We do not understand why boys iu towns and citie s are pei mitted to run at large on the street s, where they aie constantly coming m coutact with bad boys, and whei e they aie sore to hear evuy descrip tion of slang and profanity from the lips of immoral character, aDd where they are put up by unscru pulous person to all kinds of mis-, chief. Lincolnton has fewer idle boys ou the streets than most towns its s:zj. But there is some little degree of this looseness in oor town that rarents should at once tke s'eps to correct. Hiys or girls who are aliowed to wander at large ou the streets snldom tail to become mora or less corrupt Besides this, boys have no business idling around store, or other places where people are at work. Too much care cannot be exercised bv parents in this par ticular. WE HAVE RECEIVED a copy of Christian Thought wbicn contains a iao interesting and able discussion of "Jud cial Proceedings mentioned in tbe New Testament", by Kemp P. Battle, LL. D., President of tbe Uuiversity ot North Cirolioa. Dr. Batt e is learned iu scriptures and takes great delight in their study. The following is the closing para graph of his discussion: "It is wondeifu', when the sole object of t' e Evangelists is followed out with uuva'ying singleness ot purpose, tbat iucirientilly so much information about the history and geography of the country, and the government and occupation of the people, is giv. n. We nor only know Christ and IPs Apostles but we see through their eyes tbe nature of the flora and fauna of the laud, the clouds and mountains and hills and vales and waters, cities and villages and people and institutions. Betore OUr VlW paSS MiiCiOlo rtU Ititil ministers, sub kings and teirarchs. proconsuls, procurators and 1uum virs, bigh priests, wilh ibeirstrangr combination of temporal and ppii t- ual power, Sanbediin and boules, Jewish, Roman and (irek courts, cities great in p--wer and renown, repieseuiativcs ot ihe cimf Euro pean arid Asiatic races, mot's and lawful assemblies, judges aud bher ifl', prosecutors ail prisoner?, otli cers aud so ditrs, nobles and com monalty, tax-papers and tax atbeiers, paiaces and dungeous, piifc.tsof Jewry and heatbendom, leligious sects and political parties, philosophers and r at0is,roya! coui ts and happy hourjebolds, tbe various pursuits of busy people of diverse rces, iu city aud country and on the seas, with the conquering Romans over all. These aud much more appear iu their narrative by undesiLed glimpses aud all are iu strict harmony with the facts, kuowu lioin all other sources, of tbe history of this era, tbe most in teresting end momentous ot all the ages, tbe era wbeii moved ou tbe earth tbe wonderful Being, whose teachings, pui Hying tbe heart, tbe fountaiu ot all actions, have raised its inhabitants higher towards Heaven, and will raise them ever upwards, slowly but never receding, each generation eliminating some ot the evils of the precediug, until mankind shall be raised to tbe level of the angels.'' WE have noticed witli great pleasure ibe stand Mr. Hoke took in the Legislature aud are glad to see that otbers give testimony ut his ability and honesty. His one bill to make the peuitentiary self sustaining was worth more to the State the taxpaying people tban everything else done by the whole Assembly. We now nomi nate Alex Hoke tor tbe next Sena tor from Lincoln aud Catawba. Press and Carolinian. Ths Connecticut Legislature has passed a bill prohibiting the use ot tobacco lor smoking by minors under 3G years of age. To deliver Or SELL WAS MADE A CRIME BY this OeW law. Tbis is a good law. Doctors all testify to tbe evil effects of tobacco upon boys. Chronicle. Mis Willard h Xew Hook. Miss Willard has, at the urgent request of the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union, spent the winter months in wiitiug a book. From some kuowledge of the contents of tbe hook ami know ing Miss Willard's ability as a writ er I have no hesitation in sayiug that the work will be of great value to all who are interested in the up lifting of humanity: A reviewer in the Chicago Evening Journal baa the following to say of the new wo:k : ''As Miss Willard will celebrate her semi-centennial on the 28rh of S p te nber nexr, she entitles tbe book 'Glimpses ol F.lty years,' the Au. tocography ol an Americau Woin au." There is a prospect of its ap peaiiug simultaneously in England under the title of "A Prarie Girl's Career." Frances Willard is the frankest of women both by i atue aud nature ard those who have seen alvauced sheets say th-re is noth ing conventional about the work, but it is off hand, fresh and alto gether the most unique uelf-revela-tiou of the time. There is hardly a contemporary philanthropist or reformer whom Miss Willard does not know, be sidfs a mnjority of