That ia what our readers want, and nothing but that. It is the same old friend to which the old folks pinned their faith and were never dis appointed. But another good recom mendation for it is, that it is better than Pills, never gripes, never weak ens, but works in such an easy and natural way, just like nature itself, that relief comes quick and sure, and one feels new all over.

Dd'ut Hart Stone in St. Nicholas. 'The Sweet Bye-and-Bye.' Selected. Is there any one who has not sung the ''Sweet Rye-nnd-IJyo?" It has been translated in many languages and is destined to- live fureve:-. This beauti ful song was first published in ISO.x ;ind was written for the ''Signet Ring," a Sanbat.h school music book publi.-hcd by Lyon and Healy. Chicago. Tiic author of this hymn is S. Fili-mo.-o Bonnet, a native of Kichmond. 111., and engaged in the practice of medicine. The hymn was Avriticu m the village oT Elkliorn, Wiscon.:n, under the following circumstances : Elkhorn was the home ot tliC composer. J. I'. Webster, who was exceedingly nervous and subject to seasons of de- region. On one occasion he came into the establishment ot Rennet and walking to the stove turned his back without speaking. Rennet was at his desk writing- Presently he turned and said. "Webster, what is the matter now?" "It is no matter, it will be all right by-and-bye," he replied. Rennet says the idea of the hymn came, to him like a Hash of sunlight and he replied : "The sweet bye-and-bye ! Why would not that make a good subject for a hymn?" "Maybe it would," replied Webster indifferently. Rennet turned to his desk and rapidly penned the words ot tne hymn : There's a land that is fairer than day, And bv faith we shall see it afar ; For the Father wait- over the way, To prepare us a dwelling place there. cuoia s : Tii the sweet bve-and-bye, We shall meet on that beautiful' shore. In the sweet bve-and-bye, We shall meet on that beautiful , shore. We shall sing on that beautiful shore The melodious songs ofjhe hlest ; And our spirits shall sorrow no more, Not a sign the blessings of rest. To our bountiful father above We will offer our tribute of praise, I-or the elorious gift of his love, And the blessings that hallow our days. In the meantime two friends came in, X'. H. Cars-well and S. E. Bright. The hymn was given Webster. As he h if Ids soul was set on fire, and tenning to the desk he wrote the notes. Taking Mr. Bngm s yionn ne jum the melody. In thirty minutes t.e hvmn was written, the music composed nnd the friends singing it in the same form In which it afterward appeared. After singing it one of the gentlemen rpniarked that "that hymn was immor tal." In two weeks it was am'. I.v children on the streets.

SCOTLAND NECK, HOME Ul'LE. E7L7 c::e sirs n:?s. lllhlieal Record', r. We hae heard much about "Home Rule in Ireland ;" but, we must confess wf are more concerned about home rule in America. The hu-band the head of the family ; and being procl iimed by both nature and revelation as leader, his authority should le recognized throughout the honie. Inasmuch as this is Ood's plan, it is, of course, the best plan It is not asserted that the husband is the wi!e's master ; only as the stronger, he is to protect the weak er, and in the common journey of life to guide his e.pial partner. He is not to rule his home with arbitrary laws and nonsensical whims, but to consult the interests of his wife, submitting in his goven ance to the teachings of the Bible. Xo superiority to the wife is implied except that which arises from the position in which God lias placed film the head of the household. He may be inferior in point of wealth, so cial position, culture, intellect; still, his headship is seemed by divine right, and must be maintained, though as sailed by fire and sword and broom sticks. Every institution must have some recognized head. Take the State as an illustration. It must havo a gov ernor. There may be many men in the commonwealth possessing more statesmanship, more learning, more ex ecutive ability, yet these men must not undertake to perform the duties of gov ernor, nor resist his authority ; for such a course would result in anarchy ; and a poor governor is better than no gov ernor. Thus, the superiority is often due only to the position the husband holds under God. The wife must ren der cheerful and loving obedience to the house band, for he is the band hold ing the house together. If this tie be broken, every other tie of the family is endangered. If tho husband is incompetent, over bearing, unreasonable, dictatorial, the wife's greatest embarrassment will be, not in obeying, but m haying such a husband. Still, even in so sad a case, the wife will find that, for the peace oi tho home, as well as for the social stand ing of the family, it is wisest to be gov erned by the Bible and respect the au ehority of her official half. Sometimes the husband assumes the attitude of boss. He tries to ride by mere force ; but such a course produces friction, and in various ways under mines the harmony oi the home. The wives of such men obey because they fear, not because they love. They real ize tho fact that m the eyes of their husbands they have no rights, are in ferior members of the home, and mere appendages of their domineering lords. There is, however, another side to this question. Instead of iossing he is bossed: the home rule is then re versed, and the husband enters that un conscious state for he seems never to be conscious of it which we may term hen-peckery. The wife's stronger na ture prevails, and she fills her husband's place as well as her own. This unfor tunate condition of things Is against the success of the home ; yet, it the man will not lead, the woman must. Instinct leaches that the man should direct the affairs of his home. The home cannot be ruled by thun der and lightning and storm. The law of the home is love. When the wife is the man of the house, the husband is the woman of the house. He cannot maintain his rightful leadership by o-rumbline.peevishness, fault-finding, or by any of the little meannesses of w hich female men are capable. The wife's broader sympathies will prevail; her nobler character will assert itself ; her larger nature will overshadow the pi g mv she, as a queen, lids by her apron strings. If the husband is a cipher, the intelligent wife will be likely to re gard him as naught ; and if he is a zero she knows he can nc er be a hero. So it is not diifieult to discern tiie general principles that determine home rule. Foreigners in America. Durham Sun. The western states, considered as a whole, have twenty-two per cent, of foreigners among their population. Of the potential voting strength of this country, 12.no0.0X) are of native and j.(MM).(MM) of foreign birth. Pennsylvania and Illinois have from litteen to twenty-five foreigners to each square mile of area. Over ninety-six per cent, of the im migrants who come to this country settle in the north, west and north west. The percentage of foreign to native population in lS'HJ was nine per cent. ; in 181 JO it had increased to fourteen -per cent. N.

