TENDERNESS.

Not unto every heart is Gods good gift
OF fsimple tenderness allowed we meet
With love in many fashions when we lift
First To our lips life's waters bitter sweet,
Love comes upon Us with resistless power
OF curbless passion, and with hesldstrong
will,
ltplays around like ApriI's breeze and shower,
OR calmly flows, a rapid stream and still.
IL comes with blessedness unto the heart
That welcomes it Alright or-bitter fatc.-
1t wings the bosom with so fierce a smart,
That love, we cry, is crueler than hate.
And then, all me, when love has ceased to
bless.
Our broken hearts cry out for tendemesSi
We long for tenderness like that which hung
About Us, lying on our mothers breast
a selfish feeling, that no pen or tongue
Can praise Alright, since silence sings it best
a love, as far removed from passions heat
As from the chilliness of its dying fire;
\ love TO earn ON when the falling feet
Begin TO totter and the eyes To tire.
In youths brief heyday hottest love We seek,
The reidest rose we grasp-but when il dies
God grant the latter blossoms, vioIets meek.
May spring for us beneath life's autumn
skies
God grant some loving one be near 10 bless
Our weary way with simple tenderness.

A FEW WORDS ON IMMIGRATION


 To the Ago. Herald:
 In your issue of the 17th was pleased to read the letter of T. G. s. and note how fully he recognized what an excellent immi- grafton opportunity Alabama and her citlzens are losing in not generally press- ing the matter before the people of Kan- sas, Nebraska, lowe, the Dakotas, Min years has made Kansas and Nebraska the finest field that could be desired for ob- taining immigrants, but aside from the efforts of the Queen and Crescent and the or three immigration corporations and in- dlyiduals, nothing has been done in either state, and probably for want of funds or authority so far as the state of Alabama is concerned.
 The wholesome advice of sT. G. SD to landowners D not to ssturn hog and drive away would be purchasers by high prices'' IS also strictly seasonable. For instance, s. w. Rose and other Decatur county, Indiana. people last summer came south looking for colony location, apds -liking the lands-to the north of Biloxi and Mis- sissippi City, Miss, priced same and agreed to endeavor to locate their colony upon those lands. Two weeks ago they returned and announced their readiness to go on as per agreement, when the owners refused to deliver at prices agreed upon, resulting in the colony not being located there and people being warned that they need not expect agreements as to sale of land carried out by those owners.
 The best exhibit in the north and north west, have been told, was that of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad company at the state and county fairs up there, and cer- tainly entities General Passenger Agent Posey of that road to much credit for get ting together and exhibiting the state. I am not, however, going to say the Mobile and Ohio is doing it for s'its health,'' for the prime cause is that it aees that the pas- senger and freight receipts will SO increase from it as to repay 1t.
 "T. G. S.' leaves us in the dark when he writes that s.To my perception two men from have been doing all the work. Just two among sthis mass of people, and these two have had time to make an occasional trip, for which many thank them.o This may mean General Passen ger Agent Posey of the Mobile and Ohio and President Henry Fonde of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad company's land department, or it may mean Hon. Hector D. Lane and Mir. P. Sid Jones, or two members of the Eutaw Real Estate agency of Eutaw, Ala, or two ac- tive former citizens of Ohio who purchased homes (farms) in Alabama, aud are actively engaged in bringing down Ohio people to settle in Alabama.
 GIT. G. S.' strikes the keynote when he requests the people to drop politics and ex- pend their energies upon immigration, as fJ really is the all-important subject of the season, and one that there is money in for the average citizen of Alabama, but not so with politics. Yours truly,
 JAMES F. SLATER.

AFTER THOUGHTS.

s'There are always great many things that would like to mention in speech and cannot for the want of time, said Senator Morgan yesterday morning. II wanted to tell Saturday night about my visit to Salisbury, N. Y., last August. At this point is located one of the oldest iron plants in the United States. Here was made the iron for the Constitution, for one of Paul Jones' warships, and for the can- non used by the Federals during the late war. In conversation with the proprietor he told me that he was making iron at cost of SIS a ton, while in Alabama 1t only cost 90, and that he would have to shut down his plant. I told him that my friends were making iron in Alabama at $6 ton, according to the report of an English ex- pert. He said further that the Mckinley bill had hurt him. It had caused con- centration of capital in iron centers, and lower wages and reduced cost of produc- tion. The Mckinley bill had induced British capital to invest largely In the en. terprises of this country. Three- fourths of the stock of railroads and many leading in- dustrial enterprises were owned by Eng lishmen. The dividends on these invest ments were paid in gold, and that's one cause of the outflow of gold from this country. The Mckinley bill bolstered up industries that had no logical reason for existence. The Democratic tariff is going to force out of blast many badly located Eastern furnaces, and is go- ing to transfer the iron center to the South. l have always contended that a high tariff on iron protected the Eastern furnaces against the rivalry of the South. The Southern iron masters stand in their own light when they demand high pro- tective tariff. I went with Major Hardie to the top of Red mountain and saw there the great deposits of iron ore that will run the furnaces of this district for hundreds of years to come. The ore is easily mined, and the furnaces are in rifle shot. This is the most favored country in the world."

