" II I I i Since Chapel Hill was Chapel Hill for now ! a century or more past, I Biipjiosc. ilo such spectacle .has shained and 3arkeietl our streets as was to bo seen on Satnaday, 10th inst., when the Sheriff conducted to the county . Jail two young white men raised -among usl and two col ored young men, their accomplices injdaslardly crime. It was a scene to make every man, zealous for the good : name- of the place, hang his head in shame and dismist, and ask himself how can it be? how has it happened ? I, for one, have always been rather proud ot the good and honest, bear? ln of -our! Chapel Hill dcodIc. 'Ot .... t tfce young folks who were raised here with me, of the! set preceding mine, and of the set who have suc ceeded, how few,' how very "few have gone astray, how few even have as the phase is, "done badly" in life. Honest, temperate and indus trious we have seen" our citizens foi the most part orderly, prosperous, .respectable -.and church-going, and -raising their children to be like thcra.' How is it that we stand to "day amazed by the disclosure of villainies and wickedness that would do no discredit to Sodom ? and . what: is the remedy ? What steps --shall -be taken . to prevent a recur rence of such' crimes ? Where does the fault lie? . V 1 .j, Friends, these are serious ques tions, and to be answered 'seriously. There, are plenty, of young boys growing up here for whose future we may well- be alarmed. There are young girls ioo; I intend to write plainly, and appeal to parents by all that they hold dear I sayi it is every '.parent's" duty to make sure. by personal supervision of hefe son ordaughter go; who they associate -with what their habits are. Jt is much easier, of course,! iotake-yoiir child's word, and sit back ' comfortably satisfied that ''your child always tells you the exact truih.n. . - ; Another" thing you ought, to be sure of lan3 that is that you are al ways strictly. truthful yourself. If your childv hears you from time to time indulging' in inaccuracies, exag gerations, and perversions or sup pressions of the truth (and our children are critics ' of such things much sooner than most of us would believe) how can you expect that he will not follow your example ? It is not enough to give good pre cepts, to warn your children against lying, disobedience, bad company, bad habits. You must watch them. 1 once heard a fond mother say in dicruantlv. UDoh hearinir such ad- " Watch my own child as if I lit him a liar or a thief ! No, 1 trust myrxhild, and he i ...a n 1V1IU it. You must watch your children. If you don't be sure the devil is -doing j you. You can and ought to i without their beint; aware of vice; thous never! t it for do it it. Sometimes parents 'feel satisfied if thev know their children have been in the company of their elders : "In Mr. So and So's shop or stoiV ; "ridinjr in old Mr. Such a one's wagon" and so forth. The talk of old folks'is not always suited for young folks' ears ; especially of un godly and -profane "old 'men. A lad can be led to wicked, ways by hear ing jolly, dissolute talk from a gray h aired man even ' more quickly than by his own younj comrades! And the same thing is true of i .... young girls.- Look to your daugh ters, ye mothers, and be sure who they coli verse with, that , their young minds arc. not poisoned with lewd conversation even before' they, are public-spirited course of action r Have we not lived to see j Mordecai advanced in these' very jdays and Hamad disgraced ? ' J ' ' -t Chapel Hill is a "city set on aliill.1 The Sute University is (here, and sends its light far abroad. We vit lagers should be very jealous of the good repute and good influence of the village. Fathers and mothers who send their sons here have al ways hitherto felt secure that there were fewer temptations to profligacy and crime here than in mjst towns.
