Tell me not io mournful numbers
"Life istat an empty dream,"
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they eeem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal.
"Dust thou art, to dust returnest,"
Was not spoken of the soul.
Not enjoyment anchnot sorrow -Is
our destined end or way,
But to act that each tomorrow
FJnds us farther than today.
Art i long, and time Is fleeting,
And our hearts, though stout and
brave, .
Still, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.
In the world's broad field of battle,
In the bivouac f life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle;".
Be a hero in the strife!
Trust no future, however pleasant!
Let the dead past bury its dead!
Act act in the living present !
. Heart within and God o'erread !
Lives of great men all remind us '
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the 6ands of time
Footprints that perhaps another,
Sailing o'er life's solemn main
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.
.
Let us, then, be up and doing.
With a heart for any fate.
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
"The Confederate Wagon."
A friend in Rockingham county
sends us the following lines with
the request that we publish them
for the benefit of the rising gener
ation. This is one of the songs
that inspired the boys of ?61 when
they were preparing to march
against their friends the enemy :
Come all ye sons of freedom and join
our Southern band,
We are going to fight the Yankees and
drive them from our land;
Justice is our motto and providence
our guide, .
So jump into the wagon and we'll all
take a ride.
; chorus: -
Wait for the wagon, the dissolution
wagon; i
The South is the wagon, and we'll all
take a ride. , - .
Secession is our watchword, our rights
we all demand;
To defend our homes and firesides we
pledge our hearts and hands;
Jeff Davis is our president, with
..Stephens by his side,
GreatJBeauregard our general and he'll
join us in the ride.
The invading tribe called Yankee?,
with Lincoln for their guide,
Tried to keep Kentucky from joining
in the ride,
But she heeded not their entreaties,
she has come into the ring,
She wouldn't fight for a government
where cotton wasn't king.
Old Lincoln and his congressmen, with
Seward by bis side,
Put old Scott in the wagon just for to
take a ride;
McDowell was the driver; to cross Bull
Run he tried,
But there be left the wagon for Beaure
gard to ride.
Manassas was the battle ground, the
field was fair and wide;
The Yankees thought they'd whip us
out and on to Richmond ride,
But when they met our Dixie boys
their danger they espied; "
They wheeled about for Washington,
and didn't want to ride.
Brave Beauregard, God bless him, safd
legions in his stead, -While
Johnson seized the colors and
waved them o'er his head.
To rising generations with pleasure
we will tell,
How bravely our Fisher and gallant
Johnson fell.
A Rural Court Scene.
- A couple applied to a rural Jus
tice of the Peace for total divorce.
The Justice called the baliff aside
and asked in a whisper:
"What's the law on that p'int?"
"You can't do it," replied the
baliff, "it don't come under yer jur
isdiction." "We're willin'- to pay cash fer
it," replied the husband, not un
derstanding the nature of the con
sultation. "I've got the money in
this here 8tockinVr
The Justice looked grave. Then,
adjusting his spectacles and ad
dressing the man, said i
"You knowed 'fore you come
here that 'twarn't fer me ter sepa
rate husband an wife, an yet, you
not only take up the time o' this
here valuable court with yer talk-
in', but ackchullyperpose ter bribe
me with money! Now, how much
has you got in that stockln'r"
"'Boutsix dollars an' a half,
yer honor."
"All right then. I fine you $5
for bribery an? a dollar an' a half
fer takin' up my time with a caee
what my jurisdiction is out of, an'
may theXord have mercy on yer
soul!" . - ' :
Queer Legal Proceeding.
A legal proceeding lately occur
red in Vance township that de
serves to go down in the books,
and we hereby fork it over to pos
terity as a valuable precedent. A
man moved out of a neighborhood,
leaving his dog in the possession
of a neighbor. The canine made
it a business to disturb, the peace
of the community, whereupon some
one indicted the neighbor for keep
ing a nuisance. In the trial be
fore the magistrate, it appearing
that the dog did not actually be
long to the man who was keeping
it, the court discharged the man
and issued a warrant against the
dog, setting a day for trial and no
tifying the owner to be present and
defend bis dog. The day set for
trial came around all right, and all
the parties to the case were on
hand. The court, as prosecutor,
told of the bad things thedogi was
charged with doing, and in his de
fense, his owner stated that while
the dog would bite, he always staicl
at home and attended to his own
business and only bit when he was
to
bothered.

Monroe Journal.
Sunset at the Equator.
The days and nights are of equal
length. The Bun knocks off prompt
ly at six o'clock in the evening and
gets up at six in the morning with
equal regularity the whole year
around. There is no twilight, no
gloaming, no interval whatever be
tween daylight and dark only a
brilliant illumination, the sudden
disappearance of a red ball into a
blue ocean, a spread of flame color
over all the western sky for a few
minutes and a purple haze in the
east. Mm
Then the surface of the ocean,
like the heavens, is lighted with
millions of strange and shifting
stars, for the water is so impreg
nated with phosphorus that each
tiny wave is tipped with light,1 and
the foam that follows in the wake
of the vessel is often like a stream
of fire. Sometimes vou cam see
porpoises swimming along the bow
of the vessel livid with phosphor
escent light and followed by a
streak of sparks like a comet's
tail. The southern cross, with the
right arm tipped out at proper an
gle, lies straight ahead, in the
midst of myriads of unknown
worlds that look strange to those
accustomed to the northern con
stellations. Under the left arm is
a large black spot in the heavens,
brightened by only a single modest
star, which the sailors call "the
the
early
devil's dinner bag." Over
stern of the vessel ,in the
evening you can plainly distin
guish the familiar constellation of
the "great bear," but it goes to bed
with the children. j j j
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 had the
dysentery in its worst form. We
thought she would die. I ' tried
everything I could think of, but
nothing seemed to do her any good.
I saw by an advertisement in bur
paper that Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was
highly recommended and sent l and
got a bottle at once. It proved to
be one of the very best medicines
we ever had 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
iety and my little daughter much
suffering. lours -truly, Mrs.

CHOOSE. YODR DRUGGIST CAREFULLY.
A druggist can o more harm cr good than
most people give hira credit for. There are dif
ferent qualities in drugs just as there are in dry
goods, and to the outsider all qualities go by the
same name The difference between pure, high
grade drugs and cheap, inferior drugs of the
Bame name, means the difference between keep
ing sick and getting weU. When a doctor writes
a prescription, he means best quality. When
some druggists fill a prescription; they think
onlr about big profits. - ' . -
Choose your druggist carefully.
