THE GOLDSBORO MESSENGER, MAY 27, 1886.--DOUBLE SHEET. 1 : , m m m for ffirtftifrt.; REST. BY FATHER ABRAM J RYAN- My feet are wearied and m j hands are tired. My soul oppressed ; And I desire what I have longr desired- r Kest only rest. Tis hard to toil, when toil is almost vain In barren ways; " 'Tis hard to sow and never garner grain In harvest days. The burden of my days is hard to bear; But God knows best; And I have prayed.but vain hasbeenmy prayer For rest-sweet rest. Tis hard to plant in Spring and never reap The autum yield; . ; Tis bard to till, and when-'tis tilled to weep O'er fruitless field. And so I cry a weak and human cry. So heart oppressed; And so I sigh a weak and human sigh For rest for rest. My way has wound across the desert years, And cares infest My path, and through the flowing of hot tears I pine for rest. And I am restless still; 'twill soon be o'er, For down the West - Life's sun is setting, and I see the Shore Where I shall rest. RESULT OF COUSINS' MAR RYING. The most pitible case that has yet come under the notice oHbe lunacy committee, was discovered l&week in Fountaiiidale, Adams county, where Jacob Miller a wealthy farmer, was living with hiseight imbecile children. The mother of this miserable family had died several years ago insane, her reason having given away under the terrible strain to which she 'had, been subject. The poor woman had given birth to eleven children between 18C0 and 1874, and not one of her numerous offspring was possessed of a sound mind. Nine children are still living, one daughter, possessed of a limited Kmount of intelligence, having been married. The remaining eight are eared for by their father in his home, which was in a most deplorable con dition when Secretary Ourt and a member of the committee visited the place. Five of the children are drive ling idiots, past all hope of improve ment while the other three 'are some what brighter. The oldest child is the worst of all, scarcely possessing the instincts of an animal. He sits at a window all day long, and from the constant swaying of his body has worn a hole in the windowsill where his head touches' the .woodwork. Mr. Mil ler expressed a deep affection for his unfortunate children; He said that they were well fed and seemed happy, though he was not able to keep them well clothed on account of their filthy habits. It was learned that Mr. and Mrs. Miller were blood cousins of the first degree, and to this fact alone the members of the committee attributed the imbecility of their offspring. The father however had no explanation for the matter, and he looked upon the affliction as a stroke of Providence. A singular phase of the affair is that the committee can nnd no legal way of reaching the case. Two daughters, twelve and four years of age respect ively, and one of the sons, are capable of improvement if placed in a proper institution, such as the Media Train ing School; but as Mr. Miller is well-to-do, owning two hundred acres of land, and the children not insane, the committee cannot invoke the children a State charge. The matter was then laid before the society to protect chil dren from cruelty, but after a consul tation of the officers with their solic itor it was found that the society could not interfere, as there is no provision in the law by which it can take charge of imbecile children. Dr. Ourt said yesterday: "This is the most deplorable case that has ever come under my notice. The father does not seem to comprehend his re sponsibility. Three of the boys are able to work on the farm, and as long as the physicial wants of the children are satisfied Mr. Miller is contented. When 1 asked him what would become of these children when he died he answered that he had not thought of such a contingency. The married daughter has two children whose minds are also said to be weak, and I tremble tor the consequences when the other daughters grow, older.'' Philadelphia Record. FOK MARRIED WOMEN. Always remember you are married to a man and not a god; be prepared for imperfections. Once in a while let your husband have the last word;' it will gratify him and beno particular loss to you. Do be reasonable; it is a great del to ask under some circumstances; reasonable women are rare be rare. Anticipate the discovery by your husband that you are "only a woman;" if you were not he would not care about you. Remember that servants are made ; of the same material as you are; a little coarser grained, perhaps, but the same in essentials. Let your husband read the news paper at breakfast table; it is unso ciable, but then it is only a trifle after all, and he likes it. Head something in the papers be sides fashion notes and society col umns; have some knowledge of what is going on in foreign countries. Try and forget yourself; as to your husband, forget that you married him and remember that he married you; he will then probably do the reverse. Be a companion to your.husband if he is a wise man; and if he is not, try and make him become your compan ion. Raise his standard; do not let him lower yours. Let your husband know more than you do once in a while; it keeps up his self-respect and you will be none the worse for admitting that you are not actually infallible. Respect your husband's prejudices, lespect his relations, especially his mother she is not the less his mother because she is your mother-in-law; she loved him before you did. Excitement in Texas. Great excitement has been caused in the vicinity of Paris, Tex., by the remark able recovery of Mr. J. E. Corley, who was so helpless he could not turn in bed, ir raise his head; everybody said he was dying of Consumption. A trial bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery was sent him. Finding relief, -he bought a large bottle and a box of Dr. King's New Life Pills; by the time he had taken two boxes oi Pills and twro bottles of the Discovery, he was well and had gained in flesh thirty six pounds. Trial Bottles of this Great Discovery for Consumption free at Kirby & Robinson's Drug Store, Messenger build ing, Goldsboro, N. C-. Picture Frames of all kinds, sold cheap at Fuchtler & Kern's.

