We had intended to "hold up" from . publishing tbo cheering and compli mentary words which from timo to time we receive, but we aro sure our read ers will pardon us for giving the fol lowing from our esteemed and cultured friend, tbo Rev. W. SJ Lacy, Stated Clerk of tbo Sjnod of North Carolina It comes unsolicited by us, and is, there fore, the more warmly appreciated: . - JoXESBOEO, N. C, 13th March, 18S3. Tur. Rev. Jouh R. Bbooks: Rev. and Dear Tiro :l thank you for The Gleaner," for I suppose that it is to your kindness that I have been in debted for its visits. I havo read it always with interest, and enjoyed its freshness and cleanness,, its thorough purity of thought and style, and its elevated moral tone. There is nothing in its pages that could offend the moat scrupulous moral sense. Bright and newsy, it is yet admirable and chaste in its literature, and a thoroughly safe visitor for the homes of ourpeople. It is certainly a capital paper for the fam ilyfor children. I wish you very heartily; and sincerely all success. j Tours fraternally, Wm. 3. Lact. i A gentleman in Mobile, Alabama, in renewing his son's subscription, writes : "It is always welcome newsy, en tertaining and moral, without being prosy or bigoted. I wish you success We .are greatly obliged for these kind words, and hope, by the help of our friends, to make the Gleaner more deserving of the compliments bestowed and the success wished for. viSnotber Strange Dream.1 Our gif$ed correspondent X favors our readers with the relation of what he justly calla "another strange dream." The "youthful dreamer," of whom be speaks, is one of the leading physicians of New be me, who,' wo are sure, would not purposely misstate the facts as they are given by our correspondent The . latter is well known aa a man of letters and a popular lecturer.' It ia proper to say that be ia a layman in a differ ent Cburcn from the one to which the minister of wbom bo speaks in such complimentary terms belonged. It is possible that what we have pub lished about these dreams and the visi tations of angels to the dying beds of saints may bo misinterpreted. There -is not the slightest squinting at the pernicious heresy' of spiritualism. There is no hint at the coming of de parted spirits to commune with us or to supplement God's 'finished revela tion. Bu$ facta aro given which tend only to confirm the Scripture teaching that God may, in rare instances, through dreams, make to man some sort of revelation concerning the fu-tur-a revelation that is confirmatory of rather than contradictory to, the Bible r Also, that the angels meet the saints the threshold of eternity and guide or carry them to the Paradise of God. , J - Lctus not, in our effort to avoid tno error of the spiritualist, and that of the " iinaorant religionist, who looks for as surance of God's favor through a vision of the night, swing to the opposite ex treme of denying that God may mani fest Himself in the ways indicated by theso facta. Let us, rather, in this materialistic age, accept these lntima- tionsof a IivinO cxistente,.a future state, andiho divinity of the Bible " intimation given in rbpbetic dreams and tbo dyiW; testimony !ol eminent iwe' attach no importance to tbo lesson sought to bo taupbt m our scholarly friend's communication, aa a literary production, it ia; well worth a careful perusaL j . Orn Selections. We hope all our boys will read The New Scholar," found on oar first page. That boy was a wise hero. "Wish every boy were like him.

