Fancy r - . r X DREAM OF THE SEA. A farmer lad in his prairie home Lay dreaming of the sea; He ne'er had seen it, but well he knew Its pictured image and heavenly hue; And he dreamed he swept o'er its' waters blue, With the winds a blowing free, With the winds so fresh and free. He woke! and he said "The day will come When that shall be truth to me;' But as years swept by him he always found That his feet were clogged and his hands were bound, Till at last he lay in a narrow mould. Afar from the sobbing sea, The sorrowing, sobbing sea. Oh, many there are on the plains to-night That dream of a voyage to be. And have said in their souls, "The day will come When my bark shall sweep through the drifts of foam." But their eyes grow dim and their lips grow dumb, Afar from the tossing sea, The turbulent, tossing sea. Albert Bigelow Paine. A MIDNIGHT SPELL. UY M. LORING GUILD. The low range of sand hills over which Browning Carter was walking was softly lit by the full, summer moon. From his position the young man could over look the level green country at his right, and the quiet sea at his left. It was evident, however, that he saw neither. In his eyea was the far-away look of expectation, and, as he moved along in buoyant ecstacy he was quite unconscious of the slipping sand and tangled dune grass. Presently he came to a break in the hills, a sort of gulley which the sea had once cut. Here the coarse dune grass had reluctantly given place to a finer species, and, in the centre of the hollow stood a solitary tree. Its twisted, storm whipped arms looked gaunt and appeal ing in the flood of moonlight. At sight of the tree the young man made a low exclamation and quiokened ; his already swift pace, As he approached, j he scanned closely the scantily leaved' branches. It was not till quite near them that he was certain of their species. He heaved a sigh of deep satisfac tion. "An oak! I thought so." There was a strange excitement in his manner, and his hand trembled as ho took out his watch. 4 'A quarter of twelve. Ten minutes to wait. The incantation takes but five." Rather impatiently the young man sat down at the foot of the old oak, and : took from his pocket a small, calf bound volume, very old and very musty. He had recently found it among a lot' of old books which had been left him by his great-uncle, a man of much mystical' learning, who, in earlier times, would' doubtless have suffered under the accusation of witchcraft. Carter, at the time of his uncle's death, j had rather wondered at the odd bequest.1 But the elder Carter had evidently seen in the nervous, sensitive temperament of tne young man that wbich would mafce him a fit disciple o! theosophy. The package of books, however, re mained untouched until one afternoon, ; Carter, from sheer laziness, was seized with a desire to examine the box. Rather to his own astonishment, he found him-, self attracted by the mystical medley which he met; and presently went to work to study conscientiously that which had found so great a place in his uncle's ' life. In such reading he had spent the last six months, until his somewhat poetical character became more than ever im practical, and he longed to grasp the occult powers of which he read. In this mood he first opened the little calf -bound book. An introduction in English announced that it was a collection of incantations from different tongues, whereby the spirits of the dead, and even of the liv ing, might bs controlled. The book was in manuscript, and, oddly enough, these incantations wero written in English characters, although the words were all gtrange. To-night Browning Carter had come, under the mystical shadow of the oak, that he might try the power of the spell which was to show him the spiritual form of the woman he should love. With much painstaking he had learned to repeat the words, which meant nothing to him. It had also given him some trouble to master the musical into nations on whose vibrations so much de pended. When his watch pointed to five min-. GQLDSBORQ, N. C, AVEDNESDAY APRIL 1, 1891. utes totwelve he rose. A quiver of ex citement ran over him. He took.up. his position some twenty, feet away from the tree. Keeping time to the lovely, rhythmic chant, he began to move slowly around the tree in gradually decreasing circles. The stillness was the tremulous one of summer night; save for the weird chanting there was not a distinguishable sound. Even the soft lapping of the sea was unheard in the little hollow. Slowly Carter turned around the tree, each timo coming nearer to "the rugged trunk, until he was so close to it that he brushed it as he went around. In the distance a village clock slowly struck twelve. The chant grew softer and slower, and, at tho last stroke, ceased. Carter leaned dizzily against the old tree. For the first time, looking between the dunes, he noticed the sea. Suddenly an odd, numb sensation crept over him. Out on the quiet moonlight water a figure was