"As one whom his mother comfortethJ Like a cradle rocking, rocking, Silent, peaceful, to and fro, Like a mother's sweet looks dropping On the little face below Ilasgs the green earth, swinging, turning, Jarless, noiseless, eafe and slow ; Falls the light of God's face, bending Down, and watching us below And as feeble babes that suffer, Toss and cry, and will not rest, Are the ones the tender mother Holds the closest, loves the best ; So, when we are weak and wretched, By our sin weighed down, distressed, Then it is that God's great patience Holds us closest, loves us test. O reat heart of God ! whose loving Cannot hindered be nor crossed, Wilt not weary will not even In our death irseli be lost Love divine ! ot such great loving Only mothers know the cost ; Cost of love, which all love passing, Gave a son to save the lost. Saxe Holm. Old Homestead. CHILDREN'S STORY. Dildrum, Doldrum's Dead, rNE cold day the little ben jh housekeeper sat in a rocking chair by her own fireside read- ingr, when m walked a great yellow cat. "Ob, Mr. Tom, how you frighten. ed me ; I thought you were a bear. What brought you here V 'My feet broaght me," he auswen. ed rudely. "I am cold and want to rest and get warm.7' "Very well, then," said the feood natured little hen, 'klie down on the rug before the lire and get warm and take a good nap.1' So the cat lay dowuaod weut fast asleep, end the littls ben read on about a fox catching a goose, which made her shiver in her feathers. The cat was still sound asleep, but began to terk and quiver all over. The little hen watched him, fearing he had a tit. Presently a voice seemed to come down the chimney, saying : "Dildrum, Doldrum's dead.7' Up screamed the cat as it it bad been shot, and screamed out : "Is Doldrum dead V7 The voice came again, saying : "Dildrum, Doldrum's dead." Then the cat bounded out of the house, witn tail erect and twice its natural size. The little hen was so astonished she went to the door to see where he went. But he was out of sight, and the prairie dogs were barking as if they wanted to tear np something. Down by the beaver dam where the beavers were at work the cat ran. "Whither away so fast?" called out the beavers. "Is Doldrum dead?" screamed the cat "Say, is Doldrum dead !" "Who is Doldrum?" they asked. Without replying the cat shot away again, and ran against a fox that was peering at him irom behind a tree, "Is Doldrum dead?" asked the cat. "That depends upon whether he breathes or not,'' replied the fox. 'But who is Doldrum V The cat made no answer, but ran as if a hundred hornets were after him. "Ugh ! that fellow is scared,'7 said the fox, "1 wonder what's up!" "Why, his tail is up, ' said a coon loosing down from overhead. "Hallo, Mr. doo, you op there t" "I'm always op here when I'm not down there.7' "What do you think is the matter with that yellow cat, Mr. Coon V "I think he has a bee in his bon net, Mr. Fox.'7 "Well, come down and let's go and see what he's after.'7 "All light,77 and down he came, flattening himself to the tree and slipping down backward as easy as anything. ; But they didn't catch up with the cat ; he was too far ahead by this time. He was still running when tbe rabbit hailed him. "HI, bi 1 What's your hony !" "Is Doldrum dead?" asked tbe cat "Who is Doldrum ?" inquired the rabbit. Bat the cat was off again. "Mercy on 3e I" exclaimed tbe rabbit; 'there ho goes, tearing through the woods like a young cy clone, and he is nearly out of breath now. t act is that fellow has been 'out with the boys7 all night, and if he doesn't drop in his tracks before nifcht 1'il sell myself for a Dutch man. " Still ihe cat rat on and on. After a vhile in bis headloug course he t-tumbled over a weasel that was ly ing in the ennshiue. "Hallo I What do jou mean by ruuniug over me ?" demanded the weasel angrily; "Seems as if you have outrun your manners.'7 "Is is my name Dildram V pant ed the cat in a weak voice. "What ?'7 "Is is Doldrum dead ?" and here hi voice grew ao faint as hardly to be beard. "He his iun himself down,'7 said the weasel. "I'll go for the doctor.7' A wise old owl dwelt in a hollow tree near, and to him the weasel went. "Doctor, doctor, wake up and come out. Here's a catastrophe.7' "A what sort ot a fee? Ym al ways ready for fee?," and a solemn! oi l owl stepped out with his medi cine case j "A yellow cat has tumbled over! half dead and is asking strange questions,'' explained the weasel. The owl hurried to his patient, and after putting on his spectacles proceeded to make an examination. He felt the cat's pulse, looked at his tongue, stared at his eyes, and peer td down into one ear. "Catalepsy, I'm afraid," said the owl. But in the feeblest whisper the cat asked : "Isis my name Dildrum ? Is is Tinllriim "Ab, a clear case of jimjaaa!?. ie, and brain fever. I'll just bleed bim and put a cataplasm on the top of his bead, and to- morrow he'll be all right again." said the