The glow worm lights a traveler's path ; the jebhle turns the tide. Kills rill the river ; rivers send their vapors forth and again till the till.

SOUTH AFRICAN RUINS, Building! at Zimbabwe That May Bs of King Solomon i Tune, It would H'l'iil that nt Homo far tlistitnt date ft people more civilize'l than any of the present Kallir tribe had penetrated into the region wo now cull ATasliunalitml Hint hau maintained itself there for n coiisid erahln period. Remains of gold workings are found in ninny pints of that country, ami even as far as the south western part of Matahelo htud remains wliieh show that milling must ha"u been carried 'm, by primitive methods no doubt, but aiill upon a scale larger tlisn wo can well tleein within the capabilities of tho Kallir tribes as wo now see them.

'hese old buildings are, with olio exception, bits of wall Inclosing forts or resiliences. I hey are con structed of small blocks of granite of tho country, carefully trimmed to be of one size, and Are usually or iiaiiienteil with A simple pattern, siieli as the so called "herringbone" pattern. The one exception is to be found in the ruins of Zimbabwe., in southern Miidim nlaiid.

There are no inscriptions of any kind and few objects, except some rudely carved heads of birds, tosnp ily any indication a to tlm ellino igical affinities of the people who erecteij this linililing or ns to the naturcof theii worship. Such indi cations as we have, however, sug gest that it was some form ot nature worship, including tlm worship ol the sun. We know from other sources, including the r.gvptian monuments and the ( ld Testament, that there was trotti very earlv times trade between the Red sea and some part of e.st Alrica, and as we know also that the worship ot nat ural torces and of the sun prevailed among the early Semites the view that the builders ol Zimbabwe were of Arab or some other Semitic stock is at last highly plausible-. 1 wo tl.:iigs are tpnteclear toovcry one who examines the ruins and ornpares them with the smaller fragments of ancient buildings al ready mentioned. Those who built Zimbabwe were a race much su perior to the Mantu tri!a?s, whose mud huts are now to Ihi found not fir from these still strong and soli j walls, and those other remains scat teied through the country were either the work of that tame siie rior race or, at any rate, were built in imitation of their style and under the intlue-me they had left. Mut whether this rsce was driven out or peaceably withdrew or lax-,anic by degrees absoila-d and lost in the 8'irKiunding Mantu population we have no data foi conjecture. If they came from Arabia, they must have come m rc than 12 eenturtre ago, la-tore the days of Mohammed, for theytwero evidently not Mns.s! rnans, and it is just as easy to sup pose that they came in the days of Solomon, 15 centuries earlier.

O., Mr. Cnpt. Johns nnd Mr. Perio John, of Mount Airy, went up to the "Fancy (Jap," to Mitchell'- Peak, Carroll county. V. Tho scenery up tho "dap" was grand and wo never tired of feasting our eves upon tho beautiful panorama before us. Tho road Is a single Hack, only room nt certain place for vehicles to pass, On one side tho mountain towered above us, great cliff's of solid rock,' covered with moss and fern, nnd dowmdowu, on the oilier side, thousands ol feet to tho valley below, counties moiin tfiin brooks diishod down the side of tho cliff hihI broke into spray over the precipices. Wo passed an old mill where the water from the mountain hit enough force to turn Iho big wheel t'm fall is so great. Wo reached tho summit about II lock and ato our lunch near Hotel Mitchell. The spring at this plaeti is a large tine, cold s ice. As we stooped lo dip our gourd into it wo uttered An erclairiation of sur prise, for wo thniiglit the spring was try, and wo coii'dn t bo convinced until some one dipped the WAtcr from its cloAr sparkling deptha. After riding acros tho top of tho eak somo distance we started afoot to tho "I 'evil's Den" tho; grcAtest curiosity in all the moun tain region. The scenery from tlm cliff is tinsurpasst d. How the cave got its name, or when, nobody knows, but it has leeri explored for one hundred year. Srrrcly no more fitting ties. gnation could have la'en found for an evh influence seems to hover over the place. .xortli Carolina girls nre no cowards, however, for it took hotli grit and nerve to begin the dos cut. a vingle mis step meant loath; tho cabins in the cave below looked li kc double houses A thous and feet from us. After Jamher- ingdown tlm sheer side ot the "cliff," we reached the entrance to the "Den." As the torches were lit. we lud a glimpse into tho awful iai kncr. We didn't Know exactly whether wo were frightened or riot, but we grew very ipiiet, and some of our party wouldn't venture. Winding through, narrow passes, down, down, into the darkness, we came into the first room, or cave, and looking above us, saw the cliff, solid walls of rock, U0 feet high, great landders hanging in mid air, seemed as if they would fall and crush us. At one pass, just Ixilow this room, the entrance was a ere-va.-so between two shelving rocks, scarcely two feet across. We had to push along with our hands and faces close to the rock not room enough to lift our heads for a breath ol air. This pass was atwut lil feet long; so, squeezing, pushing, crawl ing on our hands and knees, climb ing dew u ladders and hewn steps we reaeiied the bottom, fi(M) toot' from the entrance. On side otrfliis cave was a small opening, hardly largo enough to crawl through; we threw nx-kb into the darkness and could not hear them 111. As we stood huddled together, in this lat room, the torches.' dun light threw fantastic shadows upon the rocks; a laugh sounded like a fiendish shriek as it echoed and re-echoed through the subterranean depths, i reminding one of " Dan f e's I n f erno," and wc felt almost as if we had "ieft ab hope Itfhind." One of the girls fearing t'm proximity of "Evil," cried, Oli! 1 sec two great big eyes, oh! oh! but we convinced her, that "angels, such as she,v would tmt be hammed. The rocKs contain mica, and the water sunding in myriad dmps np the sides of the cave glistened like silver and gold. The ascent was tiresome, and we were plad to reach the entrance and see tit light of day. The atmos phere was abont 4n in the cave and theVixd breeze np tn tfie 'moun tain seemed warm to us afterwards. Ttiis marvelous cavern is 15 miles from Mount Airy, N. C, over a good graded road. Safegnides aie in attendance at all times to .con duct xisitors (for a small sum) through the "Den." Ail tourists to this side of the Rnlge should vij-it this spot. As we drove down the "Gap" in the twilight, conllicting emotions tilled our hearts, and we were de voutly thankful that we had been kept from accident, we had been to ttie top of the "Ridge," 4' KM ffet above tiie sea level, and down into the very bowels of tire earth. The pure air, sparkling water, cold a ice. the hospitality of be jieojOe make this a "home fit for the Otals." The heart that is not thrilled by the lieauty and grandeur of the scenery is bard, indeed. We reach ed home weary and worn with t;r bng day.

