HER ROSK JAR.
BY H. B. C.
When in the radiant June,
We gathered the roses, soon
Into my heart the breath
Of their infinite sweetness came.
Now, my hopes are like them
Withered, too, but the death
Of the roses of memory
Leave no sweetness 'behind for me.
THE FARMER.
The writer thinks, the poet sing's,
The craftsmen fashion wondrous things,
The doctor heals, the lawyer pleads,
The miner follows the precious leads,
Bttt this or that, what'er befall,
The "Farmer he must feed them all.
The merchant he may buy and sell,
The teacher do his duty well,
Rut men may toil through busy days
Or men may stroll through pleasant
ways
From king to beggar, what'er befall,
The Farmer he must feed them all.
The farmer's trade is one of worth,
He's partner with the sky and earth,
He's partner with the sun and rain,
And no man loses for his gain,
Ami men may rise and men may fall,
Bat the Farmer he must feedihem all.
The farmer dares his mind to speak,
He has no gift or place to seek,
To no man living need he bow ;
The man who walks behind the plow
Is his own master, what'er befall,
And king or beggar he feeds us all.
SOME BAY OF II AYS.
NORA PERRY (MASSACHUSETTS, I&4I.)
Some day, some day of days, thread
ing the street,
With idle, heedless ipace,
Unlooking for such grace,
I shall behold your face !
Some day, some day of days, thus may
we meet.
Perchance the sun may shine from
skies of May,
Or winter's icy chill
Touch whitely vale and hill ;
What matter? I shall thrill
Through every vein with summer on
that day.
Once more life's perfect youth will all
come back,
And for a moment there
I shall stand fresh and fair
And drop the garment, care ;
Once more my pefrfect youth shall
nothing lack.
I shut, my eyes now, thinking how t'will
1 oe.
How face to face, each soul
Will slip its long control,
Forget the damsel dole
Of dreary fate's dark, separating sea.
And glance to glance, and hand to
hand in greeting.
The past with all its fears,
Its silence and its tears.
Its lonely, yearning years,
Shall vanish in the moment of that
meeting.
An Agnostic's Creed.
To me, the most wonderful thing
in the world is thought the impal
pable, the invincible, the noiseless ;
the something that can neither be
seen, nor touched, nor heard, and
yet it is the greatest force so far as
we know. All these questions are
beyond ray mind; so I'm willing to
wait. I feel like a passenger ' on a
ship, unacquainted with the captain
or any of the officers, without know
ing the port the ship left, and without
havintr the slightest idea as to the
harbor to -which it is going. If it
goes down in mill ocean I shall not
be surprised. It it lands on tairer
shores, bluer skies, I shall be rejoiced.
But whatever it does. I intend to do
my best to have a pleasant voyage,
and get along as well as I can with
the other passengers. Robert G.
Ingersoll.
A New Platform.
Sometimes there is a good deal of
common sense spoken in jest. At
the late Democratic County Con
vention in Edgecome county, Dr. C.
L. Killehrew, as we learn irorh the
Southerner, resolved himsell into a
committee ot one on platlorm and sub
mitted the following:
"Platlorm of the unterrified Demo
cracy of Edgecombe county.
That each farmer raise his own
supplies of corn, meat and hay.
That there is no such thing as
over production, and that every
farmer bring some product to sell
everv time he comes to town, or he
must not be allowed to carry any
thing back.
Cotton and tobacco must be a
secondary consideration and only
planted as a surplus crop, believing
that by adopting this plan every
farmer will put himself in a position
to have some voice in pricing his
commodities, each man running his
own sub-treasury, getting the benefit
of unlimited silver coinage when it
comes."
The Southerner remarks that this
platform would would have been
unanimously adopted if it had been
submitted to a vote. It may be said
that while there is not much politics
in it there is lots of sense.
Happy Homes.
Thousands of sad and desolate homes
have been made happy by use of "Rose
Buds," which have proven absolute
cure for ithe following diseases and their
distressng symptons: Ulceration, con
eeston and falling of the womb, ovar
ian tumors, dropsy of the womb, sup
pressed menstruation, rupture at child
birth, or any complaint originating in
diseases ot the reprodnctive organs ;
whether from contagious diseases here
ditary, tight lacing, overwork, excesses
or miscarriages. One lady writes us
that after suffering for ten years with
leucorrheaor whites, that one applica-
tionentirely cured her, and further
more, she suffers no more during the
menstrual period. It is a wonderful
regulator. "Rose Buds" are a simple
and harmless preparation, but wonder-
ful in effect. The patient can apply it
; herself. No doctors' examination ne
cessary, to winch all modest women,
especially young unmarried ladies se
riously object. From the first applica
tion you will feel like a new woman.

Some of the demands of the Ocaia ;
platform can be found in the platform ,
of the North Corohna Democrats, as !
well as that ot the Georgia Demo
crats ; but they are only such as
command liberal Democratic support
outside the Alliance. In other words,
they are Southern Democratic, and
not stnedy Ocala demands. The
undemocratic demands of the Ocala
series, which good Democrats
fight, are those for the Sub-Treasury
scheme and government ownership of
railroads and telegraphs ; and those
were not included in the North Caro
lina and Georgia platforms. Colum

Kinston, T. M. Crudup of Kittrell,
J. S. Hall of Raleigh, and, E- R.

