THINGS THAT NEVER DIE.
BY CHARLES DICKENS.
The pure, the bright, the beau
tiful. .
That stirred our hearts in
youth, 1
The impulses to wordless prayer,
Th A streams of love and truth;
The longings after something
lost,
The soirit's yearning cry. j
The striving after better hopes
These things can never aie.
The timid hand stretched forth
to aid
A brdther in his need;
Jl kindly word in : grief's dark
- .hour -
That Droves a friend indeed;
The plea for mercy, 'softly
breathed,
When iustice threatens high
The sorrow of a contrite heart
These things shall never die.
The cruel and the bitter word,
That wouncled as it fell;
The chilling want of sympathy
We feel, but never tell;
The hard repulse that chills the
heart, f
Whose hopes were bounding
Jjl an nniaaea record Kept J v
These things shall never die. ' .
Xaot nothing pass, for every hand
Must find some work to do;
Iiose not a chance to waken love;
Be firm, and just, and true;
So shall a light that cannot fade
Beam on the form on high,
-And angel voices say to thee
These things shall never die.
A revolutionary trouble has
broken out in Venezuela. The
J)etroit has been ordered from
.Philadelphia to proceed to
Xiaquayra at at once for the
safety of American residents. It
-seems a pity that those Vene
zuelans can't cuddle down in
harmony and domestic bliss
.since Uncle Grover practically
rtook the sword in one hand and
threiF the other arm over the
; little struggling nation.
v Judge Starbuck is among the
'prominent and conservative Re
publicans of the State who will
vote for the constitutional
amendments. Such as he, Set
tle, Cowles, Guthrie and others
indicate that it will not be party
"vote by which the amendments
' will be adopted.
Hon. Thomas Settle prefers to
vote for the constitutional amend
ments to getting the Republican
nomination for governor. This
sounds like Td rather bo right
than to be president."
An exchange says that of tho
5,920 suicides last year most of
them were .victims of nervous
prostration. The idea is that
life is inado up of too much rush
and push.' The wear and strain
on the physical machinery is too
great. V ' . : w

Greensboro Telegram:
The . monotony -of scratching
quills and clicking types Nin the
Telegram office was momentarily
relieved this morning by an influx
ofiemininity, the peculiar, like of
which seldom falls to the lot of
earthly print shops.
It was an invasion of young
girls having all the insanity-pro-
yoking qualities of Elysian ho uns,
with hair and eyes that would
have driven Apollo wild with
hopeless griei,r and forms suf
ficient to cause the bending
lily to droop away and die. They
tarried but . a -moment, and the
air, "like a chartered libertine,"
stood still lulled by the divine
melody of their silver throats.

at its inability to the? and there

Two Passenger Coaches Go Down.
RoanokeV Va., Sept. 6. One
of the most serious accidents in
the history of the Norfolk &
Western occurred this morninsr
near Narrows, a station on the
Radford division. Two coaches
of an east-bound passenerer train
jumped the track and rolled down
a dO-foot embankment. . Two
persons were killed and 23 more
or less injured. . Tb dead are :
A B Luck, a contractor, of Roa
noke; an infant name unknown.
from Bluefield, W. Va.
All the injured -will recover.
Their wounds are mostly cuts
and bruises. They were able to
be moved and some continued on
their journev. A party, of eisrht
was brought to Roanoke tonight
and received the necessary medi
cal attention. It is said the
spreading of a rail caused the
accident. A wrecking train with
physicians from Roanoke was
sent to the scene of the wreck
this noon. Traffic was delayed
only a few hours on account of
the wreck.
The Durham Sun in its report
oi conrt proceedings says:
''State vs. Charles Freeland,
carrying concealed weapon
Guilty; 60 days on public roads.
If this witness had not so glar
ingly lied, his sentence-would
not have been as severe."

I am the mother of eight child

experience with medicines. Last
summer my little daughter had
the dysentery lix its worst form.
We thought she would die.. J
tried everything I could think of.
I saw by an advertisement in our
paper that Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
was highly recommended ; and
sent and got a bottle at once. It
proved to be one of the very ; best
medicines we ever had m the
house. It saved my Uttle daught

mother to know what an excellent
medicine it is. Had known it at
first it would have saved me a
great deal of anxietv and my
