They not only revive vegetation, but man hood as welL During a drouth every thinking man tightens hi* 1 grip on his purse. After the long drouth of 1845 my grandfather sent his horses to east Tennessee to winter, but now if one section of this great Union fails to make a ciop, the mighty moguls that plough through the bowels of the earth from Maine to Caliiornia, bring bread, the staff of life, to every man's door Our legislature, back in the 'so'B, passed a law against dueling in North Carolina, to stop the flow of blood in time of peace, but it does not seeui to have much effect these days. The smoke of Krnest Hay wood's revolver had hardly blown away from killing poor Ludlow Skinner, before another man is shot down in the city of Raleigh Not inanv months ago a kind mother in Pineville asked the mayor of that town to adopt the curfew law, to drive the boys home at 9 o'clock. I think the mothers of Raleigh had better get their mayor to ring the curfew bell at sunset to keep their girls at home. Israel Helms, Mike Osborne and Archie McLarty asked for no cur few bell to raise their families by. They used the prescription laid down in holy writ, "Spare the rod and spoil the-child." I was once at Howard's Mill. Little Sam Howard, of Vance township, (now deceased) was the miller. A young man stepped in and asked me to play a game of cards. I asked to be excused, for I did not know one card from another. He then asked Sam. He shook his head and said it made his flesh crawl to see a deck of cards. He said one of his school-mates came home with him once, and after supper they retired to the cook house and in there his friend was giving him his first lessou in card playing Some one knocked at the door, and who should come in but his mother! She took hitn by the hand, led him around the house, jerked down a peach tree limb and ever after a deck of cards and a peach tree limb flew to his brain at once. No doubt that good old mother helped Sam to go to heaven. History tells us that the father of Martin Luther was accustomed to inflict on him cruel chastisement aud his mother whip hiiu until the blood came for a mere trifle. Such was the general system of family government in those days. There is no man recorded in the pages of history who did more for the refor mation of the church of Christ than Martin Luther. Not many years ago a prominent clergyman visited the North Carolina petii tentiary and asked an old convict what was the first step of his down fall. He said, "Breaking the Sab bath day." You find a man today who keeps the Sabbath day holy In his family, and yon seldom see his children in strioes or behind prison bars.—Correspondence in Monroe Journal. Yours, Mine, and Ours. A western paper tells a story of a mixed brood of children which reveals the confusion liable to ex ist in certain families. A widower and a widow, each having children, married, and chil dren were subsequently bora to them. The parents agreed much better than the children did. One day a neighbor, going past their place, heard a commotion within out of which rose the voice of the wife, screaming to the bus; band. "Jim! Jim! Hurry out in the yard! Your children and my chil dren are beating the lives out of our children!" The most pleasant and positive cure for indigestion, heartburn and all stomach troubles is Ring's Dys pepsia Tablets.

It was in the Roekv Monti tains of Wyoming, several miles north of Laramine. A visitor was called on to teach a class of boys whose ages varied from 7to 10. The les son of the Sunday before had been about the Good Samaritan. "Now," said the teacher, "which of you boys can tell me about the lesson for last Sunday." Several hands went up. One of the boys was selected. "Tell all you know alwut it," said the teacher. "Well sir," said the boy, "the lesson for last Sunday was aliout the hold-up in Jericho canyon. Dere was a man travelin' and a gang of roughs got up wid im and welted 'iu« one and mighty nigh killed 'im. Then they touch him for his wad and scooted. Here come along a doctor.

