We know its every pathway its hopes, its joys, its fears, Anil dear to us its sunshine that glim mers through our tears. The great world the great world, the on:y woriti we know: And can the "high gods wonder we're clinging to it so? We love its dust and daisies with all an offspring's love. And shiver at the shadows around the worlds above. The great world the great world, its winter and its spring The flowers that rim and wreath it the buds the winds that sing: Faith franres a world above us beyond an a me dome; But here are hearts that love us, and here is home sweet home! Fit ax k L. Stanton. Liberty and License. The abuse of liberty, called license, leads very frequently to a curtail ment of liberty itself, but on the whole the world has been gaining in liberty, not only of nations but of in dividuals, for many years. As peo ple learn to govern themselves they gain more and more freedom from the restraints of government imposed upon them, and as individuals learn to govern themselves they also gain in liberty to do as they may will, within the boundaries set by natural and statute law. It is with nations as with children. The latter are at first wholly under the direction of their elders; as they grow in years and discretion the' are ac corded more and more liberty until, when the' arrive at manhood or womanhood, they are set entirely free from parental control, but re main, of course, subjects of the state, bound and controlled by the laws thereof. Even as to the latter they have more or less share in making the laws, and the tendency of the last century has been to enlarge the sphere of individual freedom. Liberty is what may be called the natural state of the individual; it is withheld from the infant or the child of tender years only because he is not at the time fitted by experience and education to make wise use of it, but just as soon as he acquires need ed control of himself he is allowed more liberty, and so on, until he is left without parental restraint alto gether. It is well to keep this con ception of liberty as a natural right always in mind while putting re straints upon it, for then the re straints will be properly regarded as mere temporary devices, to be dis carded just as soon as the child shows himself able to care for his own welfare. This is not regulated by age. As a matter of convenience, it is assumed that at a certain age the youth has reached maturity, and thenceforth he is free from parental restraint or coercion, being at liberty to do as he may please, subject only to the laws of the community in which he may live. But, as a matter of fact, some young people reach years of discretion at an earlier age, and some, though they live to be old men, never attain them. It is well, however, in dealing with children, to encourage them to as sume responsibility for themselves, and therefore to give them just as much liberty at all times as they are able to wisely use. They will thus acquire strength of character early in life and be better fitted when they reach the legal limits to play the parts of independent men. Real lib erty, however, should not be con founded with license. The tendency of the times, though in the right di rection, should not be allowed to get beyond bounds. In the main, the release of children from coercion is beneficial and the world is doubtless better to day than it was a hundred years ago, by reason of the greater liberty accorded the individual, what ever his age, but in particular cases old-time coercion is still needed to put restraints upon the young. When they abuse the liberty they have been given and show a tendency to lose respect for authority they should have their privileges curtailed, for they will have but poor preparation for a life of independence if they have not learned in their youth the necessity of obedience to the law. The chief evil resulting from the increased liberty allowed the young in the present generation is the less ened respect shown for parental au thority and the lessened respect for parents themselves. Both should be maintained even though it should be necessary to retrace some of the steps of w hat is called our advancing civilization. Liberty is a natural right, an eternal principle, but true liberty can be maintained only through obedience to necessary law, and there is no law so necessary as that made by the parent for the wise government of his children during their youth.

There seems to be an unusual com motion in the field of religious thought. Out of two or three hun dred different Christian creeds and forms of worship, one would suppose there were already enough to choose from, but some new and startling ones keep coming in and the eager, craving minds of the unsettled peo ple are falling out with the old and falling in with the new theories and doctrines. There is no cause for very great alarm in this, for it proves the natural instinctive desire of weak and unsettled minds for some religion that will satisfy and comfort the longing heart. It proves the univer sal belief in God the creator and the universal desire to secure His favor. There is nothing new or strange in this. It is history repeated. One hun dred and eighty years ago Alexander Pope, the great poet and philoso pher, wrote: "For modes of faith let graceless zealots light; He can't be wrong whose life is in the right. In faith aud hope the world will dis agree. But all mankind's concern is charity." Pope was a great and good man and died a Christian. His devotion to his mother was intense and beau tiful. He took the tenderest care of her and she lived with him until she died, in her ninety-third year. This is tribute enough for any man. There are many men of many minds. There are some in our day just like those of Athens of whom St. Paul wrote, "Who spent their time in telling or hearing some new thing." Even some preachers have a morbid craving for sensation, and they cre ate a commotion wherever they go. They belong to the church militant! and believe in thunder and lightning and cyclones and even war as agen cies for the propagation of Christian ity. The newspapers are crowded with abstruse essays on the new re ligion both for and