Lowell, Mass. g 1 1 ! Co'fe' u 1 e The Old Oaken Bucket. How dear to my heart are the scenes of my' childhood When fond recollection presents them to view ! The orchard, the meadow, the deep-tan gled wiMwood, And every loved spot which my in fancy knew; The wide-spreading pond and the mill which stood lv it. The bridge, and the rock where the cataract fell. T.he cot of my father, the dairy house nign it. And e'en the rude bucket which hung in the well; The old oaken bucket, the iron-bound bucket, . The moss-covered bucket, which Imn in the well. That moss-covered bucket I hail as a treasure; For often, at noon, when returned from the field, f found it the source of an exquisite pleasure, The purest and sweetest that nature can yield. How ardent I seized it, with hands that were glowing. Ami quick to the white-pebbled bottom it fell; Then soon with the emblems of truth overflowing. And dripping with coolness, it rose from the well; The old oaken bucket, the iron-bound bucket, The moss-covered bucket arose from the well. How sweet from the green mossy brim to receive it. As poised on the curb, inclined to mv lips! Not a full blushing goblet could tempt me to leave it, Though tilled with the nectar that Jupiter sips. And now, far removed from the loved situation, The tear of" regret will intrusively swell, As fancy reverts to my father's planta tion, And sighs for the bucket that hangs in the well; The old oaken bucket, the iron-bound bucket, The moss-covered bucket that hangs in the well. Duty. It has been said by some threat man that "duty is the sublimest word in the English lanuae. " In deed duty is so sublime a ttain that some very conscientious people have an exaggerated idea of it. There can be no question as to the simple fact that the secret of happiness lies in the faithful discharge of one's duty. The person who, as he under stands it, faithfully discharges his duty to his God and to his fellow man will be happy as far as human happiness can be attained. But he who lives under an exaggerated idea, as we have said, of what his duty is will be as unhappy as the derelict. Such people go on and do the best that ther can, yet reproach them selves and are miserable because all does not turn out well. We are not responsible for results. Our sphere of action, our capabilities are limited. We can only act in the living present, we cannot control the future, and hence we cannot fairly be held responsible for what the future may bring forth. God could not be a just God and require at our hands anything more than a faithful performance of the duties of the hour, and if we live by that rule we may be sure that results will be taken care of. Naturally we are sorry when we fail and often we are cast down by failure. Every man loves success, every man is sorry to make a mistake, but the philosophy of life is to give to the work in hand and to all our work our time and our best talents and energies, doing the best that we can and leave the re sults alone. This does not imply that our endeavors will not often miscarry. It is not meant to guar antee the success of all enterprises which one undertakes. But this much is certain, the man who walks uprightly and who lives a dutiful life will have builded up a well round ed character, will have made a suc cess of his life, and that after all is what we are put here for. The trouble with over-conscientious people is that they do not look far enough, they do not see their actions and the results from the right point of view. They look with out when they should look within. The great work of every man's life is not rail road-building or factory building, newspaper-building, but character building. There is no promise that the railroads, the fac tories, the newspapers, or any of the enterprises of life which we under take will in themselves be successful, but there is promise and absolute guarantee that the faithful discharge of duty in all the departments of life will by and by make perfect charac ter, and perfect character means perfect happiness for all eternity. Character can never fail. Home can never be transferred never repeated in the experience of an individual. The place consecrated by paternal love; by the innocence of sports of childhood; and by the first acquaintance of the heart with nature, is the only true home. We have saved many doctor bills since we began using ( 'hamberlaiirs 'ough Remedy in our home. We keep a bottle open all the time and whenever any of my family or myself begin to catch cold we begin to use the Cough Kemedy, and as a result we never have to send away for a doctor and incur a large doctor bill, for Chamberlain's Cough Kemedy never fails to cure. It is certaiuly a medicine of great merit and worth. I). S. Mf.aicklk, General Merchant and Farmer, Mattie. Hedford count', I'a. For sale by M. E. Kobinson & Uro., J. H.

