The pure, the bright the beautifal, That stirred our hearts in youth, The impulses of wordless prayer, - The dreams of love and truth; The longings after something lost, " The spirit's learning cry. The striving after better hopes These thiogs can never die. The timid hand stretched forth to aid A brother in his need, A kindly word in grief's dark hour That proves a friend indeed ; The plea for mercy, softly breathed. When justice threatens nigh The sorrow of a contrite heart These things shall never die. The memory of a clasping hand, ' The pressure of a kiss. And all the trifles, sweet and frail, That make up love's first bliss; If with a firm, unchanging faith, " And holy trust and high, These hands have clasped, those lips have met These things shall never die. The cruel and the bitter word, That wounded as it fell. The chilling want of sympathy We feel, but never tell; Th hard repulse that chills the heart Whose hearts were bounding high, In an unfading record kept . These things shall never die. Let nothing pass, for every hand Must find some work to do; Lose not a chance to waken love Be firm and just and true. So shall light mat cannot fade Jieam on thee from on high, And angel voices say to thee These things shall never die. SUNDAY SELECTIONS. Many a man is willing to hold on to Const, who is noTat all willing that Christ should bold on to him. Trust the Lord much while he is with you. Keep no : secrets from him. - His secrets are with you ; let your secrets be with him. Spurgeon. It is most important that our young peoole found their faith, as re gards all things which they believe, nor on the notions of men, but on the Word of God. What we ask in relation to our Lord Jesus Christ is steady, constant obedience to his will, a quiet house hold life, a business conducted face to face with the decalogue and the whole life lived in the spirit of the love of Jesus Christ. Christian faith is a grand ca thedral, with divinely pictured win dows. Standing without, you see no glory, nor can possibly imagine any. Standing within, every ray of light reveals a harmony of unspeakable splendors. Hawthorne. I knew a ' miser who gave up every kind of comfortable living, all the pleasure of doing good to others, all the esteem of his fellow citizens, and the joys of benevolent friendship, for the sake of accumulating wealth.

An elderl? giraffe born in foreign parts was in the habit of entertaining with his conversation a large captive bred baboon. Br ntr rotable persiflage and well chosen anecdote he did much to relieve the te dium of off hours in their uienagerie lire, The baboon, silent, but singularly accu rate, would listen for hours to tales or what' would have been his native land if onlv he had been born there. "Would you not like to hear now something of the desert?" asked the gi raffe. The baboon, terse, but by no means in different, nodded his head. "The desert," said the giraffe, "is com Dosed of sand. Some deserts are furnish ed also with a neat and convenient oasis, an arrangement of trees and fountain singularly grateful and refreshing to the weary and parched traveler. Others are provided with a mirage, an ingenious op tical delusion, but, judged by tne nara test of results, of no practical value, Others, again, are wd:out either of these annexes and may be considered as vast plains of sand, extending, as a general rule, over a space greater than the whole ' of this island, where at present we are being exhibited at prices sadly incommen curate with the pleasure and instruction that we provide for the yonng. An alli gator of my acquaintance once attempted -to cross one of these deserts. He took his chance of finding an oasis, but as it happened this desert was all sand, pure sand and nothing but sand. I would not harrow the feelings and depress the spir its by recounting all the agonies that the alligator endured from thirst. Suffice it to say that opoint was reached when he knew that in another hour he would be' dead for want-of water. The point to which I wish, to call your attention i one which has a curious psychological in terest. Unable to endure the suspense of waiting the' approach of death, the mis guided and desperate reptile anticipated the decree of nature and committed sui cide." "How?" asked the baboon. The giraffe cleared bis throat to gain time and then murmured, with a pathetic look in his eye: "Drowned himself." ' And then no sound was heard but the snapping of the bars of the cage by the justly incensed baboon. A moment later the air was thick with, shreds of decen tralized giraffe. Immoral. Never begin to tell a lie until you see your way to the end of it There was once an almond eyed prin cess of great beauty, considerable wealth and average principles.. And when the time drew near that she should be mar ried she. bade her grand vizier bring be fore her suitors, that she might bear what they had to say, at the same time not binding herself to accept the lowest or any tender. When the day came, there were but three who had the courage to step for ward and urge their claims. The first was middle aged and portly and spoke after this manner: "Princess, if you will be mine 1 will give yon the finest palace in this country and the largest diamond and the fleetest horse." The second was yonnger and would have been nice looking if he had not had a Shifty eye. "Princess," he said, "if my suit finds favor with you I will do all that this mer chant has promised, and, moreover, by a private arrangement between the court physician and myself, I will succeed my father as king, and you shall be my queen." ; "Number three," the vizier called out, and very shyly the third man stepped forward. He was very young and as beautiful as a young god.. He was sim ply but tastefully attired in a snit, no longer new, of his Sunday clothes. . "Oh, princess," he said in a rich and fruity voice, looking round absentminded- ly for the limelight, "I have no treasure to offer you nor power nor title only an undying love." There was a- faint trembling on the violin strings. The musicians, being nsed to oriental . stories, had expected some thing of the kind. The vizier spoke: "Oh. more than diamonds! Oh. sweet er than power! Higher, far higher, is love undying, love that" "I wish you d sit down and not talk like a back number," said the princess. "Number two-wins, of course." Immoral. The highest feelings are the farthest ont of reach. ' In the garden of an aged and rheu matic chartered accountant (who has nothing to do with the story) there grew a proud rose and a poppy side by side. The rose was tended and pruned and wa tered; nobody heeded the poppy. If they had heeded it, they would hare taken it by the neck and thrown it out. Ifc was a common and self sowed poppy. Some people would have thought it of no value. They wonld have been tight first time. One dry day the .poppy permitted itself to remark, "Oh, if they, would only wa- , ter me too!" ,' "Why should they?'? asked the rose. "I k am beautiful in color, graceful in shape. delicious in perfume. You are cheap and gandy and untidy, and -you smell bad. and there is no wesfr-tn '"awn."

