THE BALL
They were sound asleep in rows and rings.

They were sound asleep in rows and rings,
All quiet as quiet could be;
But Susie said: You queer little things.
You'll find your feet and youIl find you
wings
Tonight when I set you free"
Then she opened the door Of an airy hall,
And made them ready to 60 to the ball.
They had worn their ilks out long ago
When the summer days were bright,
But now, as they danced in the freight glow,
Like drops of rain that are chang ed to snow,
They burst into dazzling white:
And they spread their robes till they filed the
hall,
"Oh, seer said she, what a lovely ban!'
They hoped so high and they tripped so true,
In the freight steady and clear,
Almost like music it seemed to Sue;
And think it's a pity, she cried, don't you.
That they can't possibly hear:
You know there is only one ear for them all.
And that they lost when they came to the ball.
The pattering ended. the dance was done.
And the hall was emptied. too;
But that was not the end of the fun,
For Susie invited them every one
To join a candy-stew.
How could they refuse when she pressed them
TO stay In her popcorn ball?

Precious Seed.

There are many seeds which are precious
on account of the beauty and value OF
their products, but they are entirely use
less In many climates and regions of coun.
try. They refuse to mature. The seasons
are too short, the climate too uufavorsble.
There is one kind of seed which not only
produces good fruit, but will grow any
where. The story is told of a Chinese
emperor whose title to fame was not his
birth, or blood, or the victories he wrought,
out because ne took the trouble to select
an early ripe head of wheat, and, Guilt
waiting it, produced seed that could mature
In the northern provinces of his empire,
and give bread to many hungry people.
The good seed, the Word of God. has
been so acclimated that IN every land and
on every shore it comes to maturity and
brings forth precious fruit wherever it
grows. From Greenland's lev mountains
to midas coral strand, it is the same
precious seed: Is frui, is unto holiness
its end everlasting life. The word of
G"d's grace, coming to the hearts of men.
terminates, buds, blossoms, and fills the
face of the world with fruit, Frightening
everything by its presence, making glad
the hearts that are wesried and worn and
dlsconsolate. On every shore this fruit is

or, in other words, that it must be abol-

?. That there should be no banks of issue.
but that the government should issue the
money.
These two propositions being without
controversy, l would state that it naturally
follows that there must be some other
banking system established as substitute
for the national bank, through which the
government can throw her money into cir
culation. Now, here is my plan:
l would have the government create or
make all the money of the country with the
free and unlimited coinage of silver. The
paper money should be treasury notes is
sued by the government receivable for all
government dues, and q full legal tender

the minds of the people, and the contest
will be made on both in 1892, and if the
Democratic party is true to its history and

wisely frank and honest with them, it will
sweep the country. Very respectfully,