FiLer could net resist tl'f ternt .-;i'n to tell a t--rv on a brother mini-tor : "It was Presiding Elder Still of the Methodist church. The go,! ,,, jnan is dead now, and it can't 1 anv harm to tell this storv of him. - I he earlv tr.neiing of the elder in Kansas was not o.-t-v. He had a mua-'c on which he Used to ride, and thi - mule was nor ahvas ol-Lent. Or.e day the older ;md b!- -: ,: e: 'entered ! a swohen .:.-eam. Along the iu;.e of the stream the eider and his mule st raved in hoi,e of finding a sale cm I inur. Finaily the oi ler found a tree that overhung the stream, anl from which he Ielievefi fie could ssingto the other side. But the mule couldn't swing. He could swim, however, which the elder couldn't. "All the extra clothing and the Bi ble were made into a bundle and tied on the mule's hack and the animal led to the water. He swam safely across and began eating grass on the other side. "The elder looked at the swinging limb, and dropping to his knees, prayed fervently that he might make no mis take in getting across. Then he swung out and landed safely. "He knelt and thanked the Lord. "But there was a new obstacle. The mule was having a good time in the grass and refused to be caught again. Several well directed efforts ilew wide of the mark, and the good elder was in desperation. He must keep his ap pointment and he couldn't walk it. There was but one thing for the elder to do, and the elder did it. Down in the damp grass he dropjed on his knees and prayed the Lord to help him catch the mule. "This is the only instance I ever heard of in which a mm called on the Lord to help him catch a mule, and to his dying day the elder firmly believed the Lord did it, though it took them both some time." An Interesting Pensioner. Charlotte Xncs. The State Auditor has received an application for a pension from a most interesting character, viz., Elijah Wal ker a well known citizen of Moore's Creek township, Pender county, X'. C. Mr. Walker is now 101 years old (his age is duly recorded), and he enlisted as a volunteer in the Confederate ser vice when sixty-seven years old, al though past the age of exemption from military service. He fought all through the war and was severely wounded several times, having been shot in both hands, which latter wounds partly dis abled him. Notwithstanding this fact, however, he has refused to accept the pension ho was entitled to from the State, on the ground that he did not" think it right so long as he was able to support himself." Xow, however, he says that he is no longer able to "make a living," and he has applied for the pension for the future, hut for no "back arrearages." His application was promptly granted. How to Bring Down a Son and How to Bring Up a Son. Young Men's Kra. Let him have plenty of spending money. Permit him to choose ins own com panions without restraint or direction. Give him a latchkey and allow him to return home late m the evening. Make no enquiry as to where and with whom he spends his leisure mo ments. Give him to understand that man ners make a good substitute for moral ity. Teach him to expect pay for every act ot helpfulness to others. 3Iake home the brightest and most attractive place on earth. yiaKe him responsible for the per formance of a limited number of daily duties. Talk franklv with him on matters in which he is interested. Sometimes invite his friends to your home table. Take pains to know his associates. Encourage his confidence by giving reach sympathy and advice. Be care ful to impress upon his mind that making character is more important than making money. Silence is golden, especially wnen you can not think of a good answer on the spur of the moment. London Judy.

"I believe," said Robert "that a good new.-paper is as Col Iyer, tiered in its own way as the Rible. It has some thing in it of the very present word of God to man, and the very present word of man to God." This was the great tribute of a great man to honesty in journalism. It ought to be the high aim of every newspaper man to deserve it. What is an honest newspaper? It is one that, within it- proper sphere as a public instrument, tell- the truth without fear or favor. It is one that has ever as its guide the best and truest interests of the community, that 's faithful to its con stituents, that u-.es every legitimate means to guard and foster the welfare of the people and aid in their social and political elevation, that upholds the just law of the land, that does not become the ready weapon of trusts and corporate aggrandizement. J It is not one Lhat invades the sancti-j ty of the home for the gratification of the scandal monger or the satisfact ion of petty spite. It is not one that is ever ready to sell its powerful -jolumns to tho-e who defy the law, who oppress the jeople, who corrupt legislators and who build great fortunes on the fallen right of citizens. Xew papers are not published merely for the health or amusement of their owners. They are published for financial gain. The editor i-,or ought to be. the servant of the public, and he i entitled to a just reward tor his service-. And he gets it hy honest effort. But the editor whose greed lor wealth causes him to open his columns to every powerful and oppreive schemer is dishonest and ought to be branded as such. The merchant w ho cheat- his j customer has his Xerne-i-. The editor j who betrays his people ought to have a I place in the s; me category. Why Phrsicians uss an "P.