moving. Slender and white robed, it seemed to be walking upon the water. Slowly it advanced, with an un naturally steady motion. Browning Carter leaned heavily against the supporting oak. Nearer and nearer: came the slender, white figure, and the young man could see that it was a woman's and that over its shoulders hung long, dark hair. She moved slowly across the white sand of the beach and entered the little hollow. For- a moment she paused, while the heart of the watcher beat wildly." Closer then the figure eame, and as it cam he saw that the dark hair framed an intense white face and dark, wide-open eyesti When but a few feet away, .she turned) her head, and the young man felt a wave1 of sadness roll over him. On the white! face was a look of intense anguish. ! Then the figure moved on, past the gaunt oak and out of the little hollow, j Suddenly she disappeared, and Carter; with quivering limbs, sank to the ground;! He would have followed her; but the twenty-four hours' fast, with which he had prepared himself for his experience, told on him, and he was unable to move. After some time his strength came! back, and he rose and walked to wherj the figure had vanished. He saw only a! sudden fall of the ground, and beyond,1 a cottage built by some summer resident. All the world seemed sleeping. j A few days later Carter was snatched from his dreamy life by a party of young! fellows who had come down from the city, bent on making the most, of theirl vacation. Their gaiety grated on the! nerves of the mystic, who had been somewhat unmanned by his- midnight ex- perience. Courtesy, however, forced) him to lend himself to all their plans! and to enter into all their boating, sail-) ing and fishing parties. On one of these hewa3 presented to a Miss Tremaine. Whether she were pretty or not Cartercould not tell; for she wore a veil, thick enough to conceal! her features. But she had a low, pleas ant voice, and a wonderfully easy, un affected manner. To Carter's remark that she ,had been in none of the other sailing parties, she answered that her health had not per mitted it. He hoped it had been a merely passing, Indisposition. "Yes; only a cold." The young man noticed a' tinge of con straint in Miss Tremaine's answer, and that she immediately left the subject. The party had started out in the after noon, for its members wished to sail home by moonlight. The supper on: board was a merry one, and Carter was surprised at the heartiness with which he joined in the general gayety. "It really is better for me," he de sided mentally, 'to see more of people."' As the moon rose the party grew' quieter; even the songs became less rol licking. Suddenly the gay little dam sel to whom Carter was talking saw his face change, while he stopped in the middle of his sentence. ,Why, what is it?" she asked. But Carter did not hear her. He was looking across the boat to where sat Miss Tremaine. She had taken off her thick: veil, and the face on which the moon jhone was the face of hi3 vision. Unconscious of everything else, Carter rose abruptly and left his little compan ion. Mis3 Tremaine was sitting rather apart from the others. As Carter approached she smiled up at him and moved a little, in mute offering of the seat beside her. As if in a dream, the young man took it. It did not occurto him to talk ; he merelya looked at the white face which he had seen under such strange circumstances.' Presently ha became aware that M133 Tremaine had been talking to him, and that she was waiting for an answer. But what could he say? He had heard noth-' ing. "I I beg your pardon," he stam mered. Miss Tremaine laughed easily. "You have not heard one word I said." The merry laugh broke the . spell that lay over him. "Excuse me ; but you will think me very rude, but your face reminded me of one I. had seen before, and I ws watching 'it." "So I perceived." Seeirg the young man's evident con fusion, she laughed again, and good naturedly helped him out of difficulties. "I wonder if you have as much trou ble as I, in locating people. If you do, ' I am sorry for you." But, during the whole of the conver sation, which lasted until the landing, Carter was conscious of an odd sensation of unreality. After this the meetings of the two were frequent. They found much in common to discuss, and they also found that long walks together on tho hard sand of the beach were very favorable to an interchange of experiences. One afternoon, late in October, the two were standing together at the en trance to the oak-tree hollow. "Have you noticed,' asked Miss Tre maine, pointing out on the sea, "that there's a sand-bar which runs out quite a long distance! At low tide one can walk away out on it. I used to have such horrid dreams about it when I first came down." "What were they?" asked Carter with a sudden hoarseness in his voice. "I dont like to remember them oi talk about them; only I seemed to always walking out on that bar, and the water would seem to come