One hurried cash with hasty knife

But feIess flesh and bone.
Nothing but lifeIess flesh and bone
That could not do ILL.,
And yet feared him all the more
For lying there still:
There manhood in his look
That murder could not kill!
And, 10! the universal air
Seemed lit with CHASTITY fame;-
Ten thousand thousand dreadful eyes
Were looking down in blame
with breathess speed, like a soul in chase

There time TO dig grave
Before the day began
In a lonesome wood with heaps of leaves
| hid the murdered mani
And all that day read in school,
But my thought otherwhere
AS soon as the midday task was done
In secret [ there
And mighty wind had swept the leaves
And still the corpse was bare!
Then down I cast me on my face
And first began to weep.
For knew my secret then was one
That earth refused to keep
Or land sea, though he should he
Ten thousand fathoms deep.
SO wills the fierce avenging sprite,
Till blood for blood atones!"

The Lambasting Of Rockefeller,
New Orleans States.
It seems to US that Mr.. John
D. Rockefeller lis getting more
than is coming to him" in the
way of excoriation and attack.
If he is a rascal there are others
of whom he is merely the type,
and it is about time that they
should be subjected also to the
rough handling he has received
and is still receiving in the press
and the pulpit of the country.
It can safely be said that the
Standard Oil magnate is not the
only pebble on the beach in need
of a thorough polishing by those
who are now engaged in the
crusade against the thievery of
corporations. These facts stand
ont clearly in the light of a recent
sermon delivered by Rev. New
ton NJ. Hall of Springfield, Mass,
who declared that common
honesty is the great moral issue
Of the day. He contended that
the country is cursed by two
groups of dishonest men, one
who make use of official position
to steal from the public, and the
other those who are interested
in large corporations and devote
themselves to plundering in
dividuals. These men, he said.
have gained mastery of the af-
fairs of the nation because we
have established lone standard
for private life and another
standard for business life."
Selecting the case of Mr.. Rookie
teller to illustrate this point the
minister said:
He is q man who is a model
Christian in his private life,
faithful to church obligation,
devoted to his family. irreproach-
able in his habits. He leads
family prayers daily in his home.
He has brought up his family in
the nurture and admOnition of
the Lord, and yet such a con-
sentative journal as Harper's
Weekly has just printed an
article, entitled Why the Public |
Hates Mr.. Rockefeller ard the
writer of that article specifies
With names and dates and docu-
mentary. proof instances in
which Mr.. Rockefeller. through
his great company, has robbed
wid0ws and children, and be-
haved more like a pirate than a
Christian We are told by Mr..
Hall that Mr.. RockefeIler's
theory of life is not only false to
morality, it is dangerous to
society. A man cannot be a
in his home and a
pirate in his business"
The Rev. Mr.. Hall admits.
that Mr.. Rockefeller is
no more guilty than a thousand
others. which is quite true;|
hence it does not seem quite
right to hold him up before the
and hammer him all the
while the other fellows are
the punishment they
deserve.
