"Where have you been for a week back?" asked the grocery man of the bad boy, as the boy pulled the tail board out of the delivery wagon and let a couple of bushels of potatoes roll out into the gutter. 'I haven't seen you around here, and you look pale. You haven't been sick, have you?'? "No, 1 have not been sick. Pa locked me up in the bath room for two days and two nights, and didn't give nie nothing to eat but bread and j water. Since he has got religious he seems to be harder than ever on me. Say, do you think religion sof'tens a man's heart, or does it givej him a caked breast! I 'spect Fa 'will burn me at tha stake next." The grocery man said that when a man had truly been con verted his heart was softened, and he was always looking for a chance to do good and be kind to the poor, but if he only had this galvanized religion, this roll plate piety, or whitewashed reformation, he was liable to be a harder citizen than before. "What made your Fa lock you up in the bath room on bread' and wa ter'" he asked. . "Well," says the boy, as he eat a couple ot salt pickles out ot a jar on the sidewalk, "Fa is riot con verted enough to hurt him, and I kuowed it, and I thought it would be a good joke to try him and see if lie was so confounded, good, so I got my chum to dress up in a suit of his sistei's summer clothes. Well, you wouldn't believe my chum would look so much like a girl. He would fool the oldest inhabitant. You know how fat he is. He bad to-sell his bycycle to a slim fellow that clerks in a store, cause heJ didn't want it any more. His neck is just as fat and there are dimples in it, and with a dress low in the neck, and long at the trail he looks as tall as Ma. lie busted one of his sistei's si ipjers getting them on, and her stockings were a good deal too big jbr him, but he tucked his drawers down in them and tied a suspender around his leg above the kuee, and they stayed on all right. Well he looked killin', I should prevaricate, with his sis ter's" muslin' dress onT starched as i stiff as a shirt, and her reception at with a white feather as big as Newfoundland dog's, tail. Ta ie had got to go down town t j some of the old soldiers of i-i if gimeut, and I loafed along be fiiud. My chum met Pa on the coAc and asked him' where the Late Shore Park was. "She" said t ; jfisRe. was a stranger from Chicago, that her husband had deserted her, and she didn't know but she would jump into the lake. Pa looked in my chum's eye and sized her up,, and said-it woi Id be a shaine to commit suicide, and asked if she' didn't want to take a walk,. My chuni sail she should-titter, and he took Fa's arm and they waiked up to the lake and back. ' Well, you may t.iik about joining the church on probation all you please, but they get their arm around a girl all the same. Pa hugged my chum till he says he. thought Pa would break Ins sister's corset all to pieces, and he squeezed iny chum's hand till the ring cut right into his fin ger and he has to wear a coat plas ter on it. They started to the Court House park, as I; told my chum to do, and I w ent and got Ma. It was about time for the soldiers to go to the exposition for the evening bizuess, and I told "31a w e could go down and see them go by. Ma just throwed a shawl over her head and-we started down through the park. When we got uearPaand my ;:hum I told Ma it was a shame for so mauy people to be sitting around lally gagging light before folks, and she said it was disgustin', and then I pointed to my chum who had his bead on Pa's bosom, and Pa was patting my chum on the cheek, while he held his other arm around his waist. They was on the iron seat, and we came right up behind them and when Ma saw Pa's, bald head I thought she -would bust. She knew his head as quick as she sot eyes ou it. My chum asked Pa if he was married, and he said he was a wid ower. He said his wife died four teen years ago, of liver complaint. u en, .ua stiook like a leaf, and I coum near her new teeth rattle just like chewing strawberries with sand iu them. Then my chum put his arm around Pa's neck and said, "If you love me kiss me in the mouth." Pa was just leaning down to kiss my chum when Ma couldn't stand it any longer, and she went right around in frout of tuem, and she grabbed my chum by the hair raid it all came off, hat and all, and my , chum jumped up and Ma scratched him in the face, 'LET ALL THE ESDS THOU AIJI'ST AT, BE TUT COUNTRY'S, THY GOD'S, AXD TRUTHS'. WILSON, NORTH CAROLINA, APRIL 27. 