The Brier Time.
Brief time to sing, my dearie brief
time to sinp; and sih:
We only say good niormufr, und then
good night goodbye:
The Shadow in the sunlight o'er all the
wide world glooms,
A moan is iu the music the blight is in
the blooms.
Brief time to love, my dearie, iu spring
time's rosy beams;
To drink the honey-sweetness to dream
the old, sweet dreams;
The Shadow in the sunlight moves to
the breath of sighs
And unseen spirits ever kiss down our
dreaming eyes.
Oh, dreams, like phantoms frying where
only shadows throng!
Oh, life too brief for sighing, and life
too brief for song:
And the green world at our feet, dear;
ami overhead the sky
And Love that says good morning, only
to weep goodbye!

A Minister's Conclusion As To Marriage.
The heart, mind and soul of the
Rev. Jacob Schlegel, of Greater New
York, are under the weight of a
grievous burden of responsibility.
It is even inferred that the sharp and
cruel tooth of remorse is gnawing at
his vitals. The Re Jacob Schlegel
has in point of fact performed the
marriage ceremony no less than three
thousaud times, and he is not at all
certain that he has not been an ac
tive agency for the promotion of the
unhappiness of six thousand people.
The reverened minister makes no
mention of any decline in the size of
the matrimonial fee, and it is not
fair to attribute his pessimism to any
such cause as that. He says that
long years of close observation have
convinced him finally that marriage
a failure and that a young man
married is a young man marred.
He makes the shocking statement
that the cause of marital misery is
the girls. "The girls," he said "I
do not like them. They will insist
upon having so much. If their hus
bands make $10 a week" they will
have a hired girl." The women will
not for a moment admit the truth of
this, but there is a grain of truth in
the chaff of it after all. When a
young woman marries a poor young
mau as a rule she never stops to
think of bread and butter, of Easter
bonnets and garments, and olive
yards and vineyards, and sheep and
oxen, and men servants and women
servants, nor of the future. Her
mind is filled with the contemplation
of the paragon that is going to be
hers her very own. Her fancy
elopes from sordid surroundings and
disports itself in places whtre life is
all poetry and weariness a name.
Theu some day she wakes up, rubs
her eyes and finds herself among the
realities of life. She finds that her
paragon is not just what she pictured
him to be. He seems to have changed
since they used to swing ou the front
gate together or keep steady com
pany in the parlor on Sunday even
ings, lie does not can tier pet names
half as often. He is perhaps lazy
and a little selfish. Possibly he is
fond of beer and spends more than
his share of the weekly stipend iu
his own pleasure. He doesn't take
the same unstinted delight in her
company, and goes out in the even
ings and leaves her alone. She gets
tired, and when he comes home she
tells him her troubles and complains
and possibly reproaches him, and
that makes him tired and causes him
to go ofteuer and stay longer. Dif
ferences arise, and then they begin
to wish they had not married.
That is evidently the kind of cou
ple that the Kev. Mr. Schlegel had
in mind. But there are some married
people whose lives are one long sweet
song and where the married ones get
more and more fond of each other as
their hair gets more and more gray;
and the reverend gentleman is away
off from the truth when he thinks that
all single men and single women are
happy men and women. It has often
been observed that a bird out of the
cage tries as hard to get in as the
bird in the cage tries to get out.
As a rule a man's a fool.
When it's hot he wauts it cool;
When it's cool lie wants it hot;
Alwavs wanting what is not.
Not Insultiii!? to a Kentucky Woman.
Louisville, Ky., May 13. At Cen
tral City, in this state, a novel de
cision was handed down to-day by
Police Judge Creel. Sara Searcy had
entered the depot at that place and
rnrliippfl a bottle of moonshine

in the waiting room, and he insisted
that thev take a drink. Marshal
Wooten arrested him and charged
him with "insulting a woman." At
his trial the judge decided it wasn't
an insult to offer liquid refreshments
to Kentucky ladies, and Searcy was
dismissed.

