In Reply to Burns.

\ man man, SAID Robert Burns,
For a that and a that"
But tho the song be clear and strong,
1t lacks a note for a that
The lOut who'd shirk his daily work.
Yet claim his wage and a that,
Or beg when he might earn his bread
Is rot a for a that.
If all who dine on honey fare
Were true ard brave and a that
And more whose garb IS holden gray"
Was fool and knave, and a that,
The vice ard crime that shame our time
Would fade ard fall, and a that.
And ploughmen be as good as kings,
Ard churls as earls for a that
You see yon braw~y. clustering sot,
Who swaggers, swears and a that,
Ard thinks because his strong right arm
Might fell ard a that,
That he's as Eoble. man for mar.
rs duke and lord AID a that,
He's but brute. beyond dispute,
And not man for a that
man may own large estate
Have palace. park and a that
And rot for birth. but honest worth
Be thrice a man for a that
And DO- aid herdiug on the muir.
Who beats his wife and a that;
BE rothing but a rascal boor.
Nor half a man for a that.
1t comes to this, dear Brother Burns
The truth is old. and a that
The rank is bur the guirea's stamp
The mans the gold for a that"
And tho you'd put the miuted mark
On copper, brass ard a that,
The lie IS gross, the cheat IS plain,
And will not pass for a that
For a that and a that
lis soul, and heart, and a that,
That makes the king a gentleman
And not his crown and a that;
Ard man with maan, if rich or poor,
The best IS he. for a that
Who stands erect in self respect
And acts the man for a that.

sorrow, temptation. sometimes weak
ness and failure, but always an earnest
looking forward. and an undying sense
Of duty. BY faith,'' was the guiding
principle of his life. He trusted in
God and feared not what man could
DO unto him.
Almost the first words OF his Psalms
strike the keynote of his characte ter
The Lord is my Shepherd, therefore
can lack nothing. From first to last
the Lord was David's Shepherd; in all
times Of danger and doubt and temp
tatton. His rod and HIS staff had never
failed him
When ne stood before the giant,
Fhen he fed from the madness of
sanl. when there was but step be-
tween him andFdeati,, when the pesti-
lence swept over his people, when he
was bowed down in shame and sor-
row for grieyous sin, when his punish

Do not forget that Tomorrow will
be Donation Day at the Home for In
curables, one of the most worthy char
table institutions In this city. It il
sustained almost wholly by the contri-
| buttons of those who sympathizc with
the unfortunate. It is the only insti-
tuition OF the kind in virgini,. It re-
ceives and cares for patients from all
parts of the State. Upon the payment
of the sum of $780,, a patient can be
admitted to the Home. and there given
such care. as he may require and home
as long as he shall live, with the assur-
ance of proper care in the event OF
death. The buildings OF the Home are
free from debt, but, owing to the me-
cessity of constant repairs. the per-
sonal attention required by the pa
TENTS. the increased cost of living and
the lack of sufficient endowment. the
managers OF this institution find it ex-
ceeGingiy difficult to make both ends
meet The buildings of the Home are
large enough to accommodate more pa
tents, but on account of the fact that
the Home is already taxed beyond its
pEssen, means, many pathetic appeals
eo- admission TO the Home have been
denied

lien Of Richmond from Judge ~. We
Saunders; Democratic candidate TOT
Congress from the Fifth District. or as
we might put 1t. the present and next
Congressman from that district. such
an expression, coming from 50 conser-
fvattve and frank a man as judge
Saunders, Is, indeed an optimistic mes
sage to Democrats all over Virginia.
There is no note of ver-confidence,
there Is no note of under-conhdence-.
but through 1t all rings reliant pc
lief In Democratic success.
Another fact is brought out by these
few lines, and that is that Judge
Saunders himself is leaving no stone
unturned In paving the way for his
success week after next Ever since
he returned from Oklahoma, near mid
summer. he has waged an unrelentinE
campaign In his own behalf. and by this
time must have nearly completed a.
thorough canvass Of the Fifth District.
AS he says in his letter, 1t Is wonder
that he is at home for once, but It did
not take him much more time to de-
clare that on the same evening he 1
would be "off again"
There is but one moral IN all this,
and 1t is that every Democrat in the
Fifth should initiate the ac-
,tivity. the energy, and the persistent
effort OF Judge Saunders, II this be
done. there Will be rolled up for the
Democratic standard bearer on the
sth day OF November q majority that

A CASH BUSINESS.

The dairyman has something to
sell for cash every day in the year
His daily cash receipts may not seem
very large to men who have been used
to grain farming or stock farming but
at the end OF the year his bank ac-
count will make a very good showing
along with that Of his neighbor who
farms on broader scale. Ready
money is greatly to be desired at all
times and the dairyman is more for
tunate in that respect than any other
farmer. Another thing in his favor
is that he is not subject to the market
fluctuations. The market for his
product can be fixed by himself If he
produces the right kind of milk and
butter. They are not affected by
panics in the wheat market or gluts
in the live stock market. He is al
ways able to tell almost to the dol
lar what his income will be and is
thus enabled to lay his plans and gov
ern his expenses accordingly.