THE PENDING REVENUE ACT. As Drafted by the Joint Finance Committee of the N. C. Gen eral Assembly. MOST IMPORTANT FEATURES Given to the Pablic la a Summary Pre pared by Representative Willard, One of the Pramers of the lav porfant Measure. Special Star Telegrdm. Raleigh, N. 0., February 23 The Revenue act as drafted by the joint Finance Committee is now in the hands of the 8tate printers Mr. Wil krd, who is active in its preparation. (rave newspapers lo day a summary, of which the following is the gist: "There has been so much ill advised comment on the Revenue bill, that explanation of its chief provisions may be of interest. Some large tax payers have gone into hysterics over certain proposed provisions that nieht possibly be in tne nature or a double taxation, when it has been the fixed Duroose of the comaiittee to avoid as far as possible any thing in the nature of a double tax. : One first proposition, looking to this end, made by the writer, (Willard) is that all owners of mortgaged real palate bp permitted to deduct the amount of the mortgage on their property from the assessed value when affidavit and cer tificate from the tax lister be exhibited showing that the mortgage itself is taxed. For certain reasons, which the committee deemed &ood, it was not thought advisable to adopt this provision at this time. "Section one of the Revenue bill states the objects for which taxes are levied. There is no change in this old law. "Section two levies a poll tax of $1.29. On account of the regressive nature of the poll tax, which bears much more heavily on the poor man than a man of means, we supplement it with an inheritance tax on legacies of personal proparty exceeding $2,000 and an income tax which distributes the'burden of taxation somewhat more equally. "Section three levies a general prop erty tax of twenty one cents for State purposes', four cents for pensions, eigh teen cents for schools, an aggregate of forty three cents, the same as last year; the only change being that the amount of pensions is increased from three and one-third to four cents, and the tax for State purposes is reduced twenty-one and two thirds cents to twenty-one cents. "Section four levies a tax on banks This section is changed so as to require shares of stock of all banks to be valued by the State auditor, and the State tax to be paid direct to the State treasurer. The auditor is then re quired to certify to the counties in which stockholders reside, the value of their shares, and the stockholders pay the local tax on that valuation. The tax on shares of non resident stock holders is paid by the bank in the county where the bank is located. "Section five relates to the machin ery for collecting the bank tax. The next section imposes tax,, on corporate loans. Nothing new in this tax; it is simply .a tax on persona properyt, which every taxpayer owning any such property, al ways has been required to pay. It changes the method of col lecting the tax, making the corpora tion responsible for it; specifically states that bonds issued by the corpor ation shall be exempt from all Other Stale taxation in the hands of holders of the same. The same is true in re gard to tax on municipal loans. Whenever under the law bonds pf counties or cities are subject to State taxation, the treasurer of the county or city is made tax collector, and the individual owning the bonds is then exempt from further taxation on them. "Tax on building and loan associa- ciations is not changed. "The next section provides for a tax on all corporations except such as are specifically taxed by name under some other section of the law. This is no new tax, but simply steps to secure beyond peradventure taxes always levied but in a great many cases never paid. Every corporation is re quired to make a statement to the aud ttor giving only such information as may enable him properly to value the capital stock. After this valuation is made the assessed value of real estate is deducted and the corporation pays the tax to the treasurer of the State. "The next tax levied is the inheritance or succession tax. A transfer tax im posed on successional, the right of a legaten to take under a will orof colla teral distribution in case of intestate. This tax is entirely in the interest of small property owners and is intended as a balance wheel to adjust in some measure the unequal application of the present laws which place necessarily the increased burden we must carry where most easily supported. "The next section levies an income tax on all incomes over $1,000. "Schedule B is devoted to license taxes. They are retained substantiallv in the same form as they heretofore existed. "Schedule O levies a privilege tax on railroad, telegraph, express and tele phone companies. The only material change is the privilege tax on rail roads. This has grown out of the agi tation in the State Legislature of 1899, and will be a source of considerable revenue to the State. "In all efforts to frame a proposed revenue law we endeavored to be guided by due regard for the interests of the people; we have endeavored to bring property which heretofore has escaped taxation, upon the tax books; we nave tned not to propose any law that would be oppressive to owners of manufacturing establishments, and also tried to keep before us the inter ests of the great number of taxpayers wno occupy tenement nouses surround ing factories. We have done the best to make the proposed law work the greatest good to the greatest number." SENATORS CONSIDERING RELATIONS WITH CUBA. r 7 ProDoshioos Embodied la a Proposed Amendmeat to the Army Appro? 