PEIVECT PEACE.
Through tie tailzied wave of life,
li* l *' lew we come and go;
Aud 'mill  ur cares, and toil and strife,
We little quiet know.
But, when in silence, sod and sweet,
Is en l»d l.fe's short lease,
Gontly as day the life doth meet,
We pass to perfect |>eaeo.
Eyes that are closed to earthly sight,
tan never wake lo weep:
Nor pain, nor woe, n»r grief. nor blight,
Can move that slumber deep.
Ears thai lo every sound a.e stilled,
Can never more he stirred ;
With sorrow never cm be filled,
Nor pained by duel word.
So, hearts of dust all griefs fi isake,
They never break nor bleed;
The living hearts that throb and ache,
Our tender pity necii—
Ob, restful sleep Oh, e»hn repoite t
Where all life's trials cease.
Thy silver stream forever flpws
To land of |«rfeet peace.
Then let us in eood deeds forget
'1 lie grief that fills iur eyes,
And from these days of sad regret
."Shall fragrance sweet arise.
And sanctified this life shall he,
With pure ami holy alms
I'ntil at last «e come to see
All human needs and claims.
And find in Ihein onr power to make
l'he lives of others blest,
•So they with us to hope shall wake,
To sense of joy and rest,
Ami whether, painless sleep is death,
Or quickened litk's increase,
Its gentle touch Is but the breath
That giveth perfect peace.
■low lie Applied It.
"llow far may we go in conformity to
the world !" is a question that in fre
quently asked in men's hearts, if not in
so many words.
Have you never heard the story of a
lady who wanted a coaohman 1 Two or
throe called to see her about tho situa
tion, and in answer to ber inquiries the
first applicant said :
"Yes, mud iitu, you could not hare a
better coachman than myself."
She replied :
"How near do you think yon could
drive to danger without an accident 1"
"Madam, I could go within a. yard of
it and yet would bo perfectly safe."
"Very well," she said, "you will not
suit mo."
The second had heard the question
upon which tbo first one had been re
jected, and therefore he was ready with
his answer.
"Danger, madam, why, 1 could drive
, within a hair'# breadth aud yut be per
| I'ectly safe."
"Then you will not Ruit me at all."
When number three came in he was
j asked :
j "Are you a good driver ?"
"Well," he replied, "I am careful
; an- have never in«t with an accident."
J "But how aeir do you think you
j could drive to danger J"
I "Madaai," he said, "that'* a thing 1
never tried , I always drive as far from
danger a* ever I cau."
The lady at once replied :
"You arc the kind of coachman 1
want, and I will engage you at ouce."
Got such a coachman as that to gnido
your heart and lead your own char.ic
; ter.
P» not see how near you can go to
j sin, but see how far you can keep away
■ from it. If you do not take that ad
! vice, and if the spirit of (Jod does not
; work in you purity of life, by and by
i the church will have to hold up its hands
! and say :
1 "Who would have thought it? These
1 were tbe nice young people of whom so
1 much was expected ; these were the
| good people who used t-> aay :
| "You must not be too strict," and
1 where are they now To avoid the
1 worst, k«ep clear of the bad."
Of all the impotent, dioingenuous,
vapid humbugs (bat were ever at
tempted In the Congress, the efforts of
of the Rads, led by such men as "Secor
Robeson and Morrill, to reduce the
revenue forty-three million dollars were
the most impotent and di-ingenuous.
Increasing the expenditures souie
eighty million dollars and dodging the
tariff reduction square out, the
Radicals then endeavoreed tc pacify the
country by suah revenue reduction as
would be a sop to the Toters. But they
were check mated and exposed. Mr.
Miller told Hobeson truly that the
Radical plan "reduced taxation on the
wealth of the country aud leaves it
upon the poverty of the country It
takes the tax off bai.ks and puts it on
cottim growers." Mr-Randall reminded
them that the Radicals prevented the
Ways aurl Means committee from re
ducing the Inn »eve»ty million dollar*.
DANBURY, N. C, THURSDAY, AUGUST 17, 1882.
ft'red'h Oiber t'uuntr)
Fred came up the step* on the pbrch
toward his mother, trailing his sun bon
net by one string
Oua foot dragged afurr the other, hi*
face was overcast, and altogether he was
about as melancholy * little body as you
ever haw.
"In my country there was an angel
always going round with a wheelbarrow
filled with cakes and apples and other
good things for hungry boys to eat," he
sobbed forth.
"Oh, iny poor little man, how iad it
ii! Let mother look if there is not
something of that Tery kind here."
