RABIA.
written in 1916 by Richard Monckton

Milnes.l
A pious friend one day of Rabia asked
How she had learnt the truth of Allah
wholly:
BY what instructions was her memory
tasked-
How was her heart estranged from this
worlds folly?
She answered.: Thou, who knowest God
in parts,
Thy spirits moods and processes can
tell;
l only know that in my heart of hearts
have despised myself and loved Him
WELL"
Some evil upon Rabia fell:
And one who loved and knew her well
Murmured that God with pain undue
Should strike a child so fond and true;
But she replied: "Believe and trust
That all suffer is most just;
I had in contemplation striven
To realize the joys of heaven;
I had extended fancy's flights
Through all that region of delights
Had counted, till the numbers failed,
The pleasures on the blest entailed-
Had sounded the ecstatic rest
| should enjoy on Allah's breast;
And for those thoughts / now atone,
That were something of my own,
And were not thoughts of Him alone"
When Rabia unto Mekkeh came.
She stood awhile apart-alone;
Nor Joined the crowd, with hearts on
flame,
Collected round the Sacred Stone.
She, like the rest, with toll had crossed
The waves of water, rock and sand;
And now, as one long tempest-tossed,
Beheld the Kaabeh's promised land.
Yet in her eyes no transport glistened:
She seemed with shame and sorrow
bowed;
The shouts Of prayer she hardly listened,
But beat her heart and cried aloud:
40 heart! weak follower Of the weak,
That thou should'st traverse land and
sea,
In this far place that God to seek
Who long ago had como to thee!'
Round holy Rabia's suffering bed
The wise men gathered gazing graVely;
Daughter of God! the younger said,
Endure thy Fathers chastening brave
They that have stepped their souls In
prayer
Can every anguish calmly bear"
She answered not, and turned aside,
Though not reproachfuly nor sadly:
Daughter OF God!" the eldest cried,
Sustain thy Fathers chastening gladly.
They that have learned to pray Alright,
From pains dark well draw up delight"
Then she spoke out: "Your words are
fair;
But oh! the truth lies deeper still.
i know not, when absorbed in prayer,
Pleasure or pain, or good or ILL.,
They that Gods face can understand
Feel not the motions of His hand

most to blame? Il it al TO be charged

ton on the part Of the American Pomo-
logical society and the carelessness of
officials OF the Department Of Agriculture,
who are paid good salary each to keep
a close watch over all the states and
notify. shield and protect in the best way
possible, the rights and needs Of all the
people.
The reason given by the present secre-
tary OF agriculture for the publication Of
this work by the general government is.
for lack OF funds on the part Of the
American Pomological Society and be-
cause it was 60 ordered and approved by
his predecessor. Secretary J. s. Morton,
and his chief OF pomology. 8. B. Heiges,
in 1895.
Every no, ,ticulturist, nurseryman and
fruit grower OF the United States knows
that Secretary Morton and his man
Heiges, were totally Incompetent and of
in all matters connected with horticul-
ture and its great importance to the ma
tion and the nations use and wealth.
Secretary Wilson has aii his life been
a worker in the ranks Of active horti-
culturists, and has surely no excuse for
not noticing and having the faulty work
corrected before permitting il to go to
press. II he will look back into the
Agricultural Reports Of 1892, from page
"a on to page 80. he will find truth
ful and elaborate report on Fruits and
Fruit Growing in Colorado written by
the then Chief Of Pomology. Prot. Henry

Party spirit, prejudice and en-
thusiasm often bind men very
closely to their party candidates
and induce them to believe that
prosperity will inevitably follow
the election Of their favorite. This
idea induced many men in this
county to vote for Mckinley, when
their better judgment told them
differently. What has become Of
all these entic 'ng promises2 None
have been fulfilled. "Times" are
even harder than before election.
Bank failures are piling high on
each other. Robberies are increas-
ing at an alarming rate. There is
no work for even willing hands TO
do. Men-honest, hard-working
men-have not even one weeks
food laid by for their wives and
children. Somebody has been de-.
ceived. Mckinley has sbeen elected
but prosperity has not Shown up.

THE LEGISLATURE.

The Oregon legislature meets on
Monday next. This county will
be represented by three repuhli.
cans and two populists. They have
oil repeatedly PROMISED to work
for many sadly needed reforms.
These reforms must come, or our
representatives will prove either
unworthy or inefficient.
The populists are in the minor
ity and too much must not De
demanded Of them. The republi-
cans have a handsome majority
and can do what they wish. For
this reason, the people will hold
the republicans to strict account
ability for the EVIL done and the
good left undone. If the legislature
gets itself tied up with the senate
rial contest, and thus neglects its
business, they will have to answer
for it. The memory of the last
legislative tie-up will not admit of
a recurrence. A senator should be
elected on the first ballot, and the
rest of their time should be devoted
to the peoples affairs.
