Let out de tucks sewed in yo' soul. expand

Le faithful to yo' chosen chu'ch, but widen

See noble motives eberywha' an glib all

Dispute yo politics an points wiv tempah

An nebah in fair Argument explode an

In shot. resolbe to glib yo' soul balance
wheel an guide,
An nebah let 1t run slam bang wiv throttle
valve too wide.
Resolbe to be symmetrical upon de broad

Which wiv uncommon common-sense
rounds out de noble man.
Be homes upright, squah-toed. true, to
right good things inclined,
Instead oh a lop-sded soul by ebil under

Doant covet watahmillyuns. hens, or slip

70 chickens may come home to roost in

Doant glib yo' pennies to de chueh, yo' dol

Or make yo' sins all wide-awake yo' 'llgion

But wiv de sunshine in yo' soul soah high

THE MAID oFsFERN GLEN.
BY WILLIAM JONES.

BY WILLIAM JONES.
In Il little country village,
Beneath the sunny hills,
There dwells'a maiden ever dear to me.
Overhead you'd hear sweet singing
by the evening wbip-poor- wills,
There music fills her heart with 10Y and glce
one day we both were lovers,
Two hearts they beat as one,
Perhaps today were lovers just the same
This world I'd give could | recall
Those happy days now gone
spent with her, the maid of Fern Glen
Chorus.
Maid of the glen, heart of all men,
just like rose, wherein she goes,
When shall we meet again
Star of my life
BE my little wife,
You're my sweet maid of the glen.
She wanders in the garden
Mid the flowers grand and gay
Each flower holds Il secret of her love-
Shell droop her head in silence,
To the lily she will say
Come to my heart, sweet treasure from
In thee trust my heart and soul, Iabove.
My secrets to reveal.
Bury them beneath your little stem
Then fly away to him love,
How happy he will feel
With message from the maid of Fern lien.

most every hearthstOne on the continent.
The breach in the Democratic party in
Chicago. while not so spectacular, is not
less pronounced than that which took
place in Charleston in 1860. AS the diff
ferences leading up to the separation
then were sectional and as they were EN-
Uttered by extremists whose madness
could not be controlled, so now the party
goes to pieces rs Il result of the dcvilish
teachings of the irrecOncilablcs. whose
gospel of avarice and sectional hate has
found new favor with the unthinking
masses of the south and west.
No slave driver stands ready today
with blazing torch to light the flame of
war; no Sumpter awaits i'll silence and
anxiety the opening gun of civil strife;
but sccti0nalism. now and forever ram
pant when Democracy's ranks are brok-
on. holds within its accused grasp every
woe and every alarm that has ut any time
menaced the American people.
To this dread spirit the deSpicahlc
creatures who have controlled the Chi
cago convention have appealed, rocking
nothing of the consequences. The
mightier spirits of liberty and humanity
must again be invoked for its overthrow,
Democracy has been Inundated. but il
has not been destroyed. 1t still lives, II
prodigous force for good. Il terror to evil,
Rising again in all the majesty of the
power of everything truth. it will Smite
with mailed hand the traitors and mcr-
cenarias who, in its honored name. have
raised the somber flag of financial shame
and the blackcr flag of disunon and
hate.

Louisville, July 16.-A special from

here from Coburn, Va, to the effect that

bic character and was compelled to leave
this place on that account. She went to
Coburn, where her child was cared for
by negroes until it was about six months
old, when it was turned over to her. She
did not want it and tried TO get rid of it
in various ways. One night about mid
night people living close by heard the
little one screaming. Black smoke was
seen isuing from the chimney and the
door was burst in to ascertain the trouble.
The child had been placed in the fire and
the mother was holding it in the flames
with long iron poker 1t was burned
almost to Il crisp. The inhuman mother
was arrested and placed i'll Jail. The in
furiated people wanted to lynch her. but
the promise of speedy justice caused them
to allow the law to take its course. She
was tried, and convicted of murder in
the first degree. She was about 2S years
old

coincidence of the departure of General
Manager Yoakum, General Freight Agent
L. l.. Polk and Master of Transportation
=. r. Downs of the Gulf, Colorado and

ed it will be Mr.. Polk.