1883. and my chum tried to' get his hands in his pants pocket to get bis handkerchief to wipe off the blood on his nose, and Ma she turn ed on Pa and he turned pale, and then she was going for my chum again when he said, "O let up on a feller," and he see she was mad and he grabbed the hat and hair off the gravel walk and took the ekirt of his sister's dress in bis hand and lifted out for home on a gallop, and Ma took Pa by the elbow and said, "You are. a nice old party, ain't you? I am dead, am If Died of liver complaint fourteen years ago, did I ? You will find an ani mated corpse on your hands. Around kissing spry wimmen at uight, sir." When they started home Pa seemed as weak as a cat, and couldn't say a word, and I asked if I could go to the exposition, and they said I could. I don't know what happened after they got home, but Pa was setting up for me when I got back and he wanted to know what I brought Ma down there for, and how I knew he was there. I thought it would help Pa out of the scrape and so I told him it was not a girl he was hugging at all, but it was my chum, and he laffed at first, and told Ma it was not a girl, but Ma said she knew a dani sight better. She guessed she could tell a girl. Then Pa was mad and he said I was at the bottom of the whole bizi ness, and he locked me up, and said I was enough to paralyze a saint. I told him throuh the key hole that a saint that had any- sense ought to tell a boy from a girl, and then he throwed a chair at me through the transom The worst of the whole thing is my chum is mad at me cause Ma scratched him, and. he says that lets him out. He don't go into any more schemes with me. Well, I must be going. Pa is going to have my measure taken for a raw hide, he says, and I have got to stay at home from the sparing match and learn my Sunday school lesson.'' . Oar Boys and Girls. Why is it that we so often see the boys of a family dissipated and immoral and their sisters not so? Only because the morals of the girls, are scrupulously guarded, but of the ' boys not. Fathers and mothers do not allow their daugh ters to associate with women who use bad language or behave iude ceutly. They want their daughters to be Madies, and they use the means to make them such. But they seem to think the boys can take care of themselves. They are nol; a aj scrapulous as to the com pany they keep.. The girls mus be kept pure even in thought. It is enough for the boys to appear decent in the company of ladies. They hold that a'lady must be pure in act and word and thought, at home as well as abroad in pri vate as well as in public; bjut a gen tleman is one who does not get drunk or swear or behave rudely in company which does not do any of these things. They would be hor rified beyond measure to know that their daughters had gotten into bad company and had behaved as badly as the company they were iu. ' But the same course of con duct by their sons excites but little concern. . ' Can any body tell us why our boys should not be kept as pure and brought up as decently as our girls? Are they not as easily cor rupted, and are not the consequen cesjustas serious! Is there any sound philosphy in having a differ ent moral standard for the two sexes iu the family? Why then should not the boys be 'as carefully sruarded and as stronely armed against vice as the girls ? "Metho. dist Advance." Before Marriage. The sweetheart relation should be guarded very carefully, because when once formed there is such a glamour upon the eyes that they cannot see things as they are. Af ter marriage it is too late. It is a difficult thing for the young lady to believe that the young man of her choice, has bad habits. If any one has the frankness to tell her of them,.she either thinks there is a mistake about it, or that her inform ant is actuated . by malicious mo tivef herbetrothed will now lay them aside.. . Some heroic maidens say, "WelL I will marry him and fhen reform him." There may , be a few cases of reformation, but in nine cases out of ten the young man goes to the dogs and takes the de voted young womau along with him. If she had known at the outset the style of man he was, she would not have suuereu her nearc to be in terested in him; but afterwards she bs not the moral strength to con quer her attachment.

Mr. Talmage selected his text from the 5th chapter of Gallations, a part of the 2nd verse. "Bear ye one anothers burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." Every man for himself. If there be room for only one passenger in the life-boat, get in yourself. If there be a hundred to lift, you supervise while others shoulder it. n opposition to that theory of selfishness, Paul advanced in my text a gospel theory, "Bear ye one anothers' burdens and so fulfill the aw of Christ." Every body has burdens. Sometimes they come down upon the shoulders, some times' they come down upon the head, sometimes they come down upon the heart. Mr. Talmage then related a story of Ellis Appleton, a daughter of Daniel Webster, who though on a bed of great illness, re proved the great lawyer for going but into the cold without an over coat, which caused him to say while in. tears, "Dying, yes to think only of me." Oh ! how much more beau tiful the care of anothers than this everlasting taking care of ourselves.