Whet less & Company, Rob ersouville, N. C. - BLUE COAT AND GRAY. "If Thine Enemy Thirst, Give Him Drink." 111 1864 several Union and Con federate wounded soldiers lay in a farm house in the Shenandoah Val ley. Mrs. B—, the mother of one of the latter, rode ten miles every day to see her boy, bringing 4uch little comforts as she could. Her house was burned, the plantation ruins, trampled down by the army. One day she carried him some beef tea. Kvcry drop was precious: for it was with great difficulty that she had obtained the lieef from which it wns made. Asshe sat watching her boy sip the steaming, savory broth, her eye caught the eager, hungry look of the man 011 the next cot. He was a Yankee, perhaps one of the very band who had burned her home. She was a bitter secession ist. But she was also a tioble hearted, Christian woman. Her eye stole back to the pale, sunken face, and she remembered the words of the Master, "If thine enemy thirst, give him drink." After a moment's pause, and with pressed lip?, for it required all the moral force she could com maud, she filled the bowl with the broth and put it to his lips, repeat ing to herself the words, "For His sake; for His sake, Idoit " Then she brought fresh water and bathed the soldier's face and hands as gently as if he, too, had been hei son. The next day, when she re turned, he was Rone, having liecn exchanged to the north. Last winter the son of a senatoi from a northern State brought home with him during the Christ mas vacation, a young engineei front Virginia, lie was the onlj living son of Mrs. B—, the IK>\ whom she had nursed having been killed during the latter years of the war. She had struggled foi years to educate this lioy as a civil engineer, and had done it. But without influence he could not ob tain a position, and supported him self by copying. Senator Blank inquired into his i|tialificatious, and fin ling them {ood, soon after secured his ap pointment 011 the staff of engineers ■mployed to construct a certain railway. The senator enclosed with the appointment a lettei to Vfrs. B—, reminding her of tilt farm house on the Shenandoah, ind adding, "I was the wounded man to whom you gave that bowl of broth." The divine principle embodied in this act of the true-hearte! southern mother was never bettei exemplified aud the fruit of it, like those to every obedience to divine law, was a natural result md fulfillment of the promise that "Bread cast upon the waters shall oe found after many days."—Se lect* 1. Wedding Anniversaries. The ol»servance of a diamond wedding, when two people have traveled life's road together foi seventy-five years, has occurred at rare intervals, and has been tin •.übject of national interest. Some times the diamond wedding is celt orated after sixty years of married life. That is incorrect, still it doss happen, as if the aged couple uad small hope* of seeing the real diamond wedding. The golden wedding, a celebra lion of fifty years' happiness, is so frequent an occurrance that it qieaks well for American longevi ty and the domestic peace of our nation. The earlier celebrations— the silver wedding to commemorate 1 twenty-five years of married life, the china wielding for twenty years, the crystal wedding for fif teen years, the tin wedding for ten years, and the wooden weeding for five years—are daily occurrences everywhere. Following are the titles of other wedding anniversaries: F'irst. cot ton; second, paper; third, leather; seventh, woolen; twelfth, silk and fine linen; thirtieth, pearl, and fortieth, ruby.—Good Housekeep ing. Peaceful Spirit Gives Health. Here is some good advice given by it beautiful woman to a girl ad mirer who asked her for iier recipe for remaining "suchan evergreen": "Never work 011 till you are seemingly at vour last gasp, wheth er at your business or your pleas ure, but rest a* you go along. If vou forego rest until your work is done, the chances are that you will the übe too tired lo lake it. tfet all the beauty sleep you can. Re member that late hours are fatal to good looks and health, and don't commit the folly of working far into the night, and then wondering why your work is not done and you feel so good-for-nothing the next day. "Shield your rcrves, and don't let them become too sensitive. Make yourself take life calmly. If you lose a train, don't pace the platform wildly, but inquire when the next comes in, aud sit down calmly to wait for it. That's just what most women don't do; they sit down, perhaps, but they tap the floor with their feet, cinch and uncuich their hands, and are ap parently in a fevtr-heat of excite ment over the arrival of every train that comes in, even though they have been assured that theirs is not due for another half hour. That half-hour of waiting means to them a frightful wear and tear of nerves, and they are practically weeks older tor it. Try to culti vate calmness; but, if you cannot do that all at once, you can keep your face still."-"-London Family Herald. The Simple Life. Much has lieeti said recently-by President Roosevelt and others about the "Simple Life." It.seems worth while to quote the following from a conspicuous advocate of it, a generation ago, R. W. Emerson: "I pray you, O excellent wife, not to cumlier yourself and me to get a rich diiftier for this man 01 this woman who have alighted at our gate, or a bedchamber made ready at too great a cost. These thiiigs they can get for a dollar at any village. "But let this stranger, if he will, in vour looks, in your accent and behavior, read your heart and earn lestness, your thought and will, which he cannot buy at any price in any village or city, aud which he may well travel fifty miles aud dine sparsely and sleep hard in or der to behold. "Certainly let the hoard he spread, and let the bed'tie dressed for the traveler; but let not the em phasis of hospitality lie in these things. Honor to the house where they are simple to the verge of hardship, so that the intellect is awake aud reads the laws of the the universe."—Selected.

WHAT DR. VAN DYKE SAYS The Quality in Which Woman Should Excel. Dr. Henrv Van Dyke discussing ''The Way to Womanhood'' in a series of papers in Harper's Bazar, thus voices his personal views on the subject: "It seems to me," he says, "that woman's excellence (ami I have been using the word always in its proper meaning to denote sut>eri ority), lies in three things—a cer tain fineness and delicacy of physi cal organization and balance; a certain deep and sensitive power of intellectual and moral sympathy, and a certain firm and gentle facul ty of social order mud rule. I be lieve that nature gives the germ and potency of these things, to her more fully aud more richly thau to man at the beginning of life. They fit aud adorn a woman for the place and the privileges which be long to her civilized society. And the course of life the method of training atld education which de velops these things in a girl is the way to womanhood." Dr. Van Dyke thiuks "for most girls the true purpose and the best result of education is not the mas tery of some special branch nor the acquisition of the encyclopedia of learning, but the training of the intelligence and the quickening ol the imagination, so that they shall IK* able to comprehend more clearly and to sympathize more deeply, "They are not going to l>e in ventors 01 discoverers, or lawyers, or philosophers, or chemists, or the ologians —at least not in the major ity of cases. They are going to lie women; aud that means that they will have a special need and use ior the power of thinking iu compan ionship. The man who is intellec tual, who has some hard work of brains to do, or who engaged with some knotty problem of knowledge, does not want a woman to take the place of a lexicon or a library of scientific reference; he wants her to lie a friend to his tailoring; and often bewildered and weary mind; lie wants her to see the meaning ol his effort and to encourage and en lighten it by her sympathy. And the man who is dull and stupid does not want a scornful critic 011 the hearth, or a professor in skirts beside liini; he wants, or at all events he needs, the bright com radesliip, pf • a more thoroughly woman, who will getitlv surprise him out of his dullness and refresh his starved intelligence with the fruits of her thinking and reading —not in the form of solid chunks of infoiillation, hut in the fine cor •lial or listilled wisdom."
