolds them and advises, and sometimes
with telling Eaps
Chides them for their misbehavior and the
thousand needless haps.
But they love her-and the children somewhat
there resemble me
That's the reason why on Fridays am always
there at three
They bring her pinks and daisies, and bouquets
OF sweet wild flowers
Culled from hedge and field and forest and the
woods secluded bowers.
And she pins them on her bosom, fain to please
the little ones;
Just proudly, too she wears them as she
would as many crowns;
And at times she, resting, tells them. for their
Kindness, some strange tale
FILLED with pleasure for the happy, filed with
love for those that wall
And how marvellous story that she tells will
grow to be
That's the reason why on Fridays am always
there at threel
All around the little building there's an air of
classic lore.
CThis is for the school directors) but for me
there's something more.
Little hearts are drilled in kindness, and are
schooled in love for friends,
And the restless. narrow children taught TO seek
unselfsh ends.
How she suffers their shortcomings, how she
links them TO the truth
Makes me often have a longing for a joy,
although uncouth-
That hayward little urchin in her keeping
might be
That's the reason why on Fridays am always
there at three!
Wandering now my thoughts are strangely DER
the hills where fancies shine,
And see the little teacher in her sweetness
wholly mine;
There the rustic school no longer glimmers in
my happy dream,
But instead a lovely cottage swells within the
mystic dream.
Time has wrought its wonted changes, but the
evening shadows grow
Still the same on Friday evenings as they used
to years ago;
And strange voice seems to ask me as de-
mandS so pure as she:
Are you ever now as careful to be with her
just at three?n

A Modern Romance Of the East.

st. Louis, it win afford the greatest oDuor-
tunity the south has ever had OF showing
what she is and what she Is capable of. and
if she does not take advantage Of it and use
1t for all it is worth she will lie guilty of
gross neglect Of her interests. Every state
in the south should make an appropriation
ample for the occasion. l. will be difficult
to get some of them TO do so, but the fact
must be impressed upon them that this is
the opportunity of the century. and that
another as good may not be offered for
many years.
The southern press has contained much

progress of this section, and the northern
press has contained good deal 1t is be-

possesses immense resources, that she is
rapidly advancing toward that position
which, by reason of her natural advantages.
she should have reached long ago, and that
IN the course Of time she may outstrip any
other part of the country, and yet there
are people in the north who are skeptical
about the south's advantages, and many
more who are wholly ignorant with
respect TO them. There is moth
ing like ocular demonstration, and
and when southern ores, coal, timbers,
manufactured articles, wool, live stock,
cotton, corn, wheat, rice and tobacco are
placed upon exhibit in the north, at a great
worlds fair, as they should be, then, and
not till then, will skepticism, prejudice and
ignorance as to our condition and possi5il-

prosperity, greater than has yet been ex-

The honorable senator from New Hampshire
there Is only one senator from New Hamp-
shire to whom that adjective can be applied,
even by stretch of cOurtesy-is not alone in
the opinion that the press is in league against
him. There is not a callow pretender in any
department Of Intellectual exeriion that does
not share the opinion. There is not in all the
land sef-styled poet that puts dreary plati-
tudes or incomprehensib.e fancies into halter

an unholy conspiracy TO keep his productions
from millions that are yearning to devour
them. There is not writer Of unreadable fc-
ton but thinks the same thing.

Designing politicians are unquestionably
trying to draw the Georgia farmers alli-
ance into politics. but there are gratifying
signs that they will fail. The alliancemen
recognize their duty to participate in
politics, with q view to selecting the best
men for Office, but they prefer to do so as
citizens rather than as alliancemeu.
Several county alliances have by resolution
declared their unwillingness to take part in
politics as an organization, and this example
is likely to be followed pretty generally in
the state. The alliances outside of the state
should do likewise.

Solid Prosperity and Speculation.


The south is proud, and justly proud of
her material progress. Her people have
gone to work to develop her resources, and
the hand of industry has wrought into
wealth the bounty of nature. The result
has challenged the attention of the country,
and the north, east, and west have sent
men and money to help in the work and TO
enjoy the harvest.
There are very few unmixed blessings.
and it is just as well to keep some cold facts
in sight along with the bright realities and
roseate prospects. Whenever a locality
attracts attention by reason of its superior
advantages, the rush to seize upon these
advantages seldom fails to bring some evils
in its train. In North Georgia, in Alabama.
and in Tennessee, the promoters of real
estate speculations and organizers
of speculative companies have done
great deal of harm. The
desire to get rich suddenly has had the ef-
feet of putting land values in towns in those
localities on false basis. Real, enduring
wealth is created only by labor, and the at
tempt to base land values on future posi-
bilities instead OF improvement actually
made, or under way, is reversal of the
proper order of things, and can hardly fail
of a disastrous result.
The MORNING NEWS has no desire to dis
credit the great industrial movement of the
south. 1t only wants to throw out a re-
minder of the fact that cities are built and
communities enriched by labor, and not by
speculation. About every city in Georgia
has been built up on this idea, and ca n show
results, not mere probabilities, in support
of their claims to growth and development
There can be no doubt that mining and
manufacturing are playing, and viii con-
tinue to play, an important part in the
south's progress; and there is also no doubt
that other interests, far greater in the ag-
gregate, must continue to receive proper
attention. OF course everybody cannot go
to manufacturing. There must be consum-
ers or there would be no demand for the
things which are produced.
The farms of the south will be her main
stay for long time to come Where agri-
culture can proftatly be carried on, it
will continue to be the main source of
wealth. 1t is not detracting from lesser ad-
vantages to call attention to greater: but
the lesser should not be permitted to OBJ
scure the greater. Let the farmers of Geor-
gia and the south stay on their farms and
make more fine crops like that of last year,
and the farming and manufacturing classes
will travel hand in hand to prosperity
greater than that which they now have.
