"Mother, these horses is mighty
ekittidh au J ruettlesom this inornin'",
said Caleb Marsh to bis good wife
Naucy, as they were driviug aloog
the road one bright day in Septem
ber. Caleb aud his wife were on
their way to pay a visit to one ol
Caleb's sisters, who lived about fif
teen miles from their farm.
"Sister Martha hill be surprised
to eee us a coiniu', I know, mother,"
rewaiked Caleb. "You kuow the
keeps a writin' aud sayiu' she'd
give up seeiii' ua agaiu. You see
how it's bin all the time; first the
ecru plautin', then the harvestiu',
and the threahiu', aud hayiu' aud
wheat sowin lve just bad no
chance to go anywheres till now.''
"Yes, lather," answered Nancy,
"you have a right smart to do this
summer, but they will be the glader
to see us when we do get there.''
"We're makiu' mighty good time
towards it, anyhow," said Caleb, as
he struck a liy ou the olYhorsesneck
with his whip.
"I just tell you what it is, mother,
there a nothin' that can beat natur,
accordiu' to my tbiukin', remarked
Caleb, after he had been loo'nng
approvingly around him for some,
time. "Tbeycau all talk about th
rich people in town anil envy them
their hue houses aud carriages and
horses and pictures and such things
if they want to, Ml take the coun
try all the time lor my part: Them
woods over there, all red auu yellow
aud green is a heap purtier than any
of then fiue pictures that cost
enough money to buy a farm, and
when it comes to the horsesj'll just
bet they haven't auytbing better
thau these two of mine." Caleb
was a great admirer of line
hoists, and no one iu his part of
the country had as good a pair of
throroughbred as he had and he
let no opportunity pass to remind
people of it.
They diove along in sileuce for a
time, evidently enjoiug the sur
roundings. It was indeed a lovely
scene. Summer was still in full
dress made mote glorioua eveu by
the touch of frost that had oul
lent additional beauty, without
showing its destroying power. The
grasshoppers rose in clouds out of
the roadway, as thepianciog horses
disturbed them, then with a 'whir
settled back in the dust uutil
aroused again by come passer-by.
The little brnwn sparrows twittered
merrily and the turious red heads
peeped saucily at them from behiud
t tree titmks or even the tops of
tne fences, their bodies hidden
from view aud only their redcrests
to be een gleaming like inbies in
the nun.
Cai-t Marsu and his wife Naucy I
were i:ood, honest, simple-hearted
pcopl . They had been brought up
in the times when schooltiouses
were few, and they had no chance
to get an education beyond a little
"readin7, and writlu' and ciphering"
&8 Caleb always expresed it. They
had prospered iu every way fioan
Urltmouilu the Hole of
mally and were quite able to take
lifo more easily than they did, but
they had been raised to consider
idleness a win and they still kept at
work from force of habit. Their
married life had been blest with
two children, bur, that dreadful
scourge scarlet fover, had made
thera childesa. Within oue week
rueir little ones Lad both been
stricken aud laid away. As they
drove by the giave yard that morn
ing, Naucy Marsh laid her baud in
stinctively ou the reins a if to
check the horse. It hurt her to
have thonj prauce so gaily by the
place where their darlings were ly
ing. Uoth father and mother
gazed fondly and tearfully at the
the two little mounds, with their
white headstones and borders ol
polished shells glistening in the
morning sunlight.
"Father." eaid Nancy, for the
names of father and mother they
had learned to call one anotbor by,
when the little ones came, bad nev
never been put aside,-'I know it is
not showiu' a proper and obedient
spirit, but I can't feel recoaciledyet
to giviu' them up. It's agaiost na
ture, somehow, aud we've been so
lonely since they have be;en taken
away from us."
"The Good Man knowed
best, mother, and its wicked for us
to fly in His face by murmuring
against what he sends us," au;
swered Caleb. But the tears that
he wiped from his face, with .the
back of his hand did not assure her
that he was any mora reconciled
than she was, and showed her that'
the yearning in his heart alter his
little ones was as great as her own
was.
Caleb aud Nancy reached Sister
Martha's in good time aud they
were joyfully received. When they
had finished their visit and were all
ready to start home again, Caleb
told his wife he had concluded, to
drive back by way of the lower road.
"It's only a mile or so further, aud 1
waut to see a man that lives on the
way about a trade we've been talk
in' about. The extra distance dou't
amount to innch with sac h a pair of
travelers as these of mine."
They had driven about, halt the
distance when a terrible storm came
up and the affrighted horses leaped
iu terror at the vivid flashes of
lighting. Caleb was compelled to
seek shelter, and the" nearest place
that could be reached ws the
county almshouse. An orphan's
home had been built, adjoining it
within the last few monts, aud they
bad been placed uuder the
same management for the sake of
of economy. Caleb drove unlet
one of the sheds and afier fasten
ug the horses securely, they went
into the officer's room to wait uutil
the storm should pass by. The
matron ot the orphaos home took
them through the different apart
mouts. There were quite a number
of children at the homo at the time,
and Nancy's motherly heart swelled
with pity as she looked at them
and thought of her own little ones.
There was one of them ju-t the size
her baby girl hid beeu when she
died.
Nncy took her on her lap and
smoothed the long curls the matrou
bad never had the heart to cut off.
The matron seeing how interested
Nancy was in the little girl gave an
account of her. She said there
were two of the children, a boy two
years older thau the gir'. Some
farmer had taken the boy out of the
home the week before. The matron
had tried to pursuade him to take
both of the children, as she did not
like to have them separated. This
the farmer refused to do, as he
thought it would be too much trou
ble to raise two children. The ihil-
dren were of good families Their
latner nau iosc an ot nis property
through indorsing for false friends
aud had died penniless. Their
mother soon followed him and the
little orphans were taken ro the
home to be cared for.
Nancy called Caleb's attention to
the little girl, and told him her
name was Nellie, the fame as their
own child's bad been. Caleb picked
the child up and kissed her and Nan
cy begged him to take the child
home with them. Caleb told ber
he would think the mattoi over for
a few days first. She said no more
about the child to him then, but
sho whispered something tc the
matron as they pissed out ot the
place when the storm had passed
by.
On the way home Nancy could
talk of nothing but the little girl
-ui Caleb avoided committing him
self in the matter. "I can't tell
.vhat has eome over father; it ain'r
like him to act sorpuner. It must
b be is selfish and can't
ear to see anyone take
the place of our owu lost one," said
Nancy to herself y way of an ex
cuse for Caleb's apparent lack of
interest.
The next week Caleb was drawn
48 a juror oa a grand larceuy case
that occupied several days, and
Nancy was left alone most of the
time. Iler mind was filled continu.
ally with thoughts about the child,
iodfor fear that some one else might
rake her in the meantime caused
her to become so anxious aud wor
ried that she could endure the
thought of waiting no louger. She
harnessed the old family horse and
drove to the orphans home alone.
"Father hasn't comt right out and
said I shouldn't have the child and
I know he won't care alter I get
her home once and he sees how I
lave set my heart on her," said
Nancy to herself assbe drove aloug.
As the Marshes were well known
in the commuuitv where thev lived
Nancy had no trouble in gettiug
possession of the little giil, aud they
ivere soon ou their way back home-
as Caleb was a little late m reachs
ng home that evening, Naucy had
verything in order and the supper
all ready to be placed on the table
wheu she heard him drive into the
barn lot. When she heard Caleb
step upon tne porch she slipped it
dlipped into a side room to watch
and see how he would receive the
little stranger. The first object his
?aze fell up-n was a little golden
haired child i-itting before the fire
Peking and singing to a little doll
that had onced belonged to his own
little girl.
Caleb picked up chair; baby doll,
and all in his arms and pressed
them to his heart;
'Thank heaven you got her,
mother,''said Caleb, joyfully. 4'I
stopped there myself this evening
and the matron told me she had
reen taken out. She didn't tell
me you took her though, anl I in
tended to surprise you by biingiu'
her home, and I was awlui Sony
ibout putting it oil too long-
"I'm so glad you don t think I
did wrong in getting her, father,
without your tellin' me to;'- said
Nancy as she wiped her eyes on the
rotnerof her apron. Caleb kissed
the child tenderly and put her
down, while Nancy helped him re,
move the wraps he wore as the
nights were gettiug chilly.
"Supper is ready, father,'' said
Nancy, as she arranged it on
the table.' Caleb had stepped out
ride a minute, while she was busy
when he returned he was leading a
little boy by the hand-
''Put down another plate, inothei;
the good mau gave us two children
aod I think there is still room for
two,'' said Caleb huskily as he led
the child forward.
"s'ster!" "Buzzer I" were the next
momeut cried by the children as
they hew into each others arms.
Nancy looked on wonderingly a mo
ment, theu the glad tears rained
down her cheeks as she realized
that brother and siter were to
gether never to be sepatted again.
Aftr much clearing of his throat
and rubbiug of his eyes, Caleb
found voic" to explain how it come
about. lie had stopped at the home
t0 get the litt'e gir', but she had
beeu taken out and the good matron
had not told bim who had taken
her. She to'd him that the farmer
had brought the boy back that aft
ernoon, saying bis wife thought the
child too spindlin' to ever make a
hand on the farm and tbey had
concluded to take a bigger stronger
boy.
The little fellow was crying so
hard because his sister had gone
tdat l nacm l tne neart to come a
way and leave him so hear he is. I
suppose the matron didn't want me
to know yu had. taken tlm litt!e
girl for fear I wouldn't take the boy
and she knowed we'd never epa
rate them after thev got together a
gam, concluded Caleb.
The extra plate wad put on and it
was a happy family that gathered
round the table. Alter Ca'eb h u
returned thank, be looked over to
the childrt-n ami his eye tilled w tl
tears as he beheld the familiar Wigl
chair and the little) tin iltes i'h
the A. li. C. borders an.l batteie i
red tin cups that had ben put a
way m long.
"It's like old times agiin mother,
said he huskily, and their was tu-h
a lump in Nancy's throat that she
could only auswer by a nod of the
head.
When the supper work was done
and they gathered arou'id the fiie
that night' Caleb took down the
well worn Bible and turning the
leaves he found aud read; "Aud
whoso shall receive aivdi a little
child in My name receiveth
Me." When they knelt at the fam
ily altar honest Caleb Marsh prayed
for divne forgiveness for having
closed his heart so long against the
cry of the weak and fatherless, ai d
good Nancy Marsh whispered afei
vent amen.' Laura L. Filzpatrick

