If you cannot on the ocean Sail among the swiftest fleet Rocking on the highest billows laughing at the storms you meet; You can stand among the sailors. Anchored yet within the bay; You can lend a hand to help them. As they launch their boats away. If you are too weak to journey Up the mountain steep and bigh, You can stand within the valley While the multitudes go by. You can chant in happy measure As they slowly pass along; Though they may forget the singer, -They will not forget the song. If you have not gold and silver, Ever ready to command; If you cannot toward the needy Reach an ever open hand, You can visit the afflicted. O'er the erring you can weep; You can be a true deciple, Sitting at the Saviour's feet. If you cannot in the harvest Garner up the richest sheave, Many a grain both ripe and golden Will the careless reapers leave. Go and glean among the briers Growing rank against the wall, For it may be that their shadows Hide the heaviest wheat of all. ! ... j If you cannot in the conflict Prove yourself a soldier true; If where fire and smoke are thickest There's no work for you to do; When the battlefield is silent You can go with bareful tread You can bear away the wounded, ' You can cover up the dead. Do not, then, stand idly waiting For some greater work to do; Fortune is a lazy goddess. She will never come to you, Go and toil in any vineyard, Do not fear to do or dare; If you want a field of labor j You can find it anywhere. Sel.

While the eyes of the country are intent on the war with 6 pain, Shylock will endeavor to pick the pockets of the people. In every war, in all ages, there has been a gang of financial buzv zards feeding upon the miseries of the combatants. Death, de struction, and misery are regard ed by them as pawns on the chessboard, where filthy lucre is played against the rights of hu manity. The p,othchild combina tion played for $4,000,000,000 of English bbuds, while England )layed to destroy Napoleon, and both won. . The gold -brokers, stockjobbers.and bank manipula tors played for a perpetual mort gage on tne ngnts ana iiDerties of the American people, while Liu coin, Grant, Shermau," and Sher idan played for the preservation of the union, and. both won. While an outraged people are en gaged in removing by a vigorous prosecution of the war the nuis ance or spauisn rule iro.m me Western Hemisphere the tories of Wall and Lombard streets are plotting to more throughly com mit the United States to the sin e gold standard and rivet the chains of financial contraction more firmly upon the industries f the people. We hope and pray for the success of the former and the defeat of the latter.

