I bow before the noble mind That freely some great wrong forgives, Yet nobler is the one forgiven Who bears that burden well and lives. It may be hard to gain and still To keep a lowly, steadfast heart, Yet he who loses has to fill A harder and a truer part. Glorious it is to wear the crown Of a deserved and pure success. He who knows how to fail has won A crown whose lustre is not less. Great may he be who can command And rule with just and tender sway, Yet is diviner wisdom taught Better by him who can obey. Blessed are they who die for God And earn the martyr's crown of light, Yet he Avho lives for God may be A greater conqueror in his sight.

This is especially true in their lif after leaving home. A mother watches the succes sive steps and efforts of her children as only a mother can. If they succeed in their callings, she rejoices as no one else can. If children appreciate the concern that is felt for them, and the earnest desire for their success that fol- ows them everywhere by their mothers, they would care yastly more about pleasing them than is often the case. Pleasing mother should be a habit with children. Early in life they should begin the cultivation of thought and effort with reference to the gratifi cation of her wishes and of making her happy. If they would do this they would find daily opportunities for speaking kind words and rendering such helpful services and show ing .such noble traits of character in dealings with others, as would gladden the heart and lighten the cares of mother in a way too often little thought of. If boys, if girls, rcould realize their indebtedness to their mothers they certainly would generally be very much more anxious of pleasing them. The great men ot the world, like John Quincy Adams, James A. Gar field, and others, who have acknowl edged their great indebtedness to their noble lives, their courage in doing right, and their honorable achieve ments in public life were especially pleasing to their noble mothers. Hard ly a higher tribute can be paid to any young man's success in life than that "it pleased his mother." 4 A Household Treasure. WHAT SUNSHINE IS WORTH. A GREAT BLESSING. Sunny Souls. D. W. Fuller, of Canajobarie, N. Y., says that he always keeps Dr. King's New Discovery in the house and his family has always found the very best results follow its use ; that he would not be without it, if procurable. G. A. Dykeman, Druggist, Catskill, N. Y., says that Dr. King's New Discovery is undoubtedly the best Cough remedy ; that he hasused it in his family for eight years, and it has never failed to do all that is claimed for it. Why not try a remedy so long tried arid tested. Trial bottles free at E. T. Whitehead & Co's Drug Store. Regular size 50c. and 1.00. Sunlight and good temper are o nearly related that it is hardly a figure of speech to speak of a sunny dippoai rion or a sunny smile ; sunny seems the plainest, simplest and moet natura word for the fact. Good-tern pered, gay and genial people, too, generally love the actual sun, and wish to have abun dant light and color about them. Charles Dickens delighted in color to the verge of gaudiness. He could hardly restrain his exuberant taste to the modest hues demanded in a gentle man's attire, while in his home he rev elled in wide windows, bright tints, large mirrors and plenty of flowers, scarlet geraniums being his favor ites. Red, wherever it was possible to use it, was the color of his choice. Sydney Smith rejoiced in a burst of sunlight. "Glorify the room, Saba !" he would cry cheerily to his daughter when he came down-stairs in the morning and wished the curtains drawn aside. Lydia Maria Child's pleasure in the flowers, the pictures and the little or naments of her home was endless ; en riched as they were by abundant sun shine broken here and there into rain bows by prisms which she had so ar ranged as to send gleams of green, yio- let and orange gliding and dancing over the plain walls and ceiling in the beauty of which her eye never wearied. She used to laugh contentedly at her own daily satisfaction in such trifles, and fear that people would think her childish. But her prisms, as a friend once truly said, were like her own clear and beautiful soul, which gathered to itself the cheer and happiness of every day, and transmuted common blessings into something rare and precious the sunny presence which carries with it, wherever it goes, kindness, warmth and comfort. "Folks make so little of sunlight," said a poor woman, shaking her head, "folks that can have all they want of it ; they don't know what it's worth." She was a woman whose work was done in an upper room, very poor and bare, in a squalid neighborhood in the city ; but from her high window she had received every day tor several years the full glory of the morning sun ; then a great tenement building of many flats was built near by and shut it out. It was a sore blow, and at first she hardly knew how she should bear it, she missed the light and warmth so bitterly. "But," she added, triumphantly, "there's a way to better most things, if a body can find it ; and one day in the winter, when I was just thinking what