I sec the light of a village Gleam thaough the rain and the mist, And a feeling of sadness comes o'er me That my soul cannot resist A feeling of sadness and longing, That is not akin to pain, And resembles Rorrow only And the mist resembles' rain. Come, read to me some poem, Some simple and heartfelt lay, That shall soothe this restless feeling, And banish the thoughts of day. Nut from the grand old-masters, Not from the bards sublime, Whose distant footsteps echo Through the corridors of Time; For like strains of martial music, Their mighty thoughts suggest Life's endless toil and endeavor; An. I tu-ntpht i long for rest. Read from some humbler poet. Whose songs gashed froin his heart As showers from the clouds of summer Or tears from the eyelids start; Who, through long days of labor, And nights devoid of ease, Still heard in his soul the music Of w onderful melodies. Such songs have the power to quiet The restless pulse of care. And couie like the benediction That follows after prayer. Then read from the treasured volume The poem of thy choice, And lend to the rhyme of the poet The beauty of thy voice. And the night shall be filled with music, And the cares that infest the day &hall fold their tents, Hkc the Arabs, And as silently steal away. " LonjftllowThe Mai. AN ELOaUNT SPEECH. EDITOR GRADY ON UTHE NEW SOUTH.' The First Southerner at the Dinner of the. Neir England Society Thrills His Hearers and Carries Off the Honors What lie Said. The speech of Henry Grady, of the Jjtkmfa Constitution, delivered at the dinner of the New England Society in New York is pronounced to be in many respects the greatest address of the year. He said: Mr. President and Gextlemex: Let me express to you my appreciation of the kindness by which I am permit ted to address yon. I make this abrupt acknowledgement advisedly, for 1 felt that if, when 1 raised my provincial voice in this ancient and august pres ence, I could find courage for no more then the opening sentence, it would be well if, in that sentence, I had met in a rough sense my obligation as a guest and had perished, so to speak, with courtesy on my lips and grace in my heart. Laughter. Permit me through your kindness to catch (&y. second wind, let me say that I appreciate the signifi cance of being the Hrst Southerner to speak at this board, which bears the substuifee, if it surpasses the semblance, of original"" New England hospitality applause and honors a sentiment that in turn honors you, but in which my personality is lost, and the compli ment to people made plain. Laughter. I bespeak the utmost stretch of your courtesy to-night. UI beg that you will bringryour full faith in American fairness add frank ness to a judgment upon what I shall sav. 1 here was an. out preaener once who told some boys of the Bible lesson he was to resul in the morning. The boys, findinurthe place, glued (together the connecting pages, daughter. The next morning he read on the bot torn of one page: When Noah was 120 37ears old he took unto himself a wife, who was then turning the page 140 cubits long flaughter, forty cubits wide, built of gopher wood flaughter. tind covered with pitch inside and out. Long and continued laughter. He wtts naturally puzzled at this. He read it again, vermea it, ana tnen saia : fliy friends, this is the first time I ever met with this in the 13ible, but I aJfiteept it as evidence of the assertion that we are tearfully and wonderfully made. Im mense laughter. If I could get vou to hold such faith tonight I could pro ceed cheerfully to the task 1 otherwise approach with a sense of consecration. PURITAN AND CAVALIER HERE TOGETHER. "Pardon me one word, Mr. President, spoken for the purpose of getting into the volumes that go out annually freighted with the rich eloquence of your speakers the fact the Cavalier, as well as the Puritan, was on this conti nent in its early days, and that he was 'up and able to be about.' Laughter. I nave read your books carefully and I find no mention of that fact, which seems t me important for preserving a sort of historical equilibrium. "With Hie Cavalier once established its a fact in your charming little book, we shall let him work out his own sal vation, as he has always done with en gaging gallantry, and we will hold no controversy as to his merits. Why should we? Neither Puritan nor Cava lier lon.g survived sis such. The virtues and tradition of both happily stilllive for the inspiration of their sons and the saving of the old fashion. Applause. But both Puritan and Cavalier were lost in the storm of their first revolu tion, and the American citizen, sup planting both, and stronger than either, took possession of the Republic bonght by their common blood and fashioned In wisdom, and charged himself with teaching men free government and es tablishing the voice of the people as the voice of God. Applause. Great types like valuable plants, are slow to flower and fruit. But from the union of these colonists, from the straighten ing of their purposes and fhe crossing of their blood, slow perfecting throngh a century, came