THE GOLDSBORO MESSENGEB, MAT 31, 1886. DOUBLE SHEET . JUDGE NOT. BY ADELAIDE PBOCTOB- J udge not the working: of his brain And of bis heart thou canst not see ; What looks to thy dim eyes attain In God's pure lig-ht may only be A scar, brouffht from some well won field. Where thou wouldst oaly faint and yield. The look, the air, that frets thy sight. May be a token, that below The soul has closed In deadly right With some infernal, fiery foe, WhJse Rlance would Bcorch thy smiling grace And cast thee, shuddering, on thy f ac e. The fall thou darest to despise ! May be, the angel's slackened hand Has suffered it, that he may rise And take a firmer, surer stand ; Or, trusting less to earthly things. May henceforth learn to use his wings. And judge none lost; but wait and see. With hopeful pity, not disdain ; The depth of the abyss may be The measure of the height of pain. And love and glory, that may raise This soul to God in after days! . A BABY CUTTLE FISH. There is a queer baby that lives in the sea. Without fins he can swim; without feet he can walk; and without wings he can shoot through the water, as a bird through air. He has no hands, he is so soft that a rope will cut him in two, and he has but one bone in his body, yet he feeds upon live fish and other creatures which he catches and kills for himself. Though he has no legs he has arms, and they grow out of the top of his head, surrounding his mouth like the spokes of a wheel. All of these fishes have eight arms, and some of them ten, and they have been seen to use them as legswalking on the tips, and look ing like enormous spiders. They have also no lack of names. Some call them Cuttle-fish; fishermen call them Squids, and in sensational stories thev are Devil-fish . The scienti fic family name is Cophalopod, and the little fellow in the picture is a baby Octopus, named after Professor Baird, or as it stands in the bocks, Octopus Ilairdii. This i ueer baby was caught alive on our coast. On the under side of his body, just behind the arms, is a small tube which takes the place of feet and wings and fins. It acts as a sort of pump, and he moves by violently squirting water from it. Generally )t points toward, and the pumping operation sends him backward, which is his favorite way of traveling, but the tube can be turned any way and the Octupus can shoot sideways or even straight forward if he likes. Inside the body is also another im portant thing, a bag of inky fluid, and ,when the creature wishes to hide, he sends some of this fluid out through the tube, thus clouding the' water so that he cannot be seen. Along the under side of the leathery arms are points which look like rows of buttons. One might easily think them ornamental, but so far from that, they are the most useful things he has. They are what he holds on by they are suckers. Where one of these in nocent looking buttons touches any think there it sticks, and cannot be pulled away. On some of the family the suckers have around the edge a horny ring with points like saw-teeth sticking up, and when the sucker takes hold the sharp teeth cut into the flesh of the victim. But the little ones have only soft, leathery suckers, though they can hold on to an object wonder fully. These curious t yellows are often cahght on our coast, and when brought up in a net without being hurt, have been kept alive several days. This which I have been describing lived in a pan where he could be studied. Youth's Companion. CHILDREN'S SHOES. Too much cannot be said against the cruelty for forcing children's feet into short and narrow-toed shoes. A man in a large and fashionable shoe store said that he sometimes used all his strength, that of a well-developed man, to force large feet into small shoes for" grown folks, but when he wiis requested by mothers to put shoes too small on children, he objected. Many children - before they are ten years old7 have incipient corns, bun ions and callouses, caused by foolish pride or carelessness on the part of the mothers. Many do not know that, if a child's foot is allowed to develop naturally, when fully developed it can wear with ease a much smaller shoe than when crowded back and forced out of shape while growing so fast. The foot is a part of the body that completes its growth early, The size of the feet of a growing boy are some times notably large; when the rest of his body has finished its growth the feet are proportionate. If a growing foot is crowded into short shoes, the toes are pushed back and become think at the ends. They are pressed up against the top of the shoes and corns are made. They are enlarged at the great and little joints, causing bunions which are more painful than corns. Narrow-toed shoes cause lap ping of the toes, callouses and corns, especially on the side of the large toe and under the widest part of the foot; ingrowing toe nails are also produced. Corns cannot be cured so long as pres sure is on them. This must first be removed. A man who suffered terri bly with corns said he would giye any thing