THE GOLDSBORO MESSENGER, THURSDAY, "ATI GUST 19, 1886. . .1 THE BABY'S DRAWER. ' MRS- I. T, BUTTS. 1 There's a little drawer Jn my chamber Guarded with tendereet care, "Where the dainty clothes are lying. That my darling shall never wear. And there, while the hours are waning. Till the house Is all at rest, I sit and fancy a baby Close to my aching breast. My darling's pretty, white garments I I wrought them, sitting apart, "While his mystic life was throbbing Under my throbbing heart. And often my happy dreaming Breaks in a little song. Like the murmur of birds at brooding. When the days are warm and long. I finished the dainty wardrobe. And the drawer was almost full. With robes of finest muslin, And robes of the finest wool, I folded them all together. With a rose for every pair. Smiling, and saying, Gem garment. Fit for my prince to wear. Ah, the radiant, summer morning, 80 full of mother's Joy 1 Thank God, he is fair and perfect. My beautiful, new-born boy. Tt him wear the pretty white garments I wrought while sitting apart; Lay him, so sweet and so helpless. Here, close to my throbbing heart. Many an many an evening I sit since my baov came. Saying What do the angels call him : (For he died without a name ;) Sit while the hours are waning, And the house is all at rest. And fancy a baby nestling Close to my aching breast. JOHN POUOHMAX'S TALK, non'f Cut Off Your Nose to ja -f mm v j - Spite Your Face. Anger is a short madness. The less fin when we ero mad the better for everybody, and the less we go mad the better for ourselves. iie is iar gone , who hurts himself to wreak his ven ireance on others. The old saying is, "Don't cut off vour head because it aches," and another says, "Set not vour house on fire to spite the moon." If things go awry, it is a poor way of mending to make them worse, as me man did who took to drinking because he could not marry the girl he liked. He must be a fool who cuts off his nose to spite his face, and yet this is what Dick did when he had vexed his old master, and because he was chid must needs give up his place, throw him self out of work, and starve his wife and family. Jane had been idle, and she knew it, but sooner than let her mistress speak to her, she gave warn ing, and lost as good a service as a maid could wish for. Old Griggs was wrong and could not deny it, and yet because the parson's sermon fitted him rather close, he took the sulks, and vowed he would never hear the good man again. It was his own loss, but he wouldn't listen to reason, but was as willful as a pig. Do nothing when you are out of temper, and then you will have the less to undo. Let a hasty man's passion be a warning to you; if he scalds you; take heed that you do not let your own Eot boil over. Many a man has given imself a box on the ear in his blind rage, ay, and ended his own life out of spite. He who cannot curb his tem per carries gunpowder in his bosom, and he is neither safe for himself nor his neighbors. When passion comes in at the door, what little sense there is in-doors flies out at the window. By and by a hasty man cools and ' comes to himself, like MacGibbon's gruel when te put it of the window, but if his nose is off in the meantime, who is to put it on again? He will only be sorry once, and that will be all the rest of his life. Anger does a man more hurt than that which made him angry. It opens his mouth Jand shuts his eyes, and fires his heart, and drowns his sense, and makes his wisdom folly. Old Tompkins told me that he was sorry that he ' lost his temper, and I could not help thinking that the pity wasthathe ever found it again, for it was like an old shoe with the sole gone and the upper leathers worn out, only fit for a dung hill. A hot tempered man wouid be all the better for a new heart, and a right spirit. Anger is a fire which cooks no victuals and comforts-no household: it cuts and curses and kills, and no one knows what it may lead to; therefore, good reader, don't let it lodge in your bosom, and if it evercomes there, pass the vagrant on to the next parish. Gently, gently, little pot. Why bo hasty to be hot? Over you will surely boil. And I know not what you'll spoil. ONLY A BABY. One sultry day last summer at a time when children of the poorer class in Philadelphia were dying by the scores every week, a bloated old man staggered up the steps of a physician's dwelling. 