A DISREPUTABLE PEACTICE
which the people of the South
are resenting, is the efforts of
some to sell them imitations for
the real Simmons Liver Regu
lator, because they make more
money by the imitation ; and
they care little that they swindle
the people in selling them an
inferior article. It's the money
they are after, and the people can
look out for themselves. Now
this is just what the people are
doing, and merchants are having
a hard time trying to get people
to take the stuff they offer them
in place of Simmons Liver Reg
ulator which is the "King of
Liver Medicines," because it never
fails to give relief in all liver
troubles. Be sure that you get
Simmons Liver Regulator. You

IN CHURCH.
Inst in front of my pew sits a maiden,
A little brown wing on her hat,
With its touches of tropical azure,
And sheen of the sun upon that.
Through the broom -colored pane shines
a glory
Iy which the vast shadows are stirred,
But I pine for the spirit and splendor
I hat painted the wing of the bird.
The organ rolls down its great anthem ,
With the soul of a song it is blent :
But, for liTD, I am sick for the sighing
Of one little song that is spent.
The voice of the'eurate is gentle :
"Xo sparrow shall fall to the ground,"
But the poor, broken wing on the
bonnet
Is mocking the merciful sound.

Newspaper Headlines.
llvffalo Time.
The newspaper head-line, as we
now It, is peculiarly an American in
vention. Overseas the ''scarehead is
in unknown quantity. mere tne
most important article, it matters not
iow sensational it may be, is not
.riven anv larger or more conspicuous
leading than other iess important
news stories. Startling information is
given preference of position, but in no
other way.
The general idea is that the hcad-
ines writer sits down and dashes off
the first bright phrase or catch-line
that enters his head. Xot so. A nice,
mechanical calculation must enter into
it. He must be an artist and an arti
san. He knows to a nicety how many
letters will go in the style of type em
ployed for the first line. If there are
several word, the space m between
must be calculated in the number of
letters. He knows also that a letter
"M" or "W" will, by reason of its
greater width, shorten the number of
others that can be employed. There
is probably not a man living who has
ever written a heading for a newspaper
and not experinced the annoyance of
discovering that some peculiarly felici
tous line that had occurred to him as a
little too long to "go in." In this way
thousands of happy thoughts are en
tombed in the graveyard of good ideas
that exists in every newspaper office.
"Wording in Government Positions.
Edward W. Bok, in Ladies Home
Journal, gives the followig advice to
young men seeking public employment:
I would not advise any young man
to enter the employ of the government,
that is, if he has any amouion.
government position holds out attrac
tions to the average young man because
he feels it is safe, that is, so far as the
payment of his salary is concerned
Then, too, he is apt to believe that the
government salaries are somewhat
higher than the salaries attached to
civil pursuits. But, to my mind, he
buys these "sure" elements at a very
dear cost to himself. The average gov
ernment clerkship is a very poor affair.
Xot only is it poor in itself, but in
ninety cases out of a hundred it means
pure clerical routine.
It has about it a peculiar stifling
monotonv and restraint which are apt
to quench the fire of ambition. Pro
motion is impossible upon the same
lines as in a business house. The
chances for development are meagre.
While there are exceptions to the gen
eral rule, government service is not the
best thing for any young fellow. He
will be wiser if he enters into the more
fearless freedom of civil pursuits, and
leaves the average government position
alone. In the first, he can be what he
likes ; in the latter, it is doubtful.
SCOTLAND NECK, N. C, THURSDAY, JUNE 6. 1895.
THE EDUCATIONAL WANTS OF
THE NINETEENTH CEN
TURY. Mcral Edncatis:
V.Y D. V.. SIMPSON.
ha hi b' rton Hobexon in a.
Although education is u.-uallv divi
ded into moral, intellectual, social, .-esthetic,
technical and physical, it must
not be supposed that there is a rating
the one from the other. There is no
such line. They are dovetailed, the
one into the other like colors in the
spectrum, and that teacher will be a
poor moral instructor, indeed, who only
finds opportunity for moral instruction
during the Scripture lesson. He will
be unworthy the name of a teacher of
sociology, who only finds time for its
great lessons at some particular hour of
the day. JS'o, there is no sharp line ol
demarkation between them. Still
equal b foolish will be the teacher who
will try to teach everything in one les
son. Every lesson has a particular ob
ject in view and this must always be
kept in mind. We have no patience
with those teachers who do strive to
burden an exercise with far fetched
morals when such do not in the least
apply to the exercise in hand. Having
said so much we shall now proceed to
consider Moral Education. Xo school
fulfills its purpose which falls to attend
to the morals of the pupils. No teach-
ls qualfied for the responsible office he
holds who neglects his duty in this res
pect. W e are an enthusiast with re-
ard to good scholarship, but we are
far more of an enthusiast with regard