he who stands as the first typical American, the first who comprehended within himself all the strength and gentleness, all the majes ty and grace of this Republic Abraham Lincoln. Loud and long continued ap plause. He was the sum of Puritan and Cavalier, for in his ardent nature were fused the virtues of both, and in the depth of his great soul the faults of both were lost. Renewed applause. LHe was greater than Puritan, greater than Cavalier, in that he was Ameri can renewed applause and that in his homely form were first gathered the vast and thrilling forces of this ideal government charging it with such tremendous meaning, and so elevating it above human suffering that martyr dom, though infamously aimed, came as a fitting crown to a life consecrated from its cradle to human liberty. Loud and prolonged cheering. Let us, each cherishing his traditions and honoring his fathers, build with reverent hands to the type of this simple but sublime life, In which all types are honored, and in the common glory we shall win as Americans, there will be plenty and to spare for your forefathers and for mine. Renewed cheering. WHAT THE NEW SOUTH MEANS. uln speaking to the toast with which you have honored me, I attribute the term, 'The New South,1 as in no sense disparaging to the Old. Dear to me, sir, is the home of my childhood and the traditions of my people. There is a New South, not through protest against the Old, but because of new conditions, new adjustments and, if you pletise, new ideas and aspirations. It is to this that I address myself. I ask you gentlemen, to picture, if you can, the footsore soldier, who, button ing up in his faded gray jacket the pa role which was taken, testimony to his children of his fidelity and faith, turned his face southward from Appomattox in April. 1863. Think of .him as ragged, half-starved, heavy hearted, enfeebled by want and wounds, having fmight to exhaustion, he sur renders his gun, wrings the hands of his comrades, and, lifting his tear-stained and pallid face for the last lime to the graves that dot the old Virginia hills, and pulls his gray cap over his brow and begins the slow and painful journey. What does he find let me ask you, who went to your homes eager to find aO the welcome you had justly earned, full payment lor your four ears saennce wnat noes ne nnu wueu he reaches the home he left four years before? He finds his house in ruins, hi.-, farm devastated, his slaves freed, his stock killed, his barns empty, his trade destroyed, his money worthless, his social system, feudal in its magnifi cence, swept away, his people without law or legal status, his comrades slain, and the burdens of others heavy on his shoulders. Crushed by defeat, his very traditions gone. Without money, credit, employment, material or train ing, and besides all this, confronted with the gravest problem that ever met human intelligence the establishing of a status for the va.st body of his lilerated slaves. ""What does he do this hero in gray with a heart of gold -does he sit down m sullenness ana despair.-' rot tor a dav. Surelv God. who had scourged bun in his prosperity, inspired him in his adversity. Ajrlruin was never be fore so overwhel ming. never was restora tion swifter. The soldier stepped from the trenches into the furrow: horses that had charged Federal guns marched before the plow, and fields that ran red with human blood in April were green with the harvest in June: women rear ed in luxury cut up their dresses and made breeches for their husbands, and with a patience and heroism that fits woman always as a garment, gave their hands to work. There was little bit terness in all this. Cheerfulness and frankness prevailed. 'Bill Arp1 struck the keynote when he sail; 'Well, I killed as many of them as they did of me, and now 1 am going to work' laughter and applause or the soldier, returning home af ter defeat and rotat ing some corn oil the roadside, who made the remark to his comrades: 'You may leave the South if you want to, but I am going to Sanderville, kiss my wife sind raise a crop, and if the Yankees fool with me any more, I will whip 'em again.1 Renewed laughter. THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN ACCOM PUSHED. ''But what is the sum of our work? We have found out that in the gener al summing up the free negro counts more than he did as ;r slave. We have planted the school-house on the hill-top and made it free to white and black. We ltesve so wen towns and cities in place of theories, .and put busine s above politics. Applause. We have challenged your spinners in Massachusetts and yonr iron makers in Pennsylvania. We have learned that the 9100,000,000 annually receiv ed from our cotton crop will make us rich when the supp ies that nitike it are home rai.ed.

Prolonged applause. vVe have reached the point that marks perfect harmony in every household, when the husband confesses that the pies which his own wife cooks are as good as those his mother used to bake; and we mind that the sun shines as brightly and the moon softly as it did before the war.

