Gentlemen of the Press Association of I orlh Carolina. I congratulate von thai so many of the brethren have found time ami inclination to lake pari in our annual reunion, bv tar •lie largest number I hate ever seen pres ent on such an occasion. As many of you know, I am one of those .vlio seek to encourage these re unions of the gentlemen of the press and who believe there is a higher and better and more useful end to be subserved by them than the promotion of mere social pleasure alone. It is I rue lliat (he avoin»e editor, being ')i iiid»t 11, iifctU an occasional season ul'rest and recreation. His lied is not entirely a bed of ease, neither is his pathway always shewn Willi flowers. Thorns as well as roses besel his teet as well as others, and io him also coined days of wearying la hor hdlowed by long nights of sleepless CM I'FF. And so if the rest from our toils and the forget fulness of corroding care thai come to lis amid the pleasures of these -ociul reunions Were all the good in them he would be a churl indeed who would begrudge us their lew fleeting moments. IJiit rest and recreation are not all that come to us from SIUJ'I assemblages as this iii which wo are about to take part. Ii .s needless for me in this day and genera tion and in ihis presence to say a word as (o the power et the pi ess. Wnether it be exercised lor weal or woe, the gentle men who constitute the association now belure me carry in their hands a power -ilial overshadowrevery other power ii* the fteitber the bar nor the pul pit nor yet th! hustings has a tithe of the i.ifliti-nce in shaping men's opinions that you have. They occasionally reach the ears ot hundreds witii varying uncertain sounds while Vou constantly reach the e>es of thousands with fixed forms of un muiabailc meaning. But just in' pro portion to the greatness of the powerjs the uccessity tor its intelligent exercise, and hosv can that be belter promoted than by briuuitig the possessors of this great power into such relations HS shall make theui know and appreciate them, each at his true woith. And then meet ing together as we do in different sec tions of*the State how can it happen that we will not thereby become better ac qainlcd with the wants and nc'cssities ot those different sections and thus in time of the whole State? What does the eastern man know ot the railways of the west or the western man & the watery ways of the cast unless hp learn from ac tual travel-? Western editors must know and understand and discuss the griev ances of the people of the cast and Hie remedies proposed therefor and so also must not the editors of the eait bc.igiior am of the wanls jf the people of the west. Let us hopesthen that the time will be far distant when a year will pass without a full gathering of the editorial clans f rom the mountains to the seashore, from the north* border to the southern most limit. Good must come of the re form and nothing but good. Last year we inet at the foot of tlie mountains the lovely Picndiiunt section of the State, a section the beauty ot whose scenery is equalled only by the. sturdy honesty and geneiious hospitality ot its people. This ycai, to-day, this hour we wore to have met not here In 4his popu lous railway center above the tide water, but upon the sea shore and with the beating of the waves ot Ocean sounding iu our ears we were to have conducted our deliberations, but fate ruled far otherwise. Man proposes and God disposes. The hospitable village, the once happy resort of seekers for health, for rest, or for now a desolate wreck strewn beach. But little more than forty-eight hours ago upon its devoted site the storm fiend for a time held high carnival, and with his accursed devouring breath lash ed the waves iii«> iury. Iu an instant al most lionses were swept away, trees torn up bv the roots, and indeed all inanimate things engulphed it* the merciless waves. But auiiiiall that terrible uproar, amid all that flercp din of the warring element?, amid the darkness of that trying hour, the mercy of the great Jehovah, the ever living God who sailh to the winds and lo the waves thuV far shalt thou go and no jartber. shoue round about and every where cutside, ere the shock ot the great disaster could be realized, men's hearts were gladdened bv the intelligence that first greeted their ears that there were "no lives lost." AiuLthough later intellU gonce forces upon us the sad conviction of the gallant deaths ut two noble and devoted men, yet still it is a wonder and a miraole how in that supreme hour of neril —a peril that, not felt, the heart of a man can never conceive, how, in that hour, I say, so many men, so many help- less women, helpless "children, helpless invalids suddenly roused froiii sleep without time even to could be sav ed harmless Iroin the tottering tailing building, against which the billows were beating with fierce appalling fury. | But thank Cod there were brave lienrts i there and strong arm-'. Tlntnk Cod there j were men il.ere to whom death presented Ino terror while giving succor to the ! weak ami helpless. One brave mother j told me thai upon ilie narrow, tottering, (•trembling, frail plank way upon she pa«-ed from the doomed building to j the mainland, fn.