ARP QUOTES PSALM.
Theu lie Discourses On a South-Haling
Sermon lly a Northern Preacher.
"Fret not thyself because of evil
doers. Fret not thyself because of
him who prospereth in his way and
bringeth wicked devices to pass."
There is good philosophy and much
comfort in that psalm. Its frequent
perusal will fortify us against trou
ble and leave us calm and serene at
least for a time. But I don't believe
that David had as many things to
exasperate him as we do. Now here
is a Chicago religious paper sent to
me to disturb my tranquility. It
contains a sermon recently delivered
by the editor to a large congregation
of his followers and they said amen
and amen at every malediction that
he uttered against our people. I
don't fret myself about what a nor
thern preacher says nor a northern
editor writes, but I don't like
that amen and amen from the saints,
and it grieves me to realize that the
more malignant an editor is against
us the more subscribers his paper
gets. Now this Chicago editor says
in his sermon :
"If I were president when the
next lynching takes place in the
south I would put a cordon around
that district and hang a hundred of
them and I would shoot a hundred.
Worthy of cannibals are the hor
rible things carried on in the South.
As sure as you live these eight mil
lion negroes will one day burst loose.
If it is to be blood for blood, then
woe to you in the black belt. You
southerners with your rebellious
pride still left you lynch the poor ne
gro for the very crime that your
fathers committed on their slaves.
There is one voice that will speak if
all others are silent. (Applause.)
When the time comes we will do
more than speak. Oou will judge
you you whited sepulcuers who
strain at a gnat and swallow a camel.
have been told that I have lost
friends at the south. I never had
any. I ney were never worthy of my
friendship. They are neither Chris
tians nor good citizens. I hear the
march of eight million Ethiopians,
and it will be an awful day when they
burst loose in the black belt."
My wife says that I had better take
the llowers out of the greenhouse and
maybe that will relieve me. I see
that the first rose of summer has
come forth in all its crimson beauty.
A pair of tiny sparrows are drinkiug
at the fountain in the front yard.
They are yellow and black, akin to
the canaries. A mockingbird is sing
ing in a neignoors garden, uur
flock of pigeons is sailing around in
graceful curves. The peacock is
strutting and spreading his magnifi
cent tail and is happy in his vanity.
The dog lies lazily on the blue grass
and everything is happy that God
has made except some miserable peo
ple who are never happy unless they
are abusing something or finding
fault with their neighbors. What a
slack-trough the south is to that
class up north. They can differ with
each other in politics and the tariff
and religion and the Philippine war,
but when they get tired of quarreling
they say, "Well, now, let's hold up
awhile and abuse those nigger killers
down south." That's a harmonizer.
Another preacher, Dr. Gunsaulus,
delivered the oration at Galena in
honor of General Grant's birthday
and made it appear that Grant was
the author and finisher of emancipa
tion and negro suffrage and it would
be sacrilege to permit the ballot to
be taken away from him while the
shadow of that monument is over the
nation.
Oh, my country! What an idiot!
Everybody who reads history knows
that Grant was a slave owner and
lived off the hire of his negroes up to
the very day of their freedom and
he uniformly declared he was not
fighting for the negro, but for the
union. Let the reverend gentleman
read in Appleton's "Cyclopedia of
American Biography" where General
Grant's old father wrote to him at
St. Louis in May 1SG0, that if he
couldent live off the hire of his ne
groes be had better move to Galena
and work in the tanyard. But I will
take a brief rest again in the garden,
for my wife says the potato bu.s
have come and I had better get ready
to poison them. She says they are
almost as pestiforous as yankee
preachers and are much nearer to us.
My garden is a clay subsoil and bakes
very quickly after a rain, and it
keeps me moving quite lively to pre
vent a crust that will not let the lit
tle plants come up. It has always
been a mystery to me how a little
tender plant can upheave a clod that
will weigh half a pound.
But about those preachers who are
so distressed about the negro. I wish
to remark that the same paper that
gave Dr. Gunsaulus's sentiments
about the negro had in the next col
umn in large head lines a press dis
patch from Connellsville, Pa., an ac
count of a fiendish crime committed
by eight negroes upon Mr. McMillan
and his wife, shooting him and sub
jecting her to an outrage worse than
death and left them both for dead. I
hope the posse has got the negroes
nnd lvnched them bv this time. Do
you reckon I would have refused to
help lynch the brutes if I had been
there and if that Chicago preacher
had been there and refused a helping
hand I would have said, "Now, boys,
let's hang him up by the legs to give
him time to. repent the cowardly
dog who would not avenge a woman's
honor." That's my faith and part
of my religion, and I've been on that
line ever since these outrages begun.
I rejoice over every lynching of a
brute and our woods are full of good
citizens of the same mind. Govern
or Chandler may purge his own re
cord about lynching and denounce
that Philadelphia editor who lied on
him, but I am not governor and am
not a target to be shot at and I am
free to say that a man who would
wait for the slow, uncertain process
of the law and the courts to avenge
our wives and daughters is no man '
at all and has my scorn and con
tempt. I think I had better read a
psalm or go out and plant some
more beans for my wife says she
wants a succession of crops of all
these leguminous vegetables. I
think that is what she called them.
It is that same puritanical set of
preachers who brought on the war
and we thought the next generation
would have more sense and let us
alone since slavery was abolished,
but like fathers, like sons, and they
are yet miserable as long as Morde
cai is sitting at the gate. Some of
our writers and orators declare that
peace and brotherly love now pre
vails, but it is like the game of "three
card moute," now you see it and now
you don't see it. Henry Grady made
a great speech in Boston and fairly
captured his audience, but in less
than two weeks the Boston preach
ers were ceiittling his etlort and
howling at the South for its bad j
faith to the fifteenth amendment, i
The race problem is still their capi
tal stock and it has spread from
New England to Chicago and the
great west. The G. A. R.'s have
appointed a committee to write Lp a
history of the civil war, and the next
thing will be to force it into the pub
lic schools. The G. A. R's.area
power in the land and their creed is
to draw more pensions and bigger
ones, but l can t understand now
they can look a confederate soldier
in the face and boast of anything.
If it took four of us to whip one of
them I'd never brag about it nor
ask for a pension, and it it was
given me, i wouiu conscientiously
ptfur it buck in the jug.
When God created Adam He
planted a garden for him and put
him in it to keep it and dress it and
that was innocent and manly, and
so I will go out and dig some and
turn the hydrant loose, for it is aw
ful dry. Wish I could turn it loose
on those preachers. Since Bishop
Candler exclaimed in big head lines,
"Oh, for one more breath of Puri
tanism!" I've been perusing histo
ry. Of course he dident mean those
Puritans who came to New England
and went to importing negroes and
robbing the Indians and burning
witches. Mr. Stedman and Miss
Hutchinson have eleven volumes of
American literature and the second
is devoted to those horrible witch
craft times when Increase Mather
and Cotton Mather and Samuel
Sewall and other saints had helpless
women arrested and tried and hung
for withcraft. The whole procedure
is in this volume and it makes the
heart sick to read how the poor
creatures begged for their lives and
in their last moments on the gallows
denied their guilt. How as many as
eight were hung at one time and
many more at various times, and
how old Judge Sewall afterwards re
pented and the twelve jurymen re
pented and published their repen
tance and asked God to forgive their
great sin, etc. One woman, Mary
Watkius, who was a hired servant, a
white woman, was tried, but the
evidence was not quite sufficient to
convict, and so they did not hang
her, but seut her off to Virginia to
be sold as a slave.
This is only a little scrap of New
England history, and if any of their
descendants is ashamed of it they
have never said so to me. Those
northern brethren are awful slow on
apologies. But I must go and stick
the sweet peas and hurry up the
flowers for the June wedding. Our
neighbor's pretty daughter is to be
married and they are singing to me
"Bring Rowers, briug flowers, for the
bride to wear.
They are born to blush iu her shining
hair.

