WORTH WHILE.
TIs easy enough to be pleasant,
When life flows along like a song;
But the man worth while is the one
who will smile
When everything goes dead wrong;
Fr the test of the heart is trouble
And it always comes with the years,
But the smile that is worth the praise
of earth
Is the smile that comes through tears.
It is easy enough to be prudent,
.When nothing tempts you to stray;
When without or within no voiceof sin
Is luring your soul away;
But it's only a negative virtue
Until it is tried by fire,
And theJife that is worth the honor of
earth
Is the one that resists desire.
By the cynic, the sad, the fallen',
Who bad no strength for the strife,
The world's highway is cumbered to
day; They make up the item of life,
But the virtue that conquers passion,
And.the sorrow that ends fn a smile
It is these that are worth the homage
of earth,
For we find them but once in a while.

Reflections of a Farmer and Tax
payer. - '
EditorPatkiot: -In a late issue
of your excellent paper I saw an ar
ticle purporting to have been writ
ten by a public school teacher,
which is in line and up to date
with a great many things which
we see in the newspapers of this
age of advancement. The teacher,
it seem?, is not able to see much in
good roads; but by means of his
superior vision, and useful, per
haps long, experience in teaching
the young idea Jiow to shoot" a
great deal in public schools. This
is easily accounted Nfor from the
fact that public, school teachers
as a class have little or no produce
to market, therefore they can stand
off and see the farmer who pays
taxes, as well as the average teach
er, wear out his team, bis wagon,
his patience, and bis vocabulary of
adjectives, in regard to the present
road law, or rather the manner of
its execution, before he can gel to
market over roads did I say
roads? what we have for roads
are by a kind of misnomer called
roads, but in fact they are nothing
but huge gullies full of loose
stones and in winter the mud and
water are belly deep to a horse,
for these gullies miscalled roads
form a part of our county sys
tem of sewerage along which the
water in winter finds a convenient
way of escape. Now tbe'writer is
deeply interested in both roads
and schools, but be cannot stand
idly by and see the teacher push
the road question into the back
ground and speak of the advant
ages derived from public schools
in language which reminds him of
the wonder inspiring advertise
ments of the patent medicine men.
We know that selfishness is a
prominent characteristic of most
men, and it seems the teachers are
tinctured with it as well as other
men. For 'Twas ever thus in na
ture that self attends first and
leaves us last."
Our Public School Teacher
makes a question of Supt. Me
bane'a assertion, which is that too
many teachers think their whole
duty is done when they "teach out
the money." Mr. Mebane sounded
the keynote when he said that.
He hit the nail square upon the
head, and the writer is glad to
know that he is so well informed
in regard to the facts, and believes
he said what is true of nine-tenths
of our teachers ; and he might
have added, in truth, that very
many of those aspiring to be call
ed educators are scarcely able to
reduce one pound English money
to its value in United States dol
lars and cents. And I have known
some of the younger teachers who
did not know which army General
Grant commanded, the Union or
Confederate. Our- Public School
Teacher realizes the fact that the
school funds are small, and what
remedy does he propose? Another
trust ! A teachers' combine. If I
understand him, he proposes to or
ganize the army of school teachers
and bind them by . oaths and by
laws to -the strict observance of
the one all important duty of coax
ing or forcing the taxpayer and
farmer into the belief that it is his
duty to take a little more of the
bread out of his mouth and a little
more of the scanty covering off bis
back and throw it into the school
fund in the phape of local taxa
tion for the school teachers to gob
ble up like all the other trusts and
combines. This , proposed trust is
to prey on nthe taxpayer and far
mer who are already taxed far be
yond the necessaries of govern
ment and his ability to pay, and
are victimized by all other classes
and conditions of men. )
Many of them now plough under
an old slouched and weather beaten
straw hat with bare back and bare
and blistered feet through the hot
clods beneath a blazing August
sun, the pre of gnats, ticks, mos
quitos and horse fies and realize
from it barely enough, at present
prices, to keep eoul and body to
gether. Now, if the vast army of
public school teachers are to be
organized and officered and turned
loose on the farmer and taxpayers1,
I know not how they are to bear up
under this new burden. If the
time honored adage be true that
there is weight in numbers they
will certainly be irresistible indeed
and more to be dreaded than grass
hoppers, chintz bugs, army worms,
or Hessian flies, All men note a
certain peculiar consequential air
about the average school teacher
which is intended to impress peo
ple with the idea of their superi
ority; and they would feign have
you think they stand a full head
and shoulder above even the Chi
nese Confucius, the Persian Zo
roaster, Salem the Greek, or the
Roman Justinian. These giant in
tellects of by gone ages must
dwindle into insignificance beside
our modern intellectual sons of
Anak. Yours correspondent states
that they would all starve if they
were dependent on the paltry sal
aries paid them. Aa a class our
teachers are a set of philanthropic;
patriotic, self-sacrificing people!
But why is there such a scramble
by such a large number each year
for the places in which thev can
only hope to starve? How is it
that they are so easily, induced to
accept the "places if they . really
think the pay is so poor. We often
see it in print that Mr. A. or Miss
B. has decided to accept the public
school at a certain place. Now
when a person runs after a. place
until his tongue hangs out and
finally secures it, then straightens
himself up and announces in a
etiled fashion that he has decide'd
toaccept it, how we blame people
for grinning. If our teacher honf
esty thinks school teaching is a
starving business, would he like to
be made (for life) a disciple of the
plow and root up weeds and tickle
the soil. I trow not. Then if not
why will he advocate higher taxa
tion fpr this overworked and under
fed class?
Let me remind him if ho would
Shine conspicuous there" (in the
educational world) that he must do
so by means of a thoroughly edu-;
cated brain and his own merit and
force of obaracter as did Dr. David
Caldwell in the early history of
Guilford county and as Professors
Hobbs, Holts and Whitsett are do
ing in this age over-worked and
under-paid teachers. The writer
Will suggest to the good people of
Guilford county that, as a defen-j
sive measure, it might be well for
us to devise some measure by which
to reduce our present stock of
teachers. It is absolutely necessary,
in order to make room for the fut
ure output of the mills. He thinks
we can please the most fastidious
teachers that will teach anyway
that is preferred. A story was
once told of a pioneer teacher who
came into a neighborhood to teach
and was asked by one of the pa
trons of his school whether he
taught jhat the world was round or
flat, and he answered that he would
teach either way, just as they pre-!
ferred. It is just possible that
some might be selected from Guil
ford county stock that would teach
as he did that the world was flat
and four-cornered and rested on
four large posts which rested on
nobody can tell what, on that it
rolls orbicular as it was hurled by
the hand of the Creator into space,1
who, on " the morning of creation,
drew the molten mass from the fur
nace of chaos, laid it on the anvil
of eternal purpose, and pommeled
it with the arm of omnipotence,'
and every spark that flew from it
became a world. . I

A Mother Tells How She Sayed Her
. Little Daughter's Life.
I am the mother of eight chil
dren and have had a great deal of
experience with medicines. Last
summer my little daughter bad the;
dysentery in its worst form. Wei
thought she would die. I tried
everything I could think of, but
nothing seemed to do her any good.!
I saw by an advertisementih our!
paper that Chamberlain's Colic,1
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was
highly recommended and sent and
got a bottle at once. It proved to1
be one of the very best medicines
we ever bad in the house. It saved
my little daughter's life. I am
anxious for every-mother to know!
what an excellent medicine it is.
Had I known it at first it would
have saved me a great deal of anx-j
iety and my little daughter much;
suffering. Yours truly, Mrs. Geo
