THE GOLDSBORO MESSENGER, MARCH 29, 1886.--DOUBLE SHEET. 7Y DOOR OF JfEAVEX. BY MADGE EIXIOT. The sun was sinking in the west. And brighter than the rarest gems E'er set in princely dia lems. And rich in tints as irest flowers, . The cloud-land glowed, and sparsshewers ; of light fell on thQ earth's broad breast. ' Oirfair-haiitoyjn hushed surprise ( Few years have passed since ihe was sent , To fill our hearts with sweet content), Stood In our doorway, 'neath the shade The overhanging rose-vine made, Watching the ever-changing skies. Our baby boy unknown of sin No word he spoke till pno great light Flashed o'er the world and left it night , Then, while a rev'rent look he wore. He said, "God opened Heaven's door. Mamma, to let the sun go in!' 351Y LAST GLASS. ' From early childhood I was permit ted to partake occasionally of the different t wines in daily use on the table of my stepfather, and as I grew to manhood drank frequently from mauy choice brands with which our criiests were reeraled. I liked the taste of the stronger ones, and the exciting effects were far from being disagree able to me. I was" fast becommer what some of my chosen companions called "a con vivial fellow," and was silly enough to be pleased with the appellation. YKTl-..r.. in f nTAnttr.firct. von r mv tnotfipr had the daughter of one ofn her earliest and dearest friends spend insr the summer with us. Grace Stanley was a girl of eigh teen, and peculiarly attractive in nerson and manner. We were natu rally thrown much together; and after a fhw weeks I became conscious of a gradually deepeding attachment, and had reason to hope that my feel ings were in some degree reciprocated bv her. Grace never took wine with us, and when I was in the act of lifting a third or fourth glass to my lips, I had more than once observed the sweet, brown eyes of our visitor fastened upon me with a beseeching expression, and as 1 smiled in return, and swallowed the contents of the glass, the look be came one of intense pain, and all the color forsook her face. One; day we had been on a little i rambling excursion, and returning after the hour for luncheon had pass ed, stopped in a rural bower on our own grounds,- where refreshments were brought to us. Among other delicacies a decanter of wine was, as usual, placed upon the table. T seated myself opposite my com "panion, and rilling a glass, offered it to her, though Knowing, or course, that she would decline, as was her custom. I had then raised it partially to my own lips, when I perceived a deathly pallor overspread the features of Grace, and she, trembling rrom head to foot, suddenly sprung up and dashed the glass from my hand to the floor;,, almost shrieking, "Don't you seethe voimrionn worm coued in the bottom of the glass!" Then her - strength gave way, and she would have fallen had I not prevented it. She became unconscious; and on my summoning aid was immediately J taken to the house, and a physician called. For several days she, was so ill that I was not permitted to see her, an 1 during that time my anxiety was so great that I wandered restlessly about, taking no interest in anything, and. not once tasting wine. When Grace began to get better, my mother allowed me, in company with herself, to visit the sick-room. I was greatly shocked at her paleness, and troubled by her constrained man ner during my presence. My call was therefore; a short one, and my own nnhappiness increased by it. Soon after, the patient gained strength sufficient to take exercise on the verandahs .and terraces.' And I was ever ready to attend her in these walks, sometimes with my mother, and sometimes alone. During these seasons I strove to con vinceG race by ray heart felt tenderness of manner that she reigned supreme in my affec tion?. She grew to oe more trustful and confiding, and by degrees I drew from her the cause of the singular excitement which had resulted in her recent illness. She; confessed having felt anxious for some time lest my fondness for wine should become a fatal tempta tion to excess. She had observed with distress that I was almost un consciously increasing the amount from day today. She told me then, too, what my mother had never re vealed, that the father of Grace, a man of brilliait intellect and elegant appearance, bad ruined the wedded life of his companion, and died a con firmed drunkard. Oh, the distress of my beloved Grace as she disclosed to me "this sad history! addiug that at the time of our garden I. luncheon, as I raised the glass ,with such seemingi assurance of safety, her father's dreadful end came vividly befbre her, and to her excited imagi nation there lay coiled in the bottom of the glass which the next instant I would have drained to the dregs, the fearful serpent which poisoned her mother's life, causing her heart to break, and made a wreck of her father, ruining him soul and body. It is needless to say that I never resumed the habit of drinking, thus timely broken in upon; and to my darling wife as an instrument in tho hands of our Heavenly Father I owe it that I am not now a drunkard, mak ing all about me wretched, instead of the happy, Christian husband that I am, respected and beloved by three noble sons, and equally honored ; by their fair sisters, who are never tired of hearing how their mother when a young girl saved me from disgrace and ruin. J. P. B.in Adtocateand Guardian. The Beginnings of Sickness. Never trifle with what are called small ailments Jx disorder easy ot control at? first, if neglected for a few weeks maybe come a mortal disease. Be . especially care! ul not to let debility gain upon you, for it is the door through which all mala dies enter the system. If you feel lan guid, nert, and to use a common expres sion, as if there, was