THE EDITOR'S LEISURE HOURS
Points and Paragraphs of Things
Present, Past and Future.
The money spent by travelers to
Europe every yeaT is enormous. It has
been found by even an imperfect esti
mate that over two hundred and thirty
million of dollars are spent annually in
this European travel. It has been
promised that there will be an accurate
investigation of the subject ; and when
it shall have been made it will be a
matter of astonishment how much the
people o! this country spend in foreign
travel.
From some observations made per
sonally and irom what others say, we
believe that the farmers oi Eastern
Carolina are planting and raising more
cornfield peas than they have ever done
before. This is a wise movement. A
farmer can plant no crop that wili
make him better returns for his labor
than a crop of field peas, either sown
broadcast or planted in drills. And
then every crop oi peas is a fine course
of fertilizing for his land. On any land
m this region a farmer may make two
crops a year ; one of wheat or oats and
the other of peas, and by this process
he not only gets good returns lor his
toil but enriches his land every year.
From the most careful observation
we have been able to make, the country
is more hopeful than for sometime.
Business men everywhere seem to fetl
encouraged with prospects and there
seems to be an easier feeling with all
classes.
Manufacturing of all kinds is' pros
pering, mining in the United States
has done much more this year than
last and the forecast Is made alreadv
tbat there will be much gain next
year over this year, even, farmers
haye not felt very much encouraged
at prices of tobacco, but there is a hope
with them that they will gefc belter
prices for cotton than they haye been
getting for the past two years. And
with the southern farmer there is more
home independence ; whish, after all,
is the best solution of his life-problem.
Judging from newspaper reports aad
other sources of ' information, one
would conclude that most oi the female
colleges are fitted up quite handsomely
Indeed one gets the impression that
some of them are something grand in
appointments. And we know from
personal observation tbat some of
these institutions are most handsomely
eauinned in every way that could in
duce comfort.
But we question the wisdom of such
outlay and expenditure further than
for the necessary -comfort of school
girls. In many cases the appointments
in such schools are more than necessary
and reach the point of real elegance.
TVow. it ia a Question whether it is
wise to surround a girl from a home of
modest and moderate comforts with so
much elegance and ease. Spending three
or four years in an eleeantly tarnished
room, with high living and a thousand
and one superfluous comforts and con-
ninM that she has never had in
her own home, it is quite a demand on
human nature to expect her to be satis
fied with the old-time plainness of her
mrAoat. home surroundings when she
goes back to them alter graauauon
rt -
Things seem quite tame and in the old
etyle too much ; and it all .furnishes a
good opportunity to make her dissatis
fied and more unhappy with her home

the rich, it may be all right ; nut we
hardly think that such elegance in an

A GLIMPSE AT ROBERT BURNS.
Scotland's Greatest Bard.
Selected.
William Howitt asked a" Scotch
farmer at the birthplace of Burns, "Can
you explain to me what itis that makes
Burns such a favorite with you here in
Scotland?" "I can tell," said he,
"what it is. It is because he had the
heart of a man in him. He was all
heart and all man ; and there is noth
ing, at least in a poor man's experience,
either bitter or sweet, which can hap
pen to him but a line of Burns springs
into his mouth and gives him courage
and comfort if he needs it. It is like a
second Bible." "The appeal of Burng
to the heart of humanity is wonderful,"
says John Service. "It .is doubtiul
whether any poet, ancient or modern
has evoked as much personal attach
ment as Burns has drawn to himself."
It is said that his funeral was attended
by ten thousand persons, and when in
1844 a festival was held in his honor
at Ayr, his birthplace, the local editor
estimated the whole number of persons
present as eighty thousand. The ex
planation of this popularity is to be
found in that touch of nature whieh
makes the whole'world kin.
Burns never traveled beyond the
imits of his native land, except in a
brief tour as far as Newcastle in Eng-
and. He resided for a short time In
Edinburg. Aside from this the range
of his life was limited to five different
homes, from Ayr to Dumfries, where
he died. But he was a striking illus
tration of Emerson's remark to the
Sect that it is needless to travel, since
f you stay at home all the world will
come to your own door-step. He was
an insatiate reader. He had studied
the works of Shakespeare, Pope, Shen-
stone, Thomson, Allan Eamsav, Fer-
gusson (from whom he caught the
spirit of the Scottish muse), and cf
other writers. He had perused with
intense interest such songs and ballads
as came within his reach. The dawn-
ng spirit of the French Revolution
had shone into his mind. "Uncon
scious sincerity was hh grand charac
teristic," says Welsh. Sympathy with
man and a high sense of the nobleness
ol true manhood gave his genius the
scope of universality. Scotland has
given the world three great names,
Carlyle, Scott and Burns, and widely as
they differ they all were alike in their
appeal to the deep things in human
nature.
