Whose hearts are kind and true;

And awaits my spirit too;

for the task my God assigned rue,
For the bright hopes yet to find me
And the good that I can do.
i live to learn their story
Who suffered for my sake;
To emulate their, glory,
And follow in their wake;

The heroic of all ages,
Whose deeds crowd history's pages j
And time s great volume make.
I live to hold communion

To leei there is a union ;
Twixt Nature's heart and mine;
To profit by affliction,
Reap truth from fields of fiction,
Grow wiser from conviction,
Fulfill God's grand design,
I live to hail that season
By gifted ones foretold,
When men shall live by reason,
And not alone" by gold;
When mau to mau united,
And every wrong thing righted,
The whole world shall :e lighted,
As Eden was of old.
I live for those who love me,
For those wuo know me true.
For the heaven they smile above me
And awaits my coTiing too;

For the wrong that needs resistance
For the future in the distance,

IMS GOAT COMES BACK.

The St Louis Republic tells the
loliowiug ator - f a goat that al
ways came back.
P. M. Kiely, a Third street com
mission man, is waxing rich on
the proceeds of the sales c fa goat.
and therehy hangs a tale, al-j
though the daudal appendage of
this particular animal is very
short.
Several months ago Mr. Kiely
received frouj one one of his ship
pers in the country a lean and
huujry goat, with instructions to
sell it for whatever it would bring
The animal was tied to a post
n front o the storj, a-al wihj iu
Mr. Kiely's possession elraved
itself in a ijerfectiy becoming

i t was of "lad y ' ' goat, that Felix
Scalzo, a prominent fruit import
er, couceived the idea that it
would be a nice thing for his chil
I ren to play with. He spoke to
Mr. Kiely, and the latter, on ac
count of lean condition of the ani
nal. sold it to him for $2.50
Mr. Scalzo took his perchase
home and his child rcn were de
lighted, A wagon was purchas
ed and the goat was soon taught
o work in harness, but on being
, reed to work it was discovered
hat this particular goat had a
haractor peculiar to itself, and a
vviil of its own.
The auimal was penned in a shed
which it proceeded to demolish,
md after it had obtained its free
dom it began to devour every
ihiug .-'iu .sight. finishing. up with
fhe family washing, which was
ringing on the line to dry.
When this became monotonous
it amused itself by knocking
iowu the children and butting
n)trds o!T the back fence.
Af if ii the
goat had made the
ivs of M . Scalzo and his fami'y
niserable for some time, Mr
Scalzo tof .k the goat back and sold
to Mr. Kiely again for $1 and
considered himself in luck at
hat.
Miss Nannie, as soon as she
;oucd herst If again tied iu front
if Mr. Kiely's store, became very
docile and again assumed an air
of verdaat innocence, and so well
lid she lay her part that Mr.
Kitdy was sou ab'o to dispose of
I her to a contractor by the name
of McDonald, who" lives in the
western iart of : he city, for $3
The latter was well pleased with
his purchase, bat the goat wink-!

The anitrai. which had now a

fiuence of Mr, Kiely, again resum
ed its look of innocence and in a
few days succeeded in winning
its way into the affections of an
old lady who happened to be pass

conscience had by this time be
come somewhat elastic, and he
blandly told the lady that such a
nice fat goat was surely cheap at
$3.50, and the ..nimal was again
disposed of.
I a le.ss than two weeks the old
iady returned with the goat and
said it was a "veritable fiend in

take the goat back and give th

"several better," Mr. James WY
Tufts of Boston, Mess., the we'll
known soda water apparatus man
i facturer, went down to see what
attracted so many Yankees to the
Southern Pines, N. C. region.
He saw there a town of fine ho
tels. handsome homes, beautiful
farms and profitable vineyards,
and inside of ten days after his
arrival he had purchased six
thousand acres of land near the
town- He employed the best
landscape engineers, laid the
grounds out and then commence
ed. a great work, Hundreds of
carpenters and laborers were em
played, building roads, parks;
electric car lines, lakes, hotels,
houses, deer parks, and in fact
everything that money could
build. This work has been kept
up, until today this mau has built
one of the most unique and hand
someplaces iu the world; with its
operahouses resteaurants, and
everything to amuse and interest
The best part f this work, is
that this big hearted man is not
doing this solely for his owi.
pleasure, but he is entertaining
at about actual cost, hundreds of
doctors, lawyers ministers and
teachers, who could not afford to
pay high rates for rent of cottag
eaand hotel charges. Mr. Tufts
is in no way working this enter
prise to make money: he sells no
lands or iots. His great pleasure
is to draw around him hundreds
of Northern people from his na
tive section during the winter
months, and see ther: enjoy them
selves and gain health at the
same time.
What a happy world this would
be, if there were more men like
Mr. Tufts, who is constantly plan
ning how he can add pleasure to
some one else's lif v besides him
self and family. Pullman built
his city for his own financial bene
tit. Vanderbuilt bought lands, and
vuilv. his place for his own pleas
nrer; but Mr. Tufts built his
Southern city with its handsome
hotels, comfortable boardinghcus
es and scores of cottages for the
pleasure of the people. In the
final day of reckoning James W.
Tufts, the wealthy New England

