Evil or good, as the case might be,
White, or colored, or boud, or l'rce—
Johu, and I'eter, aud Kobert uud l'aul,
God In hti wisdom created them all.
Out of earth'h elements, mingled with flame,
Out of life's compounds of glory aud shame,
Fashioned aud shaped by uo will of their own,
And helplessly Into Ufa's history thrown;
Horn l y the law that compels men to be,
Horn to conditions tlicy could not foresee,
John, and 1'cter, and Robert, uud Paul,

/
John was the head aud the heart of his State,
Was trusted and honored, was noble and great.
I'eter was made'neath life's burdens to groan,
And never once dreamed that his soul was Ills
own.
Kobert great glory and honor received,
Por zealously preaching what uo ouo believed;
While Paul of the pleasures of sin took his fill,
Aud gave up his life to the service of it;
It chanced that these men, In their passing
away
From cltrth and Its conflicts, all died the same
day.
Johu was mourned through the length aud the
breadth of the land-
Peter fell 'neath the lash In a merciless hand—
Kobert died with the praise of the Lord on his
tongue—
While Paul was convicted of murder, and hung.
John, and Peter, aud Hubert, and Paul,
The purpose of life was fulfllod In them nil.
Men said of the statesman—"How noble aiul
brave!"
But of I'eter, alas!—"lie's only a ijlave."
Of Robert they said—"With Ills soii It Is weS;"
While Paul they consigned to the torments of
hell.
Bom by one law through all Nature the same,
What made them to differ? and who was to
blame ?
John, and Peter, and Robert, and Paul,
God in his wisdom created them nil.
Out In that region of infinite light,
Where the soul of the black is as pure as the

Out where the spirit, through sorrow made
wise,
No longer resorts to deception aud lies-
Out where the flesh can uo lougcr control

Who shall determine what change may befall
John, anil Peter, aud Robert, and Paul?
John may in wisdom ami gooduess Increase-
Peter reloiee iu an luilnite ueaco—

leaders do not make the country; they

ica, would have a Utopia if great lead-

like to tell you how many times, even in
the last few years, the people of the
United States have risen above their
leaders—aye, above their Government.
But I dare not, for recent history is Al-
ways politics, and I am bound over now
to keep the peace. Still, T may say,
that in the instance of Abraham Lin-
coln, we who are now living have seen
how the flaws in his nature and reputa-
tion are dropping one by one out of
view, and how they within the next
hundred years will, have gone forever,
and his good qualities will be left like a
statue of unblemished marble. I have
too often lauded his noble struggles for
the right of being accused of trying to
detract front his glorification, still with-
out Lincoln, the country would have
worked out its own salvation iu much
the same way, because the popular sen-
timent would have forced some other
man into the place which he so nobly
filled. It is the people who have all the
power, and shape the need into which
some fortunate man slips.
"There always was and always will
be one ruler of humanity — Popular
Opinion, Our laws do not rule us: they
are simply the expression of generally
recognized public sentiment. Even the
most sacred of our relations in life and
our conduct in death are shaped by it.
In the most insignificant minuthe of our

'110 longer wear swords, but no man is
brnve enough to do away with the lint-
tons on the tail of his coat. The world
will never cease to wonder at the temer-
ity of that bravest of men, Hamilton
who carried the first umbrella in the
streets of London.
"We do not generally recognize the
influence of public opinion simply be-
cause few men are ever in all their lives
bold enough to run against it. Let us
see what it is, and we shall learn that it
actually deserves all this respect. It is
nothing more nor less than the average
intelligence of the people, and woe unto
him who dares let it be known that he
has risen notably above it. He must
suffer for any satisfaction lie may get
out of his wisdom. Copernicus was
more prudent, if not wiser, than Gali-
leo, and only revealed his wisdom on
his death-bed.
"Wisdom to be of any use must be
within easy reach. The rising sun may
beautifully gild the hilltops, but not till