the leading liter ary lights of our land, and she will silhouette these besides giving a narrative account of her curious childhood ou tbe Western prairie (though her ancestors founded Con cord, the literary center of the na tion, and several of thein were Harvard Presidents, Boston preach ers, etc.) hei odd inventive school days, brilliant episode as a teacher, two years and more of foreign travi e), leading her to almost every Eu ropean capital aud as far east as Damascus, Baalbek and the Volga banks in Russia ; her Presidency o' a womau'd college and career as Professor in tbe Northwestern Uni versity at Evanatou, III., her home, and closing with her fif eeu yeais o National fame as a relortner, or ganizer aud speaker." Mary C. Woody Pres. of N. Carolina W. C. T. U. An exchange gives the fol'owing as the origin of the term 'Sands wich" as applied to a slice of meat between two slices of bread: "House wives, when putting op saudwicbes for tbtir school children's lur ches, can inform the little ones tbat tbe name comes from the Eul of Sand wich, a brilliant but profligate no blemau of the reign of George the Tbird, who was the first to put a slice of ham between two slices of bread; It is an admitted fac that the rtflnrfioiis ate ihe off-piug of al i ur actions', both natural aud spirit ual In tie confl cts .f life there are ma .y obstacles with which to cu ren ; an 1 without the liuitsol at feci ion, which are energy, lucilaticn, encouragement, vigor aud fullness,!! is impossible lor uiau to overcome them,but by tbe aid of the affections, with their fiuitn, he is enabled to dig to the bottom aud bring; up the ricb treasures of knowledge. God, iu his wise providence, form ed man aud endowed bini with in tellectual capacities capable of al most endless improvements, ami science stands with outstretched aims calling tor votaries that she may crown them, aud thus we are. permitted to assume our proper position, for those capacities arc weak ut first; like the beginnings of the great livers that receive their origin from some little rill iunniug down the hill or mountain side, to the great cateract, and flowing along the low-lauds and swelling the seas ; so are our minds expanded and enlarged by the af fectious for the scieuces. Hence the affections should have a dwelling in our hearts aud minds that we may press on for great and re nowned intelligence, for they are the source of all our actions, aDd tbev are the source from which all the great and ennobling discoveries and inventions have made their ap pearance, aud it is fioui them that others will receive their birth. L was on account of their afftctions for us tbat our aucestors wrote tbe history of the world, and other works that flow as au ocean of' knowledge just behind us, and stimulate us to scan the vast pages of nature aud grasp information from surroundiug objects, that animate us to turn subjects over in our minds and look at them on all sidep, and what is more to pluck bright honor from Ihe pale face moon, or dive into V e bottom of tbe mighty deep and bring up drowned honor by its locks. Ueoce education, the great stake in man'. mind, tbat infinitely transcends ii importance, all other temporal in terest, aud enables us to enjo.v civil and religious liberties, has, for its origin, the affections the spring of all action. Hence it is an evident fact that we mu-1 first have the af fections before we can be moved to enjoy the objects of nature, for the grand aud ennobling fruits of the affections, energy, incitation, force, encouragement", fullness and inter nal strength are the key to science, and open up the way to the vast discoveries, and inventions, yet to be made, and with this key we are enabled to unlock and enter in, and drink deeper and deeper of the crystal fountain of knowledge and receive its brightest aud most en duriug laurels. Thus we see the affections bring us success in all our works, they incite the covetous, the ambitious, and the voluptuous in their pursuits, they set us to work in all the affairs of life, thej stimulate us in all our pursuits, espcially in all affairs pursued with energy, force and vigor, the choicest fruits and first branch of the great tree of affection, which implanted those mighty principles in the breasts of the heroes of the world, the Caesars, the Alexanders, Pom-, pies and the mighty Bonapi't. The affections led our anct stors to the j discovery of many wr ndeiful things, I for instances tb- !oc orotive, one of the grandest intentions tbe world has ever prodmedhy which news, jpafsengers and pro nee ar trans ported from one country to another, and lio!n one nation to another, wdh almost immeasurable velocity. Electricity also, witb the grand in vention of the telegraph, which in a few moments informs us of won-di-rfnl