The air was dead

The AR was dead
That afternoon we lost the trail
Where calcined skeletons were laid
In driftcd graves that no man made;
But wild winds were the sexton's spade
And from his brazen throne ocrhead
The fierce sun Sowcd the smoking sands
With fire, wide poured from unseen hands
\ vast hot oven seemed 10 be-
Far as our parboiled eyes could sec;
Nor shadow of a cloud was there
Nor insect famed the brathless air;
Nor anything of flesh and bone
Save us and ours. But where the gray
Hot scora i'll dead burrows lay.
A 1.-the. fugacious. lizard prone
Fared in the incandeScent dust
His mail that erStwhIe dazzling shonc
Was turned to the dull hue Of rust
A shoreless of restless sand
Whose bounds our eyes had vaiuly sought
A waveless sea of blighted land
That God Himself had long forgot
Apparent on our wondering view,
A mirage of the desert grew;
And where the sky s hot rim shut down
Through dancing air-waveS sombrouS brown,
There. shorcward tossed lmpd sea
Greengrt hut unconfined and free;
And. stretching down along the main
Were spectral cities of the PLAIN;
And lofty spires, and mosques and towers,
Looked down on rare arcadian bowers
And ne er old Babylon the fair,
Hung stranger gardens in the air.
Hopeless beyond our feeble reach
The sobbing blue waves Tapped the beach,
FAINT on the ear methought heard
a pulsing stream, the song of bird
Saw billowng grasses bending low.
Swept by shadows that change and grow
That change and grow. at last. to find
Some wayward Pigment of the mind
To lure us. disappointed. where
Hope dies victim to despair
With lcsseung strength we cried aloud,
And from the desert S incubus,
Like ghostly babblings from shroud,
Came our own voices back to us.
Our horses spent and mad with thirst,
Saw, saw, the shimmering tide
An ocean flowing strong and wide
Neighed pitiouS like Il human wall
When hearts stung and helpless fal,
Sank one by one and. lauguorous died.
The most to lose. and vet thei first
SO waxed the DAYS. and nights grim iroTn
Fell aminous and lowering down
And closed a life's most bitter day.
For ne 'er creeps twilights witchery,
Der the dry floor of that dead sea
Paved with ten thousand years of clay;
But sudden as a blown out light.
Falls the still curtain Of the night;
Aud when the stars break into view,
They seem to scorch the darkness through,
And clinging TO the broiling flesh,
The veStments sting the nerves afreSh;
With igneous venom that the air,

The Sergeant's Story
SSSSSSSSSSScoS oSSSScSSScSScS

If hope were kind or fate denied,
Our pack, of all their line the PRIDE
UnaSked they gave saGaclouS love,
True a pledge of heaven above.
These dumb companions of our stress
Crawlcd al our feet with mute caress,
And nervecss in the desert S breath
Drank thence the lethal draught Of death.
All died save one whose royal breed
Once coursed the moores of ancient Tweed,
And guarded flockS on hcathcred plains,
These lived again in his strong veins;
For days he led the famished pack
Der wilds unmarried by human track;
His will the hell of thirst o'erpowered,
His tireless feet the wastes devoured;
Reason or iustinct-boh seemed there,
As, nosing the mephtic air, ~,
When stars were paling in the night
He shuffled, whimperng from our sight.
Ghost-ike our last friend went away,
A shadow through dawn's misty gray;
And straight the phantom course was laid,
Towards time-wor upheaved grade,-
A shard of rib from Mother Earth
Long sprung before the .Judean birth;
Where, over the eroded ledge,
Were mats of woven brake and sedge;
And, from the hitber shoulder S scarp
OF crumpled rock OF angles sharp.
Poured whipping forth fresh the dawn,
a spring, and pure as Helicon.
But purbind eyes no longer sought
What oft had disappointment brought;
And no man cared in his distress,
What lay beyond. a league OF less:
For hope had passed nor left behind
ray, to light the glimmering mind.
We only saw the growing gray
OF morn, and dreamed of those sweet things
That memory to the dying brings:
The trysts of youth the spangled hills
OF yiolets and daffodils:
The school boy lettering by the way,
The oft told tale the lover
I'm birchcn groves oil whispering leaves,
And all the happiness of yorc,
That once was ours but ours no more.
But when abIaze, the risen sun
Had scarce his dreaded work begun,
The collie s eager bay was heard
And our dead VEINS TO life were stirred;
And faint was watt the troopers cheers,
The shoutingS of the muleteers.
And valorous Carlo led the van
As once before he led the pack
Ger wastes unmarried by human track,
To where we ekcd life s little span.
Full well they rode That morn free spurred,
With loosened rein savours came;
AS once the bugle's call they heard
And rode through CORY fields to fame;
These who had mourned our hapless fate
Worn victims OF the desert s hate
O., good canteenl Nor Rhone bred vine
Fer shed IFS blood so rich as thine; s.r
a draught O. God. and such draught,
For very Joy we wept and laughed;
We shook or clenched hands at the sky,
Our only shroud if we should die;
And life came back feeble spark,
But great light, when all was dark.
Where up yon hill the brown path creepS.
To listen TO the nurmurlng stream;
There Carlo faithful Carlo sleeps.
sleep profound, perchance to dream;
There first the mornings purpling rays
Guilds his rude mound with radiant light
There last the lingering glory stays
To bid the fading world Good Night;
Where he has gone the gathered host
That fills the dumb brutes Hall Of Fame
Will find his own they loved the most.

