THE GOLDSBORO MESSENGER, FEBRUARY 1, 1886.-DOUBLE SHEET. SEALED ORDERS. Out she swung1 from her moorings, And over the harbor bar. As the moon was slowly rising I Bine faded from sight afar " Arid we traced her gleaming canvas ; y the twinkling evening star. None knew the port she sailei for, 1 Nor whither her course would be ; ! Iler future course was Bbrouded i I In 6ilence and mystery ; Shn was sailing beneath " sealed orders I To be opened out at sea. , Some souls, cut off from moorings, Go drifting into the night, Darknf ss before and round them. With scarce a glimmer of light ; They are acting beneath "sealed orders j And sailing by faith, not sight. Keeping the lino of duty. Through evil and good report. They shall ride the storms out safely, Be the voyage long or short ; ' For the ship that carries God's orders Shall anchor at last in port.. . Sai or 8 Magaztnr NOT ABOVE WORK. i "Never be ashamed of your busi ness" is a wholesome proverb. If one has an honest business he need not fppl ashamed of it. Some young per sons act as if they thought any kind of honest toil menial and degrading. But they are wrong. "Man hath his tlailv work of body and mind Appointed, which declares his dignity. When the service is for the good of men or the glory of God, and is per formed in the right spirit, it must eyer be ennobling. It i3 the work we do in an unwilling, slavish spirit that degrades us. Toil is manl , even if it be that of a boot-black. "If I were a boot-black," said a noble Christian man, "I would strive to be the best in the world." The lad who determines toj do his best everywhere, in every place, however lowly,, where honest wbrk is heeded, will soqa rise to honor. "If little labor, little are our gams, Man's fortunes are according to his pains." Not 16ng since a young man was asked to carry a small package of written paper to his sick relative, but he turned up his nose with theanswer, "Now you don't now; send it by an expressman." ... One evening, near the hour for clos ing a store in Philadelphia, a bundle of prints j was ordered in haste by a house not more than a block distant. The carts and porters had gone. The merchant; requested one of his young men to deliver the bundle, but as he did so he perceived a look of disgust jin the clerk's face, and without sav ing another word he turned to his desk, put on his hat, picked up the bundle, walked off to deliver it him self, leaving his proud clerk dumb with mortification as well as with fear of losing a good position. ! There are some city-bred boys who act as if they were "above carv ing a market-basket home." Even when mother is bearing a heavy load for their sakes, they think it "degrad ing" to be seen doing such service. They soon get too big to wait on themselves. They grow up to be of less use in the world than butterflies. The following story of one of the greatest men of America is worth im pressing upon each generation of youth: Chief-Justice Marshall was a great Hnd good man. Good men are not broud men, for pride is an indication bf a little mind. Chief Justice Mar shall was not too proud to wait upon himself. He was in the habit of oing to market, himself, and carry ing home his purchases. Often might he be seen returning at sunrise with poultry in one hand and vegetables jjn the other, in the most homely fash Son.1 On one of these occasions, a fash ionable young man was swearing violently because he could find no one to carry home his game. Judge Mar shall stepped up, gently rebuked him, arid asked him .where he lived. When he heard the reply he said, "That is on my way and I will take your game home for you.77 When they came to the house, the young man inquired: "What shall I pay you?" "0, noth ing" said the Judge. "You are wel come; it was all in the way, and was no trouble to me." "iWho is that polite old gentleman who brought home my game for mef" asked the young man of a bystander. f'U,7' said he, 'that was Judge Mar- hall, Chiefs Justice of the United Btates." "Why did he brine mv jarae!" "He did it," said the bystand er, f'l suppose, by way of teaching! vou not to be above attending to your own business!" BABY'S CUKLS. There was a little dispute between 'it a certain papa ana mamma about ilarry's curls. Papa thought them unhealthy and uncomfortable. The iiair hanging; over ins torehead was too damp and warm for hot weather, and besides might make him cross eyed; and the .long curls hanging ilown his back made him crane his -heck and hump his shoulders, so that he was liable to become, through sheer discomfort, high-shouldered and a.'. a .1 i il -L a. t - a . i couiracteu inj ine cuesi. uesiaes, n was too old at five years to be made sch a baby of. He would neyer learn . to be manly at this rate. 