THE GOLD SBORO MESSENGER, JUNE 1 0, 1 886. DOUBLE SHEET. as ne ujj m h u Kit I Y jlcf KSJ E IVHJ KKXft- CONFEDERATE MEMORIAL DAY, Come forth, fair daughters of the South, On this memorial day ; ' . - Let blessings fall from every mouth On those who wore the gray. Muffle not thy drum, O drummer toy On this memorial day ; For every heart should swell with joy As we honor the Southern gray. The babbling brook, as it rolls along i On this memorial day We hear it singing the same sad song To those who wore the gray. The violet in its mossy bed On this memorial day. Wafts sweet odors o'er the dead, ; And those who wore-the gray. - - Clearly rings the bugle's note On this memorial day, While anthems rise from every throat i In honor of the Southern gray. Slowly waves the verdant grass r On this memorial day, And dew-drops sparkle as we pass Around the conquered gray. . The rose that bends o'er yonder grave On this memorial day Stands as a sentinel watching the brave, j Guarding the Southern gray. Weeping, the mother sheds a tear i On this memorial day -Over the boy 6he i loved so dear, Who died defending the gray. The sun sinks slowly in the West On this memorial day. And leaves the warrior calmly to rest, Wrapt la the Southern gray. ' -j Peace to thy ashes, O soldier brave, On this memorial day, For we only return to Him who gave ; The heroes that wore the gray. A BICAVJE BOY, OR MERIT RECOMPENSED. "Henry Hinkle," said a .beautiful young lady, as she threw up the gash of the 'window at which she was standing1, "tell that dirty boy to get off the stoop at once." Henry Hinkle,. the liyeried footman who was arranging the mats in an elegant coupe before the door, at once movel toward the boy in obe dience to his lovely mistress' com mand. But the boy, evidently a bootblack, spared him the trouble by rising at once and walking slowly away. He was a poor, emaciated, forloirn looking fellow, with his clothes hang . ing about him in tatters, and his bare toes peeping through the wide cracks in his ill-mated shoes, but he had as much pride in his humble way as the fair lady at the plate-glass window had in hers, and there was an unmis takable look of wounded dignity on his begrimed face as he turned it for an instant in the direction of the speaker. 1 j'ITll not soil their stoop "with my rags again," he thought, as the clear, cutting tones ceased and the window slid softly down to the sill. j But haying reached the next pave ment beyond, he paused and again turned his eyes to the lady's face. She was extremely beautiful, re minding him of one of the bright points he had been wont to admire at a down-town bookseller's, and for moments he feasted his eyes on the charming picture before him. j"A cat may look at a king," was his inward comment and, leaning against a neighboring lamp post, he watched until she descended the broad stoop, entered the carriage a ad was driven away. Then, with a sigh and shiver, for it was a cold, windy morn ing, he slowly shuffled away. j It was some years ago, before boys' lodging-houses or other hospitable retreats were thought of, and like many another bootblack and newsboy . B 11. . , , . 01 me penoa, wnen witnout means, he was compelled to find food and shelter as best he could. On this morning he had arisen with aching bones from the interior of an empty hogshead, where he had man aged to pass the night, and after taking a lone look at the rolls and coffee he could not buy, had wandered, ne scarcely Knew how or why, into the present aristocratic locality. Hungry, tired and cold, he scarcely had the spirit to lookabout for another job; but midway down the block he espied two gentlemen in conversation, and with an effort he quickened his steps toward them. "Have a shine, sir ? ' he asked. glancing up at the elder of the two, a .stojut old gentleman, faultlessly dressed and carrying a gold-headed cane. T.. i. .1 a 1 . ' . xut a cooi. "ciear out: accom panied with a wave of the gold-crus- tea stick was the only reply. "I hose young rascals ought to be suppressed by the police as a nuis ance,77 he heard him remark to his companion as he turned awaj At another time he would have re turned the old gentleman's opinion with a sarcasm as cutting as his own, but now he was quite too discouraged and miserable to reply, and, , sitting down this time on the curbstone, gave himself up to his own dismal thoughts. "Mierht haye know'd better ter come oyer among the swells, any way," was his inward comment, but it went no further, for he was now accosted, by a big countryman, who, in his homespun rig, looked fully as out of place