If your preacher is not quite up to tbe measure of the stature of your ideal ; if he is not so elegant as Robertsoa, or enter taining as Beecber, or eloquent as Brooks; if be lacks somewhat on tbe social side, and is a little slow and awkward in mak ing friends, tbe poorest of all remedies is criticism or censure. For all ordinary ministerial failings an ounce of coopera tion is worth a pound of criticism : a gill of sympathy more than a gallon of cen sure. Any sincerely pious man of ordi nary talents can be made into an efficient, successful pastor by a congregation : and any man, however good and gifted, can be made a failure by the congregation. A congregation may be known by the sort of pastors it makes.

Dec. 2, 1892. Konsenw In Teaching. ! With all our moaern improvements in education there is much to be condemned. There is much in our schools that is practically of no benefit to anyone. Tbe only object accomplished is the killing of time. Much or the so-called busy work is only that much nonsense. Kecently we visited a school. Upon entering the room we found the teacher in tbe midst ot a recitation in brammar. We listened awhile, and what do you suppose we heard ? bat is a noun ?" i "A name word."' That was enough to disgust us. In quick succession followed tbe Questions and answers : "What is a verb ?" "An action word." "What is an adverb?" A when, where or how word." "What is a preposition T "A relation word." and so the nonsense continued.' Why was it that; these children were not correctly taught as to these parts of I speech ? It takes no longer for a child to , ieXTn what a noun. is-.. than to be told it is a name word. Don't you suppose the child questions as to what kind of a name it is? What sort of action a verb is, right or wrong, backaction or what? And as to tbe relation word tbe child doesn't know whether the relation is male or female. Much so called language training is only a burlesque, and had better be put out of schools altogether. Every child in tbe land knows what a cat, a dog, a horse, a cow is long before they go to school. Why spend days in telling them tb.Lt the one mews, the other barks, one runs, and tbe other gives us tbe milk so greatly enjoyed by all children ? Why not tell a child that a doggie is a dog, a pussy is a cat, a horsy is a horse and a bossy is a cow ? Children are not idiots or fools. They, oftentimes have more brains thau those who attempt to teach them. lhe (schoolmaster. A Surprised "Citizen." Citizen, in the Danville Register ex presses surprise at tbe misquotation ot tbe scripture, made by the lawyers in tbe Clark trial some of whom be Bays, are prominent among the teachers in the Sunday School. If this gentleman, whoever he may be, will take tbe pains to find out, be will soon discover that very tew persons can quote scripture accurately. If there be any portions of tbe bible which ought to be committed to memory accurately, it is the Lord's prayer, and yet not one in a hundred can repeat it verbatim. Many of the preachers even. Bay trespasses when tbe word, in one place, is "sins" and, in the other, '"debts." A great many say who art in heaven, instead of "which, and on earth instead of "in earth." They say too, "forever and ever. The and ever is not in the prayer at all. Danville 1 imes.

The Parrot Liked to Cough. Whooping cough has been uncomfort- i ably intrusive in this city. In one family up town three children were afflicted with that ailment at the same .time. They coughed and coughed and coughed,' j and the family pet, an intelligent parrot, took it into his bead to imitate tbem. Whenever any one of the children coughed, he would accompany it with a coughing paroxysm so natural that it was I impossible to tell whether it was one of tbe children or the parrot that was coughing. The bird seemed to enjoy having tbe whooping cough, and alter awhile he clamored for medicine when ever ho saw that it was being adminis tered to the children. New York Times.