Says Service : "His claim to be con
sidered the first of song writers Is hard
ly disputed. It is a claim which rests
upon scores of lyrics, each of which
might be cited as an instance of lyrical
passion at its best and highest." One
thinks at once of Heine, the German
song writer, Beranger, the Frenchman,
and of Horace, the Great Latin lyric
poet, all touching kindred chords,some
of them with the most cultivated and
artistic skill. Yet of all Bong writers
of all time Burns is first in delicacy
and depth of feeling, in simplicity and
tenderness. It was incident to bis pas
sionate and sensitive nature, tbat he
should be extremely susceptible to
feminine charms. One of his com
panions wrote : "He composed a song
about every tolerable looking lass in his
parish, and finally one in which they
were all included." His verses on
Highland Mary" and "To Mary In
Heaven," are as pure and elevated in
sentiment and style as anything that
the pen of man ever wrote. But equal
ly native to him was the sense oi tns
manliness ol man, and the ring of mar
tial inspiration. In the splendid draw
ing-rooms oi Edinburg he is "unaflect
ed, unastonished ; he never forgets the
majesty of manhood." More Btimng
tones were never struck than in his
"Scots, wha hae wi Wallace bled," or
A man's a man for 'a that," and be
tween the extremes of feminine tender
ness and of martial fire he spoke the
sense of human brotherhood in the
matchless lines of "Auld Lang Syne
Of the irregularities which so sadly
marred his life it Is hardly necessary to
speak. They seem not to have been of
his essential nature, but rather to have
expressed the infirmity of an impetu
ons. passionate spirit. "Awiully went

Robert Burns astray,", says . William
Howitt, "and bitterly did he bow down
and weep in the ashes of repentance."
It seems almost incredible that he has
been dead more than a hundred years.
His verse sounds as of yesterday or to
day ; yet he died in 1796, aged thirty
seven. Edinburg, which at first lion
ized him, and afterwards treated him
coldly, has erected to his memory a
splendid monument. -There are mon
uments also at Ayr and at Dumfries,
and at other places. But more lasting
than any monument Is the record he
has written in the heart of humanity.
The Practical Value of Dreamers.
Fraak Crane, in Saturday E 'ening Poat.
Few realize the immense effect of
the imagination upon the material re
alities of life. Not only those who fol
low fads, those who are subject to su
perstitions, those who suffer fancied
aliments, and those who are healed by
faith, but all the rest of the world, even
the most matter-of-fact men and wo
men, owe their progress or their degra
dation, and the main portion of their
joys and sorrows, to their imaginative
faculty. The ideal moulds us all.
The best of lifo is its illusions. If
we could only see what is to be seen, if
our love and desire had no food but
facts, if the rainbows of the ideal did
not always hoyer oyer the dull actuali
ty, no soldier would enlist, no man
would labor a life time to lay up a
competence, no mother could endure
to rear her children, no lover would be
enamored of his mistress' fa".e ; indeed,
the race would sink in the despair of
drudgery, and the lamp of human joy
would be extinguished.
The ideal is the best part of our
work. No sermon is so good as the one
that escaped the preacher in his study.
No painting is so fine as the one whose
evanescent colors the artist could never
catch upon his canvas, though they
swung as ghosts of clouds in the sky of
his mind. Every great musical com
position is but a compromise between
the ravishing sounds that flood the
composer's soul and the stubborn in
struments that fret under th9 harness
of metal and wood and string. The
sweetest, the grandest thing in our life
s the illusion which hangs constantly
before us, which we never can seize
and which, as we die, we still look to
ward and sigh for, trusting that In an
other world we can reach it.
In taking an inventory of our age
we should reckon our dreams, and the
dreamers of them, as our best posses
sion : for they are the sureties of the
future. What the age to come will be
is determined by what this age dreams.