Our Out Charitable, Loving nnd for bearing Odd Fellow , There must be something more in a secret so.iiety than an imaginary virtue thorn must bo something tangible, something real. W e claim that our Order (" iitainia substance n jta well Arranged system ot chari ties, in tho assistance it lends to brother in dn tress, and in it fatherly protection tit tho widow and tho oriiluin. It those are not matter woi thy of our earnest consideration, whoto on tin face of tho earth shall wo liml theinf To relieve sister in distress, or dry the orphan's tear, Is a work tliut the angels of heaven would not scorn to do, Hiid how much loss ought we, who aro mor tal hero below. If the widow' tears, or the orphan' prayer aro anything, or weigh anything in tho biJiinco agaiu-t tho few paltry dol lars wo pa) into tho treasury, or tho lew hours wo spend each week in tho lodge rooui, then ro we amply repaid. Men have given their lives to charity, nor shrunk from tho self imposed duty. Wo aro not called upon to dj that, but a mere trillo in time, ami a mpru pittance in money will do the noblo work. Philosophers and philanthropist may weave their linn-spun theories of charity lor the million, but it i tho man who puts his shoulder to tlm wheel that d- e tho real work. Theories are cheap, but it is prne Hoc that is expensive. A man may be continually talking ot hij plans lor tho nmeli ratn n of tho human race, but it is he who early and late, in sunshine nnd rain, is fount bind ing up tho wounds of hi fellow mortals, that ought to receive tho glory. Wo cannot alwaj give, but wo can always, and on all occa sions, speak words of comfort to the afflicted ones, who so much need this kind of sympathy. In this great and g's work none arc too high, none arc too low, none are toil poor to engage. Fvcry man and woman under tho canopy of heaven has a power, a capacity, a gilt, with which God ha endowed him or her, which when properly exercised, will bless tho needy, soothe the angry, excuse tho faulty, bind up the broken-heaited, raise up the bowed down, console the desponding, comfort tho afflicted, strengthen the weak, feed tho hungry, clothe the naked, reclaim the wanderer, render assistance to the destitute. Tho handing of a cup of cold v ater to the dying, or the contribution of "two mites" to the hungry, may, by some lm deemed an a..-t of charity upon a small teal, but it may prove to the recipient of more real, intrinsic worth than the treasures of earth. He who waiu to do a great deal of good atone and the same time, may never do any. To visit the 6ick is the first and chief command of Odd Fellowship, and a faithful performance ot this injunction has done more to in crease and build up the Order than the discharge of any other duty en joined in Odd Fellowship. In the infancy ot tho Order, when opra vi rion and prejudice was most preva lent, arid dark forelx.ding of the early extinction, of an institution whoso meetings were held in secret, and of whom the outside world could learn nothing that transpired in ilmir lodge rooms, then it was that visiting the sick and its attend ant duties exhibited to the world the true character and moral gran deur ot onr beloved Order. Now, if the faithful performance of this important drty enjoined by the laws of Odd Fellowship has work ed such bom tici&l results for tho l rder, is it re t sate to presume that the neglect, t r failnre of officers and memlicrs to eirry out this injunc tion, this furnlamtijtal principle will work disastrously to the rder, and retard the growth and usefulness of onr institution. Our by-laws provide that when a brother is rcjairteJ sick, the relief committee shall visit him. or cause him to Ih3 visited; and it Lis case re quires it, a rn.rse shall be provided, whvsc dutv i to render erery assist ance required. To defray the ex penses tat sai l finrse, a tax is im posed on each number. Now, this is a very wise provision, and right and proper in itself; but the trouble is, that the members imagine after they have done this, that their duty cea-es, arid therefore neglect the fiist and chief command of the Order visit the sick. To say the attention ;aid by the officer, whose piition and obligations make it their imperative duty to render such assistance, is not appreciated, would be uttering what is not true; but I know by clwcrvation and ex perience, tln.t the voluntary visits ol itietutitrs topping in from time to time, to inquire, 'llow is brother John today? Is there anything 1 can do for yout" are more highly appreciated -.