On the strand of that deep wid sea
Whence thy spirit took its flight.
Alone I stand and think of thee,
Alone in my depth of night.
Alone, my dear one, all alone,
On the lip of the boundless sea.
Waiting for some sweet word o thino
That never comes back to me.

From the dephs of a wounded heart I pray
To the Lord who loved us much.
Strength for my weary, lonely Avay,
And his gentle, healing touch.
For my heart clings close to the tender love

But beckons me siill, from her home above.
To her side on the heavenly shore.

And I wait in the valley of prayer.
And I call, in the hush of the night,
And ask for the solace and care
Of God's holy angels of light.
And though never the touch of a sound
From their lips sends its thrill to my ear,
By the peace that my spirit has found,
I know that the angels are here. '

For my Father has "harkened and heard,"
And his angels aye come at the call
Of his children who trust in his word
And his mercy whatever befall.
And they bring me sweet thoughts froxi

Wher the Elver of Life floweth free,
And my loved one. at rest evermore.
Is waiting and watching for me.
To my soul comes their whisper, so sweet!
Tife' dark night, it is passing away ;
Soon, the dear ones, now sundered shall meet,
And shout at the dawning of day.
Thy dear loved ones glad soul is at rest,
By the river that flows from the throne,
In the light of God's face she is blest
Willi a peace that earth never has

With the angels sent down at my prayers.
And I look to you beautiful land
With a longing f$lt naver before,
While I dream of the clasp of a hand
Which awaits me upon that bright shore.

Gentlemen : With a just ap
preciation of the high honor con
ferred upon me and the great con
fidence reposed in me by the rep
resentatives of the Democratic
party of Xorth Carolina, I accept
the nomination for Associate Jus
tice of the Supreme Court, that
you are commissioned to tender.
Knowing that one, who properly
fills so exalted a position, must be
free from the exciting influences of
political strife, I still recognize the
right of a party, whoso conserva
tism has won the confidence of
our people, to provide through its
organization for ra:muiug all of
the judicial as well as executive
offices of the State government
with its own trused men.,
This plan is consistent with tlu
fixed faith that, in the future as in
the past, justice will be as fairly
melted out to all classes of citizens
in JSorth Carolina, as in any State
in the Union.
Allow me through you to tender
my siucers thanks to the Demo
cartic State Convention and to the
hosts of people, for whose weal
and under whose instruction they
acted.
In conclusion, gentlemen, I must
thank you for the very kind terms
in wliich you communicated the
message trom tne oouy you repre
sent. It is moreover gratifying to
me in the extreme, that a commit
tee composed of friends whom I
have honored and trusted for
years has been the chosen medi

convention aud myself.

Our Philadelphia Letter.
Correspondence of Tho Morjranton Star,
Philadelphia, July 21, 1SSS.
The Wm. M. Lloyd Company of
this city is one of tho most exten
sive lumber and coal handling con
cerns in the country. Their trade
in this city alone is sometimes
enormous, and at Williainsport,
Pa., they have a largo source of
supply and, I have no doubt, occu
py there as conspicuous a position
aiuwng the commercial Institutions
of that section as they do here.
Their lumber and coal yards in
Philadelphia cover a small town.
Only recently a whole row of
houses was bought to be torn
down and the ground used as an
extension to the lumber yard.
A firm sending out on an aver
age one hundred loads of lumber
a day, and a uot inconsiderable
number of tons of coal, must, you
may well imagine, own some
strong and higii-bred live-stock.
Six or seven stables accommodate
some sixty horses and seven mules.
The stables are separated because
of the lessened danger of a sweep
ing fire. Three men are constant
ly at wdik timing the day, clean
ing and otherwise keeping the
places in order. Each driver, and
they are all tried and experienced
men, is expected to attend to the
team placed in his charge, beside
haying the duty of harnessing, wl
course. Uut here is tne curious
part which I wanted to tell you
about:
.
The animals ru allied by clock
work. I'll explain. An ingeni
ous machine, regulated , by clock
work, furnishes the fodder to the
sixty-seven stalls with unfailing
regularity and without the neees
sary presence of a single employe

They wondered "whether Tanl

ana whether Paul had an unpub

church at Ephesus on the sub

The machine may be set to do
its work at any time of the day or
night. At Lloyd's the animals aie
fed at six in the morning, at noon,
and at six in the evening. At some
convenient time before these
hours the fodder is conveyed by
an easy , means to conduits or pipes
in the upper part of the buildings.
No further attention is requisite.
At the tinio fixed by the regulator
the feed is dropped into all the
stalls simultaneously. The beasts
then have ample time to eat and
when the drivers are ready to
take them out for the morning's
or afternoon's work, there is no
delay on account of feeding, some
thing all who have used horses
will aonreciate thoroughly, 1
think. Thus it saves tunc as well
as labor. Either the drivers or
men specially appointed for that
purpose, would have to consume
much time in doing what this ex
cellent machine does with exact
ness and to a firm like the one I
speak of, "Time is money.'
.
Pretty good, idea, isn't itl
It has become virtually univer
sally the custom among the
churches of largo cities to cloe at
least during one of the Summer
months. Then the pastors seek
recreation at the shore or amid
tlie mountains. Then the con-
irrecrations arc scattered, some of
the members following the exam
ple of their spiritual leaders (if
thev can offord it, financially) and
others spending the time at home,
attending divine services when
ever the doors of the houses of
God are not barred. The church
organization, church discipline,
which includes punctuality and
regularity of attendance, are all
temporarily weakened or destroy-
seats inniseit ou a chair, and a
girl, who is to play the queen,
takes the other chair, tho hidden
tub of water being where the thiul
chair should be.
Now the fun commences. A lit
tle boy or girl is brought in to be
introduced to their majestic? the
queen and king, and is told that
he is to be granted the tlUtiu-
guisncu iionor oi sitting on me
throue between them. After hav
ing bowed and knelt before the
royal pair, he is told to liso and
come forward aud bo seated ou the
throne. As he is in tho act of
takiug his seat, tho king, and
queen spring up and the little boy,
instead of fiudiug himself on a
throne, wakes up to the fact that
he is in a tub of cold water.
That's about the game the man
agers of the Third Tarty are try
ing to play on the unsophistica
ted, honest, temperance Democrat
ic voters of North Carolina. They
have ai ranged their throne, phic
ing in ono clwir king "Prohibi
tion" and on the other queen
u Woman Sutlrage," while under
the gaudy covering overspreading
it, they have placed tho Republi
can tub; and the uusophisticating
Democrat, if ho take a seat tin
that throne, ho may expect to find
himself, in November next, smear
ed all over with Radicalism.
. There is more temperance iu the
Democratic party today than there
is inthe Third Party, and Demo
crats would do well to examine
the trick before they take a seat
iu the Radical tub.
