So the busy tongue rolled it
Till they got outside. !
When the crowd came across it
It never once lost it,
But tossed it, and tossed It,
Till it grew long and wide.
From a very sm all lie. sir,
It grew deep and high, sir,
Till it reached to the sky, sir,
And frightened the moon.
For she hid her sweet face, sir,
In a veil of cloud-lace, sir, , '
At the dreaded disgrace, sir;
That happened at noon.
This lie brought forth others,
Dark sisters and brothers,
And fathers and . mothers
A terrible crew;
And while headlong they hurried.
The people they flurried.
And troubled and worried,
VAs lies always do,
And so, evil boded.
This monstrous lie goaded,
Till at last it exploded
In smoke and In shame; -While,
from joud and from mire
The pieces flew higher,
And hit the sad liar
And killed his good name.

GOVERNMENT BY PARTY;
Government by the people was
the cherished hope of the Revolu
tionary heroes; it is the far-away
ideal of the citizen of the United
States" to-day and all but hope
less. In the beginning of this Re
public, there, were no parties, the
population was divided jnto pa
triots and tories. Now there art
some tories, few patriots and mil
lions of partisans. In the begin
ning the founders laid the plan of
a government in which every
citizen would think for himself
independently. To-day a few think
but vainly so far as the present is
concerned; a few others plan and
work, and the great majority con
form to the, plans and yieldto the
enorts pt tnar tew. l nis is gov
ernment by party.. It has taken
root in the United States, and sent
forth its branches' into national.
state, county, township and city
government, possessing all. A
legislature does not act automata
cally; a caucus is goverened by
the steering committee, selected by
party leaders not by 'the people.
So the predominant aim is party
preservation, not popular welfare.
The bestmeasure in the world will
fail if thy peopln do not make it
imperative. No act is passed be-
f its own virtue, but rather
because of ihg penalty to be suf
fered if it is not passed. Who will
etermine that a bill for the aboli-
ion of the liquor traffic shall be
passed? Not the bill itself, though
the necessity for it is as clear as
he merits of the bill ; not preach
ers, for they have no large politi
cal following; not a newspaper,
for a paper cannot kill and make
alive; but a steering committee,
which is supposed to know how
many votes will be lost, and how
many gained by the passage of
such a bill. This is the whole
secret of our government. So long
aS a party can carry its voters just
as it pleases, it :s not going to do
anything for them. The minute
the voters show their independ
ence of the party whip, then some
thing will be done for them. There
fore, the pressing need of this gov
ernment of ours is independent
voters, wno will cling to measures
and repudiate" any man or party
that does not put them into effect.
Aii. intelligent man owes it to him
self torbe independent. He should
be ashamed to confess that Tie has
so little interest in his home and
' .
nation as to leave them to a steer-
ins committee, ignorance is a
blessing to parties ; it cannot help
depending on them. Thirty thous
and independent, intelligent, un
selfish citizens would be the rich?st
of blessings to North Carolina.
They could defeat any party that
would not serve the State, and they
could establisn any good cause.

ticians, who do not want office,
but do seek the good of the Com

ery when the Washingtons enter
ed. After the courtly greetings
and the usual compliments of the
season, there came from under the
settee a heavy sigh, which. evident
y attracted the General's notice.
However, I only takled and laugh
ed a little louder, hoping to divert
his attent ion, when oh me 1 there
came an outcry and a kick that
could not be ignored. So I stoog
ed down and dragged Payne out by

dignity left hira for once. Laugh'!
Why, he fairly roared. He nearly

of that boy in that gown, all so
unexpected, coming wrong end

too much.
WASHINGTON'S LAUGH.
A writer in an early number of
Linnincott's Magazine .tells the
a
following story which she beard
when a little girl from Mrs. Mad

said Mistress. Dolly Madison, "I
was sitting in my parlor with a
a very der friend, Mrs. R. B, Lee,
when in walked Payne Todd (her.
eon) dressed in my calico bedgown.
While we were laughing at the
figure he cut, the servant threw
open the door and announced Gen
eral and Mrs. Washington. What
to do with that dreadful boy,
didn't know? Neither could be,
