INVITEDTO COME. HILI. NVB INV1TKS A MII'IIHIAN .MAN Til COME TO NOHTII I AUOI.IXA. A Michigan man who is poor hut hon est, with a wife and one ehild, writes to Hill Xye to euiiiire about a home ill North Carolina, auil in thus uimwered ly the hu morist through tho New York UWit "Come to North Carolina aud you will never regret it. It ix a laud flowing with milk, houey aud tar. It is full of health, eliiuatc and smoking tobaeeo. It wilt do you good to eome here and live till you actually get tired of it. ''It is so extremely conducive to health here that people grow to an enormous height. Kven the preachers grow to he six feet high here. "Kelative to the chances for a poor man in this country, where I now remain, that koing my principal hu-iness, I will sty in a curMiry way that poverty is not regarded as a violation of the statutes herein North Carolina. People have lived here for years in the most abject pitvcrly right un der the nose of the grand jury. So you need not stay .lway on that account. More over, the poor people ul'the North Caroli na mountains are a thousand-fold more contented than the poor people of the North. If a man must be poor all his lite what eat) he of more use to him than con tentment? That is the great difference be tween Northern ami Southern poverty. So come any time. I will be at the depot when you an ivc. Would it annoy you if I were to bring the bund down -to the depot with me? We have a very fair all-round baud here, composed of self-made colored men who play in a chaste and un constrained way that will not frighten you much if you are used to loud snorts of mel ancholy The members of this band have now perfected thcuislvc to sm-h an ex tent that they play right along just as flu ently without their leader, aud while he up ends his horn to pour out the juice they take up the air and carry it along in such a way that you could not miss the the leader, : n 1 lin y embellish all their uiusie and iuipiovise fo much that you Could nut tell what tune they were play- Still, I will do just as you say about having the band down at the depot when you eome.

The other night Johnny and his adored adorableness were seated near yes, very near each other on the sofa watching the embers dose their crimson eyelids in that deep sleep of exhaustion which lovers love so well, for in that hushed reposed the sweetest raptures dwell ami every thought to holier realms goes soaring (Selah) and as they thus sat, dreaming and sighing, and sighing and dreaming, she broke that sweet hush, so tenderly consecrated to heart beatings alone when every vibration was love's own sweet tono, (Selah) and asked him what was tin n:utt pleasant work about a printing office, and he mod estly said, "going to press." And theu sli.- ldusliiii.y' said, the'forui' is ready. And just us he was about to "lock it up" aud press it to his palpitating heart ami swear from it he'd never part, the old man entered with "shooting stick" in hand and "chated" Johnuy to the front door aud helped him out on the toe of his hoot, and remarked, as he came hack, that he did not intend to have such news as that printed iu his house. And the girl, amid her sobs and tears, cried out, "oh, father, I heard that awful kick, aud I am afraid you've broke his heart." "Oh, no," said the father soothingly, "that was not the place I aimed at " And the girl said, "oh, you base, base mau; it is too had, toe bad," and then fled passionately up stairs to weep over the most unpleasant feet-uru of theevening's performance.

A boy waits until the last minute before tac'tling his les-on, and then his teacher tackles him. Orowu ol der, he waits a long lini! b efore selecting a trade or profession and linds himself way behind hit fellows, who caught on early without wailing. Ho courts a girl who suits him every way, but he waits, uud the conseipienee is some other fellow slips in ahead ol him. His habit of waiting in terferes with his business success continu ally. There is a bargain to be had iu the purchase of some property. Instead of embracing the opportunity; as he might, he waits and allot her profits bv it. His insurance runs out, aud iu place of renew ing it immediately, us a prudent man would, he wails, aud then if his house takes lire the ch ines are that he will wait too long to eseape wil limit u soiching. I.earu labor uud to wait may be sound advice siuic cases but not iu all. IMtAISIC Tin: HOY. It often costs ine quite a sttugle to do this simple duty; anil when one does his siuple duty, iu spite of his temptation to do differently, he deserves credit for his doing. On ; has no need to live loug iu this world b.foro finding out this truth. A blight little boy, about two and a half y.'ars old, ree.utly showed that he appre hend d it. He was on the ev of doimr something that was very tempting to him. "Xo, my son; you mustn't do that," said his father. The little fellow looked as if he would like to do it itt spite of his father's proh -bilion; hut he triumphed over his inclina tion, and answered resolutely : All right, papa: I won't do it." There was no issue there, and the father turned to something else The boy waited a minute, and theu said, in a tono of sur prised inquiry : "l'apa, why don't you tell me," "That's a good boy ?" The father took the bint and said an encouraging word. Perhaps some other father may need the same hint, and may profit by tho suggestion. CWkins. E. A.

