"OCR DREAMS."
Ob. ! if these burdened lives of ours
Should be made dreamless evermore;
If winsome hope should gem them o'er
Witn sinning day-dreams nevermore,
How colorless would seem the skv '
That now beams lovingly on high ; -
now yoiceless would all music be;
How dead would fall its ministry,
E'en love, the brightest star that shines,
Would hieless grow within the gloom
Of dreamless life's realitv.
Yea, life would be a tomb ; -Without
the cheering light that gleams
Afar beyond ua from our dreams. " r'
Then dream, oh soul! dream on, dream on,
.Until the heights of God are won.

My .Own Experience.
From the New York Ledger. ,
How well I remeaiber that winter
morning clear, bright, and bitterly
cold as a daydawn at the Nbrthern
Pole. The children were cross and
shivering in' their nursery, for, of
course, by- one of those fatalities
which seem to crowd upon the course
of housekeeping, the furnace fire had
been allowed to go nearly out.
Bridget was. scolding over fractured
water pipes in the kitchen and John
discovered three buttons off his shirt,
while I was trying, in vain, to brush
the tangles out of little Lilla's hair:
Everything seemed to go wrong, and
I was almost ready to cry, when at
last breakfast was announced, and
the fragrance of coffee and waffles
began to act like a balm upon my
perturbed spirit. Lilla was dancing
on tne rug. oeiore tne open grate
fire, the baby, tied in his high chair
in front of a mug of milk, laughed
and crowed, and John was just read
ing out from the newspaper, one of
those grotesque paragraphs which
make one laugh whether one will or
"not, when Bridget peeped around
the corner of the door.
"Please, ma'am," said she,"would
yez give me a bit o' mate and a bowl
o' coffee for a poor woman at the
door?"
"No," said I, my face growing frig
id in a second. "There is no sort o
chantv so toolishlv bestowed as
things given at the door."
John glanced mildly at me
"Food and drink, my dear," said
he, "can scarcely be misappropria
ted." . '
"But Mrs. Fuller told me that she
gave a breakfast to a beggar man
one morning last week at the door.
and the house was besieged-all day
by a- regular succession of tramps
They've a sort of telegraphic com
munication among themselves. And
I subscribe to the St. Villanova Alms
District, and all the church chart
ties, and I do not intend to com
mence the winter by harboring al
the wretched creatures who come to
the basement door. Tell the wo
man, Bridget, to go about her busi
ness."
"But she says she's hungry, mem
' "iYou tell her, I say, to go abou
her business," I reiterated, sternly
Bridget withdrew, muttering some
thing under her breath. Little Lill
looked hard at me; John went on
with his newspaper, wearing rather
a grieved and troubled expression
of countenance, and I poured out
the coffee, with a Spartan sense of
having done my duty. Nothing
more, was said on the subject, and I
was dressing to go out at about elev
ven o'clock,-when Lilla looked up
from her toys. '' ,
"Mamma," said she, "it must be
awful to be hungry, musn't it?"
"Of course," said I. "But why?" ;
"Oh, nothing," said Lilla, balanc
ing one blocK on top of another.
"Only I was thinking of that poor
woman Bridget sent away. Bridget
said she cried."
"Nonsense I" said I, irritably. "I
do wish Bridget wouldn't talk, so
foolishly."
So I tied on my velvet hat, folded
my new shawl luxuriantly around
my shoulders, and set forth to the
other end of town to do a little shop
ping. -
Or a good deal, rather. It was
near the. holiday times, and I Had a
long list of odds and ends on my
memorandum, so that it was long
past my regular lunch time before I
had suited myself with the various
items, and I began to feel famished,
Rockingham, Richmond County N. C,
"I'll go to : Mrcadelli's for my
unch," said I to myself. "An oys
ter roast and a Charlotte Russe will
be exactly what I Want.".,;
So I went in and sat down at one
of the "tiny, damask-covered tables,
and gave my order.' Just, however,
as the waiter was entering it in hi
ittle: book, I chanced -to put my
hand in my pocket for a handker
chief, and, to my ineffable amaze
ment and chagrin, my pocket-book
was gone. : ". '
Some of the light-fingered gentry,
who haunt the streets of New York
ike shadows, had relieved me of
every cent I had.
I rose hurriedly up.
"No matter," said I, waving my
liand to the waiter ; "you need not
take my order. I I will not lunch
here to-day."
The man looked at me as if he
thought I surely must be crazy ; but
I got out of the restaurant as fast as
I could, tantalized, all the way, with
he fragrant plates of soup, delicate
salads and deliciously smelling tea
and choculate which thelittle groups
of ladies were discussing all around
me.
Here I was, in New York, with
nearly two miles to walk, not a cent
in my pocket, and nearly famished.
looked greedily at the ginger
cookies and triangles of indigestible
looking apple pie on the penny stand
at the street corner.
I even found it in my heart to
envy the littl street Arabs who were
munching hard apples under the
shelter of doorwavs. On the whole
I think I never was so hungry in my
life.
lhe short winter atternoon was
drawing to a close as I dragged my
self wearily along the pavements,
looking with" longing .. eyes mto the
windows of the eating houses and
bakeries. -I could almost have
snatched from a school girl who
tripped along, the bun which she
was eating.
And all of a sudden Lilla's words
flashed across my memory :
"Mamma, it must be awfuf to-be
hungry, mustn't it?"
. The tears came into my eyes. "
"Could it be possible," I askd
myself, "that this was a judgement
upon me for my own. harsh decision
of that morning? My tribulations
were a mere accident. But the poor
woman who had been turned re
morselessly from my door had no
prospects of anything else."
The elevated trains whirled past;
the stages went by ; and I, wearied
in every limb, was unable to avail
m'vself of their aid. It was dark
when at last I reached home
I threw m-self, completely tired
out, on a lounge in front of the fire."
"Bridget," said I, "bring me some
thing to eat. Quick. I am almost
starved."
The girl looked at me in amaze
ment. -
'Sure, it'll be dinner time in an
hour, ma'am," said she.
"An hour 1" cried I, impatiently
"I can't wait five miuutes. Brin
me a cup of tea,. a slice of toast, a
bowl of soup anything you have."
Bridget went out, and presently
I hoard her voice raised high in al
tercation with some one in thekiteh
en. . .
"She turned a starving woman
away from the door this morning,'
said she. ' "Let her see now how she
likes it herself."
"I Won't go 1" I won't go !" said I
and 1 felt . myself being pushed into
the twilight, when the dizzy shower
of snow was. beginning to fall like a
host of dim, white spectres fleeing
through the air. But all my feeble
efforts were unavailing; the deadly
chill seemed to strike to my very
heart. I was just falling on the
threshold when Bridget's voice
Bminrifid in mv ear. - i
"Bless and Preserve us, ma'am
Is it dreamin' ye are ?'.'
She had come in with a bowl of
smoking tomato soup and, found
me rolling on the floor.
"Bridget," said I, as I sat up and
took the bowl from her, "I did very
wrong about that creature who
came begging to the door this morn-
3SS3S
ling, when -we -were at breakfast.
Hereafter, riever send anyone empty
away, as long as there is a crust in

