"The boneless tongue, so small and weak, Can crush and kill,1' declared the Greek. "The tongue destroys a greater horde," The Turk asserts, "than does the sword. " The Persian proverb wisely saith, 4 A length'ly tongue an early death." Or sometimes takes this form instead, "Don't let your tongue cut off your head " "The tongue can speak a word whose speed," Says the Chinese, "outstrips the steed." While Arab sages this impart, "The tongue's great storehouse is the heart." From Hebrew wit the maxim sprung. "Though feet should slip ne'er let the tongue. " The sacred wiiter crowns the whole, "Who keeps his tongue doth keep his soul." Galveston News. A RELIGIOUS CARD-PLAYER. A soldier named Richard Lee, was taken before the Magistrate at Glassgow for playing cards during divine services The account is thus given in the En glish Journal The sergeant commanded thesoUiiers at the church, when the parson ha ..! read the prayers, he took the text Those who had a Bible took it out, but this soldier had neither Bible nor Common Prayer Book, but pulling out a pack of cards he spread them out before him. He looked first at one card and then at another. The sergeant of the company saw him and said : "Richard, put up those cards." "Never mind that." said Richard. After the services were over the Con stable took Richard, prisoner, and car ried him before the Mayor. "Well," said the Mayor, ' what have you brought the prisoner here for?" "For playing cards in church " "Well, Soldier, what have you to say for yourself?" "Much, sir, I hope." "Very good, if not I will punish you severely." "I have been," said the soldier, "about six weeks on the march, and have had neither Bible nor Common Prayer Book, I have nothing but a pack of cards, and I hope to satisfy your worship of the purity of my in tention." Spreading the cards out before the Mayor, he began with the ace. "When I see the ace it reminds me that there is but one God. When I see the deuce it reminds me of the Fatber ana Son. The tray reminds me of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. The four reminds me of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, the four Evan gelists that preached. The five reminds me of the five wise virgins that trimmed their lamps; there were ten, but five were wise and five were foolish, and were shut out . . .1 . 1 xue six. remiuus mai iu oia uojo God created heaven and earth.

N. C FRIDAY. April 12. 1889. never There were nine out of ten who returned thanks. The ten reminds me of the Trn Com mandments which were handed down to Moses on the tables of stone The King reminds me of the Great King of heaven which is God Almighty. The Queen reminds me of the Queen of Sheba. who visited Salomon, for she was as wise a woman as he was a mar. She brought fifty boys and fifty girts all dressed in boys apparel, for King i-ol-omon to tell which were boys an I whieh wer3 girls. The King sent for water to be brought for them to wash. The girls washed to their elbows ami the boys only to their wrists; ?o King Solomon told by that." "Well," said the Mayor, "you have described every card in the pack but one" "What is that?" "The knave," said the Mayor. "I will give your honor a description of that too, if you will not be angry " "I will not," said the Mayor, "if you do term me the knave." "The greatest knave I know of is the Constable who brought me here " "I do not know." said the Mayor, 'if he is the greatest knave, but he is the biggest fool." "When I count how many spots there are in a pack of cards, 1 find three hundred and sixty five, as many days as there are in a year. I count the number of cards in a pack I find fifty two, the number of weeks in a year. 1 find there are twelve picture cards in a pack, representing the number ol months in a year, and on counting the tricks I find thirteen, the number of weeks in a quarter So you see a pack of cards serves me as a Bible, Common Prayer Book and Almanac."

The transition from long, lingering and painful sickness to robust health marks an epoch in the life of the indi vidual. Such a remarkable event is treasured in the memory and the agency whereby the good health has been at tained is gratefully blessed. Hence it is that so much is heard in praise of Electric Bitters. Se many feel they owe their restoration to health to th? use of the Great Alterative and Tonic If you are troubled with any disease of Kidneys, Liver or Stomach, of long or short standing vou will surelv find relief " - J ; uy use oi jLiectric cutters- oom at ovc ; land SI per botlle at Dr. W.

THE EXODUS QUESTION The Baptist I Hot, a newspaper, published as the "Organ of the ( d. .red MJix y 1 1 ' ' ' ' 1 I'Urm VMVIilHI, ill 4 Oil, ' editorially says : "The colored exodus from this Slate is assuming gigantic proportion, and more than ten thousand have recently left to seek new homes in the tar South and est. Agents are employed to go from place to place, and induce the colored people to leave, promising them betier situations and homes elsewhere. Wc hive not a word to say against any man's efforts to better his ei ndition but we fear that the "promised Isnu" held ont to our people away South is not so productive of milk and honey as , agents tell them it is. If they a.e j going to Mississippi expecting to find the law more equitably administered thev will certainly he mistaken. It is ; certainly a hard State on the colored i man. The soil may be more fertile than our soil, yet it is owned by the whites, and a colored man will stand a bad chance to get it. We disapprove of the general emigration scheme, and think it detrimental : the good of the neonlc. The best, wav fnr a cchiren man to get recognition and a good home is to get education, wealth self- respect and manhood there will be no trouble to et men to respect jou. But it after deliberation, considera tion, you conclude that sonic other sec tion of this conn ry offers you beiter advantages for social, material and religious development, and you can offord to migrate without serious disad vantage to yourself and family j you ought to ac-ept your new home. But leaving, not knowing whither you are going and scarcely nothing of the peo ple, is bad policy; and leaving Nor.h Carolina to go to another Southern State seems to us like going out of purgatory into torment. HIS BUSINESS BOOMING. Probably no one tiling has caused such a general revival of trade at Dr. W. J Leary's Drugstore as his giving away to his customers of so many free trial bot tles of Dr King's New Discovery for Consumption. His trade is eirnply enormous in this very valuable article from the fact that it always cures and never disappoints. Coughs, Colds, Asthma, Bronchitis. Croup, ana all throat and lung diseases quickly cured. You can test it before buying by getting a trial bottle free, large size, 51 00. Every bottle warranted.
