THE GOLDSBORO MESSENGER, MONDAY, JULY 5. 1886. ' THE BRIDGE. ... LONGrilXOW. I stood oh the brldgre atmMnigtt, As the clocks were striking the hour. And the moon rose over the city Behind the dark church tower. ; Amonj? the long black rafters, Th waverinsr shadows lay : And the current that came from the ocean Seemed to lift and bear them awtty. As sweeping, eddyin? through them, Kose the belated tide. And streaming- into the moonlight The seaweed floated wide. And, like those waters rushing j Among the wooden piers, A flood of thoughts came o er me j That filled my eyes with tears. How often ! oh, how often. In the days that had gone by. I had stood on that bridge at midnight. And gazed on that wave and sky How often ! oh, how often, I had wished that the ebbing tide Would bear me away on its bosom O'er the ocean wild and wide. For my heart was hot and restless,; ' And ray life was full of care ; ' And the burden laid upon me deemed greater than I could bear. But now it has fallen from me, It lies buried in the sea : And only the sorrow of otheis Throws a shadow over me. And I think how many thousands Of care-encumbered men. Each bearing his burden of sorrows. Have crossed the bridge since then. Forever and forever. As long as the river flows. As long as the heart has passions, ; As long as life has woes. The moon ad its broken reflection, And its shadows shall appear. As the symbol of love in Heaven, And its wavering image here. THE LAW OF FINDING. The law in regard to the title of a finder of lost property to it is one very 'generally misunderstood. The fact of ,a man losing property does;not de prive him of ownership thereto, and consequently the finder does not be come the owner. The owner of lost property can claim it and obtain pos session of it whenever and wherever he finds it, without regard to lapse of time. When property is thus found it be comes the duty of the finder to make every effort to ascertain to whom the property belongs, and to restore it to its rightful owner. If this is done and no claimant appears, then the finder is entitled to its possession. If upon the property thus foundthere is a name or an address, or anything that Would indicate who the owner was and the finder thereafter should fail to restore the property to him, and should appropriate it to his own use, he is guilty of a crime and is liable'fto ar rest and punishment. "Where the value of the lost property is $25 and over the crime is grand larceny. liCU U U J.Cl 13 JlUUU auu IUC1CU nothing what ever to indicate to whom it belongs, the best thing to do is to advertise for the owner, giving a faith ful description of the property. If there is no claimant, then the finder is entitled to possession, subject always, however, to time thereafter. The pro duction or the advertisement would J I (j v c i ii nidi cinsc iuai i Lie iiuuci uau made tin honest effort to find the ow fner. So strictly have the courts applied the law in regard to finding lost prop erty that the following case will prove of interest: A person purchased at auction a bu reau, in a secret drawer of which he af terward discovered a purse containing money, which he appropriated to his own use. It appeared that at the time of the sale no person knew that the bureau contained anything whatever. The court held that although' there was a delivery of the bureau and; a lawful property in it thereby vested in the purchaser, yet there was no delivery so as to give him lawful possession of the purse and money, for the vender had no intention to deliver it nor the vendee to receiv. ; both were ignorant of its existence, and when the pur chaser discovered that there was a secret drawer containing the purse and money it was a simple case of finding, and then the law applicable to all cases of finding would apply to this. Ihis was held to be larceny. THE 1$ RIGHT SIDE. There was never a night so dark that some would not speak of the dawn, ana never a day so orient that some would not think of the midnight. It' well that the enthusiast be balanced by the conservative, perhaps, on the principle that a little shade improves the tone of almost any picture. It is It is however, a thankless mission that the grumbler enters upon, and his is a work that shadows his own mind and heart more than that of any oth er. Most of us see enough of the woe and weariness, adversity and animos- ltv, disappointment and disaster in life, without being formally reminded tuereoi. me newspaper nnas more readers when it announces a ship's wrecK than when it chronicles alaunch Its of column obituariesjis more sought tor than its wedding announcements. A firm's failure is read by a hundred persons to one who will read of an "opening," and a man who steals $1, 000 receives more newspaper notoriety than a thousand men who should de posit $100,000 each. It is the natural elasticity of the mind and heart that keeps the average man hopeful while the sad and evil things of life are run ning before his eyes are being poured into his ears. There should be a sys tematic effort on the part of all people to see the bright side,tspeak of the hopeful things. When a majority of the business men talk the dark side of finance thdre is a panic; when a ma jority of laboring men see the dark side of life there is a nihilistic ' ten dency. There is too much danger in every direction for any encourage ment of the already too active tendency to see the evil m business and society. Let us see the bright side and call oth er DeooleTs attention to it. Hay Fever. I have been a great suf ferer from Hay Fever for 15 years and have tried various things ! without doing any good. I read of the many wondrous cures