BY WILLIE D. UPSHAW. There is a word I can't explain; It thrills me o'er and o'er. And were it not for its effect My bliss would be no more. Its inspiration, I long have felt; Of it I've often thought; Its prospects I have oft divulged, And this sweet word is "Hope." Its very sound seems to impart Its meaning oh, how great ! Yet to explain would useless be Could we not of it partake. How dull would be this life of ours When adverse clouds do come To know that they would last always No sunshine ever dawn ! How sore when tossed on life's rough By billows, fierce and wild, To have no hope for a bettr time, A season, calm and mild ! How hard when weary hearts and hands Toil with a task undone. To know always -one harder far Awaits to be begun. But how sweet to feel., when we almost faint, And the way seems dark and long, That by and by we'll reach the end And join in the gladsome song. To hope is natural to human kind; It begins in childhood years, And lead, us captives, towards some goal Through mirth and gloom and tears. It is a sweet and blessed balm That makes lifes burdens light. And sheds about our faltering steps Rays that disperse the niht. But best of all, is the Christian s hope. For its possessor not ashamed Crosses are easy for His sake. That a crown in Heaven be gained. It gives a sweet a trusting peace Which passeth understanding; Bids tears to dry sad hearts look up Our lips, our all, commanding. When fade this world's delusive hopes, And fallen lie earth's castles down, Bethlehem's Star grows brighter still, And points us to the waiting crown. Oft do I lie near to despair As I think of iknow," "to-daj-, '' And to persist in such, it seems, Would wear my life away. But ever as these adverse clouds Around me gather dark, There comes from this 'Star of Hope' A shining, cheering spark. It lifts me from the sinking sand On the "Rock of Ages" plants, Where waves may buffie and storms descend, Yet onward I will advance. And 'twill be so oh, blessed thought ! Till time is with me no more, Then liirht mv nath across death's stream To a blissful "evermore." Hope! ah Hope! to thee I'll cling, Let thy Star be dim or brigut; If built on Faith, 'twill ever last nd lead me Home to Light. Sunny South. THE TEACHERS' ASSEMBLY. The Teachers' Assembly of the "Old North State," that will hold its fifth annual session at Morehead City from the 13th to the 29th of June, is one of the most popular and noted educational gatherings in America The good results that this Assembly has accomplished since its organiza ion at Haywood White Sulphur Springs, on the 1 6th of June, 1SS4. ust four years ago, is not to be estimated. "Its prime objects are health, rest, recreation and instruction for the weary teacher, just from the fatigue and discouragements of the school room. It has wonderfully accomplished all the objects, and at the same time wielded an influence which has been seen and felt for good in almost every school in the State." ' By the liberality of the railroad officials and the proprietors of the Atlantic Hotel in Morehead City, the expenses of this most delightful social and professional annual reunion has been reduced to a verv small amount. The railroad fare is only one and a : half cents per mile each way, while the hotel charges are only one dollar per day. Every white teacher in the State that can afford to do so should attend.- Seaboard Reflector. THE CHOWAN DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
