AN EASTER LILY.
TBy A. W. HaWks.l

A seed fell into the grodnd; it died.
And from its grave there grew a
lily.
Tall, fair and pure as an angel by
the throne of God, the lily stood
erect in crystal vase.
And its golden tongue praised
God.
The florist said, ut is the queen
of my Easter Offering"
The poet came to buy flower for
the woman he loved.
He saw the lily and he said. "She
Is as fair as that flower"
And on Easter Sunday morning
the lily rose and fell upon her breast.
In the great congregation, when
the waves of glorious muse touched
the lily, it qulvered and thrilled as
the heart beneath 1t pulsed to the
glad voic IS.
Out beneath the golden stars the
poet stopped to kiss the lips he
loved, and TIE lily, broken and
and bruised, fell to the ground.
And creeping to her cellar, a
beggar girl, cold, tired, hungry,
with pain of body, mind and soul,
saw the fair lily glistening in the
moonlight: she picked it up, and
looking into it's depths, she saw a
picture of her childnood's home.
Into her hardened eyes came
tesrs, and each tear held face: the
mothers face, the fathers face faces
of loved ones long dead. And out
of her heart she said to the lily:
"Oh! Lily, thou art 50 fair, so
pure. | knew you long ago in my
country home; have you message
for sinner like me?n
And the golden-tongued lily
seemed to sing to her:
"Oh! weary one, the Christ of the
lilies is your Christ. [ sing to you
of rest and peace at home"
And kissing the lily the beggar
slept iD rags upon the cellar floor
ana dreamed of home.
In the morning they found there
a broken, faded lily.
In the morning they found there a
dead girl, with smile on her face.
Her dust fell into the earth.
And from the earth an angel joined
the lily bearing host of God.

IT has now developed that Prof.
Crook, the guileless Chicago man,
who, according to bis own declara-
ton, never kissed nor Rugged a wo-
man, is not only in love, but is en-
gagged to be married. Love affects
different people in different ways,
but the Professors innovation of a
kissless love is not likely to prove
contagious. A cross between Crook
and Hobson would be a good one.

OUR Premium Phgton contest Is
over, and we are glad of it. The
HERALD has received all and more
from it than we expected or had any
reasonable ground to hope; to ask
more would be greedy. Our three
friends and contestants who were in
the lead, had done more work and
doubtless had more worry than the
phetou was worth, and we are glad
for their sakes that the end has
come, that they may rest. The
HERALD's premiums all go to the
right place. The reason of it is that
none but the right sort enter the
circle. With such candidates to
choose from, and fair ballot and
open count, the people could not 60
wrong if they would and would not
il they could. The next thing will
be something else, and not now
Miss Cherry Is none other than

of her sweetheart "Ikey," she has
been in retirement; but now that she
has new ph9ton she will doubtless
set out again and when she does, We
hope to hear from her.

THE ARSENAL PROPERTY.

The best suggestion we have heard
as to the final use and DISPOSE
ton of the Arsenal property, is for
the government to place a low
valuation upon the property and
by united effort among the people
seek to convert it into a. school.
Senator Carmack and Congress-
man Padgett are both interesting
themselves in the. matter, and both
are of the opinion that Congress
would be liberal as to price. Aud
with this as starter, the State
might be induced to establish an
industrial and agricultural school
here, combining at the same time a
high school literary department.
The suggestion carries its own
argument with it, and the hope for
its ultimate contamination is not an
unreasonable one. 80 with prompt
earnest and united effort upon gu.
part, oar momentary disappoint'
ment may rebound to our great
good, after all.
E We could reasonably expect the
support of the entire Tennessee dele
cation in Congress, and the State
cannot spend money to any better
advantage tkan in establishing
industrial, mechanical and agricul
tural schools, with high school de-
partments.

Columbia people are not making
much fuss or complaint or objection,
because, as we have heard more
than one of them say 1--WE are not
scared" If they thought there was
any real danger of this proposition
being accepted, they would make
themselves beard in no uncertain
sounds. But the Board, almost to q
man, have so repeatedly and posi-
lively assured them, that they are
resting in quiet confidence that their
rights and interest and convenience
will be protected, not abridged or
interfered with.

RURAL DELIVERY.