Aud she put aside ber basket with
the little a|.ron and bright stooking*.—
Rack from the kitchen she came, bring
ing upon his owu plate a slice of lotely,
frcsli-imked brown bread spread with
butter which Hetty had just taken from
the chum.
In bis uiug there wan some of the
buttermilk, with tho cunning little yel
low balls of butter bobbing and dancing
merrily about.
How Fred kissed his mother then '
This was his favorite lunch, but he
didn't speak until he put the empty
uiug, upsidedown, over that part of the
picture where the greedy brown donkey
was forever eating the green grass.
Then he said, "1 think your little
man must be all through ;. he feels very
strong now."
And Carlo thumped his big tail on
the floor, for be, too, enjoyed the feast
Fred always shared with him, as he
was the enly payuiate the little fellow
bad.,
"In my other country there were lots
and bushels of little boys and gills to
play with, mother."
"But was there a dog like Carlo
there, little man 1"
"No, there was no dog like dear Car
i 10, nor any beautiM sun bonnet."
And Carlo had to sit up and wear
| the preeious boL.net for a long, long
lime.
Hut the day was no warm, and the
great bumble-bee sang such a good lul
laby, that it was uul l«ng before tbe
little bead with its goldcu curls wan
rotting on the dog a back, ind the litilo
tu HQ aud Carlo mere both wandering in
that "other country," where Fred said
he lived before hit mother found him.
Found Him Oct.—At * station onJ
one ot° t lie railroads leading oat of De- I
troit the train baVl arrived and departed, j
the other day, wlmb the station agent, j
who had bin n the place about three |
weeks, and was lookiug for a call every
liuur to ceme to Detroit and take charge
«t the line, was approached by a quick,
well-dresred man, smoking a cigar, who
aaked :
"Keep you pretty busy here ?"
"Yuut," was the jerky reply.
"Busiucss on the increase 1"
"Yum," again.
"Do you run this station 1" asked die
quiet man, after a turn an the platform.
"Nobody else runs it!" growled the
agent. "Have you got a patent car
coupler ?"
"Ob, no."
"1 was going to tell you to go to
thunder with it if you h»d. Want spe
cial freight rates, 1 suppose."
"No, sir."
"I don't give any passes.'
"I don't want any.'
"Waiting for the next train V
"Not particularly.'
"Want to charter a ear V
"No."
The agent left him on the platform,
and entered his office and busied himself
for half an hour when the quiet man
looked in on him and asked :
"What's the salary of a position like
tbi* V
•'That's my business," was the prompt
reply.
"What's the income from this sta
tion 1'
"Ask the baggage man."
"Your name is , isn't it t"
"Suppose it is t"
"Oh, nothing mueh—only I'm the
general manager of this line, and I'd
j like to exchange cards with you."
A braki'inun naaied John W. Moses
saw from his train, which was crossing
the Delaware and Raritan Canal bridge,
a boy drowning in tho water below.—
Without stopping to think Moses dived
from the top of a car, between the steel
braces of ibe bridge, and succeeded in
saving the lad. In diving between the
brace* of the bridge the brave man
struik a steel rod, which turned his
headlong course and whirled biui over
scvorul times before he reached the wa
ter.
lithl Haralni
A tone of the Thomas soneerts at Chicago
the other evening the electric lights sud
denly went out leaving the audience in
perfect for a few mintltas. This
wss thought glorious by some of tbs
young couples present, and over in tho
southeast comer of section B some one
was heard to say in a suppressed under
tone :
"J e—wkillikens, Basis, what ths dsuce
have you got in your mautn *"
Just then the light blaced np again
aud a youug uau was holding bia hand
over his month. A stream of blood
was trickling his angers, and ths express
ion on his lacs touched ths obaarver's
heart. His girl tusk something out of
bar mouth and put it iik ber pock at look
ing pained and guilty.
fihe led biiu quietly to ths door and
thsy passed out.
Young ladies should not wear their
hairpins in their mouth. It is not the
place for them, and a wound in tbs jaw
made by a sudden and painful contact
with a cruel two pointed hairpin at a
time when his heart is set on a moment
of ecstatic bins might result in a cool
ness on the part of tbe yonng man which
would be heart breaking.
A Kernioa for Yoiiag Men.
Preiident Porter of Yale gave the fol
lowing advice to the stud Bis of that
institution the otbar day: "Young men,
you are architects «f your own fortunes.
