A PLANTATION LOVE SONG.

An my Rose amt red,
An my Rose don't grow

But she lives in de cabin
Whar de roses twines,

An de red leaves fall,
An de white rose sheds,
Tell dey kiver all de groun
Whar my brown Rose treads-

An de bumblebee, too,
An de hummin bird huns
All de long day tru.
An dey sip at de white,

A SUCCESSFUL FARMER.

he Has Reen Filling the Soil Of Carroll
for twenty Years
CARRoLLToN, GA, Feb 27.-The MORN
ING News correspondent had an interview
with one Of CAROLS best farmers to-day.
This farmers name is r. L. Griffin, who
runs an S-horse farm three miles south Of
Carrollton. Mr.. Griffin has been filling the
soil Just twenty years, and has accumu-
lated much property in that time. Mr..
Griffin said he has just bought his first mule
in twenty years to-day. Instead Of buying
mules, and observation-disclosures OF the far
mers do. Mr.. Griffin has sold $4,000 worth
of home-raised mules IL this time. and has
five or six good ones on hand, which he uses
on his farm. Mr.. Griffin has one mare
which he has owned seven years, and he
has sold 500 worth of her colts during these
seven years and has two fine mules worth
$3.50 each yet MIR. Griffin says he always
plants enough corn, wheat, oats and such
things for his own home use, and then his
surplus crop is cotton. He says there is no
money for a farmer when he buys either
corn, hay or oats and raises cotton to pay
for them. Mr.. Grifiin's plan is worthy Of
emulation, and every farmer who follows it
succeeds.

CONDITIONS OF TIE RAILROAD :.
The Cause as Seen By a Railroad
Man.

The Cause as Seen By a Railroad
Man.
LYONS, Ca, Feb. 25.--Editor Morning
Netos: wish to make a few remarks upon
the present condition Of the railroads in the
state. read very carefully an editorial in
your paper few days ago on the subject,
every word of which fully indorse. The
railroads in Georgia and almost every
other southern state are in
pitiable condition. Most Of them
are in the hands of receivers, and in many
instances unable TO pay their employees. A
few years ago they were making money
projecting new lines and bringing immense
capital to the country. Now most OF those
projected have been abandoned. The
roads used TO pay their employees
much better wages than they do now and
did not work them half so hard A strike
was thing that was known only as it was
read of in newspapers. To-day men are
worked on small salaries night and day,
strikes are all the talk, and still the roads
are unable 20 make both ends meet. There
must surely be some cause that has brought
about this state of affairs, and / am com
PEELED TO conclude that it il nothing else but
our arbitrary railroad commission A rail-
road commission may be a good thing 10 its
place, but have very serious doubts il its
place is In the state of GeorRia, for the
present at least, and If it is l am
satisfied that the fixing Of tariff rate
for the roads TO be governed by should be
out Of its jurisdiction. The traffic rates are
something that time, the amount Of business
done, and the general development of the
country would settle much better than the
commission ever can do it. Il takes u large
corps OF the brRiniest men that we
have TO run one railroad successfully, and it
looks very strange that the most vital in
terests Of all the roads in the state should be
placed in the hands of three men, and ten
chances to one neither of them knows
enough about railroading to make a division
superintendent. l do not think that
any one will dispute it when say that rail.
roads do more than any other agency in
spreading enlightenment, wealth education.
refinement and everything else Of which a
growing country should be proud. Then
why should the people who are benefited
by them continue, through the legislature,
to make laws that are bound TO bankrupt
them.
very often hear il asserted that il it was
not for the commission the excessive
charges that would be made by the roads
would be to the direct injury of the farmer.
The farmer is made the hobby in every
question where a vote is concerned

glory just jumps on the farmer and he gifts

peeping from the founces and faces of her wide skirts, wore the clocled stock ings and ribbon-crossed slippers of long ago. There she stood before them all, yet never noticing them, and then she began to dance in stately measure a minuet, as if some unseen cavalier were treading the meature with her, and all the time that cold wind was blowing and a strange, quaint melody was being played by invisible hands, aside from which there was not as much noise as if hummingbird had fut- tered its wings.
 Then somebody screamed or tainted, and in a moment the music ceased; the dancer was gone. Somebody lighted all the gas burners, and there was the portrait just as it had already been, and when the four young people, hear ing the hubbub in the library, came rushing in they were overwhelmed by what they missed, nor dared they cast discredit on the evidence of their elders.
 But youth throws off impressions easily, and Helen and Walter and their friends made such charming jest and gayety out of it that with the help of a warm supper the elders were finally in- duced to throw off the mystery and solemnity of the astral dance, and looked upon it as a mirage, something quite explainable by certain laws of hu- man occult development Helen even declared, saucily, that her great-grand- mother must have been giddy girl to come back for brief visit to earth just to dance that tiresome old minuet, and then she looked at Walter and blushed vividly.
 You see, you dear old stupids, you had talked ghosts until you were quite ready to see one in every corner. If great-grandmamma did appear, then. it was to signify that she was quite willing that l should step into her shoes"
 Il assure you that no power on earth would persuade me to ever allow her clothes to be disturbed in my lifetime" said Mrs. King with emphasis Helen looked at Walter, and her pret- ty mouth made distinct shaping of the letters ''P-h-e-w"
 Walter looked at Helen and tele- graphed the word back again. But none of those worldly-wise people ever came near suspeeting what might have been the real truth, not even when they saw Walters auto-harp, the most dreary musical instrument that was ever con ceived, lying on the hall sofa the next day, or when they alluded, as they oft en did, to Helens wonderful resem- biance to her great-grandmother's por- trait.-Detroit Free Press.

