W. sledge It Is the Hour oi Twilight That The Wanderer, Who Has Jour neyed Far, Thinks of Home. OE IE Dixoo & rou The twilight hour is ihe inost beautiful hour of the day. It lacks, lo some degree, the awe-inspiring splendor of the dawn, but the calm beauty of the twilight is more loved by men. The dawn has a lense ness about it, as though ii were the hour io prepare for the day's long battle. But the twilight is the hour after battle, then, if victori ous, we can rejoice; if defeaied, resi. It is the hour in ihe day when we can forget iis trivial vex ations, the toil, ihe suffering, the long hot hours, the heartaches, and ihe pain. The twilight is ihe hour of mem ory, li is then that we look back over ihe wasted years io golden hours thai have gone. Old faces rise before us, and those who have long been gone we see again. Down the long line of silver yes teryears some days stand oui gold en, upon which we almost wish the hand ot Time had stopped. The twilight is ihe hour of hope, for ii is not long from the twilight to the morrow. May not wrongs we did today be atoned for on to morrow? Though we were hard pressed in the fight today, tomor row the victory will be ours. It may be that the future will be less hard to bear for who knows what awaits us? The many little things that vexed us today will be forgot ten tomorrow. And so, with faces toward the future, in the twilight we dream. And it is the hour of home com ing. In the twilight the farmer comes back in the gloaming over the fertile fields. The laborer re turns to his humble home, well conient. It is in the hour of twi light, thai the wanderer, who has journeyed far, thinks of home. The long bitter years and the tears are forgotten in the hour of twi light.

Weldon, N. C. ft AT THE PASTURE BARS. Little maid at the pasture bars, Waiting to see the new moon shine, And high in God's heaven the faithful stars That keep their tryst with that heart of thine, Dreaming as maids have dreamed before Of a wonderful city far away, Where fortune waits with her golden store And fame shall crown thee some day, some day. Thine the round of the daily task, Dull in the doing it oft may be; But souls in thy city of dreams would ask No better fortune than falls io tliee. Health, and plenty, and home, and cheer, Blossoms of April and hearth fire's glow, These mark the path of ihy peaceful year, As the sun lit seasons come and go. Little maid, in ihai ciiy wide, Thou would'st miss the blessings ihai throng thee here; The vine-hung church by the river's side, The home of thy child's heart, old and dear, Tender clasp of a loyal hand, Song of bird, and of homing bees, Hearts that love thee and understand, Life holds nothing thai counts with these. Thy city of dreams is a lonesome place, And Fame but a worthless thing, men say; And what were the good of silks and lace If the heart beneaih them ached ahvay? Little maid, let the vision pass, There waits for ihy journeying paih more fair And hark! I hear in the springing grass The feet that shall walk beside theelthere. For he comes Love conies with the moonbeams bright, And his arm is strong and his soul is true. And in his eyes is the steadfast light Of the stars that smile from their depths of blue. "Heart of my heart, turn not away; I'll guard thee from all that pains or mars, And in Love's own path we'll walk for aye, Dear little maid at the pasture bars." DYING BEQUEST OF SOLDIER. Feared Brother Might Have Fool ish Sentiment About Making Use of Oift. During the latter part of the Civil war Basil Gildersleeve lay one day apparently at the point of death, surrounded by several members of his family. "Broth er," he murmured faintly, "I have at most, only a few days to live, and when I am laid to rest I want yuu to have my new p.iir of boots in the closet yonder. I paid $150, Confederate, for them, and you are sorely in need of a pair." Insiead of the expected burst of graiitude there was no answer. Racked with emotion ai the ihoiiphi of his great loss, ihe brother was evidently too much overcome for speech. "Brother," persisted the future "immortal" weakly, "you niusm't have any foolish sentiment about those buois. I will never be well enough to wear them again, and it would be pure extravagance io bury me in ihem." Still the broth er, his face flushed, his heart too full for utterance, made no reply. "Won't you promise me to wear the boots after I am gone?" Gilder sleeve pleaded. "Basil," stam mered the other, crimsoning with confusion, "I've got 'em on now." Argonaut.

When the children go io bed at night, it somehow seems to me As if heav'n came down lo bless with its tender ministry. The little ones are weary, and their eyelids fain would close, Like the petals pink and perfect of some rare and fragrant rose. Clad in garments white and spotless, dowp they fall by mother's knee, Making thus a scene so holy only angel eyes should see. There is something in the vision of each bending litile head That fills my soul with rapture when the children go to bed. When the children go to bed at night, the air within the room Seems redolent of the perfume of rich fields of clover bloom, And it seems no stretch of fancy to say my inner eyes Can see about me growing the sweet flowers of Paradise. And I bend to kiss their lips, as pure as morning dew, I feel a joy within my soul that thrills me through and through; And more and more it comes to me that I am being led By the prayers the children offer as each night they go to bed. When the children go to bed at night, at once across the years My thoughts fly back to childhood, and my eyes are dim with tears; I recall when I was stainless as my little ones are now, For sin had never left a single imprint on my brow. And I'm longing, ever longing, to be as good once more As in the golden morning of the fragrant years of yore. So day by day I'm praising Him whose home is overhead For what my children teach me as each night they go to bed.

War is a grim skeleton, who stalks through the hours of mid night, lighting it with his ruthless torch. His companions are: Pes tilence, Rapine, Destruction and Disease. He disguises in the uni form of the nations and marches in splendid pageantry to the tune of stirring battle songs. But out upon the blood-wet battlefield where he is stripped of all disguise we see him as he is a rotten corpse, in his trait by tne reu glare of burning homes we find, splendid harvests ruined before their prime, wrecked happiness, sorrow, bitterness and despair. He drinks the red blood of youth and laughs in bitter scorn at the burning tears shed for strong men; dead long before their prime. War is the most terrible scourge ever loosed upon ihe human race. And war has no defense. He has never answered his accusers and told them why he has caused such woe. There is no answer he could make. He has burdened generations with a debt, that had the money been spent for educa tion instead, would have given every boy and girl an education equivalent to a college course, and there would be enough left over to educate a few score generations in the future. It is out upon the torn battlefield that war finds his strongest accus ers. Here after the battle, by the flickering torch-lights, we find the dead and dying mute sacrifices to an insatiate and blood-thirsty god. Why are these men thus dead be fore their prime ? And ihe war j god answers: "They died for the j honor of their country." The world for centuries has believed ' this fallacious answer. But does the ruthless sacrifice of thousands of iis best men prove a country's honor? Does the nation most in the right alway s win ? Is it not a huge gamble, the nation which is strongest in men and resources eventually winning? The world is slowly turning from false ideals, some of which it has believed in forcenturies.Grad ually, but surely, a new dawn is breaking. The dawn which pre cedes a day which shall be rich with that which the angels sung to the Judean shepherds three thousand weary years ago a day of peace and good-will. SAVED.
