1 "he following pathetic poem rf th
late Richard Lvles, Esq., of Danville,
Ya. was recited in the Episcopal coarch !
recet .tly by Rev. Mf Viney in his ser
mon on temperance. It is published by
reque. t.
have been to the funeral of all my
1 lopes,
An d cutombed them one by one;
Not a word was said,
Not a tear was shed,
Who n the mournfal task was done.
Slowly nd Badly I turned me 'round
Adc 1 sought my silent room,
And there alone
By the cold hearthstone
1 w ooed the midnight gloom.
And as the right winds deepening shade
Lovi'ered above by braw,
I wept o'er days
When manhood's rayB
"Were brighter far than now.
The dying embers Qo' the hearth
Gave on their flickering light,
As if to say
Ths is the way
Thy life sh'jl close in night,
I wept alour in anguiBh sore
O'er tne blight of prospects fair,
"While demons laughed
And eager quaffed
UMy tears like nectar rare.
Thro ugh hell's red hall an echoe rang.
An echo loud and long,
As in the howl
I plunged my soul
In the night of madness strong.
And there within that sparkling glass
I knew the cause to lie,
This all men own,
From zone to zone;
Yet millions drink and die.

When Cleveland Was a Boy.
Selected.
No man in Chicago is more pleas
ed over the resrilt of the election
than H. J. Edwards, of the carriage
manufacturing firm of II. J. Ed ward f
& Son. Forty years ago Mr. Ed
wards and Grover Cleveland worked
together and shared the same bed
in the general store of McVica &
Co. , Favettevile, N. Y.
' This was one of the biggest
stores in town," said Mr, Edwards.
"On one side was a good stock of
dry goods, on the other was a
rather primitive drag store and in
the rear was a grocery. Cleveland
or 'Grover' as we called bim roomed
with me directly over the store.
One of oar great treats was for the
clerks from all the stores in the town
to gt together some night in the
week to tell stories and talk over
plans.
11 In this connection there is an
incident that well illustrates Cleve
land's sterling honesty. It had
been the custom for ns to help our
selves to the eggs without thinking
of paying for them, When the
clerks came to oar store Cleveland
said the eggs mnst be paid for. He
was willing to have a good tlnoe
with tho boye, bnt he didn't want
tbe 'Boss' to lose it. Some of the
boys protested bat Cleveland was
firm and said if they would not pay
for the oggs he would. As a con
sequence a reform was instituted,
and after that the eggs were always
paid for.