"Sure, ma'am, I never will."

Job, and, on a wager of 200, he re

Repabllcan Socialism in North 'Carolina.
From the Wilmington Messenger.
jn lrial 0f Herr Most, in New
York, last week,' one of the witness-
es for the defence, Herman Stielitz,
said that he was a socialist, and that
the popular estimation, it. is so. -
Practically, it is nof, but is found
among all classes and conditions of
men in this country, of domestic as
well as foreign birth
But there is a socialism even in
must have seen it, and yet never
have recognized it as 'such. It bas
been most prevalent in the North,
yet it has not been altogether with
out influence in the South. : It is a
wretchedly unpatriotic business.
If we consider the modern politics
of North Carolina we find some
tracea of the' slimy serpent even' in
our midst. We have seen political
canipaigns waged in this State in
which the fight was leveled squarely
against existing . social conditions,
against our very society, in fact, and
we have wondered how these things
can he We bave geen men of in
tellieence. of personal honestv and
8elf-respect enlisted in the service of
a rabble, whose dearest" ambition
waa to destroy our social bulwarks
and eqUaiize sociai conditions so
l!iat none should constitute a socie
ty entrance to which could only be
secure(j w pprSonal honesty and in
tegrhy, and personal accomplish
inentS; or, shall we say,-personal
braininess?
'The RepubliCan party, both State
and National, is a. socialistic body
This is evident from its movements
in the past few years Its brightest
exponent is Senator Ingalls. of Kan
8as whom Roscoe - Conkling once
. . ; ' . . . .
pronounced $i" Western cabbage wjth
a literary, flavor." The Republican
party once gave the colored people
the right of suffrage. Then its a'ni
mU8 was professedly a good one. It
claimed to be acting under the con
stitution "all men are born equal,"
etc Novv ingalls is certain that ne
gro suffrage is a failure. Why ? Be- j
cause the constitution is all wrong ?
No. Because negro suffrage, as it
wnR nrimnallv and wickedlv intend-
ed, has not proved -an effective ally
to Republican aggrandizement.
Whnf. brnut.iful ironv 'there is in the
thought that the latter-day saints of
abolition and of hatred of slavery
are now anxious to repeal the laws
which they enacted giving ; the col-
0,-ed man freedom and the right of
suffrage.
We do not think the people of
North " Carolina are prepared to ac
cept men of socialistic views as their
leaders. Therefore, we'believe that,
in the election next year, they will
give these local firebrands the bene
fit ot substantial extinction. No
North Carolinian can in any way be
benefited-by socialistic practices and
sentiments, and as the Republican
party? holds these views, the best
thing our people can do is to turrt
them down.. Nor should the "In-
dependents" be overlooked. The
man who bolts the Democratic par-
ty in this State because it is not good
enough for him, at once enlists with
the Republican party. As to this