The Nashville Banner. speaking
of the free rural delivery system,
says:
Possibly one of the greatest blessings
ever bestowed upon the rural people is
what is known as the rural free delivery
service, whereby the farmers and others
living in the country, who heretofore
have been obliged to go for miles to the
post Offices to receive their mail, now
have the mail delivered at their doors
every morning excepting Sunday holt
days not excepted. 1t places all of the
country people in immediate connection
with the outside world; it furnishes all
the daily papers, journals and periodi-
Gals as soon after the publication as it is
possible for the rapid mails to reach
them. They can dispatch registered
letters and secure money orders from
the rural carrier every day; thereby
avoiding the possibility of loss of money
by the mail being tempered with, or
robbed.
"This service is universally satisfac-
tory and is being established over the
country generally, but strange to say, it
is seemingly meeting with some opposi
tion, which evidently emanates from
some fourth.class postmasters whose
postofiices may be discontinued. The
service is much more satisfactory than
the old routine of fourth class post.
offices, where parties were obliged to go
for miles to receive their mail

yard room," as our dear, delightful
railroad friends would express it,
We are considering the proposition
of buying the latest improved Mer-
ganthaler type-setting machine "for
Columbia" Our idea is to buy it
and use it, but ask the Board of
Mayor and Aldermen to misappro-
pirate some of the peoples money
by paying for it. The HERALD
heretofore has been paying for
it's type and machinery and things,
itself; but that is because we
did not know any better. We have
been observing of late how other
corporations do, and we have OBJ
served that he who hath the gall to
ask, receiveth; and if any raid is to
be made upon the public treasury
we want our share. If the Board of
Aldermen will invest $500 of the
peoples money in said machine, the
HERALD will use it for them, pro-
vided the Board will assume all in
cideutsl damages to property or in.
divlduals growing out of libel suits,
or any other old thing the aforesaid
machine may do.

A SAFE advisor is the most useful
friend a man, woman or child can
have. But the biggest mistakes are
made sometimes in choosing ad-
visors. A man attains prominence
by some deed Of courage or accident
of fortune, and forthwith the cOun-
try hangs upon his words of advice,
ofttimes concerning things he knows
nothing about. Dewey, for instance!
A whole lot of historical hero wor-
shippers wanted to make Dewey
President, when really the old Salt
didn't know any more about the
business interests and affairs of this
country than Aguinaldo does. And
General Joseph Wheeler's address
before a New York Temperance
| Society is another notable instance.
General Wheeler is a good fighter,
and deserves all credit for his
patriotism and valor; but the best
part of his life as a civilian has
been spent IN chasing job. He is
windy, garrulous old man, General
Joe is; innocent to listen to, but dan
gerous to heed. He has been run.
ming of late with new made friends
in the East; corporation Colonies
and such like, and we fear he has
been inoculated with their deadly
and most insidious poison. Speak
F, ing of these trust combines, / 9 ad-
vises young men "to adapt them
selves to conditions as they find
them, not try to change them, be-
cause they can't do it," Fine advice
for a patriot and soldier to give!
Let your country be dominated by a
class. Let the people be trampled.
Let the laws of your country be
made to protect the corporation
and punish the individual. See
the anaconda of greed coil about and
strangle the republic your ancestors
established and bequeathed to you
as priceless heritage. See land
lordism grow, and the tenant system
of the old country fasten it's fangs
upon the land you love. See soul
less corporate beings work the life
and hope out of your neighbors and
friends, like galley slaves, and dole
out to them mere pittance of meat
and bread. See Gods creatures
starve, while these corporate crea-
lures of the law and the devil enjoy
the fullness Of the earth. Look with
patience upon the proud mien and
naughty air of purse proud pluto
Gratis. Look upon the millionaire in
his special car as he travels from the
new world to The old and back again
from one palatial home to the other,
and count the hungry horde who eat
of the crumbs that fall from his
table! Do this, young man, "but
dont try to change these condi-
tions, because you can't do it,
Audpb w
tions as you find them" Kiss the
hand that smites you and be
thankful to your masters for the
proud privilege of living at all. That
is the advice of General Joseph
Wheeler. Our advice is quite diff
ferent We would advise our young
men to vote these corporate mon
sters out of existence, if they can, and
, if they cannot, then to dynamite
them out of existence. For we had
rather see this country delCged with
blood, for litrle time, than to have
it pass absolutely and forever into
corpcrate control, dominated by
greed and avarice, sans justice, soul
or mercy.

CLOSES LONG AGREEMENT.
Important Deal Between st. Paul

Milwaukee, April 1.-The Milwau-

waukee & ST. Paul road has closed IA
999 year traffic agreement over the
Davenport, Rock Island & Northwest
ern. The Journals authority for the
statement is President A. j. EarIing, of
the ST. Paul road. The deal is said to
be one of the most important in years
made by that road.
The new line acquired by the com
pany extends for So miles from Gin

Moline. It is fully equipped with roll

is complete railway system in it,

there has been SO much talk recently.
The recent issue of new stock for
which arrangements have been made
by the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
road, is largely for the purpose of
providing funds to secure a shorter
route for the road from Chicago to
Kansas City.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul
road has, with the traffic agreement,
acquired the right to use the road
