There are many ways of teaching the public youni; and old the reg ularly organized schools, by means of books, by plays, by lectures, ser mons, and other public addresses, by private counsel and by example. The lessons given are many and va'rious. The greater number are innocuous, but those with a moral purpose or effect ought to be well considered, so that none may be given that are not wholesome. If there is any doubt upou the subject, they should be avoided, for there are enough good lessons to occupy all the time of a teacher. In recent years there has been a disposition upon the part of novelists and playwrights to break away from old-fashioned morality and to teach some new lessons. By means of seductive realism they have succeeded in shaking public faith in old-time principles and have thereby done incalculable harm. They have taught us that in certain" cases im morality may be excused or for given; that the wrongdoer is not wholly bad, and they appeal to the truth of their representations as an excuse for submitting them to the public in books or in plays. No great harm would be done by such novels or such stage represen tations if they were to be read or seen only by experienced men and women, who would recognize in them the exceptions that according to the adage prove the rule, but they are read or seen by young as well as old and their tendency is to confuse the sense of right and wrong, and thus to break down the conception of orality. "Camille'" as novel and play is a notable example of this misuse of the opportunities of novel ists and dramatist to instruct as well as to entertain the public, and in recent years even more daring attempts have been made to estab lish the exceptions to the general rules of morality and to excuse those who have done wrong by exhibiting their sufferings and thus arousing the sympathies of reader or audi ence. It is impossible to specify what shall be considered moral and what immoral in literature and the drama, but as a general rule any novel or play which raises a doubt in the mind as to the truth of the generally accepted principles of mo rality is to be avoided as unwhole some. Authors seek to get away from the conventional plan of the story in which virtue is rewarded and vice is punished, but in doing so they near ly always teach a bad lesson or shake the faith of the young in good les sons. Thackeray has shown how to picture humanity in true colors with out losing sight of general principles of morality. His heroes are not alto gether heroes, his villians are not altogether bad, yet his novels have a wholesome influence-. Some later writers, and especially dramatists, have in their efforts to be original reversed the old order of plays and endeavored to arouse the sympathies of auditors for the wrongdoers and to incite rebellion against the estab lished laws of morality. In doiug so they may merely entertain the intel ligent, while doing untold injury to the ignorant and susceptible, who stand most in need of wholesome lessons. Teaching by precept has little effect compared with the les sons that are taught by realistic novels and plays. And for this reason care should be taken to guide the young in their reading of new books and in their visits to the theatres, so that the teachers of false morality may be avoided. The problem play of recent days may not contain a scene as ob jectionable in one sense as certain scenes from Shakespeare, but Shake speare's plays are wholesome by comparison. The novel or plays that tends to break down or weaken in any degree the ordinary conception of what is right and what is wrong is mischievous to the last degree and should be avoided as teaching un wholesome lessons.

ARP-LIKES THE LIGHT. As BUI Grows Older, Twilight Seems to Shorten. I confess that I do not like the night except when I am asleep. Of course I mean the dark night nor do I go into raptures over what we call the twilight that doubtful light twixt sunshine and darkness, and literally means "light cut in two, it seems to me that these twilights grow shorter as we grow older. When the day is done the darkness does seem to fall from- the wings of night, and we hasten to light the lamps, for darkness is never wel come. It is an intruder and a sym bol of every evil thing. We suppose that night was created as a contrast to make us eujoy the day, just as evil was created as a contrast to that which is good. The Scriptures say no good thing concerning darkness or night, and when describing Heav en say, "There shall be no night there." They tell us of outer dark ness and thick darkness and dark ness that may be felt. Darkness was one of the ten plagues that was sent upon Pharaoh. Job cursed the day of his birth and says, "Let that day be darkness. Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it." David saith, "Sorrow endureth for the night, but joy cometh in the morn ing," and tells of pestilence that walketh in darkness. The apostles use it as a symbol of every calamity. Darkness covered the land when the Saviour was crucified. The devil is called the prince of darkness. An cient mythology describes Erebus as a dark cavern through which the spirits of the damned and wicked dead shall pass on their way to hell. And Homer writes of a country call ed Cimmeria afar bevond the sea where the sun never shines and the people live in darknes. Milton de scribes the darkness of Hades as so dense that it was visible. Speakiug of evil spirits that haunt mankind, J be says they move in darkness, but fear truth and chastity. "No evil thing that walks by night in for or fire no hag, or ghost, or gob lin damned has hurtful power over a chaste and virtuous woman." Mont gomery says, "Night is the time to weep." And Shakespeare says, "In the dark night, imagining some fear, a little bush appears to be a bear." Young says, "An atheist half believes in God by night," and Tennyson says of himself, "I am but an infant cry ing in the night an infant crying for the light." But this is enough, and these rum inations were provoked last night about miduight the hour when the deep sleep falleth upon a man, but not upon a woman. My wife's voice awakened and startled me. She said, "What is it? Who is it? What do you want?" Then she called me and struck a match and lighted the can dle that was near. "What did you hear?" said I. "Somebody is at the door," she said, excitedly. "Which door," said I. "This one right here maybe somebody is