The Lily and the Poet.

A lily on the high road lay,
Beneath the fierce and scorching ray
OF midday summer sun.
1t CHANGED a poet passing by,
Upon the lily cast his eye;
His sympathy it won.
Poor little flower" he pityingly said.
s'Who left thee thus with dropping head
Beneath a burning sky?
All, me! 1t was a thoughtless deed
To cast thee forth like common weed.
To wither and to die.
away from cool and grateful shade
OF garden bed or messy glade,
Where erstwhile, thou didst bloom.
NV heart with pity bleeds for thee,
Thus treated so despitefully,
And left to such a doom.
1.-THE lily is the spotless flower,
The emblem of the priceless dover.
OF purity of heart
King Solomon, in all his power,
Was not arrayed like thee. sweet flowA.
Thou work of natures art.
ct cannot leave thee in thy need
Amidst the dust to pant and bleed.
cannot leave thee so,
Close by there lies a lovely mere,
Whose sparkling waters. bright and clear.
Ger water lilies flow.
Upon its cool, refreshing breast
I'll lay thee gently down TO rest,
And Danish all thy pain.
The water sprites will change thy shape.
And as Lily OF the Lake
Thou yet shalt bloom again."

To the Editor: II 81
Certain facts have cropped out in refer
ence to the late Democratic congressional
convention held at Fergus Falls Mimi,
that may be of interest to the voters of the
Seventh district Attorney L. B. Everdell,
of Breckenridge, Wilkin county, who has
been known as a Democrat for some years,
early last summer renowned his allegiance
to that party and joined the Republicans.
The Republicans of that county, clarifying
in the prodigaFs return, prepared the feast
by selecting the gentleman one of the dele
gates to the Wilkin county convention,
which selected delegates to the state con-
vention of the Republicans The gentleman
attended the convention and made himself
prominent in attempting to pass a resolu-
ton denouncing the strikers, and COM
mendng the course of the national admin
istration in the same matter The gentle
man has not since partaken in the caucuses
and conventions of the Democratic party
of his county, and everyone naturally sup
posed him to be devout disciple Of his
new faith. Nevertheless, we find this same
gentleman taking a very prominent part in
the Democratic congressional convention
at Fergus Falls. Here he looms up, as a
strong anti-fusionist; seconds the nomina-
ton of Mayor Mclean, and drafts the reso-
lutions passed at that convention The gen.
tleman was not selected from his county
as a delegate to the convention, but had
secured the proxies of those selected. 1t is
asserted that he is warm friend and
strong admirer of Mr.. Eddy, the Republi-
can nominee for congress, and that his sole
purpose in attending the Democratic con-
vention was to avert fusion with the Popu-
IrtC lo1,~ oln Hon
of Mr.. Eddy. The Republicans seem to be
playing a double-handed game by attempt
ing to dictate the actions of the Democratic
party as well. AS Democrat we protest
against this procedure. We do not advocate
fusion; but we believe that the Democrats
should run their own conventions without
any assistance from, dictatiOn by, the
Republicans We do not propose to stand
by any candidate nominated by any such
convention, nor will any true Democrat
feel under obligation to so do

Two Made One.

When Ned and Annie first met
To speak as they'd ne'er done before,
Thought Ned: with no shadow of regret
I'd live a hundred years more
If she's be my wife and my pet!
Now, though his love thoughts were mute.
Sweet Annie at once read his mind;
Oh a girls love is aWfuily cute.
And Ned was not either quite blind.
So right on the spot theS tied a hnot;
And as courtship demands, /.
Sweet Annie and Ned joined hands.
So one was made of those Two.
And both of them know it is true.
There's JOY and blessing in wing together
For two who are loving each other.
No matter how dark and stormy the weather.
Come sorrow, come trouble, come boihef,
When husband and wife
Are certainly one,
The battles of life
Are easily won.
Yes every time.

inson, E. Robinson, p. B. Cash and
w. G. Vance.
The Committee on resolutions re-
ported the following resolutions,
which were passed unanimously
We, the residents and planters of
the Red River valley in convention
assembled, do declare that in our
opinion the stopping up of the out
let's from Red river under the present
levee system is destructive of the
best interests of this section Of the
country, and if presisted in will des-
troy this entire section of country for
planting.
We respectfully ask that the Leg
islature have opened all the natural
outlets and thus permit the surplus
water to be carried off as the laws of
nature provide.
That the Legislature declare that
all lands between the natural banks of
Red river and the levees be free from
any tax by the Levee Boards.
That the Legislature declare all
property not benefited by the levee
system exempt from the levee tax by
the Levee Boards, and that any citi-
zen having property within any levee
district shall have the right to con-
test in the courts the fact whether
his property has been benefited or
will be benefited by the levees erect
ed or to be erected, and that the fact
that his property is locatee in levee
district shall not be any presumption
in favor of his being benefited by
such levees, but that the question
shall be submitted to the courts and
juries Of the country as any other
question, and be determined by the
proof. And that the Levee Boards of
Caddo and Bossier be prohibited from
issnine any more bonds or certificates
of Indebtedness, except on a majority
vote of the property holders of the
District prior to the creation of the
indebtedness.
It is the sense of this meeting that
no levee Districts be created or
any territory be added to the existing
districts except the same be recon-
mended by the majority vote of the
property holders residing in the ter
ritory to be added, taken prior to the
introduction and passage of the act.
