THE GOLDSBORO MESSENGER, JANUARY 28. 1 886.pqtTBL.E SHEET. ' GROWING OLD. ; Growing old 1 The pulse's measure Keeps it even tenor still ; Eye and hand nor fail nor falter, And the brain obeys the will ; Only by the whitening tresses. And the deepening wrinkles told T outh has passed away like vapor ; Prime is gone and I grow old. ; , Laughter hushes at my presence, - Gay young voices whisper lower , If I dare to linger by it. All the stream of life runs slower. Though I love the mirth of children. Though I prize youth's virgin gold, "What have I to do with either ? Time is telling-I grow old. Not so dread the gloomy river That I shrank from so of yore: All my first of love and friendship Gather on the farther shore. Were it not the best to Join them Ere I feel the blood run cold? Ere I hear it said too harshly, Stand back from us you are old ! w. o. a?, xj. TIIE RIGHT TO DRINK THE ; DANGER TRAIN. Personal liberty is insisted on by those who wish to Fell and those who wish to drink intoxicating liquors. They affirm this liberty cannot be obstructed. We say such liberty can not be maintained; a man has no personal right to make himself a drunkard, to make himself a pauper; to make himself a nuisance, to injure his health, to shorten his life. He has no right to debase his moral na ture, to unfit himself for his domestic relations, for his duties as a son, a citizen, a father, a husband. This liberty to drink intoxicating liquors comes in conflict with his duties; it unfits him for them. This takes place in very many instances. It is well ascertained that a majority of those who useintoxieati-g liquors do occa sionally, and some very often, unfit themselves for the places they occupy, and bring disgrace on themselves and their families. Has a son or a father a right to fill other hearts, that should be" dear to them, with sorrow and shame! Has a man a right to make himself a nuisance in his family! There is a false conception of per sonal liberty. There can be no liberty to do,, anything unless there exists a right to do it All the activitiesj in ttie intercourse of this - life are found ed on natural rights. The liberty to drink intoxicating liquors must j be founded on the right to drink. This, we have, shown, canot be maintained. The word intoxicating, always applied to alcoholic liquors, presents their characteristic effects. The attempt to use them and avoid these effects by restricting the quantity is partially successful for a time; the -failures, Ithough often, if slight are concealed. These efforts for concealment with some are long continued, with others they are soon given up, and the evil effects bring dismay, sorrow, .and desolation, The father drunken or the son, and what a frightful scene in that family! And' yet how often does it occur when these drinks are used! Their use is a virtue; the occasion or the company opens the way for a little indulgence, and the appetite, when that sets in, urges with an im portunity that is hard to resist. Drink ing becomes then a needed secret gratification; its controls established, and a wretched, disgraceful life fol lows. This shows the danger of moderation, as it is called. It is well ascertained that more than one-half give way under this trial. Conversing with a gentleman while riding on the steam-cars, this danger was referred to; he admitted it, but replied: "If we are compelled to avoid danger we could not travel on the cars." Hp did not consider that this was the best and safest conveyance, and travelling a necessity; nor i the fact that drinking intoxicating liquor waslnot a necessity; nor the fact that the 'danger on the cars was one of bodily harm, while that of drinking embraced soul and body, tbe interests of time and eternity, of character home, and happiuefes, and all that was worth anything in this world, besides the injury it did to others whom the man was bound to protect and provide for. Nor did he consider the evident certainty that if there was another ! train where perfect! safety was beyond any douot, all persons would trave on tnat; instead or taking passage on one that was so unsafe as to greatly injure at least f one-half of those who patronize it. These all escaped his mind. " j-oiai aostinence is me train or . perfect safety. Water thatr comes from the pure, crystal fountain that God1 supplies is safe refreshing, and beautiful. A'cohol that comes from the still is a substance never found in nature an irritant poison. The tram called moderate drinking is a deception and delusion, that, before life's journey is . finished, utterly wrecks ana ruins many or its passen gers, and injures, to a greater or less extent; certainly half oi them. Many excellent people mink our duty is to reclaim the drunkards Could itms be done, would- it not be a sin to stand by and see as many more made? r The only way to stop this is to stop the selling. This they can see; they want the way open for all to get on. the moderate-drinking tram. As soon as tne neart