Why is it that we Sometimes meet, In journeys througii deserted places, Objects that memory seems to greet From scarcely conscious traces f Through some old homestead's open door Where vines the desolation cover, Impressions we have known before, Arouud us indistiuctly hover.

But words, at best, Aie often brainless, idle things, And bare to thoughts the hollow breast That fools bet my to kings. The brush had drawn the heathered land The lilac clouds and rainy sea.

He knew death was close at hand but with a bravery, and a conscientious re gard foruty, that won the highest ad miration, stood to his engine, applied the air- breaks and met death fearlessly. When the conductor reached thofdy ins hero his first question waaTaboat those : i t ': ' wiiose uvea no ieic were unuer nis cimrgo the balance of his faiuting breath was used in speaking of his wife, and then death came. This was only an engiueer, hence, but little will be said of his heroic end, but he must have beeu a noble aud brave man, and made of material so true that his memory - should be respected by all who hear the story of his sad fate. The company should look after and care for the grief stricken, young wife of seven months, that has been left behind. Dan ville News. Gentle Mothers. I thought I was singing my boy to sleep with the litte ballad of which the above is achorous; but the blue eyes opened, and the quiet voice said, "Mamma aint always gentle." In self-justification I replied "But, you know darling, Mamma has toscoid you when you're naughty." "Yes'em." The argument dropped ; so did the little head upon my bosom. I did not finish the song, nor have I sung it since. Tenderly tucking in the little truth-teller, I reproached myself for deserving his remark, and gently ques tioned the truth of my answer. Do mothers ever have to scold ? Has scolding anv lcint itnatc place iir thif family government? How is the word defined f "Railing with clamor, uttering rebuke in rude and bois terous language." Is this a helpful adjunct to parental authority? Why do Christian parents sometimes scold ? For two reasons, it seems to us. First, for lack of sett-control, from habit Children are often terri bly trying, and lou.l and angry tones seem a safetv-valve for mir stirred tempers. Be sides, we feel that gentleness alone can nev er safely steer the family bark over life's troublous sea. Force, firmness, decision, stcrnnes.4, even severity, are often necessary. A suitable degree of these is not incompati- b!e with sceatlcness. It is not a synonym of weakness. The gentleness that makes one great, comes from subdued strength. I This lovely fruit of the Spirit proves an element of power. The "soft answer." often costs the answerer dearly. Sweetness of spirit is thd outgrowth of self-control. Serenity of soul, whatever be the constitutional charac teristics, comes most frequently from long self-discipline and prayerful struggle Good Words. ' A Boy to the Chief Command. When Gen. Bonaparte first came among us we were furious with the Directorate for having sent a boy to command us. (It should be re membered that at this time Napoleon was only 26 years-of age.) He was a short, awk ward-looking, thin youth, and the Army was seriously discontented with having such a boy placed in the chief command, while Generals like Augerean and Masscna were placed under hiin, but they soon felt the in fluence of the young General's genius in es tablishing order among them ; and after the battle of Monenotte, when Napoleon on the following morning visited the hospitals, and addressed words of encouragement to every wounded soldier, and saw himself that his wounds were dressed and his failing strength revived by Suitable nourishment, a kind jf magic confidence in him came over the spirit of the soldiers, which the subsequent vic tories of Degoand Massemo, following soon after that of Monenotte, kindled into a spirit of enthusiasm. Temple Bar. . A large Prohibition meeting was held in the Second Presbyterian Church on Monday nigh last, and resolutions adopted request ing" our Senator and Representatives in the Legislature to vote for a positive prohibi tory law against the manufacture and sale of alcoholic liquors. Speeches" were made in favor ef the resolutions bynon. R. Y, McAden, Gen. Robt. D. Johnston, Revs. Mr. Whitfield, Bagwell and Griffith. The question can be settled one way or tho other very quickly in this City, by run ning no-license candidates for Mayor and Aldermen at the next election. That's the way to decide the matter, and that's the way to make prohibition infective in the city, without regard to what the Legislature may do. CJtarlotte Democrat. Citow'd Roost. It will bo remembered that last spring immense flocks of crows roosted iu the pines immediately behind the Torrence place, and about a mile from town, y They have shifted their roost to a point a short distauee southwest of the fair grouuds, and in the evening may .be seen flying from the North in incalculable numbers;-; The flight extends from hori zon to horizou. - They do notf fly directly over town, but around it.

