Human eyes are the com monest and most familiar things that we encounter in every -day lite. lney are even more familiar than the sun. In deed, their light is almost as necessary to our life as tfie light of the sun. We live upon the light that fllows in them that flows from them. We bathe in their brilliancy and love, or wither and die in the misery or hate that they pour forth. The eye is identified with the-soul. And we taken its glances as love or hate, as joy or sorrow, as the soul itself. For it seems to be the throne, the dwelling place, the look-out of the soul. Not long since a philosopher made a study of eyes, not as an oculist, or a medical spec ialist, or a dealer in spectacles, but as a study of human nature. To him the eyes were the win dows of the soul, through which the inner man sees and is seen, studies and is studied. He travelled about the world and made himself familiar with live, present men and women, and the pictures of those of days gone by, of past ages. One of his conclusions was that eyes, in form and expression, and in all essential characteristics, have changed with advancing civilization, and have shown the leavening, purifying influ ence of Christianity. Savag ery, brutality, and sensuality, and folly have given way to kindliness, gentlelness, humani ty, purity, and strong charac ter ; and appetite and passion to temperance, self-control, and wisdom. And the eyes tell the story. This is the average, the gen eral, result, while individuals, in their eyes, manifest their characters, as ruled by sense of spirit. The show and light of their countenances, witness for or against them. No matter how you regard them, the eyes are a beautiful and profound study. Their brightness means life ; their dullness means inanity and death. As the eyes is an organ of the body, so its clearness, bright ness, and beauty comes with general health, and the dullness and deadness comes with the re verse. It is not to be wonder ed at that the most delicate, beautiful, and honorable organ of our system should suffer seri ously with general disorder. Everv man knows how much his sight" is affected by indigestion and by other special affections nay, by special food. The glazed and stupid eye of a drunkard is a painful sight, and the blank heaviness of the glut ton's eye is equally as offensive. Oiv the other hand, the clear, bright eye of the healthy, wide awake man is beautiful and in spiring.

Beauty of soul gives beauty and brilliancy to the eye, and comes of feeding on things true, honest and just, pure, lovely, and of good report. Through the eye souls mingle in mutual enjoyment, or meet in dire conflict. It was the language of Heav en that proclaimed the truth : If thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light, and if thine eye be evil thy whole body shall be dark. If the lio-lit that is in thee be dark ness, how great is that dark ness. A Philosophical Friend in Richmond Dispatch. Eden 's Flower.

Southern Pines, in Moore county, this State, is a typica . T . Northern community. it was built, is settled and is governed by people from the Northen and New Entrland States, and it is interesting to know how the ne gro is treated there. Dr. Edwin Gladman, a physician of Wash ington City, is conducting a sanitarium at Southern Pines, and in Washington, a few days ago, he said to a Post reporter : "I am in a North Carolina town which is altogether out side the zone of race disturb ances. It is equal to Washing ton Irving's Sleepy Hollow, for freedom from bloodshed and disturbance, and also affords a very good illustration of how circumstances alter cases. Southern Pines was founded by Eastern capitalists as a resort for invalids, and luindreds go there every-winter seeking res toration of health. Its found ers, notwithstanding their birth-place and traditions, did not allow any sentimental no tions about the negroes to en ter in their plans. No negro is allowed to live or do business in Southern Pines. They are all congregated in a place called "Jimtown," and when the visit the town proper, are models of The Confederate pensioners ' quiet and orderly behaviour People and Their Movement.

From these he shall make an abstract stat ing the number of ballots cast for each candidate, the names of all the persons voted for, for what offices they received the votes, the number of votes each received, and whom, by such count, he ascertains to be elect ed to the office which said ab stract he shall sign in his offi cial capacity, and cause the seal of the State to be affixed thereto. Section 54 says: "That jus tices of the Supreme court, judges of the superior court, and solicitors, shall be commis sioned by the governor, and their terms of office shall begin the first day of January next succeeding their election. An election of officers, whose terms shall be about to expire, shall always be held at the general elections next preceding the ex piration of their terms of office. In case the returns fail to ar rive, the following provision is made in section 51 : "That if the abstracts or re turns from any county shall not be received at the office of the secretary by the third Mon day after election, the said sec retary is authorized to obtain from the register of deeds, or from the clerk, the original ab stracts or returns of such coun ty, or copi' of them, if the originals It v b en foi-vvarded.
