Only Going to Ihe Gate- Like a bell of blossom ringing. Clear aud childish, sin ill and sweet, Floating to the porch's shadow, With a fainter fall of feet, Comes the answer softly backward, Bidding tender wa cker wait, While the baby-queen outru.is her, ''Ouly going to the gate." Through the moonlight, warm and scented, Love to beauty breathes a sigh, Always to depart reluctant, Loth to speak the words go„d-by; Then the samo low echo answers, Waiting love pf older date. And thomniden whispers sofily, "Ouly going to the gate." Oh, the-e gates along our pi thway, What t ley bar outside and ill! With the v.tgne outlook beyond them, Over waves we have not heen How they stand before, behind us! Toll gules some, with price to pay; Spring gates some, that shut forever; Cloud-gates some, that melt a way. So we pass them going upward On our journey one by one, " To the distitQt shining wicket 1 WiMjre each trnveler goes alone— Where friends who journey with us Strangely falter, stop and wait: Father, mother, ehilct or lover; '"Onlj going to the gate." HOME-MADE BREAD. 'She's an old darling,' said Grace Craxall. 'And I mean to help licr nil i can. I've g»t a beautiful receipe for chocolate ecloires, aud on Triday even ing I am going there, to make up all I can, so that the school-children will buy them on Saturday, I know how to make cinnamon applecarts, too, aud Ismornr drops and cncoaiuii balls.' 'Giacc, I du. believe you have taken leave ofj our sense--,' said Medora |May„ 'One would think it was disgrace enough for Aunt Deborah—our own mother's sister—to open a horrid little huckster's simp without our mixing ourselves up in the afluir.' ' lint Aunt Debby must live, you know,' aaid Gra«e, who was perched, kitten fashion, on the window-silJ>, feeding the Canary With bits of sparkling white su gar. 'Ami Gousin Nixon couldn't keep Jier any longer— aud |ier eyes aren't strong enough for fine needlework, and her education has not fitted her to be a teacher, and her poor old rheumatic bones keep her from going behind a* counter or entering a tactory. I suppose you wouldn't be willing to have her come here and live with you?' 'II' cried Medora 'Do you suppose I want to proclaim to the whole town that I have such'a dilapidated old relation as that?' 'I would take her quiet enough,' said Grace, 'if I didn't board with Mrs. Howitt, and share the little upstairs back bedroom with tho (wo children. Just wail until 1 marry some r!ch man/ sho added, with eaucy uplifting nt her pretty auburn brows, 'and then see if I don't furnish up a state department for Aunt Dcbby!' 'Don't talk nonsense,' said Medoro, acidly. 'lt's very likely, isn't it, that a tactory girl like you are going to marry a rich man?' , . Grace Craxall laughed merrily." All through lite she and her cousin, Medora May, had agreed to differ on most points. Grace, seeing no other career befprv her, had, on the death of her last surviving parent, cheerfully outered a factory, while Medora, taking her stand on (he platform of a false gentility, had done flnc sowing and silk embroidery on Ibe s'y to support herself, put ting on all the nirs of a young lady of fashion tho while. I And now Aunt Deborah May, to the in finite disgust of her aristocratically in clined niece, had actually opened a lit tle low-windowed shop iu a shady street ( jurtoutof the .main thoroughfare, and, as Medora despairingly expressed it, ( 'gone into trade 1' F»r Aunt Dobby, in her bewildered loneliness, had scarcely known wbat to do until Grace Ciaxall came to the ress cue. with her hopefuT courage and straightforward common sense. ■ * 'I ouly wish it wasu't sinful to take a | good bin dose of laudanum and put my self out of (he way,' sighed the poor old lady. • 'Now, Aunt Debby, that doesn't soand a bit like j:ou,' said Grace, cheerfully. 'Bat what am I to do?' enld Aunt De borah. 'What Can you do?' said Grace. # 'I don't know as lam good lor any- 0 thing,'said the old woman, with a quiet , tear or two, 'except to help around the |, house,—and 1 ain't string enough for j regular hired help. Your uncle always , used to say I was a master hand at mak> u ing bread.' 'Then make it,' brightly interrupted d Grace. n 'J2h?« said Aunt Dobby. t 'TRere'a a nice little afoie to let on e Bnv street,' wont on Grace, 'tor ten do!