Those who live right die well. Mr. Spurgeon recently gave an anecdote of Jams ??mith. Mr. Smith visited one of the members who was dying and said to her : "You are railing." "Yes," said she. "Do you feel vurelf sinking?" "What did you say, Mr. Smith?" He asked whether she was sink ing. "No, my dear minister," said she, "never ask such a question of a child of God. Did you ever know one to sink through the rock ? If I were standing upon the sand I might sink; but 1 am upon the Rock of Ages." "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints." One Way. Here is an example we would commend as a iciigious and success ful way to get missionary money. In the first place our .people need missionary information, and this is a good way to get it. The question must be pressed home upon their consciences. The church will nev er move as she ought until this burning question does rest upon her heart. Let every preacher read the example to which we refer : The Rev. G. M. Colville, of the Tabernacle Church, Bimghampton, New York, preached on missions for five successive Sabbaths. At the close he invited the people to present their gil ts. They were ready and in six minutes the offerings were received. The rich and the poor vied with each other in the spirit of liberality. Some of them illustrated the apostle's words: "The abundance of then- joy and their deep poverty, abounded unto the riches of their liberality. For to their power and beyond their power, they were willing of them selves." Last year the subscription was 850. This year 100.

It is strictly an educa tional institutional, having tor its object the moral, intellectual and physical training of the young deaf and dumb and the blind, of both sexes, residing iii the State. During the summer of 1843 Mr. W. D. Cooke conceived the idea of establishing such an institution in N. C. I fe took a young deaf mute who had been partially educated, and traveled through portions of the State, giving exhibitions of the man ner oi teacrimg cleat mutes, inis excited a great deal of interest, and when the next Legislature met, he gave an exhibition before th - mem bers. Gov. Morehead urged the Legislature to establish such an In stitution in a special message. Gov. Graham, who succeeded Gov. More head, during the session of the Leg islature, was also a warm friend of the measure. Near the close of the session, on Jan. 12th, 1845, a bill passed establishing the school and appropriating 85,000 to it, requiring each county to pay 875.00 for each pupil it might send. This Act placed it under the supervision of the "President and Directors of the Literary Board," at that time com posed of His Excellency, William V. Graham, ex-ofncio. President of the Board, and Western R. Gales, David Stone, Charles Manly and R. L. Myers, Esqrs.; and the school was organized by the appointment of William D. Cooke, M. A., as Principal. May 1st, 1845, the school opened for deaf mutes only in a rented build ing, with seven pupils, and reached seventeen by the close of the first session. The number of pupils the second session wras twenty-six. The Legislature of 1847 made an appro priation of 815,000 to erect the pres ent building, the corner-stone of which was laid with imposing cere monies April 14th, 1S48, addresses being delivered on the occasion by Rev. Samuel S. Bryant, who was then stationed in Newbern, and Mr. Peet. In January 1849 the building was occupied, and during the session of the Legislature for 1818-9, the Insti tution was placed under the care of a special Board of Directors, com posed of John II. Bryan, Linn B. Sanders, Perrin Busbee, Thomas J. Lemay, William W. Holden, James F. Jordan, Esqs., and Dr. Charles E. Johnson. The Board was organ ized on the 29th day of January 1849, by the election of Hon. John II. Bryan, as President, and Thomas J. Lemay; Psq., as Treasurer; by the Act of Assembly, the Principal of the Institution was made ex-officio, the Secretary of the Board. DESCRIPTION OF BTJILDIXG. The main building, in the dimen sions of its plan, is sixty feet by thirty-six. It has two wings, each thirty-eight feet by thirty-two, ex tending at right angles from the main edifice, and projecting from each extremity of it by nearly the whole width of each wing. In ele vation it embraces four stories, in cluding the basement, and the wings three, and is surmounted by a square tower or observatory, commanding an extensive and beautiful prospect. In the basement are the dining-room and store-rooms, and in the other stories the family apartments of the principal and his assistants, etc. In the basement of one wing are the kitchen and wash-rooms, and that of the other is set apart for instruc tion in mechanical trades. On the principal floor of the wings are the sitting-rooms of the males and fe males, and the upper story is occu pied for dormitories. The chief merit of the arrangement consists in its preserving these two depart ments, as far as relates to the accom modations, amusements and pur suits of the pupils out of school, so independent in every particular as to constitute of them two separate and distinct communities, while the dining-room in which both assemble is conveniently accessible. Each de partment has its separate flight of stairs, its separate areas in the rear, its separate pleasure grounds, and its separate communication with the school-room; so that, for the ordina