THE TAPESTRY WEAVERS.
Let us take to our hearts a lesson no
les-
son can braver be
From the ways of the tapestry weavers on
the other side of the sea .
Above their heads, the pattern hangs ; they
studv it with care ;
The while their fingers deftly work, their
eyes are fastened there.
They tell this curious thing besides, of the
patient, plodding weaver:
lie works on the wrong side evermore, but
works for the right side ever.
It is only when the weaving stops, and the
web is loosed and turned,
That he seos his real handiwork that his
marvelous skill is learned.
Ah ! the sight of its delieate beauty,
it pays him for all his cost ;
how
I No rarer, daintier work than his was
ever
done by frost,
! Then the master bringeth hiin golden hire,
and giveth him praise as wall,
! And how happy the heart of the weaver
is, no tongue but his own can tell
;Tlieyparsof man are the looms of God(
; let down from the place of the sun.
v nereiu we are weaving atway, wn mo
lvtift uph w ftnn.
Weaving blindly, but weaving surely,
each for himself his fate:
Wp mav unt. spa lirtw tlin riirht side looks :
we can only weave and wait.
! But looking above for the pattern, no
i weaver need have fear,
' Only let him look clear into Heaven the
perfact pattern is there.
If lie keeps the face of our Saviour forever
and always in sight,
His toil shall be sweeter than honey, his
weaving is sure to be right.
And when Iris task is ended, and the web
is turned and strown.
He shall hear the voice of the Master. It
shall say to him, " well done 1"
And the white-winged angels of Heaven,
to bear him thence shall come down;
And God for his wages shall give him, not
coin, but a golden crown.

ALFRED M,$GAl
SOLDIER, STATESMAN AND
PATRIOT.
He Passes Peacefully Over the
River After a Lingering Illness
A Pure, Upright Man, and a
Long and Honored Servant of
the People Sketch of His Life
and Public Services.
E N. Alfred Moore
Scales, ex-Governor
of North Car
olina, died at his
home in Greens
boro after a linger
ing illness, at 9:05
o'clock Tuesday
morning of last
week, Feb. 9th. His
condition for some
days had been critical and the end
hourly expected. From the News and
Observer we take the following sketch
of his life and services:
The annals of North Carolina have
been adorned by the illustrious services
of many admirable sons, and among
these General Scales deserves to rank,
whether we have regard to his civil
life or his military career. While not
achieving fame by the splendor of or
atorical displays or the brilliant scin
tillations of uncurbed genius, he per
formed his Dart well in every field of
action, adorned high station, and after
many years of public service retired
with a spotles name and the good
wishes of the entire State. He was a
manly man, sell respecting, lofty in
his sentiments, zealous in the discharge
of duties, and unswerving in his devo
tion to truth, right and justice.
Gen. Scales was born in Rocking
ham county in 1828. He graduated
at the University, and studied law at
Chapel Hill under Judge Wm. H.
Battle, and began to practice in 1853.
He at once took the same high po-
his name had held among their fellow
citizens lor generations, wis senti
ments and early associations led him
to espouse the principles of the Dem
ocratic party, and he ever remained
a consistent Democrat of the strict
construction school, confining the op
erations of government to the narrow
est limits and allowing to citizens the
most unlettered liberties.
Soon after coming to the bar, he was
elected to the legislature, and there
gave evidence of that political acumen
which, in later years, distinguished
him among our North Carolina states
men.
In 1856 he was elected to represent
his district in Congress, where he took
a high stand, being much admired by
his party friends, but after the expira
tion of that term he devoted himself
exclusively to the practice of law, until
the war came on m 1061. He was
then solicited to become a member of
the State Convention. But he deemed
that his place was in the ranks of the
army.
He enrolled himself as a soldier and
on May ioth, 1861, became Captain
of Company H, 13th Regiment, North
Carolina Volunteers, ot which Pender
was elected Colonel. On October 10,
of that year, Pender having been ap
pointed Brigadier General, Scales was
promoted to the Colonelcy, and it is
hazarding but little in saying that in
courage, in devotion, in taking care of
his men, and in promptness ot action.
he was equal to the best of his grade,
The 13th Regiment was assigned to
Pender's Brigade, and on Pender's
promotion to be Major General, Scales,
on January 13th, 1863, was promoted
and was assigned to the command of
Pender's old Brigade; and in this
more responsible command, he dis
played still more conspicuously those
J I " ... 1-1 1 1 .U
qualities wnicn nu

spared himself. Dangers were disre
garded in the discharge of duty. On
countless battle fields he displayed

and he was tne wormy

! commander of that eic brigade,
He was wounded at Lhancellorsviiie,
and Gen
Pender, m reporting the
j fact, added: "and thus I wasdeprivea