- e: lius ftWtUh.' ' But I hayen't got ten ddJlara a month,' t) GRAHAM, N. C., MONDAY, JANUARY 9, 1882. feebly interrupted Aunl Debby. •I'll lenu it to you,' said Grace, 'out of Ihe wages I have saved. And there's a pretty bedroom and sittingroom at the back oi the shop, and a clean, dry base ment under it, whore you could bake your bread, !"know, for the eieter of the lady where I board in looking lor dress making rooms, and I heard her speaking about it.' •Do you mea-ii to open a bakery?' s*id bewildered Aunt Debby. •Net exactly that,' explained Grace. 'But if Mrs. Howitt, or Mrs. Tajlcr, or any other oi the ladies around here eould get real, home-made bread such as you make, do you suppose they would put up with the sour stuff they get at tho bakers' shops? And you could easily get up a reputation oil your rt&in cakes, and tried crullers, and New England pumpkin-pies. Now, couldn't you?' The old lady brightened up a little. 'I used to be pretty good at cooking,' said she 'And if you think I could sup* I port my so It so ' 'I am sure of it!' cried the cheerful Graflfe. 'And I'll go there with you this verv day to look at ihe place, and will engage it tor three months on trial. And I can paint yon a sign to put over* the door, 'liomcMiiadg Bread by Mrs, Deborah May !' And I'll hem you some curtains and arrange the shelves in the low window! I almost wish I was going to bo your shop- gii 1,- she added, merrily. 'Bat I cau help you in the avejiing, you know!' to **• Grace •'£. -puecies proved cor rect. Aunt Debby'a delicious home' made bread, whiter (ban powdeied lilies, sweet ad ambrosia, soon acquired rf rep utation, and the old ladv could scarcely bake i' last enough. People came naif a dozen blocks to buy tho yellow puinpkint pies and delicious apple-tarts; children brought their hoarded pennies to invo«t in chocolate sweetmeats, vanilla cara mels, and cream-cakes with puffy shot's and delicious centers of sweetness. The little money-drawer grew fat with coins—and Aunt Debbys dim eyes grew bright and hopeful again. And one day Mr. Herbert Valance, walking by with Modora May, stopped and looked ill. •Isn't that your cousin Grace,' said he, 'behind that counter?' Medora turned crimson with vexation. 'My consin Grace?' she cried. 'No, indeed 1 We are not —in trade?' What proßsesscd her to utter this de liberate falsehood, Medora could uot aftWward have told, Tartly the sting of false shame, partly a disinclauatioil for Mr. Herbert Valance to know that her relations were uot, to use her own ex pression, 'ladies and gentlemen.' Mr. Yalace looked up at the sign over the door. 'The namo is May,' ho said, indifferent* iy. 'Yes,' said Medora, angry at hersel' tor blfishing so deeply,'but wo are not relations,' Mr. Valance (bought over (be matter; afterwards be bad met Miss May at an evening parly giren by a friend, where pretty Grace Ciaxall was also present, —lie bad taken rather a fancy to tbe bright blue eyes and delicate blonde beauiy ot tbe formor. Valance Hall on the bill just out of tbe city was solitary enough, now that his bisters had all married and gone away, *nd perhaps a mau might find a lets attractive and graceful wife (ban Medora May. But, —be could uot be mistaken, be tbongbt, in Grace Craxall's iudentity! And so, the next evening at about tbe samo time, he sauntered into the shop. Grace was behind the duinty clean little counter, taking some newly baked maple caramels off the pans. She looked up with a smile. 'Good evening, Mr. Valance.' said she. (•So,' he thought, 'I wasu't mistaken, after all. And tbe little blue-eyed seraph is mortal enough to tell a lie 111 spite of 1 her ougelic appearance!') ( But he looked serenely at Grace, 'I did not kuow that you were in trade,' ' •aid he. •Didn't yon? Well,' merely retorted j Grace, '1 am ray aant Deborah's ahops . ( girl just at piesentl I always ceme litre 11 in (be evenings (o help her. Because,' 1 ihe added 'with a sweet shade of seri- ] ous coming over her face, 'Aunt Debby , was old and poor—and she didn't quite t know how to maintain herself in in- i dependence. And unfortunately my 1 (rages at the factory aro not oueiigh for ] js both. So I advised her to open this it business. And she did. And she's f loiug very well. And she bakes' the d nost delicions bread and pies you ever p ite, so,' with a saucy twinfcM under her ti ire-laslies, «If you know of any custom* * rs, will you please recommend our firm?' j? To be sure I shall,' he answered ,in £ ho same spfrlt, 'And I am very glad, r Mi«s Craxall, to seo that >oii are not ashamed of being a working girl.' ' 'Of course i am not,' said Graoo. I 'Why should I be?' 