(My little girl the angels bore away,
/ often wonder how she'd look if she
were here today

her cheeks,
Or would she feel the pain that care be-

If she had lived,
Would not the ways have bloomed in
sweeter wise,
And life been one perpetual spring be-

Despair has crept within my heart to

The struggling plant of hope that fain

She would have Kept the alien out,

Risincs In Macedonia.

In most cases "risings in Macedonia"
are the work of sympathizing or rest
less outsiders, who organize bands Of
Christian brethren. These crusaders
cross the frontiers, are stunned like the
pest by the bulk Of the wretched people
and are ultimately cut down by the
Turks, Pomaks or Arnauts, or else
driven back whence they came. No
doubt it does occur once in awhile that
some dastardly crime which only. q
Turkish Mohammedan can conceive and
execute causes the blood of the most
phlegmatic to boil over and drives the
victim to Stay his tortura then and
there and execute an Indian war dance
around his corpse. Such man has for
feited his life, and the utmost he can
hope for is to sell it dearly. He fees,
therefore, to the mountains or the
woods and gradually gathers other out
laws around him who are as desperate
as himself. This gang lives thereafter
for the sole purpose Of executing the
wild justice known as revenge, the mad
dening thirst for which occasionally
drives them to the commission of crimes
akin to cannibalism. But these are the
exceptions.
Take them all ii all, the Christian
population Of Macedonia is submissive,
industrious, frugal and patient to
fault. The Turks themselves frequently
admit and admire their excellent quail
ties and never neglect to profit by them.
A high Ottoman official lately assured
me that the Bulgarians in Macedonia
were very loyal, thrifty, submissive
subjects, Of whom the porte has reason
to be proud, and" he naively added,
sit is a calumny to affirm that we have
the slightest reason to be dissatisfied
with them. If left alone by Bulgaria
and Servian agitators, we and they
could live in peace and harmony for
ever. ''-Contemporary Review.

Secretary Morton, in his annual re-
port, makes the agreeable statement
that better times for the farmers are
just ahead, and that values of land
will increase. The farmers will be
happy to learn of this and take the
Secretary at his word. They have
been waiting for turn in the tide for
ysars- something that would bring
their broad acres to figure outside
those met with at a sheriff's sale-and
the chance for Improvement is evil
IDENTIFY justified by fact. The increase
of millions in the population and the
demand in foreign markets are the
factors in this field of promise for the
farmers. Secretary Morton has also
set lesson in economy inexpendi-
lures in his department. Out of S5,-
1O2, ,523 appropriated during the past
two fiscal years, 81, ,126,268 have been
returned to the Treasury as the unex-
pended balance.

Some of the newspapers are pre-
maturely, as it seems TO US, opening
up and discussing the governor ques-
tion.' The st. Johnsbury Republican
strikes out with very fair editorial
in naming Maj. Josiah Grout of Derby.
The Free Press, while confessing to
favor a change to the former two
term custom, has the following:
The st. JoI,nsbury Republican is, we
believe. the first Vermont journal to
formally present candidate Tor the
next nomination for governor. 1t
cannot be denied that it names good
of Derby. He is all that the RepubIi-
can claims for him. He has many
friends all over the State, and if,when
the canvass opens in earnest, and as
If progresses there is found to be
fair preponderance of preference for
him among the republicans on the
east side of the mountain, there will,
we venture to say, be strong dis
Dosition to concur in their choice, on
the part of large proportion of the
republicans in this half of the State.
IF we understand it Major Grout
NAV be considered'sin the field, ''in the
sense that he would accept nomina-
ton. if it could come to him without
a pre- convention struggle which
should engender political strife or
wrangling. He has no relish for con-
1 tests of this sort. 1t is probably true
that large number OF prominent
men in the State have asked that he
/ nd no 10
per cent of voters are favorable to
him to day than to any or to all other
! named candidates.

Report comes from the Italian cap
ital that Russia has decided on indie
pendent action in the affairs OF Iur-
key. 1t may be premature report,
but there does not seem any prospect
of action at all in any other way. The
other powers seem to be afraid ofeach
other, and certainly, since the recent
atrocities in Armenia and elsewhere
have been in progress, Russia has
acted with the most surprising pa
tience. If she should now, as she is
abundantly able to do, thrust an army
corps across the southern boundary
into Armenia, and another toward
Constantinoole, who but the Turks,
would have any claim to object?

Sec. of Agriculture Morton has no
sympathy with the pessimistic and
lugubrious utterances of populist agi-
tators and agrarian socialists. In his
annual report he declares that the
debts of the land owners are trivial in
comparison with the Indebtedness of
merchant manufacturers, bankers aud
railroad corporations; and as the sup
plv of farm lands remain stationary,
and the consumption of farm products
increases, his proposition that farm
values must increase seems reason
able one.

The national convention of Chris
tian Workers, which has just closed
at New Haven, Ct, was quite remark
able gathering. It was very largely
attended by delegates from different
parts of the country, and at some OF
the meetings as many as 1000 per
sons were present. It's object is to
bring the forces of Christianity to
bear upon the depraved and outcasts.
1t originated in a humble way at New
Haven about twenty years ago, when
Rev. John G. Collins, its present sec
retary, began doing mission work in
that city. He at once became deeply
interested in young boys running the
streets and abandoned to all sorts of
evil influences. He organized boys
clubs in different parts of the city.
Here the boys were brought together
evenings and taught reading, writing
and other useful branches of learning
Wealthy and public spirited people
became interested in the movement
and it grew rapidly in the city. 9th
or nlaces learned of its success and
took up the work. This, we un-
derstand, is the beginning of the or
oanization which now has member
ship of many thousands.