of Ely's Cream Balm and thought I would try once more. In j 15 minutes after one application I was wonderfully helped Two weeks ago I commenced using it and now I feel entirely cured It is tie greatest discovery ever known or heard of. Duhamel, Clark, Farmer, Lee, Mass. A single locomotive on the Louis ville, New Orleans and TexasiRaUway recently pulled into New Orleans a train containing 141 cars, r The 'total weight of the train was over 7,250,000 pounds, and it was nearly a mile long. The distance traversed was 121 miles. and the time consumed twelve 'hours And forty six minutes. ! FARMERS. Ronthprn industries takes the crround that if farmers do not occupy ; the highest positions in the social ana po litical circles of the country it is due entirely to themselves. There is no more ennobling occupation or one which requires more scientific and rra.tift.l knowledge, than agriculture. and those who qualify themselves, or . "I l V are instructed in tne science, uave within themselves the elements neces sary to making the society in which they mingle more brilliant and desir able than persons following any other pursuit in life.- With such assurances as these, therefore, let the noble yeo manry come forth from their too long continued retirement and let the world know that there is a power behind the throne which has remained dormant while it should have been shining. One of the most notable characters among agriculturists, and whose name is the household word and authority for farmers wherever civilization has asserted itself, is Sir John Bennett Lawes, of England. His contributions to agricultural literatuie have been engraved upon the tablets of history so deeply that they will remain to im mortalize his name during all time. Yet his proudest boast is to be a farm er. To reach the high standard of at tainments upon which stands this worthy scion of the most valuable of all industries, much time, diligent study and unceasing labor in the ex perimental field must be devoted, and with such, and a determination to ex cel, it is not a wild prediction, to make that any young man, with sufficient intellect, industry and perseverance, mav take a place alongside this great agricultural scholar. Formerly, educational advantages wprfi so limited in the United States that. th rural districts were leftout en tirely, and then the toilers of the soil had to rely altogether upon tradition to cultivate their crops, breed their cattle, etc. Now, however, when first rate schools are dotted over neighbor hoods, agricultural literature extend ed and iournals devoted to that class of knowledge disseminated in every part or the land, no excuse can oe maae for an uneducated, isrnorant farmer. nor his withholding from society, both in civil and political life. The farm naturally induces a fondness for retire mftnt. but nrocress demands a chanere in these habits, and requires the in- A ..... I ' 1 termingiing onarmers, to miercnauge ideas, relate practical experiences, see the constantly increasing novelties in machinery, in order to keep up with the times. Besides these considera tions, the farmers should remember that they outnumber the balance of the country's population and their ag gregated wealth is far greater than all the other interests in the land. MEN. The great demand of this age is men. Men of energy, pluck, integrity sob riety. It is not railroads or hotels that make a country; it is men, "high minded men." Men who can stand on the sources God gave them who will rather eat bread and water, bravely earned, than live on the fat of the land furnished by friends and relatives. Men who can determine on a plan and pursue it, and not change every mo ment. Like old Daw Crocket. "Make sure you are right and then go ahead." Deliberation, fore thought, then decis ion then action, constitutes the prin ciples ot success. Southern lads claim that their want of activity is due to the climate. Well, we Want men who can overcome the climate who, like Napoleon, in their actions, can say: "There should be no Alps." "Fight your own battles, ask no favors;" keep your mind steady, your foot steady, your heart right and you are well balanced. We are drift ing drifting, without even pulling an oar, and bewailing our fate while the current is moving on, on. Check up. Pull in the reins. 'Tis true we need men of intellect to sit on our juries, and the bench. We need men with a good solid English education and pluck. "An ounce of pluck is worth a pound of luck." little smat tering of an education is only mudd7 ing the senses. But over and above these things our Southern country needs men who are not afraid to take the plow handle men who are not ashamed of the saw and axe men who canal ways be doing somethiog for their countriy's good. These are the men who make and preserve our country. MAKING HOME COMFORTA BLE. Men grow sated of beauty, tired of music, and often, too, wearied for con versationhowever intellectual but they can always appreciate a well swept hearth and smiling comfort. A woman may love her husband devoted ly may sacrifice fortune, friends, family, country, for him. She may have the genius of a Sappho, the en chanted beauties of an Armida; but, melancholy tact, if with these she fail to make his home comfortable, his heart will inevitablv and women live so entirely in the af- . . . . . . iections, that without love their exis tince is a a void. Better submit, then, to household tasks, however innt-- nant they may be to your tastes, than aoom yourseit to a loveless home. Women of a hierher order f mi mi -will not run the risk; they know that their reminme and -domestic are their first duties. Excitement in Texas.
