ind a generous and .hospitable, neighbor.
t )f . all my .'good neighbors there is none
potter than te. : And he is a man among
Jthc best- informed in his community.
About thirty years ago. he wa graduated
UitChapcl Ilill. In his jrounger days he
fwis supposed to have, '-mildly at least, a
jioiiucai amoiiion. vt any rate, lc.is a
pact that he sat two sessions as a llepresen-.
ftativc of his county in the ' State Legisla
iture. (And we never had a better repre
sentative,", many of his older neighbors
jsay to-day. ! I need not 'tell you more
jabout old Mr. Parmell. You i know him'.
LVhd I charge j-ou to be tliankful and rev
ierently grateful for the acquaintance of
Ssuch a man. There is ' nothing better in'
fXorth Carolina, actual, or probable, than'.
ic. 1 should, by the way lite for you to
onsider the time in which Tve live and'
nfo which his old age extends:' ' '-- .
j' pn sfuch a view, I am bound to consider
very existence the leisureful, calm,
fcvl-n philosophical life , he leads--worth"
more to his neighbors and to his country
than the grandest political or agTicultufal
achievement that he ever dreampt of doing
in his younger days. For not all high
;utl great good (perhaps never the highest
and greatest) consists in' greiit deeds nor
my actual ' pci-formauce w hatsoevcf "biit
i;athcr in the fact of a significant existence.
'tbnsider this old gentleman ! For ' my
part I acknowledge a deep reverence for j
him, not for his great abilities, for he has
none; not for his learning, I know many
k fool that is more learned ; than he ; ' not
for his achievements, for he never did any
thing wonderful or even unusual ; nor yet
for his opinions, for he rides an old hobby' 1
that is by no means a Pegasus, and many ,
a time in his discussions of his favorite
Subjects I have joined in the general smile
sit his impracticable antj aiitifjuated. theo
ries ; not for any of these do I reverence ,
him and congratulate myself on his ac
quaintance, but because he is one of the.
old heroes of Leisure left even'yet among
us a piece of the calm life of the. Past
existing here in our noisy, foolish Present.
We buzz and whirl our lives away, cutting
tjie thread that holdsus,-much as a whirl
igig in the hands - of a boy. He does no
such thing. He is calm. The air about
him is quiet, but not stagnant exactly. It
is peaceful. You cannot conceive of that
bid man's asking seriously the question,
'j Is -hie worth living t but our active,
learned pluloso'phers , are engaged now
most seriously in its discussion. "Life
worth living?". Fool ! ,You cannot know
tjhis old gentleman and understand his keen
and unquestioning joy of life and thereaf
4ir seriously ask yourself such a , ,loors
uery. Moreover, no society that is run
by machinery and oiled (yea, even to
stench !),with "culture" has yet produced
such a womau as . Mrs. . Parmell with that
ndmeless grace and - delicacy and withal
that dignity of hers: And the daughter
ofi -her old age may:-be worth your atten-
' tan if you are a bachelor,' even if she is
better jskilled in bread-kneading than in .
" Operatic music. But she can sing for y ou.
I it you have .a soul in your ear.
j So much by way , of introducing; you to 1
'armell the younger. For he also is well
worth knowing. He. is a worthy son of

a luscious fruited ancestry .and, even here
I here it grows, its leaves . and fragrance .
nd blossoms remind one of "Florida. And
4f my orange tree and of my young friend,
t am bound to say what is written in the
Scriptures j concerning a certain tree,
tXothing but leaves." XJver my orange
Jhrub hangs the barren curse of a climate:
.yer my young friend hangs the barrener
Cqrse of a time. And the curse of a cli
'iate and the curse of a time Neither is as .. ;
withering as the curse of a God. :
- j Let us see his history. Eight or ten years
ago he' was a bright and, handsome lad. I"
ised to see him. nearly every day riding
ijhe graceful horse hia father gave him on
Sis fifteenth birthday; and the youthlul
iW and grace of both horse and rider was
4 " pleasant ; sight. The next time I saw
im, for he was sent' to Bingham about
ilmt time, he Wore his 'military honours
promisingly, i '.-i His body was' developing
trong and his mind-too. For beneath
puerilities you could easily Bee the germs, ,
,f a magnificent manhood. Then, he went ,
io college. What he did there, as J- the. ,
world in general considers it and as he con
siders it, may -be , summed up"thui: ' He
)ore himself honourably among his associ-
ates and was graduated with distinction.
And this in preciscr phrase means that he
was a -gentlemanly youth, and that he spent
