"A little while and We shall not see me
And again a little while and We shall
see me-"
A little while with spirit all alone
To walk LIES rugged path with falter-
ing feet;
A little while to smother, sigh and
moan,
Doing hard duties by loves smile made
sweet;
Thus thou hast said, dear Lord-"a lit
tie while"
And then the everlasting sunlight of
thy smile.
What matter for the tears, or for the
thorns
The keen earth sorrows plant along
the way,
There is rest for every soul that
mourns
In the soft light of heavens Sabbath's
day;
Oh! wherefore droop when such dear
hopes beguile.
Look up. OH fainting soul, tits but a
little while.
A little longer toiIing hands, work on !;
A little longer lose the needed sleep,
We follow one whose feet these paths
have gone,
He soon will grant a slumber, restful
deep;
Free flow the fountains, green the gar
dens smile.
Well may we work and wait, It's such
"a little while!"
The promiser hath said twill not be
long;
That no continuing city here Is given,
The land of hope and happiness and
song,
Lies just before. where but the cloud
yelled river;
The waves of life SO crystalline and
clear,
The list'ning heart of faith can almost
hear.
Only a little while, we we'll can wait
And bear each loss and cross with
quiet heart,
While this sweet promise gilds the sad
dest fate,
And pours its balm upon the sorest
smart.
Thy patient lips. dear Lord. might all
most smile,
Breathing these simple words--"a lit
tie while"

CORONA COMPANY
 IN NEED OF MINERS
LARGE CONTRACT CLOSED YEs- TERpAY FOR MISSISSIPPI RIVER TRADE, WHICH WILL INSURE sTEAUY MINING ALL SUMMER.

Mir John R. Ryan. general agent of the Corona Coal and Iron Company, while in Birmingham yesterday. closed up a new contract for large tonnage of coal to be shipped down the Mississippi river. This contract, together with other busi- ness he has booked, will insure steady work for the mines of his company dur ing the entire summer.
 Mr. Ryan said that the Corona was taking on a lot of new mines and that the company could give employment to 300 more miners. The mines are being developed on big scale. Three mines recently opened are being pushed day and night. MT. Ryan said the company would continue to push its work until its coal output reaches l000, 900 tons.
 Many new houses for miners are being completed and our company can take care of all the men that come to us," said Mir. Ryan. "The Pittsburg people who are in control of the Corona are determ- ined to do all that money can do to de- velope their property to it's fullest capa- city. Their Mississippi river business in sures them a regular car supply. It is the scarcity of cars that proves such a drawback to other mines."

----.t- ALBAN'S DEATH HURTS FRENCHMAN
HE HAD WORKED FOR YEARS TO
 SECURE CONCESSIONS IN CO
 LoMRlA, AND NOW ALL IS LOST { TO THEM. lu1.

New York, January e4.--After two years of labor under the hot sun. under the miasmic streams of Panama, seeking for gold, then obtaining valuable conoes- sion for pearl fishing in the bay of Pana- ma, Count Zerge De Moriny, young nobleman of France, has returned on the steamship Alliance from Colon and learned of the news of the death of Gen. Carlos Alban. on whose living the con- cession perhaps depended. s
 The young count has cast his, lot with those t1slred to hardship and pioneer work, and dusing the two years spent in Colombia he has developed two gold min ing companies He considered his pearl fishing concession the coup of his life. On Tuesday of last week he received the final papers in the transaction from General Alban, who assured Count De Moriny that he might proceed at once to the Uni ted States and the result would be cabled to him.
 "Now." said the count. where I stand I do not know. The concession which is in operation for fifteen years Is worth not less than s100,000 year. and the death of Alban, who was the backbone of the government in the department of Pana- ma, may result in an overthrow of the ruling powers in Bogota. shall be fearful of the result until hear of favorable ac- tion. especially when the country is in a state of revolution"
