To us the world seems wrapt in rUkwh,
There's sad:eu in eVei"y place :
Since now, the cold and silent toaib
I h id? n your precious face.
O, we were once happy hand.
Of brothers and slater , nine ;
And by our loring fHtremu' hand.
Our liTee were made sublime.
We wandered o'er the wodland's gree
In Spring's sweet dreamy weather ;
We gathered flowers of biightest sheen,
And with them crowned each other.
We pa up with the birds the whole day long.
In ju-in wa had no part;
But now if we in. cur merriest seng
Jftist coTer'an aehingLrart.
In gladness dawned the summer mora.
When we. with nimble feet.
Could search the fields of waving corn
For the melons nch ani sweet.
v e loved to pKy. op work instead ;
To kr it, to hoe or to hul ;
For health we had. and nr cheeks were red
As the rose that bloomed on the wall.
We longed for the dear ati tnmnal days.
When off to the "DUtrict School,"
We hunted for nuts in the little by-ways.
And splashed in thebr-joklcts cool.
He played in the eboweri of tailing leaves.
Of red and a brownish blue ;
And filled our aprons, pockets and sleeves.
With fruits of the richtfet hue.
We laughed at the whistle of the grim ITiiiter
King." Tilth his icieled bands to bind us ;
We all nestled wndet lov j's sheltering wing
And an unbroken ohaia entwined we.
We watched the spotless smew -flakes fall
'Like drops of Hea:ily lova.
That were sent, we thought, to please us all,
By the angel hand above.
T was yow dear brother, the leesWane there.
As we placed in the long, broad hall.
Who halloed "safe." when high on the stair
And joined in the shoe ts of us all.
But the years passed on we older grew
Our he pes were bright as the dawn ;
How trnr your words. "If we only knew,"
But a Co .' tAeae iay ara gone.
Sweet nausic filled that beautiful hone,
I hear the dear strains to-night
From "memory fcells." they faintly come,
O. make th-;m clear and bright.
Those halcyon days are as sweet te me
As the "honey dews" of Heaven ;
But our denrttt hopes mw buried be.
And the strongest tics be riven.
The love-Bsarked hand of a fam'lydear
Was then a joy nnbrel:en :
But the morning's smile is the evening's tear
And hap i a woe unpoken.
Like the "fairy din" of blisses sweet.
Our pleasures bloom and die:
To-day. loved ones in joy we greet.
T -morrow, we say " Irood-bye.'
Our sorrows bern in thfr year sixty-seven
Our lives had bloomed as day.
When an ang-1 stepped from the gates of
Heaven.
And took our first darlinsr away.
But the "Healer was th;re," and mended the
eha"n
With a cement of comforting gree ;
But in seventy-four He h- okeit amin.
And gave anether ievrel a place.
And new e"'ffhty-five ie another sad year.
To me. 'tis the saddest of all.
fh mre is taken the youngest dear.
And Tf left waitutir a call.
O mv we le rfJv. trinwi'shantlv o.
With lanT all bnrniti and trim.
For no sadder Word rvi any hart lnow
Than these: "It raiht have been."
-'Vs. three months ago. I was thinking one
jlsT.
Of brirbt hannv me tin In store.
When JsTr wonld come. and alone we'd stray.
To dram of the sweet day of yere.
nt a fewv passed, and a message was

And in baste, with a heart fnll of sadne I

B t only one week conld abide.
His love-lit eyes were b?dimed with pain.
And his TJcid brow was thin.
But hoTe. like a "tar. sne ont again.
For he had no fever tben.
I waicbd the exTresies of his denr face,"
Tn the few short days T was nieh.
Of mv tesrs. T endeavored to hide every trace.
And kissed him a eheiful "Oood bye."
Then I went to mv horns manv miles away.
With a heart of aniiftv and fear.
And T prayed to the Ti d by niht and by day.
To spare ns niiT brother so dear.
But we know that TT9 ways are past finding

.That he mleth all things for the best.
-And while there were weepings and wailing

Wnere wy dear, aged ptfrents in tears stood

And in sorrew. his lusbe and yeuagwife.
The an eel had passed, our darlin as gone
w, infmed but the tnemant of clay.
His spirit to a worldof beauty had flown.
With seiaphs and lyrists to stray.
To the dear ones rout d, h'd whispered

And sung them a parting hymn :
He said that his hopes were centered n high.
And hit lamp was hnrning and trim.