ana conscience and reason of these people will come to the rescue to suppress this tram the work will be done. The cold water train is the train God has pro vided for every one to go in; it is free or charge, never causes a disaster. Water is refreshing to the thirsty; is a necessity for the body; is the solvent of all our food; transmits the nourish ment to every part, and carries out the .effete matters which injure the healthx By Rev. J. M. Van Buren, in tne Banner. $500 Reward The former proprietor of Dr. Sage's Ca tarrh Rt medy, for years made a stand ing, public offer in all American news papers 'of $500 reward for a case of ca tairh that he could not cure. The pres ent proprietors haye renewed this offer AU the druggists sell this Remedy, to gether with the "Douche," and all other appliances advised to be used in connec tion with it. No catarrh patient is longer able to say, "1 cannot be . cured." i ou get $500 in case of failure. A clergyman at Nashville, Tenn., offers to give $10,000 to any believer in the faith cure who will cure by faith a disease which a reputable practitioner pronounces incurable. Bodily pains and accidents will occur not only "in the best regulated families" but everywhere and at all times. There fore keep Salvation Oil convenient. Price twenty-five cents a bottle. j i ! COMMON SENSE. ' . . ! There is no endowment more valu able, yet . nothing more undervalued, than common sense. It is not an ac complishment that the schools can give, for it is no uncommon thing to see persons destitute .of it, whose edu cation as far as books and competent instructors can avail anything, has been faultless. We cannot possibly define the term, for lexicoeri a uheis themselves have been at war on this point, and failed to give J the true meaning. It has been defined bv some as our lowest rational possession; but if the lowest, it is verv far from beiner the most ceneral.l i We : are told by another that it is "the instantaneous conviction of un nerverted reason." This definition is better, and eroes to prove that it is' an instinctive something independent of habit or education a natural impulse that the latter has not even the honor of developing. Our great "Unabridged" thinks; it is an obsolete something long since out of date. Well, it is a pity it is j if this worthy authority be correct, for we certainly need it more in our daily intercourse with men and in our varied business relations than we do a thor ouerh traininer of our mother tongue, or an initiation into all the intricacies of the babbling tongues of earth. The value ot sound, common sense has ever been appreciated by the wisest and most deep-though ted in everv aere.. Our greatest scholars those who haye been distinguished in the departments of art and science- have unfortunately been woefully de ficient in many instances, in this lowest attainment" common sense. It is true they possessed a rare and full amount of special knowledge, but how to utilize it to the most effective general good and interest they knew not, as they were otten lacking in this same decried quality that would render their knowledge a blessing to themselves and the world as well. Common sense and scientific lore are not imcorapatibles, but they differ much, and we often see the man who has all kinds of sense but common sense, signally fall in all the practical details and relations of life. The all engrossing character of any particular study is apt to retard a general play of all the mental powers, and common sense is dependent upon this for its full exercise. If we wish to possess a good store of this valuable commodity, let us allow and encourage all our faculties to take a full and fair range of mental vision. The common traveler on a gentle eminence can enjoy a broader range of observation if he will give his eye a fair sweep above, around and beneath, than the philosopher who ascends . the , loftiest mountain height and gazes, thought-struck, only upon the narrow ledge of rocks that ensures his footing. And thus it is with special, all-absorbing study and common sense; the one excludes all else, the other embraces every thing. Baltimorean. HUMILITY. Humility has this consolation. It finds that the greatest minds have had the least conceit; that Shakes- Eeare bent down from the impeiial ight of his intellect to be taught by a clown, to be informed b a milk-maid; that Socrates in his celebrated voyage in search of knowledge with his per petual question concerning the cause of things, found that knowledge in a workman's shop which he could not find amongst the school of professors or philosophers; that Newton compar ed himself to a child who, playing on the seashore, had picked up a shell here and a stone there, and knew no more of them. The bullet of steel is worn smooth and polished when it has has passed through the gizzard of an ostrich. The most conceited young prig who ever lived will find his level when brought to the rude experience of the whole world.