And he was again
i seriously wounded at Gettysburg, and

After the war he resumea tne prance

disabilities beine then removed, he was
eiected to Congress, and for ten years
remaincd a member of that body,
honored by his associates at vvasmng-
ton and having the full confidence of
his people, which was manifested by
their approbation-.
There was nothing of the demagogue
ahout Gen. Scales, but on the contrary,
, he ably and with candor and frankness
discussed public questions trora tne
standpoint of principle, and he abided
At length in l884 when Governor
Tarvic' cnWHid administration was
. drawing to a close, the Democratic
I party of the State turned to Gen.
Scales as chief among their illustrious
public men pure in purpose, upright
in character and steady in his advo-
cacy of the rights and interests of the
people. He was nominated for Gov
ernor ana his campaign with Dr.
York who ran as an Independent -Liberal
against him, was a series of
ovations. His majority was over
20,000 and he entered upon the office
of Governor with the kind wishes and
respect of the entire people.
During the four years that he
adorned the Executive office, he ably
discharged its duties and worthily
filled the chair of State.
On the expiration of his term in
1889, he returned to Greensboro and
became president of a bank whose
business he satisfactorily conducted.
Some months ago he fell into ill
health and his death, which had been
for some weeks anticipated, took
place at Greensboro last night.
Thus has passed away a gentleman,
a patriot, a statesman ana a soiaier
whose career has added luster to our
annals and whose virtuous life may
well be an example to North Caro
linians.
THEY WERE NEWLY MARRIED.
Consequently They Were So ISaalljr J-
gagod They Pauavd Their Station.
There was an amusing and instructive
scene the other day in an uptown train
on tho Sixth p.venue elevated. At Park
placo n handsome young coTjple, evident
ly very :&ach in love, got en ona of the
middio eiut -., and settling down in a cross
seat Ihty proceeded without delay to be
eoino absorbed in one another, not pay
ing the slightest heed t any cno else in
tho car. All the passengers watched
them with good natural interest, even
the small boy in the corner, who had
lieen deeply absorbed iu the delights of a
tuppenny dreadful.
Station after station flew by, till un
heeded as far as the lovemaers were
concerned, and the stalwart Adonis' arm
had just settled comfortably about the
waist of hia demure companion when
she suddenly gave a little feminine
shriek and mado a frantic break for the
door. Everybody was startled, no one
more than the young man, who in
stinctively attempted to hold her back.
But she only jerked herself away, and
the onlookers could see that the expres
sion of undying love on her features had
given way to a look of tho most pro
nounced vexation as she turned on her
companion with tho remark:
"Now, I knew you'd do it. And I was
so anrdous to be on time. Don't make
matters worse by sitting there, but let
its get off before we are carried any fur
ther." "But this isn't our station," expostu
lated the young man in astonishment.
"I know it isn't. Wo are far beyond
it. We should have gotten off at Fifty
ninth." "Well, we haven't reached there yet."
"Of courso we have, stupid! Come on
before the train starts np again or IH
go alone. Don't yon see this is Eighty
firstr' "Nonsense," exclaimed the Adonis,
getting excited in his turn.
"It isn't nonsense! Don't you see
there, 'Eighty-first' in big white letters?"
There it was, sure enough; but even
as everyone looked, and the young man
started hastily to gather np some bun
dles that were on the seat beside Mm,
the train started, and n change came
over the expression of the bride for a
bride-she certainly was. From a vexa
tious flush, the color on her face changed
to a dark crimson blush of embarrass
ment, which grew deeper as the unfeel
ing wretch by her side hurst into a loud
laugh, in which all the passengers joined.
The bride didn't say another word, but
simply made her way hurriedly into the
forward car, followed closely by her
sturdy companion, who was trying in
vain to look serious. The little woman
had been fooled by the mirror between
the seats, which reflecting the station
sign from the platform, had turned the
figures around, making 81 out of 18.