This is to be a play a drama in which there are but two actors tn hero and a heroine. Fifty years ago they were the bright particular stars in this same play and were the cyno sures of many eyes and received the warm congratulations of kindred and friends, but now the role of the drama is reversed. The stars have faded and lost their dazzling light. The actors can no longer strut or pose upon the stage and the sympa thetic audience must do the playing. Passive, pensive, subdued and grate ful, my wife and I can onlj' receive our friends, listen to their saluta tions, rejoice with those who rejoice and sympathize with those who have had sorrow. Fifty years ago there was not a cloud hovering over our horizon no apprehension of trouble or grief or death or war or an' dire calamity. Bright hopes and fond expectations filled our cup to the brim and Love's 'Oung dream made everything to seem beautiful. We breathed the poet's grateful prayer, "The world is very loely. Oh my God 1 thank Thee that I live.'' The memory of those halcyon days is sweet and lingers with us, but in course of time the unwelcome con trast came. Afflictions and anxie ties invaded our humble home. Sickness came, and death, and then war with all its horrors. Then our dear parents passed away and left us to fight our battles alone, and we have long since learned that life's victory is to suffer and be strong to look upon the bright side to enjoy the blessings of the present rather than lament those we have lost or borrow trouble that may never come. In looking backward over our wed ded life I can say that we have had more than our share of peace and joy of comfort and luxury of health and strength; more than usually falls to the lot of mortals. As we look- around or read the public press we learn of misery and distress, sickness and want all over this blessed land, and there are thousands of unhappy creatures languishing in the prisons while their wives and mothers and children suffer and grieve in broken hearted homes. It grieves us to think of these, and we can but rejoice that Providence has granted to us a better fate. We still have liberty and neither we nor our children nor our children's children have ever suf fered for the comforts of life. Some years ago, at a county fair in rkansas, I was introduced to an aged couple who had been awarded the premium for bringing upon the ground the largest family and the most numerous posterity. Each of them had passed the four score mark, and while I was taking notes the old man said : "And you may put down that nary one of our ten sons or seven sous-in-law have ever been brought into court for anything that they have done. And Mr. Arp you may put down that me and my wife have lived together sixty-one years and both joined the Baptist church sixty years ago, and enduriu' all that time I have voted the democratic ticket; put that down, Mr. Arp." If I were asked what is the lever that moves the world, I would answer, "it is love. I he poet savs : "All thoughts, all passions, all delights Whatever stirs this mortal frame, All are but ministers of love And feed its sacred Haine." Education and religion and inven tion are all levers, but stronger than all combined is love the love of parents for their children and their children's children the love of hus band and wife, of young men for their sweethearts or of girls for their lovers, the love of friend for friend and of the generous and philanthropic for humankind, the love of home and country and of the scenes of our childhood, the hills and vales and springs aud streams, the trees and flowers that adorn them. Walter Scott never wrote a stronger or truer verse than when he said : "Love rules the camp, the court the grove. And men below and saints above: For love is heaven and heaven is love." Fond memory goes back to 1113' own youthful days when I was a school boy and loved a pretty lass of twelve summers and she knew it, and when at our books on opposite sides of the room ever and anon she glanced at me and alwa3's blushed when I re turned her gaze. It was an incentive to me to study and keep up with her, for she was a good scholar. At the weekly spelling bee, when all of us stood in a semi-cirele half round the room she general' got head and sta3red there, and I general' got next to her and slyly held her hand in mine and sta3'ed there, too. That was but a schoolbo3''s love and with time and separation it faded away. Then I went to the institute and was prepared for college and in due time became a sophomore at what is now called the University of Georgia. I found many sweet and pretty girls in. Athens, and during my second -ear fell desperatel' in love with one of them. Ah, how gently she tolled me along and hov sweetly she toyed with me and sang the same old story "Will you walk into my parlor, said the spider to the fly" and I walked in. She was kind, very kind, and said