no life left in yon," resort at once to Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters. That great vegetable tonic will sup ply the vitality you so urgently need. It is nerve food: By its tonic action? the stomach is so invigorated that digestion becomes regular, easy, perfect ; while its mild, cathartic properties relieve the bowels from obstructions, and its altera- I tive operation beneficially affects all the secretive organs. J? or the miseries of dy spepsia, ana they include almost every .unpleasant feeling that belongs to physi cal disease and mental wretchedness, this potent tonic is a certain and speedy balm. ' OUR DUTY. Many persons think if they do i large amount of good in this life it is all that God requires of them; but to do our duty humbly, faithfully and bravely is in jHis eye. a higher and more sublime service. ' -? With this class such service would have its objections, as the path of duty is too often, a thorny or stony one, and at th& end of it they do not always find the laural wreath of man's appreciation. ! It pays better, too, they think, t . . . , -i i i.i t go Dlinaroiaea tnrougn ine uy-ways of want and amiction, ana upon ine city's great pinnacles flaunt the gay Hag or ostentatious cnarity ana vynns- tian benevolence; tor then it win oe seen, and their name will be embla zoned in Durble and erold as one of the great benefactors who have glori fied their race and generation oy a thousand deeds of love and mercy. Centuries agp a great man commit ted the same mistake in thinking high worship and sacrifice, and incense and burnt offering's were more acceptable to God than simple duty that lay daily in hidfcath unheeded. This error was severely rebuked by ' God, who would rather have seen the heart right than all this ostentatious display of outer reverence. David knew better; he thought his men should be rewarded for an humble and patient performance of duty to whatever post they might be assigned, menial or otherwise, as well as for active service- in the world-lauded victory for which their names were to be made immortal. We believe God's measurement of reward is by a similar standard of "judgment and iustice, not by the false estimate cf man's recognition. The patient, un ceasinsr care of the watcher over the helpless suffering invalid, whose every need through long-vigiled nights and weary days has been unmurmuringly and faithfully supplied, is crowned a victory by God as surely as the great leader or a mighty nation or army who has, to the best of his ability, dis charged the severe and arduous duties that have fallen to his lot, and is as sure of the "Well done" plaudits as if his little sphere had been as perilous and responsible. The highest knowledge we should seek should be; to Know what duty is and wherein our individual path it lies, and how to discharge it. The writer once knew a lady whose soul was so fired by missionary zea that she had no time, no means, no sympathy to expend upon suffering in a more limited and obscure field, and when appealed to for money to alleviate the distresses of a poor aged friend, she could not stoop to redress human woes in so narrow a sphere, but kept herself for a grander invest ment that would win the public recog nition, Where in her Bible did she find such teachings, and how does she define Christian love and charity? Duty was the watchword of the immortal Lee and few men have ever been so faithful in its perfom ance as was this noble Christian war rior and teacher. Thrice blessed is he who walks ever in the pathway of duty, for before, him lies that "exceed ing great reward" which so far sur passes any mere earthly recompense of which we can' conceive. Baltimorean ARABIAN MAXIMS. Thanks are, ; frequently, no more than a secret desire to receive greater benefits. Choose your friend early, because life is short. Death is nearer to us than the eyelid to the eye. The world is a field sowed lor an other life. The most miserable disease is ignor ance. All secrets, which pass beyond two, make themselves known. Where the heart is inclined, there also wilMhe feet be turned. Prefer the day of to-day to that of to-morrow. , He who is of unknown origin is dis covered by his works. The little which suffices, is better than the much which disturbs us. The best of riches is contentment; the worst of poverty is low spirits. Labor for this life, as if thou wert to live forever; and for the other, as if though wert to die to-morrow. Guard thyself from auger, because its beginning is madness, and its end repentance. j , Gratitude perpetuates benefits. Follow truth, and liberty will follow you. j The beginning of piety, is to fly from sin. The devotion of man is comformable with his belief. Faith profits nothing without piety. Never expect praise, unaccompani ed by censure, until after death. "A little fire is quietly trodden-out Which, being- suffered, rivers rannot quench." Procrastination may rob you of time, but by increased diligence you can make up the loss; but if it rob you of 'life the loss i3 irremediable, If your health is delicate, your appetite fickle, your sleep broken, your mind depressed, your whole being out of sorts, depend on it you are seriously diseased. In all such cases Dr. Pierce's "Golden Medical Discovery" will speedily effect a genuine, radical cure make a new nian of you and save you from the tortures of lingering disease In a late lecture at Yale, Prof. Ar thur T. Hadley 'states that no less than 15,000 persons were injured an nually in the United States from the single duty of coupling cars. This estimate is made from statistics of surgical aid given to such cases. There's nothing half so sweet in life ; (Next to the joys of home and wife) As trajrrant breath, and pearly teeth.