A Brave Little Beaaty.
Mayor Cushing's Httle 5-year-old
daughter Blanche fell from a hammock
and broke her shoulder. After the fall
she ran into the house, her lips clenjched
tightly, and calmly told her mother that
she had hurt herself. Although not a
tear was visible, yet the deathly pallor
which had spread over her face told the
mother that her little one was hurt.
"Now, mamma, don't you ery. I will
stand the pain. It won't last so very
long," said the little one.
Hastily examining his child, Mr. Cush
ing found that the shoulder blade was
broken. Surgeons were immediately
brought, and the fracture, which proved
to be a serious one, was quickly set.
At no time during the fearfully pain
ful operation did the little one utter so
much as a moan. She simply clenched
her daintv little fists, bit her lips, and
without a tear bore it all in a manner
which the attending physician afterward
remarked they had never Been equaled.

It is rarely ever proper to strike a met

clearly foolish, and no fear associated

Yet if you terrorize the creature he will

H E condition
of the business
and financial sta

has been the sub

but the following
article from the
Baltimore Man
ufacturers' Re
cord is about the
most practical and sensible thing that
has come under our notice. We have
contended all along that our true con

opinion substantiated by such high au

usually accurate journal and the Inter

and unbiased views of Mr. F. B. Thur

The Manufactures' Record, while
fully admitting the loss incurred by
the South through the low price of
cotton, has persistently claimed that
there is no real justification for the
constant reiteration of the cry of hard
times and a dull year ahead. The
present trouble is partly real and
largely imaginary, and the " croakers"
are to a great extent responsible for
it. The aggregate value oftheSouth's
manufactured products per capita was
far greater in 1891 than it was at any
time for many years prior to five or
six years ago, and a larger percentage
of the population was employed at
good wages than in former years. But
the cry ol low-price cotton was made
from one end of the South to the other
until people almost forgot that the
South produced anything but cotton.
The value of the South's grain crop
exceeds the value of its cotton crop,
but this and all else that is favorable
has been overlooked, and the press
and the people have largely played
into the hands of those who are seek
ing to turn capital and emigration
West by claiming that the South is
poverty stricken. It is time to cry
a halt. These points are strikingly
illustrated in an interview with Mr.
F. B. Thurber, of New York, published
in the Interstate Grocer. The Grocer
says :
Occasions arone to mention tho pre
vailing newspaper comment on an alleged
financial depression iu the other States,
which was bv them attributed to tne
over-production of cotton, the lack 01
industries and production, the advance
ment system, etc.
Mr. Thurber, who is a close student 01
trade conditions in the South, his firm
having an extreme business patronage
from the Southern States, spoke of the
condition of the South as follows :
"The depression of business at the
South iust now, in consequence of the
. . . i !.: ill .
low price 01 cotton, is a sinking ihmhu
tion of Southern character, which is either
sauguine or the opposite extreme. The
Southern people are impulsive, warm
hearted and chivalrous, but they lack
some of the sturdy staying qualities of
the people of North and W est.
"Contrast tne condition 01 me oumu
to-day with what it wos ten years ago.
While her natural resources were then
great, they were not develop! to nearly
the extent they now are. lot ton occupied,
a far more commanding position than it
does at present.

