Down the long hillside, hard and red, Furrowed by rain-gush and baked by sun, With creeping, shuffling, stumbling tread, Weak of limbs and bowed of head, Into the town comes Ruflin Dunn. Naught cares he for the handsome streets; 'Tis all to him like a land of dreams; His dull eyes peer at each face he meets; The selfsame query each passer greets : "Whar's yo' keepin' my young Mars' Jeems? " Rude little scoffers, white and black, Tester his way with saucy tongue; Never a word does he fling them back, But grips his staff till his fingers crack: "No sech niggahs when I war young." "Where do yo' come from, uncle, say? Who's Mars' Jeems that yo' wan' toh fine?" At the kindly accent his footsteps stay, His old head bobs its kinks of gray : "Down whar de Tar an' Fishin' jine. "Yas, dat's de place, sah, sho's yo' bawn Whar young Mars Jeems an' 1 war raise' De fattes' lan' de sun shines awn, Er puffec' 6nicker runs froo de cawn, When de sof breeze 'mongst hit plays. " 'Bout young Mars' Jeems? I kain' reely tell Miss Sallie say he war tu'k insane, Leas'ways he sold what warn't his toh sell, Den harunned erway an' stayed ontwel A oss'fer brung him home again. "Sebeu long years he's gotter wu'k In de chain-gang, jes' lak er striped coon, Ole marster's heart's jes' natch'ly bru'k ; Ain't spoke er word senee his bed he tu'k, An' he sho'ly won' las' froo June. "Jes' look'er dis ami ! See de muscle stan', Toh be shore 'taint what 'twar once, I reckon I'd mek' er right smart ban' At rollin' er barrer, or shubblin' san', An' at ditchin' I ain't no dunce. "But young Mars' Jeems ! 'T jes meks me hu't, Sorter scringey, as yo' kin see, Toh tink ob him in dat ugly 6hu't, His long white fingers stained wid du't, Doin' wu'k what's b'longin' toh me. "So I'se jes' gwine say toh de chain-gang boss Drefful mixy, dese folks an' teams, Dat Ituilin Dunn kin wu'k lak er boss, An' de ole Norf State won't hab no loss, Tekin' me stidder young Mars' Jeems. 'Won't do no swoppin? Dat's yo' mistake! Dey will now, yo' jes' be boun'. Er gemmun's sumpin' folks kain' make, An' dey's 'sider'bul easier tings toh break Dan dese niggahs loafiu' 'roun'. "Ob co'se dey'll tek me mighty strange Toh hole Mars' Jeems when 'taint no use. Ef seben fo' seben ain' fa'r exchange, Wal, I ain' bigotty how dey 'range; I kin stay twel dey tu'n me loose." PUNGENCIES. "What's in a name? " a recent traveler was heard to exclaim. '"Why, about the hottest country on the globe is Chili ! " Exchange. Absent-minded Professor (in the bath tub) : "Well, well! Now I have forgot ten what I got in here for!" Fliegende Blaetter. Old Lady (to policeman at the corner) : "I want the Bank of England." Polite Policeman : "I'm afraid I can't let you have it, mum." rf id-Bits. Uncle Hiram : "They say that the sun never sets on the British Empire." Aunt Hannah: "Doesn't it, now? And we have such lovely sunsets over here ! " Puck. "Is there a stationery store in town?" asked a visitor in a Kansas hotel. "No, sir," replied the clerk, as he shook his head: "this town is in the cyclone belt." Harper's Bazar. A smart little girl wrote an essay on "Man" and said; "When God made man hegazed on his work and said to himself, 'I can do better than that next time,' and then he made woman." The only conclusive evidence of a man's sincerity is that he gives himself for a principle. Words, money, all things else, are comparatively easy to give away; but, when a man makes gifts of his dai ly life and practice, it is plain that the truth, whatever it may be, has taken pos session of him. Lowell. Edward Everett I lale's sermon to the Harvard students contained the usual little gems of thought that he is always scattering broadcast. There was a world of wisdom in his caution to the students always to try to associate with their su periors and to remember that their superiors might be their bootblacks. Boston Herald. At the meeting of the Eighty-eight Club in Liverpool, lev. I'obert Collyer altogether disavowed the doctorate of divinity which has been so generally at tributed to him. He was not accustomed to the 1). D. after his name, he said, and did not know why his friends put it there. It was quite true that early in his career, when he left the Methodist body, similar letters had been used in connec tion with his name; but then they were of a different character, before instead of after, and something came between. Inquirer. A Country School House. The following interesting description of a country school house in the back woods of North Carolina was taken from the report of the state superintendent of public instruction. "A log cabin eighteen by twenty-two feet, and six feet high, board roof, steps built like a partridge trap, locust pillars, walls of chestnut logs, puncheon floor with puncheons eighteen to twenty-four inches wide. The chimney built of stone with fire-place five and a half feet wide, hearth stone three by seven feet. The furniture consisted of sixteen pegs, to hang hats on, six benches, one chair and one switch five feet long. There were twenty-six children present, ranging in height f rotii thirty-nine inches to five and a half feet. The house is a fair specimen of olden times. No cupola, no window. No saw has been used and but few nails ; the hand-axe, the locust pin. Webster's immortal blue black is the text book. It is wonderf ul to be there ! No slate, no blackboard, no globe except the grand climax peak upon which they stand, and which is covered with wild forest, rattle weed, fern and golden rod." Raleigh News and Observer. A Ick Ileply That quick wit is not confined to cities was proved the other day by a young woman who was rambling along one of our roads. She was dressed smartly, and when she met a small, bare-legged urchin car rying a bird's nest with eggs in it, she did not hesitate to stop him. "You wicked boy," she said. "How could you rob that nest? No doubt the poor mother is now grieving for the loss of her eggs." "Oh, she don't care," said the boy, edging away; she's on your hat!" Cape Ann Advertiser. An exchange says: "A man commit ted suicide while suffering under a mental apparition." Moody and the .Sinless 31 an. Some time ago a man who claimed per fection went to Evangelist Moody and commiserated him on his low level of Christian experience. Mr. Moody, in a kind manner, asked his caller if he never sinned nor did any wrong. "No; 1 have not sinned for years, neither have I done anything that was wrong," was the prompt reply. "Well, I'm glad to know it," said Mr. Moody, "but before I am convinced I would like to ask your wife." November Ladies'1 Home Journal. She: "Aren't you afraid to work out here in the wheat?" He: "Why, no, ma'am. Why?" She: "There are so many bulls and bears in wheat, they say." New York Ledger. C. T. HAWES, DENTIST, Office New Hampshire Ave., over News Depot, in front of Hotel Ozone, SOUTHERN PINES, N. C. ADVERTISED LETTERS. The following are the unclaimed letters adver tised at the post ofHce, Pinehurst, Moore county, North Carolina, Nov. 1, 18!)8 : Henry Auritte (2), Tank Fry, Valvin Moore. C. D. BENIJOW, Postmaster. A London curate the other day re ceived an astonishing answer to an in quiry after a parishioner's health. "Well, sir," said the parishioner, "sometimes I feels anyhow, sometimes I feels nohow ; and there be times when I feels as stift'as a himmedge! " Argonaut. ft