to sending out from our educational in
stitutions good men and good women,
good boys, and good girls. Good schol-
arship is a grand and a desirable thing,
but actual goodness still grander and
more sublime. It is divine. Hence
the reason we place Moral Education
at the top. It is first, because it is of
most importance. Whether a man is
to be a blessing or a curse to himself
md humanity depends not so much
upon his physical capacity, more upon
his intellectual, and most of all upon,
the bias of his mo-al nature. Let us
remember this. To neglectit is suicid-
l
d.
At the outset we may say that it is
not to be inferred that teachers are to
give religious instruction of a sectarian
nature in the schools. We mean
no such thing and are bitterly opposed
to such proceeding. But what we do
mean to insist upon is that the true
educator is bound to use every means
in his power, and to utilize every op
portunity he can, "to quicken the con-
cience and influence the will" of the
pupils under his care.
It goes without saying that virtue
is not aiwavs mw cwiwimiisui
knowledge, and that the lessons which
children receive may become pernicious
to them if addressed only to their un
derstandings. Let not the teacher,
therefore, fear that he invades the
rights of parents by giving his first
care to the moral culture of his pupils.
It is his bounden duty. In the same
degree as he ought to guard against ad
mitting into his school the spirit of
sect and party, or of instilling into the
minds ot children religious dogmas or
political principles which their parents
disapprove m the same degree, he
ought to elevate himself above the pass
ing storms which agitate society, in or
der that he mav be able to apply him
self without ceasing, to extend and es
tablish those imperishable principles of
reason and morality, without which
the general order of civilized society is
in peril, and to implant deeply in the
young minds those seeds of virtue and
honor which it will be out of the power
ot the passions oi a more mature age to
eradicate. He must never, by his con
versation or example, run the risk of
weakening among children the venera
tion due to virtue. Faith in "Provi
dence, the sanctity of duty, submission
to paiental authority, respect for the
laws, for the rights of all men, together
with the thousand and one virtues that
spring from these, are the sentiments
which he must unceasingly inculcate
by example and by precept. If he fail
to do this he has come far hort of his
J duty. He may have been an instruct
EXCELSIOR" IS OUR MOTTO.
or but he has been no educator. We
feel constrained to quote Lord Broug
ham in this connection. He says : "I
trust everything under Gal to habit,
uion which, in all ages, the legi.-lator.
as well as the schooI-m.L-ter, has mainly
placed hi? reliance ; habit which makes
everything easy, and casts all difficul
ties upon deviation from a wonted
course. Make sol riety a habit, and
intemperance will le hateful, make
prudence a habit, and reckless prolliga
cy will be as contrary to the child,
grown or adult, as the mo.-t atrocious
crimes are to any of your lordships.
Give a child the habit of sacredly re
garding the truth, of carefully respect
ing the property of others, of scrupu
lously abstaining from acts of improvi
dence which involve him in distress,
and he will just as likely think of rush
ing into an element in which he can
not breathe, as of lying, or cheating, or
stealing."
And how is this habit to be secured?
By quickening the conscience ; influ
encing the will. In many cases pa
rents do not value the schooling the
children get, simply because it is not
valuable. The poor are not bad judges
of the value of what they purchase
poverty makes them so ; although it is
not in the nature of things that igno
rance should rightly appreciate knowl
edge, it is not difficult so to adapt the
knowledge we give poor children to
their wants, as to make its value felt
by the dullest parent. It is because
we do not so adapt it, that the parents
do not feel the benefits of Education.
It is the fault of the teacher, not theirs.
Their children come home coated with
crude learning, which they cannot un
derstand, and perhaps do not much un
dervalue in thinking it worthless. But
this they do understand that their
children are none the better fitted for
work, and all the less inclined to it ;
that their learning has not improved
their love for them, or school discipline
their odedince ; that Scripture lessons
have not made them religious nor mor
al. They can see and understand these
things. They do understand them,
hence, in many cases, as we said, the
parents do not value the schooling
their children get, because it is not
valuable. We have been on the wrong
track. We must get back to the be
ginning. We must quicken the con
science and influence the will.
Two of a Kind Almost.
Selected.
He passed down the aisle of the car
to the seat occupied only by a man
wearing a weed on his hat, and there
halted and sat down, and every passen
ger thought it a funny thing that two
men each a widower should thus be
brought together. At least one of the
widowers also thought it funny, for af
ter a bit he turned and queried :
"Your wife dead?"
"Yes."
"So's mine. Yours die of fever?"
"Yes."
"So did mine. Loving, faithful and
economical ?"
"Yes."
"So was mine.
Broke you up, didn't
it?"
"Yes."
"So it did me.