The tdieriti' aided by forty citizens
of the county, efl'-cted (he air sf
yesterday mo ning. A jurv was im
meditaely formed to try Jmes for
lunacy, the charge having been pre
ferred by several citizens. After
satisfactory inouiry the jurv pro
nounced James uou cos mentis aud
ordered incarceration a- such.
Tbesrt steps were neeessarv in
view of the serious trouble Jame
aud his followers were giving. The
intelligent negroes passed n solu
tions condemning James actions
aud askiug the authority to arrest
him. Excitement is still at fete -heat
but it's hoped that the trouble
ia over now.
A true picture of recent events
in this couuty has never been given
and they never can be) faithfully
pictured. Huts were deserted by
their tennants. Litt'e patches have
been cultivated but have gone to
the dogs through neglect. The
terpentine tarms aud cotton fields
are without hands. Clothing re
mains unwashed, cooks have desert
ed their stoves, servants have left
their position-. Men, women, and
even children got together ;;nd
talked over the new Mess'.ai, ex
toiled his qualifications aud sub
mittted proof ot his divine origin
and supernatural power.
The sway of James, like that of
Bell, his predecessor, was all power
fu,aud bis authority unquestioned
His word was Law, his. command
despotic. Tbe uegroes were crazed
into blind credulty and utter worth
lessness. The faith with which they
followed iu tbe wake ot the ugly
pretender, the manner in which tbey
beat aud lew aud offered up hum
mau sacrifice at his command is as
touisbiug, aud would be incredible
l uot so completely proved. Tbey
catered to his eveiy wish, eudeavoi'
ing to anticipate bis wants and pro
vide for his comfort. He could
have any moiniug caused the m
sacre of every white person and
the burniDg of every res deuce
in Liberty county.
Congressman T. M. Norwood con

