Mr. Tillman was accorded a warm well

the large audience spellbound by his logic

interrupted by the applause that greeted
the terse and rugged truths he drove
home to the people. His arraignment OF
the Republican party was terrific in the
extreme. He called a spade a spade and
thief thief. He cried aloud and
spared not. His presentation Of the money

The Travelling Man.

Could pour the nectar the gods only can
MI up my glass 10 the brim
And drink the success of the travelling
And the house represented by him:
And could / but tincture the glorious
With his smiles as drink TO him, then
With the jokes he has told and the laughs
he has laughed
I'd nil up the goblet again
And drink TO the sweetheart who gave
him "good-by'
With a tenderness thrilling him this
Very hour as he thinks OF the tear In her
That sailed the sweet of her kiss;
To her truest Of hearts ana fairest or
hands
I'd drink with all serious prayers.
For the heart she must trust Is a travel
linz mans,
And is warm as the ulster he wears.
I'd drink to the wife. with the babe on
her knee.
That awaits his returning in vain:
Who breaks his brief letters so tremu-
And reads them again and again.
And I'd drink to the feeble old mother,
who sits
BY the warm fireside Of her son
And murmurs and weeps Ger the stock
ings she knits
AS she thinks of the wandering one.
I'd drink a long life and health to the
friends
Who have met him with smiles and
good cheer;
To the generous hand that the stranger
extends
To the wayfarer journeying here;
And at last. when he turns from this
earthly abode
And pays the last fare that he can
May Mine Host OF the Inn al the emo
OF the road
still welcome the travelling man.

At 1880 o'clock the cornerstone Of the

A Fathers Great Mistake.

The worst mistake that a father
ever made is to suppose that he has
anything on his hands more inn
portant than looking after his own
children. Crowded with work, he
may be, and with necessary work.
But it is not possible to even think
of task so imperative in its ma
ture as to take precedence Of par
ents duties. Most fathers learn
this lesson sooner or later, but
many Of them. also do not learn 1t
until the time has passed when it
can be Of no particular value. Alb
sorbed as they may in daily tolls,
or promoting ambitious designs,
they forget their primary obliga-
tions, and miss their chance to
shape and mould their offspring.
The father who never has time to
sit down and talk to his boys is
making a mistake which is likely
to bear bitter fruit in the years to
come. One day he will lament
his folly and be amazed at it,
Nashville Advocate.
