only with the intention of building

tho sulonljiiate links thereof.
C. The building of such line is of
inestimable Yuluu to tho State and
Ieople of 2iorth Carolina. It ; can
not tail to add a very large amount
to the taxable values of all the
projerty within a radius of twenty
miles of the road, as well as give
such an imictus to all enterprises
as will enable the people to pay
such increased taxes and within

State on a par witn tne richest

In view of these facts we ask,

all they can to aid us.
Therefore, as president of the

XThe States interest or the evi

company must be authorized to go

Christmas past was a narrow and
self-seeking spirit as compared
with Christmas present. Christmas
past! roused perhaps by the gentle
praise of Irving.made family leasts,
rejoiced the children of the house
hold with gifts, taught tne eiuers
to look back ami sjgh for the boun
eous merry-making of the olden
time: But Christmas present, of
which Dickens was the great
apostle, and for whose coming he
m&de tho way straight, is the spirit
of unselfish kindness. .Every year
the churches are more beautiful,
but the gorgeous fruitage of tho
trees that grow in their vestries is
for the children who would have no
Christmas else.' very-year Jhe
shops are more ' splendid, and
wealth and love give costlier gifts
to their own, but every year, also,
more men and women save some
thing from the sum to be spent on
kin and friend for those who can
claim only the human tie for re
membrance. Every year more rag
ged school-children, and newsboys,
audj boot-blacks, and sufferers in
hospitals, and patient folk in alms
houses, and long hopelosa inmatCa
of asylums and prisons, are remem
bered in kindness, .hvery year
more hard-worked men and women
get the brief holiday for their home
ly uses. Every year there is more
friendliness in the air.
So it seems that the true Christ
mas, like tho kingdom of heaven,
of which, indeed, it is a part, is
within us. It is the hour of chari
table thought and active service.
It is our season of vision, when
eye? are anointed to see how beau
tiful a thing is Happiness, and hp
easy it' is to bestotr it. To moat of
us, indeed, an underlying sadness
must deepen a little by contrast
with the external joy. We 'think
of those past Christmases of our
yoitth, eaclrof which in turn was
to liave seen us great, or rich, or
famous, or noble, or nappy, with
the fulfillment of some desire which
was never to be satisfied. We
think of the friends whose greeting
was: the best of Christmas to ns,
and; whose voices we shall no more
hear. Tilling the children's stock
