To eTery teeming city, to town and Til lage sent, To eTery shop and mine and farm the thrilling message went; "We'Te got oar old commander back, he'll lead m once again! Be up and ready for the fray, and quit you there like men;" And quit yon there like men, and quit you there like men; Be up and ready for the fray, and quit you there like men. He stands for all that's dearest for which our fathers fought; The people's right to rule the land, for votes that can't be bought; He 6tands for lower taxes, for gold and silver, too, For equal rights and laws for all, for everything that's true; For everything that's true; for everything that's true. For equal rights and laws for all, for everything that's true. He's for the civil service, and not for sham pretence; He's for the common people, and he's full of common sense; He's brave and leyel-heaJed, and it's his unchanging plan, Whatever he may think is right, to say it like a man; lo say it like a maa, to say it like a man, Whatever he may think is right, to say it like a man. Our party knows no sections North, South or East or West; The bloody shirt and bayonet we heartily detest; We're dead against the Force bill, but we're for the church and school, And evorywhere and all the time we advocate home rule: We advocate home rule, we advocate hone rule. And everywhere and all the time we ad vocate home rale. We do not wish to regulate our neighbors hours or drinks, Nor do we want to iniefere with what our neighbors think; The Constitution and the laws deeide our every doubt, And we're always good and ready to tarn the rascals oat; To turn the rascals out, to turn the rascals out. And we're always good and ready to turn the rascals out. Then raise lor Grover Gleveland a mighty deafening cheer! We'll land him in the White House safe before another year. No Pinkerton detectives then to run our shops and mills; No billion dollar Congresses with him to veto bills; With him to veto bills, with him to veto bills. No billion-dollar Congresses with him to veto bills. Then, up and at them, Democrats! Charge home their wavering ranks! They break, they fly, the day is ours. they're routed front and flank; Monopoly is on the run, protection don't protect, But think of seventy-six and swear election shall elect. Election shall elect, elaction shall elect; But think of seventy-six and swear elec tion shall elect. And when nur sturdy captain comes to his own again He'll need a very different chair from that of litte Ben; We'll hunt up the very one in which Old Hickory sat, And he'll fill it like a statesman, for he is a Democrat; For he is a Democrat, for he is a Democrat, And he'll fill it like a statesman, for he is a Democrat. The Art of Visiting. (Selected.) First impressions count for much. A welcome Bhonld be cordial, de ferential, as if in accordance of a favor. Response should be equally glad, yet timid, not as if the gaest at once owned the new abode and its piano. A visit that begin on both sides with graceful cordiality, pro gressing towards eager sympathy, continues in hearty appreciation and ends in enduring friendship. "eservlng Prie.

You may read of great demonstra tion!, and of the assemhlisg togeth er of the unterriQed Democracy, but it takes being present on such an occasion as the Democrats of Hall fax county had at Scotland Neck last Saturday, to realize the foil meaning of these. Glorious old Halifax has been spoken of in days gone by as the "black county'', sig nifying that it was not only domina ted largely by the black element, bot that nothing good could be expected to come from it. However, after see log ber demonstration on Saturday we wanted to throw up our hat and exclaim "give Halifax the banoer and pot her in the front rank.'' The Reflector has many admirers (of which we are proud) ia and around Scotland Neck, and a desire to be with them and see old Halifax spread herself took us there iaat Sat urday. Almost the first thing wit nessed after getting there was what looked like a vast army coming in the distance. Down each sidewalk were thousands of people on foot, while in the roadway was a cavalcada half a mile long. There were a few over 300 mounted horsemen and nearly every rider carried a flag. In the procession were the cirla of the female scboul all wearing Cleve land and Stevenson caps and then came the cadets from Prof. Allen's Military school. We were astonish Iahed to find po many colore! men in line with Halifax Demoenicy; qaite a number of tbetc rode with the horsemen while the number cm foot was up in the hundreds. Chief Marshal T. W. Fenner was in charge of the procession and managed It with marked success. The great crowd Sled into the grove In front of Dr. Wood's resi dence where the speaking was to take place. Here seats for 3,000 people were arranged, but still hun dreds were left