If it was only Known to what extent they were annoyed? sickened often at the approach of men who wauted complimentary newspaper notices, or of men who demanded newspaper retraction; one day sent to report a funeral, the next day to report a prize faght; a precarious life to his thinking. He spoke of the mechanic, the doe tor and the lawyer in their respect ive order, who should receive eu couragement where they now re ceive abuse. GOVERNOR ALEXANDER STEPHENS a few weejis ago persisted in hav pig business matters brought to his bedside. There was on his table a petition for the pardon of a distin guished criminal, signed by dis tinguished men. There was also on the table a letter from a poor woman' in the penitentiary written and signed by herself. Dying, Alexander Stephens said, "You think because I have been ill so many times I will get well now, but you are. mistaken, I will not recover. Where is -i that letter written by that woman in the peni tentiary! I think she has suffered enough. As near as I can tell she has no friends. Bring me that pa per that I may sign a pardon." A gentleman standing by thought this too great a responsibility for the Governor, said: "Governor, you had better wait until to-morrow." Then the' eye of the old Governor flashed, and he said, "I know what I am about." Putting his sig nature to the pardon, he wrote the last word that be ever wrote, for the pea fell from his dying hand forever. How beautiful his closing hours of life spent in serving one that had no helper. . A Busy Preacher. A clergyman without a vacation is a novel thing in these days, es pecially when the clergyman is pastor of a popular church in a big city like New York. Yet, there is one such in the person of Rev. Dr. Charles F. Deems, of the Church of the Strangers. He never takes any vacation at all, and preaches in his church the whole year round. He says he has never been able to reconcile it with his conscience to shut up his church during the summer months and take his ease though he has no quarrel with his brother ministers who do so, and sometimes half wished that he might make it seem right in his own case. This is no new feeling, but has "been the rule of his life, he - having actually - worked lor nineteen years after he began preaching without any break, and then taken six mouths rest, then worked nineteen more years on a stretch; when he took a' six months rest and visited the noly Land. He is now on his third nineteen years. Dr. Deems is really a remark able man, and his admirable ex ample show in the'close attention he pays his duties, and his unu sual 'conscientiousness concerning them, mignt be effectually followed by many of our leading clergymen, who are in the habit of taking long vacations every year, and who do not give the close attention to their ministerial duties that they should and that they necessarily require. Of course, wo would not wish all ministers to work as hard as Dr. Deems does, or go without a rest for nineteen years. It wonld kill ninety-nine out of every hundred of them. They need rest as well as most other people, and they should have it; but we think that by carefully studying Dr. Deems example most of them could find in it something to guide and help them. Dr. Deems is not eloquent in the ordinary sense of the word, and he is not at all sensational, yet he gathers every Sunday a large congregation in the modest church where Commodore Vanderbilt, who took a great faucy to him, estab lished him and guaranteed him support for life. Ex. Fatal Accident. The northern bound through freight jumped the track Wednes day morning three miles this side of High Point. The train was rounding a curve when a cow was discovered on the track. Breaks were .blowu, but before the speed ot the train xmld be checked it ran over the cow and was derailed. Apprehending the danger of being ditched the1 fireman sprang from the engine and narrowly escaped with hife. Hardly had the fire man leaped when the engine drove into a ditch followed by two box cars. 1'higineer Gayle stood to his post and was crushed to death be tween the cars. When found his body was lying against the steps of ihe engiue, with his head crushed and right arm cut off below the elbow. ' Life was '"extinct. .The news was telegrapeed here to Capt. Smith, who aonee procured the professional services of Drs. C. M. Glenn- and Schenck, and repaired to the scene of the accident by- special train. One of the trainmen Sandy Williams, was seriously in jured about the legs. The remains of engineer Gayles was brought to this plaee alioiit noon