(Jackson, Northampton county) i-sksiuknt: V. K. DAS1KI-, F.very Person Over Fifty Should Avoid Severe Physical Strains. The heart is a long-suffering and ; patient organ, and fortunate it is ! that litis is so, fur even the gentlest ' or the laziest person puts burdens on it that any less obliging organ 1 would resent to the extent of quit- i ', ting work. J The digestive organs do this sometimes, and the result is much suffering For the lime being; but j when the quarrel is patched up, 1 ; and the offender ceases to abuse ! I these useful and necessary parts of i the body, life gels on as before. ; The heart cannot slop work for ! ! a minute, for if it should life would i end at once; and so human nature ; j presumes upon its knowledge of : this, and puts all sorts of difficult tasks upon the heart. i j There is a limit, however, that ! cannot be exceeded, especially : j by those who have passed the for- j tieth mile post, without risk, if not j j of instant death, at least of chronic invalidism. The heart is a muscular bag, di- j vided into four compartments, the function of which is to pump the blood to all parts of the body, which it does by the regular con traction of its walls. In health and under normal conditions, this pumping action goes on regularly and quietly, but when an impedi ment is offered to the How of blood in the arteries, such as occurs dur ing active exercise or under the stress of some strong mental emo tion, such as grief, anger or great joy, the muscular wall must con j tract more forcibly. If the opposing force continues beyond a certain time, the heart gets tired, and its cavities dilate a little, while its action grows more I rapid. The sign of this is short ! ness of breath. Young athletes, by a course of judicious "training" I gradually strengthen the heart muscle so that it is able to meet the strain and overcome it by more forceful contractions. In youth, also, the organ is elastic, and read ily returns to its normal size, even in the absence of "training," as soon as the strain is reduced. In later life, however, this elas ticity disappears, and a severe tax on the orean. such as bicycling up-hill, running, or even a strenu- j ous game of tennis, when one is "soft," may result in a dilatation I which is not reduced readily, or : which may evenTersist as a crip j pled heart, making its owner more ! or less of a permanent invalid, i Every person over fifty should avoid severe physical strains of all ; kinds. He should exercise regu larlywalking is the best kind of ! exercise for the heart, but he should avoid unusual feats of run ning, bicycling, or even horseback riding, such as the army officers arc now subjected to, if he would keep his heart in condition to last as long as the other organs up to j eighty or one hundred years, which j is the natural limit of a well spent i life.