-n account of their le ing voluntary, and divested of all official formality, and speak to the h i!art of the Soiisinve brother, telling he is not forgotten that the lessons of the Order are not ctnjKj sound that faith and charity deombine to bless the mind wiu peace and sofu-n the mart with rympathy. Then let us Dot neglect the per form&neo of a duty that cost so little and ccoiip;itlte so tuuch giaid. Iet u remember that aJ thongh at present we may be in our wonted vigor and jiride 4 strength, yet tt e time may come wlr4 we may require ihese atteo tioTisnd L-.tstanee,; ardthen, wd Highest of all in Leareoing 4DSO&UTEE.Y PURE only then, will wo bo able to fully Appreciate tho command of our Ordor visit tho sick and relievo tho (listlCSK'll. Following and practicing these beautiful teachings ol charity, lovo And forbearance. 1 indulge a liopo that when wo all undergo a clou) scrutiny at tho great Court of Assizt in Heaven, when tho books (ball bu opened, and tho balance sheet of our rmdm't struck, that then many weak poinla in our character wid bo covered ovor and hid by tho "Mantle of Charity." Though wo may now and then get weak, and grow wenry in well doing, yet, when tho Recording Angel shall mark down our many faults, incthink our deeds of chari ty, love and forbearance will ascend as iwect inceriso to hi Hngelie face, ami can so tear of pity to full on tho pago of our misdeeds, and blot them out forever. Beginning to Sec It, Tlm Advocates of tho free ami tin limited coinage of silver in this country bolievo that the WAy to get bimetallism in the full sense is to declare for it and lead tho way. Iloraeo Greeley when advocating the resumption of specie payment, said the way to resumo wa to re tuuio. The way to got bimetallism is for this country to lead off ami let other gold standard countries see that wo aro in earnest and de termined to havo it. In this con nection wequoto the following from tho Washington correspondence id tho Richmond Dispatch: Somo of tho deepest students of finance, men who aro exa.rieticedl -.t t r.t "i in mo moneyed operations oi me Treasury, ami of the world, I Atn told, entertain the hope, and havo strong expectations that bimetallism may bo brought alamt by the pres ent free-silver agitation in this coun try. This is tho solution ot the pending problem, which they see. and some of these financial eages, 1 am informed, say that tho result would l more sjajedilv attained if the Democrats should elect the ecxt President and a free silver House ot Representatives. They argue that a poliev which has been so strongly and unceasingly urged by the greatest financiers abroad can not much longer be delayed. If it was established here its adoption would certainly be hastened in F.n rope, if not at once compelled. Mr. Whitney and other of the gold standard adherents, who pro fess to bo bimetallist and anxious to see silver restored as a full money metal, pretended to believe that it was but a question of a short time when the loading commercial na tions would agree to the coinage of silver, when we could throw our mints open to it. When that time would come they couldn't say even approximately but they felt sure it would come and they put in an ap pcrance at Chicago with a pretty strong contingent behind thctn to try to get the convention to straddle on the silver question and echo the St. liouis platform on "international agreement," tie.., and when the ma jority of the convention refused to commit itself to an unmeaning straddle but chose to make a bold, manly declaration that the world might read and understand, these conditional bimctallists went off in high dudgeon and have ever since been working to put a "sonnd money" ticket in the field. Wil mington Star. A Horrible Aftir, A citizen of Rocky Point tell the Wilmington Starthat on last Satur day Mr. Frank Powers nJnwife. ot Pender county, left their two chil dren (one 14 months old and the other 2 year old) at Mr. and Mrs. lyant Mills' house, with the latter" three children, while the old folks went ont to pick dog-tongue. While gone Mr. Milla' tenytarold eon beat the Powers children unmerci fully because thy began crying for their parent, and said when the old folk returned and found one dead and the other at the point of death, that be did it to keep them from crying. It was thonght that the Powers children had also been cut with a knife. The coroner had been sent for, but the result of the was not ascciUined. inquest The crop report for North Car olina are not as favorable as they were r short time ago.
