Do the ills of life seem too much to
bear?
Does no one care for your trouble?
Do the plans you laid with such hope
ful care,
Explode like an idle bubble?
Repine no more. Look away to the
hills,
The radiant sun is adorning!
'Twill break through yon clouds and
scatter your ills
It will be all right in the morning.
Do the friends you confide in no long
er respond
In sympathy to your distresses?
Is the being you trusted no longer
fond?
No longer true with caresses?
Do you feel so utterly desolate,
So lone in your crushing sorrow?
The kindness of God overshadows
your fate
It will be all right in the morning.
Does the wicked rule with a haughty
hand?
Does justice seem a back number?
Are the poor oppressed like a trust
ridden land?
Is right given over to slumber?
There's hope for despair, however it
weeps;
God speaks in the thunder, warning;
The justice of God neither falters
nor sleeps!
It will come all right in the morning
Does life seem a waste of trouble and
tears?
Seems happiness ever receding?
Does failure crowd failure and mul
tiply fears,
As the years rush on with their
speeding?
Look out from yourself. Look up to
the Cross;
The goodness of God adorning;
The goodness of God is consuming
your dross
It will ALL come right in the morn

Their Bewailment.
We hope not one of our people will
become discouraged because the li
quor organs bewail the failure of
prohibition to prohibit. Those liquor
brethren are in deep distress because
of the vast amount of whiskey that
is being received at the express offices
and through blind tigers. It is heart
rending to read their gloomy disser
tion on the decline of public morality
on account of the violations of the
law. Do not become alarmed beloved.
Public morals are about as safe and
ound as before the prohibition vic
tory. The law is here and it has come
to stay. It may not be enforced as it
ought to be, but it is not going to be
repealed. The people of North Caro
lina do not want liquor sold by law
and they said so in plain terms. They
meant what they said. The politicians
who have been recently converted
may not all be sincere but the peo
ple are, and they are very well satis
fied with what they have done. Pro
hibition is not keeping everybody so
ber, but it is doing tolerably well
and it will do better by and by.

The attitude of most of the great
generals of the Confederacy toward
slavery is set forth in a recent book, where he took part in the transfer

led the cause had little at stake save known Portis mines,

institution unfavorably. Gen. A. P. owners. The price paid in the deal
Hill owned none, and Gen. J. E. B. is $250,000.
Stuart inherited one and purchased
another, but disposed of both before
the war. Fitzhugh Lee owned none,
while Matthew F. Maury owned but
one, a woman, who remained in his
service some years after the war.
Maury paid the institution of slavery
was a "curse."
According to the author, even
"'Stonewall" Jackson owned but two
slaves, a man and a woman, both of
whom he purchased at their own so
licitation. He told them that they
could purchase their freedom by sav
ing their wages and reimbursing him
for their purchase price. The man
did this, but the woman preferred to
remain in the service of the family.
The story strongly supports those
who have always contended that the
South fought for principle rather
than the fortunes tied up in slaves.
It makes it clear that the generals
who led the cause were certainly in
spired by anything but selfishness.

neighborhood in which he must be
reckoned as a citizen. It does not
matter what the mental stature of
that mother is, how old, how bent,
how decrepit, the man to whom she
is mother owes to her gentleness,
kindness, tenderness and considera

children, by means of superior ad
vantage, pass her in her race? But
think of the toil and trial, her devo
tion and denial, her mind and her
years that she gave that the children
might derive the benefit. Think
of her sacrifice; no wonder if she
fell behind, with her heart in her
home, in the buds that were hers.

V.ET AND DRY MOONS.
Old Superstition and Cold Facts from
tbe Astronomers.
There is an old superstition which
die3 hard and that is that the position
of the horns of the new moon tells
what the weather will be. If the
horns of the crescent are on the same
level it will hold water, and hence it
is a dry moon, but if it is tipped up
then the water will run out, and it is
a wet moon.
One thing has helped keep this be
lief alive, The moon is "dry" in the
part of the spring that is usually
fair, while it is "wet" during the
season cf autumn rains.
If this were a sure sign of the
weather we could have our predic
tions published many years in ad
vance, for an astronomer can predict
the exact position of the moon at any
time in the future.
The cause for the different posi
tions of the crescent is simple. The
moon is south of the sun in the aut
umn and north of it in spring. The
crescent is found by the light of the
sun falling on the moon, and the
horns are naturally in a line perpen
dicular to the direction of the sun
from the moon. That is all there is
to this old superstition. Boston Her
