I turned my eyes toward the grand old elms that shaded four little mounds. To granite shafts nor sculptured monuments told with worldly vanity who rested there; but four unassuming head stones told the stranger it was hallowed ground. There slept the father Avho had often. looked proudly on his first-born, and wh--.ee caressing hand had often been laid on the tlaxen head that will soon whiten with the frosts of winter; and by his side rests the ashes of an adored mother what volumes iu that single word!- 'Twas she who supported my tottering foot? teps in infancy and directed them in the path of recti tude; 'twas she that instilled into my young mind the best feelings of my nature; 'twas at her knee that I first knelt and was taught to lisp "Oar Father which art in heaven," and whose counsels I have endeavored to follow in youth and mauhood, There brother and sister also sleep quietly all little heeding who tearfully bent above them with a yearning, aching heart. Iu those hours of sadness aud solitude I believe the angels hover o'er us, aud joyfully bear to Hea ven the softly mm mured word sent to a throne ofgra ie while kne eling on sue h hallowed ground. Where were the little playmates who, hand linked in hand, had roamed the field with me aud gathered the daisies and batter cups ere morning dew dried from their little petals! Gone all gone! and I alone am left to battle yet a little longer with cares of life; to carry the cross a little farther on. and theu go quietly to rest with those goua before.

Let no boy think he can be made a ge.itleman by the clothes he wears, ihe horse he rides, the stick he carries, the dog that trots after hiru, the house that he lives in, or the money that he spends. Not one, or all these things do it; and yet eveiybody may be a gentle man. He may wear an old lhat, cheap clothes, live in a;poor house. and spend but little money. But howf By being true, manly, and honorable. By keeping himself neat and respectable. By being civil and courteous.

Morgan, which were published jesterday on the financial page of the Times Dispatch, were timely. There has been a deluge of stocks and a scarcity of money and there is rea son for depression in the stock market. But the stock market is not the country. Business iv good, our factories are humming, our railroads have all the traffic they can handle, our export trade is larger than ever, and there is every promise that prosperity will continue for an indefinite period. We do not undertake to advise those who trade in stocks, but tho se who throw good stocks over board at present prices on the ground that everything is going to smash are maKing a foolish sacri fice. Richmond Times Dispatch, The Weather for 1903. Harry T. Johnson, ex-observer of the United States weather bureau, has issued a crop forecast that the spring of 11)03 will be marked by rainfall slightly above the normal, but 1 ot excessive over the great grain-growing belts. Winter aud spring wheat will be harvested under decidedly more favorable conditions than 1902. Summer will be ideal; warmer fhau 1902, but less rain fall. No dz'oughts or excessive wet harvests will occur, although there will be ample sunshine and moisture- From above conditions the wheat crop of 1903, a,s well as the cotton crop, will be the most abu ndant in the history of the country .rdware "Cornpi Siocsssorsto-Crawfcrd-Brcoks Hardware Company, WINSTON-SALEM N.
