THROUGH THE SHADOWS.

There's no sun to cheer the valley
Where deaths chilling waters flow:
And of coast and cline beyond it 4
Those on this side do not know.
Birds sing not above those waters;
There mysterious ravens chant,
Giving earth nor name nor inkling
OF the land beyond their haunt.
Nothing grows by that cold river:
And grew lily there or thorn,
Would it hint of what Is yonder-
Boon or ban. or murk or morn?
Yet must all so through that darkness.
Lighted by no cheering beam, +
Through the waters and the shadows
That o'erhang the chilling stream.
For no bridge o'erspans that river.
Nor can mortals sail the wave:
Nor can science guide the farer.
Or enhearten to be brave.
Nor can reason give the pilgrim (.
Boatman, compass or a bark: :,
Yet by faith he gains the daring /; =
For the torrent and the dark ;,
Faith inspirits him with visions. .
OF the Heaven Of his quest,
OF land beyond the shadows.
OF the country of the blest.
And right onward to that Heaven, =
Onward through the chilling stream,
Gladly, calmly. fares the pilgrim,
Outraged by faiths cheering beam; -.
Onward to eternal splendors
Where majestic mountains rise
In the radiance of the sunshine
OF the country of the skies.
fragrant roses bloom forever
In the paradise above.
And the lilies to the zephyrs
Breathe the sweetness Of their love.
I'm the forest aisles Of Heaven
Birds and brooks and zephyrs sing
or the beauties and the glories
OF the country of the King:
And the music of the numbers
OF the minstrelsy on high
Shall intensity and sweeten
Through the ages of the sky.

Auntie Jill, who heard them from
the dark corner behind the curtain,

This is the only true solution OF the
problem with which the farmers have
to deal. and is the only one which
gives any assurance of relief. Most
Of the cotton raised in the South is
consumed by Southern mills, but
lit lie finds its way to the Noith' and
still less is exported to other coun

We are sorry to see our brother OF
the Dispatch so off in this style We
know he has imbibed some OF the
republican virus Of high protectlon'
but if there is anything more than
another that has robbed the Southern
farmers it is this same repu bllcan
nrotection tariff. But how in the
world high protective tariff on "a"
cotton imported into this country
would help the condition of the
Southern cotton grower is past find,
ino ont. when as we'll as we now
remember, there are only about lOo,-
OOO bales of Egyptian cotton lm-
porte 4 into this country. This is a
mere drop in the bucket, not much
more than is grown by some
counties in this State, and if we. had
statute absolutely prohibiting its
importation it would not appreclably
affect the market. A high tariff man
must be under great stress OF
weather when such flisy argument
as this advanced in its support. But
the most remarkable statement IN
the above paragraph is that which
says, 'most of the cotton raised IN
the South is consumed by Southern
mills, but little finds its way to the
mills in the North, and still less is

the editor must have been asleep

nearly twice as much Southern cot
