THE STANDARD. Friday, July. C, 1S88. OI K SOITIIKKX JIOXE. Wiitteu by a Northern lady for"Our ' Southern Home," at Mt. Holly. The Catawba's jrclden waters Sparkle brightly in the sun; Au i the song-bird's joyous carol, , Tell us summer has hegun. While aniocg the leafv forests, Blossoms, springing from the grouud, Fanned by gentle summer breezes, Shed their fragrance all around. The cuckoo and the thrush Fill the woods with sweetest song; The mock-bird and the linnet Chant their praises ail day long. Here's the happy hunting ground: Slid the sycamore and pine; Nature planted here her vineyard, Filled with lucious muscadine. Every day brings forth a blessing. Want or famine come not near; Peace and plenty, food and raiment, Land and gold, await you here. Health and happiness abide here, Plenty will our wants suffice; Hasten, then no longer linger, Seek our Southern paradise. A STRAXOE RECORD Kept by n Suicide of the Effects of Morphine A New York special of Thursday says: F. T. Lantry, a guest at the Astor House, was found dead in his room this morning. He had cut his throat with a razor. Letters fouud on a table in the room show that he killed himself with great deliberation. He not only used the razor, but had swallowed morphine. With the letters on the table was found a memorandum reading: "Please post the stamped and sealed letters without opening. They give information, of interest only to the persons addressed, and do not at all involve these persons." On another slip of paper found in the rgprn was a record kept by the suicide of the effect of morphine upon him. According to this he swallowed enough of the drug in the form of pills to kill three horses. He had undoubtedly taken too .much of the drug to effect his pur pose, and then resorted to the razor. The record gives the following: "At 4.301 took between thirty and forty one-eighth grain mor phine pills. As one interested in scientific subjects, I observe the effect curiously. There is already some result, but it comes more grad ually than I had anticipated. "5.30 I observe almost no effect. I am not a physician and know very little of the effect of the drug, but I supposed that a three grain dose would be fatal. If at 6 p. m. I do not feel more affected I shall take two or three grains more. "C.15 A little drowsy, but, noth ing to indicate prostrating effects. Will take about the same quantity as before and go to sleep. "G a. m. Have taken 100 pills, and without result." . The 'last ; record is barely deci pherable, while the others are very plainly written. The letters before referred to were opened by the coroner. One (evidently to his wife) is addressed: "Mrs. Lantry, Manlius, N. Y." It reads: "My darling, forgive, me. I loved you always and had faith in your love for me. Do net reproach yourself that for a little time vou once doubted the supreme power of my affections. Some time in the limitless future God will permit us to unite again. As always, Frank." The other is addressed "To whom it may concern," and reads: "This is a sorry ending of a life designed for something, but the fault is chiefly my own. Perhaps if others ! hud exercised a little more chanty and forbearance the result might have been different. Of that I shall know very soon and the others will know in due time. To be forced to give up life just now seems like the irony of fate, for I have fair pros pects of success and entrance into political life almost immediately; but any help to be effective must come now, as the exposure of present difficulties would destroy the possi bility of doing that work which I firmly believe would have led to po litical preferment. I beg my credi tors to treat my wife leniently. I beg all former friends to remember that I have tried to do some good with such powers as God gave me. I do .believe that there are some prosperous and successful people in the world who attribute to me at least part of -their property and sue cess. H. J. Mayer, an agent of the Fquitable Life Insurrance Company, recently received a letter from the deceased. v He told the coroner that he met him seven years ago in Bing huiupton, X. Y.,N and that Lantrv vas then a professor in the institu- tion in the upper part of New York Deceased's wife is said to be a sister of the late Aaron J. Vauderpoel, of New York. i Lantry was a school teacher and lecturer, He was formerly princi pal of the Union School at Manlius, New York. He left there to accept n nosition as lecturer under the x State Board of Education. His business was to visit the various teachers' associations throughout the State and deliver lectures: He fell to drinking before leaving the Union School, and had some trouble with his wife on account of his habits. She separated from him and tried to procure a divorce. His salary was $3,000 a year from the State Board of Education. A Free Leap-Year Marriage license. Some time ago County Clerk King, of Saginaw, Micb., announced that he would give the first young lady who asked a young man to marry her a mariage license free. One day, a few weeks ago, a good looking young woman entered the clerk's office and iuquire;d if this offer still remained good. ; Upon an affirmative answer