-t went the wee toddling I children, next their mothers, and last ol j all t he uii'ii. Thank Cod, sav f. tli.it the. | breed of noble bloods has notched out In North Carolina. Thank Co.l, we Slid have I men and women who prove not recreant in the hour of danger though they may feel the chill breath of death in their very faces. I conf. ss my friends, that Just night as I haard from the lips of the Gov ernor of our State, himself an eye wit ness and participant, a brief acoount ol the heroism displayed in that awful hour j by all there, but especially by the citizens of Beaufort, black ai'id white, North Car i oliuians all, my heart swelled wnli j tude and witlfpride, that 1 100, Was a l citizen ot a State that could boast sn-.h ! heroes. Alter such exhibition ol daring I and devotion and seif sacrifice as thai at j Beuulort, let no one say that the men of out day are inferioi to ihoso oi any forio ,er tune. " But my friends while (here is so much, so very much lo fill our hearts with grati tude to Almighty tiod in thin hour "four re-assembling, tho feeling* that possess me and th-i'. I know possess you, are not untningletf wiili pain. When I remember who sal by mv side when last 1 had the honor to preside over vonr deliberations. 1 can but recall the great loss that we, anil notonlv welhe members ol his chosen profession, but the entire people of the State have met willi in the death of our honored and lamented brother. Joseph Adolphus Engelhard, To me his charac ter and his services both to the profession and to the people of the Slate at large have been a.study as well before his un timely death as 6incc. As ail individual his impulses were kindly, generous and iiojjle, charitable and considerate in his judgements of men, sensitive too and ten der in his feelings as a woman; himself and all that he had was ready always to spend in behalf of his friends or in the discharge of a duty J to his State. llow pleasant and how genial too hi van in his intercourse with us all you cannot tail to remember. As and editor he was Wise, prudent; sagacious far-seeing and endowed in a rare degree with that tare quality known as good judgciyc-ut I'ogs sussed ol literary taste, and culture, his editori.ds were in manner e;»sy and graceful, blessed with a vigorous mind and one well stored, they were full of force and strength, and "with a bosom that knew no fear, he never failed to ex- Jiibit flic courage of his opinions, and yet always courteously, /odeed in him courage and capacity and courtesy were most happily blended. As a citizen he was fcver ready to do his duly whether in peace or in war. After much sludy and careful reflec tion then it is my deliberate opinion tint to no one of the many men who were prominent in the era ot reconstruction does North Carolina owe inore, I will say jw'oed thai lo no one does she owe as much as she does to our dead brother, Joseph Adolphus Etiglehard. Iu the great fight that lasted from September 1860 until November he was always to (lie trout and always doing valliaul battle in behalf of the State lie loved HU well. The character of that eleven years struggle, the fierceness and the bitter ne*s ot it none know but those who pass ed through it. Step Uy step, after year, with fixecP purpose and dcterminalion to wrest the State Irom the hand ot the oppressor. His rule and his inolto *was to tight 'the enemy wherever he could be found. Others might be disposed to temporize if not to .fraternize with the enemy, but iu Engleliard there was never the slightest variableness or shadow of turning from the straight narrow «vay he had marked oat as the path of honor for him&plf and ot safety for the State. Whatever taint others might have upon their records, upon his there was neither spot nor blemish. And to him, perhaps, more than to all others, North Caroliia owes it that she may boast that she ac-. coinplished her redemption from the ac» .cursed thraldom that bound her hand and foot without any truckling, Few States there IK> in this South laud ot ours that can truly boast as much. It is easy enough to be true aud faithful now,when along P«lh rnns the road to place and to preferment, to emdlument aud to lienor. Bat not -o was it daring the eveulful ot which I have spoken. Tueu ** * t lie path to to hoiirtr ro called, was a broad and well beafen one very unlike the rugged one Engleliard trod and many there be who went there*, in. From the beginning of that struggle and through all its varying phasestkll 'lis strivings were for the good ot the Stnte, 'and of the whole Siate. To redeem the State from the 'lnnd ot the oppre-s >r and tonnifv and consolidate its conflicting and antagonistic section? into ha| p., harmonious and pros per®* commtiiiity, was the grciit goal of liis'ambiiion from llie beginning until I lie.contest culminated in tlia crowning liiumph that gave the convention ol 1875, in which lie (vas especially con spicuous as a bold skilllul leader, and thanks to which North Carolinians to day iale North Carolina, To him the effort to .11 ray one section of the Stale against another or to stir up one interest in suite *tigain>t another, seemed but little short ot treason. 1 say then alter mature deliberation ftnd recalling the events of that great struggle, and faith fully and impartially, according to all his comrades, to each his full meed ot mer it, that to our dead brother belongs the chief pre eminence. If the Slate of North Carolina shall bear bis nauio in appropriate remembrance only so long as her children shall enjoy the fruits of his labors in hei be halt, no man could ask higher honor or more lusting fame.

