Ben Ilazzard'a hut was smoky and cold,
Ben Hazzard, half-blind, was Mark and
old,
And he cobbled shoes for his scanty.gold.
Sometimes ke f ighed for a larger store
Wherewith to bless the wandering poor,
for he was not wise in wordly lore;
The poor were Christ's, he knew no more.
One night a cry frum the window came
Ben Hazzard was sleepy and tired and
lame
"Ben Hazzard, open," it seemed to say,
''Give shelter and food, I humbly pray."
Ben Hazzard lifted his wooly head
To listen. --'Tis awful cold," he said,
And his old bones shook in his ragged
bed,
"But the wanderer must be comforted."
"Come in, in the name rf the Lord," he
criedt
And he opened the door and held it wide.
A milk-white kitten was all he spied.
Ben Hazzard, amazed, started up and
down;
The stout house-doors weie carefully
shut,
Safe bolted were all but old Ben's hut.
"I thought that somebody called," he
said,
"Some dream or other got into my head!
Come then, poor pus, and share my bed."
Then out from the storm, the wind, and
the sleet,
Puss joyfully lay at at old Ben's feet.
Truly Jtwas a terrible storm,
Ben feared he should never more be
warm.
But just as he began to be dozy.
And puss was purring soft and cozy,
A voice called fain'ly before his door,
ljBen Hazzard, Ben Hazzard, help, I im
plore! Give chink, .nd a crust from out )-our
store.""
Oatfrom his bed he stumbled again;
"Come in, in the name oj the ," he
said;
"Willi such as I have, thou shalt be fed."
Only a little black dog he saw,
Whining and shaking a broken paw.
"Well, well," he cried, "I must have
dreamed;
But verily like a voice it seemed.
Poor creature," he added, with husky
tone,
"Thou shalt have the whole of my mar
rowbone." He went to the cupboard and took from
the shelf
The bone he had saved for his very self.
Then, af'.er binding the broken paw,
Half dead with cold went back to his
straw.
Under the ancient blue bedqu It he crept,
His conscience was white, and again he
slept.
But again a voice called, both loud and
clear,
"Ben Hazzard, fur Christ's sweet sake
come here!"
Once more he stood at the open door,
And looked abroad, as he looked before;
This time full sure 'twas a voice he heard,
But all that he saw was a storm-:o-scn
bird.
"Lome in, in the nzme rf the. Lf'rd," he
said,
Tenderly raising the drooping head.
And, tearing his tattered robe -.part,
Laid the cold bird on his own warm heart.
The sunrise flashed on the snowy thatch.
As an angel lifted the wooden latch.
Ben awoke in a Hoed of gel len l'ghf,
And knew the voice that called nil night,
'k'lhrirehapiy is he that blesseth the or,
The hvmblest creature that fought thy (cor
Ft.tr Christ's sircct sake thou hast comforted."'
'Nay, 'twas not much," Ben humbly
said,
With a rueful shake of his oi l gray head.
" ho gireth all of his scant' store
In Christ's dear name, can do no m re.
Ikhvld the Master who xcaiteth for thee,
Saith: (firing to them thou hast given to
Me.' "
Then, with heaven's liht on his face,
"Amen,
I come in the name of the Lord," srid
Ben.
'Frozen to death," the watchman said,
When at last he found him in his bed,
With a smile on his face so strange and
brisrht.
He wondered what eld Ben saw that
m-ht.

One of the keenest things ever

Jud'zc Walton, of Georgia. While
holding a terra of Supreme Court at
Augusta he sentenced a man to sev

The prisoner's counsel asked fcr a
mitigation of the sentence on the
ground that the prisoner's health

By Hon. W. H. Kitchin.
We saw an extract a few days ago
from the Charlotte Chronicle par
porting to be the avowed principles
of Sid Alexander, the heod and front
of the Farmers Alliance. The ess
tract declared that Sid Alexander
was in favor of a R. R. commission
and also in favor of th-: Federal gov
ernment taken possession of all rail
roads and controlling and running
he same. We hope and trnst that
these ate not the views of Mr. Alex
ander. If they are, then he can no
longer be considered the leader of
the North Carolina democracy. Or
if he is a true type of democracy.
then our deraocn cy Las degenerated
into republicanism of tLe rankest
and inot odious kind. It is the
glory and honor of the democratic
party that it has time out of mind"
fought against centralization and
consolidation. It is the bed rock
upon which the party his ever stood
unmoved and immovable, ar.d when
it ceases to stand upon that founda
tion it will and ought to go to pieces.
IVj take charge of the railroads,
creatures of the States, chartered by
the States, by the Federal govern
ment, would be the quintessence of
centralization. It would I e terror
ism, despotism, republicanism, and
usurpation. What possible right
lias the General government to take
charge of the railroads within the
States? Why not Uk? charge of all
the wrvgon roads, cart paths, and by
ways? Why not take charge of all
the strain-boats? Why not take
harge of a!I the stage coaches and
stage ways in the States?
At the time of the adoption of the
constitution by the States, all the
commerce between the States was
carried on by means of wagons, carts,
stage coache, an I pack mu'es. The
Idea of a railroad reaching: from the
Atlantic ocean to the Pacific ocean,
and from the lakes to the Gulf ol
ex c , with iron-horses, puffing
fire and sniok, drawing h:ty billions
of commerce between the States
yca:ly , never enteied the brains of
the buil 'ers and frau era of the con-
stitution.
It never coul I have been con
templated by the master builders of
the organic law of he land, that the
General government could at it
pleasure and in its discretion, take
charge of the public roads leading in
and '-tit of the States and fix the
rates each wagoner, should charg-t-per
hundred pounds from Philadelp
hia , Baltimore , Richmond, Peters
burg, Chsrle.t'onir Sparatanburg to
lialeigh, Asheville, or Stateaeillo.
Wliy not Sny what Bill Smith shall;
charge Tom Jones for hauling in his
wagon a barrel o! flour from Rich
mond to Grecnaboro, a welt as to
ay what the R. & I) Railroad shall
charge fur tt.e same. Ail thatyould
possibly have been meant by the
fathers of t!'e country in tha clause
of the constitution which says, "The
Congrtss of lha United States shall
hae power to regulate the commerce
between the States'' was that no
State should have power to by a
duty on goods brought from ether
States. In other words that clause
in the constitution, meant that if any
State should attempt to discriminate
.gainst its sister St:te by taxation
or otherwi o, the Congress of the
Uaitui States should hate power to
present Euch discrimination, and
c-inapel a' solute free tiade between
the States. For these reasons we
have always believed the inter-state
commerce law unconstitutional Con
gress has power , under this clause
of the organic law, to say that to
State shall charge a duty or lay an
embargo upon the goods and pro
ducts of another State shipped into

leader of the farmers of the Slate, as
Captain Alexander gives utterance
to such umvpublic'an undemocratic
Alexander was the farmers cendidate
for Governor, as well as for United
States Senator, and he is their chief
captain and forerc;st leader ; and
they are controlled in a great rneaa
ure by what he says. Therefore it
behooves all democrats in this State
and lovers of liberty to measure and
weigh well the public utterances of
Captain Alexander. If he is wtong
the people ought to know it. If he
is right they ought to know it. From
our stand-point he is- oil" the demo
cratic track, and wo would like to
see him switch on again, for we con
sider him a very good pure, honest
man.
