N THEGOllDSBORO MESSENGER, MARCH 22, 1886.-DOUBLE SHEET. DOW T S TA Y AFTER TEN. I have just a word to say to you When me you come to see : You know that hone in all the world Is half as dear to me. 'T this, I would request of you, , That when you come again -j To see me in the evening:, t - You won't stay after ten. For after ten. as momenta fly, I tremble o'er and o'er, ; Lest papa's visage I should see Come peeping- at the door. He's there to execute his threat ; He said he'd surely come If e'er you stayed so late again, And tell you to go home. And when I down to breakfast go Papa will frown at me. An i say : My child, that beau of yours Is going to hear from me ; This sort of thing I Will not have ; So when ho comes again I'll just go down and show him out, If he don't go at ten." And so, though your society Makes heart and soul throb warm, I heave a sigh of vast relief At your retreating form. You know that you are welcome, a.ye, Oh ! best, beloved of men ; Hut many a scolding you have caused by stay 'iHQ o fter ten ! PLANS IX LIFE. It is somewhat surprising the vast disproportion between "promising children" and really noted men and women, whether we consider any one community or the world at large. Yet each .fresh juveuile addition to the family is a greater prodigy of beauty or wit or precocity than the preceed- iug, and the fond parents predict with confidence that such or such a child will "make his mark in the world." But it happens ottener than otherwise that the child who does make his mark in the world is dull as a child and shows slicrht promise of power in mature years. There is no reason in this. Each individual is born with a certain measure of vitahty, anjd if this meas ure.isexhausted by premature develop merit, there must ensue ar middle age , and an old age of mediocrity. "We cannot have our broad and eat it too." - As soon as a boy begins to wear pants, and often before, bis parents begin to decide what he shall be when lie is a man.1 Some parents call their sons to the ministry, some to the law, some to medicine. How many ex- ministers we have! How many who studied law and have not practised it How many who studied medicine and have- not practised it! It by no means follows because of this that the time and money and intellectual effort invested in studying a profession that is nor practised is inrown away: nenn . er can it be shown that the investment thus made could not have been made to tar greater advantage. There are a great many positions or usefulness and honor to oe failed which it is not possible to prepare specially for, simply because these positions cannot be anticipated. We never hear of a 3'oung man prepar ing to be president of a college, or a member of the cabinet, or a minister to foreign parts. There are a great many, young men who cannot decide before they leave college what they shall be; they, resolve to be something, and cultivate themselves in one direc tion and another till they find the place to which they are adjusted. The case of two brothers is exactly in point. The elder finds himself drawn to the law, and has mapped out the course he intends to pursue. So many years in college, so many studying law, then admission to tne bar and practise.. The other, when a friend said, "I suppose you'll be a lawyer, . or a doctor, or a minister, or some thing," replied, "Not a lawyer, not a kloctor, not a minister, but that some ! thing. For theology I have no taste; the idea of perpetual litigation is ab horrent to me: I do not believe I could ever! learn to cut up a human body; but I think there is a place for me in the wTorld, and a work to do. What I how intend is to give myself a hard, thorough, practical education, and then find something to do in some field of enterprise that shall be con genial with my powers and worthy of them." Who shall say that one brother is not as thoroughly sensible as the other? The - latter will not choose what he does not feel called to, merely for the sake of choosing something. The former, though he decide uoon the profession of law, may find him self forced by the pressure of circum stances into quite a different line of activity from that he selects. We have instances of this change of base every aay. "Act well thy part, there all the honor lie's." It doesn't matter so much what particular thing we do, as that we do well whatsoever our hands find to do. Charlotte Cushman made a success ou the stage at a time when to bean actress was a reproach, when the theatre was denounced universally by the pulpit in the cities where she played.! She 'preserved an unsullied reputation, and did more to elevate her profession in the estima tion of the best people in the United States than any other woman in this country ever did. No English-speaking woman ever received sucn an ovation as was given her in New York on the occasion of her retire ment from the stage. Men who make dresses well, wTho make good leather, fine chocolate, good glue, get to be princes in their way. Witness Worth, Postmaster Jewell, Meniec of France, and Peter Cooper. A A few years ago the whole matter of cooking and housework, especially in cities and villages, was given over to Irish servant girls, in various stages of greenness. Xow, through the well directed energies of Miss Parloa, in Boston, anil Miss Corson, in New York, aided by intelligent, women of the press, cookery and housekeeping are taking their places where they belong among the fine arts. The man or woman .who aims as high as he pr she is capable of aiming, and plans as far as he or she is capable of planning, and then steadily works for the accomplishment of their aims and plans, "with toil of heart, and knees, and hands," has no occasion to feel abashed in any presence. The highest award given to anybody by the Master, is, "Well done, good and is, faithful servant?'1 If Queen Victoria receives this at the last, in what will she be. superior to her humblest sub ject, who receives