being given, she said with a blush that she was en titled to the certificate. ' She gave her name as Eliza Willett, her age as twenty-one years, and her residence in East Saginaw, and stated in a charmingly embarrassing way that she had "popped the question" to Joseph S. Griffin, aged twenty-nine, of East Saginaw, and he had an swered in the affirmative. The li cense was issued free. Commercial Advertiser. The Power of Kindness. There is no power of love so hard to get and keep as a kind voice. A kind hand is deaf and dumb. It may be rough in flesh and blood, yet do tho work of a soft heart and do it with a soft touch. But there is no one thing that love'so much needs as a sweet voice to tell what it means and feels; and it is hard to get and keep it in the right tone. One must start in youth 8nd be on the wateh night and day, at work and play, to get and keep a voice that shall speak at all times the thoughts of a kind heart. It is often in youth that one gets a voice or a tone that is sharp, and it sticks to him though life, and stii s up ill will and grief, and falls like a drop of gall on the sweet joys of home. Watch it day by day as a pearl of great price, for it will be worth more to you in days to come than the best pearl hid in the sea. A kind voice is to the heart what liglit is to the eye. It is a light that sings as well as shines. The Best we Hare Ever Had. Col. A. K. McLure, editor of the Philadelphia Times, was inter viewed by a reporter for the Denver News some days ago. Here is what he said about President Cleveland: "The fact is that Mr Cleveland is a greater man than his party. IE stead of leading him, he does the leading. I think he is the best Presi dent we have ever had, as strong and substantial as any man could be. He dosen't fear the party, and, on the contrary it fears him, and so they have to let him lead. He maps out his policy and the leaders of the democracy adhere to its principles. He permits no man to dictate to him, and when once he has made up his mind that a thing is right, no man can change it. Don't construe my meaning: to be that he is obstinate, but simply that he is firm after convincing himself that the stand he assumes is justfiied by circumstances and acts. He does not possess the magnetism or per sonal popularity of Mr. Blaine, but he has that stability which recom mends him to buisness men. They know that hia administration is not as brilliant as that possibly Mr. Blaine would give us: they also know that there is nothing erratic or loose about it. I regard his first term as being a conservative and substantial one free from any signs of weakness, and beneficial to the country at large. He is not governed by party demands, and does not permit them to interfere with what he regards to be his duty. Mr, Thurman will add strength to the ticket, as he is an able statesman and a man of good sound principles. ' A Tough Bird. If the editor of the Riverside Press of California tells the truth. the white wild goose of the Pacific slope is a remarkable bird. He says that he once killed one. It took four bullets from a 44-caliber Sharp's rifle to bring the bird down at a range of seventy-five yards. Each cartridge contained ninety grains of powder. All the bullets passed through the heart of the goose, and lodged in the skin on the side opposite from whence it went in. An attempt was made to boil this bird. "Strange to say, the bul lets were cooked to a jelly before an impression was made on the goose." Judge H. E. Packer, of Mauch Chunck, Penn,, has in his dinine room a.eideboard which cost 827,000. It covers the whole side of a room, and is a model of elaborate and beautiful carving. A pinner from the Bible. As a curiosity, the annexed bill of fare is worth preserving. Taken wholly from the Bible, a right royal banquet it would make. As will be seen, the courses number five. The candelabra and music are specified. Each course is by its appropriate wine accompanied. Though in Pal estine there is now no game, yet at this dinner quail and partridge are provided. With these the spiced wine of Canticle, is prescribed. At such a dessert as this, with the sweet wines of the Prophet Amos, a modern Amos would like to sit. Corresponding bills of fare from Shakespeare have been framed. This one from the Scripture is unique. Of preservation as a curiosity, as we have abpve remarked, it is worthy. It is thus: PRELIMINARIES.

Ten years at hard labor. m When Deacon Pogram visited the theatre for the first time he was greatly shocked at the ballet for a little while.

" J" A copper cent in the possession ol a Chuluata, Fla, citizens is said to be more than worth its weight in gold, because it was coined for the Confederate government during the rebellion, from a die which was cap tured by the United Slates author ities after the forty-second ' piece had been struck off. It ' is thought that only about twenty of these coins are now in existence. It costs a little less than $150,000 per session to pay the mileage of the members of the United States Con gress, and the country pays $50,000 to purchase the stationary for mem bers and officers of the House alone in any one session. rETZEE'S; DRUG STORE.
