A SUCCESSFUL " SONNETKR. -NiT-tVi rflrnlina has two txets, if no more. It has two who were born with the divine afflatus, and are, therefore, not made or manufactured by an criminate press or a too indulgent pub lic iMr. Theophilus H. 'Hill, of Raleigh, has been known to a sympathetic class of readers for quite forty years as the -writer of well finished verse, much of which deserved to be dignified with the descriptive name of poetry. Full thirty fire years ago, our 'distinguished and lamented friend, Rev. Dr. Charles F. Deems, said to us: "North Carolina has a real poet in Hill." The makers of .American anthologies have not found him yet, and even professedly informed writers of southern authors in classify ing the poets have invariably forgotten or were ignorant of Hill. We are per suaded that in his last collected edition of his works we can find as much -genuine poetry nay, more than can be se lected from the productions of some other southern writers whose verse is known in the south and in the north . also, to some extent. In Henry Jerome Stockard; a much younger wooer of the Muse, North Car olina has another true singer, a man of poetic inspiration and genuine gifts. He has not produced a large body of verse, for he is still a young man, but he has written enough to give him en trance into the temple of poesy and to find fellowship with the more modest and less richly endowed, if not to be . permitted to sit at the feet of the mas ters in the splendid kingdom in which the seers and ' thinkers and mighty harpers dwell. We have before us a little volume of verse modestly called "Fugitive Lines," by Mr.: Stockard. It is from the old TkT, Vyvnlr TvnKMshine- hOUSe Of 'G. "P. AV1 f Putnam's 'Sons. It can be read in an hour or two, unless you are so drawn to it as to dwell in rapture upon this page -or that, or to ponder with delight this line or that thought, or a stanza of un common beauty. If there is not in this small volume the genuine poetic stuff, then we are incapable of poetic tast and perception and like so many other TM-etenders. must be ruled out of the precincts in ! which the Muses gather. tIt . -would be quite possible, we think, to show that Mr. Stockard has a real in terest in poetic composition and by reason of what he has done in his "Fu gitive Lines," is well entitled to be written "poet." It is a high name. Every one who writes smooth verse, - or gives expression to dainty thought in metrical arrangement cannot be truly said to be a poet born or made. We are not about to attempt j a set re view or an exhaustive discussion of the volume. Our space would not permit such an extended excursion, and our limited time shuts out any but a cur sory consideration. We will first con sider our North Carolina poet in his strongest vein as a writer of sonnets Shakespeare called such writers "a son "neter." We regard Mr. Stockard as -eminently a successful writer in this rich, exclusive domain. If he can write a. fine or a noble sonnet one. sustained in thought, form and expression, then he has an unquestioned title to the name of poet. There are hunudreds of men and women who have written poetic verse who never successfully essayed to write a sonnet of genuine worth. Perhaps the' most difficult, severely taxing of all writing is the sonnet. To produce a really great sonnet demands the exercise of the highest poetical powers. It requires that some grave jand novel thought should be expressed fn lofty, accurate and pure language, and with extreme elaboration and fin ishto do which calling out high gifts Indeed, and with them exquisite or re- t fined art and yet this is to be done -within fixed limits. These narrow, circumscribed bounds fourteen lines only allowed serve as a capital curb j - "1 : . .t-. ?r cyr o upuu 'must: aspuiug, . bjwuiuiuv, owm.- fng imaginations which delight to roam j "fancy free" in the great world of specu- j lative enterprise or throughout the wide spaces of the. poetic heavens. It t forces those ingenious persons who are j ever trying to break the bonds of versi fication and to trample upon all poetic Xbrms (a la Whitman) that they may j " -say something of startling originality ; who would make mountains out of mole hills, or as Goldsmith said of Dr. . -Johnson, "make little fishes talk as whales" to conform their praise to a certain measure to rein their vaulting Pegasus within fixed, rigid limits. We are bold to claim for Professor Stockard that he has well succeeded In the, sonnet, and has produced two x more of such finish and sustained force as to give them1 rank with many . . ... . i . . . ... tnat nave oeen accepted Dy critics as successful, if not immortal. If he has written none that equals the highest and this we will not now assert for him if he has to fall below the sublime heights of Shakespeare and Milton and Sydney and Wordsworth and ; some others of the great English choir, he has, as we judge them, written sonnets of decided merit, whose quality Is good and true, if not of the purest and loftiest. (He has builded .some that are really very meritorious, and, without intending presumption, we would feign believe, deserve to take rank with many of the , sonnets by recognized poets and that are to be found in the anthologies. We do not undertake to exactly -classify the products of his muse. We would not consciously al low what might be deemed extrava gance and admiration run mad, be cause he is a son of North Carolina, 'native here and to the manner born," and because we feel something of anxi lety for his proper recognition in this first volume in publication. Are we" risking too much, asking above desert, when we suggest that his sonnet to Mil-, ton, and his sonnet to Shakespeare, are good enough of sufficient