Beyond the purple, hazy trees
OF summers utmost boundaries;
Beyond the sands, beyond the seas,
Beyond the range Of eyes like these,
And only In The reach OF the
Enroptured gaze OF memory,
There lies the land long lost 10 me,
The land Of Used-to-Be.
A land enchanted, such as swung
In golden seas when sirens clung
Along their dripping Drinks, and sung
To Jason in that mystic tongue,
That dazed meu with its melody;
o, such land, with such sea,
kissing its shores eternally,
Is the fair Used-to-Be.
A land where music ever girds
The air with bells Of singing birds,
And sows all sounds with such sweet words
That even In the lowing herds
A meaning lives so sweet to me
Lost laughter nipples limpidly
From lips brimmed DER with all the glee
OF rare old Used-to-be.
o land Of love and dreamy thoughts,
And shining fields aud shady spots,
OF coolest, greenest, grassy plots
Embossed with wild forget-me-nots,
And al the blooms that cunniDgly
LIT their sweet faces up % me
Out Of the past kiss In thee
The lips Of Used-to-be.
love ye all, and with wet eyes
Turned glimmeringly on the skies,
My blessings like your perfumes rise,
Till DER my soul silence lies,
Sweeter than any song to me,
Sweeter than amp melody
Or its sweet echo, yea, all three.
My dreams OF Used-to-Be.

There is a large and growing mi.
nority in the Protestant Episcopal
church that does not like the name
by which that church has been
known for more than q century. In
The general convention now in ses-
sion in Baltimore, and engaged in
revising the book of common pray
er, motion was made the other
day TO omit the word protestant
Episcopal" from the title page OF
the book, and was lost by only three
votes. When the same proposition
first came up in the general conven-
ton, twelve or fifteen years ago,
there were but three votes in its ia
vor. 1t begins to look rs though,
in the near future, that church will
endeavor to be known as 1.-THE
Church of America, as its mother
across the water has for generations
has been known as 1.-THE Church OF
England. "-Picayune.

TAILHoLT, Miss, Oct. IL, 1892.
Mr.. Editor:
On last Saturday, the 18th inst,
it was my good fortune to attend a
club meeting of the "Brandywine
Club" at Beech Grove. The great
apostle Of the Third party for this
county made one Of his best speech
es, such a one as only himself can
make.
The impression was all that could
be desired. After the speech there
was only one lonely voter left TO
vote for Cleveland. The crowd was
a very large one. Many ladies and
young men took in the speech
as we do water afte- a long drouth;
it will germinate and do much good
to the great farmer party.
The ladies spread on excellent
dinner. Among those making this
liberal and excellent contribution, /
may mention Mrs. Jones of Tillman,
MISS Lizzie Wells, Mrs. Seab Jones,
Mrs. Sac Fyfe, Mrs. Young, Mrs.
Robt. Fyfe, Mrs. Henry Jordan.
A more orderly five or six hun
dred people never assembled in
Brandywine nor around the Pres
byterian church in your own lovely
sweet Auburn. We made a great
mistake that we did not nominate
Judge Berry for congress in place
Of DR.. Robinson. He can spin po-
litical thread in larger volumes
than the last named gentleman and
make better yarn.

Let us hope that poesy is one OF
the indestructible elements, sor
without il the world would become
only a gigantic factory. There is
need Of poets in this workaday
sphere, to preserve the balance Of
power. Poetry, like prayer, lifts
the spirit for a season above the
materialisms of earth; refreshing
and purifying, and renewing the
courage that Is needed in mans life
of frustrated endeavor. "Science
advances, old knowledge becomes
ignorance it is poetry that does
not die" says one who knows.
There is no delight comparable to
that which ii can bestow TO those
who love it, it yields thrilling
pleasure, like music grown articu-
Iate.-Times-D Democrat.

