Sunday at Home. ROGER AT THE TROUGH. We are jogging homeward, Roger, In the dusk, thedusk of day; While the thrushes in the hedges Make a music all the way. "We are on the steady up-grade Where the single pine tree shows With a star among lis orancnes, With a star that glows and glows. We are drawing nearer, Roger; Now we hear the waters froth As they break in little gushes - To the mossy wayside trough. Ah, you hear the waters, Roger, In their crystal cooling flow; As they wander from the ridges To the valley green below. "JThey are telling of the bluebells Veiling dim a tiny thread jAs It makes a way of silver ' O'er the brooklet's babbling bed, 'They are singing of the ledges Gray against the distant hill; ' They are singing of the river As the mossy trough they fill. LKow your check is loosened, Roger! You may low'r your faithful head; Tou may bathe your velvet nostrils In the light the stars have shed. You may have your fill of glory Shining in the evening skies, IFor a host, a constellation In the limpid darkness He3. Ah, you breathe above the waters .- As they murmur and they froth.

Perhaps no children have ever, before regarded school as so great a. privilege.

Now this statue has been openly and shamelessly violated in this coanty repeatedly. If the law is not a good one, it should be repealed; If it is good, public officers should let nothing cause them to violate It. When a commissioner sells as a private Individual to himself as a public officer, the public funds are in a fair way to suffer from the trans action. The Enterprise doea not feel call ed upon to designate names and par ticulars because it would rather see such methods discontinued and let by-gones be by-gones; but if it is not stopped, j-and if sworn grand jurors and officers of the law continue to wilfully shut their eyes to such things, we will 4e forced to put con crete facts before the people and fry the case at the bar of public opinion. A word to the -wise should be suf ficient. This infernal winking and overlooking for political considera tions is hard lj expected to promote the public good. This is the law which the Fish Commissioner of North Carolina vio lated by, hiring his own office and his own boat to the State and which the authorities shamefully condoned. With such an example can we won der that county officers disregard the law?