she would always love me as a sister. Alas, these sisters who are of no kin. My addresses were re jected and all I could do was to smite upon my breast and exclaim : "Maid of Athens, ere we part, Give, oh give nie, back my heart.'1 But time is a good doctor and in a few months I was well and ready for another spider. When nearing the close of my col lege life my father's extreme illness called me home and I took charge of his mercantile business. Three years before, when I went to college, I left behind me a sweet little hazel eyed, black-haired brunette who was a schoolgirl in short dresses and pan talettes. Soon after my departure she lengthened out her dresses and was sent by her father to Augusta, there to finish her education. We both returned home about the same time and I was surprised and de lighted to find her a full blown rose, a brunette maiden as dark as Poca hontas and as shy as a fawn. She wore number 2 shoes and stepped like a deer. She was then just sweet sixteen and I had reason to believe had never had a full grown lover. Her father was a wealthy and dis tinguished lawyer. Her mother was a Holt with a strain of Indian blood in her veins that came straight down from Pocahontas through the Ran dolphs of Virginia. That Indian maiden had loved , Captain John Smith, and as I had a strain of Smith blood in my veins I saw no reason why this maiden should not love me and I determined to play the spider myself. The village graveyard was near the big gate that stood at the end of the avenue that led to her father's house. ! A smart young law-er of the town had begun his visitations at the paternal mansion with serious in tent, but one dark night he became frightened near the graveyard and declared that somebod3' shot at him. I had begun my visits, too, and it was whispered arouud that it was I who haunted the young lawyer and scared him off the track. Of course there was no truth in this, for I did not hanker after an3' close commun ion with ghosts or graveyards 1113' self and it took me a long time to overcome my superstition and to feel calm and serene on the way. But I j did. and sometimes would get within i the enclosure and sit upon a tomb stone and ruminate and wait for the spirits to come. But this little narrative is becom ing tedious. To me it is lengthened sweetness long drawn out, for it did not take me long to fall deeply, des perately, devotedly in love and my opinion was then and still is, that Cupid shot us both at once with the same arrow. A girl of sixteen who has never had a lover is easil3 cap tured b3' a smart, handsome, promis ing young man, and my wife will tell you that I was all of that and more, too. I remember, oh yes, I remember, how one moonlight night, whaa-we . were taking a walk with a party of 3-oung people and I had ventured to take her hand in mine as I recited some prett3' verses from Goldsmith's '.'Hermit," I said: "And now, my dear girl, why shouldent we love each other and mate and marry like the birds." The gentle pressure of her hand was answer enough and I drew her closer to me and kissed her. "She wept with pity and delight She blushed with love and virgin shame And like the murmur of a dream I heard her breathe my name." "She; half inclosed me in her arms. She pressed me with a meek embrace And bending back her head looked up Ami gazed into my face." That is the way that Coleridge won his Genevieve his bright and beau teous bride; and on that same line did I win mine. She was not my first love, but I was hers, bless her heart. Oh love, delicious, angelic love, the boon from heaven, the comfort of the soul ! When I was young my father made me commit to memory the "Hermit" and "Genevieve," "The Song of the Shirt," "Gray's Fleg3r," "Marco Bozaris" and many other pathetic pieces, and I love to recall them, for there is no such poetry written now. They help to mold and establish the emotional character of the 3oung and to fix their moral principles. He had a fear of Byron and kept it from me until I was older Byron, of whom McCauley said: "His ethics were compounded of misanthropy and vo luptousness and whose two command ments were to hate your neighbor and love 3'our neighbor's wife." I cannot write poetr3r, but I love to recite it. Sometimes when I have been long absent, I would slip in at night and surprise 1113' wife and child ren as the3 were gathered around the hearthstone, and gently opening the door, exclaim : "Turn Angelina, ever dear, M' charmer, turn to see Thine own, thy long lost William here, Kestored to heaveu aud thee." Such sweet courtesies help to re store the equilibrium between the jo3-s and sorrows, the ups and down of married life, u e can make it happy if we choose, but one cannot make it so alone. It takes two for happiness was born a twin. A NATION'S l)0IX(iS. The Sews From Everywhere Gathered and Condensed. Fourteen buildings were burned at Spots wood, X.