SENATOR VANCE AND THE ADMINISTRA TION. From Goldsboro Messenger. Washington, D. C. Jan. 16. The North Carolina delegationyexcept Sena tor Ransom, called upon the President late Friday afternoon. Their purpose was to present to him the request of a large number of citizens that certain officials of the Internal Revenue service in North Carolina should not be retain ed. They protest against the present management as entailing,' if possible, greater hardship, amounting to perse cution, than that unber the former Republican regime, and bringing dis credit and injury to the Democratic party. Senator Vance aclel as the spokesman, and presented the memo rials in behalf of the people. His re marks were well-timed and in his hand somest manner. The President, reply ing, said that the mattershould have his most careful consideration. Whatever wrongs had been or were being brought upon the people of North Carolina through any agency of the United States should be remedied, so far as his power extended. He further stated that he was always glad to hear from the people, and to know their wishes, which could be done by direct communica tion with the people or through their representatives. Ex-Congressman Arm held accompanied the delegation. It is understood here that the rela tions between Senator Vance and the Administration have become personally ! a pleasant, r or a long while the Sena tor was not in what might be called good terms with the President. I have reason to think that a distinguished Representative, or friend of both, ar ranged the rapprochement. Charles Lemar, the new candidate for register of deeds if Matthews is finally refused, is another colored man. He owns several blocks of buildings and is proprietor of a negro paper here. He is also a real estate agent. t it. . . The I arm? Feat of a Young- Confederate Soldier. From Philadelphia Times If tire accounts were written of the many acts of daring and devotion done by privates and men of humble rank on both sides during the war between the States k,I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books." Not the least distinguished of these unnoted heroes was the subject of this sketch, to whose bravery the safe ty of Richmond wtis perhaps in great measure due at the time Gen. Butler attempted the capture of that city in May, 1864. Flitx. Wood, of Yadkin county, N. C, enlisted as a private in the Confederate army before he was tit'teen years of age. At the first battle of Manassas, or Bull Run, he was wounded, and in 1803 he was transferred from Whar ton's N. C. batallion to serve as courier to Brigadier General Hoke. The staff officers of Gen. Hoke, finding that Wood had had no advantages of educa tion and that he was very desirious lo improve himself, taught him to read and write, and a bright pupil he prov ed himself to be. In 18G4, when Hoke was promoted to major-general, Wood was made division scout, a position for which he had proved that he was well Htted, though he was then only eigh teen years old. Sometimes, however, he mside the very unusual error in judgment of capturing to many pris oners. Many were his successful forays upon the Federal outposts, and on-Qe occlusion, when single-handed he had compelled the surrender of nine men and brought them safely into camp, he had to be told that information and not prisoners was what he had lieen sent for, and that however desirable the latter might be the former was of more importance. In May, 1S61, when Gen. Butler landed at Bermuda Hundreds with two army corps, the Confederate forces at Hrst in his front were entirely insuffi cient to resist successfully his march upon Richmond. He advanced to the neighlwirhood of Drury's Bluff and go ing into position extended his left un til it seemed inevitable that he would en velop the right of the Confederate position and get, possession of the roiid to Richmond. This movement it was essential to check. But how? The troops then at hand were not equal to the ti.sk, and to get reinforcements time was necessary. The question was how to get this precious time. Gen. Hoke, who commanded on the Confed erate' right, determined to attempt its Solution by a rose as bold as unusual. Night was not far off and it was felt that if Butler's further movement could be delayed until darkness fell all would be well. Calling up Wood Gen. Hoke explained to him the position fully and asked 'him if he were willing to give his lit, if need be, to save Richmond. Without hesitation the boy for he was hardly more replied that he was. He was then dressed in the uniform of a Federal cavalryman and ordered first to get m some way into the rear of the Federal position and then to ride bold- If, as if coming from the river to Gen SOTa t him that the Confederates were hnd I ing in heavy W on thf jffiSE j on his right and rear. This done, he ! was to riife away, rapidly, as if return- . y' . ing to his post, without waiting to be questioned closely. Wood, havingthor ough knowledge of the country, rode off on his perilous errand. After he had been gone for what seemecka very long time it -was observedT thai the threatening movement of the federals ceased, and it was evident that there was some change beinapmade initheir tJl 11 : i . .1 uiapusuiuu. ouoruy inereaner, to uie surprise of everv one. no one exneatmcr ever t.

Most of the few persons who were aware of what Wood had attempted could not believe that it was possible for him to haye done as he said and to escape unharmed. . But shortly after the close of the war Gen. Hoke met Col. Michie, of Butler's staff, and ask ed if Wood had reported to them as re lated. Col. Michie replied that a cav alryman did ride up to their deadquar ters and made the report statedand that though he was somewhat suipect ed of being -a Confederate spy he was not detained; that the movement to f,heir (Federal) left was arrested until the report could be investigated, and that when it was ascerttiined to be false it was too late to resume the move that For- this and other acts of gallantry uiiu wiis in.i'ie n i oiiinuMuiieu umccg gj0jt f0 indltl re in by President Davis, under authorityyofT?xf j , law providing expressly ror suen cases, out the brave ieilow did not outlive the struggle in which he had borne himself so well. He came to his death near the end of the war through treachery, and he met it with the same fearlessness that had characterized his previous career. After the evacuation of Wilmington in February, 1865, the Confederate forces lay for a short. time on the north of that city. While they were there Wood was sent down the right bank of the main river to obtain information. Scouting around in the neighbor hood of Wilmington, in Brunswick county, he met a citizen who invited him to his house and emphasized the invitation by adding: "some of your i friends are there." - Wood, suspecting j nothing, went with the man, and when j he entered the house found himself con- n i 1 a , i 1 i rrontert by a reaerai lieutenant ana a squad of soldiers, who demanded his immediate surrender. For reply he shot dead the traitor who had betrayed him and eudeavoie! to escape. He was shot down, but not, it was said, until he had killed or disabled several of his assailants. A sad and untimely end for one so young and brave. Modest and unassuming as he was brave, no one would have suspected this quiet, retir ing and rather diffident youth or being the hero he was.
