THE DIFFERENCE.

1t is a noticeable fact that, no mat
ter how unpropitious the season, the
farmers who diversity their crops,
with grass for winter forage and sum-
mer pasturage, alwayshave a sufficient
amount to carry them to the next year,
with a surplus to sell to meet their
taxes and pay the merchant and the
preacher, and the lawyer and doctor if
they are so unfortunate as to need their
services. Their stock is as fat and
sleek as the cattle of Bashan the year
round. Their tables are supplied with
fruits and a variety of bread, meats
and vegetables that insure sound di-
g%estion, refreshing sleep robust health
and constant activity of mind and
body. Thus pursued, agriculture is the
most honorable vocation, a constant
profit, and perennial delight and in-
dependence that no crowned king can
enjoy.
Not so with the thriftless, ~slovenly,
r~amshackle farmer. He is an Ixion
chained to the wheel of hard times.
From year to year he EFFORTS less and
less of wheat and corn from his vast

In Memory of Maud Campbell.

Maudie Campbell died October 7,
1895. IT'S the bud, the wonderous
fair, the full blown rose, that charm
half seen half guessed unfading from
her spicy breas6, and now she sleeps in
endless rest. Another happy home is
darkened, another light is gone, an
other family circle broken, Il missing
link on earth, another star in heaven.
Last Monday night as the moon was
sinking in the western sky the grim
messenger death entered the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Henderson Campbell aud
summoned the beloved daughter and
sister Maudie. Peacefully and sweelly
she passed out Of this world into eter-
nifty. This is n of the mysterious
dispensations of God; il is not for us
to question the justice n mercy OF
God. Jesus doeth all things well
While her loved ones louged 10 keep
her there is a vacancy that can never
be filled; we will miss her, but she is
in that beautiful land of rest awaiting
the coming of her loved Ones.

Asleep With Jesus.

Little Jake oliver, infant son of
Joseph and Jane oliver, has gone to
his peaceful abode with Jesus. His
prattling voice is heard, not in the
home, but in Heaven above. His little
chair is vacant, his life's mission ia
ended, and he is asleep with Jesus for
ever. Dear parents, brothers and sis.
tiers, weep not, for if you live for
Heaven you will in the sweet by and
by clasp his precious form and hear the
songs of Zion from his infant lips in
glory. You said good by, but only a
few fleeing years and you too shall
sleep by his side meath the nodding
pine.
In your home a vacant chair
By the fireside sits alone,
Free from sin, from pain and care,
Is your darling little one.
His life so short-like a flower,
So pure, so sweet, so fair,
At the silent midnight hour
He passed from this world of care.
All, at the midnight honr so dark,
An angel came to take
The precious one, the darling form of
little Jake.
How dark the home when all grew still,
AND MS young heart beat no more, 4,
You said good by, my little one,
We will meet on Canaan's shore.
Asleep with Jesus, is his soul,
His form on the hillside's lain;
Heaven is his happy home
know that we can meet again.
Weep not, father, for your child,
So tender, sweet and pure,
His life was not beguiled:
1t needed not q cure.
All, mother, dear, don't wish him back
To this world of toll and pain.
But pray and live that by and by
You will kiss his lips again.
For il you live and heaven gain,
You will meet your child up there,
Not scorched with fever, racked with
pain,
Like when he suffered here.
Is this not a warning now,
Dear brother, unto you?
That ere long, when you think not
Deaths messenger will come for you.
Your brother, dear, is a light to you,
He will light your pathway home,
Hear him saying, "brothers, dear,
Conn see my mansioned home"
Sister, hear him call to you,
AS DER his grave you weep,
"Don't shed those tears, my little dear,
With Jesus Pm asleep" ~