Y.) tlairyman called at a drug store there for a doctor to come and see his child, then very sick with croup. Not finding the doctor in, he left word for him to come at once on his return. He also bought a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Kemedy. w hich he hoped would give some relief until the doctor should arrive. In a few hours he returned, saying the doctor need not come, as the child was much better. The druggist, Mr. Otto Scholz, says the family has since recommended Chamberlain's Cough Remed3r to their neighbors and friends until he has a constant demand for it from that part of the country.

The republican leaders are laying the wires for a financial fake that is expected to tide the party over the Presidential campaign. The caucus committee of Representatives elected to the next Congress, chosen to pre pare a financial bill for the republi cans, met in AYashington last week and agreed to meet again in Atlan tic City the 17th of next month. How this thing strikes a veteran political observer irmy be judged by the fol lowing words of ex-Congressman Dolliver, of Mo., in relation thereto: "The republican caucus comittee is now engaged in making a pretense of doing that which they have no in tention of doing the framing of a measure for currency reform. They will do their best, and I guess will succeed in staving off any change in the financial statutes until after McKinely has been a candidate for another term. Their heroic and vo ciferous assertion that they will do anything at all, does not fool me." It is probable that the committee will get up some sort of a bill, but it will be purposely made meaningless. Mr. McKinely has no idea of allow ing any real financial legislation be fore the Presidential election. Senator Jones, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, has had a second attack of heart trouble, similar to the one that laid him up several weeks before Congress ad journed, but neither his pli3'sician not his family regard his condition as dangerous as it has been repre sented to be in telegrams sent from AYashington. The doctor thinks the Senator will be all right, if he will remain perfectly quiet for about a month and not attempt to attend to any business whatever. Those who know the energetic make-up of the Senator will understand how diffi cult it will be for him to meet the doctor's wishes. Gen. AYilson, Chief of Engineers, under whom Gen. Hale, who is mak ing a fighting record in the Philip pines, served from the time he grad uated from AA'est Point with the highest standing in studies ever at tained, until he resigned from the arm3" to engage in private business, at Denver, Colo., said of him: "He was the most remarkable man I have ever known, both in his studies and in his abilities and I am delighted to hear that he has made out so well. He is 3roung enough to attain almost aii3r rank if he should stay in the army." Gen. Hale entered the volun teer army as Colonel of the First Colorado Regiment, and was promot ed to Brigadier General last August. He is only 37 3'ears old. It is reported and generally be lieved in AYashington that Secretar3' Alger has offered to resign, provided Mr. McKinely will allow him to name his successor. How is that for gall ? That such an offer should have been made indicated that Alger has a hold upon Mr. McKinley that compels the latter to defer to him. It would not change the situation a particle for Alger to retire from the Cabinet, if he was succeeded by a man selected by himself to continue the S3-stem that has been aptly called Algerism and to cover up all its past defects. Mr. McKinley's wisest advisers are trying to get him to defy Alger, force him to resign, and put a mare in his place whose name will convince the country that he will not allow a continuance of Algerism. This ad vice would have been adopted long ago, only it has failed to get the en dorsement of Boss Hanna, who alone knows how many damaging secrets connected with '1)6 Alger could and doubtless would tell, if not let down easy. The report that the Attorne3' General of the United States was about to begin proceedings against the Standard Oil Company for viola ting the Anti-Trust law was too good to be true. There is no doubt that the Standard Oil trust and a score of others are constantly violat ing the Anti-Trust law, but