VOL. XIV. PITTSBORO', CHATTIAM CO., N. 0., MARCH 17, 1892. NO. 2!. if A Woman' Temple. Unconsciously a woman builds A temple in this world below, And tiny by day n stone Is laid Of little tiling thai cunic uiul go. So It dotli slowly rise nlmvc The tide of years, until its dome Has reached the glory clouds of heaven, A world within itself, a home She wisely builds upon the rock, far more eternal than the years, The pavement is of solid truth, Vntonchcd, unworn by falling tears. The walls are Innocence and grace, Pair virtue makes them high aud strung, Within they shine with purity, Kcsouiid with muse and sacred snug, The gates are pear's of truth and love. Whence Issue forth bright gleams of light, Kacli stone a little sacrifice, And kept in place by truth and right. The pillars are of gcnllo arts. That bear the weight of golden beams Of life, and bound by cords of love, And braced by faith' limiting streams. Kach nail a heart-heat set lu place, Kadi blow her very centre shook ; The steps are trials, stepping stone Where patience climbs with upward look. The throne, her grand eternal soul, lferking, the one she loves bet; The altar here sweet incense rise, Does hold her greatest and her best. So day bv day a (.tone it laid, Until the white-capped dome Is hid among the c'ouds, Aad she has readied her heavenly home. S. 11. Pnulis, in Inter Ocean. HIS UNLUCKY PLANET. 11V CI. AIM (JKKr'.N. Oh, Yes, I know it's nil my own fnulf," Charley ('leva said. "Whose elso should it lie? Hut 1 in disinherit d, alt t ho satno. I've no more chance of coining into that fertile farm lam han than yonder Italian organ grimier, who is turning the crank so pcscvci ingly miller ileal' Squire Ho mer's buck kilehcu window." "li, Charley," taid Itess. clasping licr hands despairingly together. "I didn't expect much else," wont on Mr, Cieve, in a rollicking, light hearted sort of way. "1 was born under an triliteky star, Saiurn, or Mars, or some ono of those planets that never bring a fellow tiny good. You ciii't e.i"ct a star to revereo iis order on my neeoiint, can you?' 'I!ul, Charley '' .! list wait until you hear the fu'l account of iny atrocities. I wasn't so much (o blame for treading on tho cat any ono might have done that. 1 don't think she laid that up against lite. And when I broke down the old ohcrrywood chair that had belonged to her grandfather that was a mete question of weight. And I mended it for her, too. Hut when the broiled liam for breakfast had nidi a queer taste to i; and 1 had to confess that I bad been smoking up tin? chimney where it hung " Oh, Charley!" How was 1 to know ihat she made n storehouse of tho hack-room chim ney? Folks in Philadelphia don't do that sort of thing. Aud the wouldn't tolerate tobacco in any shape she let me know that, at the very outset! The next thing I did was to up-el her whole churning of cream. It hung half way down the. well, don't you see, and when I tamo home, f.imi-licd with thirst, and jerked the bucket down well, tho first thing heard was Cousin S.nopta screaming like mad. 'Is it Lu.glars?' raid 1, seizing my blackthorn stick, or is it lire?' And I hud plunged into the. house, and put my foot literally, not mclaphori. cally into tho old lady's baking of custard pie, that she had set on the cellar floor to cool, befoie she could make inc. understand. Hut the last straw that broke the camel's back was tho old gray goose.'' "'Tho old gray goose,' Charley! Surely, nothing has happened to ihat!" Mr. Cievc shook his head. "The very worst has happenod," aid he, ''I've shot it !'' 'On, Charley!" The young man U.iuhod bittcr'y, and spouted tho lines: "Why look'st t!i"U so' With niv cross bow I shot Hie allr.itross:' Yes, 1 did. Out wild-duck hunting in the marshes. I thought it was rather a mammoth specimen, when I leveled the trigger; mid when lou brought it to nut my h 'art s ink to the very solos of my boots. I had half an idea of burying the creat lire out among tho salt grassis, and saying never a word. It ut ihat would havo been a sneaking sort of a dodge. The Clces can do plenty of shabby thing'', but they never lie outrigh'. So I brought it home with the string of wild birds. 'I'm TM'V sorry, Cousin Sarepia,' said I, 'but I've shot your old goose. I'll replace it wiih the finest pair to be had in Sill Inlet.' 