spring rime.
Dear, faded flowers, they bloom again,
Like echoes of the springtime gone;
And mossy hillside, shadowy glen,
Break out in beauty like the dawn.
In regal beauty leaf and bud
Bend 'neath the kisses of the breeze.
And "Spanish Mixture for the Blood"
Smiles from the fences, rocks and trees.
Dear, smiling spring, what tender hope
Breathes from the life-awakening soil ;
How "Bolus' Anti-bilious hope,"
And "Dr. Gastric's Castor Oil,"
Bid frightened nature wake and' smile;
For springtime blossoms Alius less
With thoughts of praises than with vile
"Panaceas" for "Biliousness,"
If to the wooded nook we stray,
Where every swelling germ is huge
With life; each gray-browed rock will say,.
"Use Philogaster's Vermifuge."
If from these silvan bowers we fly,
We fly alas to other ifis;
And farm-yard gates and barn-doors cry,
"Take Ginsengrooter's Liter Pills."
Eich blue-eyed violet hides a "Pill,"
There's scent of "Rhubarb" in the air;
"Rbeurnatic Plasters" line each hill,
And "Bitters" blossom everywhere,
With "Ague Cures" the eyes are seared;
The air is thick, or thin I meant,
For nature's face and clothes are smeared
Willi "Universal Liniment."

Raleigh Observer.
This Institution was chartered in
1834. For forty-three years has it been
in existence; yet so quietly and un
ostentatiously has its work been done,
that comparatively few outside the
religious denomination which con
trols it, know much about it.
The bill to call into existence this
College and give it a body corporate
was introduced into the Legislature,
in the House of Commons at least, by
Hon. Will. H. Battle, who then repre
sented the county of Franklin. And
the bill became a law only by a major
ity of one. The Baptists of North
Carolina were a feeble folk then, but
now they number nearly one hundred
thousand members, including men
high in civil, social and financial
positions. -
At first the College curriculum was
combined with the manual labor sys
tem, but the latter proving, after two
years' trial,unsuccessf ul, was dropped.
Since the beginning two thousand
young men have matriculated. The
largest number at one time on the roll
was one hundred and fory-six. The
total number of graduates, up to date,
is one hundred and sixty- four.
An Irishman's Will.
In the name of God, Amen! I, Tim
othy Doolan, of Barry do wnderry, in
the county of Clare, farmer, being
sick, wake on my legs, but of sound
head and warm heart Glory be to
God! do make this, my first and last
will and ould and new testament.
First, I give my sowl to God, when it
plazes him to take it sure no thanks
to me, for I can't help it then and
my body to be buried in the ground
at Barrydownderry Chapel, where all
my kin have gone before me, and those
that live after, belonging to me, and
buried, peace to their ashes, and may
the sod rest lightly on their bones.
Bury me near godfather aud my
mother, who lie separated altogether
at the other end of the chapel yard.
I lave the bit of ground containing
eight acres rale old Irish acres to
my eldest son Tim, after the death of
his mother, if she lives to survive him.
My daughter Mary and her husband,
Paddy 0'Reagel,areto!have the black
sow that's going to have twelve black
bonifs. Teddy, my second boy, that
was killed in the war in Ameriky,
might have got his pick of poultry,
but as he is gone I'll lave them to his
wife who died a week before him; I
bequeath to all mankind fresh air of
heaven, all fishes of the sea they can
take, and all the birds of the air they
can shoot. I lave to them all the sun,
moon and stars. I lave to Peter Raf
ferty a pint of potheen I can't finish,
and may God be merciful to him.
I He Played to Win.
Le Figaro tells a neat story of the last
days of the Homburg gaming-tables.
A German officer paid a visit to the
trente-et-quarante table one day, and
beginning with a very small stake,
happened to light upon a series by
which he won $20,000 in half an hour.
The veteran gamblers predicted that
he would be tempted back to try bis
fortune,but day after dayjjassed with
out his entering the casino. At the
end of three months his regiment hav
ing received orders to march, on the
following morning he sauntered into
the room, and taking a double florin
from his pocket, staked it on the black
and lost. All the gamblers expected
that he would double the stake, and
in the course of an hour loose ali that
he had won when he was there before.
But he turned on his heel and walked
out ot the room, muttering, l never
have any luck at this game."
Millionaire Wlnani's Great Oreau
From the Baltimore Gazette.
"I'm building," Mr. Thomas Winans
said, in showing the reporter through
his mansion in .Baltimore, "an organ
that will be one of the largest in the
United States when completed. It
will have 5,000 pipes, ranging in size
from 34 feet to three quarters of an
inch. It is to be composed of five
organs, solo, swell, orchestra, pedal
and hierh pressure, and will be worked
with an air pressure of four and eight
inches. The room in which this organ
is being built is the full height of the
house, and has windows at the top
filled with slats by means of which
the music can be thrown in any de
sired direction."