The soft snow whirls like a ring-dove's feather
That Is tossed and blown by the breath oi
May
An icy hand holds the brook In iether,
The sad wind dirges the passing day
But yon, love, and 4, love, happy together
Laugh though the skies be gray.
Mirth and Joy are the draughts we mingle,
And pledge King Winter lusty reign
We pile the logs ON the roaring ingle,
We tune the lutte 20 a lovers strain,
And marry song 10 the strings that tingle
With never a note Of pain.
They say that May Is the month Tor mating,
When the leaves break bud aud the s0ngsters

For the pied-green meads and the archine

But there's life and love IN these airs elating,
And this is tie time for two

Let it be remembered that on the
11th Of January, 1886, Gen. Weaver
introduced q bill in congress for the
payment to pensioners Of the civil
war the difference between the war
time value Of gold and that of green
backs in which they were then paid.
This bill carried an appropriation Of
$500, 900, 900.
As it failed to pass, Gen. Weaver
introduced it again in 1888, thus
showing his fixed purpose to carry
the pension robbery to the most out
rageous lengths.
How do the taxpayers like this
episode in the "reform candidate's'
career? Are they anxious to enjoy
further privileges in the way of con-
tributing to the pension fund ? II

vote for.

Wayne McVeagh, ex-member of
Garfield's cabinet, and a recent con-
vert to Democracy, made a power
ful speech iuihe Philadelphia Acad-
emy of Music Saturday night, under
the auspices Of the Young Mems
Democratic Association. The great
room was crowded and the audience
received with wild enthusiasm Mr..
McVeagh's arraignment Of the Re-
publican party. The speakers un-
questionable patriotism and honesty
OF purpose added tenfold weight 10
his sharp philippe. He did not
confne himself to generalities, but
with admirable courage attacked
those twin curses than Republican
ism has fastened upon the country
the Mckinley tariff and the pen
sion robbery. A few extracts will
show the temper of his speech
"Mr. McVeagh said that he had
watched with pain the steady
growth of the corrupt use of money
in politics. He had hoped the Re-
publican party would turn its face
against congressional bountles and
diminish that aSful traffic in votes.
His hopes had been disappointed,
and he was convinced that unless
the Republican party was checked
il would make the poor poorer, and
the rich richer, more corrupt and
selfish, and less patriotic. lie de-
manded that the rich should not de-
stroy the sources Of national life.
There is too much truth in the ru-
mors that the election Of 1888 had
been bought. A prominent Repub-
lican manufacturer had said: 'The
Mckinley bin is ours We bought
it.n

"He did not see how any man in
his senses thought it wise 10 inflict
upon the poor the unlawful burdens.
of the Mckinley bill, or to debauch
voters by offering them pensions, or
to impoverish the taxpayers TO buy
vast masses Of silver for which there
was no use, or to insult q small,
weak sister republic like Chilli by
sending such a diplomat as Patrick
Egan, or to threaten her with war
without waiting to translate her
apology for the wrong done.
X X X \ X x
"What was true Of the Mckinley
bill and the great group Of monopo-
lies which were nourished by ii was
true of reckless pension legislation.
"The wickedness of such legisla-
tion was more apparent when il was
known that every dollar voted to
pensions involved a distinct dininu-
ton Of The wages of labor. Elo-
quent millionaires spoke glibly Of
$50, ,000,000 voted for pensions,
forgetting the vast sum came almost
entirely from the earnings Of toll
ers.
1.-THE speaker did not object TO
Just pensions. An eminent divine
had said that "every skulking camp
follower, dcserter and fraudulent
claimant had The efFrontery to de-
mand his bribe If his vote shall be-
come a commodity"
"What infinite dishonor such
names brought 10 n pension roll,
dedicated to the heroes who vent
to the front"
When men Of Nr. McVeagh's
character and influence Dare 10 de-
sert the party of their early love
and TO tell the truth about its deg
radiation, there is hope Of better
things ahead. There is hope that
that party will be driven from pow
er at the coming election, and the
long record of its crimes brought 10
an end.