Fashion and Economy Both App
 prove Black Clothing.
An Easy Way of Home Dyeing-Cot- ton, Wool, Silk and Feathers Readily Colored a Handsome Black-Use Only Diamond Dyes. Absolutely Fast Black.

It is only within the last few years that it has been possible for an inexperienced person to dye black that would not crock, i, fade or wash out. Even mill-dyed black goods were rarely absolutely fast.
 The advent of three diamond dye fast blacks-for wool, for cotton and for silk and feathers-has changed all this. Now, with 10-cent package of one of these dyes, the first trial gives perfect success. The directions on the packages are so plain and simple that even child can get better results than the experienced dyer could few years ago.
 The prevailing fashion for black stock ings, feathers, gowns and cloaks, and the fact that anything can be colored with dia- mond dyes black that will not crock or fade, explains their almost universal use.
 The peculiar way in which the diamond dye fast blacks are made gives them great superiority over all other methods of home dyeing.
 There are some forty other colors of dia- mond dyes, each of which is thoroughly reliable and as superior to limitations as sunlight is to moonlight.

THE TWO EVANGELISTS.

After hearing MT. Moody preach the se- cret of his power oyer the hearts and minds of men is at once revealed. His wonderful influence lies in his quick sym pathy, in his abounding zeal, in his thrilling eloquence, in his alert rtintelligence. His manner is as gentle and genial as the sunshine and as pregnant in bringing forth fruit. As compared to Sam Jones he is as the sun to the cyclone-the one warm :. ing into life the hidden seed, the other up- roofing trees and Ieveling the forest; as tine gentle shower to the cloudburst-the one fructifying the fields, the other water ing the earth, bptwashing out deep gull lies; as-ttA5e river to the mountain Icrreps- the one bearing on it's bosom the commerce of nations, the other dashing headlong over the rocks until 1t plunges over the precipice; as the broad sword to the rapier the one cleaving to the marrow, the other piercing the joints of the harness; as steam to electricity-the one drawing steadily it's precious freight, the other flashing from Heaven to earth; as the vio- let to the rose-the one full of perfume, the other fragrant but guarded by thorns.

"YoU have crossed the Rubicon; you are of us now; you have abandoned the Demo- cratic party; we have opened our arms and received you. You are of us now!" ex- claimed lifelong Republican Lewis B. Parsons in a recent speech to Jeffersonian Democrats and Populiteu. What rejoicing there would be in the Radical camp if this were only true. How inexpressibly happy would they be if it were a fact that white Democrats had apostatized from the faith, deserted the party which had been their only political safeguard for twenty five years and gone over to their enemy? But such is not and cannot be the fact until gratitude ceases to be virtue and the Anglo-Saxon race oblivious to it's prin- ciples and unmindful of it's honor and tra- ditions.

THE NEW TARIFF AND THE CUR-
 RENCY. 'a
 10 the Age Herald: z.,a f-,-~ a
 Theso are John Shermau's words at Ak ron, O., on October 12, 1S94
 ssIf the new tariffand tax law will, as our democratic friends claim, furnish revenue to support the governme there will be no difficulty in preserving the parity of our money.' ssf..s4s,, --
 The latest, most. reliable estimate of the revenues of the United States under the new tariff and tax law Is that there will be 8 large surplus after supporting an hon. est, economicat democratic administration of the government, and the strong proba- bility is that this surplus will pay of the public debt as fast as it natures, and can be safely done, without cent of additional taxation. Then If John Sherman knows anything about it, the democratic tariff now in force not only in- creases revenue to an abundant point, and that by reducing the burdens of taxation, but solves finally the terrible currency problem, and that, too, on 6 basis per- fectly consistent with the absolutely free coinage of silver. What wisdom there Is in democratic principles and policiesl Aud what folly and wickedness to abandon them! se's-s VERITAS.