KKllMON BY HENRY Bl.flt:NT. Life is a probation, and Death is Time's vestibule leading into Kternity. There fore the salvation of the soul is the first and most important thing to which mall should turn his earnest and serious atten tion. It should be the chief aim of exist ence the acme of every endeavor, and the beckoning goal of every aspiration. To attain this consummation there is a pathway, rough and rugged, and each one must tread for himself, fueling, as he goes on ill the fulfillment of life's highest duty, that until the final goal is reached, there is toil without rest, and difficulties without end. Yet, in view of this grand, promi nent, momentous fact, life, in many in stances, is passed aud treated as a mete bubble upon the sea of Time; and hence it is, when the harvest time has come and the reaper is ready, tlurj i little meet for his sickle. Cause one moment, ye busy timing', and think of man, made above all other animals; eudowod with all the facul ties necessary for graspiug the grand problem of life; fashioned and formed and made in the image and likeness of his creator, yet so absorbed with the perishing things of this world, that when heisculhd into the presence chamber of his Maker, the recording angel viewing the long, sad funeral train of wasted opportunities and misspent hours, tearfully writes down in the the fiual decree, "Nothing but leaves." Take if you please the worldly yo ing man, fresh from the barber and ready for the circle of the fair and lovely: look at the spotless purity of his faultless attire; behold the cxiuisitc grace of his charming carriage; but tenderly though, aud sympalhiziiigly too, the delicate post; of the d iinty mustache; inhale, if you can, the lingering odor of the fragrant cloves, as he breathes out bis apt and well chosen quotations; regard him as be struts in so li 'ly the cynosure of attraction, and in (he eyes of hit fond Ophelia the very "glass of fashion and tho mould of form." Ilis deportment may be without fault and his conversation may be pure and chaste, yet if he has lost sight of the grand end o" life, what will death find when it lays its dissecting knife upon his anatomy, 'Nothing but leaves." Take the worldly votinir ladv of society, the blind devotee of fashion: see her as she intcis the jatlur mid dispenses her wealth of smiles upon her courtly train of knightly admirers; the blush, which now imd then, tiugct her cheeks, tells that the iiinctuary of her heart iss'ill pure aud chatte. The stream of conversation which ripples from her lips, tells of culture, of education and re finement. The many little acts of gentle ness, and words of kindness, which mark her daily deportment, tell of a sweet and lovely disposition In fact, speaking after the manner of men, "she is just pirfeclly splendid," and well titled by the charms of head and heart to nieii the tpiein ol home. Yet if she has lost sight of life's highest duty, she too will carry to hir Maker, "Nothing but leaves." Take the adroit and successful politician, who has retched the "full meridian of his glory," hut finds iu his old age that, like Wolsl y, he too has served the Ling of his amlrtio i rather than his liod, and has in his keep- ine. "Xothint! but leaves. And so it is with all classes. The astronomer with his fine airay of discovered worlds above: the geologist with all his subterranean mines of wealth; the warrior, with all his victories mi "dress parade;" the. philoso pher, with his gulden chain of wisdom; the poet, with Ilis limpid lide of songs yea, ull of these may be arrayul in all the "lories of Ibis world and wealing the gar- lauds of isteeui and admiration, entwined by the delicate hands of their "fair ones,' yet if their feet be not shod with the pr. p aratioti of riublei usiiess, they will find when they reach the "other side" that life here lots been a failure. Yes, a fail tire, and what on earth can be saddtr for a dyins: mau. The grim messengi r is al most at their dour-sills; anil looking back upon the misspent lives, there is nothing to coinb rt or strengthen llicui lor the try. u ordeal. ea I Inn is : V, .tliliiK lint leavis. mitt iiti-Diory weaves, No u' I In Iti.ie llie.iHt Ami hs they irtiee tlteir weary wsy.

Dr. B. H. Brodnax, Brodnax, La., says: "I gave Scott's Emulsion to Mrs. C, trou bled with a very severe Bronchial affection. Added to this a birth of a child and sub sequent illness, she was in a very bad con dition. 1 ordered Scott's Emulsion, which she commenced taking, giving at the same time some to the baby, which was very poor, (wight three and one-half pounds.)

Patrick Doylo has a cow on his dairy farm whose life is just now made misera ble by hen's singular attachment for her. For over a year the hen has been an inseparable companion of the cow, and spends all the time when not ou her nest or joinitig the other chickens when they are fed perched on the cow's back. There she rootls at night, whether lint cow may be iu the barn, the barn yard, or the pa. -t ire. The etw doet n it approve of this close eimpaniuiiship, and is always trying to shake the hen off her back or whisk her off with her tail. The hen is always prepared for these attempts, aud when the cow low ers her head and shakes her shoulders the hen trots along her hack beyond the effects of the shaking. ' At times the cow will suddenly start on a dead run around a field or the barn-yard lowering her head, lashing her tail, and bellowing, as if to terrify the hen iutakiug her departure. The result of this utau ccuvreou the part of the eow is, nine times out often, to force its unwelcome compan ion to fly off. The cow is no sooner at rest than the hen steals up aud mounts agaiu to her pe'eh. A famink hki:i:ii:u. A special to the Indianapolis Journal Martinsville says: Henry Flowers, a four t.ten year old boy of Jefferson township, this county, is one of the most peculiar speciuiciis of humanity that has ever conic to light in this section, lie cam." to town last Saturday, as is bis usual custom, aud was taken to the Mansion House of this city by two prominent citizens wh ) bar gained with iht landlord to furnished the boy a squ ire- meal for fifty cents, llicy wishing to satisfy their curiosity as to his abilities as an eater.