'And all must go? Can nothing be sav ed'r' querulously, questioned Mrs. Ar thur, her hand listlessly folded across her lap. her air betokening utter helpless* nes*, as >he looked pitifully toward the oeautitul girl whom she addressed. '.Nothing, mamma,' answered the lat ter, drawing nearer as she spoke, and kneeling by the other's side, while she laid her tinger%aressingly iipou/ier moth el's pale cheek—'only each other; but papa's death has taught us how much that is. Don't worry, dearest. I hope the sale will enable us lo buy furniture more suitable lo the tew rooms which lor a lime must be our future home, until I can secure some pupils and gel the little home in the country where you are to live, surrounded by birds and flowers, and forget (hat the red llag ever waved from our door.' They were brave words, bravely spoken —so bravely as not to betray ihe effort they cost the speaker. & p, Six moil'lis before Irene Arthur reign ed a be'lo in her father's magnificent home, when, like a thunderbolt lr..in a clear summer sky, came her lather's fail toe and death i.i quick succession, with the lessons experience only teaches, of friends designing in the hour of neetl — little by little learning the necessity I standing alone and seeing hope drilling j fur Hut and liiriher in the distance, until t the present with its absolute emergencies, roused Iter to action. The sina.ll head, set so regally upon the ] slight, sloping shoulders, held itself more ' rcgnHy r jtiil, the red, lull curved lips, ; were pressed more proudly together, as ' Irene buckled on her armor lyr the fr.iv. ! The'hardest part was over now. ller | mother had been told the worst which ; could befall them. She must now iako ! her Iroin this spot, hallowed by memcrv, before the desecrating foot ol strangers entered it. A few d tys search and si o was ieward- ! ed by finding in a quiet house a suit ot I rooms which met at once hei purse and her requirements, in sad contrast to the elegant luxuriance with which she hati | beeii surrounded her liie long, bill where at least, her mother was saved the sight ol the red llig, which seemed to her to be dyed'in Iter heart's blood. 'ls there nothing you would wish to save, Miss Arthur?' questioned a voice at 1 her side the morning o! the sale. She i tu ned haughtily toward the efran* ' ger. bn something in his clear, blue eyes ! bent upon her witnessed the words held I honest meaning. 'I beg your paction, &ir,' she answered unable to disguise wholly the pride these latter days had developed so forcibly— 'l have not tire pleasure of your acquaint ] lnce.' j *ll is lor mo to beg pardou. I torgot I might not be kuowu to you personally, 1 though I am the auctioneer appointed by i the estate. You-lather once did me ft 1 great kindness, and, though 1 would not seem intrusive, I should like very much ! to preserve any article you may desire.' j 'With many thanks, sir, I desire to re- ' ceive in favors,' she replied coldly, and passed on, to take one fleeting look ere she fled to the place she must now leam to call home, to be haunted a'l day by the sound of the auctioneer's hammer and the vcices of strangers desecrating tho halls But when, in the dusk of Ihe evening, a cart slopped before the door, and one by one, articles hallowed by association— her father's ensir, her own desk, her uiottier's favorite pictures—were brought, in, the feelings so long repressed gave way to a burst ot tears. Who hud done (his thing? For one mo-' menl the honest blue eyes that had met; her own thai day roso before her. Rut uo! such delicacy belonged not to their owner's rank in lile. -Nor was itastran> gt-r's work. Some one must have kn?wu her well to have selected the few things it had botu such bitter warelare to part V | with l'hcy were indeed like rid friends sent to comfort her, as, in the. weary days that followed', her eyes would rest upon t.iem in her bitter for the daily necessilies of life for heiscit the luxuries which to her mother had become necessi ties. Business had thrown her more than once with Earl Kenneth, the owner of the blue e>es. There had been nmttCVs connected with tiie sale which compelled her to meet him, unlit he grew to her al most as a friend, and at limes she would forget the social gulf which separated ihem —she, the once wealthy banker's daughter; he, a man wljp had risen iroin Ihe humblest ranks, but whose soul was that of a nobleman. 