a deal of sunshine was wasted on that great flat roof, where it did no good, it popped into my head that it might do good, alter all, if somebody set about lettting it. "So I made friends with some of the folks in the house, and we talked ; and then with more of 'em, and talked ; arid one day I met the owner there and talked ; and sure enough, by spring they'd taken up with my notion, the whole of 'em, and they went at it to gether, and a prettier garden than they have up there to-day you never saw ! Ah, 'tis a beauty flowers and sun all day long, and every breath of coolness whichever way it blows ! "Sure, a roof garden is better than a bit of sun for one poor old woman ; and then the friends I've made out of it! And hardly a day all summer that I've not a flower or bunch ot posies the children bring for my little jug there ; and once in a while, when I'm not too tired, I climb up and see the place for. myself; but not very often, for the shake in my knees after so many stairs. "But even when I do miss my own sun a little, and the jug is empty, it is worth while just to look out of my window and see the bits ot vines wav ing down over the eaves, with a glint of red in it. maybe, here and there, as it comes into bloom. A whole garden up there and half mine, for I started it !" That was a woman who had opened the windows of her soul to let in the day. A Struggle for Afpiranct. Young People' Leader. A St. Lou la paper relate an instance of th pride of a child who struggled to keep up appearance in a ay thai was touching to witness. The hopelessness of the endeavor was male painfully manifest by the well-mean action of her teacher, and the facts ire thece : Just before the cloee of $he lat sion of the public school lof that city, i an incident took place bicb, as an illustration, is more than touching. At one of the schools, numbers ot pupils were in the habit ol bringing a lun cheon with them, which at noon they ate together. Among those who did not go home to dinner, the teacher in a particular room noticed a little girl who always sat looking wistfully at her playmates when they went out with their luncheon, but who never brought &ny herself. The child was always neatly but very poorly clad, and one of the closest stu dents in school hours. This odd action of the child's lasted for some time, when one day the teacher noticed that the little thing had apparently brought her dinner with her. The noon hour came, and the children took their lunch as usual and went out to eat it, the little girl referred to alone remaining m the room, with her dinner wrapped up in a paper on her desk before her. The teacher advanced to the child and asked her why she didn't go out with the rest, at the same time putting out her hand toward the package on the desk. Quick as thought the little girl clasped her hands over it and exclaimed, sob- bine : "Don't touch it, teacher, and don't tell, please ! It's only blocks And that was the fact. Having no dinner to bring, and too proud to reyeal the poverty of her family the child had carefully wrapped up a number of small blocks in paper and b. :Tught the pack age to present the appearance of a lunch ! It was nothing, a mere ridic ulous incident in school life ; but it was sufficient to make wiser and older hearts than hers sad.

Person county leads with the shortest named postoffi.ee" Al," though Forsyth county is neck and neck with "O. K." "Grover is very properly located in Cleveland county, and "Jugtown" like wise in Catawba. "Democrat" is in Buncombe county, but no Republican shows up though Bladen has a "Pop- i." Craven county holds the old "Bache or," and Catawba the "Maiden," while another "Blooming Lady" looks on rom Columbus county, and sighs for 'Matrimony" away up in Rockingham. 'Eli" got there in Rowan county and Randolph says "Why Not." The beloved Senator Vance will ever be remembered by "Zeb" in Rowan county, and "Vance" in Iredell ; and 'Nat Moore" has "perpetuated" his name on the people ot Bladen. Union county has a "Niggerhead ;" Duplin has "Chinquepin ;" Rowan has "Organ Church ;" Wilson has "Bare- oot," and Robeson has "Shoeheel." 'Paradise," is located in Richmond county, and it is probably not very well known that "Purgatory" is so near as Duplin county. Almost the entire Greek alphabet is scattered over the State the "Alpha" and "Omega" both being in Rowan county. Tyrrell county used to have a postoffice named "Frying Pan," but they thought the name common-place and had it changed to "Gum Neck." "Durham county is all -'Hunkadora," while "Greenback" is in Warren and "Money" in Henderson. "Short Off" is in' Macon county; 'Shmville" in Iredell; "Finger" In Stanly, "Eve' very appropriately, in Wake county. But, why is "Lul" in Wake county, and why is Chocowinity" in Beaufort county ? Bladen has "Little Sugar Loaf ;"and the Three Graces are awfully scattered "Faith" being in Rowan county. "Hope" in Union county, and "Chari ty" in Yadkin county. "Pluck" bobs up in Chatham county, but the other of the "Three P's" appear non est. Rowan has a "Sav;" Columbus a "Sasspru;" Moore lis a "Pocket" a "Noise" and a "Quie4 while Duplin has a "Cabin."