to the antics of the new Messiah.
James is, or was, a justice ot the
peace. Court wag to have ben
held Friday, but he dismissed the
cases iu a buncb, saying that he
was s ion to lead all the people into
Canaan there would be no further
use for courts. As an indication
of the madness of the negroes, Mr.
Norwood tells how they worshipped
him wherever he weut, a?id believe
him to be Christ, although he was
born and raised iu ihe neighbor
hood. Mr. Norwood says that tbe nev
groes at the meetings practice you
dooism in its most degrading and
most indecent forms. The Con
gressman confirms the report of the
killing of (he child, the beating of
the devils out of the unoffending

1839, and published at $1.2,"i a year,
cash in advance; a discount of 20
per cent, to mims'ers ami presi
dents. While Ihe office has agreed with
me, and I have in the main agreed
with the office, ami whil.i I might
reasonable entertain the hope of
holding on fcr eight months longer
yet I feel it my duty to tender you
my resignation.
Being a Democrat, I have preached
that ''to the victors belougs the
sp il ". I fell disposed to practice
what I preach.
Your immediate predecessor hoped
to build up his puty by keeping
the opposition in office. You are
probably aware if you are at all fa
miliar with the voeabula-y of true
aud trite sayings, that his name is
now Dennis
I am moved further to tender you
my resignation because of the anx
iety of a barnyard full of patriots
anxious to succeed me. I believe ;
hat a ta'ifi is a fax. They do no.
Therefore they : re of your k'nd aud

