.,r,r.s inhumanity to man
Makes countelss thousands mourn"
,n, little ways of multitudes, who lead
AD loWly life,
uorth as much to them as those OF
AL0 greatest in the strife;
DIST do the many ills they have to bear,
without redress,
=. harden them that lost are all emo
tons Of distressG
Arc their affections blunted, or distress
less keen and strong,
1Ubane'er their hearts are. touched to
kindle love or endure Wrong9
And are the fountains of their eyes too
drv for tears to flow,
or sanses callous so no natural feelings
in them gloW9
II hut a Joy alights to settle on an
humble hearth
II sheds q sunshine that atones for
aching toll and dearth,
And all the homely trials-big to
them-they overcome,
Are lust as much to them as Waterloo
to Wellington.
The little world in which they live is
all the world to them
A circumscribed horizon bounding all
of earthly kin
But even there, If undisturbed, they
can contented be
In peace of mind unknown to lives of
pampered luxury.
Is life worth living only to the wealthy,
idle drOne
Who, mid his plenty, Tolls at ease upon
his gilded Ghrone9
The simple jOys and ways, which are
the ali of humble state,
Makes home more dear than all the
tinsel grandeur of the great.
Must then such sacred homes be wreck
ed by selfish greed and fraud
Without q cry for vengeance unto q
Just and living Code
Must those who are, by far, more
worthy Of His helping hand
Re made to wander homeless and for
lon throughout the landG
Does wonder gold bond plutocrat, who
is more millions worth
Than he who has by ~ceaseless toll,
saved dollars since his birth,
Deserve more homage than the victim
whom he Wrung them from
Through weary years of treadmill work
from dreary sun to suns
Did Nature use her choicest clay the
millionaire to mould,
Who gilds his crimes i'm courts of JUS
tice with i'll gotten gold,
And only refuse used to crowd with
slave the mother soil
To doom them to q masters task mid
unremitting tolls
The sweat of honest brow that earns its
bread and taxes pay,
| Can life its head, with conscience clear,
IN light of day.
Compared with those who rob him Of
his birthright's deed of earth,
How God-like is his mess of pottage
with his honest worth
The cyclone, lightning, earthquake,
food and fame their havoc
make,
RELENTLESS in their rage with ruthless
ruin in their wake,
But nRUght that Nature in its might
and i5rcest wrath can do
Exceeds what man his felloWman can
bring to grief and rue.

Ran Oyera Boy

This morning the little son Of Mr..
A. c. Newman was very seriously in
jLred by being run over. The father
was driving in at Brutts wood yard
with heavy load Of poles, when the
little fellow, who is only about years
old, attempted to climb on the wagon
near the rear He was not perceived
by the father and sudden jolt threw
hun beneath the rear wheel, which
passed over his face, breaking the jaw
very badly and cutting the face terri
bly,. The horriied father picked up
the unconscious child and took him to
DR.. Dunn's Office, where the wounds
we're dressed. AT last accounts the
little fellow was resting quite comfor-
tably, and it is thought he will re-
cover. Purcell Sun.

Over Bank Indian Territory.
Birmingham state herald., 1897-02-04
FRIDAY THE DAY.

Tomorrow has been set apart for the consideration of the bill calling for con- stitutiona1 convention.
 The State Herald yesterday gave a full and concise report of the feeling that perneates the state relative to this im- portant matter and it is useless to say more.
 That nine-tenths of the white popula- tion of the state, irrespective of party, desire change in the constitution can but be admitted by every one who has watched the trend of public opinion since the subject has been agitated.
 It now remains for the lawmakers to pass judgment. If they desire to rep resent the wishes of their constituents the State Herald cannot see how they can refuse to pass the bill ordering the convention.
 While the State Herald fayors the measure, it is not biased by any specific purpose. and its efforts in the matter have simply been to carol the views of the people and present their position concisely, hoping thereby to aid the as- sembly in it's efforts to do that which, in its opinion. is for the best interest of the whole people of the state and at the same time comply with their wishes.
 Not only the immediate constituents, but men throughout the entire country are watching every movement on the chess board looking to the passage or
 the striking down of this measure. Why
 they are so watching has already been told. Alabama is the central figure in the satellites of states just at this time. The practical illustration that she can place upon the market her mineral pro- ducts in competition with the pauper la Dor of Europe and make a profit after paying liberal wages for labor has l startled and astonished the commercial 1 world. Such advantages are not lost | sight of and when Alabama exhibits l that progress and disposition to arouse l from her lethargy and throw off the l moulded cloak long since antiquated in style and less prized for comfort, we will see greater strides of prosperity than was evinced when speculation run riot at the first discovery of these resources, and stable growth will take root where speculation destroyed.
 Give the people of Alabama chance, gentlemen of the assembly, to say for l themselves whether or not they want a l change in the organic law of the state, | and no man can question but that you | have done your duty.
