Sec'y. A Farmer's Protest. The following poem, ritten by Sarah T. Bolton, done over ever so slightly, is intensely applicable to the situation in I Coffey county. Our people know that a large proportion of the taxes they have paid has gone to enrich individuals, yet, however unjust, the tax had to be paid, as the receipt therefor stood between them and the riht to their houses and property Tax, awess-nient and tax! We cnniiot '(-t on wHi these bur.len.-ome packs, Fettered by law to our brains tuJ our backs.

We toil every hour of the day with our might; Think, contrive ami conjecture all night, But tinG no relief on the lelt or the r'glit, While the tax. like an ogre colossal in sue, With a myriad of hamis and a myiirir! of eye, Consumes, MgarUlet-s who lives or who iller. If dollars I b'oomed on the tre. If gieenbacks came down on ihe wings of the breeze, We could pay this wl'h ease. If gold dust re sown in soil and the We would wiUii'gly shoulder our pick and our pans And dig me smount with cir horr.y, brown han''j.

But if wc could find sale for our lwses and cows, Our hay-rakes jnit harrows, car-, waznn? an'', plows, The coin in our crib and the hay oar mows, When we cme to over the price of them rH, The Mini would 1- so small Tnat the cormorant would i'l hold us iu j-av. Should we sell the la-t bed, the 'at table ami chair, Pot, philu mid w'th clo nes tha" we weft, And adopt the custuxe of ihe piimKive pair, Even then, this nnatifi, P'tiles Like Shylock, point us to fiir-es and facts, And every oi ui of the pound it tracts. Alas for thee, bean: if ul land of the west, That heaver, hl.e a bride, for her bridal has dresf, And alas for thy p'-opie so severely opprest. The poor mn i is taxed for die roof on Ids For the in his sty, for the sheet on his bed, Wkile bU cliiid-eu are ciy'ng for bread. The widow truit toils in liie heat end cold, Must pay on her pi.i'rl chat'eis enro'led, As much as v.ould bri.i;,, sold.

And even ihe rich man has cause 'o complc'ii Of ihe measures ihis exorbitant drain On the wealth he has toiled hu'f a life to obiaiL'. It were better io on some isle in the sea, With ihe friendly Malay or the it-mil Feejee, Where the frui.s of theea. waitraivt.ee, Or wander awny a IWnain bind, O'er desokre plains 01 Saiiar.au sand, Than to g.apple with in this beauJf ul land. Cook and Insersoll. How man- have read Joseph Cook's recent lecture, "Does Death End who are in the habit of devouring everything Col.

Ingersoll has to say on kindred subjects? This is a lair question for several rea sons: First, the men. Col. Ingersoll is a lawyer and a very eloquent speaker Because he is so eloquent and the theme. as he treats it, so popular with the mass es, he is welcomed wherever he goes and when he has leisure from his law practice he can gather a good little pile of door money whenever he starts out, for his houses are crowded, and his tick ets are not purchased with small change. Mr.

IngesolTs method is to amuse and entertain an audience. Ridicule is much used as a weapon against accepted doc trines. Beautiful metaphors, elegantly- rounded periods and rhetorical phrases are used for logic, and scoffing for scien tine demonstration. As a religious teacher, he does not merit this notice, if it were not for the fact that many are so facinated by him that they risk their souls' salvation for his opinions and utterances. Let us notice the other lecturer: Mr.

Cook is a minister of the gospel, whose life is devoted that particular iranch stud His time, his money and his talent have been subservient to the great researches after truth from science, philosophy and revelation. In his theme "Does Death End All?" sallies of wit and ridicule are not made to take the place of logic. If these speakers were only listened to, or their lectures only read and forgotten, no remarks would be necessary; but that is not the end: The infiuenee of one is for evil, the other for good. Oneisstud-ied with the hope that it may be true, and all responsibility for good or bad actions thrown aside. If there is nothing after death, they say let us have a good time while we may.

The "good lime" may be somewhat questionable to law-abiding and order-hving people; but what would that signify? The motto of many would he. "Each for himself and the devil take the hindmost The othei view of the theme, that it does not end our existence, but that a loving and ali-wisr Father has planned that this ephemeral life is but the thres- hold of existence, "the superb of the life Elysiati," and iiuT we are to spend our lives in such a way that we need not blush lor our ignorance try to excuse our lollies and sins when we are called upon to enter the new existence. Which are the best instructors in such subjects, that of such vital import tance to all lawyers or preachers? And which are the safest for masses to follow the ones who tear down all the holv I 11 12 temples and build nothing on their ruins, or the ones who invite you to dive deep and soar high for eternal truths, and not make poor frail mau au idol, but worship a Being whose works we see and enjoy, if we cannot explain how they came or how the' were made? Many of these skeptical leaders change their opinion and become zealous workers in the church 7 1 2 8 4 5 6 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 1 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 1 2 8 4 5 6 1 2 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 1 and other! desperadoes, and been au ar dent admirer of that class of people, and therefore not accountable for his actions? The Highest Judge may remind us that we had conscience to direct us; the great book of Nil' ure to study; a mind with which to reason and think, the Bible for a guide; men of profound studf and research, eloquently pleading every Sabbath for us to accept the truth, and Christ inviiine us to come.
