Kitty and herushana Itved hap
pily feBtdf a- ftii. Butthea sick
ness came and for nearly another
half-year Ned lay' a helpless invalid.
Th e season proved unfavorable, too
and the crops failed. The money
Ned had. saved ran out ; and, worse
than all, the two-years' lease would
soon expire, and Farmer Hopson
had given notice that it wouldn't be
renewed.
At last, when they were reduced
to absolute need, and Kitty saw her
husband dying for the want of those
comforts essential to the sick, she
rose and went to ber father to im
plore his pardon ahd pity. She even
knelt at his feet, but he spurned her
away. He had said, the reader will
remember, that he would never
grant pardcn to his daughter or her
husband "not if they were starving
or begging on their knees J" and
Gomery Hopson was not the man to
break his word. 4
That same night - Farmer Hopson.
was taken with a deadly epidemic
then raging. He had .all along in
tended to disinherit 'his daughter,
but, like many men, he had a su
pcrstitou repugnance to making a
will. But now he must act at once,
or it might prove too late.
"Make haste tq Lawyer Poach
ard,",he said to a , trusty .messenger ;
"tell him I want a, will made of all
my property 40 Marsyas Moorsjtone,
and tell him to fetch it all ready to
he signed, for I mayn't be able to
talk much by the time he gets here."
'The. hivr-ycr returned with the
messenger, andwas' conducted di-retlyMfo-tfre
shk-rooni, where -he-remained
a short time with the far
mer. Then two witnesses were call
ed .in, before whom Mr. Hopson
signed '.-.V.j&per-5 ;wjiish had hardly
strength enough to tefithem wa9hia
will, and requested them to witness
it. ""
The lawyer then sealed up the pa
per, put it in his pocket for safe
keeping and took a hasty leave, say
ing that W had another similar er
rand to attend tp.
Two days. after. Farmer Hopson
was followed to the grave by a arge
conpoarse of 'neighbors,- headed by
Marsyas MoorstoeaSichief mqurner.

It seemed very curious that.the.tcs-
tatrix: whose- worldly- coods consist
cd onlyjDf herown wearing apparel,
a one-eyed parrot and a phthisicky
monkey," should leave them to a
crusty old bachelor, whom she" had
never spoken well of, instead of to
her only daughter, Kitty-Tartar.
Some 7 charitaHy thought that
Gomery Hopson had relented to
ward his daughter;during the brief
private f conference with..;. Lawyer
Poachard. But more suspected that
the latter, having the two wills about
him, ready for signature, got them
mixed, and in the hurry got the far
mer to sign Mrs. Plackett's, and vice

Be that as'it might, it was too late to
correct mistakes, and the old lawyer
discreetly held his tongue. -.
Kitty Braxton was able to provide

An Insulting Campaign.
From the New- York World.
The one journal which applauds
Mr. Blaines defense of Trusts de
rides the Earmera' Alliance andcon-
dems the Knights of Labor.
This is perfectly natural. Sympa
thy will out. A fellow-feeling with
monopolists makes men wondrous
kind towards Trusts and wonderful
ly malicious against those who op
pose them. i
The Farmers' Alliance of North
Carolina proposes to co-operate in
the purchase of family supplies for
its members. Being compelled by
our tariff to sell their products in
the cheapest market and buy their
necessities in the dearest market in
the world, the farmers seek to gave
some of the middlemen's profits in
order to have money to pay the in
terest on their mortgages. And for
this the monopoly organ compares
the Alliance to a Trust and asks :
Vlf it is wicked and dangerous to the
State to combine to sell, why is it
not dangerous to the State and wick
ed to combine to buy?"
The obvious answer is thataTrust
or a combination to sell is a conspi
racy to killcompetion, to raise prices
arbitrarily and to restrict production
in order to maintain these prices.
The Alliance is simply co-operation
to buy cheaply, in large quantities,
at the producer's rates, saving inter
mediate profits. It does not inter
fere with production. Instead of de
stroying it encourages competition.
To compare it with the Cotton-Bagging
Trust is insultingly unjust.
So is the characterization of the
Knights of Labor a union of work
ingmen formed to meet thecombina
tions of Capital as "the greatest
Trust of all." The Trust-promoting
tariff will not be helped by such a
defender as this.
