A Young Man's Wild Oats.
So far as a young man "sowing his
wild oats" is concerned, writes Ed
ward W. Bok in some editorials for
young men in the March Ladies'
Journal, it has always seemed a pity
to me that the man who framed that
sentence didn't die before he con
structed it. From the way some
people talk one would imagine that
every man had instilled into him at
his birth a certain amount of deviltry
which he must get rid of belore be
can become a man of honor.
Now what is said about "sowing
wild oats" - is nothing" more nor less
than self-degradation to any voung
man. It doesn't make a man one
particle nlore of a man because he
passed through a siege of riotus liv
ing and indiscretion when he was
nineteen or twenty; it makes him
just so much less of a man.
It dwarts his views of life tar more
than it broadens them. And he re
alizes this afterward. And he doesn't
care one iota more of "life," except a
certain phase of it.which, if it has glit
ter lor him in youth, becomes a repel
lent remembrance to him when he is
matured. There is no such thing as
an investigating period in a man's
life ; at one period it is as important
to him to be honorable and true to
the teachings of his mother as at an
other. No young, man need seek the
"darker side of life." The Lord
knows that it forces itself upon our
attention soon enough. It does not
wait to be sought. A young man
need not be afraid that he will fail to
see it. He will see plenty of it and
without any-seeking on his part,
either.
And even if he does fail he is the
gainer.There are a great many things
which we can accept by inference as
existing in the world. It is not a
liberal education to see them. Too
many young men have a burning
itch to see wickedness not to in
dulge in it, they are quick to ex
plain, but simply to see it. But the
thousands of men who have never
seen it have never felt themselves the
losers. If .anything thev are glad cf
it. . 1 . " : " '
It does not raise a man's ideal to
come into contact with certain Jypes
of manhood or womanhood which
are only removed from the lowest
types of the animal kingdom by vir
tue of the fact that the Creator chose
to have them get through the world
on two legs instead of four. The
loftiest ideal of womanhood that a
young man can form in his impressi
ble days will prove none too high lor
him in his years of maturity. Tq be
true to tne Dest mat is witmn a man
means, above , all, to be an earnest
believer in the best qualities of wo
manhood. Statesville Landmark.

Vance's vigor, determination, wit
and power of repartee soon won him
friends and clients. "Nick" Woodfin
was then the leader of the Buncombe
bar, if not of the bar of all "western
North Carolina at that dpy. He
was an exceedingly able m&fi, and
jealous of his pre-eminence ana5 lead
ership. The young legal fledglings
generally stood in awe of him. But
young Vance, .with an audacity that
appalled all onlookers, won a victory
over him one day.
Vance was engaged as counsel in
a case on - the opposite side from
Woodfin. The .latter got up to ad
dress the jury He was a tall, spare
man, of a most nervous temperament,
high-pitched voice, wild gesticula
tion, sarcastic and sardonic. He
worked himself into a furor in this
instance. The wild waves of his ora
torical anger followed fast and furious
after each othejr, and it seemed as if
the cause of Vance's clients would
be drowned in judicial depths a
thousand fathoms down. Col. Wood
fin fairly sawed the air in the violence
of his gestures. After a protracted
speech he jeft his righteous cause to
the jury.
Then the doomed young lawyer
got up to reply. All eyes were
turned upon him, and he was. the ob
ject ol great chuncks of pity. '
Walking boldly up to the jury, he
struck a Woodfinian attitude and re
tained it. He turned himself into a
kind of Nick Woodfin kaleidoscope.
He never opened his mouth, nor
spoke a work, but continued to re
produce all of Col. Woodfin's distor
ted gestures. He sawed the air, he
writhed, twisted, contorted, and
made grimaces, for the space ot five
minutes or so,, and then sat down,
with a cool confidence that seemed
to say "I have fully answered all my
opponents arguments."
Court and court house were con
vulsed with laughter, and whether he
gained a victory for his client or no,
he gained a great one for himself.

Kriglit Spring DayH.
The spring should be pre-eminently
a season of contentment, happi
ness, and hope. In these bright and
pleasant months the country should
enjoy its highest degree of tranquil
ity and prosperity. But spring, it is
well known, is often a period of dis
comfort and disturbance in the phy
sical system. Important organs of
the body become torpid or irregular
in their action, and the fact is instant
ly reflected in the mental condition of
the individual. A disordered liver
means disordered nerves and a dull
and unsteady brain. Anything which
will bring the physical system into
harmony with budding nature confers
an enormous benefit upon the nation,
besides the mere allaying of physical
comfort. Hood's Sarsaparilla does
this, as thousands of grateful and
happy men
and women can testify,
and increased
use of this standard
spring medicine is of more real prac
tical importance in promoting health
and quiet in the business world than
reams of abstract theorizing.

Winston Sentinel : A serious if
not fatal accident befell Mr. Frank I
Tise, driver for Mr. John Peddycord,
about three o'clock Saturday after
noon. . He was driving a twe-horse
team about four miles north-west of
JVVinston. The wagon was heavily
loaded, having on one cord ol wood.
The accident occurred in the woods.
Tise was walking on the lower side
ot the wagon on a "slant." One
wheel on the upper side struck a
stump, throwing the wagon and en
tire load on the driver. Men at work
in the woods went to the rescue of
Tise. It required several minutes To
remove the wood off of him. It was
at once discovered that his injuries
were serious. Dr. Summers, the at
tending ; physician, says that three
ribs on the left side are broken. He
is also badly hruised on his face and
body.

Those who are disappointed with
Mr. Cleveland's personal legislation,
if his actions as president could be so
termed, should not allow - themselves
to be too severe upon the party.
Mr. Cleveland is only a man after all
and his individual mistakes should
not damage the party at large. - The
Chicago platform has not changed
one iota, nor has the bulk ot the
great party that formulated it. On
this platform the party has won, and
mark our prediction, it will win again.
Taiboro Southerner.
The Mecklenburg Times submits
that it is not fair to judge Ihe Demo
cratic party by the acts of Cleveland,
Ransom, or any other one man. The
House is the best index of Demo
cratic sentiment. It is to the House
we look for a determined effort to
fulfill the promises made in the Chi
cago platform. We do not expect
that it will do all that was promised.
There are enough traitors in it to
prevent that. But it is the best ex
ponent of Democracy in existence,

gang, and their Democratic allies,

A young man living in this city, a
clerk in a store on Fayetteville street,
has had some queer experiencts.
He has shed his skin entirely thir
teen times in twenty-four years, and
each time it has been replaced by a
new skin. Before the shedding the
body turns red and he has symptoms
of scarlett fever. When fourteen
years of age he shed his skin twice
in one month. The change usually
occupies about two weeks. The new
skin replacing the old is usually so
tender that it is impossible for him
to walk on a carpet or rough floor.
At times his finger nails and his hair
have come out, and they have been
replaced by the new in a short time.
He has been able at times to break
the skin in the palm of the hand nnd
blow up the skin of the arm like a
bolloon, showing that it was thor
oughly loose from the new forma
tion. He has with his own hands
removed a piece of skin from a leg
between the kneecap and thigh as
large almost as the front of a vest. -
This may be regarded as a fish
story, but it is vouched for by the
gentleman himself and others as well.
It is a curious case. There is noth
ing remarkable in his appearance
when the shedding season is not on,
and he has very good health all the
time. Progressive Farmer.

DeafneM Cannot be Cured
by local applicationg, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion ot the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its nor
mal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever ; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the mu
cous surfaces. -
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's