ing fields. He raises nothing else. He
is too trifling to make grass seed and
too poor to buy it. He takes his stock
through the winter on a little wheat
straw and a few bundles of fodder, and
is out of everything by the time the
cruel, piercing March winds begin to
cut through their dry hides and empty
maws when the screak of their oilless
joints as they crawl around his dilapi-
dated barn furnishes the G minor in the
ritrattle of a neighboring hominy
beater. He is a nuisance and burden
to the community. His stock of farm
ing implements belongs to his neigh
bors and when it comes to borrowing
he is a perfect prodigal. He is con-
stautly vexed over the financial ques-
ton and thinks he is robbed of Just
80 much when the officers compel him
to pay his taxes. He reads no books
nor newspapers, is well informed on
all subjects without any effort on his
part, and is a politician by instinct.
There is the riot of disorder on his
premises and he is never ready to do
anything and when necessity compels,
the best he will do is mere make shifts.
He sleeps all night, part of the day,
Tolls of a Sunday in the shade of the
filth he c%ultivates in his yard, his over
worked wife blacks his shoes when he
is driven out to church, he never
washes nor shaves and never puts on a
clean shirt till the last minute. His
garden is a wilderness of weeds and
his unkept orchard looks like an Afri.
can jungle. He wouldn't buy q fruit
tree If 1T bore leaves of silver and ap-
Piles of gold. When the elections come
around he is the unterriied free Amer
lean sutfragan and does not vote until
he has posted himself as to the amount
of Doodle aioat and the top of the
market for ballots. OF course this
farmer, SO called, lives from hand to
mouth, his white rooster" continually
on the pad for a morsel to keep him
from perishing between wind and
weather. The buzzards play poker for
the carcasses of his animals and what
escapes them, he keeps tied to a stake
to prevent their being spirited away by
the spring zephyrs.
Is this last character q typical East
Tennessee farmer? Our agricultural
readers know better than we. We have
seen enough and know enough, how.
ever, to convince us that we arc not
reviving the art of Ananias in this
brief description of some of our truly
good and we'll meaning rural friends.
In our characteristic good humored
way we shall occasionally drop a few
grains of truth along this furrow
opened by the ploughshare of time,
with the hope and prayer that they
will be germs of a general revolution
in the ways and modes of serving God
and man in the fields where nature
caves her bewitcherles, sings her
sweetest songs and writes her grandest
poems.

A BIFURCATED r

This is the way one wing Of the
Democratic party dances the ghost
dance on the silver issue.
From the day that silver coinage was
stealthily stopped in 1878, n wave of
disaster has followed another until
farmers, mechanics, manufacturers,
merchants, skilled ard unskilled la
borers, are diligently and a~nxiously
inquiring what they must do to be
saved. There has been nothing like
general prosperity since the act of de-
monetization was surreptitiously pass
ed. The history of decentralization in
other countries warrants the statement
that there is no ground to hope that
there will be any substantial improve
ment in the financial condition of the
country until the divergence between
silver and gold created by law has
been overcome and their union re-
established by law.
The cuckoo section gets off" the
ghost quadrille with movements ex-
actly the reverse.
Prosperity has come on back" and
come to stay. Business is way ahead
of any of its old booms. There
is not an unemployed laborer in the
land. Factories are running forty
eight hours out of twenty four, and
the circulation of wages is making a
Nile flood of trade in all its branches.
The Wilson law has proved itself the
pink of the pinkiest, the Jim Dandy
daisy of C~levelandism. The brightest
intellects of the nineteenth century
have accidentally discovered that the
white metal, hallowed by age and first
consecrated to the worlds use by the
Father of the Faithful in the purchase
of a burial place for his wife is a pre-
tence, cheat and a fraud. Monometal.
ism, hued with the sheen that has
made rich and splendid everything it
has touched from the tower of Belus to
the Babylonian garishness of the pres
ent day, is the remedy.
The Republicans stand off and watch
the antics of these capering throngs
with peculiar sensations of delight and
satisfaction. They well know that the
wild and boisterous frolic will end in a
game of cut throat, and after that the
universal ~wreckage of a great party,
which claims jefferson as its first
parent and Jackson as one of its an
%cestors.
The Republican party can well afford
to be calm and serene. 1t can stand
on its financial record without fear
or peril. 1t gave to the country its
wisest and best system of finance and
has always maintained it. The Demo.
Gratis have tried everything else and
ingloriously failed. They must have
a new issue, all their old ones are
worn to q FRAGILE, and in their gloom
and desperation they just happened to
strike upon silver. Though silver has
committed no offence, and has always
conducted itself with a thoroughly
decent regard for the proprieties it is
being bullied, badgered, cudgled and
shot riddled because it refuses to be
dragged into the tragic scene of the
slaughter house and open rave.