conflagrations, pestilences and other events, from the rxost remote parrs of the world. Dr. Franklin from his affections for bis survivors, when he saw the light ing flashing out from the east and shining info the west and heard the mighty peals of thunder, was in fluenced to contrive a means by wldh to bottle electricity for our good, and Prof. Mcrse, tbe beioved son of science, harnessed it so that it is our obedient servant. And again tbe affections lead to the mvention of the 1 idles sewing machiue, one of ihe most magnifi cent'woiks that man could invent, for it stves their tender hand from making many stitt hea that other wise they would have to make. The world continues from age to age in perpetual commotion and agitatioD, but take away the affections aud you leave no a'ton, you de stroy all tnte'p'i-e. Thus tLe af fections promote education, the eon cling link that binds man to man ai d earth to Heaven. The affections kindle such emotion iu our hearts and n'nds that we ca"-i-ot'be still. From tLeui our fore fathers lae bult the invisib'e bridgf from shoie o r-bore across the lK)islerous and raging ocean. It from tbe affctioni that our minds become eniig'itened and are borne upon the wings of imagina tion, speed their way throughout tbe iiifluite regions of space, and leceive impressions from all sur louudiug objects, and thereby we are permitted to taste of tbe ex quibile aud inimitable beauties aud splendor i ot autonomy. The im ttgiuaiiou brings up the huge moo s i ers that geology tells us once roamed over this earth aud sported iu ita waters. Again from the various exercises tf love aud hatred, according to the circumstances of the object of these affections, as preseut or absent, certaiu or uu certaiu, probable or improbable, arise all those affections, desire, hope, fear, joy, grief, gratitude aud anger. From a vigorous, affection ate aad fervent love to God, neces sarily arise other religious affec tions, a dread of the displeasure of God ; gratitude to him tor his good ness, complacency and joy in him when he is sensibly present, grief aud anxiety wnen he appears to be absent. So we see that the affections are the foundation of hope, the great anchor to the soul of man, of love its companion, tbe chain wbich connects tbe anchor to tbe soul, so that we may anchor when we ieacb the haven of the paradise above. Educatiou then is the principle object in the mind of man, and there should be no sluggard in obtaining it. No man should do himself the gross injustice to believe and act upon that belief, that he can exact no influence. Every member of tbe community can do something and that someih'ug he is bound to do. It matters not wbat may be his condition cr calling, whether the station he occupies be public or private, whether he be rich cr poor, tbe simple fact that h has affec tions should excite his liveliest interest and call forth his noblest efforts. A. J. C. March 25, 1889. The Exodus. The exodus of the colored people isseiious enough as it is. It can only do harm to ex iggerate it. A leading Wake county farmer came into the office of the Sews and Ob server yesterdav to say tbat he had been reported as deprived entirely of labor and ar. his wits' euel for means to plant his crop, whereas in point of fact be had not even been crippled in his operations to any extent, not one of the thirty-eight or forty plows with which he had started out having had to be stop ped on account of the exodus. Six laboreis bad left his 'arm, four who worked for wages and two tenants and this was tbe extent of the reported "depopulation" of his large farm of its labo1- His ex perience was a fair sample of that of his neighbors, and we fancy it a fair sample of the experience of far mers in general. Tbe scum of the colored country population as a rnle has been taken away from a few counties. Tbe body of the col ored people the more reliable part ot the colored population remains unseduced from tbe homes and the work to which it is best adapted. Moreover there is a turn id the tide of the wish of the colored people to go. The few straggling accouuts of the promised land that get back here are not encouraging, and we thing it is safe to venture the asser tion that the exodus has reached its height and tbat the excitement it has produced among the colored people will now subside. At any rate all that can be done to ally that excitement -hould be done. Tbe poor negroes are being deluded away from a land and from oecupai tionn to which they are best suited, we have no doubt, and for the most part will eventually repent bitterly of their folly iu yielding to the voice ot the tempter. Whatever can be doDe to deter them from thus sac rificing their own interests as well as those of their employers should, therefor, be done. Chronicle.