ry purposes of life, there is no occa sion to pass from one to the other. ors reside, there is another in which are the chapel and class-rooms. This building is of two stories, for ty-five feet in length and twenty-five feet in width. The Institution consists of two de partnients the white and colored The two classes are in separate buildings, situated at the distance of a mile apart; still each enjoys equal privileges and advantages with the other, being, as they are, under the same Principal a- d Board of Trustees. The arrangement of the Institu tion is such as to secure the separa tion of the male and female pupils, except in the work of the school room, where they are under the su pervision of their teachers. Each pupil in the Institution is re quired to work two hours per day. The trades taught the males are : For the blind, mattress-making, broom-making and chair-seating. The deaf mute males are taught shoe-making, and, as soon as the finances of the Institution will per mit, it is contemplated to introduce other useful trades. The girls in both departments are required to sew, knit and to do the mending necessary for themselves and the male pupils. The blind girls are also instructed in bead work. The school year commences on the second Wednesday in September in each year, and continues for ten school months, leaving the vacation during the warm season. Appli cants who are under eight or over twenty-one years of age are not ad mitted. No person of imbecile or unsound mind, of confirmed immor al character, or incapacitated by physical infirmity for useful instruc tion, is knowingly received into the Institution; and in case any pupil, after a fair trial, proves incompe tent for useful instruction, or wil fully and persistently disobedient to the regulations of the Institution, such pupil is thereupon discharged. The course cf study pursued at the Institution embraces all the English branches, consisting of spelling, reading, writing, arithme tic, geography, grammar, and the sciences, and ordinarily requires eight years to complete it. The blind are taught, in addition, vocal and instrumental music. Pupils from this State are admitted to all the privileges of the Institution, upon compliance with the rules,Vee of char ge,being provided with board, washing, fuel, tuition, books, medi cal attendance, and everything nec essary, except clothing, shoes, and traveling expenses. Where the pa rents are unable to furnish clothing and shoes, or where the child is without living parents, the county in which such child or children live must do so. In which case 820.00 will be the amount so required, pay able invariably in advance. From this rule there is no variation. THE MANAGEMENT. Both institutions, the white and colored, are managed by a Board of Directors consisting of Messrs. R. S. Tucker, R. T. Gray, James A. Briggs, J. M. Betts, C. D. Heard:, J. R. Williams and L. D. Stephenson. Maj. R. S. Tucker has been on the Board since 1859, and has been Pres ident of it for th& past twelve or fif teen years. Governor Fowle had to appoint successors to Maj. R. S. Tucker and R. T.Gray as their terms of office expired January 1st, 1889. He has appointed Maj. Tucker to succeed himself and Mr. B. F. Parks to succeed Mr. Gray. Mr. Gray has made a most excellent di rector and deserves the thanks of all the State for his valuable servi ces. Mr. Parks will make a good director. He is an excellent gentle man. The Institution has been admirably managed, and is in good hands. WHITE PUPILS. The number of white pupils the past two years is as follows : Deaf mute (males), 84 Deaf mute (females), 80 Blind males, 65 Blind females, 58 Total, 287 Number of new pupils admitted, 80 Number of pupils discharged, 61 COLORED PUPILS. Deaf mutes (males), 24 Deaf mutes (females), 27 Blind (males), 19 Blind (females), 17 Total, 87 THE COLORED I E PA KTM EXT. What is known as the Colored De partment of the N. C. Institution for the Deaf and Dumb nnd the Blind was formally opened in January 1800. a he question of educating the colored dea and dumb and the blind of the state had been under consideration lor about two years. Nothing, however, was ac complished till September 1SGS, when a suitable building was rented from the citv authorities and other necessary ar rangement's were made during the tall for the reception of pupils at the be ginning of the following year, the de partment being placed under the im mediate supervision of a vice-principal. The office of Vice-Principal was found to be unnecessary, and was abolished after 1876. This new feature of the work met with such favor among those whom it was intended to benefit, that in 1873 the Board of Directors found it necessary to provide more ample accommoda tions. An application was accordingly made to the Legislature for an increas ed appropriation, which was promptly granted by that body, as well as a build ing lot upon which was soon erected a commodious two story brick building. This has lately been considerably en larged and provided with water works and a heating apparatus. The build ing as it now stands has cost some thir ty thousand dollars, and is, in some re spects, such as in the arrangement of school-rooms and dormitories, ventila tion, Sec, superior to that occupied by the whites. When the Deaf and Dumb Institu tion in South Carolina was organized the colored department of North Caro