against. These distract the skeptical and unsettled minds of many, but only for a time. Spiritualism did the same thing for half a century, but happily it has run its course, as the last census shows a large decrease in the number of its followers. But true Christianity moves on serenely amidst all these commotions. Meteors and comets may come aud go even the sun it self may for a brief interval be eclip sed; but, like Christianity, it shines on year after year, century after century, bringing light and life to the world. Maybe this sensational preaching is needed in these degenerate times, when the spirit of war and the love of money seem to have demoralized the young men of the land; when murder and suicides are of daily oc currence, and getting money by gambling in stocks and other short cuts to fortune has become a national sin. But to ray mind, the old, con servative modes are still the best. I don't like the preacher who ascends the pulpit with a whip in his hand and cracks its lash at every maledic tion. That would be all right if every man had a pulpit and a whip, so that he could fight back. If I were good enough to be a preacher I would take a text and stick to it reverently and plead with the people in the name of the Lord. Old Dr. Axson, of Savan nah, was my ideal of a preacher; a man of God whose very presence in the pulpit increased our reverence for it. His texts still linger in the memories of those who listened and carry with them more enduring sol emnity. When David pleaded with the Lord for forgiveness and said, Remember not against me the ini quities of my youth," every one re called with grief ard sorrow the many, many errors of his young life. What a grief to every man are the sins of his youth and how earnestly he wishes they could be blotted out from his own memory. I recall an other text, when David exclaimed in the agony of his heart, "My sin is ever before me." What a subject for au earnest, eloquent divine the im possibility of escaping from the mem ory of sin. But the love of God was his favor ite theme, and the helplessness of man in contrast. We know not whence we came nor whither we are going. W 3 cannot uuu u uuy uur au hour to our existence- e cannot foresee afflictions nor calamities nor fortifv against them. We are utter ly helpless aud are dependent on the Creator. Then he gave a poetic pic ture of the wonderous love of the Creator for His creatures and proved it bv the adaptation of our seuses to the beauties and luxuries of nature the moon and stars, the mouutains, rivers, trees, fruits and flowers; the birds to sing, the flowers to bloom, the earth to bear us food, and how carefully He holds the rolling earth in His mighty hand while we sleep unconscious of any danger, and too often forgetful that our Maker is at the helm, watching over us and counting every pulse that beats. "Young man, young man, stop and think!" be exclaimed, in tender, tear ful pleading. That is the kind of preaching I like. It is well to have creeds and a faith in them; but creeds are at last the work of men and are controverted and hawked at by those who differ; but when the Lord says, "Do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with thy God," "Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God," "Love the Lord with all thy strength and thy neighbor as thyself," and "Love is the fulfilling of the law," there is no need of any better creed. Humility is one of the chiefest cardinal vir tues. A man who is vain or conceit ed is close akin to an idiot. The poet says, "Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud," and the psalmist says, "Lord, what is man that Thou art mindful of him?" But I didn't start to preach a ser mon, although I could preach one if I had a pulpit and a congregation of young people. I was ruminating about these blessings of a kind p""'--'-idence because I had strawberry short cake for dinner and felt grate ful. I have a thousand plants that I planted I, me, myself, no nigger in the woodpile. Last year they did not fruit well and I wrote to Mr. Berckmau about it, and he said I must use ashes instead of stable ma nure. So I scooped out a saucer-like space around every plant and filled it with ashes, and this year they are literally loaded and are of large size and fine quality. As the fellow said of the mosquitoes: they are so large that many of them weigh a pound. By the scale, twenty of them do weigh a pound. I am proud of my success, but it does look like a pity that it should take a man seventy live years to learn how to grow strawberries. Our flowers never were so beautiful, and we have enough for a wedding every week and I wish they were wanted. My wife actually praises me almost every day, and it takes a good deal to do me and she knows it. I want some when I have worked so hard to please her and the children. I don't want to wait for epitaphs on my tombstone and obituaries in the newspapers. I had rather have some praise right now in words that I can understand. I want some of the flowers placed upon my grave and a rose bush plant ed near, and they might write on my tombstone: He was a man of words and deeds. He kept his garden clean of weeds; And when the weeds began to grow He slaved them w ith his garden hoe. Bill Arp. Obstinate Bride Brought to Terms. In telling about' "Some People I Have Married," in the Ladies' Home Journal for June, the Rev. D. M. Steele says : "Being an Episcopa lian, I always use the formal printed service of the prayerbook. In this the greatest stickler is 'obey.' One day a couple came to me, bringing as witnesses the parents of both bride and groom. Everything proceeded smoothly to the point, Move honor and obey,' when the bride refused to say the last. I re peated it and waited. Again she refused and I shut up ray book. Then there was a scene. They talked it over, and the more seriously they argued aud discussed the more stub bornly she refused. The parents be came angry, the groom excited and the bride hysterical. To humor her he joined in the request to have me leave it out. But I liked the fellow and decided that a little sternness from me in the present might be a favor to him in the future. So I told them