The Brave at Home y

The maid who binds her warriors
sash,
With smile that well her pain dis
sembles,
The while beneath her dropping lash
One starry tear-drop hangs and
trembles-
Though Heaven alone records the
tear,
And fame shall never know the
story,
Her heart has shed a drop as dear
As e'er bedewed the field of glory.
The wife who girds her husbands
sword,
Mid little ones who weep or won
der,
And bravely speaks the cheering
What though her heart be rent
asunder,
Doomed nightly in her dreams to
hear
The bolts of death around him rat
tie,
Hath shed as sacred blood as e'er
Was poured upon a field of battle
The mother who conceals her grief,
While to her breast her son she
presses,
Then breathes few brave words and
brief,
Kissing the patriot brow she
blesses,
With no one but her secret God
To know the pain that weighs up
on her,
Sheds holy blood as e'er the sod
Received on Freedoms field of
honor!

THE HOME CIRCLE
The Lost Chord.~

Seated one day at the organ,
was weary and i'll at ease;
And my fingers wandered idly
Over the noisy keys.
/ know not what / was playing.
Or what was dreaming then;
But / struck one chord of music
Like the sound of a grand amen.
1t flooded the crimson twilight
Like the close of an angels psalm,
And it lay on my fevered spirit
Like a touch of infinite calm:
1t quieted pain and SORROW
Like love o'ercoming strife,
It seemed harmonious echo
From our discordant life.
lit linked all perplexing meanings
Into one perfect peace,
And it trembled away into silence,
As if it were loath to cease.
l sought, but I seek it vainly,
That one lost chord divine,
Which came from the soul of the or

And entered into mine.
1t may be that deaths bright angel
Will speak in that chord again;
1t may be that only in heaven
shall hear that grand amen.

Scotch Wit.

A drunken Irishman was once
lodged in the cell of a Scotch-coun-
try police station, when he made a
tremendous noise by kicking the cell
door with his heavy hob-nailed boots.
The constable who had charge of
the police station, going to the cell
door, opened it little, and said,
MAN, ye micht pit aft yer butts, an
I'll gle them bit rub, so that yell
be respectable-like when ye come up
afore the bailie the morn"
The prisoner, fattered at the re-
quest, at once complied, and saw his
mistake only when the constable shut
the door upon him, saying, coolly,
"Ye can kick AVA moo, my man, as
lang as ye like."-Epworth Herald.

Among the Mountains of North Carolina

Among the Mountains of North Carolina
The following letter by Benjamin
Hammond, of Fishkill, New York
appears in the Chicago Farm, Field
and Fireside, and will doubtless be
of interest to some Progressive
Farmer readers:
1t is not generally realized that the
amount of money invested in flower
growing under glass in the United
States approximates fifty million OF
dollars. Annually the Society OF
American Florists meets in conVen-
ton; this year the meeting place was
at AshevilIe, n. c., and over 400 peo-
pie assembled from various sections
to attend it. The country is set on
a steep slant, the valley deep and
shady-but is one of dense tree
growth, the hillsides being covered
with hard wood. The rhododendren
and laurel are thick, from the bot
tom to the mountain tops.
Asheville is an active business cen
tre, over two thousand feet above
sea level. Biltmore estate stretches
away in the distance, the great gray
stone chateau looming up and visi-
bic from all sides. In this extensive
domain acre after acre has been
planted with white pine, and as one
goes along the miles of well con-
structed road, it is noticeable how
the forest trees have carefully been
trimmed, the limbs cut with a sharp
saw close up to the trunk, no knobs
left to rot off, but a clean cut which
may be healed with a new growth of
bark.
Corn in this region grows light.
Cabbage patches are around all the
native cabins. Fruit does not show
up well; apples are small and rather
tasteless.
DR.. G.. P. Amber, a physician of
Asheville, delivered an address in
connection with stereopticon views
on the value and necessity of a great
Appalachian Forest Reserve. The
States interested had each enacted
laws granting the rights of acqui-
sition to the national government.
This lecture created so much interest
that party of eleven was formed to
go to the summit of Mount Mitchell.
the highest peak of the Great
Smoky mountain range. It was a
twelve mile climb from "Old Man
TysOn's" on mule back, over a path
way of rock, fallen trees, and always
through forest and bushes until the
height of 6,71O feet was reached,
when in a thick mist we faced a
twelve foot shaft monument made
out of zine. 1t marked the grave of
the man who lost his life in explor-
ing the mountain. The inscription
reads: "Rev. Elisha Mitchell, D. D.,
who after being 80 years a Profess
Sor in the University of North Car
olina, lost his life in the scientific
exploration of ffhis mountain, in the
Oath year of ais age, June 81, 1857.