the same reward. "To whom much is given, of him will much be required." It is wise in planning for the future of our children that their tastes and proclivities be taken into the account. A boy witha passion for art will never be a good farmer or a good doctor; time and money are thrown away in trying to iorce mm m one direction when he was designed by nature to go in another. The annals of biography are full of instances of men and women who, in 'spite 6t pa rental prohibition and restraint, forced their way to fame in .'the path of their choice. Opposition is needed by some natures to rouse them to the exercise of their powers. A great many, however, who might have attained position if encouraged, to cultivate their special . talents, have been dwarfed and blighced bjr dis couragement from parentsand friends, and robbed of the success and happi ness that might have been theirs. There is a vast difference in people with respect to the power of planning. Some men and some women can think out the whole programme of an enter prise in all its details, and work up to it. Others can see the first step to be taken and the second, but not the third and fourth until they are ready to take them. Asa general rule, tl os who can map out their lives have more to show for their labor than those j who cannot. They do not lose tim in revising and changing their work and in correcting mistakes. But "it is required of a man according to that he hath, and; not according to that he hath not." The most powerful novel of the age was not planned.- It grew, like a tree, chapter by chapter, till it stood complete, and overshad owed the whole land from Main to California. "Man proposes, God disposes." Whatever our plans may be for our selves, or our children, they are sub ject to perpetual revision by a higher power. Acquiescence in His revisions is all that is left us, and the more ready and cheerful this acquiescence is. the more easily mav we form new plans upon the ruins of the old, and continually turn disaster and djsap pointment into the nutriment o virtue. . A HINT CONCERNING PRO FANITY. Don't you find that you swear under certan conditions, in certain circum stances, ana that you don't swear under other certain conditions? You are sitting at your family table. You never tell an off-colored story there You never swear there, and this is not on the theory that a man thinks when he swears either. With tha class ofcattle I am not dealing. A man who intentionally swears, who rejoices m dirt and vulgarity and wickedness, is the kind of man I am not talking to. I am speaking to or dinary human beings like myself, who are governed by circumstances, dom inated by surroundings, to whom life of thought and expression and action here is totally different from a line of thought and action and ex pression there, and absolutely with out any intention, so iar as mjvpre thought directs. If you can control your thoughts and your phrases; m your home circle, in your school, you can control them in your store, in your office, pn your play-ground. POVERTY AND MARRIAGE. Honest poverty should rarely be a bar to wedlock? Granted that two people are to exist at all in this world, they can commonly live more cheaply, more comportably, and more purely in one home than they can m two separate homes. ' Tens of thousands of happy, honorable, and holy mar riages have been consummated where no "cards ' were issued, and no bridal gifts were bestowed except an honest nana and loving heart. SHE WAS CATCHING UP. A lady about 30 years of age mar ried a wealthy old bachelor. A female triend asked her: "But, i.ll 1 "I 1 i ten me, wnv aian t vou marrv vour Husband ten years ago 7 "Well, you see, ten years ago he was too old for me." MISFORTUNE. Should misfortune overtake, re trench, work harder, but never fly; confront difficulties with unflinching perseverance, bhould you then fail, you will be honored; but shrink, and you will be despised. t . . No- Boon that Science has Conferred Has been fraught with greater blessings than that which has accrued to the in- nauiiaiiwj oi malarial iidaen portions ol the United States and the Tropics from the use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitter?. The experience of many vcars has but ,oo clearly demonstrated the inefficiency of quinine and ether drugs to effectually comoat tne progress oi intermittent, con gestive and bilious remittent fevers, while on the other hand, it has been no less clearly shown that the use of the Bitters, a medicine congenial to the fraile&t con stitution, and derived from purely botanic sources, affords a reliable safeguard against malarial disease, and arrest it when de veloped. For disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels, for general debility and renal inactivity, it is also a most efficient remedy. Appetite and sleep are improved by it, it expels rheumatic humors from the blood, and enriches a circulation im poverished by mal-assimilation. "If I cannot have the fat of the land I can take a little lean," said a tramp as he rested his shoulder against a lamp-post. . ; Blowing up Hell Gate has been a laborious and costly work, but tne ena justmes the enort. Obstruction in any important channel means disaster. Obstructions m the orerans of the human body bring inevitable disease. They must be cleared away, or physical wreck will follow. Keep the liver in order, and the pure blood courses through the body conveyinK health, strength and life: let it become disordered and the channels are c'ogged with impurities,! which result in disease and death. Nd other medicine equals Dr. Fierce's "Golden Medical Dis covery" for acting upon the liver and pu rifying the blood THI MUTUAL TETJST FUND Life Association. Goldsboro, N. C., Feb. 20. 1886. Dr. C. D. Rice, Southern SIanager of the Mutual Trust Fund Life Association, Atlanta, Ga. Dear biR : I liave been a member of your 'Association for near twelve months, ana am satished with its operations.