TURLINGTON, WOODALL & BROWN. March 10, 1893. - Great Seal of the United States. The device for the great seal of the United States was adopted by .Congress on June , 20, 1782. ", It was designed .by William Barton, Esq., of Philadelphia, at the request of the Secretary of Congress, unaries lnompson Its heraldic descrip-1 tion ia A.R fhllntfta?- : ' ' -: t Arms Pale ways of 13 pieces, argent and gules, a chief, azure; tbe escutcheon on the breast of the American bald beaded eagle displayed. Tbe eagle holds in his dexter talon an olive branch and in his sinister a bundlo of arrows. In his beak beholds a scroll inscribed "E Pluribus TJnum." Over the head of the eagle, which appears above , the escutcheon, a glory, or sun breaking through a cloud, this surrounded . by 13 stars, forming a constellation argent on an azure field. Reverse-A pyramid unfinished. In the zenith an eye in a triangle surrounded by a glory. Over;,the "eye the words "Annuit Cteplis."- On ' the base o? the pyramid these numeral letters, MDCCL XXVI., and underneath tbe motto "Novus ordo Seclorum.". In giving tbe above description of the great seal of our country I have elimi nated as much of the heraldic language as possible, thereby, in my own estimation at least, rendering it more acceptable to tbe average reader. ' ' Tbe sy mbolism of the device is, that 13 original States are represented by the 13 pieces in the paly, all joined so as to ap pear solid, compact and entire, supporting a chief, which is the symbol of Congress. The colors of the pales are those of the United States flag. White denotes purity and innocence: red. hardness and valor : blue, perseverance and justice. Peace and war are symbolized by tbe olive branch and the arrows in-the eagle's talons, lhe unfinished pyramid is in terpreted in two different ways, viz : To be a symbolism of strength and solidity, also as representation of tbe unfinished union of State, there always being room at tbe top for more States, or for adding more blocks to tbe pyramid of strength. The overlooking eye and itB motto, annuit coeptis (He favors our endeavors) alludes to the overruling and all-wise Providence. Globe Democrat. Catching; and Kissing Ballets. Many and many thrilling stories of marvelous and hairbreadth escapes have been related of the late civil war but probably none more wonderful than the two incidents we give below as furnished by a participant in tbe Nez Perce Indian war of 1877 known as the Cottonwood fight. "F. A. Fenn had a bullet cut four holes in his patloons without drawing blood, and one burned both lips and loosened a front toon. This was kissing a bullet in reality. About one week later I was running a race with some fifteen or twenty -Indians ; the goal was a small mound ; whoever reached the mound first could bold it. We bad Borne friends coming on the trail, which passed just at tbe foot of the mound. Tbe horse I was riding was quite fast; I had got a hundred yards or 60 ahead of my companion and stopped to take a shot At an Indian. After I shot I jumped on my horse, just as a young fellow came up. We were on the move, when he said, "Lew, I'm shot" I asked him if he was hurt bad. He said, "No, I have caught the bullet." "All right," said I. "Put it in your pocket." I let my horse run, and soon left him, for 1 had tbe trail and tbe Indians had the grass. I reached the foot of the mound when the nearest Indian was about 150 yards, from the foot on his side. The mound was tolerable steep and about 150 feet bigb. I let my horse climb as fast as be could. When I reached tbe topi jumped off: and the Indians were on tbe run to get out of the reach, of my long range Remington. I opened fire and kept it up as long as they were in Bight. VV ben tbe excitement was over the young fellow showed me. where he had been shot. The ball had just grazed his arm, making a blue streak about five inches long, and had . struck his gun barrel (where it screws into the frame) and had raised a dent on the in side of the barrel as large as a pea; it then glanced and fell into his left hand The sun was ruined, but it saved his life. The shot had been fired at me, as the young fellow had not been in Bight for an instant. mm. a m M 1 tell you those bullets that are out ot those Government guns, with 70 grains powder and 45 grains lead, are, dangerous things to be kissing and catching, mo, thank you, I don't want to be around when there are any more flying. Onb Wat to Km as Umbeilla.- An up-town man who carries a nice silk umbrella on rainy days has the handle so adjusted that he can slip it off and put it in bis pocket when be deposits the umbrella in a rack among others in public places. He says he never troubles himself about losing tbe umbrella, as no one who should see tbe umbrella without a handle would suppose it worth stealing, anyhow. Philadelhhia ICecord. A horse that would break the trotting record to two minutes would command an almost fabulous sum, yet tbe world at large would profit by it about as much as if some horse could be taught to walk on his hind legs or climb a tree. It. W. Agriculturist. . ' Happy Hooslers. -Wm. Timmons, Postmaster of Idaville, Ind., writes : Electric Bitters has done more for me than all other medicines com bined, for that bad feeling arising from Kidney and Liver trouble." John Leslie, farmer and stockman, of same place, says: "Find Electric Hitters to be tbe best Kidney and Liver medicine, made me feci like a new man." J. W. Gardner, hardware merchant, same town, says Electric Bitters is just the thing for a man who is all run down and don t care whether he lives or dies: he found new 'strength, good appetite and felt just like he had a new lease on life.