The Country Boy.


men were reared on farms. They arr
successful because they had Spar
tan training in industry, frugality
self-reliance, and sincere honesty
The strength of their training was
the simplicity of it. We have never
seen these facts better stated than in
a Ieafet on "The Country Boy" by
Professor Emmert, and published by
Juniata College:
"No boy need ever regret that he
was born in the country and reared
on a farm. He may lack the keen
ness and polish of his city cousin. He
may be embarrassed by his own awk-
wardness and feel that he is at a
hopeless disadvantage in the race
but the country boy has the advan-
tage of a wider range of practical
ideas. From the very first his little
services are in demand. He becomes
at once a part of the force that is
making for home comfort and pros
perity, and feels the independence of
one who is helping to support him
self and add to the general store.
''The country boy is likely to re-
gard his life as one of drudgery, and
such it may be if he loses interest
in his surroundings or is pressed
with a continued round of duty.
There is something heroic in the
country boys struggle with the ele-
ments. Rain and snow and sleet on
ly brace his courage. The garnering
of the crops, the housing and feed
ing of the domestic animals, the
gathering and preparation of the
winter fuel, give a purpose and zest
to his toll. Then there is the long
tramp, sometimes of miles, to the
district school; lessons learned be-
fore and after long hours of labor.
Is it any wonder there are keen wits
developing all outside of graded sys-
TENS and in defiance of pedagogical
order? 1t is the intensity of purpose
with which the mind acts under the
influence of vigorous health and the
conscious value of time that accounts
for these results. So from the farm
is being supplied a stream of active
world workers,-men not afraid to
do their duty and bubbling over with
energy and ambition.
"FrOm the little red schoolhouses
come into our colleges and schools
of higher grade, aspiring youth.
Some are seeking an education as a
means of emancipation from the
drudgery of labor. Others come with
a true thirst for knowledge. They
find their way into the professions
and business world, but few go back
to the farm. What an ideal thing it
would be for young men trained in
science and holding the key to ma
ture's mysteries and beauties, to go
back to live broad, cultured, and
quiet lives in the midst of the most
delightful environment in which God
has ever placed man!

the merchant prince or the success

sponsive he becomes to every sugges-

In Touch With Labor,

(From the Gas Belt Labor News.)
Indiana is justly proud of Mr.. Fair

strongly embued with the belief that it
was the duty of senator to give the
best thought and energy he possessed
to the affairs of the nation. When he
entered the senate he gave up his law
practice entirely and laid aside every
thing that would divert his thoughts
from the work he had assumed; hence
We find him working between sessions
nearly as hard as during the sessions
He has a large, well disciplined brain
that is not swayed by impulses. Cool
elaboration precedes all bis acts. y

Fool No One,

Those Democratic leaders who keep
bowling about repeating the protective
tariff as plan to strike blow at the
trusts are not fooling anybody. Every
body knows that they simply prefer
free trade with free soup houses Tor
the laboring men, and they only make
use of the trust scare argument be-
cause they have failed with others.
All know how, that in England, where
they have no protective tariff, trusts
thrive even better than In this coun-
try. They also know that some of the
greatest trusts in this country. such
as the coal oil trust, are not protected
by the tariff. The people are too well
informed to be fooled by their talk

Loss of Property of 100000.

loss to property is estimated about