to cure them. His friend said: 44 You are going up into the mountains; go bare-footed this summer." He did so, and his feet were entirely cured. Another cut the tops of the shoes away, leaving the soles and the leather back of the toe-joints and toes. Good House keeping. SISTEKS AS CONFIDANTS. If a fellow wants a confidant; let him go to his sister. There are many little things in life that a man cannot con sult his mother about, but there ought to be precious little in an honest man's career that he can not confide to his sister. She has no jealousy that will color her advice, no self-interest that will prejudice her course. She never gets too , angry to be spoken to, never allows her own cares to prevent her from doing all that is affectionate and nice to the brother who trusts her. Thousands Say So. Mr. T. W. Atkins, Girard, Kan., writes: " I never hesitated to recommend your Electric Bitters to my customers, they give entire satisfaction and are rapid sel lers." Electric Bitters are the purest and best medicine known and will positively cure Kidney and Liver complaints. Puri fy the blood and regulate trie bowels. No family can afford to be without them They save hundreds of dollars in doctor's bills every year. Sojd at fifty cents a bot tle by Kirby & Robinson. 1 A HINT FOR THE GIRLS. Many a girl is rude in little matters more from the thoughtlessness than anything else, like the two mentioned in this incident: "Cecelia, let us try the piano while we are waiting for Nellie to appear." "Why, no, Tillie, I do not like to. What would Nellie's mother think of us!" 'She wouldn't care. Why should she? The piano 's here to be played upon, isn't it!" Yes after we haye been invited." O, Cecelia, you are too particular; I always sit down and play if I have to wait for anybody." "But suppose somebody in the house if sick, Tillie, or lvingdown?" persisted Cecelia, nervously. This was an argument which ap- Sealed to Tillie's good nature, and she esisted with a half-smiling, half-vexed, "Well, I presum: you do not ob ject to my examining this album." Cecelia smiled, and with a deprecat ing, "O Tillie," opened a bound copy of the Aldine for her own inspection. In a few moments Nellie entered the room, and in the course of the call in vited both her young friends to "per form," which they did, much to the satisfaction of the three. A peculiar smile passed between Tillie and Cecelia, a aay or two after, when their teachers, in giving a few rules of common etiquette, said: "Fourth. Never play on the piano. or other musical instrument until you have been invited to do so by your host or hostess;" but when Miss Agar reached '"Seventh; After ringing the door bell, it is ill-bred not to wait a reasonable time for the bell to be answered before ringing again;'' both looked down, ashamed, for both recol lected transgressions of that law of politeness, which they resolved not to infringe again.

When we gaze upon them, they in crease m size. When in cur thoughts we emphasize and dwell upon them, they sometimes grow almost unbear able. It is well enough to face trouble when it comes to us, to measure it and know its weight, that we may summon up courage and strength sufficient to endure it; but this done, let us place it where it may no longer be incon stant sight - let us carry it manfully and bravely, but not drag it to the light, to dwell upon its weight, and to claim sympathy for being obliged to bear it When the emphasis of life is laid on the cheerful and attractive side, its real burdens will be borne lightly, happiness will abound and be diffused, and the value of life be mul tiplied tenfold. "Now, Gen'ral. you're posted: come! give us your views. In a brush at the front, what's the powder to use?" He winked at a star as he puffed his cigar. And slowly replied, "In a brush at the front I never vise powder, but SOZODONT." Go Where You Will you'll nod SOZODONT in vogue. Peo ple have thrown away their .tooth-powders and washes, and placed this oderif erous preservative ot the teeth on the toi let table in their place. It keeps the teeth in splendid order, and spices the breath. "Spalding's Glue," always up to the sticking point. PLEASE READ. To the Members of the Valley Mutual Life Association of Virginia. The Valley Mutual Insurance Company w-s organized about eight years ago, by some leading business men in the city of StauntoD, for the purpose of furnishing reliable insurance at as low rates as pos sible. Its success has been unprecedented, far exceeding that ot any Company ever before organized in the South It has is sued over 8,000 policies, aggregating over $15,100,000 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 now in a splendid finan cial condition , haying a reserve of $ It 8,000 well invested. It has paid out to widows and orphans oyer $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 business men of StauntonVa. 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. BSFLiberal terms made with Agents. Address CASTER BERKELEY, Manager, Raleigh, N.
