THE ROANOKE NEWS, THURSDAY, JULY 6, 1893. MAU.SH CHAN." Written for the Greensboro Record after hearing Thomas Nelson Page read his inimitable story. A sad, sweet talo of other days we heard, To which there clings the charm of vanished years. By those quaint accents all our hearts were stirred And many an eye half sadly filled with tears. Not since Burns touched his rugged peasant lyre Till its deep musie thrilled the sold of man lias a rude language told the heart's desire In more pathetic words than thine "Marso Chau." To us of younger years that sad romance Heads like some legend of the days of old, As when King Arthur and his knights drew lance Ere yet the flame of chivalry grew cold. To older hearts it brings a joy half pain, A gleam of sorrow's shadow darkly crossed As if the ghosts of youth came back again To vex us with the things that we have lost. By Uncle Remus told, our South Land lore lias charmed the listening ear of old and young With those quaint legendary talcs that bore The music of the old plantation tongue. But since those famous days "before the war" No voice save thine has told or ever can Tell the full charm of "days that are no more" As in those wondrous tales of thine, "Marse Chan." All Free.

DON'T LAUGH. Instead of laughing at the mistakes or blunders of others, we should do all in our power to conceal amusement e may feci, for to the one making th8 error it is deeply embarrassing to find that those who witnessed it are making merry at bis expense, says the Jenness Miller Monthly. Good manners and a ;ood heart go hand in hand; tact after 11 is but a show of kindly feeling and under all circumstances we should re member that we are not infallible and tuito as likely to make mistakes ns those whom we may be pleased to ridicule. Cannot every person, no matter how worldly-wise they may be at the pres ent time, remember when they have made some faux pas which even to think of now causes them to break out in a cold perspiration? It may have been an error in table etiquette or in the pronun ciation of a word, it docs not matter how trival the mistake, yet after all the years since it oeccurred the smile which went around the circle stings even in memory, No one is perfect, not even those who set themselves up as oracles in all mat ters pertaining to social life and its exactions. The day will come when flaws will be discovered even in the leader, and then those who have been laughed at will have a chance to laugh. if that will be anv satisfaction.

Of course, the f amonities ol file must not bo regarded n as serious as the lack ' of consideration. ; ! Good form meats essentially the be havior of a gentleman or lady, and the highest type of it is found in the kindly heart that seeks not to wound, the gra cious, considerate manner, and a cour tesy to old and young, rich and poor, regardless of their social status or im portance.