The institutions of to-day are the fruit
of the aspirations of yesterday. The
ebullient writers of the days of the
French Revolution did not put forth
their brilliant theories in vain, nor
were those theories quenched by the
Violence of their time nor smothered
by the age of reaction that followed ;
but now a. hundred years afterward the
civilized world has quietly moved up,
attempting to occupy, by institutional
and governmental reality, what was
once deemed the cloudland of "liberty,
equality and fraternity." Had the
young Galilean not gone about doing
good ; had He not spoken those para
bles and apothegms that idealize lrater
nity, altruism and sanctity of human
life, there would be no vast church
benevolences, no missions, no democ
racy, no Christian civilization.
Every optimist belongs to the assets
of the race ; every pessimist is a aeaa
loss. All honor to those 'who in sweat
and pain of labor build the walls of
our civilization ; but let us not forget
those who sing songs to them as tbey
toil ; for where there is no song, labor
is cursed. "Where there is no vision
the people perish." Orpheus built the
walls of Thebes with the music of his
lute, it is said ; and it is true certainly
fhnt no crreat work of society has ever
risen in glory and majesty except Hhe
poet and the prophet brought down
fire from Heaven to warm the hearts
of the workers.

WHO IS FATHER!
IS NOT OFTEN LOOSED FOR.
He Is Of 2To Account.
St. Lonis Globe-Democrat.
"What was the name of George
Washington's father?" The person ad
dressed was nonplussed. Ho knew all
about Mary Washington and Law
rence, the brother of George, and
Martha Washington, the "mother of
her country." He knewT too, that
George had a father, must have had a
father, but if the old gentleman had
ever been anything or done anything
to deserve remembrance at the hands
of the people who have made almost a
demigod of his son, the questioner
could not remember it. Desirous,
however, of ascertaining whether he
was alone in his ignorance, or whether
it was shared. by other Americans who
revered the memory of Washington,
he set out cn a tour of the establish
ment with the laudable purpose of
finding out how much was known con
cerning the paternal adyissr of our
first President.
Not an atom of information could be
obtained. Some were candid enough
to confess that they did not know, tbat
they never had known. One added
tbat he did not care, a third supple
mented his ignorance with the state
ment that he did not think it mattered
much, for if the old gentleman had
ever amounted to anything somebody
would have found it out and written a
book or an article about him. So it
went through the entire ofHce, eleven
gentlemen of education and intelli
gence confessed their inability to state
the first name of the man who gave
George the good advice on the occasion
of the hatchet and the cherry tree.
The incident is significant of a con
dition of things whieh prevails in the
mind of the world a feeling not so
much cf prejudice as of indifference
toward the father. It is reflected in
the literature of the day. The popu
!arheyels abound with allusion? to
the mothar the devotion of the moth
er, the unselfishness of the mother, the
purity ol the mother's love, its persist
ence when the son or daughter has be
come utterly unworthy, is even de
spicable in the eyes of all but the moth
er. These are well known themes, the
leit motifs of the novelistic symphony ;
they are public property ; any one may
use tEera without fear of being called
to account for literary petit larceny.
The poets, even more than the novel
ists, are devoted to the cause oi the
mother. "Who Will Care for Mother
Now V "Just Before the Battle, Moth
er," and a hundred other songs attest
the popularity of the theme ; a good
song about mother never fails to pleaee.
But where are the songs about father?
'The Old Man's Drunk Again," and
"The Guv'ner's Workin' Now," are al
most alone in the category of paternal
songs, and even these do not convey
sentiments indicative of the highest
degree of respectful admiration. In
iact, the father is at a discount in liter-
aturerand art.
Beware cf Misjudging.
Perhaps It were better for most of us
to complain less of being misunder
stood and to take more care that we
do not misunderstand other people
It oushi to give us time to remember
that each one has a stock of cut and
drv indfiroients on his neighbors, and
that the chances are that most of them
are quite erroneous. What our neigh
bor really is we may neyer know, but
we may be pretty certain that he is
not what we have imagined, and thi
many things we have thought of him
are quite beside the mark. What he doe
we have seen, but have no idea what
may have been his thoughts and inten
tions. The mere surface of his char
acter may be exposed, but of complex
itv within we have not the faintest
idea. People crammed with self con
sciousness and Eelf conceit are often
nraised as humble, while shy and re-
served people are judged to be proud
Some whose whole life is one subtle
selfishness get tfce mne of seii sacri
fice, and other silent, heroic souls are
condemned for want of humanity.