M. COHEN, WELDON, N. C. SPEECH. Talk happiness; the world is sad enough Without your woe. No path is wholly rough Look for the places that are Smooth and clear, And speak of them to rest the weary ear Of earth, so hurt by one continuous strain Of moral discontent and grief and pain. Talk faith; the world is belter off without Your uttered ignorance and morbid doubt; If you have faith in God; or man, or self, Say so; if not, push back upon the shelf Of silence all your thoughts till faith shall come; No one will grieve because your lips are dumb. Talk health; the dreary, never-ending tale Of mortal maladies is worn and stale; You cannot charm, or interest, or please, By harping on the minor chord, disease, Say you are well or all is well with you, And God shall hear your words and make them true. THE LOG HUT BY THE SEA. You may talk of the brown stone mansions, The home of the rich and the free; But I find none where life is more pleasant Than the little log h'ut by the sea. It was there I first met with my Mary, And there she first learned to love me, There I told her my heart's sweetest story, As we walked on the banks of the sea. 'Twas a beautiful evening in summer, All nature seemed truly sublime, Our affections were plighted forever, In the calm sweet summer time. But alas ! how soon to be parted, For my parents soon moved far away, To build a new home on the mountain, Far away from the deep sea bay. Then over the way, over mountain, Where the birds sport lively and free, And the ivy swings over the window, There my true love is waiting for me. And I'm wailing, yes patiently waiting, Till I cai. go back and be free, Till I can return to my darling, To the little log hut by the sea. Next year I will be one and twenty, And eighteen my Mary will be, Then 1 will go back from the mountain. To the little log hut by the sea. Yes, over, then over the mountain, There safe from the sun and the rain, Where the soft winds play through the ivy, I will meet with my darling again. Then we'll build us a cottage, my darling, Where we shall be happy and free, And we'll live like the happy immortals, In our home on the banks of the sea. Lasi evening I sat in the twilight, My thoughts ever wandered to thee, The cottage all covered with ivy, To the little log hut by the sea. THE WALL WITHIN. TRUST THE LORD. Every Heart Needs Lining This (iolden A Dutch city in the olden days was besieged by the Spaniards. The attacking army used the bat tering ram to try to break through the wall. The peoprt inside saw thai the attempt would be successful unless the wall was strengthened. So the Dutch went lo work quietly and built up an inner wall. The Spanish succeeded in get- ' ting through the outer wall, only j to be confronted by a stronger wall . within. The Dutch were safe. Is not the lesson plain? The ; outer walls of society are good, but they are not enough. Walls with in the character are needed. Inner ' fortifications are necessary, if one ! would guard one's own purity. A j city building has inner doors and inner iron doors and shutters for j fire protection. I Appetites are changed, evil hab its are broken olf, new resolutions are kept, when the inner walls of life are erected. From within, out that is the order of all life, either in nature or in human kind. Not that which enters into a man defiles, but that which cometh out for the reason that it should not get past the inner wall. Rules in the home or school, curfew laws, reforms in city gov ernment, statuies for the protec tion of society, acts against greed and graft, all are good and bene ficial; but more important still are moral and religious teachings and counsels. St. Paul must have been think ing of the wall within when he wrote "Strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man." When ! Solomon buih the porch of his i house, "I le overlaid it within with pure gold." Every heart needs this golden lining. "My litttle children, of ! whom I travail in birth until Christ j be found in you." Me is the wall j within you. Rev. J. I I. 01ms I stead, in lixchange. INDUSTRY AND THRIFT. "Commit Thy Way to Mint and Me will llrinif It to Pass." Sometimes men are dissatisfied wilh their wurk and with the posi tion they occupy. They think they are not appreciated, and that they pre competent to lill what ihey regard as much more important positions. This may sometimes be true; but if such persons are faithful in the positions they occu py, their worth will be recognized, and they will be called to such po sitions as they are found compe tent to fill. But a man of real worth may be successful in op position, to which he is adapted, while he would he a total failure in another to which his talents are not soiled. Men are not always tht'best judges of their own abilities, or of the po sitions which they are best quali fied to lill. It is always better for the place to seek the man than for the man to seek the place. Mod esty is generally an evidence of worth, while presumption is almost invariably an evidence of shallow ness or unreliability. If a man has ; but a small field, let him cultivate I it v-ll; when it becomes loo small ! for him others will perceive it; and he will be called to more extensive labors.

AND THAT ENDED IT. said nty- king Two officers once appeared be fore one of the crowned heads of F.urope to ask permission to fight a duel, as one had grievously in sulted the oilier. "Certainly, my friends," the king. "I will be present self at the encounter." On the day appointed the appeared on the scene accompani ed by a sinister looking person, who proved to be the public exe cutioner. Pointing to the two com batants,.the king said: "You see those two men? Im mediately after iheir duel you will behead the survivor."

This country is not in need of any more polished heads and idle hands. Its most crying need to day is for skilled workers, for men and women who care more to be ' useful than they do to be orna mental; who can plow a furrow, I or shoe a horse, better than they i can talk philosophy or plead at the ; bar; who can make a loaf of bread ! and broil a steak belter than they j can chatter. French and embroid-! er pillow shams. There is no use talking, we cannot rise above the ; stomach. We must live, and we ' must eat to live and somebody must do the work that living de-. mands. Those people who will not lend a helping hand, but wil-1 lingly prey on their hard working relations, are a disgrace to modern civilization. The truth is we arc too ambitious, loo desirous for easy places; we'll do the eating if some body else will do thecooking;we'll pay the bills, too, if somebody else will earn the money; we can't do everything; people succeed best in pursuits congenial to them; we have no taste for drudgery, there fore we should not do it. This is about the smart logic that is being practiced to the extinction of many a family. Parents take the hard j and give the easy to their children, j The mother lends the kitchen and dairy, and the daughters the parlor ; and school. This it is thought will give them grace and culture and fit , tlicni lo adorn the high position . they are expected to fill, but rarely ' do. Let us think on these things j and indelibly stamp it upon our hearts, that no amount of culture and ease can make amends for the lack of industry and thrift. CASTORIA For Infants and Children.
