1
In those autobiographies that treat i
of childhoods days there is relatively !
little reference to the influence of the j
father, it is the watchful mother who !
j
trains sons fitted for distinction. !
And these good mothers are count- ;
le.-s: they may be found in every j
walk of liie, but one hears of them
only through the biographies of the
few whose lives appear to be of such
importance as to warrant the rela-
ti,,!1 m print of all the details of their !
-r-i . i
careers. The maternal instincts
: common to all women may be re-lied
upon to make the wife Tind mother!
, car.' for her offspring so long as they ;
are under her direction and control. !
Hut there comes a time when the
j child must look beyond home for les-1
j sons required for his proper training. ;
j The child is endowed with reasoning :
. and reason must be culti- ;
bv contact with the outer:
world as well as in the home circle.!
It is at this period that the qualities
of the wife and mother are put to the
t ost. It is impos.-ible to lay down
speciiic rules, for tho conditions of
different households are extremely
various, but there is one general
principle that should govern all.
The family residence should be made
a true home, cherished by every
member above all places else on
earth. She who would be a good
mother must !e a good wife and
home-maker a true helpmate to the
husband and father, who. in his turn,
should recognize the idea of partner
ship expressed it! the term and do
his full share to make the home a
place of contentment, rest and true
ihaimim
The idea of a helpmate is truly as
old as Adam, for the word is derived
from the distorted compound help
meet. Woman was created to be a
helpmeet (that is tit) for Adam, and
thence was derived the word help
meet, more accurately expressed by
the modern term helpmate. It is an
excellent term because it gives the
idea of quality in partnership, and,
though the helpmate is specifically
the wife, the mutual obligations of
the husband are implied in the very
idea of one who is to help him. Hus-
oand and wife, father and mother
are aliKo ronuueU l- their relation
ship to make a true home in which
tho young are to be reared. In the
oldr-n time the father, quite as much
as the mother, was charged with the
duty of training the young, but with
the evolution of society the husband
has been made a broad-winner in
occupations to which lie cannot take
his sons as his forefathers did theirs
to the c hase.
The children must be left at home
under the care and guidance of the
mother, and hence she becomes the
controlling intiueuce upon their
minds and characters at the period
of their lives when they are most im
pressionable. She may readily learn
to care for their physical wants and
their health, but it is too much to
expect that she shall become an ex-
pert in training their minds or that

GIVE US A REST."
That is What Kill Arp Says tho People
Xow Stand in Need.
'(, where shall rest !e found.
Host for tin weary soul."
That is a beautiful hymn. Hut the
mind wants rest too rest from poli
ties, from the tariff, from silver and
gold, from Hawaii and Rio Janeiro
rest from Evans and Clay and Atkin
son rest from the woman question
and pulpit controversy rest from
the swim and slush of daily news
the murders and suicides and lynch
ing and rest from Mitchell and
Corbett.
Of course we must have politics
and candidates and controversy and
the news, but once in a while the
mind gets tired of all these and needs
rest. I don't know a better place to
find it than in a little hamlet that
overlooks the sea or the gulf where
one eitn aze dreamily upon the wa
ters, and, like Byron, become poetic
and exclaim: '
"Roll on. thou deep and dark blue
ocean, roll."
It is jjood for a man to feel his in
significance once in a while, and he
can do it here. It is tok1 to o;ct
away from the restless, turbulent
world, and let his mind become calm
and serene. He ouht to have a few
old-fashioned books such as Gold
smith and Cowperand Tom Hood and
Irving and Ike Marvel books that
please without a strain books tender
and true, and that harden not the
heart. There is something about the
ocean or a lake or a river, or even a
little rivulet, that calms and com-
forts the mind. The little spring
branch is a never failing delight to a
child, and the memory of it is fresh
and green in our declining years.
Byron says:
"And I have loved tho ocean and my
delight when a !oy w as to wanton in
thy breakers."

Since my last letter, the fishing boys

down below him. and they
numbered 27,010. They salted them
down, and had seven barrels of fish
roe, for which they got 2 cents a
pound. Just think of 27.000 fish
caught in one night. Mr. Orr is
from South Carolina, a ncohew of
Hon. James L. Orr, and, of course, a
truthful man. He owns a fishing
boat that plies between Petersburg
and Sarasota bay, and I am going
down with him soon and see those
wonders of the deep with mine own
eyes. I have been accustomed, and
perhaps hardened, to marvelous sto

a man's faith to believe everything

night by the hundreds trying to get

hung in a sapling close by. They
eat up his dog quick. lie and his
companion put their guns through