TOBACCO SUIT.
BurIey Society Holds W. T. Ar.
mold to Court For Selling
His Pooled Tobacco.

The suit of the Burley Tobacco So
ciety against w. T. Arnold, of Brum-
field, that was brought up for trial in
Judge Coulter's court few days ago,
has been postponed until the next
meeting of quarterly court which is
the fourth Monday in November
The Burley Tobacco Society sues
Mr.. Arnold for breach of contract. 1t
is alleged that Arnold pooled his to-
bacco, thereby contracting not to sell
it, but that he did sell it to the damage
of the pool.
Mr.. Arnold. however, contends that
the pool broke its contract with him
thereby releasing him from obliga-
tion
One of the various instances which
Mr.. Arnold cites of breach of con-
tract is in the matter of the warehouse.
The warehouse, under the contract was
to be ready ia a certain time. 1t was
not ready, then, he alleges, nor was it
ready until long time thereafter.
A good deal of feeling has been
caused among tobacco raisers by suits
of this kind, and even the strongest
pool men are serious in their criticism

society.-Danville Messenger.

GADDIE'S GIFTS
TO THE FARMER.

Dr. d. w. Gaddie, the modern Moses,
was fished from the bull-rushes on Val
| ley Creek by the Republicans and
nominated for Congress in opposition
to Hon. Ben Johnson, the present
member Of the House from this dis
trict. Gaddie is the greatest find the
Republicans have made since the dis
covery of Per Diem Per Day Debo,
better known as Sleepy Bill.
Here are few things the Doctor is
going to give to the farmer, free gratis,
provided he is elected)
Gift No. l.-Gaddie's Fertilizer, the
ingredients of which is sand and coal
ashes, and is highly recommended to
grow broom-sage and sassafras bushes
in abundance. This fertilizer will be
of great help to the farmer, as the
above articles are very scarce in this
district. This alone should make him
many votes.
Gift No. 2 -Gaddie's Patent Plough,
most wonderful implement. This
plough is guaranteed to break up fifty
acres of ground day without any
thing hitched to either end. All the
mule will have to do will be to Craze
on the product of the Doctors famous
fertilizer, and the farmer sit on the
fence and white and take life easy,
while this wonderful plough does the
rest. This implement can be had lin
the event Of his 'election) by calling at
the Agricultural Department, wash
ington, ID. c., and claiming same.
Gift No. 3.-Gaddie's Little Early
Risers--they have DeWitts skinned a
block. This pill will have the farmer
up before day and work him eighteen
hours out of tia twenty-four in order
to fatten the Trusts, and impoverish
himself, while the Doctor is drawing
81, 800 per year for looking after the
poor farmers interests. He is relying
on this wonderful pill to work up some
enthusiasm in his own behalf before
November 8.
Gift No. 4.-Gaddie's Pink Pills for
Pale People. Now, my dear farmer,
you should buy barrel VI these pills,
for when Gaddie and the Republican
party gets through with you, you will
certainly need something to restore
you and keep life intact. The COM
pound of this wonderful pill is little
dough-ball-the kind you catch
suckers with-varnished over with a
little polk-berry juice to make them
palatable.
Now, Mr.. Farmer, after all these
blessings being promised you, if you
should need little rain to help out
the fertilizer, call on Gaddie.

A CAMPAIGN LIE.

gratifying and valuable to me.
He made a careful and exhaustive
study of the law and discovered
some of the Jokers with which
Aldrich Republicans Patron
Saint had mutilated it.
Of course, he and l, and every
other Democrat voted against that
iniquitous Payne-Aldrich Tariff
Bill which the bill removing the
tax from leaf tobacco became an
amendment.
In that the friends of the to-
bacco grower follows the example
of our leader, Champ Clark, and
all other true Democrats. We
tried to make this bad Tariff bill
better by amendment, but we
never did and never could patch
the old thing up sufficiently to
make it acceptable to either the
Democratic side of the House or
the people of the country.

PROF. TANNER
Takes Prominent Part In Teach
ers Meeting At West Point
Reads Good Paper

West Point, KY, Oct. 26th. - Prof.
Tanner, of Cloverport, made SPLEEN I'D
talk upon the Dangerous Tendencies OF
our School Methods. The Editor of the
Southern School Journal made a special
request that he be permitted to pub
lish Prof. W. II. Sprigg's poem. The
most amusing feature of the meeting,
was the contest to decide who was the
best looking teacher present. A COM
mittee was appointed to bring the can
didates to the platform, aud face the
audience. The beauty class consisted
of Prof. Pussy, of Meade at the head of
the class, Prof. Board, Prof. Sprigg,
Prof. Pilkenton, Prof. Sobbins, with
Prof. Tanner at the foot of the class
After most spirited contest, the palm
and prize was awarded to Prof. Pussy,
whose magnitude completely overshad-
owed the others. The beaten candid.
ates are pluming themselves, that if
they are lacking in quantity, they can
toe the mark with Prof. Pussy in quail
ity.
The American Publishing Co. gave a
dictionary tc the most popular teacher,
Prof. Pussy, and school library 60 Miss
Masden, the most popular lady teacher.