"That tenon does not fit the mor tice by a quarter of an inch," said an employer to a young carpenter who had just commenced work for him I thought that for a garden gate you would not be particular, and it would make no difference," answered the young man. But it did make a difference. It made just the difference between the young carpenter having a steady sum mer job' at good wages, and having his time unoccupied upon his hands. The employer found no further fault but when the gate was finished, he paid the maker, and without, another word dismissed him. The next day there was another man in his place. He happened to be a man who thought it diet make a difference how every thing was done. He always did his best: and he kept his situation till the end of the season. So it happens. Frequently some little thing which is not expected to attract attention is noticed dv some one to whom the excellence of tne work has commended it self, and the . man who has made painstaking the rule of all his labor, is surprised by a sudden and unlooked for accession of good fortune. He has been brought into note by some unconsidered trifle, which was well done merely because it was his habit to do everything as well as possible. On the other hand, 'many a man who is lamenting his ill fortune, and does not know what to attribute it to, owes it to some such carelessness in the way of doing his work as that which doom ed the young carpenter to a summer of profitlesss idleness. Men are bjT no means always told by what particu lar act they are judged; but any good performance is always to make, and any bad performance is always likely to mar, a fortune. selected. THE STAIN DARD BEARER. There is a beautiful story of an old elephant engaged in a battle on the E lams of India. He was' a standard earer, and carried on his huge back the royal ensign, the rallying point of the Poona host. At the'begmning of the fight he lost his master. The driver had given him the word to halt, when he received a fatal wound, and fell to the ground, where he lay underaheap of slain. The obedient elephant stood still while the battle closed around him and the standard he carried. He never stirred a foot, refusing to ad vance or retire, as the conflict became hotter and fiercer, until the Mahrattas, seeing the standard still flying steadily in its place, refused to believe that thev were beaten, and rallied again and again round the colors. All this while, amid the din of bat tle, the patient animal stood strain ing its ears to catch the sound of that voice it would never hear again. At length the tide of conquest left the field deserted. Mahrattas swept on in pursuit of the flying foe, but the elephant like a rock, stood there im movable, with the dead and dying around, and the ensiern waving: in its place. For three days and nights it remain ed where its master had given the command to halt. No bribe or threat could move it. They then sent to a village nearly one hundred miles dis tant, and brought the driver's little son. The noble hero seemed then all at once to remember how the driver, his master, had sometimes given his authority to the little child, and im mediately , with all the shattered trap pings clanging as he went, paced quietly and slowly away from the field ot battle under ance. the little fellow's guid- A Multitude of Ailments. The ailments which afflict the kidneys and bladder are so numerous, that merely to name them would fill a. space far out running the limits of this article. Suffice it to say, that they are both obstinate and dangerous. To their prevention Hostet ter's Stomach Bitters is well adapted. ,The stimulus which it lends to the action of the kidneys when they are lethargic, serve to counteract a tendency in them to lapse, first, into a state of pernicious inactivity, and afterwards into one of positive or ganic disease, which soon destroys their delicate integuments, poisons the blood and causes death. A double purpose is servecLby this depurent. It promotes ac tivity of the kidneys, and expch impuri ties from the blood which have no natu ral channel of outlt t except those organs. Constipation, biliousness, fever and ague, j rneumausm ana dyspepsia, are also rem j edied by this medicine of th rough action and wide scope Teacher "What is an engineer?"

The Valley Mutual Insurance Company w s organized about eight years ago, by som orUng business men in the city of Stau:i the purpose of furnishing reliable insurance at as low rates as pos sible. Its success has been unprecedented, far exceeding that oi any Company ever before organized in the South It has is sued over 8,000 policies, aggregating over $15,000,000 of insurance now in force. It has met all of its losses promptly in the past, and is abundantly able to do so in the future, and is how in a splendid finan cial condition, haying a reserve of $1C8,000 well invested. It has paid out to widows and orphans over 500,000, and the records at Raleigh will show that it has the largest income and pays more taxes than any Company operating in the State, with one exception. In verification of the above statements, I refer to the National Banks, and any of the leading busim ss men of Staunton, Va. Notwithstanding these facts, malicious and designing persons are going through the State defaming the Company and trying to destroy its usefulness. I call on our policy-holders to stand firm, and give me the names of the slanderers, and the special charge they make. "Liberal terms made with Agents. Address CABTEB BERKELEY, Manager, IUleigh, N.