night, and as fast as they killed them
the others cat them up except the
bones and hair, and more wolves
kept on coming and eating; but about
daybreak they left, and when lie and
his companion opened the door the
hair and the bones was three feet
deep all around the cabin. Well, of
course, a little allowance must be
made for imagination, and the flight
of time and the lack of a yard stick
to measure with: but a man told
me that the last time he heard that
storv told the wolf hair wasn't but
two feet deep. That is all very nat
ural. I have told stories mysels that
got bigger and bigger as the years
rolied on. The temptation to exag
gerate is almost irresistible, and it
is so universal that nobody believes
more than half of a marvelous story.
I reckon it was our earlv reading of

and (Julliver's travels that got our
generation into this habit. Every

Last Week in Trade Circles.
Special Correspondence.
Nkw York, Jan. 13, 1891.
Business during the last week has
moderately improved. The most en
couraging feature has been an in
crease in the industrial output. The
decline in production under the stress
of the business depression of the last
half of 1S9: was relatively greater
than the decrease in the distribution
of merchandise. Stocks of manufac
tured goods have, therefore, been
greatly reduced; and the recognition
of this fact, or an actual increase in
demand, has induced the resumption
of work in many mills and factories
all over the count r-. Manufactur
ers are reluctant to take even usual
risks on the eve of tariff legislation;
and the progress of industrial recov
ery is, therefore, likely to be slow.
Hut the change in the situation since
the opening of the new year has been
sufficient to show that the work of
recuperation has begun; and in view
of the exhaustion of stocks it is likely
to continue.
The growth of business in all lines
has been very gradual, but the ten
dency is in the right direction.
Measured b- bank clearings domes
tie trade is in volume 21 per cent,
smaller than it was a year ago; and
the earnings of railroads so far dur
ing this month have shown about
the same percentage of decrease.
The fact that business is still being
conducted on an extremely conserva
tive basis is indicated by the steady
accumulation of idle capital, and the
low rates of interest. The reserves
of the New York banks are the larg
est on record, and their deposits are
SKMMMMUHiO in excess of their loans.
Failures in -the United States and
Canada during the last week num
bered 331, as against '.MH for the cor
responding period last year.
A further advance of IMl! of a cent
per pound in cotton prices reflects
the effect of a declining movement
from the plantations, and more en
couraging accounts from Liverpool
and Manchester. Port receipts have
further decreased, and are now about
on a level with those tf last year;
but the falling off in shipments from
the plantations is greater than that
indicated by the decline in the move
ment to the ports, which is in part
at the expense of a reduction in
stocks at interior towns. Weekly
exports of cotton continue to exceed
those of last season at the corre
sponding perioil, the movement dur
ing the last five days showing an in
crease of over l(M) per cent. The
price of cotton even at the late ad
vance is 1 3-1 G cents less than it was
a year ago. Exports so far this year
have greatly exceeded those of any
previous year the shipments last
week aggregating 14.(123 packages.

responding period last year. The
increase has been chiefly in exports
to China, which have been three
fourths of the whole movement.
There was an advance of '2 cents
per bushel in wheat prices early in
the week; but it has since been lost
and the markets are now J to i of a
cent lower than they were a week
ago, and within 1 to 1 cents of the
lowest figures recently recorded on
this crop. The bases of the early
recovery were the falling off in inte
rior receipts, a slight reduction in
the accumulation of warehouse
stocks: and the Government estimate
of a decrease of (.S per cent, in the
acreage of winter wheat for the pre
sent season. These features of the
situation encouraged the develop-
ment of a bullish sentiment on the !
grain exchanges; but the rising ten
dency of prices met with no response
abroad and in the absence of any
general demand for export, the real
izations of speculators caused the re
action in the markets. The final of
ficial estimate of the 1803 wheat crop
was 3!;,132.(M)0 bu.-hels; but it is
generally regarded jjs below the ac
tual production by anywhere from
30.000.iMto to 30.0tn,(M0 bushels.
Corn prices have receded I to 2 of
a cent per bushel, as a result of the
weakness in the wheat markets and
an increased visible supply. The in
terior movement of corn has contin
ued large, and the indications' Hint
to no material decrease in the ship
ments frown primary points in the
near future. Exports of corn have
been large, and there has been a well
sustained foreign demand. In pro

A Sensational Trial.
Charlotte New-,.
At the special term of Caldwell
Superior court, the most remarkable
trial on record in this State is now
in progress. The question in vol veil
is whether the Church of the Advent
ists is an "evangelical Christian
church." It is said that the attorneys
on both sides (and there are a num
ber of th"in) a iv studying the Bible,
instead of the law In Niks. The cause
of the trial is the gift of lands "to
the use of any evangelical church."'
A churclfwas built which various
denominations used. The Adventists
finally began to build a new church.
The Baptists secured an injunction
on the ground that the Adventists
were not evangelical. The Advent
ists believe in the annihilation of the
souls of sinners. One of their
preachers said in the pulpit: "A sin
ner's soul disappears like a piece of
laid in a hot skillet."

lowing Sunday, after which she was