Mr. S. A. Smith, who was in the city yesterday, informed us that Eddie Dees, a sou of Edmund Dees, residing near E'.kinsville, Bladen county, was cutting down a tree near the house ' day or two ago, when it lodged against another tree aud the butt thrown suddenly arouud ui such a way as to strike him on the back of the neck, which was broken by force of the blow. Failing to go to his breakfast at the usual time his sister went to look for him, when she dis covered the dead bwly of her unfortunate brother, got it out from under the trunk of the tree with her own hands aud con veyed it home. It is supposed that his death was instantaneous. Deceased was aged about 13 or 14 years. Wilmington Star. Raleigh Ncict-Obxerter : There is, unfort unately, not a" cotton factory in Raleigh, but there are no less than five large planing mills, two foundries, two iboiler manufac tories, and two carriage and buggy manu factories besides other minor industries, employing altogether several hundred work men. There are two of the best book and job printing establishments in the South,aud there are more newspapers and periodicals published here than in any place of equal size in the country. There are no less than four white and five colored colleges and large schools, and no city offers superior educa ti mal advantages. There is"nothing like science for simplici ty of statement. . The metaphysicians are proverbially obscure, but the scientists have no patience with that sort of thing. Thus Professor Tuit, anxious to simplify still furth Mr. Spencer's formula of evolution, puts it Jnto this delightful English : "Evolution is a change from a nohowish, untalkabout ablc all-aiikeness to a somehowish and in general talkaboutable not-all-a likeness by continuous something-elsifications and stick togethernationK.' It is s.uch an advantage to use homely terms. The large pork house of i J. C.

As he was about to U1UJ. The people inhabiting the neigh borhood of Malmaison thought fit to in terpret this natural accident as an evil omen for the Prince Imperial. The tree was seriously- injnred, and every effort was made to save its life, but in vahi. It gradually -withered aud died. Late iu the spring af 1879 the intendantof the chateau gave orders that it should be cut down as well as some other decayed timber defacing the park. On tho first of June accordingly the slutttered Napo leonic tree was felled to the earth j and that very day the gallant Prince Impe rial was slain by Zulu assegais in far-dis tant Africa. He straugely enough, was the last Napoleon who set foot in Maliuai son Park, and the coincidence of his mel aucholy fato with that of the tree planted by his great ancestor was, to say the least of it, a most remarkable fulfilment of a dismal forecast, the offspring of popular superstition. At the Cabinet Council held this morn ing at the Elysic, uudcr tho presidency f M. Grery, General Farre's bill, rela tive to the reorganization of tho army exemption system, was taken into consid eration. The bill, was, with certain modi fications, approved of by the Cabinet. Thus, young meu studying for the Church, who, under the new arrangement, will have to serve one year with the colors, will pass that period iu time of peace iu the military hospitals, instead of actually being under arms. This dispensation is iu accordance with the clause of the bill which attaches these young men to the ambulance corpse in time of war. The Council also suggested that novices of religious institutions intending to adopt the profession of teaching should not be ex-ojpeio. entitled to serve iu the second or one year contingent, but be obliged to produce certificates of successful study, and engage to teach for a period of ten years iu a public school, or iu .one indi cated by the Minister. The War Office has just issued a notice which "will meet with the satisfaction of all patriotic Frenchmen. It has beeu decided to present each regiment iu the service with a picture commemorative of the most striking fact of arms iu its histo ry subsequent to the year 1790. These paintings are to serve as an ornament for the mess or reception rooms of the re spective reginieuts. Iu consequeuce of this excellent decisiou of the War Office General Fane has issued an order to the Generals and Commanding officers in the army to search the archieves of tin corpse under their command, and to fur uish all particulars calculated to fecili- tate the execution of these in teresting works of art.
