A naturalist one day was studying a cocoon, in which a hi.it tertly was strufjeJiiiK to he free. He heard it healing against the ! sides of its little prison, and his heart went out in pity for (he help-' less creature. Taking a liny lan cet he cut away the fragile walls, and released the little captive. Hut to his amazement it was not the beautiful creature he had expected to see. It lay struggling upon the ; table unable to walk, unable to fly, a helpless, unlovely object. In 1 place of the gorgeously covered , ' wings he had expected to see were : weak, shriveled members. VChat was the matter with this creature which should have been so fair? j The prison gates had been opened , too soon; the obstacle had been re- j ; moved before the struggler had i developed sufficiently through the i struggling to be ready for its glo-1 I rious flight into the sunshiny skies i and among the perfumed flowers, j j O God, when the walls seem to be close about us, when we siruggle . and agonize lo be free, when thou , dost not cut away the barriers, is ; il not because in thy infinite wis ! dom thou dost see that we are I weak, and dost want us to become 1 ' strong? Then, at last, when the ! struggle is finished, like the butter- j fly, we may come forth, not per haps in glorious robes of splendid ' colors as it is, but in the everlast ing robes of the righteous.

De little nigger chillun was a-settin' in line, En gazing up at her ez ef dee thought she's pow'ful fine. She learned 'em how ter read and write, en how to talk big dick, l:n spelling-book en iogerfy, en all 'bout 'rithmetic ; Kn den dee swung derhans about, en stomped upon de Ho; She called it cally-sump'n, en said 'twould make 'em grow. "La! liphram, how de times is changed fum fifty years ago; Dar wan't no sich thing ez cullud teachers den fer sho, F.n pickaninnies neber see de inside uv a book. 'Cepi Sundays, when de mistiss read 'bout how de Lord done took De nigger ell de while folks bole, funi nut de mire en clay, Ln sol 'em on de Rock of Ages. Man! dat was de day Fer white and black lersei en res' en eat the chicken-pie, I-'er we all's marster b'lieved in keepin' Sunday low en hi'-tli. "But Monday morirn' was de lime when marster Mowed de horn; It wan't no use ter shel yer yeahs, fer wen dat horn did soun' 'Twas 'nuft'ter m.ik' a dead man iunipand ri up out de groun'. All day we worked, 'dout givin' uv de sweat de tune ler dry; De loafin' coon's de very one ole marster gwine ter spy, Ln ef der's one a layin' round en shirkin' of his row, I Dat's iest de ve'y feller dat his eye gwine light on, sho. "Bui w'en de sun had hid his face behine de golden wes', ' De day's work done en supper over, den we lowed tu rest'; Ln have ies' all de fun we want, out de banjo come, Ln cross-eyed Pete he sho could pick de strings en mek her hum, , Whilst all de pootty gals was dancin' up en down de Ho', Kn de boys a patiin' Juba 'iwell dee couldn't pal no mo', De cullud mammies settin' ginst de wall, en ev'yone A-holdin' uv her fat ole sides en latin at de tun. "But, Lawd! de times is change; dem happy happy days has gone ter stay; Ole marster, en ole mistiss too, has long since passed away. Dar ain't no ole-time niggers let", en every cullud man Is eatchin' fer ter git ez close ter w'ite folks ez he can. But dat ain't me. 1 knows my place, an' dar I hopes ter stay, En have myself accordin', 'twell my soul is called away, Tu meet ole miss en marster in de mansions uv de bles', Vharde wicked cease from troublin' en de weary is at res'. "Don't talk to me about yer rights en w'at yer strivin' for; De w'ite man's done a good part by de nigger since de war; I may be ole en hine de times, but den 1 bin't no fool I knows de w'ite man pays de lax, de nigger gits de school." THE LADDER If you wish to climb the ladder of success so high and grand, Do not falter or be troubled at the trials on every hand. Do not think because one time you have failed to make o'uV mark, That your life is all a failure, that you have on earth no part, ho not think because you have fallen in the thickest of the fray, That your ett'orts are all wasted; you will win success some day. If you w ish to lead a brave band forth for freedom and for right, ho not think your plan is worthless when you journey home at night. ho not think but what your failure does of good its tiny part, ho not think but what your ell'ort may have cheered some lonely heart; Do not think your nine is wasted, But cheer ye up ! be doing ! you If you wish to write a happy song ihat all the world might sing, In all the corners of the earth your name with praise might ring, hon't think because of failure that your future all is dark You've many years before you yet in w hich to do your part. And fate, that fickle goddess, may hold good luck your way, Then buckle on your armor, ou ll win success some day. THE DIFFERENCE. You may think, in looking out upon the world, thai the great dif ference between people is that some have many things to enjoy and others very few; when you know them better you will iind thai a greater difference is that some have great power to enjoy and others very little.