up, up, and if would be to cold, so cold. It isn't much to tell, but you know how it is In dreams; there rj always such a horrid sensation about it." Carter was silent, and, after a little, Miss Tremaine continued. "And, do you know, I became verj much frightened about myself. I had the dream so ofUn. And I think, know, that once or twice I must have walked in my sleep and gone out therein reality. Just think how horrible J" "What did you do about it? ' her com panion asked, mechanically. "I spoke to the doctor; and ho gave me something quieting. I suppose I was a little unstrung by my brother's death. Why, Mr. Carter ! What is the matter?" For the young man's face, was white. A moment he paused, looking at her with his grey eyes large from disappoint ment. Then impulsively he began and told her all of his discovery of the little book; of his midnight incantation, and what he had considered its result. H recalled their subsequent meeting, and told how he had felt when she unveiled her face and he had seen the one whom he believed to be the destined companion of his life. Toward the end his voici faltered. "I believed so firmly that wo wen meant for each other that I felt sure that some time you must love me. But now that I know it was all a mistake ; that il was not your spirit, I ." With a sob he turned away his head. Almost immediately a soft hand was slipped into his. 4,But it was not all a mistake," saic Eunice Tremaine. Drains Magazine. Phttsgraphs in Colors. Some specimens of the photographs in colors made by Professor Verescz, of Austria, were exhibited recently at the rooms of the Society of Amateur Pho tographers, New York City, by F. C Beach, and are probably the first to come from abroad. Of courje, the process is a secret further than that the views are derived by a combination of collodion and gelatine emulsion, and that they are printed from a transparency as a positive. These colored photo graphs are not startling, but show that an advance has been made toward achiev ing the greatly-desired result of photo graphing colors, a subject that ha3 affected photographers in much the same manner that perpetual motion once turned the brain3 of mechanics and en gineers. Blue and red show very well ia the photographs, and it is claimed that the colors will not fade. Xeu Or leans Timcs-Denwerat. The Lip Ring of the Manganja. It is a very curious study to note the variety of feminine ornamentation in the different nations, and how what may be considered as a beautifier by one race becomes a positive monstrosity and de formity in the eye3 of another. One of the most curious decorations in the world is adopted by the women of the Manganja tribe, inhabiting a country in Africa near one of the northern tributaries of the Zambesi. It is called the "pelele." This is a ring, but it i3 fixed neither in the ear nor the nose as with other races, but in the upper lip. It is a ring made of ivory, metal, or bamboo, according to the wealth of the wearer; is nearly an inch in thickness, and varies in diameter at the will of the wearer, many being nearly three inches in diameter from outer edge to edge. When the girls are very young they have the lip pierced with two holes close to the nose, and a small wooden peg inserted to keep the wound from closing. When the wound heals, two small holes are left in the lip, into which larger pegs are successively introduced until, in about two years, the full-sized "pelele" can be worn. Its effect, when worn, is indescribable. When at rest it hangs down over the mouth; when food is taken, it projects horizontally, like a small shelf, and when the dusky maiden smiles upon her ad mirer, it elevates itself, turning upside down until it3 lower edge rests against the bridge of the nose, the tip of the nose appearing through the centre, and eyes looking round each side. As the teeth are generally filed to sharp points, until they resemble those of a crocodile, the effect may be better imagined than described. Chikanda Kadze, wife of the great Chief, had a "pelele" that hung below her chin. The original of this horrible ornament (?) is unknown, and the reasons given for it are amusing, the natives saying: "What kind of a creature would a woman be without a "pelele?" She would have a mouth like a man and no beard to cover it. In diferent districts it varies slightly in shape, being cylindrical, instead of round; or like a flat dish, instead of a ring. Ladles Home Journal. The Locomotive to Go. The enormous mass of extra dead weight due to the carrying of the boiler, fuel and water in the old locomotive will be entirely unnecessary in the railways of the future, which will be propelled electrically. Unquestionably the future electro-locomotion will show a motor on every axle, or at any rate upon two axles of each car, and every car running as a unit, in which case they can run coupled together in a train or not, as may be con venient. Oberlin Smith ha3 entered a strong protest against