"FOR LOVES SWEET SAKE"

Because you have no golden hoard.
 Or broad aud fertile lands to show, Or wealth in glittering caskets stored.
 You fear to whisper-what know: You think 'twould be grievous wrong Me from my smoother paths to take, Nor understand how brave and strong My heart could be for Loves sweet sake. Because you are man. you seek
 To hide the tender pain you feel; And I, a woman, should not speak
 Ore word your secret wound to heal Yet knowing well that each for each
 Life's fullest harmonies could wake. I fain would place within your reach
 Tha. gift of Love for Loves sweet sake Because the ways you tread are rough
 Shall we two always stand apart? Nay, let me own twould be enough
 To share your veal and woe, dear heart If you must bear daily cross,
 Why. will half the burden take: And what you choose to call my loss
 Count truest gain for Loves sweet sake --E. Matheson, in Chambers JournaL

HE SURPRISED THEM.

Lover Who Watched His Sweetheart
 and Another Through the Window. Through the half drawn blinds of the open window he saw them, and in- stinctively his hand went toward the little gold circle with it's sparkling diamond that lay so close to his heart. Would he burst rudely into the room and surprise them? No. He dec ided to stihe the quickening heart beats and watch. How beautiful she looked sit ting there, robed in Grecian gown of pearl tint that swept Tn lustrous silken folds to the velvety carpeted floor.
 The rich hangings and luxu rious furnishings of the room were fitting background to her flower-like loveli- ness. One fair hand trailed over the ivory whiteness of the piano keys, while with the other she lightly caressed the dark head of her companion as it rested upon her knee. He sat near the lovelit eyes up into hers. The odorous roses on her bosom rose and fell and mingled their perfume with the sweet notes of the love song she started to trill
 The watcher at the window pressed tighter the golden circlet near his heart when he saw the fair fingers of the hand that was to wear it tangled carelessly among the sitlzen ourls of her companion. He could almost feel their warmth and delicate fragrance as they twined in and out of the dark hair, while he stood alone in the star light
 With sparkling eyes he stepped into the room. Did she scream when he en- tered the room, and did her companion shrink in his guilt?
 Why. no. She sprang up to be pressed, even tighter than the engage ment ring, to his heart, and her com panion of the dark curls bounded from the floor with glad bark of welcome to his master. while little cupid, who was passing on summer breeze, clapped shut the open blind to conceal the shower of kisses that fell alike on loving lips and dinpled chin.-N. |.

SHE REMEMBERED HIM.
He Was One of Those Who In the Past
 Had knelt at Her Feet.

A young lady entered a California street car recently, and her rich, elabo- rate toilet seemed to attract consider able attention. Drawing her skirts around her, she gazed persistently out of the window of the car.
 On the opposite side sat a neatly at tired young man with very white hands and an air generally suggestive of the clergy. He glanced at the fair vision in the corner from time to time in reproachful manner. She looked furtively at him from beneath her flashes. and with a pretty puckering or the brow seemed trying to recall where she had met him.
 That his face was familiar was evi- dent. and finally deciding that he rightfully belonged to the army of cap tives that had laid their hearts at her feet at Monterey she concluded to end his misery by recognizing him. So, turning with little start of recog- milton, their eyes met, and she bowed stif1ly.
 He seemed delighted, and changing his seat to her side. he said: You are very kind to remember me-
 70, mo-" she replied, with an air of polite reserve: '.I recall perfectly the occasion on which me met.
 A few commonplaces followed and emboldened at his success, the gentle man said gravely as he produced a card: II hope you will permit me to call upon you again.
 She glanced at the card, wave oi color swept over her face, and' the car stopping, she drew down her veil and bounced out with swiftness of a tennis ball. The address upon the card was .J. Goldsmith, chiropodist. Corns and bun;ons extracted without pain San Francisco News Letter.
