IN THE WINTERWOODS.

High-flung at noon, in chill and sombre
state,
The naked woods uplift their mighty arms,
Silent and grim, to meet the ravening hate
With which the winter scOurges wastes and
farms,
And chills and nips and blows, insatiate
High-hung and grey, athwart the frozen
lands,
Wind-caverned, stark, the winter forest
stands.
Here have wandered all frosted day,
In fairy dream of sheeted ice and snow
Great rafte:ed branches stretching, mOssed
and grey,
Ice hidden pools and drifted SHOWS below
With fOrmless winds that creep from far
away,
Steal in and moan across the fading light
While with great stride glOOmS In the
lonely night.
The lofty naples shake their tops and
sigh.
The snow-mossed beeches stir their boards
OF leaves,
Still clinging from the autumn long gone
And ali ", the woodland dark the night re-
ccives,
Into its snowy-eaverned sanctity
The shadows darken, lower slants the sun.
Bright beams the moon when scarce the
With one red CLEAN the sun has vanished
down,
Over the icy forests bearded rim.
Low Groom the winds, blacker the shadows
frOwn.
Across the eerie twilight, far and dim,
Comes faint gleam from out the twink
ling town.
Steals in the night, the grey wood bends
and sighS,
Pale glints the moon in frosty reveries.
Keen grows the air from frosts that creep
Nights icy hosts that all the grey woods
Far overhead the stars grow sharp and
clear.
Ice-rending sounds the tingling silence fill
From the far river cold in marshes drear.
Across white floors shadowy phantom
flows
From wind-swayed boughs and smoke of
drifting SHOWS.
Then back turn me homeward, wading
In eddied hollows, skirting icy pools
Dreaming red hearthlogs through the
frosty riffs,
While DER my path the moon throws ICY
gules.
Where overhead the forests gloom uplits
Its shadOwy bars againts the glinting
light
The awful silence of the arctic night

DOES THIS STRIKE YOU2

In an exchange we find the vivid
picture of many a man who is regard
ed as being in good and regular stand
ing in the church: If he would talk
with his own heart the conversation
would be something like this: If other
members of the church gave no more
to support the cause of Christ, in pro-
portion to their ability, than | do,
most of the churches in the country
would 60 down. 1fmy brethren gave
no more to support the missionary
work of the church than l dc, the
church would have to recall every one
of its home and foreign missionaries.
If every other member of the congre-
cation neglected the ordinances of
religion as much as l do, there would
be many Sunday that the preacher
would not have single hearer there
would not be prayer-meeting in all
the land; every closet of prayer would
be filled with cobwebs, and every
family altar would be moss grown"

THE DEMAND FOR COTTON
GOODS.
TAtlanta COnstitutiOn.l


If there was any good reason for
the low price Of cotton, manufactured
prints would decline in value.
But, while cotton is low, prints re-
main at the same price. The eastern
spinners are making money. Ac-
cording to the Memphis Appeal
AvaLanee, stocks of print cloth now on
hand at Fall River are only nominal,
being equal to three days production.
One of the largest houses in Memphis
is unable to get an order for 100 cases
filled at once, owing to the scarcity of
manufactured goods, and it has re-
ceived notice that shipments of fifteen
case lots will be made until the order
is filled. The ARbeaIAvaIanehe says !:
1t has also been published that the
price of mill stocks in the east has re-
Gently advanced, which confirms the
statement of the profits which mills are
making due to the depressed value of the
raw product. There is no cheapening in
price to the planter for the goods which
he must purchase for his family to be
Il
price 20 per cent lower than in previous
years for the very cotton which is bought
at his gin house, forwarded to eastern
spinners, there manufactured and sold
by agents to merchants, who in turn
supply him with the very article which
he has raised 'down on the farm
Could there be a more eloquent appeal
made in hehalf of manufacturers than in
the few incidents related above? Or is
there any further proof needed to estab-
llsh the falsity of the idea that values of
commodities are fixed by the inexorable
laws of supply and demand?
Therefore, must not there be truth in
the assertion that a conspiracy has been
formed which has for its object the de-
preston of values by bearish circulars
and excessive estimates OF the yield, until
the crop has left plantations and is held
by spectators who will reap in full the
paOfits of an advance in the price of the
staple?
Undoubtedly, when the South man
ufactures the finer grades of cotton
goods, and her mills in sight of the
cotton fields begin to compete vigor-
ously with the outside world, our Cir
will be vastly improved.
The present state of affairs would seem
to indicate widespread and profita-
BILE demand for cotton goods, and
their prices should favorably affect the
sale of the raw material.

where nothing, not even COW peas,
should disturb the permanent pastur-
age, even if nothing better is growing
thereon than Broom Sedge. And good
farmers know why without my stating
the reason.
The TACT is, the Southern farmer is
cultiva,ing attempting, rather) too
much surface, and nature, when left
undisturbed, is coming to his rescue in
Bermuda, Lespideza, Johnson grass,
and even Broom Sedge, that are taking
possession Of the crop-worn lands, fur
nishing permanent pasturage and en-
ablng the owners to utilize them with
out cost in greatly increasing the num-
bers of and profits from their herds,
putting more money into their pock-
cts, besides providing them more
sumptuous fare and better living than
when such fields are in cultivation.
The trouble with the learned Pro-
fessor, when he wrote the paper for the
Southern Planter, was that his latest
pea hobby had gotten the better of his
earlier grass hobby, and the influence
of hobbies is to cause those who enter
tain and cherish them to become lop-
sided-for a ruling, predominating
idea warps and distorts the judgment
for time at least, and afflicts its pos
SCISSOR with a treacherous memory that
makes him vascillating. Hence the
Professors trouble.
We ought to expect better Of the
teachers in our agricultural colleges
than that they should ever be afflicted
with hobbies, but when such is the
case, most assuredly they ought never
to attempt to teach them, but should
strive to cultivate when lacking mems

outlaws were captured with part of

at the Santa Fe crossing about a mile
east of Augusta two masked men
mounted the locomotive from either

man with guns ordered them to stop the
train. The train came to standstill and
two members of the robbers gang who
were in hiding uncoupled the express

the car a mile distant from the train.
While two of the highwaymen
watched the locomotive crew the 9TH

compelled Messenger Shift to open
the safe, and the robbers ransacked
everything, getting between fifteen and
twenty packages of money.
The robbery was committed by four
farmers living in the vicinity of Doug

notified, and he soon had Fred Livings-