sick upstairs," she said. Unlocking the door quick ly, the light shone into the room, but nobody was visible. I examined the room carefully and then went into the hall and dining room and thence upstairs on tiptoe, but all was silent. When I returned she said, "Well, I did certainly hear somebody at that door, and it waked me, but maybe I was dreaming. I remember now, I did have a troubled dream, but please look under the bed before you put out the light." Such is conjugal life and felicity. For some time I laid awake listening for a noise and rum inating on human helplessnes during the darkness of the night. I remember when I had an unwill ing fear of ghosts that I would not acknowledge. I got it from the aw ful stories that our negroes told us children, for there was a fascination about them that drew me to their cabins by night, and I listened to their made-up tales of ghosts and witches and Jack O'Lanterns and raw head and bloody bones until l was afraid to look around behind me, and had to be guarded to the big house door when I left. But this childish fear passed away, and long since I have realized there are no spirits to haunt us, and that "only man is vile." My wife is not a timid woman, but she is cautious, and will not consent for me to keep a pistol in our bed room for fear I might have a bad dream and shoot somebody through mistake. She never sleeps very sound. A mother who has nursed ten children never does, and the cracking of the paper on the wall will arouse her. She is happy now, for there is another grandchild not far away, and she goes there every day. Pretends she goes to help Jessie, but it is really to nurse and fondle Jesse's baby boy, for the maternal instinct never dies, aud she has not forgotten the lullabies she sang to her children in their infancy. I remember how my aged mother, when on her last bed. dreamed away her loving life imagining there was a babe at her breast and whispering a song to it iust before she died. She found two in heaven when she got there. Oh, ye young men who linger and jest in i the saloon or around the gaming tables or frequent disreputable places, stop and think. Stop and think, and remember the long and weary nights that a mother watched with you and never complained iiayoe ner spirit is watching you now and yearning over you in the spirit land. For her sake stop and think and come back to the innocence of your childhood. Ana mere are some little songs that I, too, remember and still can sing to the little helpless teething things and soothe them to sleep as I walk the rocm. My little baby songs are stereotyped in my memory and have been handed down, though not published or copyrighted. They are a masculine medley of "By. babv. bunting," "Hush, my dear, lie still and slumber," "Julianna Johnson, don't you cry," "Away down in Shinbone alley," "And we'll pass over Jordan," aud so forth. They are all in the same key and in the same meter and dovetail into one an other and just go round and round, monotonous and mournful, until the. child has to go to sleep to keep from hearing them; nevertheless, it is a fact that I can get a sick child to sleep when its mother can't and sometimes away in the dead of night, as I walked the room in my night shirt, I have not only got the child to sleep, but the mother, too. But I am having some little domes tic troubles that are disturbing my tranquility. Night before last I slip ped the keys off the nail in the back room and went to the pantry to get some nice apples I had hid away there for a surprise to the family just be fore bedtime. I like these little sur prises and so do they. I found the cat locked up in the pantry and put her out, and then pushed the door to to keep her out while I was getting the apples. It is acuriouadoor lock, for it has no knob ou the inside, and I soon found that the cat was locked out and I was locked in. I rapped and banged for awhile for somebody to hear me and come, but nobody came, inen 1 knocked harder and halloed louder, but to no effect. Then I kicked the door and made all sorts of a racket, but nobody came. So I concluded they heard me, but thought it good fun to keep me in prison and give me time to reflect on my past life and the value of freedom in this land of liberty. But I didn't ponder long on those things. I was perplex ed, but after a while thought of my knife as a screw-driver aud soon had the hasp off and was out of prison, "Didn't you all hear me?" I inquired. "Yes, we heard you knocking. What were you doing out there?" said my wife. They thought I was fixing or mending something, and did not hear my voice, for there were two rooms aud a hall between us and all the doors shut. I distributed the apples and everything was soon calm and serene, but I have an increased hor ror of being put in jail and I am go ing to behave myself and keep out. Monday night we heard Mrs. Sher idan sing and it was a feast. We have known her from childhood, when she wore panteletts and pinafores and went to school in Rome with my children. I could not realize that this was or ever had been little Sarah McDonald who used to play and romp and scream like other children, but in her early youth she heard a prima donnasingand resolved to bea great singer, too. The Scotch-Irish blood was in her veins and she succeeded. Her father and mother were poor, but that made no difference. They had faith religious faith Bible faith and named their four boys Matt hew, Mark, Luke and John, and their three daughters Mary, Martha and Sarah. Mark and Luke are living in Rome yet and have prospered. Sarah chanced to visit Philadelphia some years ago ana oy request sang one Sabbath at a little mission church that was founded by John Wanna maker. He was there and heard her and took great liking to her and help ed her to visit Europe to have her voice trained. She soon found other friends, who have befriended her and lavished upon her theiraid and bless ing. As I listened to her singing those sweet old Scottish song I wondered if there were not many just such fe male voices in that audience and all they lacked was culture and deter mination. I recalled Gray's beauti ful lines Full many a gem of purest ray serene The dark, unfathomed caves of ocean bear: Full many a flower is lxrn to blush un seen. And waste is sweetness on the desert aii-." Bill Arp. l'ointed Paragraphs. The husband reigns, but the wife rules. Ignorance shuts its eyes and im agines it is right.