Kely on your strength of body and soul,
Take for your star self-reliance. Inscribe
on your banner, 'Luck is a feol, Pluck
is a hero.' Don't take too much advice,
keep at your helm and steer yonr owi
ship, and remember that the great art
of commanding is to take a fair share of
the work. Think well of your self. Strike
out. Assume your own position. Put
potatoes in a cart over a rough t'oad, and
the small ones go to the bottoui. Rise
above the envious and j.ialous. Fire
nbovc the mark you intend to hit.
Energy, invincible determination, ar»
the levers that move the world. Don't
I drink. Don't chew. Don't smoke
Don,t swear. Don't deceive. Don't
1 marry until you can support a wife.
Be in earnest. Be self n-lisut. Be
! generous. Be civil. Read the papers
Advertise your business. Make
money and do good with it. Love (Jo.l
and fellow-men. Love truth and
Tirtuo. Love your cuuutry and obey its
laws."
Vennor predicts that August will be
wet, with sev«re storms : Tice, the west
ern wea.'ber prophet lays out the follow
ing programme :
7'h aud Bth—Clear and pleasant.
9th to 13tb—Warns and thrcatning
with severe storms, unless a tropical k«r
riraue originating about the 4th is Hear
ing the gulf or scßtheast Atlantio coast.
In that case a high barometer will be
central in the npper Hjssissippi valley,
with nortlicily winds, and pleasant weath
er will prevail in the central portion of
the centiuent.
14th to 15th—Clear and pleasant.
ltith to 17th—Cloudyjand threatening,
with rains.
18th and 19th—Clear and fair.
'2otb to '23d—Sultry and threatening
weather, with very severe storms. ~A
tropical hurricane will probably origiq»te
on the tropical sea near the Windward
islands a Wont the '2oth.
'23 th te '2sth—CUndy, threatening
weather, with severe storms, unless tropi
cal hurricane is on the coast.
30th to 31 at—Clear, and if there wai
a hurricane, quite 0001.
The comparatively wanner days are
about 6th, l'2th, 17th, 2'2cd and '2lst.
The comparatively cooler days are
about lat, Bth, 15th, ißth, '24 th and 31st.
* Karthquake periods ace about 4th, 11th,
'2oth and '27tb.
Aurora days are a hoot the '2d, Bth,
13th ; if a hurrioan# on tbe gulf, 20th
and °29th auroras will be brilliant.
A young man who boards in east
Baltimore is willing to qualify beforo
many magistrates, that thnre are in and
and about his lodging place some of the
largest fleas in the world. It is stated
thai l'latean, iu his experiments with
the strength of inseots, bis ascertained
that in preportion to its siie, a flea is
as powerful a* a bieyclo, and we are not
surprised at the Baltiiuorcan'a sleep
lessness.
An Indian boy has ears a foot in
diameter, and his poor mother is in
agony of distress for fear tbat when,
he grows np he will part his hair in
tlis middle, smoke cigarettes, wear a
single barrel eje fitss and carry a

llat Flirtation
Tbe latest erase is tbe hat flrtation.
The foiinwiug is the code :
Weariug tbe hat squarely on the head,
I love you madly ; tripping over tbe
right ear, my little brother has the meas
les ; palling it over tbe eyes, you must
not reengnite me ; weariug it on the
head, ta ' la ' lakii g it oil and brushing
it the wrwig way, my heart is busted :
holdit fit out in tbe rigi.l band, lend
me a fatter . leaving it with your un
cl», 1 baee beeu to a church fair ; throw
ing it at a policeman, 1 love your sister;
naiug it a' a fan, couie and see my auut;
carry iu- a Wick in it, your cruelty is
killhnr »« , kicking it up stairs, n the
old u> . .round * kicking it dowu stairs,
wtiwciis your mother ? kickiug it across
tbe strcot, I aai cagagcd , hanging it on
ibe right elbow, will call tonight, hang
ing it on tbe left elbow, am budly left'.
putting it on tbe ground and sitting on
it, farewell forever.
If I only had Capital.
"If I only had capital," we heard a
yeung man say a few da)s ago, as he
puffed away at a tsu cent cigar, "Dwould
do something."
"If I only had capital," said anoth
er as he walked away from a bar reoui,
where be had just paid fifteen cents for
a drink of spirits, "I would go iuto bus
ines."
A similar remark niiglit have been heard
from tbe ytung man loafing on the street
corner.