THE BLUE BACK SPELLER.
John R. Morri in Charlotte Observer.
Why quiet there upon the shelf,
Old Blue Back, since I chat, myself,
Of time when sleeping, 'neath my
head, .
You slept upon my little bed?.
For, oft when outdone by hard page,
I'd put you 'neath my head, old sage,
Then fall asleep and dream I ran
ioo late to school, with you in hand.
So, when awake and when asleep,
Old Blue Back o'er "my thoughts would
creep,
Profound with knowledge that I sough t
Profoundness t hat old Blue Back taught
No fact of life had more import
Than when o'er town I spread report
That from old Blu3 Back, and Us ma
ker,
'd learned at last to spell old "baker."
No scholar, vain with his degree,
Conferred by sage-like faculty,
er felt such plaudits did await
To sound the praise of his estate.
Fur back o'er time my eyes I fix
Oil lesson number twenty-six,
There, bless the Lord ! old 'baker'
stands,
First, o'er first column, it commands.
And when the Judgment stars shali
quiyer
b light the world o'er Jordan's riyer,
If backward school bovs' memories
bend,
Osd Baker will lead that column then.
n taught me what I ne'er forgot
That y-a-c-h-t spells yacht ;
lill then I thought same sound could
be
Best reproduced with y-o-t.
f chemist I'm called on to write
The silent h I 'ye ceased to slight ;
Despite analogies perverted,
w ith bow to Blue Back, it s inserted.
And there, on page twenty-four,
We found aristocratic lore :
n middle column I yet see
That big old word "bronchotomy."
Ah, boys, we ne'er knew what it meant
Yet with that word we were content,
or when we great and wise would'be
We'd simply say, bronchctomy.
But now my waggery's too alive
Waggery on page one twenty-five,
And its two g's gave mo much trouble
since Blue Back said the c must
double.
And fables, too, one less than eight,
Old Blue Back did to us relate,
Each pointing moral to live on -v
When old school boys' are dead and
gone.
No other tale than fable four,
Wherein old bull an ox did gore,
Could so illustrate legal flaw
n seifl3h ministry of law. j
Why, boys, yon know that fair milk
maid,
With cow, ail meek, in background's
shade,
Whdm vanity did so confound
She spilt the milk upon the ground.
Ah, those whose apples come by steal
ing
Yef. red, with sore, affrighted leeling,
Of boy, who barely saved his bones,
When tho old man went to throwing
stoues.
Hark ! boys ; tis bark of old dog Tray,
From old Blue Back, long put away.
Indeed, 'tis music to my soul
As if twere struck from cords of gold.
There, pictured on old Blue Baca'n
page
Stern villagers, in hasty rage,
Dog Tray with violence assault
For what we re told was Tiger a fault.
This tale, indeed, would bs unfair
Did Blue Back point no moral there
To show the consequences wrought
When bad companionship is sought.
When boy, I wept that Tray, misled,
Till irom tho villagers he fled,
Should, in old Tiger's cotnp'ny found,
Be so disgraced o er little town.
Yet, when disgraced from little town,
Old Tray, at last, a kennel found.
He found that kennel ia my heart,
Aud from my dog I'll never part.
Hence, Blue Back, when the end I
see
Confronted by eternity
Since in my love old Tray will stay,
He'll follow me to God some day.
I've washed
old Blue
Back's every
leaf
With tears that sprang
from child
hood's grief,
While o'er each page I've flung some
light
When smothered giggles laughed but-
right.
Yet, since I put Blue Back on shelf,
I, m the struggle for worid a pelf,
Just as before, each day and morrow,
Have laughingjoy and weeding sor
row, j
Yet, boys, since then, the Silent Reap
er
Has made my sorrow sorer, deeper,
And, somehow, laughter seems to lack
The ring that raDg o'er old Blue Back
Since early poverty designed
That I'd ne'er classic knowledge find,
'Twas well, old Blue Back, that I knew
Some times kept tween your lids of
blue.
God knew 'twas best, l'am sure He did,
To hide from me the vellum lid,
And bid me, Blue Back, go to you
And peep between your lids of blue.
Pronounce this word as ii the last
syllable were me. It means a surgical
operation, specifically an incision of
the windpipe, also called trachotomy,
or laryngotomy. Author.