'But your cousin Medora is.' Grace gave a little shrug of her slipul dera. 'Very likely,'said she. 'Medora and i differ in many things.' Mr. Vulance bought a pound at earns mels and went away, 'She it a beamy,' lie said to himself. 'And she is a sensible beauty into the bargain. One of those — rara arises in our country, a thcrougly weli-bilanceu girl.' ■» * 110 must have been vftrv well pleased with his purchase, for lie came again the i next evening just in tiuio to walk homo witk Grace Craxall. And they talked over Aunt Deborah 8 affairs, aud con cluded that as flour was low just then, it would be a favorable opportunity fur the old lady to lay in her winter's Stock through Air.

Ool> a lew weeks.had elapsed, when Medora May was electrified with amaae meut to learn that her cousin Grace was •engaged.' > • i 'To some matter baker, or journeyman confectioner, I suppoßo,' said she, con» temptnously. 'No,' said Grace, with eyes roguishly sparkling, 'to Mr. (leibert Valance.' 'l—dou't—believe-it,' said Medora, growing red, I lien pale. 'But it's really so,' said Grace, 'And wo are to murried in throe months. And Aunt Debby isio come to the Hull aud live with me. as soon as she cau dis* pose of her business to advantage.

Wh*n Webster went to Washington us a member of Congress, toward the lat ter part of the war of 1812, he adopted the then prevalent custom among con* grtssional lawyers of practicing before tilt Supreme Court of the United States. On tijis conspicuous arena he found Wil liam Pinkney, of Mnryland, to be tbe most prominent figure, Pinkney, with nil bis brilliant talents, did not impress Web Her favorably. He thought "there was something very small about Pinkney." He was very vain, and drested in the ex treme of fashion when be weut into the court to practice. "He would wear into court Ins white gloves, that had been put on t'resli that morning and that ha uever put ou again. He usually rode from his house to the japitol on horseback, and his overalls were taken off and given to his servant who atteud«d him," 'The nearest Lever came to a down right row,' .says Webster, 'was with William Pinkney. I wa: a lawyer who bad my living to get. On several occa* sions L'inkney's manner was very arro- gant and annoying. On tho occasion te ywliich i refer in some c Uoquial discus sion upon various minor points of the case, be treated mo with contempt. He pooh poohed, a« much to say it was not worth' while to argue a point that I did uot know any anything about; that I was no lawyer. I think he spoke of the 'gentleman from JSew Hampshire., Ai anv rale, it was a thing thul everybody in the court house, including the judges, could'not fail to observe. Chief Justice Marshall himself was pained by it.' 'it win very hard,' sdded Mr. Webster, 'for me to restrain my temper and keep cool; but 1 do so, knowiug in what presence I stood. I lliiuk ho constructed my ap parent hmni'ity into a want of what he would call spirit in resenting, and as a sort of acquiesence in his rule. Howev er, the accident passed; the case was not finished when the hour for adionrment came, and the court orijourned until' the next morning. Mr. Piukney took* his whip and gloves, threw his clook over his arm, and begin to saunter away. I went up to him and' »ail very calmly: 'Can I see you aloue in one of the lob bies?' Ho replied, 'Certainly.' I sup pose (bat he thought I was going to tieg his pardon and ask his assistance. We passed intft one of the anterooms of . thecapitol, I looked info one of (lie grand-jury rooms, rather woo to from ' the irtaln court-room, Tttere was no z one in, and we entered. As we did so I looked at tbe door, and found that there was a key in the look, and unob- - served by him, 1 turned the key and put ■ it in my pocKet, Mr. Piukney seemed to 1 be waiting ia some astonishment. I ad vanced towards him, and said: 'Mr. * Piukney, you grossly insulted me this morning in the court-room, and not for y the first time, either. In defersnco to v your position and. to the respect in 1 which 1 hoid the ccurt, I did not answer you as I was tempted to do on the apot.' He began to parley. I •ontinued: «You " kuow you did. Don't add another sin P to that, don't deny it; you know you lid it, and you know it was premedita- \ ed. It was deliberate; H was purpoxo- vi y done, and if you deny it you state an intrulh.' 