Have a big funer-

"Yes."
"So did I. Counted thirty-one bug
gies and wagons. Got a grave-stone

"Xo."
"Xeither have I. Death is an awful
sad thing, ain't it?"
"Y'es."
"But we must make the best of it.
We cannot help the dead by mourning.
Got your eye on a second wife?"
"Xo, sir !" Avas the indignant reply.
"How long's your wife bin dead?"
"A year."
The other picked up his valise from
the floor, vacated his seat, and as he
started lor the car ahead he said :
"Stranger, I thought we was two of
a kind, but I diskiyer that I am wrong
in my riggers. One of us tells the
truth and the other is a lie, if ldie
for it ! Good day !"
7T:sn And Sisinecc

A New York banker aid rc-crntly.
"Among our dpjio-iior we hae a few
young giri. the daughter of wealthy
men, wtjo plee their allow-mce- with

us an order for that sum, payable hv

"The father of another girl placed a
sum of money to her credit with
and gave her a check-book. In a
short time she had overdrawn her de
posit. She assured her father that it
was impossible. He placed her next
quarterly allowance with w, warning
her not to allow herself to overdraw
again.
"At the end of a month she sent a
check, which we did not cash because
her deposits had already leen drawn
out. We notified her, and she went
to her father, sobbing with indigna
tion. " 'They say I have no money in the
bank, and look at all these checks
which I have not used !' she cried,
showing him the book half-full f
blank checks.
"These are facts, though they seem
almost incredible. And yet these are
cultured, bright girls, who are at home
on matters oi literature and art, and
who probably chatter fluently in two
or three languages."
A real estate lawyer declared that he
made it a rule not to transact business
for women, as their ignorance of finan
cial laws and methods made them un
reasonable clients.
One of the prominent brokers in
Xew Y'ork also made the statement
that ho "found less difficulty in man
aging a transaction involving tens of
thousands of dollars for ordinary men
of business, than in one where hun
dreds are concerned for a woman. The
average woman is not satisfied with an
investment which will not bring in an
exorbitant profit. She is inclined to
insist upon large gains regardless of
safety, and if loss follows, in nine eases
out ol ten suspects that her broker has
pocketed the money. "
There are of course many women as
well able to manage their incomes as
men, but they usually are those who
have earned them. Young girls who
in all probability will some day inherit
property, are too often left ignorant of
the ordinary principles and form." of
business.
If money is to be your slave, girls,
and not your master, learn how to con
trol it.
Joy in our Abilities.
Y. P. Leader.
On one occasion did Jenny Lind ex
press her joy in her talent and self con
sciousness, it was during her last res
idence in Copenhagen. Almost every
evening she appeared either in the
opera or at concerts ; every hour was in
requisition. She heard of a society, the
object of which was to assist unfortu
nate children, and to take them out of
the hands of their parents, by whom
they were misused and compelled either
to leg or steal. "Let me," said she,
"give a night's performance for the
benefit of these poor children ; but we
will have double prices." Such per
formance was given, and returned Iwrge
proceeds. When she was informed ot
this, and by this means a number of
poor children would be benefited for
several years, her countenance learned
and tears filled her eyes. "Is it not
beautiful," said she, "that I can sing
so?"
Through her I firs, became sensible
of the holiness there is in art ; through
her I learned that one must forget one's
self in the service of the Supreme.