N. C. Baptift.
Boye, I want to talk to you thi?
wfr-;k shoot amusements. The world
possaases so many varieties and
kinds of amusement that some an
perplexed to know jat what is best.
For tbe human mind to enjoy diver
sion is no new thing, it is not tbe
product of this age; still modern al
vancement has added mach to the
pta&qure of man. Belehazzar had
an entertainment for the amusement
of himself and his lords, and Danier
tells as in the 5tb section of his book
anout tbe terrible resalt. The Greeiis
bad their Olympic gamea in which
men vied with each other in the race,
aDd in throwing heavy weights. The
Romans had amphitheatre in which
they fought men and wild beasts.
The Knights of the Middle Aes
spent years In horsemanship. Man'
nature demands relaxation from la
bor. and the building up of tbe tired
feelings is much assisted by a glad
dened heart. Men have always real
ized this, and haye turned to the for
est to seek lecreation in tbe hurt, on
to tbe stream to Gnd pleasure In coo
verse with the finny tribe. In music
and song, oratory and the drnjb
men and women have been able
"To steal awbile away from every
cumbering care."
The list grows larger day by day
aod thp ball room, carde, demoraliz
ing theatres, prize Gghts, cock fights,
norse racing, all have entered the
-list to keep humanity on a low
plane.
We must judge these various
amusements by their fruits. In tht
nail room men of vileet character en
gage In the dance with young ladies
and go hand In hand, arm in arm
with women whose lives are corrop
ted by the influence. "Hugging bv
C339lc" srems to be sanctioned
high Rociety, and is patronized bv
thousands. Young men and your.g
ladies engage in the questionable
amusement, and wonder why their
deas of life and duty ire not as high
as those of others. The ba'I, bettine,
tbe bottle are a trio of close relation
ship. From the social card table a
a patn is hewn ont direct to tbe
gambling saloon, where men have of
fered tbe sacrifice of soul, body,
mind, influence, money and all. The
various kinds of fights engaged in
and encouraged by men are a per
version of the uses of muscle. Man's
oower is given him for the glory of
God and the animal is to be tbe ter-
vant of man as a beast of burden, fb
a watch by night and as food for the
body, but not to increase the baser
faculties of his nature.
The young man finds much pleas,
ure in the hunt. How much have
vou considered the purpose of yonr
hunting. Is it to get food? If so it is
legitimate, but if it is to slay God'e
creatures tn gratify the passing for
blood, if it is with the prime motive
of enjoyment in tbe killing them, you
violate the perscribed laws for man,
and overstep the bounds of human
supremacy over tte lower animals.
Amusements, will he eougbt and
gound, and it behooves you to
first enquire: "is it right?" What is
the tendency? Do I violate any Uw,
or place an unworthy example in to
doing?
When you seek a relaxation of
mind or body, be sure you do nothing
in which you could not view the
angle of death and go to meet yoor
God with a sole satisfied with l!s
deeds, and a conscience void of
offence toward man, and hacds white
with your own destininy. "Laugh
and grow fat,'' is an old maxim.
Yes, be joyful, rejoice and be glad,
but not at the expense of soul or the
pleasure of others. Let your life be
one of gladness, no long faces, ne
sour dispositions. Be aroused in
season and sober in season. Find
the thicks whereby you may be ben
efited, enlighteoa and eirtertained
and engage therein. Be snre you
are right and then go ahead."
Advice to a Boy.
Youth's Companion.
In one of the large railroad office
in this country, is a comparatively
young man, who is at the head of a
large department. When he entered
the service of the company, five years
ago, he was green and awkward. He
waa given the poorest paid work in
the establishment. The very first
day of his employment by the compa
ny, a man who haJ been at work n

thought over the "advice,' and Urr

Cided to do the besland the uioet N

A Hmnrt Miih- skl-r.
A writer in the Nautioal Magazine
tells a story of how a V.u.l.oo lvj,..,.r
eontrived to froo his stiip from i.it.t.
While he lay in xrt ho I is.-, voi . I that
one of the Uritish ships thoti in tho hnr
ljr had aruor.g hi-r cargo a gn at
quantity of eln-ose. Mo t hereuj mi
found an excuse for hauling over v li r
and mooring his own jiiwkot iil..t.gsi.!o.
The next step xvas to pr.x-ure a plalili.
smear it xvell with an oilorif.-roio. prep
aration of red herrings, iti I phu-o it s.
as to lead through one of the j.rts on
board the Lnglishman. The imni. oi
ate result xvas a xvhulesale en.igrat i. n
of the rats from the Ameri.-an ship'a
hold to the cheebe-laden vessel along
bide. This fax't seems more surprising when
xve rellect ujxiti the exe-svie rarity of
the at mospher e nt sueh an elevation,
for of eourse the beam of light would
not he visible if it did not iilu'iiinate
the air through whk h it pasf.es. jii' t as
a ray of sunlight, entering through a
knot hole, makes a luminous Ix-am in the
duBty air of a barn.
It is evident at a glanoo that these
experiments have a most important
iK-uriiig upon the art and pra-tieo . f
signaling at a distan. e. Signal heami
of light thrown high and far in the air
may yet prove of immense ise for min
tary and other purjjov.s on land, and in
the guidance of vessels surrounded by
perils at sea.

"The most remarkable adventure I
knoxv of was that of a t.-n-y ar ohl boy

Republic reporter. "A party of us had
gone from I'm bio fT a w.-. k s hunt