"Her railroads have been largely ex

" No other section of the country has
such resources as the South ; and because
thev have been blessed with too oig a
crop of cotton and prices have declined
to a noint which is generally considered
unremunerative, some cople w-em to
think that the bottom is going to drop
out of the South, when iu point ot met,
it mav be a positive benefit to them. It
will doubtless lead to a further diversify
ing of her crops and the study of econom
ical production of her gnat taple;
but if the South had to make cotton for
cost from this time forward she would
still have greater elements of prosperity
as the result of reasonable effort than
any other section of the I'nited States
"This is the result of her range of cli
mate nnd the natural resources of her
fields, forests and mines. The npirit of
the New South, as reprfw-nied by men
of which Henry W. Grady Is a type, is
not going to let the outn stana suu
in the procession, and I look rather to
see her at th head of it than any other
point in the line."
From this opinion of one well qualified
to express it, it will be sepn that the
workers in relation to the "impoverish
ment of the South' " the financial crisis
in the South," etc., are a long way off
from the correct estimate cf the actual
condition. It is time that merchants
generally who receive a large business
from the south should, like Mr. Thurber,
speak a good word for that section, and
not stand indifferently by while hercredit
is beintr unjustly and untruthfully h-
mi
sailed, in the hope that comp'-titors will
be scared out of the field and they be left
to enjoy it. The South is ull right.
Very naturally the persistent cry
of "hard times" has temjwarily pro
duced "hard times," and with every
body going around with a long lace
ana telling ot dull trade
and short
collections, trade has 1km. n dull and
collections have been ?hort. But it is
far more a loss of confidence than any
thing else which has caused the
temporary stringency. The South
and its business interests are solid, and 1
in a few months there will lie such a
general revival. that people will look
back and wonder what frightened them
so badly. Mr. Thurber's statements
are worthy of thoughtful consideration.
RESURRECTION AND FINAL
JUDGMENT.
By the Reverend EdmondB. ;
Fairfield, D.D., LL.D.
fBibliotheca Sacra, Obcrlin, O.l i
I used to believe that the resurrec-i
tion and the final judgment came at !
the end of this world's history, mean- '
ing that by this world," the terres-:
trial globe on which we live, and its
mortal inhabitants. I confess that the j
views I held were vauge, and certainly j
they were not so much the results of j
my own investigations as of a kind ot j
passive acceptance of the dictums j
taught me in one way and another
from my youth up. But I am sure
I held to the notion that there was
some time to be an end of mortal man
on this planet, and at that time the
resurrection ivas to take place. I
hold now an entirely different view
as to what the Bible teaches on this
subject, and I give you my reasons
for the surrender of former beliefs,
and leave you to judge of them.
It is unfortunate that the hnglish
word "world" should be employed
in our English Bible to translate two
entirely different Greek words aion
and kosmos words which, to the care
ful student of the original, convey
distinct ideas. Aion is a word of
time, kosmos of place. The Bible
never speaks of the end of the kosmos.
no does it, in my judgment, employ !
any form of words to express that idea.
So again : I had understood the
resurrection to be that of the mortal
body ; and that it was still a thing of
the future with Noah and Abraham
and Issaac and Jacob and Moses and
Daniel and Paul and all the rest of
the faithful. But when I came to the
study of the word, and especially of
what Christ had said, some new
thoughts came to me. "I am the
God of Abraham, and the God of
Isaac and the God of Jacob. God is
not the God of the dead, but of the
living," was Christ's teaching, when
questioned by the Sadducees. What
ever the word "resurrection" means,
Abraham and Isaac and Jacob had
passed through it when Moses stood at
the burning bush.
Now that the resurrection of their
mortal bodies had then taken place,
nobody pretends to claim. The term,
then, can mean only one of two things,
either the future life in a disembodied
state, or the future life in a spiritual
body. But the point to which your
attention is here called, is that in
conversation with the Sadducees, our
divine Lord makes no reference to
any future resurrection which Abraham
and Isaac and Jacob were to pass
through : but he does make a direct
o
and unquestionable reference to an
event which had taken place already
when Moses stood at the bush fifteen
hundred years before Christ, and He
makes reference to it as showing what
the resurrection of the dead meant.
The discovery of this lact led to the
study of other passages referring to the
subject especially that in
Paul's
Fnitle to the Corinthians, in which
he distinctly asserts that flesh and
blood cannot inherit the Kingdom ofj
God : and that other, -It is sown
a natural body, it is raised a spiritual ,
hodT." If there is a natural body.
tUr'o 1c .Ica -i cnlritinlluini' 'inlittle!
k I iV. I . 13 IJU n " . J .
by little I found mysell coming to tne
conclusion that this natural body was
made simply for this world, and that
I should not have the least need of it,
or of anv nart of it hereafter ; that
1
i
the spiritual body was probably already i (Established 1882. Incorporated 1891.)

from heaven.
The laying down of the n..t;iul body :
and the ''standing up (anastisis)
in the spiritual body is the resurrection, j
and it takes ylace at the moment of,
death. To be absent from thenatutul
body, is to be present with the Lord ; :
and, never for one moment does the ;
apostle hint at being present with the
Lord, except in the house not made
with bands, and that house is the
spiritual body. It seems to me there
can be no mistake about this leing the
teaching of Paul.
Then as to the time of the final
judgment." I had believed and taught
that this also was at the end ot the
, nr T?,it tVif. nnitii-ll i-. what
says the Word? A very important lip
passsage reads thus: It is appointed thk:
into men once to die and after this! flfj
the judgment." How long after this?; Wj
Are all the righteous dead from Adam j WW.
onward still in suspense? Or has'j,,
Christ already said to them, Come men
ye blessed of My Father, inherit the
Kingdom prepared for you from the ' 40
fc jndation of the world." I believe
1 st fully that it means immediately
er. The p-cpositi-ju wet.i, which is