I had no authority to change it and would not do so. I tried to show the foolishness of her objection, but it was no use. Finally I said to him: 'Well, this household must have a head somewhere. I will leave it out for her if you will say it.' Then it was his time to refuse, which he did. He gathered up his hat and started for the door, when, presto, change! she sprang after him, led him back by the hand, looked meek ly up at him and said it." "Embarrassment," adds the writ er, "appears to be the natural con comitant of matrimony. At least this is true iu the incipient stages. Invariably, however, there is a strik ing contrast between the relative composure of the man and woman. Both are nervous, but never both at the same time. If they come a week beforehand to make arrangements she is rattled and he is cool; while on the day of the ceremony she rises to the occasion and he sinks under it. Thus I have never seen a bride who was scared; I have never seen a groom who was not." The loss of Mrs. Augusta Le win's cheek bone at Rochester, N. Y., cost the Lehigh Valley Railroad $10,000 after a jury trial, which was conclud ed there last Saturday. Mr. W. 8. Whedon, Cashier of the First National Bank of Winterset, Iowa, in a recent letter gives some experience with a carpeuter in his employ, that will be of value to other mechanics. He says: "1 had a carpenter working for nie who was obliged to stop work for several days on account of being trou bled with diarrhoea. 1 mentioned to l.;. ihfit.

The Direc tor of the Census to-day issued the first half of the final census report on population. It shows the aggregate population of the United States by States and Territories, the density of popula tion, the center of population in its medium point, the population of Alaska and the Hawaiian Islands, the number of Representatives ap portioned under the recent act of Congress, the population of the States and Territories by minor civil divisions, the population of cities having 25,000 inhabitants or more in 1900, the increase of population in the same and the populations of in corporated cities, towns, villages and boroughs in the year 1000. This report is issued in the form of a monograph and comprises about 500 pages of the final report on pop ulation of the United States. The other portion of the final report on population will be issued early in the fall, putting the entire volume in the hauds of the public at least four years in advance of any pre vious census. Most of the features of the volume have received attention. It shows that, excluding the District of Co lumbia, Rhode Island, with 407 in habitants to the square mile in 1900, is the most densely settled State in the Union, while Massachusetts comes next, with not quite 349 in habitants to the square mile. New Jersey, with a little more than 250 inhabitants to the square mile, is the third State in point of density of population, while Connecticut, with somewhat more than 187 inhabitants to the square mile, occupies fourth place. Four other States have more than 100 inhabitants to the square mile in 1900: New York, with 152.6 inhab itants; Pennsylvania, with 140.1; Maryland, with 120.5, and Ohio, with 102 inhabitants to the square mile. Alaska has, on the average, but one-tenth of one person to the square mile, and Nevada only four-tenths of one person to the square mile. Wy oming has not quite one inhabitant to the square mile, while Arizona, New Mexico, Montana and Idaho have less than two persons to the square mile. The newly acquired Territory of Hawaii shows an average density of population of not quite 24 persons, ranking in this respect between Maine, with 23 2 persons, and Ark ansas, with 24.7 persons to the square mile. (Jirl Sleeps For Two Weeks. Montreal, Que., June 4. A re markable case is now puzzling the doctors at the Hotel Dieu Hospital in this city. Eliza Duquette, 24 years old, of Lacolle, Quebec, who is suf fering from lethargy and catalepsy, has been asleep and unconscious for nearly a fortnight. Miss Duquette is the daughter of a rich farmer in Lacolle and has on many occasions shown symptoms of hysteria. A fortnight ago she sud denly became unconscious. On one occasion she recovered for a few mo ments. The treatment at the hospi tal is a series of cold douches and when she was first placed under the ice-cold water Miss Duquette epened her eyes and then remarked, "This is very cold." She then walked alone to a chair nearby and went to sleep again. Since then she has not awa kened and receives two cold baths a day without any sign or movement. Her case is marked by an almost ab solute loss of sensibility. Named Day W hen He Was To Die. Lexington, Ky., June 4. Lincoln J. McCarty, aged C8, died at a hos pital here to-night. Physicians say he died of hydrophobia, but because of remarkable circumstances attach ing to the case an autopsy will be held. This morniug McCarty's wife left for Cincinnati. Bidding her good-bye, apparently well, McCarty told her that she would never see him alive again, as he felt sure he would die to-night. Later he visited his son and invited him to be present at his death, which again he said would occur Tuesday night. Going home he quickly developed symp toms of hydrophobia. He was re moved to the hospital, where death ensued after reat suffering. Phy sicians attribute his apparent pre monition of death to disorders fol lowing the use of stimulants. Killed Herself In Church. Indianapolis, Ind., June 4. Miss Agnes Long, a prepossessing young woman of Sycamore, went to the Methodist church in that place last evening, presumably to practise on the organ. She was the organist at the church. Several hoars later she was found kneeling beside the minis ter's chair, upon which her head had fallen. A revolver was lying by her side. She had shot herself through the heart. In a note found on the organ she had left directions regard ing her burial, naming the organist, the minister who should conduct the funeral services and the singers. She had failed to pass in all her studies at a recent examination and this is the assumed cause of her suicide. ALL OVER THE STATE. A Summary of Current Events for the Fast Seven Days.

