THE BRAvEsT BATTLE.
JOAQUIN MILLER.

Ihe brayest battle that ever was fought,
Shall tell you where and when?
On the maps of the world you'll find it not;
Twas fought by the mothers of men.
Nay, not with cannon or battle shot,
With sword or nobler pen;
Nay, not with eloquent word or thought
From mouth of wonderful men.
But deep in walled.up woman's heart
Ofwoman that would not yield,
But bravely. .!silently bore her part--
Lo! there is the battlefield.
No marshaling troops. no blvouac song.
No banner to gleam and wave!
But oh, these battles, they last so long,
From babyhood to the grave.

Before me lies a bunch of withered flowers.
How bright and beautiful they once were.
What sweet visions of by-gone spring times

days of childhood. happy, careless, childhood.

''C0mIng Thr0' the Rye"
BURNS MEANT A RIVER IN SCOTLAND And
NOT GRAIN FIELD.

BURNS MEANT RIVER IN SCOTLAND And
NOT A GRAIN FIELD.
The Atlanta Journal has received the fol-
lowing inquiry:
Did Burns mean river called Rye or a
field OF the grain of that name when he wrote
his song of Coming Thro' the Rye?"
Burns found this old song, replies the
Journal, as he did the song of 'Auld Lang
Syne" and others, floating in the mind of
the common people of Scotland, and gave
to it the brilliance and grace of his own
genius. The poem is founded upon siu-
gular custom in connection with the cross
ing of the little river Rye. This is shall
low stream, crossed by means of stepping
stones. eff laddie met iassie coming
through the Rye" and he kissed her, it,
was plainly nobodys busines, but theirs,
and the custom permitted it.
The lassie 10 crossing was not in posi-
tion to resist such little passages of love, as
she had TO use her hands to hold up her
skirts. Hence the lines in the song:
Draggled all her pettieoatie,

has lately been explained in the columns of
the New York Tribune. 1t was composed
in 1888 by Andrew Young, a man now
eighty years of age, lover both of music
aud of children. The tune is an old Indian
air, whose melody struck Mr.. Young's
musical ear and haunted him until he was
able to write out suitable words for an &C.
compartment. He sang the hymn in the
presence of an intimate friend, who was
publisher. and it got into print at ouce and
has been translated into nineteen different
languages. 1t is said that Thackeray once
burst into tears on hearing it sung in the
sluns of London by crowd of poor, rag
ged children sitting on the pavement. The
contrast between their squalid surround
ings and the ideas suggested by the words
of the hymn was too much for his tender
heart,

THE consolidation Of the East Helena
and Great Falls smelling works under
the control Of one corporation, which
also controls the Chicago refining works,
and the satisfactory arrangement OF
freight rates on ores with both the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
railroad companies, is an event of the
greatest Importance to the mining
interests of Montana. The new corpo-
ration, which is to be known as the
Union Smelling and Refining company,
is backed by abundant capital, and will
at once take rank with the foremost in
situations of the kind in the country.
The lead miners, who have hitherto
been at the mercy Of the white lead
trust, which is interested in keeping
down the price of ores, will find the new
company, whose members are all owners
of mines, steady buyers of their product
at remunerative prices. To Helena the
operation of the smelter here on a larger
scale than ever before means new life
and activity, and to the northwest gen.
orally the new arrangement means the
preservation and fostering Of one Of the
greatest Of it's industries.

sidiary crops. That production can
always be kept ahead Of population the
writer believes his figures have demon
strated, and he closes with this practical
suggestion to his American public:
Suppose that instead Of building at the
Chicago exhibition an Eiffel tower a
thousand feet high, q number OF intelli-
GENT men should cover with glass
houses, say. hundred acres, or more.
Suppose they devote forty acres to art
/ mean to flowers and to tropical vege-
tation-and the remaining sixty acres to
the plainest vegetables and fruits, such
as will be consumed by the ton during
the exhibition. It will not cost one
tenth part Of what the tower would cost,
but it is sure to repay the expense. And
what is infinitely more important-it
will make a complete revolution in the
ideas Of mankind as to what the soil is,
and how it must be treated"

PROT. GOODWIN SMITH IN recent
keen and logical review of the theories
of Bellamy and his predecessors and fol-
lowers probes to the bottom Of their
dreams of perfect human happiness and
shows they are predestined to failure be-
cause they rest on false foundations. This
is his clever statement Of the argument:
Utopists and Communists are set at work
by the belief that equal Justice il the natur-
al law of the world, and that nothing keeps
Ms out of it but the barrier Of artificial ar
engagements set up by the power, and in the
interest, of class. Break down that bar
rier of revolutionary legislation and the
kingdom of equal justice, they think, will
come. Would that it were 90! Who would
be SO selfish and so ignorant of the deepest
source of happiness as not to vote for the
change, whatever his wealth or his place on
the social coach might be? Unhappily,
neither equal justice nor perfection of any
kind is the law Of the world, as the world is
at present, toward whatever goal We may
be moving. Health, strength, beauty, in
tellect. offspring, length of days are distrib-
uted with no more regard for Justice than
are the powers of making and saving
wealth. One man is born in an age of bar
barism, another in an age of civilization.
No Justice can be done to the myriads who
have suffered and died. Equal justice is
far indeed from being the law of the ami
NAL kingdom. Why is one animal the
beast of prey, another the victim2 Why
does an elephant live for two centuries and
an ephemeral insect for few hours2 If
you come to that, why should one sentient
creature be worm and another mani In
earth and skies, in the whole universe, &c
far as our ken reaches, imperfection reigns
The man who in Looking Backward
wakes from magnetic slumber to lind thu
lots of all men made just and equal, nigh
almost as we'll have awakened to find al
human frames made perfect, disease ans
accident banished, the animals all in
state like that of Eden. the Arctic region
bearing harvests and Sahara moistenet
with fertilizing rain, the moon provided
with an atmosphere, and the solar system
which at present is 80 full OF gaps an

imperfect organism; you may help an
modify its growth, but you cannot trans
form it by revolutionary violence, and
you try to do this the result will only