on the avenue as the young bootblack himself. "That's a boot blackin' arrange ment, ain't it ?" said the man, nodding ar ine oox ana orusn. The boy nodded in return. "Well, then, bub, you up and gloss mv snoes win you 7" This bub was only too glad to do, a taint smile flitting over his face the while. In a few minutes the "cowhides," were, as the owner declaied, "all right," and, surveymer them com placently, he fumbled into the depths or nis great pocKets tor the change. "Your're what they call a perfesshu hal bootblack, hain't you T" "Zactly." "Then, by Jiminy ! yer a poor speci men uv tne cratt; loot as though you hadn't tasted cow flesh in a month." "Yer right there, boss: no more I have." "Thought so," was the reiomder. "and here's 15 cents fur ter buy your ureaKiasx. , "You are a bully cove," was the boy's reply, as he pocketed the uiuuey , wiieu you come mis way "' T,ll -V? A ...... agin i n snme you up ior nothinv7 r lfteen cents at such a time was as good as a fortune, and away sped the boy to purchase a breakfast. There is nothing which reflects so directly on the entire system as a good breakfast, particularly when there is a strong"Northeaster sending its icy breath to the very! marrow of one's bones. And so the knight of the blacking brush found it on that chill November morning, all his former spirits re turning as the last morsel went ravenously down his throat. With a bound he was off down the street, and soon, as luck would have it. turning the pennies as fast could reasonably desire Ki . It was near o o'ciock that same evening, and our young friend, stand ing beneath the light of a street lamp, was turning over in his mind . whether he naa Dest spena a portion oi nis earnings theatre ticket: or save it tor the morrow, when some one ngnuy touched him on the shoulder. Turning suddenly he beheld the ebony visaere of a colored waiter, with whom he, had a slight acquaint ance. ?V-?J v , "How are you sambo?" he asked, patronismgly. "Oh, berry well, tank'e, but I!zeim a powerful hurry and I cum over dis way to hunt some pusson to do me a favor." "All right, shady. Then I'm the one yer arter. Mow much yer going ter truvl" i "Just one 'shilling, an it's only to tote a note to a young colored lady dat libs wis some white folks a piece uptown. She's actin' in the 'pacity of chambermaid, and her name am Sophronia Johnson." , ' "Well, 'give us the change and the tptfpr. an' I'm off." - ' i-i 4 Whew !" exclaimed the boy, as be started off with the letter in his pocket and the directions in his head. "The very house they druv me from this mornin'. Wonder if the nigger'ill order me off the stoop." As the young "colored gemman" had said, it was "only a piece up town," the house being on Madison avenue, just above Hoffman street. But as the boy neared the corner of the street a piercing cry of "Fire! Fire !" reached his ear. Hurrying on to see from whence it came, to his amazement it proved to be the very house to which he was bent on his errand as letter carrier. '; , The fi re alarm had . been sounded, and a crowd was rapidly gathering oetore the door; and among them the bootblack was soon standing. In some way the fire had gained a headway before its existence had been discovered, and the flames were darting upward through the wide halls and into the second story. The staircase was wrapped in a wreathing cloud ot smoke, and little names of crimson light appeared in its midst, and on the- pavement just beyond stood a grayhaired man, with clasp hands and a face stricken with terror. Our young friend recognized him at once. It was the same old gentleman who had told him so gruffly to "be off" that morning,.and in an instant he took it all in that he was the father of the beautiful young lady he had seen at the window, and that some one was perishing in the flames. "My child, my pet !" he was saying, piteously, to himself; then, turning excitedly to the gathering crowd, he exclaimed in tones that sounded aboye the din of the -approaching engines, and the hum of the murmuring throng about him. "A hundred dollars to the one who ssvill save my errandchild! Who will save my grandchild " "I will !" responded a shrill voice at his side ; no other than that of the poor bootblack of the morning. i ou are only a child," he began. But the boy, pointing to the twirl ing names above him, interrupted hastily: "1 ell me where the child is. and for God's sake be quick !" "in the second story back, m a little crib." C2w, C i H -L 2. i "uujc vu leuers uoosl me onto that lodge above the parlor winder ! said the boy to the gaping bystanders "and I'll have it down in a twink ling." Quickly they did his bidding, and in less time than it takes to relate it, he had clambered to the front chamber window, and, effecting an entranp.P disappeared amid the choking smoke mat was last nniner the room He soon found the crib, and taking me nine sieeper in his arms, wrapped it up head and foot in a blanket he tore from the rosewood bedstead at its side. Then pulling off one of the sheets he endeavored to tear it into shreds, bu in vain ; it was made ot the stronees and finest linen. His knife, however was in his pocket, and hastily whip ping it out, ne cut it into a number o strips. Then tying them together by way of a rope, ne iastened it aoout the mid die ot the child. "Here it is!" he shouted, and ' a once proceeded to lower the child into its grandtather's outstretched arms. a great cheer founded up from the multitude below, and the firemen seeing the precarious condition of the ooy, ran tor a ladder. But every in fant me danger, increased, . and he could now teelthe seething fire almost eatchmghim in its merciless embrace. -1 must jump !" he shouted, and a uunurea nanus reached nnf tr ontoh mm as he gave the lean. rmt witu all the eagerness of those yeue&m mm, tney missed their reckon ing, and he fell hpRtnl-vtrk iha lender hands raised him, but there was no recognition m the still white race. A deep gash across the forpTiP pointed to the most serious wnnni ictciveu, ana, without once opening his eyes or giving the least sign ot consciousness, he was borne to anospiiai. It was many davs before h ered his senses weeks before he could walk. But when this stage had been reached he was the recipient of good tidings. The hundred dollars, which seemed a fortune in his inexperienced eyes, was certainly his; but better than this was the news that the parents of the child he had saved intended to taxe nis luture in their pharos Since he has become a man of high position and unquestionable integrity: anu, wnenever, he is asked how he came by the scar on his forehead, his answer luvanaoiy is: "I received it when I was a boot black, and I call it my 'revenge.'

GOIjDSBORO. n. c ourrecenarti Discharge ' of his Magisterial Duties! signed to induce Northern capitalists and settlers with means to invest and locate in North Carolina, has brought in quite a number of !etters of inquiry from parties who contemplate seeking homes in the South, asking for description of places for sale. We have also had numerous offers, from land owners who wish to dispose of portions, or all, of their surplus lands, but with no definite description of lands or prices. ; This has induced us to establish the Messenger-:-Real-:-Estate-:-Agencj in connection with this office, and our Mb. J. BTowakd Bkown will give to this department his personal supervision. In order to reach the desired class we have arranged to run an advertisement in some lOOO newspapers in the Northern and Western States, offering to mail spec imen copies of the Messenger and to fur nish such information as may be desired, to all who will apply, and in this way we hope to reach the most desirable class of people and to brine: the advantages of North Carolina before the very people who seek homes in the South. The Mes senger will also be placed on file in a large number of Hotels, public Reading Rooms and Real Estate Exchanges in other States, and thus the advertisements of all wishing to sell lands will receive the greatest publicity. Our advertising rates are $5.00 for a two inch advertisement, to be inserted in our weekly edition every alternate week, for three months. In addition to this we will enter the lands so offered upon our printed circulars containing list of lands for sale by the Agency, and endeavor to secure a purchaser by giving these circulars a large distribution. We invite correspondence with land owners in all parts of tne State, as our Agency is for the whole State, and we shall give no preference to any section. The mountains present attractions for some, the middle section for others, and the seaboard, for still others. We are now in correspondence with parties looking for large tracts for coloni zation, and with manufacturers seeking factory privileges and inducements for in vesting capital on joint account with es tablished or projected enterprises. We also expect to organize excursions from the North and West of farmers and others wishing to visit North Carolina. and shall afford them unusual facilities for inspecting every part of our State and direct them especially to the lands listed and advertised by this Agency.