But t resume the tin ad of my

hungry ; thy have been feeding on
shucks and icicles for four Ions
weary years; the official call is fat
and i hey yearn to taste i s tender
joints. Thy fought (among them
selves), bled (t the rice) and are
willing to die for the g. o. p. When
I asserted that you were the Chi
naman's candidate, an.l ate ratstail
soup with chopsticks, they swore
by Dudley and Foster that it as a
campaign canard and threateued to
detail blocks of five to fiy the fat
out of me. Fortunately for me their
threats were not cirried into execu
tion. They carried torches drank
with .coons, sug "Grandpa's hat
will just tit Benny," aud did divers
and many foolish things no''e of
whicn would they have bee'i guilty
of doing had they not scented an
aroma of postoifi e on tbe cri-p of

they sounded wheu it became evi

will never be a Sahara iu my mem
ory. For the-e and other reasons, un
necessary to mentiou, I tender ou
my resiguatiou, with the hope that
my successor will be animated by a
similar spirit iu 1893. It he is. your
Democratic successor will be spared
the painful necessity of ''turning

I am very respectfully youre,

Mr. Terence V. Powderly, in the
official organ of the Rights of La
bo", l el Is ih Wiige. earner some
wholesome but disagreeable truths.
They have failed, he says, be
cause they have not stuck together.
fie calls to them to go to Ihe bal
lot box as one man, with the as
surance that they cau get what they
want if they go the riyht way to
woik.
At the same time he denounces
dynamite and all forms of violence
as the policy ot a fool.
What you can't got by means of
the polliug booth that is the sub
stance of his lecture isu't woith
having.
Powderly has a level head. But
to tell the truth he has a lot of unt
reasonable aud unreasoning fellow
to deal with. Sometime tbey may
acquire common sense, but it is the
ono thing they lack at the present
moment.
They have heretofore conducted a
sort of guerilla warfare aud pursued
the tact'es of brutality rather than
of diplomacy. Shaking their fists in
the world's fice and burling cobble
stones have not won the public
sympathy. On the contrary, tbey
have thrown the whole organization
into serious disfavor and imperilled
its existence. The Kuightsare wea
ker to-day thau tbey were two
years ago, and they have only them
selves to blame.
Oftentimes tbey have been in tbe
right, but their methods have been
so obstreperously wrong that they
have beeu ignomiuiously beaten.
Au organizatiou which attempts to
bully the community has mighty
small chance of success, even when
its cause is just. Brickbats and bul.
lets are not convincing arguments
in these days.
When the workiugmeu do all get
through with their stupidity tbey
will do fometbiog. Uutil iheu ccr
porations can oppress them as mur h
as they please and tbey will remain
as helpless as they are now.
The Herald has given them good
advice from tbe beginning, but they
sutler iron big bead aud think tbey
kuow everything.
The workiug classes can bold tha
balance of power iu almost any eler
rioo ; but they are like Jumbo a
huge, unwield'y creature who does
uot know h'8 own strength. Poor
Jumbo was maltreated by bis keep-
er, who drove ti e p d mto him un
il he roared. But ii all ended iu a
oar. If be had had sense enough
ie coufcd have knocked bis keeper
over the ropes. Being nothing bot
an elephaut, however, he let the fel
low prod him as much as he pleased.
Workingmen may bemoan their
lot, but so long as they bave the
remedy in their owu bands aod fail
to use it sympathy is misplaced.
Acrid speeches won't save them ;
harangues against monopolies are
simply tbe bellowing of a fog horn.
When they know how to act to
gether they will accomplish some,
thing not till then.
There are laborers' votes enough
n New York State to control the
Legislature and dictate measures of
relief. If present laws discriminate
against them they can bave new
las made. By getting logetht-r and
keeping together they can chaDge
the complexion of affairs and com-
pel the Leg slature to do tbem jus
tif'e.
But th ir ranks are fall of dem
agogues and jobbers. Petty faction
al jeaiou-;es are the blood poison in
the Ik dy oi Knights which weakens
and ries8 their influence. They
roar lik Jumbo when tbe monopo
list prods them, bat nothing more.
Powderly is right; The ballot box
is tbe enginery of revolution, aDd
until tbe w8ge earners of the coun
try recogn'ze that fact and govern
themselves accordingly tbey will
accomplish no results whatever-
vYe should like to see a compact
and powerful workingroan's party.
It conld do a deal of good. Bat
there is no fuch thing nowand will
uot be until laborers get sense
enough to nse the right means to
accomplish a really great purpose.-