OF SUCCESS. or Peen lost, or thrown away, will win success some day. HE IS STILL AT IT. One of our citizens who occas-1 tonally wipes the dishes for his wife, became tired of the job and refused, saying that it is not a man's work." Not feeling disposed to lose his help she brought the Bible out to convince him of his error and read as follows from 2 Kings 11:13: "And wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeih a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down." It is needless to say that he is still do ing his occasional stunt. It's too had :l inun r:ln't or I into fy.&Xt-i'. heaven with his tombstone inscrip I tion as a passport.

It Is As Much of a Sin To Be "Cranky To-day" and to Make Others Cognizant of the f:act As It Is to Steal a Man's Purse. In no position in life is the mat. with whims more out of place, and more of a bugbear and stumbling block than in the business world. Do we not all know people who allow their whim and moods to govern litem? They never stay "put." One day they are the flower of politeness, they work like Trojans, they are approacha ble and it is a pleasure to come into contact with them. The next day one is liable to find them in a posi tively ugly temper, sullen, or cranky, or so hateful and irritable that one is glad indeed to depart from their presence. And why this hideous transformation ? Sim ply because they have given away to that feeling of "I don't care whether school keeps or not." They have headache, or the blues, or they "got up on tiie wrong side of the bed," or they were "up too late last night, " or they may have one of a thousand different excuses. Whatever the reason for a change in feelings or disposi tion, no person has any right to make others the victims of his moods. It is as much of a sin to be "cranky to-day," and to make others very cognizant of the fact, as it is to steal a man's purse. The results are vastly more far-reaching. Cultivate stability, learn to control your moods. If you must have an off day occasionally, lock yourself up and vent your ill tem per on yourself, or wail till after business hours and make the furni ture and other inanimate objects the confidents of your woes. But the best way to overcome moods is pi; have ihem and keep Sf :! ; Sl ' C V I !'E WAYS OF 000 ,. uy ,.-. ; ''ei the best of men .th i" 'orrow or troubles? I' . ' :!h army the most ha..,: .

Crcecy, of Llizaheth City, the oldest and most highly esteemed editor in the State, in writing of the weather says : Of all things terrestrial the weath er is the most fickle, variable and uncertain. The wind bloweth where il lisieih and no man know eih whence it Cometh, or whither it goeth, said the inspired writer, and the wind is the most potent factor in the government of the weather. The weather prophet is j often an object of derision and the ' weather bureau one of the most expensive pets the government as often contradicts as it confirms it's : predictions. The seasons come andgo.spring 1 follows winter and summer spring : when one season differs from an j other and winter sits smiling in the lap of spring, men put on their i overcoats and cry aghast, "they i never saw the like." ; But yet in the ordering of Prov , idence some general laws govern the tides of times. Tradition : hands down to us seasons that have been without precedent in the memory of man. The year 1 S 1 (5 has left a memo ry still memorable, every month of , that famous year had a killing frost, no fruit matured, and the ' great staple of Indian corn was a ; withered product, and when gath ered at once commanded seven dollars a barrel in the market and was hardly to be had at that price. The winter was one of unprece dented severity. Albemarle Sound was frozen over, and old Parson Pettigrew crossed the ice from Mackev's Kerry to Edenton on foot having a canoe drawn behind him for greater security. There has been but one season since that time when the Albemarle Sound was solidly frozen over, ln the early twenties the citizens of Kdenton barbecued an ox on the bay and . Dr. James Noreom, a leader in festive sports, and a prominent cit izen lead the mimicitc with the belles of Edenton in a dance on the ice around the smoking roast, i But these were exceptional sea sons. There are certain laws I which generally govern and woich all men understand. The north i wind has a ball of ice in its breath I and the "sweet South" comes to us breathing on a bank of violets "giving and taking odor." The tides rise and fall and when they rise wiseacres shake their heads, j put on their weather caps and pre I diet rain and when it falleth dry I weather is predicted, bin yet often the revers is true. So let us take j comfort and take time and tide and circumstance with a welcome hand j and thank God for His omnipotent ' government. I SH OWING BACK TO DIXIE.