doctor. "Is my name Dildrum !" "No," answered tne doctor, "your name's Tom; and you are nothing but a yellow cat that is dead beat from too much carousing and caters wauling." "But, doctor,' said the weasel, what does he mean by Dildrum and Doldrum ! ' "It means that he has got the jim jams, aud got 'em badly. There isn't auy Dildrum and Doldrum. He dreamed it and thought it true, aud so made a fool of himself, and like to run himself to death besides." And thus the wise old owl doctor solved the mystery of Dildrum and Doldrum, Just as the owl said he would be, the cat was all right next day. As soon as he took tbe mustard plaster off bis head he washed his face and went home. That night the owl lit in a tree near tbe cat's house to see how he was getting along. Then he boot ed to let Tom know be was there. "To-whoo, toswhoo, towboo-ar I7' "Hallo, doctor, is that you V1 "Yes, Tom- How are you ?" "Firstrate. But my wife is mad and I am trying to pacify her. Mas ri-ah V "Call her again, Tom." "Mari-ah, come here. I'm the bully boy with the glass eye." "Bully for you, Tom," laughed the owl. "Ob, I'm a pretty yellow cat, WJth a silk cravat, And a stove-pipe bat, And I'm off to see Miss Dinah," sang Tom, winking at the owl. "Ob, you are, are you V equalled Maria, putting her head out at the window. "I thought that would fetch her," saidTom. "You better go off bunting for something to eat, you lazy, goods for-nothing catamoont of a cat. Not a blessed thing in tbe honse to eat, and you fooling your time away 1" screamed Maria. Then the owl hooted : "To-whoo, to w boo, I cook tor myself, Who cooks for you ! ' "I'm goioe now, Maria," said Tom; "and see if I don't come back with a ''dish and a spoon and a fat rac coon.7 " "And don't get on another spree Tom, and have another doator's bill to pay.'' "That I won't Maria,' said Tom. And he never did. again, but be never failed to Mnsh whenever he beard come one say : uDildruin, Doldruo's dead.7' Julia BaOox. A. OliHMtly Joke. The Morganton Herald of this wt-ek says : W. S. Roper, an inoffen sive, respectable ciiizeu lives with his family near old Shiloh church a mile from Linville river in this couuty. With his grief stricken wife he is watchirlg now by the bedside of his little daughter, Lau ra, who lies unconscious iu one of tbe rooms of his modett faun house with a deep, ugly gash in her kn!l through which can be seen tbe pul sations of the brain. A few eveuiogs since there was a wedding at Roper's, his daughter M 83 A. L. Roper and Mr. W. A. Lefevers being married by Justice W. T. Harbeson, in the presence of a small party of friends. That night some of the neighbor men and boys got together aud decided to give the newly wedded pair a "Serenade," as they called it. Tin pans, and horns and gongs and any thing that would make a noise were selected, aud some of the party supplied themselves with guns and pistols to add to the racket a din. Some time after dark they sur rounded the Roper dwelling and commenced the fun. The family was at first startled by the unex pected noise, but soon becoming convinced that it was only a friend ly surprise party they began to open tbe doors and windows and invite the merry makers to come into the bouse. At nnn nf riMnrliiWid tho Iirw1 groom's sister, Miss Lefevers, and the sixteen year old sister of the bride were standing looking out at the "serenaders" and laughing at the frightful racket they were rais ing outside. Some of the boys in the crowd had provided themselves with guns which they bad loaded with large charges ot powder and paper wads. One of the party, see. ing tbe two at tbe window, and thinking perhaps to frighten them by discharging a guu near their faces, stepped uuder the high win dow and elevating his gun, pulled the trigger. At the report, Miss Lefevers fell to the floor shocked by the explosion, and Miss Laura Ro per, uttering a cry of pin, sank down upon the floor with the blood gushing from her head, and her face burned by the power. The pa- per wad, discharged at close range, had ploughed a long furrow through her skull, exposing the brain, and inflicting a wound from which the doctory aay it will be almost a mir acle if she recovers. J im Gibbs, a son af Win. Gibbs, Esq., who has been accused of this act of criminal carelessness, has left for parts nuknown. On Mouday Zion Beufield, John Williams, Jr., Rufus Carswell, Ran Caldwell, Tom Benfield, Martin Benfield, Gaither Conly, Caleb Kin caid, white, and Will Conly and John Conly, colored, who were in the serenading party, were tried before Joshua Gibbs, Esq., on a charge of forcible trespass, and were bound over to the next lerm ot Burke Superior Court, thoogh there is no evidence whatever to show that they were iu any way connect ed with the deplorable accident or that tbey went on the premises with any other intent than to make a big fuss and have a little fun at the ex pense of the bride and groom.