ANOTHER FRAtJS EXPOSED.
Prf(f) Cliaa. J- F. 31. TTte1ftd.
The last Weeks Bml contains thu follow
ing relative to the above named "dead-be-it."
"During the latter part of last Decem
ber, a gentlemanly descendant ol Ham,
traveling under the above name, came into
our office and informed ns that he was go
ing to start a colored High .School in our
town, and desired us to do some job work
for him. JVe received his order and ex
ecu ted the Work. He Tave us security
for a portion which we hope to receive.
He called for the rest, promising to pay
us the next morning, since which time we
have not seen or heard anything of the
"black buxtard."' The following is a very
accurate discription of this dark fraud and
dead beat: Ho is about five and a half
feet high; bead resembling a squash; hair
like a sheep's wool full of kirkle burrughs;
eyes like the head light of sn engine; ears
like Balam's mule; nose like a mashed to
mate; mouth like a ham with a slice cut
out; arms like billiard cues; Tegs like cro
quet wicktts, and feet like tan-yard vats
He gave an order tor some black-boards,
which he failed to call for; jumped his
board and several other bills; and to make
a leng story short he played hades and
'skipped by the light of the moon." We
warn our brethren of the press and the
puMic to beware of this "tar-baby." for
he is a scoundrel of the first water. This
is no joke.
Whitted is now teaching school in this
town; about a month or six weeks ago he
came into the Hkua&O office and wanfed
a large lot of job work done,- but having
heard ot him, we informed him when the
work was paid for in advance his wants
would be complied with and not until then;
he left our office and has net been back
since. We wara our people against this
"fraud."
Iattin experiences.
Hiram Camcroa, Furniture Dealor of
Columbus, Ga., telja his experience thar
"For three years have tried every remedy
on the market f r Stomach and Kidney
Disorders; but got no relief, until I used
Eleetrk Bitters. Took five bott'es and
am new cured and think Electrio Bitter?
the Best Blood Purifier in the world."
Major A. B. Reed, of West Liberty, Ky..
used Electric Bitters for an old standing
Kidney affection and says: "Nothing has
ever done me so much good as Electric
Bitters.

1 1- ke thw method ot Warning the school
coromittemen of Johnston County and the
public generally against an imposition, if
not a humbug, that is being cast upon
them by a man who calls himself Professor
Hand ford, a slight of hand performer.
He is traversing this county and ad
joining counties holding his show in pub-
lie school bouses, kitchens, and probablv
deserted tenant houses.
His pcrforaaanee is a farce, and he is a
drunken, profane, vulgar, unprincipled
villiao, and should not be pa reused by
respectable people. The publii school
committeemen, for their children's sake
and for the sake ot common decency,
should not allow him to hold his show ia
their fchoo! houses. He claims, I suppose
that he slaows in the interest of some
ehairitable institutkmjbut I think he works
in the interest of barroom-keepers, at any
rate, they get the most of hi money.

If affords me much pleasure to drop tfte
readers of your valuable paper a short note
of the close of J W ' Wood's school, at
Wood's Grove, tbe Slat of January, 188$.
There were many things to be enjoyed t
the close of Mr. Wood's school I congtU
vlatehiof and the patrons of "the school tn
taking so taaeli interest in the cause of ed
ucation. The morning exercises consisted
ot spoiling matches, which was very much
enjoyed. The evening exercises was well
adorned by many fine specche and dia
logues. The ' speakers acquit ed tbemselVae
well - :
" The exercises closed at 3:30 pi"ia.; thero
Were many prosaiaent teachers present;
an invitation was given 'thenvby the tach
er to tsake'a fubJie address upon ' educa
tion. RansoB A Hen was the - first to be
called on. Mr. Allen mad i a speech that
should not be forgotten by the young men
whose ambition is to become &tt orator.
His subject was that of education. He vas
followed by many others with pointed
talk.
Mr. Wood, the teacher, was then called
on for a speech. He discussed the im
provements and progress of many inven
tions which are folded cauteries to many,
eivilixxl people.
Al night the young people met at Mr.
Ashley Black man's, where they enjoyed a
dance. Much success to the Hksald.