Lady" baa to say for herself and others. Don't overlook our 'Temperance Talk." m MI See a Lioirr I'm Almost Home." An old number of the Waverly Maga zine has tho following touching story of a dying girl: - : ' About her chamber glided gently the loved forms of her parents, and only sister. She Bilently noted their movements with a mild eipression of her dying eye, turning it from side to side. Arrested by her peculiar look. so expressive of aCliction and patient 8uUenng, they paused to look upon her, wbom they only saw dimly through their tears, 'and soon should see no more. A feeble effort to speak, a quivering voiceless movement of the lips, drew closely around her the loving hearts of that sorrowing circle. Mother, father, sister all came closer to her side.. A playful 6milo lit up her countenance. She laid her little pulseless band with in her mother's palm.' then" closed her eyelids to the light of earth, and sunk away. Tho cold damp of death's shad owy valler seemed circling over her. Slowly sinking down, she glided to wards that river's shore, which like a narrow ttream, divides the spirit land from ours. But seel the quivering lips essay to speak ! "Mother !" How each heart throbbed now, and then each pulse stood still. They listen. "Moth er P the dying girl breathes forth "I see a light I'm almost home 1" Bles sed thought! Light is sown for man, even amid tho gloom and darkness of the grave. j Strive to Develop Your Child Slowly. We commend tho following advice and warning of a wise and good man to the parents who arc in a "hurry" for their littlo children to becomo learned: It h an inherent part of the Ameri can character to do things quickly. We can't wait for trees to grow naturally. We roust stimulato them, and then boast how early we made them bear fruit, forgetting that they must decay as early. We can't build a house, we must "run it up." We 'can't build a bridge that will last ages; we must "throw one over the stream," and in a few years see it perish. "We don't'want to bare boys and girls; they must leap from infancy into manhood. We must stimulato tho child, eee bow fast wc can cram and excite the brain, and develop the man in hira. Hence wo must have premature and immature and obscure men -all from the most promising and precocious children. Whereas the jyerftxiion of education is sdoxo development ' When you see tho fond parent trying to show you how "forward" his child is, bow "quick" bo is, bow he excels in his class, and when you see bim.trying to "show off" bis darling,, I beg you to commiserate- the child, and write it down in your book that tbo child will never bo much of a man. 4 That alow, heavy boy, whose skull seems to be so thick that you cannot get an idea into it, will probably develop slowly and long, and will retain every idea that ever gets into his skull. He is the boy that you may expect to mako a strong, manly character. Willows sprout early and grow fast. The oak puts out its leaf late," and grows slowly. The one ia woven into baskets, tbo other ia bolt ed into ships. Don't feel elated be cause your child is precocious; don't feel discouraged because he seems slow to acouiro. In tho end, the turtle al most invariably beats the fox in the race. We could give examples enough to prove this. A Had WaairrHa. Let our boys read the fol lowing "sad. but tender warning, taken from the Greensboro Patriot Young Alley had only a few days before made a profession of faith under tho ministry of the Iter. L. W. Craw ford: A number of boys were engaged in shooting at a mark wi(h an air gun, near Prof. Alder man's residence. Charley Alley, a bright and promising boy, was engaged in fixing the tar get, while John McLean, a youth of thirteen years,' was holding the gund Turning and seeing' the gun pointed ' to wards him, Alley galled to' McLean to'bold it op; but Hardly had the word eacapid from his lips when the noise- lefts bullet pierced his head. He fell senseless and paralyzed. The bullet entered the back of thi head. Young Alley tu taken to Prof. Alderman's residence, and Dm Gregory, Cheek and Hall were sent for. From the na ture of the wound it was impossible to probe for the balL After short while he became conscious, and talked freely to his pastor, the Iter. Mr. Crawford. In referring to the acci dent he Mid it was best that he was the vic- tim. and not another of his comrades. Terri ble and sudden as the call was, he was pre pared to go. A more eloquent 'sermon was never preached by mortal lips than is furnished bj this trying incident. Special Notice.

The Gleaner, A pure family paper, 'of high moral tone, is published " Specially in th.8 Interest cf tho Young. While careful to maintain its strictly non denominational character, it will nevertheless be the constant aim of ita editor to do what he can towsrd saving our youth from the curse of infidelity, intemperance, dishonesty and ir rcTlgion that is abroad in the land. And while be would not raise a finger against any pure religious or secular paper, he hopes to make its columns so bright and attractive that it will prove interesting to the young reader, and do something toward, displacing a vicious lit erature that is being so industriously circula ted among us. . The paper is not by any means what we hope to make it in the early future. Yet it has already been kindly and favorably received by a generous public . The Rev. J. M. Steven son, D. D.. a learned and large-hearted Pres byterian divine, of New York, who has for twenty-five years been Corresponding Becreta tary of the American Tract Society, writes: 'I have spent a little time in getting the tone and spirit of your venture, Thb Glxanxb.

The Newbern Xui says: The Fayette ville Glxanzs, which comes to many of our citizens, is a welcome visitor. We have heard several speak in high terms of this excellent paper." The Rev. E. T. Hodges, pastor of the Meth odist Church in Cheraw, 8. C, writes: "The Gixxxra is quite a favorite among the little ones of the family large ones too." A subscriber writes: "I would not do with out your paper for twice the money that I have paid for if' t Parents have used to us such expressions a the following: It IftVe first paper my daugh ter ever card to read, .
