LUNGlNeS.

Ita.e tired OK whispers and long for the fun
roice instead.
The f;.li voice to strengthen and guide soul,
heart and head;
I IAN tired Of shadows that give but a promise
c. lSht;
The psrpio cleaning stretches its fingers far
down the night.
. an tired Of starlight. filling the air with q
mystical haze,
And 1 long for the noontide glare, the light. the
heat, the blaze;
I am SO tired of cropping in the valley of unrest,
And my hearts blood stan Is stagnant between
the vale and the crest.
l am tired Of ell the vain decertions of practi-
cal life,
The misunderstanding, the worry, the tur-
moil-aye, and the strife;
More than all. l am sick of self, with oil its
weak desire,
That burns in my heart like the flame Of a fu-
neral pyre.
Speak, o voice divine, and bid this curious
heart be still;
Teach it to strive no more. to be satisfied with
thy will,
For how vain is human longing when measured
by thy power!
Let contentment gid my lips and fill with
peace each lowly hour!

Persistent Misrepresentation.
North Carolinian.


North Carollnian.
There has been a persistent
effort on the part OF the lead
ers of the y party to misrep-
resent the action of the Leg
islature in regard to the ALI
ance charter. The truth ought
to be told. The only thing
the Legislature did about the
charter was to provide that
any man who had put mon
ey in the business agency
fund could Draw it out if he
desired to do so. That is all.
Mr.. VIM. A. Graham, Trus-
tee of the Fund, all the ALI
ance officers and their attOr-
neys in their speeches said
that they were willing to
this, and as a matter OF fact
they first suggested it to the,
committee that was consider
ing the repeal of the charter.
Now some of..them say that
they voted for or advocated
this under coercion; that they
were afraid if they didn't do
80, the whole charter would
he repealed; and that it was
Il wicked.:thing in the Legis-
latule to permit men to draw
their own money out 0fa con
cern theyhad helped to make.
We no not believe that any
honest man can object to the
Legislature. I 1t wasjust and
fair, and Mr.. Atwater and
every other Alliance Senator
voted for the bill as it pass
ed. Now they plead the" "ba-
by act" and tr, to work up
sympathy for themselves
because they need to raise
the cry of "Persecution" to
keep their party from going
all to pieces. The people are
not fools. They lost thou
sands OF dollars two years a.
) 20 by holding their cotton
at the behest of the x party
men that they are now told
that the democrats are ras-
Gals because the Legislature
unanimously passed a bill al
. lowing poor farmers to take
their money out Of the bust
ness agency fund if they wan
ted to do 80. That is all the
Legislature did. Is that the
real cause OF the great hue
and cry we hear? No. There
: are two reasons:
l. The x party iunta feel
! the need Of a rallying cry. Il
they can make the people be'
, lieve they are prosecuted and
| i'll tres ted, they think they
can prevent their utter rout
and annihilation which 4
sure to 1vertake them. They
see the hand writing on the
J wall, and like drowning mer
? they are grabbing at straws
2. The x party men are
mad because they cannot ust
!, the interest ON the business
agency fund to propagate
their false notions and son
tinue their deception OF th'
! people.

coanut.

Youths Companion.

Youths Companion.
A group of persons W as
one day last summer stroll
ling through the throne room
OF the palace at Versailles,
such as ia too often dupllca-
ted among Americans in Eu-
rope and at home.
A father and mother, loud
voiced and richly dressed,
somewhat pompous.in man.
ner, stood near n picture,
glancing anxiously whenever
they spoke, as if in dread OF
criticism, to ayounggirl who
held herself a little apart
from them. Herfeatures show
ed that she must be t h cir
daughter, but in other re-
spects she was as different
| from them as if she had been
born in another rank of life.
Her dress and manner were
quiet and well bred, her voice
low and clear. She spoke to
the guidein Parishian French
and was as gentle and lack
ing in self-assertion as they
were coarse and pretentious.
In a word, they had bought
for her the education and
training which they never
had had.
They followed her with fond
admiring looks mingled al
most with awe, while she dis
cussed the portraits in. tn g
galleries with a friend. The
good building contractor and
his wife had seldom heard of
these famous Bourbons and
De Medicis OF past ages with
whom she was so familiar.
She answered their questions
with cold civility, but when
it was possible, she ignored
them altogether. 1t seemed
If she would gladly have
forgotten that they were in
the gallery, or, indeed in her
life st all.
Presently she stopped be.
fore a Mondonna which has
been ascribed to several pain
ters. The girl had keen, well
trained, artistic sensi5llitIes,
and she looked with kindiing
eyes at the outline and color
Of the beautiful figure which
for three centuries has de-
! lighted the world.
And to Think" she said
| to her friend, turning away
/ with a sigh, that even the
name OF the painter is forgot

years OF his life to this pic
ture, and yet robody remem-
bers him or ls greatful"
That sort OF thing happens
; often in the world" said her
! friend, looking thoughtfully
,. at the old couple who we're
, wandering about neglected.
J They had poured out their
, money, theircares, their pray
ers and love to make this wo
man what she was, and she
was the first to ignore them,
to disown the debit
Ungratefal and unloving,
! she lacked the essential quail

r womanhood, and with allher
culture was less worthy ofre-
: spect than the parents she
