The Work of Today.
To shun the world's allurement,
To bear my cross therein;
t To tarn from all temptation,
To conquer every Bin;
To linger, calm and patient.
Where Duty bids me stay;
To go where God may lead me
This ia my work today.
I think not of tomorrow,
Its trial or its task.
But still, with childlike spirit,
For present mercies ask.
With each returning morning,
1 cast old things away;
Life's journey is before me
My prayer is for today.
TWO COPPER CENTS.
How They Found Each Other
and Nerved in a Queer
Capacity Alter Many
Years.
From Chatter.
We were minted the same day, in
1835. One of us bought a paper al
most as soon as we left the mint. The
other went into a rich young fellow's
pocket, "for luck," he said. The
young fellow was on his way to
Europe. The cent that bought the
paper bought a cent's worth of milk
for the the newsboy 's mother. Then
the grocer paid it out to an express
man, with some silver. It got in with
its betters and was uncomfortable
until it got into a barroom "till." Af
ter that it led a lowly life. For years
the owner of the barroom kept it on
the table when he played cards with
his customers. He said it was his
"lucky penny."
One night, late, a middle aged man
came in begging. Without thinking
its owner for fifteen years tossed it to
the beggar with an oath. That was
all he got there. The cent went into
his pocket. He was poor. From that
time he began to grow rich. The
cent got credit for his good luck.
Though untortunate itself, it had al
ways brought luck o others. It nev
er left its last owner. It saw him
grow from a poor to a rich man and
from a middle aged to an old miser.
The more he got the more he wanted
There was nothing short of murder
der would not do for money. He
robbed his bast friends and they
never knew it. He passed for a good
man. He was the greatest, the most
magnificent hypocrite that lived. This
is what he used to whisper to his
smooth, shining and lucky penny.
Well, the other penny stuck to the
young felloe on his way through
Europe. When he came back, after
happy years of wandering, he had a
velvet case made for the lucky cent.
The first day it It ft his pocket for the
case he was killed in a runaway His
things went to this one and that, and
the cent was shot at in a shooting
gallery for a number of years. No
bullet ever struck it. Everybody
knew that, and everybody wanted it.
So it was finally sold for $2, and lost
by the gambler who bought it, and
found by the miser, and it went into
the latter's pocket and found its twin
after fifty five years. Two nights
ago the miser choked to death on a
piece of hard bread. They came and
placed him in a coffin. They could
not close his horrible eyes until they
thought of two copper cents.
So, here we are, in our coffin, di
videdbya nose, holding down the
lids of a dead man's eyes.

ODD NAMES.
The Strange Appellations Given
Some Children.
New York Tribune.
"What 'name "do you give this
child?" said a Western preacher to a
couple who had brought their baby
some distance to be baptized.
"Luthy, thir," lisped the bashful
mother, and the pastor, who was a
little deaf, exclaimed in horror.
"Luciferl Nonsense, woman!" and
dipping his hand in the font, he con
tinued, with virtuous unction: "John
Wesley, I baptize thee 'And wheth
er she would or no, the poor little
girl received the name of that great
preacher.
A young couple, who appeared one
Sunday at the altar to baptize their
first child, were the victims of an
amusing, though less serious blunder,
but the young husband seemed pain
fully abashed.
"Name the child," said the clergy
man, and the poor young man looked
about in hopeless embarrassment as
if in search of the forgotten words.
At this critical moment his wife
nuded nim; then he awoke to the re
quirements of Ihe occassion and said,
in a loud clear voice: "I will."
'1 he ceremony of his last visit to
the altar was evidently so fresh in his
mind as to have quite overshadowed
the significance of the present occa
sion. Cleveland Cannot Come.
Hon Grover Cleveland cannot at
tend the 20th of May celebration in
Charlotte, as his business engage
ments are too pressing. He wrote to
that effect to Senator Vance, through
whom the invitation was extended
by the committee. In informing the
committee of this reply, Senator
Vance says: "I am trying to get
some one to go down and deliver the
oration for you, (I have talked with
several Senators) and hope to have
one of them accept in a day or so."
Senator Vance will be here and he
will bring a party of distinguished
men with him. Charlotte News.