Girls, don'c marry before you have acquired a thorough koowb edge of housekeeping. It may be a well-to-do father or over indul gent mother has fehielded you irom tbese homely dutits, but some time in life you may face tbem and it will come tbe harder. I have often heard my mother tell her ex perience of the firt years of her uianied life. Grandfather was a slaveholder, and of course the cares ot tbe household devolved upon them, but when ehe left her home to become the wife of a poor man her inexperience caused her mauy a regret aud much labor. It is true j oil may marry a man wbo6 iat come will enable him to plac? a Di nah in the kitchen and a Chloe in the chamber, but after a few weeks association with these worthies you discover that the latter has a thiev ing propensity aud Dinah is feeding an innumerable company of aunts and cousins fiom your larder con veyed through the back door. This will never do j you immedi ately discharge them, but where to get others ? The day is excessively warm, the intelligence office five blocks away, but thither vou bend yc ur steps and arrive only iu time to iearn that the experienced girls have been employed and the few regaining ones are almost as ignor ant as yourself. You return home di-couraged and naturally out of humor. What shall you do! There if a next-door neighbor who wonld willingly teach youbut you baveu7t tii:.e to learn now ; you will just take a cook book and "go by" the receipts. How obstinate the fire is, how tenaciously tbe dough cleaves to your hands. What do they put 'n it to make it come off? And ob, u'.ai, iucio IU llic uuui" a j etauua Charlie, who has had nothing but a cold lunch to eat since morning. Of course you burst into tears, and if he has any heart he says "never mind," bat he is disappoint ed never the less when the forloneu looking bread finally appeals on the table, aud the heavy cake in which you forgot to stir tbe bakiug powder is served for desert. "Ob, well," you thiuk, "I always coold cheer bim with one of Mendelss sohn's productions," so you open tbe piano and begin to warble, but tbe spell is broken. You forget that when you played that in your fath er's house Charlie had just dined at a five-dollar-a-day hotel on fried oysters, chicken salad, aud hot rolls, and was in a proper mood to appre ciate the popular melody. But wbat are the moxt exquisite strains from Mendelssohn, Strausf, or Mozart to a hungry, disappointed man? Dear, girls, this is a scene from which you instinctively shrink, but it is one, or one similar, in which many like you have been actors. I often think it would be well if our states would adopt tbe German method of teaching housekeeping schools, and no matter what posix tion we as women intend to fill let us learn this as an educational re quirement, and if destiny leads u into a sphere which will not neces sitate their performance we cau re linguish tbem with more grace than we cau learn tbem. Prudence, in Old Homestead. Children or the Public School to be Taught the Effect or Alcohol on the System. On the principle that '-forewarn-ed is forearmed," thejlast legislature passed an act in regard to having the children of the public schools trained to know the evil of the use of alcohol. Tne act reads as fol lows : "An act passed for the Htudy of tbe nature of alcoholic drinks and narcotics, and of their effect upon tbe human system, in the public schools. All classes in public schools, to be instructed in the nature of al coholic drinks, and narcotics and their effects upon the hnman system, text books to be perscribed ; re qQiiites of the text books, teachers to be examined on the subjects; school committeemen or other offi cers faMing to carry out the provis ions of this act to be removed Irom officu Your Boy. You do not know what is in bim. Bear with him ; be patient; wait. He is a boy, and most boys are bad. Xou think him so light-hearted, aud fear he is lightheaded as well. Re member he calls you father. When be played in your lap you foodly hoped he would some day be a great aud useful man. Now that he has grown larger, and his youug blood diives huu iuto gleelul sport, and makes him impatient of serious things, rattliug, playful, thoughtless, you almost despair. But don't be snappish and suarlisb, aud make him feel you aie disappointed in him. lie is your boy and you have to live with bim. lie beats your name and Is to send it on down tbe stream of time. lie inherits your fortune and fame, and is to transmit fbem to generations to come. It may be difficult to govern bim, but be patient. He may seem ad verse to every-tbing useful and good, but wait. No one cau tell what is in a boy. tie may surprise you some day. Hope. Let him gro. While bis body grows larger aud stronger, his meutal and moral nature may expaud and improve. Educate your boy. You may think money spent m that way is money spent in vain. There is nothing in him ; he has no pride, no ambition. You don't know. No one can tell what there is in a boy. besides, there may be au unkiudly spark, an onfanned flame, a smouldering fire, a latent energy, which the teacher's aid may stir, the associatiou with books may arouse, develop, and di rect, and thus statt your boy agoiug with such energy that no power on earth could stop bim short of tbe topmost round in the ladder of time, If you cannot educate him, let make him a giant with whom none dare interfere. Such are tbe best men iu the world. The greatest benefactors of the race hares tcoped their shoulders to bear burdtn?, have carried hands haidened with rough labor, have endured the fa tigue of toil. Many such are iu our minds now. Labor conquora all thiugs. Tbe old Roman was right. We see it in a thousand instances. Labor makes the man. No boy ever came to be a man, the noblest work of God, without labor. This is God's great law j there is a divine philosophy in it. Let your boy work ; if he will not work, make him work. There is no progress, no de velopment, no outcome, no true manhood, without it. We mast work. Father, be kind to your boy. We know wbat a mother will do. Thank God, a mother's love, a mother's prayers follow us still, aud the mem. ory of her anxious tears shall never fade out during the succession of years. Finally, but not least, pray for our boy. God hears prayer. Do the best you can, commit all yoa cannot do to God, and hope. Nev. er despair, for no one knows what is iu a boy. Old Homestead. It rati ha 111 Cares 'ot. Charlotte, N. C, May 15.