'i pristloa BUI. - v By Telegraph to the Mornnur Star. WAHHiHOTOir . February 23. The Ran ate Committee on Relations with Cuba met to day to consider a pro posed amendment to the Army Appro priatlon Dill proviaiog ior tion or Cuban affairs. TThe proposi tion was prepared by the Republican members of the committee and iS said tn bn aatiafaetorv to most of them. The proposed amendment recites the so-called Teller amendment to the Spanish war resolutions, and then gives the President authority to with draw tbe troops from Cub wheu in bis' judgment the provisions of the Teller amendment are realized. The nroDosiiiona embodied in the proposed amendment include the fol Inwinir noints: That the United States shall have supervision of aU treaties with foreign countries made by the republic of iluha. - ToatCuba shall not undertake to pay tbe debt incurred by Spain in her war with uuoa prior to or aiier ine in iervention of the United States. - That Cuba shall agree either to lease or to sell to the United States such coaling or naval stations as in the opiuion of the United States may oe necessary to the protection of the interests of this country. That the United States shall have sufficient supervision of the laws of Cuba relating to sanitation to protect ibis country from epidemics liable to originate there. 1 The idea is that these provisions shall be included in a treaty to be made with Cuba, but that -they need not be a part of the constitution It is understood that tbe draft of the amendment containing these provis ions was submitted to the President and tbe secretary of war, and that they expressed themselves approving of their wording. - . ' The minority members of the com mittee expressed themselves willing to come to an understanding upjn these geueral lines. Indeed, some of the most important suegestions were made by the minority. Senator Butler, North Carolina, being one of the fore most movers in . the matter. They insist, however, upon manv verbal amendments, thus evincing a deter mination to aid in giving form to the provision as well as suggesting its general tenor. . When tbe committee adjourned to day there was still impoitant differ ences to be reconciled, and the mem bers separated with the understanding tbat another meeting, would be held on Monday. Members on both sides of the com mittee express tbe hope that an agree ment would be reached., but all said that the proceedings had not gone far enough to render it certain thai the re sult would be attained. - One prominent point to which tbe committee is giving special attention, although that point may not be eu-Dhasiz-d or even mentioned, in tbe proposed amendment, is the relation of Cuba to tbe Isle of Pines. There is some di.-piiion among the Cubans to nold on to that island so near to their shores, while there is apparently dis position on the part of the United States to release that possession, on the erouDd that tbe island was ac- q lirtd as a result of the Spanish war. There is also more or less contention over the exact meaning of tbe word "pacification." as used lu the Teller resolution. That resolu tion provided that tbe United Stales forces should be removed from tbe island when it should become "paci fied." The contention is tbat this is a word that may be broad I interpreted. aod may permit the United States troops to remain for a long period of time. Apparently all the members of the committee unite in the opinion that there would be no possibility of with drawing the American forces until after tbe election and installation of Cuban officials under the new consti tution. There will be an effort to report the amendment Monday or Tuesday, as tbere is a eeneral desire to have it be come a part of tbe 'Army Appropria tion hill, the consideration of which has already begun in the 8eoate.

The latest edict of tbe Chinese court expresses the desire that Chi-Hen and Hsu-Chepg- Yu, now ia tbe hands of the Powers, be handed over for immediate execution. Native newspapers assert that Li Hung Chang has telegraphed that the negotiations are at a deadlock nod that he has meni rialized the throne admitting his inability to arrive at a settlement, and offering himself fur punishment in accordance with (Jhii ee custom. The E uperor has sent to Prince Cinug and Li Hung Chang tbe draft of the proposed future court etiquette. for the approval of the ministers of the rowers. The Forbidden City. Pkkin, Feb. 23. Sir Robert Hart (chief of the Chinese Imperial cus too.8), has sent the ministers of tbe Powers a strongly worded letter of protest against tbe seizure of his property, to increase the size of the legations' area, which has been taken by Austria, France, Germany and Italy.