Some time ago while Mark Twain was
taking a reminiscent float down the
Mississippi river, the boat on which he
was embarked was compelled one night
to "tie uj " at Flay's Point, a village in
Louisiana. The humorist had gone to
bed, and had just sunk into a dose when
there came a sharp rap at his state-
room door. Twain opened the door. A
squint-eyed fellow, wearing a check
shirt and rawhide boots, stepped into
the room.
"Is this Mark Twain?"
"Yes, sir, I am known by that name."
"Well, sir, I have some mighty im-
portant business with you."
"Pleast state it."
"Kan't do it here, but ef you'll come
with me you'll soon find out."
I don't care to go anywhere to-night
—except to bed." Twain replied.
"But I tell you this is important—
something that should be attended to at
once. You just come with me a few
minutes and T'll be dinged ef you ever
regret it."
"1 don't care to meet anyone."
"You wout have to meet any one but
me. You may have had a trick played
on you, but I tell you this is to your
advantage. It wont take you ten min-
utes. The only reason I want you to
go with me is that I may prove my
good faith."
He continued with such strong im-
portunity that Twain finally consented
to go with him. The humorist was
conducted through a muddy street and
down a dark alley to a small wooden
building. Tlis conductor unlocked a
door, entered a room and lighted a
smoky lamp.
"Come right in an' set down."
The humorist looked around and dis-
covered that he was in a printing ofllco,
fitted up with a hand press and a few
casi's.of type.
'Set down."
Twain seated himself 011 a box. His
conductor added:
"You are now, sir, within the portals
of the Weekly Progress, a paper that
circulates extensively throughout the
country, and of which T am the editor.
I wanted to bring you here to show you
as convincin'proof of my standin' the
tools and appliances of my honorable
profession. I could, 011 the boat, have
given the information Ihut I intended
to deliver, but, sub, without these here
stirroundin's of sincerity, you must
have thought me a fraud. Now, this is
what I wanted to tell you, Mr. Twain,
I have hearn of you, and 1 want to say
anything you write that you want
printed, w'y you send it to .1. Casper
Mcintosh, and I'll bo blamed if I don't
print it for you. Yes, 1 will," he added,
meeting the humorist's stare of amaze-
ment, "Yes, T'll bo dinged if I don't.
You just go ahead now and write out a
lot ol your fool things, and I'll be
hanged if 1 don't publish 'em, I don't
care a blame what folks say. Don't be
snatched, Mr. Twain, for 1 am telling
of the truth. I'll publish your articles.
Well, ef you must go, good night. When
you get down tliar to the corner of the
fence turn to the right, if yon don't
want to get dog bit."

Ed. Monitor:
Not seeing anything in the Mon-
itor from these parts, I thought I
would give you something from the
"piney woods." Health good;
farmers about done gathering the
Heccy staple and a great many
sowing wheat, which speaks untold
volumes for the farmer next year.
In regard to buying Hour our farm-
ers say they are going to sell flour
next year instead of buying it from
the merchants. This should be
encouraged all over the county;
we have land that will produce
wheat, why not raise our flour at
home ?
Next in order is the meat, it can
be raised at homo here as well as
anywhere else with but little ex-
pense. We can raise corn, peas
and peanuts with which to fatten
our hogs. Let us see how many
farmers will next year raise their
bread and meat, their syrup and
potatoes, and in fact everything
they consume. If each farmer will
first secure all these necessaries
and then plant the balance of his
land in cotton and make that his
surplus crop, by next fall he will
be independent and not owe all
that lie makes and more to the
merchant.
I have not seen anything in the
Monitor in regard to tlx? bog law.
I understand there bus been a pe-
tition circulated for an election,
making it a law, lo keep hogs from
running at large. I have studied
the matter over some and shall
vote against it for the following
reason:
There are but few farmers in the
county who own land that will be
able to keep up and feed their hogs
during next year, while the major-
ity of our farmers are tenants who
try to raise their own meat. Would
such an act bear equally on both
classes, land lord and tenant?
The tenant pays one-third of his
A teacher who asked a girl to