Mr. Editor:
If you Trill allow me a short space in
your most excellent paper I will tell yoor
many readers what a nice time we had at
the elose of our public school in district
No. 74. The school was called in at 8
o'clock, a. m., and went through the ex
amination of the scholars, which lasted
until 1 p. m., then the good things came
fourth; after all th patrons of the school
had met there with a nice basket filled
with good things and all ate to their fill,
notwithstanding there was a large crowd to
eat, to see what was lct it would make
one think of the parable of Christ with
the three loafs of bread and fire little
fishes All the patrons of the school ex
pressed themselves as being well pleased
with the way that Mr. A. T. Grimes had
taught tVa school and at the progress that
the children had made, and was delighted
at the way that the day had passed off.
Certainly Mr. Grimes works hard to
give satisfaction in his school and for the
good name which ' he deserves. He is
a young man with more than ordinary
ability; he was then called on to make a
speech by the committeemen, to which he
responded, making a shor; but practicable
talk, trying to impress on the minds of his
scholar? the benefit of an education and
ta be useful men and women.
In closeing bit remark he kindly thank
ed the patrons of the school fer the respect
they had shown tewards him through his
scheol. I will close for fear of tresspass
tng on your columns.

The tTnsettled Question. '
Mtth&t Adtanc. .
Thettecretof many a Christian's unrest
is found in the divide(atate of, his heart.
He i careful and troubled about many
things. He really ioves the world while
he ia trying to love God. Hew really serv
ing mammon while be ia saying, I ought
to serve God. He has adapted himself to
the laws of business and the customs of
axsety. Wtln lb staB conform to these
is with him a settled question Here there
is no longer any friction between desire
and duty. He never thinks of putting him
self in conflict with these. But whether
ke shall conform ta tfclaWs of God is still
an open question. IKe soys I ought to do
so and so, and in his best moments he is
almost persuaded to do so, but if he dors
he samt break with mammon, for God will
be eniprerae. He has only mads up his
mind to partial conformity U God. No
Hsatter how little Is civen to God. mam
mon,' "greedy numnson, will encroach upoD
it. He has determined to discharge some
of his duties to God. . But mammon inter
feres immediately with these. If he un
dertakes to pray mammon contra in and
spoils it, and he feela afterward that he has
miserably mocked the Almighty.
' If he undertakes to read the' Word of
God, mammon steps iu and diverts his at
tention to some business transaction which
effectually prevents any profitable medita
tion. If he determines to give to the Lord
according as he has prospered, the god of
this World interposes a caution reminding
him of an actual or probable loss which he
has already sustained, and which Provi
dence :s not likely to make good so far as a
man can see. If he gives it has to be
wrung aut of Mm, and he never feels the
sweet satisfaction of the cheerful giver. So
ia everything his heart is divided.
"A double-minded man is unstable in
all his ways." He is always pendulating
between God and mammon. He cannot
serve both, and he serves neither. He will
not consent absolutely to turn bis back on
God nor will he set his face toward him.
He is really trying to look in two oppo
site directions at the same moment and
does neither, but spends his time in con
tinually facing about. What is this but a
state of unrest, and to what is it due but
a want of settled purpose to b the servant
of God.
"Choose ye this day whom you will
serve.' Let that be a settled question
Let the heart be once for all solid peace and
rest.
And this L what constitutes the real
Christian: the settled purpose to be a
servant of God, together with the execu
tion of that purpose in beginning at once
to render obedience to his will. No more
certainly will the rays of the morning sun
kiss the mountains and hills when they
are turned to the east, than peace, joy. and
love ill come to the soul when it thus
turns to God. There is no mystery in this
so far as we are concerned. It ia a plain
matter of resolve and execution. The
mj'stcry lies, not ia what God proposes to
do for us. About that we need not per
plex our minds. We shall never compre
hend it, but it is not necessary that we
should. That is God's work, net ours.
How and when he means to do his work
we need not inquire. That he will do it
in due time we are assured, and we may
test this assurance by doing what is plain
ly our duty. The suggestion that we are
not good enough to be the servants of God
is deceptive. Ot course we are not. But
our duty is not conditioned on our good
ness. The worse we are the more we owe
to God.