Flags on a Man-of-War. A story is told of a little cabin boy on board a man of-war, who by his action in pulling down the enemy's flag duringa battle gain ed victory for his commander. The story illustrates the value of the national flag in naval action, and how much depends upon the sailors seeing it flying from the masthead above them. "--. It was just at the beginning or a battle between two ships that the cabin boy, who had never been in a fight, asked one of the sailors how long it would take th enemy to surrender, and what his own ship would have to do to beat the other. 'Do you see that?" asked 'the sailor, pointing to the flag which was flyiDg from the masthead of the other ship. "As long as tha t is flying the other fellows wiii tight, but whee it comes down they will stop and their ship will surrender." The cabin boy was too small to fight, but he mad d up his mind to get the flag for his captain, pur ing the battle, when the ships were lashed together, he crawled on board the enemy's vessel, and while the sailors were busy fight ing climbed the rope ladder which ran up the mast, aud pulling the flag from its place, wrapped it around his body and carried it back to his own ship. The sail orswere fighting bravely, untii one. looking up and seeing that the flag , was gone, cried to his companion that the captain had pulled down the flag, and there was no use fighting longer. Tht men threw down their arms, and the mistake was not discovered until it was too late, for the cabin boy's comrades had seized th ship. The flag of his country is what every soldier and sailor through out the world fights for during a battle; when the flag is gone they lose heart and give up easily. Some of the Dravest deeds have been in defense of the flag, and to get it back again when theenemy has captured it. ' j When a ship goes intojbattle the national flag is run up to the masthead, the highest point on the vessel, where it flies until the engagement is over. Sometimes, when the other ship is the strong er or its sailors fight better.and the captain sees that he is beaten be pulls down his flag to show the enemy that he has had enough aud wants to surrender; this act is called "striking the colors;" It is a usual thing to run up a white flag in the place of the one which has been hauled down, but often the simple act of striking the colors is enough to end a bat tie. So long as the captain of a ship sees any flag except a white oue flying from the enemy's ves sel he will continue to fire upon it, for it is a sign that the sailors have not given up and are ready to fi ht longer. SouVetimes dur ng a naval battle the ropes which hold the flag are shot away, but in such cases there are alw7ajfs some brave sailors who will climb the mast and put another in its place. During the Revolutionary war, when the ship commanded by Paul Jones was fighting an Eug lish vessel, the American flag was shot away and fell overboard into the water. One of the sail ors, who saw' it fall, jumped after it, and although he was wounded, swau with it back to the ship, when it was fastened to the top again. When the flag went over board the Englishmen began to cheer, for they thought that Paul Jones had surrendered, but when they saw it flying from the mast head once more they changed their minds and finally surrend ered themselves. The action of the wounded sailorln jumping into the water to rescuethe flag made his companions fight alMhe harder. , ! Every boy who has read Amer ican history knows about the bat tie of Lake Erie and of how Com modore Perry carried the flag from his sinking ship and hoisted it upon another. When the Eng lish captain saw Perry going in a rowboat from the sinking ship with the flag thrown over his shoulder he ordered the sailors to sink the boat so that the flag couldn't be hoisted at the mast- head of another vessel. He knew that if the American sailors saw that theirflag was lost they would lose heart and surrender, and es he expected, when they saw th flag flying again, they worked th harder and finally beat all hi-, ships. j. - A ship going into action carrier several flags, the national color;-, which are hoisted in the oiom prominent place, the union jack, the pennant, which is a long nar rowstreamer flying from th. maslheadand a set of signal flag -which are used to send message from one ship to another, i Whea a squadron of vessels, under ou admiral, Or captain, goes into a fight, the ship which has on bdaui the commanding officer is caller the flagship, and flies, besides thu other flags mentioned, one which donates the rank of that officer. In the old days, when war vessel. were made of wood and had thre , masts, most of the flags wen hoisted to tho top of these masts; nowadays, however, many of our flighting' ships have only one mast and several flags may be hoisted upon that, but the stars aud stripes are always at the top Sometimes a flag is hoisted at the end of the yardarm, usually in the case of signal flags. The use of these signal flags in a battle are very important By means of them the commander ot a fleet, from his flagship, cati communicate to the captains oi the other vessels his orders or whatever he thinks they should know. When the squadron is waiting for the enemy's ships, and thev are sighted, the sigual, "prepare for action," is run up on the flag ship. It is also necessary during a battle that the commander di rect the movements of the ships, the same as in aland engagement a general directs the movements of his soldiers. On each ship is stationed a few sailors, who un derstand signals, and who keep their eyes on the flagship to learn what the commander wishes their captain to do. Aboard the flag ship certain sailore are detailed to signal the order the command er wishes to give, and the system has been 'made so perfect that there are seldom mistakes. As every one knows, tie na tionalitv of a ship is toid by the flag which she flies from her masthead. During all the naval wars it has been the custom for the captains of naval vessels to have on board the flags of other countries besides their own, and frequently one of these flags are used to advantage. During ont of the long naval wars between England and some of the other European countries the captain oi a small English war vesse; sighted several big French men of- war, which, did they attack him,-would have either sunk or captured his vessel. France and Spain were fighting against Eng land, so he made haste to pulfrf down the British flag and run. up in its stead a Spanish flagr When the Frenchmen saw the latter flag they did not bother with the little vessel and the Englishman escaped. During the war of 1812 an Eug lish captain made himself a great deal of trouble through fear that some of the sailors on board his ship might pull down his flag be fore he had beaten the enemy. Just before the battle he ordered a sailor to climb to the top of the mast and nail the flag there. The American ship proved the better and before long the Englishman wanted to surrender, but when he wished to pull it down he couldn't. The sailors were busy fighting, so the caotain himself had to climb the mast and tear down the British ensign. There have, been instances where the commander of a ship nailed his flag to the mast arid left it flying there until the ves sel sank; the last object which ap peared tlan fa Constitution.

Only small boats can sail on Currituck Sound, ,because ii j has many shallow places. Many ! men living along the sound "make a business of kiitiugWild fov 1 during the winter, and sending off to cities to co sold. ! Albemarle Sound extends ea and west about tii'ty miles.

Every year they catclr millions of herring and shad and other kinds of fish, Al be marl and Currituck are fresh water sounds. Croatan Sound and Roanoke Sound, on either side of Roanoke Island, connect Albemarle sound with Palmico. They are eight miles long. Croatan Sound is much deeper than Roanoke, and most of the water from Albemark Sound passes through Croatat. Sound to Pamlico. ' ! Palmico Saund is the largest ci all.
