Tho wrll never lookl so :harrulng-, As on one sultry tay, When sanirutT show rs were iiaasliiK From wedttrii Hkien away, And In the cloul retiring, A lovely haw was t. With hues of huaven liemliiiK, With tears of pity wet. A lonely heart waa failing. She sat with drooping er-, Bnt gloom become a terror. And far Into the skies, She gr zed a weary longing, For bitter was her cup: O, lovely "Bow of Frotalsol" Why did I not look up? There's thorns among the rosea; There's bitter in the Hweet; Tia always after battles, That friends in fos we meet; Tia after clouds, the sunshine Will rnelt the ic away; Tli darkest hour of night-time Is Just before the day; The sweetest happy meetings Come after absence long; Tia hopes, and fears, and aoubtings That makes the faiut heart strong; Tin love that's borne in sorrow That gives the sweetest sup; There's yet a bright tomorrow. For these who will look up. WONDERS OF A GREAT RAILROAD. The principal railroad lines of England are the London and North western, the Midland, the Great Northern, the Manchester, Sheffield " and Lincoln the Northeastern, the Southeastern, the Great Western, the Great Eastern, the Brighton and South Coast and the London, Chat-J ham and Dover, with their associated branches. Of these, perhaps the greatest, is the London and Northwestern, the Northwestern territory extends from London to Carlisle on the north bor. der, and from Cambridge in the east to Swansea and Hollyhead on the west. Over G0,000 employes receive pay from this corporation, and the reve nue from various sources amount to upward of 10,000,000 a year. ' . At Crewe, the headquarters of the system, over 2.500 engines receive at- j tentum every da. The railroa i works in this towjii are of every character for the Northwestern is the proprietor of a canal as well a railroad and in the works are made bridges an i boats pumps, chaius, cars in short, every- I thing a railroad may need, down to ! artificial arms and legs for .the bene ! fit of such employes as may be in Ijnred. J The Northwestern makes its own ! rails and builds its own engines, I which by the way, are paixted black, for the reason that several parts of the engines which by other roads are made of wrought iron and polished are by the Northwestern made of cast iron and painted. The Northwestern has :,000,000 invjsted in locomotives, which put a birdie round the earth every four hours, and with such care is the road I managed that only once in every al I tcrnatc trip round the world is there 1 evidence so small a mishap as the ! looseding of a bolt. This road owns, among others en gines, the famous "Cornwall," one of the oldest engines in the world. It was exhibted in 1851, is still in ac tive service, and with its 8 foot G in wheels from a curious contrast to the 'Nipper," a little switch engine, one of the many that shift the cars to and fro in the company's yards. Once in every five days an old en gine is withdrawn, to be replaced by one brand new, and among other 1- i comotives are more than 100 com pound engines which economize in fuel some five or six pounds to the mile; not much, to be sure, but an item with a road whose engines run 40,000,000 miles per anura with an aunual coal bill of 300.000. The other railroads in England so closly resemble in their main features the Northwestern and the Midland as not to merit particular description. Amonc the odd items of expense incurred by the Midland is that of j the meat for eight ca's, which with j 500000 corn sjeks, the property or the load, and the holes which are eaten by the rats which are not eaten bv the cats, are darned by twelve women. St. Louis Globe Pemoerat. TO PATRONS AND FRIENDS OF PROGRESSIVE INSTITUTE.' Special Cor. Harnett Courier. Before commencing the discharge of the duties of the trying position of teacher, I sm persuaded through the hope of our mutual benefit, to speak to you through the columns of the Courier in regard to the relation be tween the teacher and patrons of a school. No man is independent. He may have the wealth of a Vanderbilt, the heart and head of a Gladstone but without the help of hi3 fellowman they are useless instruments in his hands. His wealth cannot dig in the mines tur the spindles in a factory, or till the soil without the labor of others. His knowledge and eloquence cannot purify corrupt government without the votes ot his fellow citizens. Now as I come into your midst as the teacher of your children it is well for us to remember that we both have duties to perform, as well as rights to contend for. Among the most important duties of an instructor of youth, are the following. First. After having thorrughly prepared himself mentally he should not be devoid of any of those sterl ing qualities that make up the chris tian character A high sense of honor to inspire the minds of boys and girls with a landable ambition to excel in doing good. The moral courage to do without fail what sound judgment and a live conscience suggest should be done. Second. The teacher should furn ish a living, daily example of indus try and patience. Industry to exe cute and patience to wait for results. The noblest beings on earth, in my opinion, is he who, by constant care and watchfulness, ha3 so exercised and trained his faculties, that amid the noise and confusion that often arise along life's past way, he moves steadily onward, performing day af ter day, month after month and year alter year, his duty to God and man. Third. The teacher should be just. I in no department of industry is a high sense of what is right and pro per so peculiarly necessary as in the school room. Nothing is so disgusl ii' and conteraptable to the mind of a pupil as favoritism and "Vice Versa." Of the duties of Patrons may be mentioned the following : ' Fir9t to manifest confidence in the teacher's honesty of purpose. When any arrangement has been made (for instance, in classifying) that does not meet their approval, no expression of dissatisfaction should be made until the teacher has been consulted. Second, to heartily cooperate with the teacher in impressing the minds of their children with the importance of perfect obedience and to urge them to close and persistent study at home as well -as in the school room. A little care in making provision for study at home greatly promotes tho progress of the pupil. Third. To train the children to be regular and prompt in attending. In order to make the best possible use of his time and skill, the teacher must, by careful grading, put his pu pils into classes. If one member fails to attend even one recition, he not only suffers a loss, but hinders the other members. Now if we un derstand each other, and do our whole duty we shall have a god school. D. B.

That blue ointment and kero sene mixed in equal proprotions and applied to the bedsteads is an unfail ing, bed Dug remedy as a coat of whitewash is for the walU of a log house. 8.

Saturate a woolen rag and rub with it. It will also remove stains fro n varnished furniture. 10. That cool rain water aad soda will remove machine grease from washable fabrics. The Siinitariaii, Petar Glass' Hog. Railroad men tell a pretty good thing on a hog owned by Peter Glass, Peter lives along the Richmond & DanvilU line, about 5 miles north of Concord, and he owns a hog that is working off its superfluous flesh daily in chasing the watermelon trains. Every time a watermelon tra'n comes along the hog puts out after it and goes squea.iug along at its level besi jjait until the train leaves him out of8ight. For all his running, he hasn't had a watermelon yet. Peter ought to turn him into some neigh boring patch, Charlotte Ntv:s. A Big Anvil- The argest anvil is that used iu the Woolwich arsenal, England. It weights sixty tons. The anvil block upon which it rest, weighs 103 tons. Altogether GOO tons -f iron were u?ed in the anvil, the block ami t!;e foundation work. It is said to have been six mo Uhs coo'ing before it was sufficiently hard to stand the shock of the immense hammer. Blaine's physical condition i3 again a national issue, and the hygienic prevaricator will be in clover until the matter agiin drops into oblivion. The question is this: Is Blaine a iive issue or a tlead issue? Watch the reports from Bar Harbor. The Raleigh Ckronicle, which fa vors the repeal of the Internal Reve nue law, was candLl enough, in a recent issue, to say this: ""Wc had as well iook at matters as they stand. North Carolina and Virginia are the only States where the people want the Internal Revenue laws repealed. We have fought and do fight for this repeal. The Democratic party in the nation ha3 not promised to repeal it." This is true, every word of it. Star. The Mississippi Democrats decided to let the present Governor be "The 1 . 1 !