Librarian" Bird- song, who is always anxious to secure for tbe state library anything that is .rare or valuable, he has induced Col. Alex. Q. Holhday to present a little book to the library, with the. following inscription on ine uy leai : -vdoukqi at ine saio , oi Luther's library and given to" M. L. given Mark, the. United States consul, by' the magistrates Of that city, who possess a few of Luther's books." Col. HoIIiday's letter presenting tbe volume to the libra ry says: "I present to the sate library, through you, a little volume near four hundred years old, which is, 'I suppose unique in our country, having been the personal property of the great Martin Luther. So venerable a relio ought to belong to our state library and I take pleasure in placing it there in memory of the great reformer on the day which sees the inauguratipn of another great re former, and a: man of this century Be lieve me "to be, w " ' ' 1 .Yours Very truly, ' Alix Q.

Raleigh j fdET Recording the chattel mortgages and liens constitutes a very large part ot tbe work of the Register of Deeds. The number recorded ' last year was ! about 1,500. . For tbe month ot February this year 285 were . filed for record against 336 for same month last year. February is tbe big month for mortgages, as it is tbe time when guano and crop 'liens are made. The falling off this year is very gratifying as it indicates an improvement in the financial condition of our people. ' Uur courthouse, wbrcb. is, by general consent, the best in tbe State, cost about $25,000. To raise money to help meet this expense, county bonds to amount of $14,000 were issued, $10,000 January 1st, 1886, and $4,000, January 1st, 1887. The first of January this year $8,000 of these bonds had been paid, '- making the present bonded indebtedness of the county $6,000. On the 15th f this month bonds to the amount of $8,000 will be sold to meet the expense of. the erection of the new county jail, which is now nearly eompleted. This will increase tbe in debtedness of the county to $14,000 again, but it is really a light burden for a county with the resources of old Union. In a few years tbe debt will be paid, nobody will be the poorer and the county will be supplied with a jail tbe equal, if not the superior, of any other in tbe State. Monroe Enquirer. - The Merriest Girl that's Oat "Bonnie sweet Bessie, the maid of Dundee," was, no doubt, the kind of a girl to ask, "What are tbe wild waves saying?" or to put "a little faded Mower" in your button' hole, she was so full of vivacity, and beaming with robust health. Every girl in tbe land can be just as lull of life, just as well, and just as merry as she, since Dr. Pierce has placed his "Favorite Prescription" within the reach of all. Young girls in their teens, pass ing the age of puberty, find it a great aid. Delicate, pale and sickly girls . will find this a wonderful invigorator, and a sure corrective for all derangements and weaknesses incident to females. n m tST About the cheekiest thing on re cord is the criticisms by Republican jour. nals of what they call tbe extravagance of the Fifty-second Congress. The object of this is, of course, to deceive tbeir readers, many of whom will forget that the Senate ot the Fiftysecond Congress had a Republican majority, and many of whom do not know that nearly every appropriation bill which went from tbe Democratic mouso was largely increased by the Senate, and that even then the appropriations, as a general thing, are for less amounts .than, the estimates. They omit to mention the fact, also, that those appropriations, with tbe exception, perhaps, of some small special, appropri ations, were necessitated to carry out the laws passed by the Fifty-first Congress, and that $20,000,000 appropriated was for deficiencies, and about $20,000,000 more for increased pensions under the acts passed by the Fifty-first Congress. There are scores of public buildings under construction; or contracted for which have to be completed or come to a standstill, Congress either had to make appropriations to meet the deficiencies, to U m I complete tbe pubiio buildings, ana to pay the increased pensions or acknowledge its inability . to do so, - and confess the Treasury bankrupt. This, of course, it could not do without impairing the credit of the Government and dishonoring it. There can be no material retrenchment and reduction of appropriations until some of the laws requiring these heavy expenditures are repealed or modified. When the Congress is Democratic in both branches, as it will be to-day, and a Democratic President stands at the helm, and tbe Departments of the Government are in charge of men chosen by bim, then Congress, as a Democratic Congress, may be held responsible and be fully- amenable to criticism for what it does, but it will not do to censure a Democratic House for carrying out the laws previously enacted by a Republican House, and a Republican Senate and endorsed by ft President.