Young man with tbe cigar, yon are
smoking away your capital. You #oin
tbe dram shop are drinking np yours
and destroying your body at the sauio
time ; and you on the str et corner are
wasting yours in idleness snd forming
bad habits. Dimes make dullars—time
is money. Don't wait for a fortune to
with. If you had SIO,IKK) a year
and spent it all you wnald still he poor.
Our men of power and influence did not
start with fnrtuness. too, csn
make your mark if you will ; but you
must slop spendiag your money for what
you don't need, and squanduring your
time in idleness.

is constantly discovering, none are more
remarkable than the great .tail unties

Deinocrallr I'lutform
We congratulate the people of North
Carolina on the «ra of peaoe, prosperity
and good government which has been
uubruken since the incoming of a Dem
ocratic State administration ; upon the
pure aud impartial administration of jus
tice aud the honest enforcement of the
laws; upon the efficiency of our common
school system and {treat advance made
iu education, aud the general improve
ment aud enterprise manifested iu every
part of the State, aud we plcdgo our
selves to exert all efforts to advauue the
> material interests of all sections «f the
State in the future as we have dona iu the
we challenge a comparison
between a Democratic s>lttiinialratiun "f
our BtaU affairs aud the crimes, out
rages aud soandals that accompanied
Republican misrule. Affirming oar ad
herence to Democratic principle* as de
fiued in the pisiform adopted by the
National Democratic Convention, held
at Cincinnati in 1880:
Resolved , That we regard a free and
fair expression of the public will a: the
ballot-box as the only sure menus of pre
serving our free American institutions,
and we denounce tie Republican party
and the interference of its federal officials
tor their gross frauds upon the elective
franchise, whereby whole districts,
States and the Union IKIVO been deprived
of their just political rights ; and we be
lieve the eorrupt aud corrupting use of
federal patronage, and of |ublio money
drawn by taxation froui tin people, in
influencing aud coutroling elections, to
be dangerous tn the liberties of the
Slate and the Unioa.
Resolved, That we are in favor of the
entire and immediate abolition of the in
ternal revenue system, with fta attend
ant corruption*, and that we denounce
the present tariff laws as grossly unequal,
unjust and vicious. tVe favor such a
revision of the tariff as will produce a
revenue sufficieuce for the economical
support of the government, with such
incidental protection as will give to do
mestic manufactures a fair oouipetitiou
with those of foreign production. That
there should be as immediate repeal uf
all laws imposing a direct tax for the
! support of ths government of the Unit
| ed States, but if it should prove iiuprac
 ticabl* to abolish the internal revenue
| system with all its attending deworalii
i at ion, fraud aud corruption, then we
I urge upon our .Senators and Represen
j lutive-. in Omgreas tho importance of so
1 amending the law that the revenue offi
| cers who uow receive in salaries in North
j Carolina alone more than $500,000
I shall be elected by the people of tho
| localities to which they are assigned.
| Resolved, That the course of the Dein-
ocratio party since its accession to pow
er in North Carolina iti furtheraueo of
popular education is a sufficient guaran
ty that we earnestly favor the education
of all elapses of our people, and that we
will advocate any legislation looking te
au increase oi" the tuud for that pui pe.-af
that will not materially »crease tbe
present burdens of our poo|Je.
Rrsolrtd, That the question of pro
hibition is not now, and never has lieen,
a party question in North Carolina, anil
never been endorsed by the Democratic
party, and the people *f tbe State at
the general election, in the year 1881,
having by an overwhelming majority vot
ed against prohibition, and theSarpreuie
Court haviug decided thut tbo prohibi
tion act is not and never has beeua law,
we rogaril the matter as fiual ly settled,
and any attempt to reuew tbe agitation
is merely a weak effort of designing per
son* to divert the minds of the peeple
froui the dangerous principles and cor
rupt practioos of the Republican par
tj-
Rtso/ved, That while we are not wed
ded to *ll/ particular form of cotnty
government, we recoguiie the faoi tbav
a large part of the taces of the State are
paid fer the common benefit by the
white people of our eastern oounties, and
that we ctmmder it the bounden duty
of the white men of the StaU to protect
these peeple from the oppressive domin
ation of ignorant blacks, and pledge
ourselves to well legislation as will se
cure this end.
And whereas it is seriously suggested
that a vigorous effort will soon be mjda
to Minpel the State, by judicial proceed
ings, to pay the fraudulent and unlawful
special tax bonds, amounting to
000,000, issued under legislation paased
by the Republican Legislature in 1868
and 1X67 ; therefore,
Re*olvrd,furlhrr , That the Democrat
ic party will resist such reoovery and
tho payment of suoh beads by every
lawful pesos.