Miss Ant Blalock, 33 years old, committed suicide at her home in Person county, Saturday, by taking laudanum. Deceased was an orphan and made her home with her married sister. No cause is assigned for the the deed. The Gastonia News says that last Saturday, near Bessemer, a young negro man, Cyrus Jones, shot and killed a oung negro woman, Martha Wells. There were no witnesses. Jones represents that the shooting was accidental and tells an improba ble story. During a rain and hail storm at Concord, Tuesday afternoon, light ning struck and fired the handsome residence of W. R. Odell. The fire was extinguished with little damage other than that caused by the hasty removal of furnituro. The family were away from home at the time. A cow belonging to William Tom berlin, of Union county, was killed by lighting Sunday. Several cows were standing near a wire fence, when a tree, also near the fence but over a hundred yards away from the cows, was struck. The current ran on the wire and the cow dropped in stantly. Others as near to the fence as this one, were not injured. The executive committee of the State Press Association, which had decided to hold the next meeting at Morehead City, July 10 aud 11, has reconsidered at the earnest solicita tion of the mayor and citizens of Greensboro, and the meeting will be held at Greensboro, on the date nam ed. After the meeting such mem bers as desire will goon an excursion to Morehead City. There was a terrible shooting scrape at Timberland, in the western part of Cumberland county, Sunday. Two negro timber hands, Murphy McDougald and Baxley McKinnon, became involved in a quarrel, which led to a fight, after which both drew their pistols and began firing. Will McDougald, a brother of Murphy, ran to the assistance of his kinsman, and was shot dead instantly, a bullet striking him between the eyes. The original combatants kept up the fir ing until the chambers of their re volvers were emptied and both men badly shot. up. Tried to Kill Her Child. Greensboro, June 3. An unknown negro woman was discovered in the act of taking the life of her two-days-old infant in this city to-day. She carried the infant to an old field in the suburbs and tied a stout cord around its neck and legs. Before she could complete the work of destruc tion she was discovered by a negro man who chanced to be passing. Dropping the babe to the ground, the woman ran across the field and in to a strip of woods. Officers hae been making an unsuccessful search for her since. The baby, which es caped without serious injury, was carried to the home of an old negro woman, who agreed to care for it. While oiling a line of shafting to day George Smith, an employe of the Greensboro Spoke and Bending Works, fell a distance of 15 or 20 feet and sustained serious injuries. Father Slays His Own Son. Rutherfordton, June 4. Mack Mc Dowell, a farmer forty-five years old, in a row yesterday with several members of his family, shot and in stantly killed his sixteen-year-old son, Jake, with a 38 caliber pistol at his home near Henrietta, in this county. Young McDowell had driven bis fourteen-year-old brother from the field and thrashed him until he was almost unconscious. Later they met at the house and the second attack was made upon the young boy by Jake, when a third brother pulled him off. When this was done Jake demanded his pistol from his father to kill the third brother, taking up an axe and following his father, swearing he would split open bis head if be did not give up the pistol. McDowell knowing the boy would fulfill his threat, took the pistol from bis pocket and fired one shot, the ball taking effect in the right lung. While the father was gone for the doctor he was arrested and brought here to jail. He says that his life is as sweet to him as his son's was to him and that he saved his own life by committing the deed. W hen a W ife May le Forre. Hagerstown, Md., June 3. In the Circuit Court here Judge Stake de cided that a woman had the right to use as much force as possible not merely moral suasion to make her husband return to bis home if she found him on the street with auother woman, that a husband had no right to be loitering about the streets when his presence was required at home. The case in question was that of Mrs. Nannie Curtis, on ap peal from Justice Hoffman for as sault upon her husband and disturb ing the neighborhood. The woman contended that she was trying 1o get her husband home at the time of the alleged assault and disturbance. Judge Stake declared her not guilty of the things charged. Hood's Sarsaparilla Has won success far beyond the effect of advertising only.