majesty and feeling and rythm and diction and imagery to introduce him Into that audience of genius and, renown, where the crowned sit, because one or more of their choicest sonnets the culmina tion and expression of their highest genius had caught the eye of the poetio critics, past and present, and had held to the ear of the cultured world? In that divine company of immortals sit Shelley and Keats and Mrs. Browning and the great "sonnet ers" already named, and some others who wear the bays because God gave them royal endowment, and they achieved renown by their melody, theiij imaginative faculty, their elegance, their, force, their perfection of poetic form, 'their sounding cadences, 'their gleaming gold. If not so high as that for our young poet, then we still insist that in this very restrained writing, bound by limitations, he Is a distinct, unmistakable success. Those writers of sonnets who are classed among the foremost in Eng lish, do not count much more than a half dozen. Of the inspired minstrelsy who have asceneded the great heights of the sonnet, the most have been also masters in other fields and other forms of verse. Wordsworth has not been surpassed if equalled, since Milton. In one of his 'fine sonnets he celebrates in majestic numbers the glorious success of Petrarch and Tasso and Camoens and Dante among the Italians, and Shakespeare and Spenser and .Milton among the "English. Of Milton he wrote at the close of his serene and rolling sonnet: ., "And When a damp Fell around the path of Milton, in hia hand The ,thing became a trumpet, whence he blew i Soul-animating strains alas! too few." We leave our poet for the present in the company of successful writers of Jthe sonnet. We hold that he has dis tinctly, unmistakably that tone of mind, that peculiar artistic touch and form, that power of expression and concentration when at his best, 'that clear-cut verse, that calm melody and something of the "trumpet" thrill that compel success. , He seems to us that his mind in its highest displays is one that "voluntarily moves harmo nious numbers'." His !best sonnets, unn less We are much mistaken, show a gradual ' swell, moving harmoniously, rising like a summer wave, until it softly breaks into music, some lines ravishing to ear and soul-lifting. If true in this view, then Mr. Stockard has won his place, has the peculiar charm, the rounded perfection, the lan guage, the art, the inspiration in a suc cessful writer of so difficult a kind of poetic composition. We shall view him farther as circumstances may al low. . One of the best evidences that Ayer'a Hair Vigor is an article of exceptional merit is the fact that the demand for it is constantly increasing. No one who uses this incomparable dressing thinks of trying any other preparation for the hair. " ' RFIilGIOUS EDITORIALS FOR SUNDAY. We hive read with real pleasure and satisfac ion a small attention. volume that de Its title is -A , Study of the serves "Another Comforter- Misskmj of the Holy Ghost;" the author is Rev. A. D. McClure, pastor of St. Andrew's Presbyterian church, Wilmington, N. C; the publishers are- the well known Fleming H. Revell Company, of New York. There are but 1261 pages, but they are weighty with most imDortant truth. The literature ' ' . it tt.i ct : x. ; Ai..ws concerning ine noiy opuu is vwumi- S nOUS, Within a decade or two perhaps fifty volumes have been written con cerning the Eternal Spirit, the third Person in the Trinity. The volumes can be counted by tens that have been printed within a few years in this country alone, bearing directly upon the work of the Holy Spirit in the great and perfected scheme of human re demption, sanctification and eternal lifef The Revell Company, alone pub lish some twenty-odd works of this kind. While we have read' none of these, save Mr. McClure's. and have read no other volume of the kind, we have, read many sermons upon the work, of the Holy. Spirit, and in works of systematic divinity have read chap ters or statements, concerning the min- 4 istry, the mission, the work, the bap- V ' -- AIM - : Cft. LH lev OtImuu, Eattlaorft. tism,, the power, the indwelling of the Holy Ghost. Mr. McClure's little treat ise is arranged with orderly system, beginning with "His Name" then the very important doctrine, that "The Spirit is a Person;" next that "He is Holy;" then "The Spirit in the Old Tes tament;" next "His Coming In the New Testament." Then follow in regular sequence fifteen other short chapters, all important, all instructive all help ful. The book greatly interested us, and satisfied us. We found it sweet, comforting, precious a faithful, lucid, scriptural study of the ministry of the Holy Ghost. It is illuminating, ele vating, elucidating. It makes plain truths that may be obscure to many. The teachings of God's blessed Word are simplified, clarified, made easy to the lay reader. It is well designed to help to a better understanding of the great Gospel redemptive scheme of mercy and love, and to magnify and exalt the most important, most neces sary, most indispensable work of the Holy Spirit in the salvation of a lost soul. We feel sure it will aid many to a better understanding of the Eternal Scriptures, and especially will the de vout reader find help and joy and light as he receives a clearer view of the ministry of the Spirit in bringing the soul into still closer and more delight ful communion and fellowship with God. It is a real book though small. It is full of suggestion, of persuasion, of pious thought. It is all about the way of life from earth to Heaven through the power, the work, the abid ing presence of the Holy Spirit. It is precious indeed in truth, and is closely spiritual in teaching. It points from first to last to