to-day and will be sent to Danville, Va., where his", mother., resides.. The deceased was a young man, unmar ried, and was highly esteemed by his associates and employers. Eighteen cars were thrown from the track and some of them consid erably damaged. The track will be cleared as soon as possible, and in the meantime arragements will be made for the transfer of passen gers. "Greensboro Patriot." A Sagacious Dog. Here is a Charlotte dispatch. This morning Mrs. Dunston, of Warwick, Jelt her baby, 18 months old, on the floor of the front room playing with its toys and a little terrier dog. The mother was away just three minutes, but when she returned and opened the door her infant's head, arms and shoulders were hanging beyond the stone sill of an open widow, and near it with its feet on a chair, stood the dog holding on to the child's dress with his teeth. The child uncon scious ofiany danger, was crowing at some objects iu the yard, fifty feet below wnile the dog, holding fast to the dress, looked a mute ap peal for haste and help. When the dog had been relived of his burden, it pranced around the mother and child with delight. "Webster's Weekly," of Reids ville, has the following: Monday's "Patriot" has a long cock and bull story about a Mr. Apple, from that county being assaulted by lour negroes when ui Reidsville a few nights ago, and that he by a super human effort, killed two of them and finally made his escape. The truth of the matter is that Mr. Apple was at a place where no one but a negro should have gone and got a slight "moon" cut over one of his eyes: That was all the blood that was spilt as far as we have heard.

In; the year 1400, Giuevra de Amier, a Florentine beauty, mar ried under pertemal pressure, a man j who had failed to win her heart, that she had given to An tonio. Rondinelli. Soon afterward the plague broke out Jh Florence; Gineyra fell ill apparently succum bed to the malady,' and being pro nounced dead, was the rame lay conveyed to the lamily tomb. Sorne ' ne, however, had blundered in the matter, for in tire middle of the liighfc the entombed bride woke out of her trance, and badly as her living relatives had behaved found her .dead ones still less to her lik ing, and lost no time u quitting the. silent company upon whose quietude she had; unwillingly in truded. Speeding through the sleeptwrapped streets as swii'tiy as her clinging' cerements allowed, Gineyra sought the home from which she had so lately leen borne. Roused from his slumbers by a knocking at the door, the disconso late widower of a day cautiously opened an upper window, and see ing ai shrouded figure . waiting be low, in whose upturned lace herec coguized the lineameufs of the dear departed, he cried. "Go iu peace, blessed spirit," and (shut the window precipitately. With sink ing heart and slackened step the repulsed w ife made her way to her father's door, to revive the like benisou from ber dismayed parent. Then she crawled on to an ' uncle's, j wherp the dooc was iudeed 'opened, but only to be slammed m her face by the frightened nian, who iu his hurry forgot to. bless his ghostly caller. The cool night air peuetra- ted the undress of the hapless wan derer, made her tremble and shiver as shie thought she bad waked to life only to die again iu the cruel streets. "Ah," -she sighed, Anto nio wiould would not- have proved so unkind." This thought naturally stiggtsted tha t itw'as her dm jv to test his loye and courage ; it would be time enough to die if he proved like the rest. The way was long, but hope jreuerved her limbs, and soon Ginevra was knocking timidly at Rondinelli's door. Ho opened it himself,and although startled at the ghostly vision, calmly enquired what the spirit wanted w ith him. Throwing her shrowd away- from her face, Ginevra exclaimed "I am no spirit, Antonio; I am that (liuej vra you once, loved who was buried yesterday buried alive!? and fell senseless into the welcoming arms of her astonished, and delighted lover whose cries for help . soon brought down his sympathising family to hear the wondrous story and bear -its, heroine to bed, ' to bo tenderly -'nursed until she had re covered from the shock, and was beautiful as ever again. Then canto the difficulty. Was Ginevra to return to the bu. ied , her, and man who had shut his door against her, or give herself to the man J who had saved her irom a second death ! With such jtower ful special pleaders as love and gratitute on his side, of course Ron dinelii ' won tjie day, and a pr yate marriage ui ad e tlie lovers amends for pj-evious disappointment.