'Mamma would not believe a word of it, because her darling boy looked so pretty in his long, flaxen curls. Qnly soap-curls, it must be confessed; arjd she had a long, hard task every day to make them and keep them decent. Bdt she would make any sacrifice fcfr the dear child when he looked so lovely afterward. As for the temper he usually dis played during the process, that was to be expected. Children always grum bled over their toilet. . When she took him out walking or calling hd. attracted a great deal of attention on the street and from her lady friends, who were lavish of their compliments. Harry was growing vain. There was no doubt of it. "How wrong of people to flatter a child openly on his appearance!" she would say. 4 'They have no idea how much harm they die doing." When papa would say, "I think I must take this boy to the barber this very day," mamma ' would argue: 'It would not be sate to havo his hair cut until there is a change in the weather." A lew days later papa would again complain. or the hot tore head and hair-hanging- over the eyes. Mamma would pat the damp locks dowtrloringly to make them "look right," but plead: ."Obf don't take him to the barber till I get his photo graphtaken." In course of time Harry took scarlet f everV His hair became limp and thin and tangled over the little fevered head, and the doctor ordered it to be . . i , .. . : ) cut off, to the child's immediate re lief. . . When he was well again he looked like ordinary boys with cropped heads. Nobody ever looked at him twice or thought of compliments, tie ceased to be vain, and with the omission 'of the daily torture with soap and brush bis ill temper vanished. But mamma heaved a little bit ot a sigh, nevertheless, while forcedito ad mit: "PaDa was rierht. He is Ibetter without the curls and a great deal happier too." Babyhood. ? THE CRANKS. j What would we do were it not for the cranks! flow slowly the tired old world would move, did not the cranks keen it rushincralong! Colum hns was a prank on the subiect. of American discoverv and circumnavi- eration. and at last he met the fate of most cranks, was thrown into prison, and died in poverty and disgrace. Greatly .venerated now! Oh, yes, Telemachus, we usually esteem a crank most profoundly after we starve him to death. Harvey was a crank nn t.he snbiectof the circulation of blood; Galileo was an astronomical crank; Fulton was a crank on the sabiect of steam navigation: Morse was a telegraph crank. All the old abolitionists were cranks. The Pil- grinrFathers were cranks; John Bun- yan was a crank; and any man who doesn't think as vou do, my son, is a crank. And by the by the crank you despise will have his name in every man's mouth, and a half completed monument to his memoiy crumbling down in a dozen cities, while nobody outside of your native village will know that you ever.lived. Deal gently with the crank, my boy. Of course some cranks are crankier than others, but do youlbe yery slow to sneer at a man because he knows only one thing and you. can't understand him. A ciank, Telemachus, is a thing that turns somethincr, it makes the wheels go around, it insures progress. True, it turns the same wheel all the time, and it can't do anything else, but mats what keeps the ship going ahead. The thing that goes in for varietv. versatility, that changes its position a hundred times a day. that is no crank; that is the weather van6; mv son. What? You nevertheless thank heaven you are not a crank! Donrt do that my son. Maybe you couldn't be a crank if you would. "Heaven is not very particular when it wants a weather vane; almost any man will do for that. But when it wants a crank, my boy, it looks very carefully for the best man in the com munity. Before you "thank heaven that you are not a crank, . examine yourself carefully, and see what is the great deficiency that debars you from such an election. Bob Burdette. YOUTH, AGE AND KNOWL EDGE. "Yes, "as men sir," said Jones to Smith, grow m age and experience "I don't think so replied Smith." "Don't think so? That's rather singular. The opinion I hold on the subject is the universal opinion.'.' "It may be, but I have my own opinion, nevertheless, and it is that the younger we are the more we know. When I was a youth I knew twice as much as my father. Now I am aged and 1 1 don't know half as much as my son.;'' Boston Gazrtte. A Mystery How the human system ever recovers from the bad etfects of the nauseous med icines often literally poured into it for the suppositive relief of dyspepsia, liver com plaint, constipation, rheumatism and other ailments, is a mystery. The mis chief done by bad medicines is scarcely less than that caused by disease. If they who are weak, bilious, dyspeptic, consti pated or rheumatic, would oftener be gui ded by the experience of invalids who have thoroughly tested Hostetter's Stom ach Bitters, they would in every instance obtain the speediest aid derivable lrom rational medication. This medicine is a searching and at the same time a thor oughly safe remedy, derived from vegeta ble sources, and possessing, in conse quence of its basis of pure spirits, prop erties as a medicinal stimulant not to be found in the fiery local bitters and stimu lants often resorted to by the debilitated dyspeptic and languid. Inventors say that no device has yet been invented that will secure perfect and even temperature in a railroad car during cold weather.