He wa3 found guilty of counter feiting and passing spurious coin. Murfreesboro, Tenn., was visited by one of the largest fires Saturday that has occurred there in years. The fire started in the warehouse of J. L. Rather & Co. and soon spread until the entire depot hill district was in flames. About $75,000 worth of prop erty is in ashes. One of the most successful raids on the makers of crooked corn liquor known of in a long time has just been completed in Union, Towns and Ra burn counties, Ga. Eleven large dis tilleries, together with 20,000 to 30, 000 gallons of beer, enough to make 1,500 gallons of true mountain dew, were seized. While at work on the tracts at Philipsburg, Pa., Monday, Thomas Leonard and Thomas Miles were run down by a New Jersey Cental Rail road train. Leonard was almost ground to pieces aud Miles had a leg and foot cut off, a hole knocked it his head and was injured internally His recovery is doubtful. There is a strike at the Norton Coa Company and the Wise Coal Company colliery at Norton, in Wise county, Ya. None of the other mines in that section has been affected so far.

Financial and Commercial. Special Correspondence. New York, Nov. 2G, 1901. No unfavorable change has been apparent during the past week in the general condition of trade and industry. Business in leading branch es is remarkably active, and there is continued widespread complaint of delayed deliveries, due to the over crowded condition of works or the inadequate terminal facilities, motive power and car equipment of the trans portation companies. Payments through banks were exceptionally heavy last year after the Presidential election, but so far during the pres ent month they have exceeded the record for November, 1900. The in industrial situation is very strong. Yery little machinery is idle in any direction, and in many industries contracts already entered upon mill books assure continued full employ ment for months to come. Business failures during the past week, ac cording to R. G. Dun & Co., num bered 218 in the United States and 31 in Canada, against 238 in this country and 29 in Canada during the corresponding week last year. Cotton prices show little change, but have been well sustained as a re sult of decreased receipts, a wider acceptance of estimates of a crop yield below 11,000,000 bales and a better demand from exporters. Do mestic spinners have continued to buy moderately, and their takings for the season have not yet equaled purchases for the corresponding pe riod last year. A decline of one- quarter to one half of a cent in prices of staple has unsettled confidence in price stability in some branches of the cotton goods trade, but there have been few other changes in price. Demand for plain staple fabrics from domestic bui'ers has continued to re flect immediate distributing require ments; but there has been further .food buying of brown cottons for export to China. Makers of export grades now have their production undercontract for four months ahead. The corn movement is light, and prices show very slight changes from the figures current a week ago. The price of corn in Chicago is 25 cents per bushel higher than it was a year ago, and on this basis there is little ncentive to operate for an advance, while, on the other hand, the small i crop and light receipts restrain bear- ish speculation. Exports of corn , continue very light. Chicago prices show advances of 27 cents per barrel on pork, 12 cents per 100 pounds on ribs and 25 cents per 100 pounds on lard. This strength is attributable to the high cost of feed, the light weight of current offerings of hogs and firmness of interior prices for the animals. The movement of bogs to packing centres is large. Ex ports of meats and lard for the week have been comparatively light. Wheat prices have declined i to I a cent per bushel. These small re cessions in the face of several bearish developments in the markets are an evidence of strength rather than of weakness in the situation. If trade sentiment were not generally favor able to wheat the big Northwestern movement, a large accumulation of stocks and the liquidation of Decem ber contracts, which have occurred during the week, would have resulted in a much greater decline in prices. The scarcity of cars and the nearness of the close of inland navigation have hastened shipments via the lakes from the Northwest. Domestic visible stocks have increased nearly 4,000, 000 bushels, and the world's visible supply shows a gain of about 10,000, 000 bushels. The winter wheat mar kets have been relatively firm, be cause the receipts of this variety have been comparatively small. Feed ing of wheat in the West has con tinued on a liberal scale, and some authorities estimate that this unusual consumption will absorb full 50,000, 000 bushels of the 1901 crop yield. Interior milling demand is active, and many of the spring wheat mills are running night and day to keep pace with orders for flour. Export demand continues fair, and from pres ent indications the year's require ments of importing countries will take from the United States 250,000,- 000 bushels or more, which quantity, together with 50,000,000 bushels for cattle food, would exhaust the sur plus over normal home needs and leave a reserve no larger than that available at the outset of the present crop year. 15 Miiwites sufficient to give you most delicious tea biscuit using Royal Baking Powder as di rected.