the ob ligations of the present administra tion to trusts, as well as the close business relations existing between some of the men who now dominate the republican part3' with trusts, are such that nothing short of actual conviction of them would convince anybod3' that any serious prosecu tion of trusts will take place under this administration. AThen the Presidential campaign opens there may be a bluff made towards prose cuting trusts, for the benefit of the very gullible voters. Mr. Daniel O'Leary, chief factor inspector of New York, testified be fore the Industrial Comraission, now sitting in AYashington, that he had reported to the AYar Department some time ago that clothing; for the United States Army wasb'iing made in the sweat shops of New York city, which shows how much sincerity there is in the claim of the republi can party to be the friend of the work ing classes. Mr. O'Leary said the prices paid for work were; about as follows: coat3 H2J cent", - infantry pants 22 cents, cavalry pants from 2G to 33 cents, and vests from 11 to 14 cents. Nice friendship, tobe a party to making raen and woi jaca vork for such prices, isn't it? ALL OVER THE STAT A Summary of Current Events for the Past Seven Days. Tko more" cotton mills will be built at Concord this year. AYilliam Cass, of Iredell count3T, fell from a foot-log into Brushy creek and was drowned. He had been drinking.

The Durham correspondent of the Raleigh News and Observer notes the death of a citizen 104 years old, and "now Henderson comes to the front with one 100 -ears. Thomas Jones, aged 40. of Cary, was killed b3' a Southern train near Raleigh earl3' Sunday morning, while on his way home. The engineer says he was sitting on the edge of the track. President Patrick and his board of directors refuses to surrender the Atlantic and North Carolina Rail road to President Br3an and his board, and the matter will be con tested in the courts. Members of the Tenth Immune Regiment, colored, indulged in great rioting during their passage through North Carolina Thursday on their way home from Macon, Ga., where the' were mustered out. The new director of the State Board of Agriculture met at Raleigh, Thursda3 and organized by electing John S. Cunningham, of Person county, president, and Thomas K. Bruner, of Rowan count', secretar3. North Carolina will have an exhibit at the Paris exposition and T. K. Bruner will be in charge of it. An old law gives the Board of Agricul ture power to make such exhibits. The materials are in hand, in the magnificent museum. In Yadkin count', Saturday, a 13- year-old daughter of Robert Martin was accidentally shot dead by AYalter Bonge, a 13-year-old negro 003', who was fooling with a gun, pointing it at the girl, who was standing in the door with a baby in her arms. The business men of AYilmington, through a committee of two, on Friday, turned over the sum of $0'00 to the several negro lodges who owned The Record building, which was accidental' burned the 10th of IcLSt November when the plaut of the icfamous paper was demolished. The AYadesboro Messenger says the barn and stables of J. ,C. McRae, of Mod tgomery couuty, were destroy ed by an incendiary fire a few nights ago. Two goou mules were ournea to death and a lot of fodder, shucks, etc., were also destro3red. Two young white cien by the name of Harris have been arrested charged with set ting fire to the barn. They are now in jail at Tro3'. Pointers to Farmers. A Richmond county farmer raised 74J bushels of potatoes on one acre of ground last year. This should be a pointer to those farmers who think cotton the only money crop. Pota toes are now retailed at 73 cents per bushel. But if the Richmond county farmer sod his crop at 50 cents per bushel, he would have realized the neat sum of .370 from a sinole acre of land. Now, if the Rkhmond county man's neighbor who planted cotton had made a bale to the .acre and sold it at $25 per bale, it would have re-i quired fifteen acres for .bim to have realized $370, the; sum the potato man made on a single acre. .Besides, the cost of cultivating one acre of potatoes is much less than the cost of fifteen acres of cotton. Of course every man who plants potatoes can not expect to make 740 bufebels per acre, nor can every farmer who plants cotton expect to raise a bale per acre, or sell his crop for $23 per bale.