Beware of a Coagh.
A cough is not a disease but a symp
tom. Consumption and bronehits, which
are the most dangerous and fatal dis
eases, have for their first indication a
persistent cough, and if proj)erly treated
as goon as this cough appears are easily
cured. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
has proved wonderfully successful, and
gained its wide reputation and extensive
sale by its success in curing the diseases
which cause coughing. If it is not ben

Financial and Commercial.
Special Correspondence.
New York, May 14, 1001.
The Stock Exchange has been a
storm centre and the point of gene
ral business interest during the past
week. The wild excitement in the
share markets has had a quietiug ef
fect upon all other speculations as
well as upon some legitimate enter
prises the successful progress of
which is dependent upon stable con
ditions in the financial markets. But
the merchandise distribution has
been generally active, and there has
been no slackening of the industrial
output. There has been no appre
ciable gain io the textile production,
but conditions in some branches of
the trade are a little more encour
aging, the growth of export busi
ness in cotton goods being a favora
ble feature. Pig iran output has
passed all previous records, but has
not yet caught up to- the demand.
The building and allied trades con
tinue to show exceptional activity.
Crop advices of the week have been
generally favorable, and the effects
of a late planting season in many
sections are being rapidly overcome.
Business failures during the past
week, according to R. G. Dun &
Co., numbered 187 in the United
States and 2G tn Canada, against
192 in this country and 15 in Cana
da during the corresponding week
last vear.
Cotton prices show a net decline
of 1-1C of a cent per pound, but the
latest figures are J of a cent above
the lowest touched during the week.
Depressing factors have been the
unsatisfactory condition of the cot
ton goods trade and the big roceipts
of cotton. The latter are largely in
excess af all previous expectation
for the time of j-ear; and while ex
ports are about equal to the receipts
at ports, the demand from spinners
continues light and the large Amer
ican and Indian movement is steady
increasing the world's visible supply.
The cotton goods trade is generally
very quiet. A fairly sustained de
mand for export grades is the most
encouraging feature. Ihe larger
takings of exporters have relieved
the market sufficiently to admit of
a recovery of J to of a cent per
yard from recent lowest prices for
certain makes. The whole line of
home trade cottons, however, is I
moving slowly, and even the lower j
prices lately named on Fall River
mill products have failed to quicken
business. The price situation is un
satisfactory to makers who are try
ing to sell goods made from cotton
costing around 10 cents per pound
to buyers whose ideas of value are
based on the present cost of the sta
ple. Rose As From the Dead. .