carrying this enormous dead weight of a loco motive for absolutely no purpose. We have the weight of the cars, plus the passengers or freight, for purposes of traction, even if we make our cars in future of lighter material. In speaking Df the lightness of the future conveyance by rail, Mr. Smith says that we shall not Dnly use steel and aluminum, but paper, India rubber and other fibrous sub stances, which will give us remarkably light cars, far beyond aoything we now speak of practically. Just as a wheel barrow is to a bicycle,so will our present slumsy cars be to the future ones. To have a big motor car loaded with ton3 of ballast to give it traction, is following the path of locomotion; in all probability ;he necessary adhesion will soon be gained by electricity. Xeio YorJc Cora 'iiercUd A'lcirthtr. Newspaper Curiesities. 'The newspapers of Colombo, on the island of Ceylon," S3y3 a tourist, "are curiosities it their way. They are small fcized folios, and they are issued daily. Their name3 are the Examiner and the Iidepe7vient. They show a liberal amount of advertising patronage and a fair amount of local news. In the Examiner recently was quite a long account of the Colum bian World's Fair to be held in Chicago. In the advertising columns are offered tea estates for sale, cocoanut plantations to rent, and one native advertises some thing like this : I, Arunasalan Sellapfey, of Natara, Vupe, do hereby notify that I will, after the 15th of November, 1690, adopt my maternal name, Razapaxsege, giving up my paternal name, Arunasalan, to avoid conf usion.' In one of the papers a great Indian circus is announced to take place." The casualties from fast driving ia London, England, last year were -30 persons killed and 5000 injured. Subscription, 81.00 Per Year LADIES' COLUMN. USE AND ABUSE OF PERFUMES. Let fair woman beware of using per fumes of pronounced and aggressive odors, lest she offend and alienate the regard of her friends. One of the chief causes of the separation of the King of Holland from his first wife was the pen chant of Queen Sophia for the scent of musk, which odor was intensely disagree able to her royal consort. So generously lid she indulge her passion for this per fume that not only were her own apart ments permeatad with it, her clothes, hair and belongings ffensive with it, but any room through which she passed would smell for days after of her favorite perfume. The secret of tho fascinating fragrance which seems to surround and emanate from dainty women lies ever in the constant use of most delicate and faint perfumes whose odor is intangible and suggestive rather than in the liberal use of permeating and intense odor3t which are sure to offend some sensitive olfactory organism. Chicago Pat. AT nOME IN KITCIIEN AND FARLOIt. A novel dinner party was givea re cently in London, England. A lady in vited ten bachelors and gave all her servants a holiday. Then the hostess and her daughters set to work. The lady pridts herself on her skill ia the culinary art. She cooked every dish which was subsequently submitted to tho guests. Her daughters, having given all their as sistance they could put on simply-made dresses of sober colors, the counterpart of those worn by their domestics, and went down to await the arrival of their friends, for whom they opened the door and on whom they then proceeded to wait at table. The rule not to talk to the servants during th3 meal except to ask for something was observed very strictly. Afterward the discipline was relaxed, and the temporary members of "below stain" ascended, to the region ol the drawing-room and the guests and erstwhile waiters spent a very pleasant evening. Chicago Herald " DRESSE5Q BABY B0T3. In the way oi headgear, white felt hats, having a ruche of lace dotted with ribbon rosettes, are worn by bojs.of ono to two years. Later on they wear tur bans of cloth or velvet, having a. full crown; Tarn O'Shanters, sailor shapes, Scotch caps, pork-pie hat3, etc. Their first coats are of white tufted cloth, astrakhan or eiderdown. Then they have pea-jackets of blue cloth, od box plaited skirts, single-breasted waists, coat sleeves and single cape overcoats. Beaver and astrakhan trimmings take well.

The waist may be box-plaited or tucked, and the gingham dresses may have the col lar and wristbands of embroidery. After dressing in thi3 style for a year and a half, theso small men arrive at the dig nity of yoke dresses, made with kilt plaited skirts, having a flat apron in front, or, if smalr for their age, they still wear gathered skirts of two breadths of double-width goods. The waist may have jacket fronts, box-plaits, or a yoke and belt of velvet or a contrasting woolen material. A lovely best suit for a boy of three years is a China silk blouse. A sailor hat of cloth to match is worn, and a white lamb's-wool coat. Leggins of white leather keep the leg9 warm. Ladies' Home Journal, v PQWBER Absolute y Pure. A cream of tartar baking powder.