standing. Folly 5, 000 took part in the demonstration. The ladies were out in large numbers lending tbeir smiles and encourage ment to the occasion. The splendid brass band from Wilson was thera and made the air merry with excel lent music. When the vast throng came togeth er they were rapped to order toy edi tor Hilliard of The Democrat. He said it was the greatest demonstra tion Scotland Neck had ever known the greatest Democratic rally Hal ifax had ever seen. He announced that Mr. W. A. Dunn would intro duce the first speaker. When Mr. Dunn said the Democratic party is not dead, tne solid South Is not bro ken, he was greeted with a tremen dous outbreak of applause. In well chosen words he introduced Hon. W, R. Henry, who spoke for three hours ; and dealt out sound democracy with sledge hammer effect. Though be urged the crowd not to consume any ' time with applause, their enthusiasm coold Lot be held in check and loud cheers betokened their appreciation of his words. After him Mr. R. H. Smith, Jr., in a handsome manner introduced Fred Woodard, Eq., Democratic candi date for Congress in the Second Dis trict. He spoke for an hour and a half, and handled the issues under discussion with clearness, force nd effect. He was greeted with ap plause all through bis speech. After these two great speeches the enthusiastic people were still ready to listec longer and called loudly for Back Kitcbin. Capt. Kltchia talked for an hour and his was pronounced by many the grand speech of the dav. He is every inch a man, Democratic to the core, and made such a fervent appeal for Grover Cleveland that the crowd rose up in a grand shout for our next President It was a grand day, a glorious day, and if Halifax does not roll up a big majority for Democracy next Tues day the Reflector is no interpreter of siens. Three cheers for Halifax, al ways I j- . ... FITS. All Fits stopped free b? Dr. Kline's Great Nerye Reetorer. ifo Fits after first day's use.

C. 10 1 ly, WISE WORDS. Love cannot be marte in order The iireatat man mnv he the meanest. Hope is the yeast in the bread of life. An interrupted influence is as good as lost. Don't try to please everybody ex cept yourself. When the akies are bloe nobody Is shoald be. Love lessens woman's delicacy and increases man's. Courtship la to matrimony what pis it to corn bread. Fearlessness springs from igno rance as often as fear. Only the highest and noblest love la without T'-al trickery. A dropped stitch is not always ie covered in the next round. No man was ever saved for whai he bad done inside of a church. When unexpected pleasares disf point us we sre none the less serene. More men fail by trying to do too much than by doing too little. Sacred to the loving heart ia the form that has said to It, 'I am thine." The love which is long overlooked seldom, If ever, becomes a reciproca ting love. The man who refuses to pay hi just debts is too cowardly to steal in any other way. The fair one btlievcs the flatterer, whoui she sets down as a consum mate flatterer of all othtr9. The conjunction of the upper plan eta is more eailv brought about than that of the upper class of lovers. Before any mother, it is of itself an impossibility to introduce an edi fying conversation with the daughter. lu consid'sraiio i of la ranladit de perfection with which some sou!s are born fate sometimes in a sottened mood grauts ooe rme perfect thii.g. There is a fine point in the ethics of good breeding where attenoiog to one's own business may pass the line of virtue and league itself with criminality. The Original Stars and Stripes. (Washington Star.) With the Massachssetts posts. duriDg the G. A. R. encampment in Washington, came a inoat interes ting relic, being the original stars and str:pes, which was brought on by its-owner, Mrs. Stafford of Mar tha's Vineyard. The flag is the first and original United States flag, but instead of thirteen stare, might be expected from the number of origoal States, it only contain? twelve s'Brs, which is explained by the fact th i'. at the time the flag was made Georgia was not yet entitled to a vote The flag ws made by the ladies of Philadelphia from tte design of the escutcheon of the Washington family, and it is said Washington himself cut out the five pointed stars The flag was presented to John PaulJones, who sailed with it up and down the Schujklll to show the appearance of their country. After ward it was adopted by Coogresp, and Jones carried it with him on bis ship Bon Homme Richard In his gieat fight against overwhelming odds the flag was shot away from its tff and fell in the sea and Lieaten ant Stafford leaped overboard and brough it safely to the ship and and nailed it to the masthead. Af terward the relic was presented to Lieutenant Stafford by act of Con gress and his descendants etiil re tain it. Keep Bnsy.

