THE OLD AYMNS.
There's lots of music in 'em—the hymns
of long ago—
And when some gray-haired brother
sings the hymns used to know,
I sorter want to take a hand I think of
days gone by—
“On Jordan's stormy banks Istand and
cast a wistful eye!”
There's lots of music in 'em—those
dear sweet hymos of old—
With visions of bright lands of light
and shining gold,
An’ I hea 'em ringin’, singin’, where
memory dreamin’ stands,
*‘From Greenland’s loy mountains to
India's coral strands.''
They seem to sing forever of holier,
sweeter days,
When the lillies of the love of God
bloomed white in all the ways,
And I want to hear their music from
the old-time meotin’s rise
Till ‘I can read my title clear to man
sions in the skies.’’
We never needed singing books in them
old days—we knew
The words, the tunes, of every one the
dear old hymu-books through.
We didn’t have no trumpets then, no
organs built for show
We only sang to praise the ‘Lord, from
whom all blessings flow."
And so I love the old hymns, and when
my time shall come
Before the ight has left me and my
singin’ lips are dumb—
It I can only hear ‘em then I'll pass
without a sigh
“To Canaan's fair and happy land,
where my possessions lie."
—Frank L Stanton.

There are reasons for believing that
many Democrats will secretly disregard
the action of the Norfolk meéiing and
vote against the Constitutional conven.

‘¢orporations are fighting it.
Representatives Rixey, Otey and Jones,
of Virginia, were at the White House
and recommended John Goode of their
State as a suitable man to fill the place
on the commission to codify the orimi

Arthur McArthur, who succeeds Gen.

oivil war broke out at the age of 18.
North Oarolina Republicans are di

Oonstitution. There is a strong element
of respectable Republicans who believe
that with the negro vote out of the
way $oey would gain large reinforce

Demoorats, The same feeling exists
with a large number of white Republi

Representative Bromwell, of Ohio,
introduced a bill providing that when
the amount of alleged defaloations in
the Caban postal revenues shall have
been ascertained, this amoont shall be
refunded to the Caban treasury out of
the Gensral treasury of the United
States ‘I do this,” he said, “that the
confidence of the Oubans in the integrity
of the United States government may
not be shaken.’’
The war in the Philippines is officially
over, and we are now engaged in the
‘pacification of the islands. How
ever, in the last two or three weeks there
has been considerable ‘slaughter of
Filipinos, coupled, incidentally, with
the killing of a number of American
soldiers, The Oleveland Plain.Dealer
feels constrained to remark: *'If the
progress of pacification goes on at the
rate of twenty United States soldless to
200 Filipinos killed, in course of time
the Philippine question will be settled
by the virtaal depopulation of the is
lands— provided the eopply of soldiers

Readers, have you ever been to that

compound. The barrier is thrown
down between the Patrician and Ple