Snow fell in Watauga county Fri day night and the ice was two inches thick. oummit Hotel at Carthage was burned Saturday morning. It was built a few years ago for guests from the North. No one was injured, and the loss is $15,000. A painter named Smith fell 00 feet from the roof of Kenilworth inn, at Asheville, Saturday afternoon and died Sunday. It is remarkable that no bones were broken. The residence of Thos. J. Maffitt, of Asheboro, was burned Monday with the greater portion of its con tents. The loss is estimated at $1,- 500 with $500 insurance. A fatal accident from a runaway team is reported from Onslow coun ty. Two men were in the vehicle and as a result of the affair one of them, Ed. Reyner, was killed. The little daughter of Dr. I. M. Taylor, first assistant physician at the State Hospital at Morganton, who was severely burned several days ago, died Tuesday night. Fire Sunday morning destroyed the barn, stables, feed, 100 barrels of corn and other property of Mr. Kil patrick, of Efland, Orange county, causing a loss of about $2,500 with out insurance. Joseph Broughton, a well-known farmer of Wake county, was prob able fatally shot near his home at Garner Tuesday while partridge hunting with some friends from Ra leigh. The gun of one of the party was accidentally fired and Broughton was shot iu the body. The stores of Goodson & Biddix and Thos. Meeds, at Marion, were entered by robbers Monday night. A small quantity of change was taken from the drawer at Meeds' store. A small sum was taken from the cash drawer and also a lot of shoes, hats, etc., from Goodson & Biddix's store. Tuesday afternoon, while Mack Blalock and his wife, colored, were at work on a farm near Raleigh, their house caught fire and when they reached it it was destroyed, They had left locked in the house their three children, the oldest aged f0Ur, and all were burned to death. The store w j Parker & Co.. t, vlc.initv of Moro-anton and near the State Hospital, was burned Monday night. No one was at the store and the first to arrive at the fire found the back door of the store open, which suggests robbery. The loss is estimated at $2,500, with $1, 500 insurance. Frank Jones, colored, about !5 years old, was found dead in a ditch in the suburbs of Raleigh Tuesday. The ditch was about three feet deep and contained but little water. The negro was lying on his face and it is ! supposed that he fell in and stran gled, as there was no evidence of foul play. The man was mentally unbal anced. William Wagner, a well-to do farm er of Hanes, lost his large barn con taining 8 head of cattle, 3 horse, all bis farming implement, 150 bushels of grain, a lot of feed, etc., by fire Friday night. The origin of the fire is shrouded in mystery. The barn was located some distance from the house and Mr. Wagner and his family knew nothing of the fire until Satur day morning when they arose and started to feed the stock. Monday evening near Whitakers, Dr. J. M.Sherrod had the misfortune to lose his gin house and fixtures by fire. In the house were 18 bales of cotton, about 400 bushels of cotton seed and two two horse wagons. Just how the fire originated is not known, but is thought to have been caused by sparks from the boiler house. There was no insurance and the loss is considerable. Sunday morning the barn of Mrs. Lillie Johnson, who lives nine miles from Winston, was burned, and along with it was destroyed four horses, seven hogs, a new buggy and har ness, an old buggy, two new wagons and harness, wheat drill, 300 bushels of corn, lot of wheat, about 75 loads of hay and fodder, lot of straw and all her farming tools. Mrs. John son's residence caught several times, but the fire was extinguished with out serious damage. The loss is es timated at $1,000, with no insurance. The origin of the fire is unknown. GOVERNOR YATES. Endorsement of Paine's Celery Compound Attracts the Attention of Medical Journals. Thousands of Such Cases Mr. Storms' Letter. A medical journal, says a writer in the Boston Traveler, has the names and addresses and full histories of hundreds of cases of chronic and acute rheumatism that have been permanently cured by the wonder ful remedy which has recently at tracted wide attention since Gover nor Yates of Illinois publicly endor sed it. Nothing else has ever been known to cure like obstinate cases. When all others have failed this marvelous remedy- for blood and nerves has made sick people well. Paine's celery compound corrects unhealthy nerve action and feeds the nerve centers with the elements needed to build them up again into healthy tissues. It cleanses the blood of every trace of poisonous humor and encourages a rapid crowth of red corpuscles upon which the vigor of the entire body depends. Its action is perfectly intelligible to every able physician. Diseases of the nervous system do not come without warning. Rheu matism, dyspepsia, insomnia, and diseases of the liver and kidneys are but loud cries for a prompt increase of nourishment for the brain and nerve centers.