1 he boys shouted alter him "Old Bourbon," the name by which he bad been known in- the locality in which he lived tor many years. ' The baby's worse," he said, stand ing hat in hand when he met the doc tor coming out. "You've been here every day for a 'week, 7 explained the doctor. "1 can not go again to-day. 1 told the child's mother there was no chance this morn ing. It was dying then." "Won't you come now?" ,'No; I have not a minute to spare. There are patients waiting whom I can help.77 "Old Bourbon" followed him to his carriage door, twisting his rag of a hat in his shaking hands. "She's sbe's all I've got doctor." But the doctor, with a pitying nod. drove away, and the old man, nearly sobered by his keen distress, crept hometo the attic where his little grand cniia lay dying, wnatever nursing or kindness little Alary had known, had come from "Old Bourbon." Her mother had six other children, and went out washing every day.' The poor old drunkard and the innocent baby were left to form a strange friendship for each other. She called for him now feebly, as she lay on her mother's lap. "Daddy! daddy! Come to me!" He kneeled down and put his finger into tne uny wiinerea nana, xne tears ran down his bloated cheeks. "God, leave her to me! God, leave her to me!" he muttered. "Daddy come to Mary!" he cried . once more, and then the little soul, whose taste of life had been so bitter, passed off into the unseen. It was only a baby. Its mother, who had six other half -starved child , ren to feed, shed but a few tears over it. The doctor's sent a certificate of its death with a dozen others. In the weekly bill of mortality there was an item. Of cholera infantum, seventy Little Mary was one of the seventy. That was all. I Her record was ended. The world was done with her. But an old trembling man crept next , Sunday into the back pew of the little mission church, not far from the attic in which he lived. He stopped the clercrvman when service was over. t, "Why this is you Bour- I beg vour snardon. what is your rea name?" " i " v"i "' ' "John Black, sir. I want to take my name again. I'm thinkiir of signm the pledgeV pullin' up for the rest of the time left," stammered the poor wretch The clergyman was wise and helpful John did "pull up." Me lived but few months after that, but he did wha he could to live a decent, honest Christian life in that time. "The Lord is merciful, John," his friend said to him as he was dying. "I know lit. sir. V I'm not much ac auainted with Him. But I've been Irvine to follow little Marv. I hear her cryin', fDaddy. come to me.' I'm comin' AhI reckon He'll not turn me back." Even the baby had work to do, and had done it; A GOOD WOMAN. A crood woman never grows old Years pass over her head, but if bene volence and virtue dwell in her Ileart she is as cheerful as when the spring of life first opened to her view. When we look upon a good woman, we nev er think of her age. She looks as charming as when the rose of youth first bloomed on her cheek. In her church the devout worshiper and ex emplary Christian. Who does not love and respect the woman who has pass ed her lire m acts or Kindness and mercy who has been the friend of man and God whose whole life has been a scene of kindness, love, and de votion to truth? Such a woman can not grow old. She will always be fresh and buoyant in spirits and active in humble deeds of mercy and benevo lence. If the young lady desires to retain the bloom and beauty of youth let her not yield to the sway of fash ion and folly; let her love truth and virtue, and to the close of life she wil retain those feelings which now make her life appear .a garden sweet ever fresh and ever new. A HAPPY HOME. A happy home is the brightest spot on earth the eye of God looks down on. Love and peace in his home sends sun shine around a man wherever he goes; disorder and irouoie there is misery everywhere. There are few worries of life whieh a man cannot now and then shake off, but who can shake himself free from the skeleton in the closet, from the worry in the house hold, the blister on the heart? A day will tell how many a man carried that wjth him without wincing down to the grave. When husband and wife are helpmeets to each other in the best sense, when order and love and good ness prevail m the house, then the man who has a hard battle in life to fight can leaye his struggles behind him when he enters there. With all our faults, we are the most home-lov mg or people, and mat is the reason why we are the greatest of people. Whatever helps home life is a national blessing; whatever hurts home life is a national curse, and the great est curse that can touch these blessed ness of our homes.- - James Mac Cregor, JJ. JJ.