Christ, the Sayior. and Heaven at last, through the blessed ministry, the Divine power, the abounding fidelity and love of the Holy Spirit. May it do great good. Our last study in Hebrew embraced the third chapter. Let us briefly con sider some one or two points present ed j in the fourth chapter. Hebrews is a most important, most blessed book or letter. It is both supplemental and new. Rest after labor is most accepta ble to the daily toiler, to the mariner after much weariness. The inspired writer sets forth that there remaineth a rest for the people of God after this life closes. The promise is for God's faithful ones, the heirs of salvation. The promise is for one class, the threat ening of losing it for another class. Hence we are warned to "fear lest" any of us should come short of "enter ing into his rest." It is conditioned upon fidelity, labor, zeal. Those that fail are they who hear "the word pteached" but it failed to "profit them,' because of unbelief, it "not being mixed with faith." (verse 2). Not believing in their hearts they "come short." But those who do hear and believe unto sal vation and are faithful that is "labor to enter into that rest (verse ii) are saved, enter in at last and enter upon that eternal rest that remaineth. "For we which have believed do enter into rest" (verse 3)., God resteth on the seventh day from all His works. Here the promise has a type or figure in God's resting from His great work of crea tion on the seventh day or Sabbath. Here we have the example of God and also his command for man to keep holy a seventh day and rest on it, thus moving upon our hearts to strive to en ter in that we may have that final rest which is to come. ' God's promise is bound to have fulfilment. The two great classes will realize to the' full both the promise arid the rejection of the God Almighty. "They to whom it was first preached entered not in be cause of unbelief." (verse 6). This re fers primarily to the Jews. They to whom the land of Canaan, which is an other type of Heaven, was first prom ised, were cut off for their sins in the wilderness. When at last the Israelites found Canaan entered in and settled they found rest after toil and wan derings and fight. Their leader was Joshua, a type too of Jesus. So there must be too a rest beyond the grave a rest in Heaven for the people of God who come up "through much tribula tion." When the true believers, the consecrated followers of Jesus have completed their earthly journey and have crossed the Jordan of death they will enter in and enter upon that rest which God gives to His own. "There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God." (9th verse). Let us "fear" then lest we "come short" of the blessed promise. The injunction in the 13th verse is "Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest." It will be a terrible, unmixed calamity to "come short" of entering in. It will be indeed a most woeful day to miss Heaven and by our fault, our own unfaithfulness, our own unbelief. The promise is ours if we only heed. If we do our part we have God's guarantee that He will faithfully perform His part. It is pos sible to fall short, to fail to enter in through the gates into the City. What an " awful failure ! What a dread cal amity! God bids us labor faithfully to strive to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. He points by way of warning to the impeni tents and ne glectful in the past. He who promises also commands. The promise is Hea ven; the command is labor. According to our faith and love and fidelity it will be done unto us all. There are two ways, two ends, two destinies. Choose ye. " It is to either enter in ' to God's eternal rest, or to be cast out into His everlasting punishment to be "con sumed by thebreath of His displeasure." God who never yet willed the death of a sinner, according to the Scriptures, save us all from destruction, and help us one and all to be soundly converted and live that at last we may all have rest for our souls amid the fruitions and felicities of Heaven! "Ten people "out of a dozen are' inva lids," says a recent medical authority. At least eight out of these ten.

Our long time friend, John R. Mor ris, of Goldsboro, some times gives out some lines that arle not without forde and significance. In The Charlotte Ob- server he recently printed this: SELF IS TRIPPED. In pride of self I always stand! Far from the proffer of God's hand;' Faith in old self, selfhood alone, A passion vain that's vainly shown, Since self is tripped, nor can it stand Outdone, I cry, "Father, thine hand!" "Here 'tis,, my child; poor child un- blest" - He grips and lifts toward 'Home and Rest. Our young and gifted friend. Dr. James MacMin tosh Hays, whose early sad death so many lament in . North Carolina, was born in Oxford on &th day of March, 1863. He was but little past hi 34th year. The Messenger, by a guess, put it at 35, while a dozen newspapers gave it at 40, and one, we think, at 45. The Oxford Ledger has more than a column up on his death and attainments. It states that he, died of heart disease. He was appointed assistant surgeon in the Medical Col lege of South Carolina.' He practiced in New4Tork, studied in Europe, prac ticed upon his return ""at Oxford and . afterwards at Greensboro. The Ledger says: . "Dr. iHavs was for many vears one oi theiost prominent members of the North Carolina Medical Society, nu I ing the office of secretary for several terms, and holding other positions of trust and honor. He was elect ed a member of the 'North Carolina Board of Medical Examiners several years ago, and was a member at the time of his death. . At the time cif his death he was surgeon of the Third regiment,- N. C State . Guard; yith the rank of major.