In Madison county on the 18th,
meeting was called at Long Pine
church for the purpose Of organizing
a third party club. After several
speeches, those present were invited
to enroll themselves on the third par

some Democrats in the crowd
proposed that Democratic club be
organized, whereupon sixty voters
walked up and signed their names.
Only six Populists were present, in
cluding the three speakers, though

How RlOOd Was Secured.

An anecdote is going the rounds con-
corning the. manner in which a well
known leading actor supplied the acct
dental absence of a necessary item OF
makeup" He was playing Macbeth,
and when he came to the murder scene
he asked in vain for the blood with
which he had intended to imbrue his
hands. After abusing the property man
roundly for his neglect, the actor, struck
with happy thought, suddenly hit that
functionary on the nose, SO that good
supply of crimson fluid was obtained,
and in this the actor bathed his palms.
It is said that after the performance
there was realistic" conflict between
the "pro." and the property man in
which more "claret" was tapped
this time not for stage purposes.-Lon-

The Negroes HumOr.

Among the old time negroes in middle
Georgia was much of a humOr very in
teresting. Their speech, by constant
contact with the white mans, which it
sought to initiate, had curtness and
vivacity never heard on large seaboard
and river plantations. In the Gghtness
of the negro's heart, with an magma
ton that never sought to be curbed, his
words and his department often had a
fun as racy as any lover of that article
reasonably could wish to see. Even his
complainings, oftener' than otherwise,
were put forth with a resentment SO
peculiar as to provoke as well laughter
as sympathy. Witness the following
anecdote of the return to his old master,
not very long ago, of one of his former
slaves after having served another per-
son for year:
"Why, Jim, how happens it that you
quit Perkins, asked the gentleman.
"Well, now, Marse Jack, gwine up
man all las year. and l wnck hard, en- l
make him good crop. Well. now, de

raised by what had just occurred to him
as being good practical joke.-Colonel

Salvation Army Shelters in London

The Salvation Army shelters make no
claim to anything beyond decent clean
illness and comfort. Outside, the street
lamps burn dimly through the fog. It
is bright and light within. Outside, the
wind cuts pitilessly through the thin
garments. The Shelter is always warm.
Outside, the clothing bears too often the
mark of the gutter mud. 1t is always
possible to "wash and be clean within,
for hot water and soap and towels are
for use of the inmates without extra
charge.
The women desiring lodgings may
come in as early in the afternoon as
they will. Many do come early and sit
about and mend their tatters and gossip
a bit, taking their bowl of soup or mug
of cocoa with as much true neighborG-
ness as enters in other hospitable quar-
tiers into the aesthetics of afternoon tea.
Rarely is there heard, either in the
Women's or Mems Shelter, the sound of
quarrels or ribald talk. Those in charge
report but little difficulty in governing
an element that in the streets and alleys
would be almost beyond control.
The warm room. the comfortable meal,
the sense of shelter and respite froI,
wandering, all have their quieting
influence. And when we add that every
evening the Shelters are made the
centers Of an active religious meeting,
we realize that the inmates are not left
to the depression Or the excitement OF
their own discouraged houghts.-Mary
Lowe Dickinson in Harper's Bazaar

A Warning as to Flower Beds.

Against one thing let me warn the
reader, and that is the indiscriminate
use of formal foliage or flower beds OH
most lawns. They are apt to lend gar
ish and vulgar air to the place. Close
to the house you may sometimes use one
or two of these beds, but their bright
red and yellow colors should be set q
little on one side and not allowed to
glare at one too much. respect the
universal delight in rich color, but all
formal patches of color should be used
carefully and in proper relations to the
whole picture. Samuel Parsons, Jr., in

The American Apple in Europe.

Apples form considerable part of our
exports to Europe. They command high
er prices, proportionately, than any other
American fruit. Those which can be
bought here for ten dollars barrel sell
for twenty-five dollars on the other side.
A year ago Prince Bismarck paid thirty
dollars for barrel of Newtown pippins
which would have sold here for fourteen
dollars. Europeans acknowledge thas
in apples and several other things the
United States cannot be equaled.-New