A GAY SWINDLER. -:o:- HIS OPERATIONS IN CUES TERSOUTU CAROLINA. ARRESTED ASH JAILEIK The recent arrest and exiKwnre of one W. J. McDermoit, president of the Chester, S. CM cotton need oil mill, and the late di.upjearrtnre of one Beuo, president of the," Southern Ore Company, at Yil mingtoit, N.O., ought to. serve as warnings to our people in dealing ' ', with"' perfect strangers to the ex- text of putting their business and ntouey into their hands. McD'i mott turned out to U. u gre.-d scoundrel aud swiudler, according to a letter in the Charleston News and Courier. He- went to Charlotte and tried to get up an oil mill company, representing lit i it -self to be the head of a McmphiN house which manufactures machi nery for oil mills and generously offered to take a large part of stock of the proposed company. Ho gave the most glowiug account of the success of the Chester mill,' which he had supplied with ma chinery at a cost of $23,000, which bad beeu'built under his suitervi sion, and of which he was made president after takiug ?(1,000 of the stock, lie had also previously sup- j plied the machinery of a mill at Uawkiusville, Georgia. The follow- mgextract from the letter in the .. Newn and Courier, above referred to, gives the result of McDcrmott's "enterprise' lu4Chester: After awhile a Mr. Milburii, of Memphis, president of the Mllburu Irou Works, visited Chester aud eutered suit against McDermott for $18,500 duehim on the machi nery with which the.kUAwkiiisvllle and Chester mills had been sup plied. Milburu, it seems, em ployed . McDermott to introduce the ma chinery for him, aud McDermott collected the money aud kept it, representing to the purchasers that he was the real manufacturer. And then it leaked out that the mill, which McDermott had represented as a 20 ton mill, turning out C0 gallons of oil daily, could only turn out 300 gallons a day. He cheated not only Milbnrn but the stock holders who, of course, knew noth ing of oil mills. The stockholders further ascertained that McDer mott had sold them tho machinery at double the market price; that is, its capacity Was half whit was guaranteed. Tho elevator, which McDermott' bought for $27"i, he sold to the company for J7", aud in other details, tho swindle was Ihe same.' The- company re quested McDermott to resign, ami his resignation was to date from midnight on Saturday, the 7th instant, llefore day on Sunday morning a few hours after this the watchman of the mill discov ered McDermott removing the patented valves, without which the oil presses could not le ojerated. He was arrested for this offence, as stated in. the county pajM-rs, ami held for grand larceny, the valves, having been wu-reted and Uilng valued at $100. On the next day (Monday) he was a!o taken with a bail writ for '$2,000 damage. done to the mill. He failed to give bail and was put iu jail, but on the M- lowing day, by budging KocUiities .in the hands of certain gentlemen, ' he succeeded in bailing liiiUM-If and departed forthwith from Ches ter. McDermott" is evidently a thorough rascal. Six days alter he was elected president of the mill he transferred all but one share of his $6,000 in nUn k to a man in Georgia. This twk at a latter day Mr. Milburii endeavored to have 'held for bin debt, and it wa. then discovered that McDermott had outwitted him. When decap itated McDermott essayed revenge ou the company by -(dealing mid destroying the machinery. The . i. r ti.,.i... i.. ..

A young lady friend aks: "How can I tell an editor when 1 see him?" Why, bless your sweet, parkliug eves, it is the easiest thing In the world. You can tell him by his au gust air, by tho perfect lit of his clothing, by bis elegance of manner, and his profound silence when sur rounded by the common Jherd of promiscuous society. - You may recognize him by the way he spends bis money, scattering greenbacks as lavishly as shavings from a planing machine. , He, gen erally drives a double team to a park buggy and makes thing hum. He also keeps setters, pointers and a pet bull-dog with a bruuette nose. He is decked in profusion with the most expensive jewelry, and sports a gold-headed cane with a rose sol taire in the centre.