A sensation was created in Kansas
when ex-Congressman Kelley left the
Republican party to join the People's
party. Now ex -Congressman Phil

dently these old Republicans leaders
think the People's party in Kansas
is very much alive.
Representative Busev, ot Illinois,
who defeated Joseph G. Cannon two
years ago, and found the task easy
because of Cannon's disgusting speech
in the Fifty-first Congress, recently
wrote a letter to h:s constituents tel
ling them that he would not run
again. But they went right ahead
and renominated him, and he may
have to defeat Cannon for the second
time.
Gov. Hogg, of Texas, is stumping
the State in a frantic effort to secure
another nomination which would, of
course, be equivalent to a second
term. But he is having a hard time.

a Governor a second term : but Gov.

Mr. C. E. Pearce returned from
Tarboro Tuesday where he went to
identify one Jones alias Joel Hudson,
who, in the fall of 1890, forged a
voucher on N. A: Sinclair, then
County Superintendent of Public ;In-
struction, for $90, which was dly
paid by Treasurer Troy. Hudson
had iust fleeced the Superintendent
of Public Instruction of Sarfipson
county for S10S in a similar way, and
from the best we can learn he sys
tematically carried on his nefarious
business in Pitt, Johnston and Edge
combe counties ever since, but?was
caught at last in Tarboro last week
while presenting the countv i reasur-
er's check to the bank there for $75,
secured on a forged voucher to which
he confessed at the time, and threw
himself on the mercy of the Court.

The following interesting letter
from President Polk to the chairman
of the executive committe of North
Carolina, was published in The
Economist last week. It needs no
explanation :
May 31, 1892.
Hon. S. B. Alexander, president
executive board North Carolina
State Alliance.
uear Sir and Brother : Having
learned that your executive board at
its recent session Raleigh, N. C,
expressed its dissatisfaction with the
attitude of the Progressive Farmer in
its rast preceding issue toward the
People's party, I hereby tender the
resignation of that paper as the official
organ of the State Alliance of North
Carolina.
While it will remain as true and
lfcyal to Alliance organization and its
principles as it has ever been, it can
not and will not be circumscribed in
its advocacy of the methods which
only can bring relief to our suffering
people, and which have been so
overwhelm ingly indorsed by them.
In thus severing its official connec
tion with the State Alliance it in no
measure abates its allegiance to the
principles of our Order, and will ever
stand ready willing toextend its full
and hearty co-operation to all the
officers and the brotherhood for pro
moting and maintaining the principles
which we have espoused. Fraternally
yours, L. L. Polk,
Editor Progressive Farmer.

Senator Hoar Write in the .Juno Forum
on the "Reason for Republican Control,"
Going Over the Whole Ground That will
be Contested During the Campaign.
In his ai tide on the "Reasons for
Republican Control" an article out
lining the proper policy for the
Presidential campaign Senator Geo.
F. Hoar, who stands for the best tradi-'
tions and most vigorous policy
of . the Republican party, gives em
phasis to the renewed sectionalism, as
he is pleased to call it, of the South
ern Democrats, as shown in the action
of the majority in the present Con
gress. He writes in the June Fourm :
"Take the Democracy of the South
to-day. They are a sectional party,
based on sectional opinions, seeking
ascendency. They believe that you,
and those who think with you, and
those who are engaged in like employ
ments with yours, are monopol:sts and

roooers. 10 inem tire aesire to Keep
the currency sound and to keep finan
cial policy of the United States in
harmony with the other nations of the
civilized worid, is but a desire of
creditors and oppressors to impose
an undue burden upon the necks
of their debtors, and to make iil-gotfen
gains by extortion from the laboring
men of the South and West. They
desire in every particular to narrow
the just authority of the United States
to limit the jurisdiction of its courts,
to confine its liyislation within narrow
bounds, and to reassert and revive
the heresy of State rights. The man
whom in their hearts they most
applaud is the man who can accom
plish the overthrow of suffrage in the
North as they have accomplished it in
the South. The power which they have
usurped, though a minority in their
own section, they will gladly extend
by a like usurpation over the entire
country. And to accomplish that
end they are prepared to assume any
mask or disguise which they think
needful to delude the straightforward
simplicity of the people of North."
This is how Northern Republicans
regard you, white men of the South ?
Can any be found willing to do any
thing that will possibly help keep,
such a party in power. In North Caro
lina a vote for any Third party
nominee means simply this and can
accomplish nothing else.
They Can Orgunixe in 24 Hours.
The absence of a Republican State
ticket will, of course, weaken the Re
publican electoral ticket. They know
this but they hope to overbalance
this loss by the weakening of the
Democratic electoral ticket which
will come from a Third party elec
toral ticket. The same causes that led
to the great uprising in the State to
keep the St. Louis platform from
being placed in the Democratic State
platform will work to bring down the
I Third party electoral
vote to the
lowest notch. No electoral ticket,
running on a platform that the Omaha
convention will formulate on the 4th
of July, can poll any considerable
vote in North Carolina. It could,
however, poll enough to defeat the
Democratic electoral ticket in Jhe
State and to elect the Republican
electoral ticket if the Republican
party were in any sort of organization.