'K'jp'ace ii!' says she; and then, to be sure, theie was a scene. She set a good deal of store by that old gray goose, you know." "Yes, I know," said Kcssie. re signedly, "ll was nearly twenty .years old. Sho raised it herself, ill a basket by the klto'icn-flre, and it ate corn daily out of her own hand. She wouldn't havo taken twenty dollars for that old goose. No, nor fifty, I do bcllevo." "So," added Charley, with a par ticularly expressivo shrug of tho shoulders, "sho has turned nio out of doors. She called nio a loafer and n shiftless ne'er-do-weel, and I dare say sho was right. I c uildu't contradict hor, so I didn't try. She recom mended mo to go about my business; so I did. And hero I mil. I've tele graphed to Philadelphia for the taxi dermist. That was all I could do. 1K you suppose, Hess, your fathor would tako mo lo board for tight days? I've hut eight days left of my vai'ution, anil there'll bo such n lot of questions asked if I camo homo in advauco of time. I wouldn't advise you lo havo a word to say lo mo. I daro say 1 shall set lire to the lionise, or poison the family, or shoot sot.ie body by mistake. What cnu be ex pected of a fellow that was born under a:i unlucky planet?'' Boss Wardon laughed cheerily. "Father will risk it, I am sure," said she. -We haven't a great deal of spare room, but mo: her will make you up a cot-bed in tho room wiih the boys, and if you can put up with our plain way of living " Ho stopped her niouili with a kiss. "You aro an nngel, Hess!" said ho. Tho kindly Warden family did Iheii best to console old Miss Sarepta Smith's discarded relation, nnd to inako the last portion of his vacation a Irille plcasantcr than the lie si had been, lint Doctor Warden shook his frost- whito head. "I don't like long engagements," aid I.e. And Hess can't marry a mail on any twelve doll us a week." "Hut, father, Charley will do betlcr in time." "If it pleases tho unlucky planet,'' interpolated Charley. 'Well, wait until the better limes come." "Oh, we don't mind waiting!" cried Us. Speak for yourself, if you please," murmured Charley. 'We've a lifetime beforo us," nt. severated Bess; "ami, in tho mean time, Charley, we'll go out duck shooting tomorrow, and I'll row you through the Silver Channels to the best ground on all the coast." O.i the night before Me. Clove's timo was up, the lovers, talking lo each other late in the autumnal star. starlight on (he porch, saw a red glow in tho sky above the privet hedge. "It's a bonlire,'' said Charley. "It's Miss Sarepta Smith's house!'' shrieked Hess. "Help! Help! l ire! Water! Oh, why don't somebody come !" "Call your father and the boys!1' said Charley, flinging off his coat, I'll jump the fenco an 1 take the short cut. She's all id me in tho house, poor thing." At Salt Inlet they had neither steam lire engines nor pn'ent extinguishers. By tho time the volunteer company had dragged tho rickety o';d engine and bo-e-cart out of their shed, and hoisted them up the bill, the ancient house where S.i'opta Smilh bad been born was in ruins; and the old woman herself, carried in a big chair over to Ihe Warden house, was lamenting that she, loo, had not gouo also. "Seems like 1 coul iti't live nowhere else," siid she. "And I'm an old woman a very old woman " P, ss Warden g ivo up her own room in Miss S uepa. F.vory one did what he could to make her comfortable, but (ho only sign she evinced of plonmio was r hen Charlie Ch-ve brought in the old gray goose, si 111,- mounted on an imitation of iiios-y ground, licr dim eyes lighted up. "I am glad yotl saved Ihat, t harles," aid she. "I found il among a heap of other things," said Charley, "and I thought you'd like to have it. S.e, here arc your spectacles, too, and the old Hible, with the leaves all right, and the cover only a little charred !" Miss Sarepta looked feebly from one relic, to another. "I'm glad," said she, "very glad. It win though! fill of you, Oniric-. I'm sorry 1 called you them names. I take 'cm all back." Oh, never mind the mimes, " said Charley. "At ail events, you can't lay this firo to me! ' "No," said Sarepia, "it was tho mice playiu' on the c'o-et shelf where 1 kept the matches. 1 d l aid up to set a trap, but I forgot. And 1 should ha' been burned in my bed, if it hadn't been for you, Charles I allays dreaded a death by tire!" Old Miss Sarepta lay very quiollv for a day or two, ills the gray goo so folding its wings at her bed head, ami tin; Hible and spectacle on a stand bvitiile her pillow. ! "Charles shall havo the gray goose," snld she, one evening. "It'll help fur. nlsh his house. Ami it'll show I don't bear no mulico on account of his shnotin' it. And tho specks and tho ItiL lo Hess must keep. An old Hible brings every ono luck!" Sho died beforo daybreak. If there was any will anil Miss Sarepia was always believed to bo a well-to-do, businesslike woman it was destroyed in the names. Tho old plaeo throe-ami-forty acres went to a cousin uearor of kin than Charley Cleve. "My unlucky planet again," said Charley, with a grimace. "Well, never mind, Hess; it's only waiting a little longer. We've got a Hiblo and a pair of spcctaclos, after all." "And a sluftbJ gray goose," said Hess. "Oh, hang tho goose I" said Char, loy. "It's neither useful nor orna mental. Let's shy it out into tho orchard," and ho seized it by ono leg. 