Denarimsnt at Washington: re
warding th st-arciiy of meat in
the German Empire:
k 1 believe there is hard! v a
tlar. in th. ftprman Fmniro
whVre tht- scarcity of meat is
more apparent than in the city of
Strassburg. Having a popula
tion, according to the ceusi sof
1895, of 135.000, which increased
American meats have been uo
j fortunate; the more so because at
the same time th home supply
has been curtailed by the pre va
lance of different sicknesses
among cattle, hogs, etc
In consequence of the scarcity
of meats of all kinds, pricas are
high Beef costi from 14 to 33
cents
a pound; pork, from 13 to
cents; mutton, from 12 to 36
cents per pound, according to
quality and cut. Poultry, game,
etc.. are so expensive that only
the wealthy can afford them
Many families are compelled to
forego the use of meat entirely,
or to adopt horseflesh as a sub
stitute for those generally used:
The consumption of horse meat
has grown in all p-arts of the coun
try. According to figures given
bv the statistical bureau of the
city of Strassburg, there were
slaughtered in 1896, 822 ho rses
and mules; in 1897, 899; and in
1898, 1.099. The killing is done
at the public slaughterhouse.
The price of horse meat is also
going up, steadily; it ranges now
from 6 to 8 cents per pound.
Living aud Loving.
To "cese. loving is to cease liv
ing; for who does not love, simply
stays, to fill up its-place, as a rock
fills its place. Amiel. in his Jour
ual says, "If we are to remain
among the living there must be a
perpetual revival of youth within
us. " To be thorough! alive and
to secure this pe. petuaT revival
of youth within us, we must, in
heart, mingle with those around
us, that we may be both cheered
by 'their gladnessand made ten
derand sympathetic by their sor
row. thus keeping open achannel
for the free exercise of loving
helpfulness toward others. In
this way we get out of self and
avoid stagnation
Nothing is lo-t. but much may
be gained, by loving and helpful
children. To see through a
child's eyes and feel with a child's
heart insures a fresher and
brighter view of life and thing..

- Both Mu?t Advertise.
The old notion thai any busi
ness can be thoroughly success
ful without advertising, has beet
pretty nvell exploded in most
communities.
If a business needs advertising
to be successfu' how much more
necessary it must be for an
townor city to adopt the same
pr.;ces. and thoroughly advertise
itself.
Some merchants fla'ter them
selves that everv one knows
what kind of goods they handle
and keep in stock, therefore
there is no need of spending
money for advertising.
There are some towns with su
perior local advantages, such as
being natural points, geographi
cally, for communication with
the outsine world by railroad and
water toutes; also there may bo a
good surrounding country, pro
duciug large farm supplies for
market around these cities so
that, slf-satisfied, their rpeople
do nothing in the way of adver
tising these advantages, but like
the nonadvertising merchant, the
people say every one knows all
about our place and the good sen
sible capitalists and emigrant
will come here anyway, so what
is the use of spending money for
advertising.
Self deluded and self deceived
mere' ant and community, for the
world of progress and education
is not of your mind! i
Continue to sit down surround
ed "bj your goods and by your
natural advantages, and iMicaw
ber like wait for the buyer and
the investor to come, and he will
nevercomei i
This is an age which demands
publicity, and the merchant or
town which sits down and does
not advertise or make known it
wares and attractions buries it
self, while the great tide of hu
man progress, with its bustling
prosperity and growth passes
around it, aud the dust of time
gradually covers up and buries
the self satisfied merchant and
community, who living and dying
are totally unaware that the
world does move. New Berne

How to Raise Large Hogs.
The largest
hog that we have
heard of having been killed in
Chatham last winter, wa? one kill
ed by Mr. J. H. Whittington. of
Williams township, Ayhich was
eighteen months old and weigh
ing 615 pounds. He says that
this hog was one of a litter of sev
en pigs, two of which he kept in a
pen all the time and the other fiv
he turned out on the range. One
of the two (whieh had been kept
up) was-killed when seven months
o!d and weighed 174 pounds,
a d the other wheheignteen
months old weighed 615, but the
heaviest one of the five that were
turned out weighed only 290
pounds y:hen killed at eighteen
months old. Therefore he thinks
it pays better to keep up hogs
than o turn them loose Pittsbo

Pay Your Small Bills.
Men who would never think of
allowing a note or large account to
stand open are too frequently car
less in regard to small accounts.
A.fter ; all, says a writer in one of
the trade journals, we are judgerU
by small things, and what good it
it if a man meets his bauk obliga
tions promptly and he causes a
number of peoplo to whom be owe
petty accounts to go about talking
of how hard it is to get him to pay
up. Be as particular about the lit
tie accounts a the big ones- Do
not snub a collector because he
calls for a small account when it
is due. It is vour fault that ho
has to call. Some people resent
either being drawn upon or called
upon for a small bill. They forget
it is the other man who h is to stand
the expense and trouble oi collect
ing. Be als as prompt in collect
mg your own accounts as in paying
others. If tho losses made each
year by small debt, neglected be
cause they are sinMl, could be re
covered, there would be haudscme
dividends in business. Ex.
Pensions! Pensions!
Are due to many who served in
in war of Eebcllion and war with
Spain and is also due to all whoserv
ed in Mexican War, and Old Indian
Wars between 1832 and 1842.
Pensions under general laws may
be obtained by soldiers and sailors
who are in any way disabled by rea
sou of wounds, injury, or disease
incurred in duty, U. S service and
in line of duty, provided they have
received a proper discharge from
their service.
Widows, children, and dependen
parents are entitled, if soldier's
death was due to service, U. S. reg
ulars and seamen who have served
and been discharged since the war
are entitled, providing they have
been disabled as herein before stat
ed, Their widows and dependent j ar
uts are also entitled.
A pension can be increased atany
iimo that tht disability warrants it.
U. S Colored Troops, their wid
ows and minor children are also en
titled. , No pension granted hereafter shall
be less than $G per month, .
Having secured an agency for Pen
sions, if you have the least idea of
being entitled to a pension jcu had
better protect such idea, by calling
and seeing me, as I am in a position
to advise you as to such.
Remember there are no fees for
working your claim, unless success
ful, therefore it costs gou nothing
