THE DAILY WORKMAN. I. MICHAUX, Local Edito r A paper for all people, but espe aUy to meet the desire which ma' re kaown to entertain for a non-political Sleet, the Workman will strive to go into every house, leaving to other papers tae science of politics, giving tne news ia brief and Iiolding itself responsible to the moral sense of the community for its utterances. —“A par of license to git married wid,” is the way a certain young dar key delivered himself to the Clerk of the Hustings Court of Danville, ac cording to the Register. Not long after, the same darkey returned, want ing the clerk to take the license back and return him his dollar. He said the ole woman “had done busted de weddin.’* An efTort is to be made at Auburn Theological Seminary to improve the reading of candidates for the ministry. The late H. W. Van Buren bequeath ed to the Seminary the sum of $3 - ooo, the interest to be awarded annu ally to the best reader, or best two readers in each of the three classes. The trial reading is to be from the Bible, Milton and Shakespeare. This is a movement in the right direction. Good reading in the pulpit is almost as important as good speaking. But of all the nauseating stuff that we ever tried to swallow is what is by some people called improved read ing. If Mr. Van Buren's bequest is to be employed in giving undue em phasis to the subject of reading, as though a young man needed nothing but that, and shall encourage the pos turing and eye ball rolling that we have sometimes seen, the good man had better have invested in some oth er line of business. The reading ‘h-n terprise,” as has been said of some of quj^^^hmdustries, “is yet in its in- we might add, is pretty muOTflPf* squalling baby at that. Not that there is no such thing as im proved readings but that the cultiva tion is often a pitiable failure, running into ridiculous extremes of gesture and intonation. More about tlie Pilot. [Concluded.] , W© came down the steep descent from the base of the pinnacle to the spring, where we hope to pic nic on the 30th, in zig-zag lines, with great rapidity and jollity. It required 20 minutes to ascend this space, and five minutes to descend the same. We then made haste slowly down, down to our lodging place at Mr. Culler’s, which we reached weak in our knees, but fall cf enthusiasm and vigor. It is now 8 o’clock, a. m. Four hours is quite a while to wait for breakfast. We arrange our toilet, begin to break our fast at once, but finish much later on._ Nest, we drive to Marion, a vil lage five miles beyond Culler’s, on the railroad, where there is mani fest activity that deserves success, Mr. Marion is building a hotel, as is Mr. Whitaker, for the acoom- modatiou of the traveling and vis iting public. We finished spying out the land. I said to Walter: “We have com^- passed this mountain long enough,’ so we took our departure from Ma rion, still taking observations, till we came to the point where it now seems to us is the nearest approach of the railroad to the stupendous pile—about two or two and a half miles from the summit—on© mile above Caller’s. This, too, is at the point where the beautiful symme try of the mountain appears to the best advantage. It approaches here its most perfect pyramidal form And when small clouds, as they did this afternoon,' float in the air, and their shadows are cast up on the mountain's side, there is an enchanting, fairy-like spectacle pre sented to the charmed beholder, in the interchange of shade and sun- shine. These shadows chase on© and another up, and down, across or athwart the sloping sides like things of beauty, which they are, on the daik, green foliage of this mountain’s autumnal forests. From this point of view, and others, too, w© might quote again from the same author : “All-shadowinj; Pilot! high and lone and cold, Tliou rearest thy I’orni In grandeur, and the llglit Whlcli gilds thy brow at sunset, as of old, Shall be to thee a diadem all bright, Amid the ages distant and untold, _ To guide the'pilgrim’s dim and failing siglit Along the battlement.” O CQ o CD ® o ^CD M p - M O w o9 1 I MCQ t Ho o ui JO ® ^ "m tetri' M CD P (..Week of Praybk.—TheEvangol- ical Alliance has issued from the London ofiSce the invitation for the Week of United and Universal Prayer, for 1888. The following are the topics suggested; Sunday, January lat, Luke xxi. 28; 1 Peter iv : 7. Monday, Jan. 2d, Thanks giving. Tuesday, January 3d, Con fession. Wednesday, January 4th, Prayer for families. Thursday, January 5th, Prayer for the church of God. Friday, January 6th, In- tercessioD|for missions. Saturday, January 7tb, Intercessions lor na tions. Sunday sermons: I. Cor. XV ; 58 In suggesting these topics the note is made that the “subjects are suggested for general adoption, in order that the supplications of the Lord’s people may be of one accord during the week; but the varying eircamstances of different countries where meetings are held may necessitate their amplification or alterations in detail.” I also agree with what my young friend and companion, Walter M., thought about the appeapnee from this point: “ It stands with a won derfully self-complacent air, in its grand sublimity and silent majes ty.” And, inasmuch as the printer ig nored, nninteutionally, no doubt, the effort in my last, to get off a little rhyme about the “hunter’s born” and the “cool September morn,” I will quote a little from good authority, “Coleridge’s Hymn to Mount Blanc,” transferring it, in my imagination, to the Pilot, the Mount Blanc of Stokes ; O dread and silent Mount! I gassed upon thee Till thou, still present to the bodily sense, Didst vanish I'rom my thoughts entranced in praver: I worshipped Invisible alone. Yet, like some sweet, beguiling melody, So sweet we do not know we are listening to it. Thou, the meanwhile, wast blending with my thought, . , Yea, with my life, and life’s own secret joy— Till the dilating soul enwrapt, transfused Into the mighty vision passing there, As in her natural form, swelled vast to heav- op Galloway to a Newspaper Inter viewer.

If there were called a meeting of babies and the young children and the question put to vote “who was their greatest benefactor’’ the loud and unanimous vote would be “Dr. Bull,” for he gave us his wonderful “Baby Syrup.” CHILDREN often need soce safe cathartic and tonic to avert approaching sickness, or to re lieve colic, headache, sick stomach, in digestion, dysentery, and the complaints incident to childhood. Let the child ren take Simmons Liver Regulator and keep well. It is purely vegetable, not unpleasant to the taste and safe to take alone or in connection with other med icine. I ^ .

Thors was both wit and good sense in the young wife who reminded her husband that she was not quite as old as his mother. The bint is a good one to young married peo ple, who too often forget to excuse eaci^other’s imperfections. “How do you like my cooking ?” said a young wife to her husband, “dome, now, give me your honest opinion of it. How does it com pare with your mother’s i" “If you want my honest opinion, I will say vour cooking is very fair, but is not quite equal to mother’s.” “I did not expect it would be equal to your mother’s, but I wish you to remember that your mother had many years experience before you were capable of forming a judgment of her cooking.” “I declare, you are right 1 I never would have thought of that. The point is a good one, and is entirely overlooked by young married men,” And, unfortunately, it isn’t thought of by young wives. The idea of any man saying to a young girl just a year or two out of school, “You can’t cook as well as mother,” or, “You don’t manage as mother,” and never taking into consideration that mother has had an experience of forty or fifty years! Suppose the young wife should turn round and retort, “You’re not half as skillful a workman as my father.”—Boston Courier! —PINE— Tailoring Establishment, GREENSBORO, N. C.
