no element OF speculation or expert
ment in the migration. The settlers
have full information respecting the

THE OLD, SWEET FIELDS.

YOnder, where the valley is
Where the rivers rush
Welcome" sings the mOckin bird,
"Howdy" pipes the thrush
And to the host o them we say,
We've come to spend holiday"
Sure, that birds sweet singing
Sounds familiar still;
Valley voices bringing
Echoes from the hill.
That yoire-we heard II far away
Sweet calling to child at play.
And there are wild, sweet joys there,
Where barefoot fellows roam
Just as Of old. the boys there
They drive the cattle home
And some one near the lcbnrS

Recalling In strange faces
Youths passion and its pain
But, more than all, its joy-that seems
An echo In an old mans dreams,

Commons Is the best-dressed assembly

The House, too. Is much more pune

Representative Adamson of Georgia re-
Gently told a story which illustrated true
good fellowship. He had been campaign
ing in Georgia on foot and was twenty
five miles from home. 1t became neces-
sary for him to go home and he tried to
secure conveyance, but all the teams
were busy on the farms. Finally he went
to a man whom he knew very well and
said:
Bill, have to get home, and want a
rig TO take me. You've got to get me
one"
