THE LULLABY.

He was rollicking baby boy, q little storm Of
laughter, + "
And he died the house with babb.e from the
cellar to tho rafter,
Tipsy with fun and mad with mirth, q whirl of
rush and rattle,
music march was life to him. OF dance and
song and prattle;
And his mother sang to him each night, as to
her neck he chung, ill.,.
And this the quaint, queer lullaby that his fond
mother sung: @. r -
He's plump little lump OF boy, u.s., "a. Il.
Hes fat little chunk OF man;
40 asleep, mammals chunk Of baby,
Go asleep, mammals baby boy.
But as the hateful years rolled on these feet were
swift to wander.
Those baby feet, beyond the feds. beyond the
mountains yOnder; &
And driven far and far away by fats's resistlcss
forces
Full often did those hayward feet stray in for
hidden courses;
But through the revel-rush Of life, above the
clamorOus din,
That baby song his mother sung, unbidden,
would steal in: -
He's plump little lump. Of boy.
He's tat little chunk OF man; =
60 asleep, mammals chunk Of baby,
60 asleep, mammals little boy.
n Through wild and dizzy mazes through chasms
dark with danger,
Pressed on the Grant footsteps OF this worn
and reckless ranger;
Far from the placid wales of youth, Of sunrise
hope and gladness, 49,"
Timed to the drunken music OF the ntful march
OF madness;
And still he heard his mother sing, what eer the
way he trod,
Through primrose Wales or desert paths
scorched by the wrath Of God:
He's plump little lump Of q boy,
He's a fat little chunk of 4 man:
Go asleep, mammals chunk OF q baby,
Go asleep, mamma's baby boy.
His mother broke with grieving that her only
boy should perish,
But nurscd the love ineffable that only mothers
cherish;
But weary years Of grievng brought their heri
tage of madness.
Then tho poor, gray crazy mother felt again
the old-time gladness;
For in her maddened thought she claspcd her
baby to her breast,
And with the old-time lullaby she soo:hed him
to his rest:
He's plump little lump Of q boy,
He's q fat little chunk Of man;
Go asleep mammals chunk OF baby,
Go asleep, mammals baby boy.
And then her wandering boy came home, te
youthful scenes returning,
nObler purpose in his soul, his hayward fol
lies spurning;
She knew him not, and needed not his peniten1
tears and pleading,
For madness is both stern and deaf and hears
no intercedtng;
The strong man bowed before her as she SANG
her crazy joy,
And he said: i've lost my mother, but my
mothers found her boy"
He's plump little lump Of = boy,
He's Tot little chunk of man;
Go asleep, mammals chunk of baby,
Go asleep, mammals baby boy

The Great Eastern Saved BY the Inge-
nuity Of an American Engineer.
The Great Eastern, the largest steam
er ever built was launchedJ January 81,
1859. Almost from the first the expcr-
ienceof this ocean leviathan was
unfortunate. Not long after being
placed in commission the vessel started
on trip from Liverpool to New York.
When but two days ont she was met by
q brisk gale, which speedily developed
into q hurricane Of destructive violence.
The side paddles were bent out of posi-
ton and made useless, the top of the
rudder post was smashed and the help
less ship was soon tossing and rolling
about In the most alarming manner:
The waves were constantly washing
over the decks and six of the boats were
swept away, while the others stove in:
The interior of the ship presented a
scene of the utmost confusion. Crock
cry and culinary utensils went crashing
about in all directions, chairs and ia
bles were broken, and mirrors and
| chandeliers were shattered into frag-
ments The officers of the ship were at
q loss what to do, and probably the
Great Eastern would have gone to the
bottom had not passenger H. F..
Towle, of Boston, who was a civil en-
gineer, suggested and carried out plan
for controlling the rudder by means of
a large chain cable. After an immense
amount of labor every difficulty was
overcome and on the second day after
the hurricane began the. vessel again
answered her helm and proceeded on
her course. The passengers held meet

to Mr.. Towle and made him present

Against white 4 Norton.

Memphis Commercisl.l
In your issue Of September II notice
Of bill is taken filed in the Chancery
Court by me against White & Norton,
brokers Of this city. l desire to say
that this bill was filed against these
gentlemen by me because Of the follow
Ing facts, as I am informed:
On the 8th day Of May, 1891, my hus-
band sent an order to White & Norton
in the following language: buy for
my account 500 barrels OF mess pork,
price not to exceed 8l2 05 per barrel. "
On the same day he lmy husband)
wrote letter to these gentlemen con-
firming this order, Under this only
they purchased for his account 1880
barrels Of pork and advised him Of the
fact. He, however, previously pur-
chased through them a lot of corn.
Answered their dispatch as follows:
''Hold my corn and 500 barrels Of pork.
Dooas you please with the excess OF
pork" In violation Of his instructions
they sold his corn at a loss to him of
81, ,588 Is according to their statement,
and the whole 1900 barrels of bork
they sold at a loss Of 1862 50, charg-
ing him with the loss entire, amount
ing to $2,848 Is. At this time he had to
his credit with these gentlemen some-
thing over 5000 in cash. Out Of this
money they helped themselves, and
when he called on them for settle
ment they informed him that their
books were closed.
Being advised that my husbands
right 10 bring this suit under the laws
Of Tennessee had expired by the lapse
Of time, and that had a right to bring
it for my use, I did SO. The evidence
when taken, will disclose the facts and
fully Justify this action.

DON'T FIGHT THE RAILROADS.

In Q trenchent letter to the Atlanta
C0nststution Ge0rgia's queer genius and
popular evangelist, Rev. Sam P, Jones,
protests against the universal outcry
against railroad and other corporate
consolidation. In reference to the op.
position to railroad consolidation he
says:
The Vanderbilt and Pennsylvania Railroads $
over almost half the Unitad States, give The
best equipped lines, the fastest trains, the
| most reasonable rates Of any railroads in the
world. What the South needs Is not the dis
yOf her corporations, but such friendly con-
slderation and wise legislation as Wilt con-
serve their interests and develope their re-
sources until the Southern States shall have
sylvania, Ohio and Illinois.

to hear wisely, but surely have had oppor,;
and from Canada to the Cult am candid
when say that this warfare on our rail-
roads and corporations has done more harm
than !na, J, all other things combined, for when
curities to the point where our bankers can
not hypothecate them in New York to get
money to move our cotton crop, then it's time
to call halt; Central Railroad stock 100 one

warfare on combines.
The greatest prosperity have seen In
America Is along the line OF the prosperous
and well-managed railroads. The two are
interdependent. II you will show me one
prospering without the other, then you will
show me sight have not looked upon in
my perigrinations. | know 1t is unwise to
push this battle further AGAINST railroads.
and II those in authority shall think and act
differently. time can and will demonstrate Q
who was wise and who was foolish.
Truth and common sense are COM
bined in these paragraphs. Iowa has
had an experience in making war upon
the railroads within her borders that
should serve as a perpetual warning to
all other agricultural States. Her
farmers may repeal all the restrictive
laws they passed to the detriment Of
their railroads, but it will be long
time before Iowa RECEIVERS from the in
juries they inflicted. What Iowa did
the Farmers Alliance is trying to per-
suade other Legislatures to do. 1t is
to be hoped that "a sober second
thought" will prevail, and that no fur
ther attempts will be made to push
this battle against railroads, which
are now, as they have been for 25 years
the chief developers Of the south.-Bal-
