The semi-weekly messenger., 1908-03-13

Didn't / suffer enough when you
turned away from me? Or do you
| believe that the person who suffers
in silence feels less pain than the
one who tells everyone OF his so--
rows? / have loved you SO dearly
. and I have suffered so much but
could never tell you before because
my heart was too proud and stub
born"
And now my eyes gifted with a
strange power were able to look in
to her heart. 1t looked strange in
there among roaring flames delicate
flowers were growing and withered
away. Once that heart bloomed for
me. And In this poor desert which
must at one time have been rich and
full of charm, | saw strange beings
move They looked like birds, but
their wings were broken and they
could not escape from the poisonous
odors which were trying TO catch
them.
| saw that / was the one whose
duty 1t should have been TO take
care of these flowers which were her
beautiful thoughts, but instead of
that | had lit the fire, and had turn
ed the serpents loose in this paradise.
/ had wanted to see if TIE birds
would defend themselvee, md wan
ed to watch the struggle in the t0c
tender heart | had thought that the
good must be strong enough TO over
come the evil, and | had not remen.-
bered that birds whose wings ere
broken can no longer fly, but are at
the mercy of the eyes of the serpent.
Because / had disliked to look any
longer at this struggle which | had
started myself | had despised her
and tried to forget her. Then ]
thought / was right, but today | dis
covered for the first time how cruel
| had been.
I felt the trembling of the tortur-
ed heart, and heard the cries of the
birds which could not escape, and
on cemore / felt the sad expression
in her eyes as she looked at me
when | told her to leave me forever.
| felt the trembling hand in mine,
the hand of helpless child, and
understood that / was more to blame
than she. and | cried together with
her.
Then the trian stopped and all of
a sudden it was bright sunlight. The
sun was high in the sky, larger and
more brilliant than | had ever seen
it, And when l looked around | saw
her whom | had once loved stand
ing before me unclaimed and with
open arms She seemed to me more
beautiful than ever, and her eyes
we're beaming, as she cried: Now
| am free, free through you, my be-
loved. See, the heavy chains have
dropped from us. The tears you let
fall into my heart extinguished the
fire, and ended my tortures. The
sun of your love has melted away
the sad memories. You have given
me, Lete, my beloved. Come to me
now, and let us together walk
through the golden gate"
Then I discovered that | stood
there free and unclaimed as she did,
and with cry of joy | rushed into
her arms.

Quite a Difference.

The News and Observer undertakes
10 show that the Southern's net re-
CeiptS for the last three months or
1897 were increased rather than di-
minished. under the passenger rate
enacted by the legislature Editor
Julian of The Salisbury Post, who was
d member of the legislature says:
I'VE happen to know, with Mr.. S. l..
Rogers of the corporation commission
as our authority that the figures pre-
sent the gross receipts. and not
the met" earnings, two very dissimi-
lar propositions.
From appearances it will be some