STRKH1T INTO THE Ur-llOi St) onIT HAD GONE ON A DliOk III IIEA5UN UTTEKLY UNBALANCED, Philedelphi Times. "Oh, there's plenty of eicitement io the life," aid tb engineer of engine No. 10. "What with the cbAtice of a wreck every mile or mo, a general MUiasb-np at the aiding, the giving way ol bridges and the forgetfuluess ol the dispatcher, all of which is likely to lt&tipen, I may jay there ia no complaint of monot ony iu running an engine. But the worst uh I ever struck in the baMnes was a trip I took oue time with a madman. Yea, air, as wild a lunatic as you'd find chaiued and straight jacketed in any asylum in the country. Want the story! ell, beie's to ir, and a straight one it is. It was iu 1880 that I wan Kervlng as firemau under a man named Grady. He was a fiue engineer, could do more with an eugiuc than any one l ever saw, and knew his road like a look. I'd been with him alM)at a year, and we got pretty thick, and he was always showing me his little gal s picture and talk ing about ber. His wife was dead and his siMer had the child. "He whs j ust the lovingest father I ever did see Never got delink like other men but this one time I am going to tell yiu atont. We were to go out tnat night, when I met him on the Mreet just befoie dark and I saw he had been drink ing, but w:i8 in a mighty gd humor. Til be there in tunc,' be said o me, 'I'm just going up to the h'Mise to kiss my baby eood-hy. "Well, we parted and I came on down Lo tlu; depot- It was m-ghtj near time to stait and I had frtim all up, wbeu here came Grady. The moment I saw him I knew there was something mighty wrong with bur. 4t"ad ol spying 'Hello,' or something 1'ke that, he jut climbed iuto rhr caboose without looking at we, b.it kind of staring straight ahead of him, with his eyes hot and dry and his hps as white as my shut off duty. I thought to myself, 'Well, if this is a druuk it's the queered one i ever saw, and, not wishing to rile him, I kept quiet. We pulled out steady enoagb, Grady still saying nothing, but staring stjaight ahead as if be saw something in front of him. I'rtty soon we begun to get fatter and faster, till the old engine just rocl ed, and I could feel the cars behind lairly jump over th? rails. I did not like to saj anything, for he was bissoftbe engine, but when we went whizzing pasta station where we were to ttop without paying anj more attention to it than It it had not been there I began to think there was something mighty wrong, and I stepped forward, and, pre tending to look at the dial-plate, said : Mlam't we rather going It, boss?' Hut he didn't answer, and I went oo : 'Ain't f-ick, are you, Grady, old man? If ou are, lie down a bit and I'll run here a while.' "Hut etill be paid no attention, but would look out at the headlight and kind of mutter to himself. So I went back to shovelling In the coal, but keeping an eye on him, for by this time I was sure that there was something very much wrong with him. and 1 begun to think that what he bad raken bad crazed his brain, and vet his looks weren't those of a drunken mau, and his hand seemed steady as usual. But presently, whiz! we weut pat-t the lighted I-tmps or a small statxn wloie we due to wait tlfteMl minutes ! r the op train. 'Gtod Lord!' 1 thought; 'we'll meet that train on tte main track, and tbeu look out!' "With this in rnind I called out, llleU?f Grady, forgot about the up bound, ain't 30U?' But he ju-t stood as before, mumbling to hin; 8ell lu that etiauge fashion, and i ju-t caught him by the arm, storm- log at him, 'Where are are you goiug to, man!' and then he looked back over his teeth like a dog. To heli!' he shouted, 'and all of joo with me. I'e killed my baby, aud I've got to got to hell, but you'l have to go wltn me. When he said that I waited no longer, but grabbed him aroand the waist.
