Give me three grains Of corn, mother
Only three grains of corn;
At will keep the little life have

ara dying of hunger and cold, mother
Dying of hunger and cold;
And half the agony of such death
Az lips have never told.
1t Aas gnawed like a wolf at my heart,
mother
"A wolf that is fierce for blood;
All the livelong day, and the night be-
side,
Gnawing for lack of food.
dreamed of bread in my sleep, mother,
And the sight was heaven to see;
j awoke with an eager, furnishing lip,
But you had no bread for me.
How could I look to you, mother
How could l look to you
For bread to give your starving boy,
When you were starving, too?
For read the famine in your cheek,
And in your eyes so wild,
And felt it in your bony hand,
As you laid it on your child.
The Queen has lands and gold, mother
The Queen has lands and gold,
While you are forced to your empty
breast
A skeleton babe to hold
"A babe that is dying Of want, mother
AS am dying now,
with a CHASTITY look in it's sunken eye,
And famine upon it's brow.
What has poor Ireland done, mother
What has poor Ireland done,
That the world looks on, and sees us
starve,
Perishing one by one!
DO the men Of England care not, moth
The great men and the high
For the suffering sons Of Erin's isle.
Whether they live or die?
Taere is many brave heart here, moth

Dying Of want and cold,
While only across the Channel, mother,
Are many that roll in gold;
There are rich and proud men there,
mother,
With wOndrous wealth to view,
And the bread that they fling to their
dogs tonight
Would give life to me and you.
Come nearer to my side, mother
Come nearer to my side,
And hold me fondly, as you held
My father when he died;
Quick, for l cannot see you, mother,
dy breath is almost gone;
Mother. dear mother! ere | die,
Give me three grains Of corn.

The Farmers High School.

Hon. Don. G. Summers of st.
Louis delivered an address at Dix
ON, Mo. the other day in which he
uttered the following interesting
thoughts. lie was speaking to the
young men aud woman:
II believe in IL high school for
the farmers son and daughtu-
an agricIural high school, where
the son is taught the underlying
principles of scientific farming;
where the farmers son may leHru
Orcharding, stock raising, scientif.
ic fertilizing and dairying, and
where the farmers daughter may
be taught home economy, scientific
poultry raising and sewing. There
should be farmers agricultural
high school in each county. Then
the son could return to the farm
with practical training and be Of
considerable more value to his
parents.
"Let me say TO you, my friends,
that when the legislature appro-
pirates money to endOw such in.
situations and the farmers contrib
ute to maintain them, the cry that
is being heard all over the United
States that the farmers son leaves
for the city when he is large enough
to be of some value 10 his parents,
will not be heard.
Let every county have its agri-
cultural high school, with it's three
school rooms and a working room.
Let the yOuug men and young
women earn their living while at
the country school by raising their
truck, poultry, dairy products and
the feed for the stock on the agri-
cultural farm on which the school
is located. Then will country life
be more enticing. The general
standard Of practical education
will be elevated and tho high
school brought to the country boy
and reach the masses as does the
city high school TO the city boy"

Reflection Of a Bachelor.

After a man gets to know
enough not to be married and have
lot of children he has already
done it.
The job of trying to keep a wo-
man happy all the time is nearly
as easy as inventing that flying
machine.
Heaven will be a terrible disap-
pointment to some women if any
body outside of their set is allowed
there
A woman's idea of an enemy is
one who laughs out loud when you
walk down the church aisle with a
new hat on.
1t is never too hot for a girl TO
think that going walking with a
man in the moonlight is good ex-
ercise for her complexion.

WANTS HER BETROTHED.
And She Sues His Relatives for In
terfering With the Marriage.

Sedalia. Mo-, Aug. 18.-Edward
Sweeney Of Clifton City and Miss
Loretta p. Wallace of this city were
to have been married at st. Pat
rick's Catholic church in this city
last Tuesday, but the brothers and
sisters Of Mr.. Sweeney objected to
his marriage, and forcibly prevent.
ed him from meeting his bride at
the altar.
AS a sequel to the interference
Of the bridegroom's relatives, Miss
Wallace to-day brought a suit for
500, 000damages in theCooper. coun-
ty court at Bonneville against Ellen
Burke, John Sweeney, and Den
mis- Sweeney, wealthy residents OF
Clifton City.
Miss Wallace, in her petition,
alleges that the defendants induced
Edward Sweeney, by unfair meas
ures, to rescind the marriage con-
tract; that when her betrothed
boarded Katy train at Clifton
City last Monday night TO come tC
Sedalia the defendants dragged him
from the train and forcibly took
him to their home and locked him
in a room and there compelled him
to drink whisky until he was in
such a condition that he was un-
able to act for himself; and that
the defendants are still restraining
him from keeping his contract ia
marry her.
The breaking off of the engage
ment and the damage suit have
caused a sensation in Cooper and
Pettis counties, all of the parties
to the suit being well known and
prominent.

rbe Confederate CENT.

There was only one complete oie
made for the purpose Of coming money
by the Confederate States of America
that for one cent piece, which was
made by Lovett, the Philadelphia en-
orayer. In 1861. After he had finished
the dies Mr.. Lovett found that he was
unable to send them to the persons
who had ordered the work done, ana,
becoming alarmed, he struck OH
twelve nickel cents and then carefully
secreted both coins and dies. FOR
twelve long years the engrayer KEEP.
bis secret. which was finally revealed
through an accident. One day In 1855
he went to the hiding place OF the rare
coins and selected one for pocket
niece and within the month passed IL
ont unknowingly TO Hazeltine, the
philadelphia restaurant keeper. This
man. knowing the piece to be Lovett
work sent 1t TO ]. c. Randall, the coin
collector After some little trouble
uazeltine and Randall succeeded ID
5uying the die, and from 1t they struck
hfty-ive copper pieces, twelve in silver
ana seven in gold. This accomplished
thew mutilated the die. and coin dealers
now hold Confederate cents Ut very