'O.i, stop, Charloyl" criod thrifty Hess. "Let's savo (ho feathers for a pillow." "They're full of nrscnic and such stuff." "All tho betlcr for keeping out moths," retorted Hess. "I'll pack them into a hag, and Oh, Charlie, what is this?" A piece of tho old gray goose's rpi. dermis had como oil with tho lirst handful of feathers. I'nderneath it was something like dull-grccn paper, parked in layers. "Hollo!" said Charley. "Why they're bills I They're .nonoy 1 Look here! Am I dreaming?'' It was true. The old gray goosa was etulled fild of new crisp green backs. Sarepta Smith's eccentricities had not ceased with her death. There had been method in her words when sho gave Charley Clevo this memorial of his own blunder, as a peuco offer ing. Five hundred dollars!" said he. "I sav, Hess, isn't it almost enough to get married upon? We'll do it very quietly, you know." Don't talk nonsense, Charley." "Hut look in the old Hible, Hess. Who knows what may be hidden there?" Nothing was hidden there. Ap parently Miss S.ircpta had confined her savings bank idea to the old gray goose. Charley Clcve considered deeply. "Five bundled dollars won't go very far in the city," suid he; "and in the Trust Company, wbcro I'm clerking it, a fellow mav grub nwav for 'JO years without any chance of promo lion. I'll cut city lif.-, Hess, if you say so, and invest this money in tho first payment una little fruit farm out here a( Salt Inlet." Bess's face lighted up. Close to my old home!" sho cried. (Hi, Chai ley, I do -say so!'" And 10 years after their wedding, day, When the great railway vein luid throbbed through their land, nnd tho "little fruit farm" was cut up into Village lots, the thriving young farmer looked at his wifo with a smile. It all comes of the old gray goose, Hess," aid he. The unlucky planet was a lucky ono after all," laughed Hess. Tho Ledger. Making Medicine Pulatahle. Tho Paris hospitals havo a prac'ico which may with profit bo commended to tho physicians and nurses of this country. Some years ago a leading physician of Paris, noting the strenu ous objections entertained by many patients of tho hospitals to taking uiediciao because of its noxious taste, conceived the idea that medicine should be administered in the food of the pa tients, lie began a series tff experi ments to ascertain whether tho lusle of drugs might not be so disguised with food as to render them, if ijot palatable, at least less objectionable. The oils, such as cod-liver oil, cas:or oil mi l the like, he concealed in soups, nnd invented a peculiar bread known ns the chalybeato bread, tor the pur pose of administering iron tonic, which many persons object strongly to taking on account of its taste. F.very ounce of this bread contains one grain of the luctatc of iron, aud the quantity of iron tonic which a patient would take in the course of one day's j meals would be quite sulho ient for all medical purposes. Tho idea is not a bad ono for our doctors lo follow, for 1 a patient with a weak or squeamish I stomach is often put to no little iucoii- I venieuce or suffering by the abo unli able taste of some necessary medi cines.

A man was driving his horse along until ho came to the road toward home, and ju-t be cause tho hore was going to go home, lie whipped tho horse so that I could not look at him. Now, just let me tell you that is not the way lo treat a horse. A horse feels harshness aim st as much as you do, and I think if the men who do this thing would just think, it. would lie better f ir tho horses and themselves loo."

Cyp was a handsome brown spaniel, of tho kind known ns "bird dogs." When only a small puppy her instinct as a bird setter showed il-elf in a pas sion for chasing and killing young chickens, aud as she grew older, not even the larger fowls were safe from her sharp teeth. At la-t, however, by inueU patience and punishing on Iho part of he? master, liyp was taught not to chase the fowls, on her master's premises nt least. Ono of the children of tho family had a pet hen, which, being always near tho hottsp, annoyed (!yp very much by stealing the food from tho plate of scratti set for the dog upon the back porch. In vain did tlyp chase her away. As long ns sho for bore giving her shaking, old Hiddy would return on the instant that (iyp went back lo her plate and snatch an other choice bit under her very UOSC. At last the poor dog's patience wa9 worn out, and one morning Oyp resolved to put old Hiddy out of tho way, and yet not to risk punishn ent by killing her in tho way common lo bird dogs. S1 e seized Ihe ben in her teeth, and ran with it to the garden, where, still holding it in her mouth, sho scratched a deep hole in the earth, and laid the squawking hen in it, hold ing her down with one paw, while with the other sho proceeded to bury her tormentor alive. S well diil she accomplish this task that it is doubtful if the hen could havo gotten out without help. When the lieu was buiied. Oyp trotted buck to finish her breakfast in peace. The hen was released uninjured and ran cackling to the b;i"iyaid.