'Now,' I wont on, «I am here o say to you, once for all, that you must tsk uiv pardon, and go into court io«mor- ' *1 ow morning and repeat the apology, or P she eittiec you or! will go oit of this ai oom in a ciifiercnt somiition from that or lii which we entered it-' 1 was never I more in earnest, ile looked at me anil saw that my eyes were pretty dark au>) firm. Ue began (o nay something. I interrupted him. 'No explanations,' said 1; 'admit the last, and lake it back. Ido not waut another word from you except that, I will hear no explana tion, nothing but that you adiuft it, and recall it.' He trembled like an aspcu leal, lie again altemiited to explain. Said I: 'There is no other course. 1 have tire key in my pockai, mid you must apologize or tako what I give YOU.' At that he bumbled down, and said to me: 'You are light; I am sorry; I did intend to blufl you; I regie! it, and ask your pardon•• 'Enough,'l promptly replied, 'Now, one promise before 1 open the door, aud ihat is, that you will to-mor row morning state to tlio court that you have said things which wounded' my feelings, and that you-regret it.' finki.fry replied, 'I will do so.* Thou I unlocked the door and passed out. The next morning, when the court met, Mr Piuk ney at ot.ee rose and slated to tlio court that a very unpleasant atlfyir had occurred the morning bo fore, as might have been observed by their honors; ilint his friend, Mr. Webs'*r, bad lelt grieved at some things which h >d dropped trom his lips; that his a-al for his client tniKhl have led l>im to*ay somethings whiph he should not have said, and that be was torry for having thus spoken. .From that day, while at the bar, thore was no man.' stud Mr. Webster, 'who treated me with so much respect and de ference as William Pinkney.'— Hrarey'% Rtminisccncat of Webster. f No man knows what a ministering angel his wife is until ha comes home one day, suffering with a dreadful Cold and she happens to hive a bottle of I?r. Bull'n Cough Syrup in the Rising Inijie World, You should bear constantly in mind that nine tenths ot us are, from the very nature and necessities of tho world, born to gain our livelihood by the sweat of our hrow, What reason have we thou to presume that our children are not to do the seme? If thoy bo, as now and then one will be, endowed with extraordinary powers of mind, thoje powers m«y have an opportunity for developing them selves; and if thoy never hav£;that op port unity, the harm is not very great to us or to them. Nor does it heuce follow (hat the descendants ot laborers are al ways to be laborers. Tho path upward is steep and long, to be suro. Industry, care, skill, excellence, in the present parent, lay the foundation of> rise un der more favorable circumstances for the children. Tho children of theso take another rise, aud l>y-and-by the des scendauts ot tbe present laborer becomes greatly advanced. This is the natural progress. It is attempting to reach the top ijt a single leap that so much misery is produced iu the world. The educa tior. whiib I speak of consists in brings lug children np to labor with steadies, wi'h care, aud with skill; to show them how to do as many usefu> things as pos sible; to teach them to do them all iu the best manner; to set them an example in iuddttry, sobriety, cleanliness, and neutuess; to make all these habitual to them, so that they uever khall bo ltab!o to tall into the contrary ; to let them uU ways see a good Jiving proceeding from labor, and thus remote ftom lieni the temptations, to get at tlio goods of other.) by violent or fraudulent means.— Wil liam Corbel t. ■, n ■ : t ' r ♦ Mr. George Drake, 48 Ctyk sJicot In dianapolis, liid., Buflered terribly with 'water* rheumatism, lie uieJ St. -Jacods Oil and waa entirely cured.— y.