'flic friends she had once known she no longer kucW« They rode; she walked, and must stand ou the curb to let their carriages it lilt by. Earl's cheery voice and pleasant smile her mother also grtw to welcome, wiili the few choice flowers or the the early fruit he evet laid so quietly in Mrs. "Ar thur's baud,growing daily paler and thin ner. I But one evening, as Jie sat by Irene's 1 side alone, very calmly, very truly, yet with acertain humbleness, he told her that ho loved her, and asked her to become his wile. '1 cannot bear to see yon struggle,' he said. 'Once, as you well know. I could not have asked you to become iny wife, and though 1 have not forgotten, dear. | that 1 am a man who has only honor uml I vet can take you Iroin this Tile of toil, can shield yon with my breast, can toil loi you and yours it you will give mo the precious assurance 1 seek.' k -t-\Vas the man mini? The pride she had forgotten in these quiet months now surged upward as she turned toward him with pale and sparkling eyes. you insuil ino!' *No man insults a woman with his honest love, Miss Arthur,' he answered, the pride in hers bearing Its reflex on Ids tace. '1 loved you—nay, love yon 1 My love you spurn. I can liever ofter it again, Miss Irene; but remember—should ton ever need it, it is always yours, ready lo do for you, to suffer lor you, to die for vou!' ♦ • • • * • • • 'Why does not Earl conce?' questioned the invalid.

If you will drop iu occasion ally to «ee Iter L will be "lad. it cost lie - pride a struggle to send even this: but was it possiole,| it also brought a thrill of something liko pleas ure that she would meet him once more. The weeks had seemed strangely long without him. Why had she thus ans wered him? Of course the thing he ask ed was impossible; cut. ah, how cruelly she had spumed him! . r . Had he forgotten it? She expected some trace cI sorrow on his handsome brow ; but when fie emen d, in obedi ence lo her summons, the liank smile lit up his face as devoting himself to (he invalid, he spoke (o her only when cour tesy required. Somehow, these weeks seemed (o have improved him, too. lie had acquired a polish: or was it only indifference, where love had reigued? j '.Mill early forget,' slio thought, ojid | Willi (lie thought she sighed. | i'lic winter wore to an end, ami slow ]ly tlic invalid grew weaker ami more | weak.

Earl, doting these months, came and J went as of old; but sometimes Irene ask ed herself il his words to lk-r had not i been a dream. Not once did his eyes rest on her will) Ihe old loolfc —not once ditl he hold for a single moment the little fingers within his own! and a sense ot empty disap pointment, none (lie less bilter because unacknowledged, brought lo the proud young eves tnuuy an unshed tear. llut j the bilter sorrow was iu store, as the invalids res', approached mere and inore near, until the angel ot death stopped | ami gathered her to his breast.

'Take her I she said, 1 give her to you!' Then tho eyes closed forever. ) 'Do not mind il; she meant only a* a i brother Irene,' he said, to coinlort. days j alter lo the weeping girl, and Irene wondered she could not as such accept ! iL | So tho weary days in >rgol into weeks tho weeks Into month?, and tho prond young spiril loarned its own bitterness.

Some ol the old friensd bail come t >rward iu this second hcur ot suderiiig * but through ull she missed liiin, and the thought that he learned I forget fulness brought her no comfort. She was thinking ot, him one evening { when he entered. ♦I am going away Miss Irene,' ho said, 'will you bid me God speed?' The old pride sniggled tor mastery against the choking in her slender throu'i but the words she strove to utter refused to coine. j «I have been studying law during these , years of hard w jrk, and atn now abl6 to ; wait for tne practice that will come.
