To look upon the ocean as we
1
saw it here a few dap since, calnH
j and almost as still as a lake, is to
ncliold ooe of tbe tnost beautiful !
tilings in nature. Grand
nature. G rani m its
bnundl e -ness, it stretches away to
infinity under a sky wlikdi is as love
ly in sutBmer in North Carolina as
It is possible for a sky to be. The
water is of that beautiful bine color,
which is so blue that nothing else
with it, ultramarine.
Fringed with a narrow hand of white
foam where the minature breakers
rolr themselves in-to nothing on the
gravelly beach, the blue fades away
on the Iwirizon into a delicate haze
tili it merges itself into the lighter
blue of the ek-. Far out at nea the
ships go on with every sail set, for
the wind is light. Tliose coming
down the coast gradually wurkiog
out t6 give a wide berth to the dread
ed Ilatteras.till the merge into noth
ingness and fade a'vay while those
which are north hound having passed
the fearful cape, coie gradually
nearer the land. Their Upsails are
.first seen showing a small white
break in the blue haze and tiien they
gradually rise jaio full view and go
on.
Seeing then thus pass into sight
to. so soon disappear cuakes one Te
member the words of Tennyson :
A And the stately ships go on
To the haven tu.der the hill,
But oh 2 for a touch of th'e vanished
hand,
And the sound of the voice that is
still."
To look upon the ocean always
brings sadness, because its vastness
compels us to think upon our own
insignificance, an 1 when we think
of our own smallness we can but bei
sad. v
Miss Harridan's book, "Sh'ps that
pass in the night," was most proba
bly suggested by looking upon some
such scene. Also Bill Nye's parody
oil it entitled, Schooners that get
stuck on the bar." I tnigUt add that
schooner is used to denote a beer
glass as well as a two masted vessel
This train of thought having pretty
effectually transferred us from the
sublime to the ridiculous, gives us
time to look at the land.. In the fore
ground the hideous buildings, termed
cottages through courtes', which
have been erected along the beach
stand out- against the great sand
hills with their ever changing faces.
Through a vista of hills we catch
a glimpseof the blue waters of the
sound, dotted with sail boats and
glittering in the sun right merrily.
By this, time we have donned our
bathing suits and repair to the ocean
side. The breeze has freshened a
bit too wlule we were meditating and
big breakers are beginning to pound
upon the beach. We anchor our
light life lines in the sand, for the
beach is treacherous here, and then
out we go. Just far enough to get
outside the break we go and then all
the delights of the most delightful
bath known to man. See a big wave
comes rolling majestically onward, its
top just capped with foam ; we can't
go over it, we are too close in. S'
we grasp the hand of a fair bather
firmly. The men set their faces, the
ladies scream slightly ; then edive
into it head first and emerge on the
other side laughing, ray fair cotupan

Laat Saturday at 2 o'clock P. M.

the . liberty party, and about sixty
of U3 mustered on the quarter!
.iiJ .i i.' ,i - ft t.J ... .
ocuik. leit tii'j suip v uen out
of the Navy Yard the party scattered
in every direction, many ( Hkj boys
stopping at the first saloons they got
to, so I was left alone- I always am
when on libert', because I cannot
alfort to go to the dens that ordinary
sailors frequent.
Making my way to the great Brook-
lyn Bridge, I boarded the traijn and
in a few tuinutes was on Broadway,
New York. Passing down Broad
way to the "Battery," (the lower lira
its of the city), with about a hundred
other people, I took passage on a
little steamer for Bedloe's Island.
Here stands that enormous structure,
the -Statue of Liberty, and soon a
party of us were climbing the spiral
stairs that - lead to the head and to
the torch, which the large lady holds
in her hand. We were not allowed
to go farther up than the head, be
cause suiciders have taken the ad
vantage of leaping from the torch to
end their earthly existence. We
had a fine view of the harlor and
surrounding cities, which was grand
as seen through a woman's eyes.
Tin tablet the woman holds in her
left hand is 10 by 12 feet aud 2 feet
thick, and her arm is 36 feet circum
ference. The Island is government property,
and is guarded by U. S. soldiers.
They are clever fellows ; invited me
into their quarters to take supper
with the li, and afler a pleasant chat
1 left for the city.
Reaching the "Battery," I began
threading my way among a living
ii. ass of restless humanity, I felt a
light tap on the shoulder, and aclear
voice spoke out, "lifrw is it to come
alongside?" (a sea term, asking per
mission to J-in a comrade).
I turned and was confronted by a
Naval apprentice boy. His e3'es
glistened with fun and good nature
and his face was fair as a girl's. So
we walked on talking of different
ships, ports, etc. A short time ago
he returned from Europe on the old
training ship, Essex, and was not at
all new in the service.
As we were passing a saloon he
said, -"I'iii vry near broke I have
only 35 cents, but come in and
we'll have some beer on that". Bat
we did not go in, for 1 tried to tell
him as best I could of the evils' of
drinking and the sure fate of the
drunkard. Then I asked him to take
a iilass of milk-sbake with me, and
he did, saying, that -it was better
than beer.
Next be boarded a cable car up
Broadway. Here an incident oc
curred that embarrassed us both: A
lady came into the car and took a
seat near us., fshe looked at the sail
or boy ajuoment, then extended her
hand with a quarter in it, saying, "I
pity you , will you take this?" The
boy wa9 insulted and did not accept
the gilt. After changing colors two
or three t'mes he refused, with
. i , ,
yOUPg and fair Imv in tbe hard sea
. ri- " .
semce of his country. . .

Higher Education.
We regret the elfort that is now
being made to hinder higher eduea
tion in North Carolina. Wc think
that those who are taking the-posi-
tion that State aid should be witl
drawp from this worthy object argue
from false premises. If education
was merely a com mod it, an article
of merchandise, then there! might be
just ground for complaint. We
think that both Sta'e and National
government should interfere as little
as possible with the private business
of its citizens. But, education in-
vol.es a matter of very great impor
tance to the State aud nation and
must effect the future interests of the
whole people aud is, therefore, lifted
far above the every-da$- trading in
articles that perish with their using
Schooies and colleges cannot prop
erly be placed in the same category
with stores, factories and offices,
with reference to the State's connec
tion therewith. V i
j'.j
To foster education is a duty the
State owes her young people, as it is
z duty that the p ircuts owe their (
children, because it is rcfining.elevat
ing and tends to hetter citizenshio.
North Canlina has not done enough
in this direction.- She is far behind
many of her sister States both in aid
to common schools and to higher
education.
Instead of antagonism, there
should be concert of action, harmon
ious working logether. tin this part
on the Stale and the private schoo'e
and colleges, to advance the import
ant work in hand, If there 19 unnrc
essary friction it should be removed
without sowing seed of discord over
the State,
It the Methodist and Baptist "an I
Prcsbj'terians and members of ot her
denominations are not loyal to their
colleges and fefrain from extending
desired patronage if the wealth v
members of these denominations fail
to give the financial aid that is nec
essary to enlarge the usefulness of
these institutions, by enabling them
to give more help to our worthy and
ambitious, but poor, young men and
young women let not these things
le permitted to block the cause of
education and shut off the meagre
assistance now afforded by the State
to those of our 3 ung people who are
struggling in the midst of poverty
