Where in childhood's days I used to roafn And often now to the same wild retreat I come, Tired of all things else, to indulge my mood. - I walk through this lone, sequestered wood. Where I may find sweet solittide. Here trees bend low to meet the brier, To reach the tree the brier climbs higher. And here are many green things J love to admire And close by where the streamlets flow. And rare wild flowers love to grow, Where the shrubs reach high and branches bend low, I hear the voice of many a bird W-hose notes by man are seldom heard, "Making melody rare while the leaves are stirred Dy the leaves which a whisper of mystery brings i To this great green forest of shadowy things Of birds, bees, butterflies, leaves and wings. This is Nature's own garden deep, solemn and grey. I lere no praise is wanting day after day, The hummers complete what the rest for got to saw Odorous as a bouquet is this forest wide, Where flowers bloom and streamlets glide, And the coy blue violets love to hide. 1 tere a sweet, holy sadness steels o'er me As I feel the sacred intimacy of bird and of tree, Where trees protect the birds at night, at noon the birds rejoice the tree. Here where 6weet-scented flowers fall thick on the greensward, And where human footsteps have so sel dom ever trod, Is the absence of man and the presence of God. It is Paphos changed back to an Eden grove, Where all things are made for worship and iove, And trees reverently bow to the blue skies above. Here oft let me come in lone hours of prayer, To soothe jny sad spirit, to rest me from care, And give holiest reverence to Him who rules there. Saratoga, Wilson Co, N. C. A MIXTURE.

A Beautiful Wcddliu On the evening of the 10th of December I had the pleasure of attending one of the most impressive weddings that I ever wit nessed Miss Mattie Walston, of Tarboro, to Mr. Henry E. Keehler, of Winston. The marriage ceremony was performed in the Episcopal Church by J. B. Cheshire, D. D. The entire bridal party entered the church with perfect ease and grace of manner, led by Miss Jacksie Daniel and Mr. John B. Battle. Miss Daniel's manners were simply queenly. The lady attendants were all youthful and pretty, exquisitely attired in dainty robes of white Henrietta cloth, lav ishly decorated with satin ribbon. The The bride wore an elegant costume of white failli Francaise, combined with white bro caded plush en traine; veil with coronet of orange bios oms and white jassamines ; pearl ornaments. The whole scene, was like a beautiful panorama, which our imagination will view tar down the misty future, when that lovely, youthful bridal party shall all have been married. A giand reception fol lowed at the suburban residence of the bride's mother, which could not be excelled in the variety of dainties and the artistic manner i i arrangement. Guest. an.

The next report of the agricultural de- pal tmcnt should give us some statistics as to the number of rakes in society- i Edmund Clarence Sleadman, the Amer ican banker-poet, is small, wiry, active and alert, with remarkable black eyes. Miss Ethel Mackenzie, daughter of Sir Morrell, is a journalist by profession, and the correspondent of two American papers.

In the opinion of! cx-Cheif Justice Mc Clure, of the Arkansas Supreme Court, an ab!e Republican, the true solotion of the race problem is found in continueing the ballot to the negro but not to permit him to hold office.

What was hard to bear w ill be sweet to remember. If young men would deny themselves, work hard, live hard, and save in their early days, they need not' keep their noses to the grindstone all their lives, as many do. Let them be teetotalers for economy's sake. Water is the strongest drink; it drives mills; it is the drink of lions and horses; and Samson never drank anything else. The beer, wine and tobacco money will soon build a house and make their fortune. G rover Cleveland will step down and out in March and Benjamin Harrison will assume the Presidential ermine. But the night-stars wili continue to twinkle in the far-away firmament; the great day-star will rise in matchless majesty in the Ori ent and sink to rest in the Occident as it has these many hundred years; sweet Cynthia, pale empress of the night, will follow the old terrcstial ball with her ac- t customed faithfulness; the river will flow on as ever to the restless, surging sea, and the seasons will , come and go with their lime-honored unflinching regularitv, just the same, no matter whether it is Grover Cleveland or Beniamin Harrison uhn - - - - W stands at the helm of this proud Republic. Congressman Springer of Illinois has in troduced in the House of Represenatiues a joint resolotion proposing an amendment to the constitution relating to the election of President and Vice-President, and of rcprcsenatives in Congress. The most im portant features of his proposition are to make the Presidential term six years, the President to be ineligible to re-election; to elect Congressman for three years instead of two;' to have the new Congress meet on the first Wednesday in January after the election and to abolish the unit rule bv which th entire electoral vote of a State goes to one Piesidential candiate The method of counting the vote in joint con vention of the two Houses of Congress would remain substantially as at present- Tf.e net result of the proposed change would be equivilcnt to the election of Pres ident and Vice-President by the popular STATE NEWS.

One of Charlotte's ladies has cleared over five thousand dollars in the last three years by speculating in cotton futures. The inauguration of Governar Fowle will take place v-od" the 17th. There will be a grand military display and a ball at night. There were started in North Carolina in iSSS no less than forty-one cotton factories eight more than in any other Southern State, Durham is to hare a two hundred thous and dolla cotton factory. So we learn from the Plant. Who said, that Durham was "busted!" The Legislature has in it but 19 lawyers, 1 1 in the senate and S in the house. Far mers on you will hang the responsibility of legislation for the next two years. Elihue A.

The county of Mecklenburg votes on Thursday on the question of jsubscribing $250,000 to three pew railroads. There seems to be a good deal of feeling in the contest in Charlotte. Charlotte should follow the example of Durham. - Mr. John S. Battle, the bright son of our es;eemed friend Jas. S. Battle, Esq., Revenue agent and ex-Seriator from Nash won the appointment at West Point in the Second District in a competive examina tion held a Rocky Mount on the 27 of De-" cember. . The amourtof railroad building going on at the South, and in this State especially is wonderful. One cannot pick up a news paper without seeing an account of the rap id progress being made orra new railroad somewhere'in the State. This is a good indication of coming prosperity.' We are reliabIyinformed that the Dur ham Shuttle and Bobbin Mills will be star ted in opeiation in a few days.