lina furnished two of the teachers, two were also furnished for Texas and one to Georgia. Vtf488tetfV Wm. J. Young:, A. M. Mr. W. J. Young is the excellent and very efficient Superintendent of the two Institutions, located in Ral eigh, for the education of the deaf and dumb and the blind. The above is a cut of his face. He was born in Franklin Co., N. C, Aug. 10th, 1832, and is therefore nearly fifty-seven years ot age. lie was educated at Wake Forest College, N. C, to which place his father moved in 1846. The degree of A. M. was conferred on him by Trinity College, N. C. He taught for sometime in the Male Academy at Louisburg, N. C, with the Rev. Dr. T. M.Jones, now Pres ident of Greensboro Female College. Afterwards he moved to Raleish and taught a school, and was the first teacher to whom the present Editor of the Advocate ever recited a lesson. Afterwards he clerked in the store of his brother, Mr. S. H. Young, who wras an honored mer chant in the city of Raleigh. He re mained in his brother's store until Dec. 1st, 1860, when he was elected a teacher in the N. C. Institution for the Deaf and Dumb and the Blind. He filled this position as a teacher until he was elected Princi pal of the Institution Jan. 3rd, 1883, which position he has since held. Nov. 12th, 1860, Mr. Young was married to Miss Sarah E. Cooke, a most estimable lady of the State of Vermont. Father, mother and three daughters now form their happy family group. Mr. Young is a prominent mem ber of Edenton St. Methodist Church and for years was the leader of his church choir. He is now an official member, chairman of the Official Board, Superintendent of the Sabbath-school, and a Trustee of that large and influential church. As a church member and official he wields a large influence and is greatly be loved. In the work to which he has de voted the greater part of his life he has achieved great success. During the month of last July he was elect ed First Vic'e President of the "American Association of Instruct ors of the Blind." This was a com pliment to him of which he was em inently worthy. He fills his pres ent position, we learn, with very great satisfaction, and seems to en joy in the largest measure the love and esteem of the teachers, pupils, patrons and directors of the Insti tution. He fills up the full measure of a model gentleman. Is quiet and , l l-i it! nhnrnb. vo iiir, r,ruu wj his family, his state, his country and his God. EDITORIAL NOTES.

Bishop McTyeire's family consists of the following: His widow, Mrs. Au- relia McTyeire; Miss Mary McTyeire, the only unmarried daughter; John T. McTyeire, of Mobile, Ala.; Walter M. McTyeire and Holland N. McTyeire, both of Nashville; Mrs. Amelia, the wife of Dr. J. J. Tigert, and Mrs.Janie, the wife of Prof. W. M. Baskerville. The North Carolina State Sunday school Convention is to be held in the Y. M. C. A. Hall, of Charlotte, N. C, on April 2d, 3d and 4th, 1SS9. Those who expect to attend the Convention should send their names at once to C. W. Tillett, chairman committee on en tertaining delegates, Charlotte, N. C. Delegates on arrival will report at Y. M. C. A. Building. They have a very fine programme of exercises, and we hope a large crowd will attend. The Thirteenth Annual Convention of the Young Men's Christian Associ ations of North Carolina, is to be held at Wilmington, N. C, March 21st to 24th, 18S9. Railroad rates can be as certained by applying to the agent at your station who has been instructed. The programme of exercises as an nounced is very fine. A iarge crowd and a profitable time is expected. Let all who can attend, do so. The Secretary, Hon. I). W. Bain, is exceedingly anxious that all who owe for the Conference Minutes shall remit to him $1.50 per dozen for those receiv ed. He has sent them to all who or dered them. He prepaid express and postage and put them at $1.50 per doz en, when they actually cost him, post age and express included, about $1.75 per dozen. Neither the editor or pub lisher get one cent for their services in getting them out; so that the Minutes actually cost about 25 cents more per doz en than the Secretary gets for them. And the money for them is needed to pay the printers at once. Send the money to Hon. D. W. Bain, Raleigh.N. C, at oxce. Brethren, attend to this and thus help greatly your hard work ing and efficient Secretary. At the meeting of the College of Bishops in Nashville on Monday, after consultation with the family, the Me morial Service which had been an nounced for last Sunday, was post poned until the first Sunday in May, at which time the College of Bishops and the different church boards will be in session. They also advised the execu tive committee of the Board of Trust of Vanderbilt to call a meeting of the Board at that time to provide for the vacancy of President ot the Board. In the meantime Judge East, 1st Vice President, will exercise the functions. It wTas thought by many that Bishop McTyeire had the authority to name his successor. This was not the case, but not only is his successor to be cho sen by the Board, but the duties, pre rogatives and salary are entirely de pendent upon their action. The names of Bishop Ilendrix, Bishop Hargrove, Dr. Young and others have been men tioned. The office is one which re quires the greatest variety of faculties, and the Bishops have acted wisely in taking time to consider before filling it.
