On the barn roof yellow with lichen

Like tawny leaf Is his bosom,
Like dead leaf Is bis wing;
He is glad OF the coming winter
AS the thrush Is gssd Of the sprins
The sound OF shepherds piping
Comes down from distant fold,
Like ripple OF running water,
As tuneiess, and sweet, and cold (
rhe two songs mingle together;
Like and unlike are they,
For one sounds tired and plhintive,
And one rings proud and gay.

The bird and the shepherd lad;
But the bird-voice thrills with rapture
And the human note Is sad.

Desire 10 Speculate.
This reminds me, says writer in
the New York Press, OF ar episode in
the life ofthe great merchant prince of
New York, the late A. II. Stewart. II
was during the war when gold was at
a premium and jumping about with
every war report like iumping-iaek
on the end OF a string. 1t had goneup
to such point that some people were
beginning TO wonder ii it would not
eventually bequoted in four figures.
II big G eneral was killed 1t would
Jump up ten points. II there was a.
rebel victory or rumors OF one IL
would Jump up twenty, thirty or iorty
points. II there was a lnion victory
or pospect OF peace IT would TALL IKE
a plummet. A. II. Stewart was then
in the height of his great career. and
he had never engaged IN speculation OF
any but the solid kind, known as
business,
But he got a notion that with his
long bank account and big credit he-
could take few flyers in gold and
make millions i'm them in "a hurry, in
stead of pursuing the old humdrum
course OF buying goods at low prices
and selling them Mt profit per yard.
So he went down TO Levi p. Morton,
now Vice President OF the United
States, who was leading banker IN
Wall Street, and through the firm OF
which Mr.. Morton was a member he
began to operate in gold He kept 10
up for nearly a year. In that time he
dropped into the laps OF his more
fortunate rivals in the race for gain a
cool million dollars. A million dol
lars was n vast amount OF money
even for A. r. Stewart TO lose, and IL
cooled his brain when he found by ex-
animation OF his bank accounts how
much he had lost in the whirlpool of
speculation. He Withdrew from spec
ulation as abruptly as he had entered
into il, charged his losses TO his profit
and loss account, and made this COM
ment on the subject to his most inti-
mate friend: Hilton, it's good rule
TO follow never TO depart from any
line OF business in which one Is engaged
and has followed successfully for an
other line OF which neknows nothing,
What did know about gold?"

Fully 20 per cent OF this vast invest

The secret OF the houses success is,
OF course, the rigid following OF old

The Lessons OF a Journey.

Contact with the.people, face to face,
removes many false impressions created
bv designing men, who think more of
selfish partizanisin than they do of the
country and its welfare. President Har-
rison has found this out doubtless On
his journey through the South. he
came face to face with the masses. The
turbulent, corrupt, dishonest, and vi
cious political Headers" kept in the rear,
and the result has been a warm-heal ted
reception and generous, elads ONE
greeting and better knowledge OF the
sentiment and feeling of the people.
The Presid ent has learned from what he
has heard and seen, under circumstances
which precluded discrimination, that the
partisan Democratic press OF the country
does not represent the people. He has
learned that the inscriptions, selfish.
and self-styled leaders of the Repub-
lican party do not speak the truth when
they claim to reflect the wishes OF any
portion of the conservative people of Ell
ther p lrty. But for their absolute, willful
and wicked misrepresentation OF South
ern sentiment, solely for the purpose of
getting Office, there would be a better
understanding between the Republicans
of the North and the people of the
South. They foist upon the administra-
ton and upon the people of the South
ern States in some instances the most IN
worthy applicants for office-men who
are willing to dolthe dirty work of the
besse IS and serve them in all ways, res
gardle IS of the obligations of duty and
the interests of the government.
We have no doubt the Presidents trip
throuth the South revealed feeling
and condition that opened his eyes. He
found the people loyal and friendly, re-
sponsiye to pacific advances, and sins
cere in their expressions OF devotion to
the governmf nt Had he taken the time
to look into the standing and influence,
with the better elements of the people,,
of some Of the politicians who usurp
the role of leaders in the Republican
party, he would have learned that they
are regarded with contempt and lis
trust by right thinking men OF both
parties, and that there can be no possi-
be growth Of the Republican party un>
der mere partisan workers, who are
Republicans in name for what they can
make out of it-who. have. no guiding
principle. but self, and no interests to
subserve bnt self
The President will return to his duties
in Washington a wiser man, We trust,
than when he left. He will be impressed
with the present greatness of the South
and it's wonderful possibilities, and the
magnanimous and sincere nature OF the
Southern people. He will learn that
extreme partizanisln does not represent
either the Democratic or Republican

by the lltii census In the spring OF 1881 visit
ed all the Southern iron producing regions, and
repeat now what said then, namely, that the
local need OF the South is still further diversi

develop steel manufacture to further manpu-
iation of iron and steel into machinery, the man
ufacture of furniture along the timber belt and
OF the better grades OF cotton goods in theyicin-
ity OF the cotton fields If the advance is along
these lines, the year 1900 will mark more re
markable and more satisfactory industrial de-
velopment in the Southern States than 1890.

SO far as the general arrangements Of the
newest hotel are concerned it would seem
that nothing has been left I'm provided that
could in any way contribute to the comfort
of the guests. In this regard very mate
rial agency is the teleseme, says Electricity.
This celebrated device, whica is now COM
ing into vogue in large establishments where
all manner Of calls are constantly being
made, is the invention of DR.. J. Benedict
HerZog. Each room is supplied with tele-
SEINE dial on which are printed the names Of
the various articles in daily requisition.
The list is formidable one, and can
hardly fail to evoke surprise that there are
SO many things involved in the modern idea
of hotel luxury. BY moving a crank-pfu
and pressing button anything on the face
OF the dial can be ordered, and the order is
instantly Transmitted to corresponding
dial in the office, where it receives prompt
attention. There is full complement Of
breakfast beverages and every imaginable
solid concomitant, from buttered rolls and
soft-boied eggs to chicken salad and
oysters. The requirements of luncheon and
dinner are also provided for.
All kinds of human help, from chamber
maid to policeman, are available on turn
Ing the crank, AS are also n carriage, my
wash. penny stamp, or the principal
dallles: IL Is rather suggestive that fully
one-third of the dial is devoted to drink
aoles," and of this space one-ffth is occu-
pied with various brands OF champagne.
SHch list is dangerous thing to have at
ones elbow on hot summers day, for it
comprises everything from apollinaris to a
gin fzz, and includes the insidtus sherry
cobbler. the seductive cocktail and the pa
trician Bass" The completeness OF the
telrseme arrangement is shown by a special
set of figures in the center of the dial, under
which is The injunction, Call me at the
above time, but do not disturb me TIL then !"
III there Is anything more the ordinary
hotel guest is likely to call for, the inventor
of the teleseme would doubtless be glad to
know it
