Our Aim mil be, the People's Right Maintain, Unatced by Poicer. and Unbribed by Gain." voL VIII. WILSON. NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 16 1889. NO: 30 MARRIED LIFE. SHORT SEXTIMEXTAI. SEBMOX By HENRY BLOCXT, - Those Who Have Entered this Bealni aoFalr, ana Heap The Fruits tbat Blpeu There, s a number of our young friends have ,centlv entered and others are preparing enter the love-tinted sea of Matrimony, t will offer a few words of sober, serious, .olenin, sensible advice. The think that ' soon as they launch their boats upon this beautiful and ecstatic sea of love-dreams Dow fulfilled, that the voluptuous gales of boneved endearment will waft them on the t?!Iows of rapture to the glorious harbor of Love's own full fruition in that sweet and ripe and mellow lusciousness of feeling which is born in happy wedlock. These j.opv voung couples think now that the ea w ill always be calm, and that the waters trill always be radiant and glimmering un der the shimmering glances of those falling sunbeams of affection's ministry, which come trickling down in thrilling showers torn cloudless skies of devotion. They do cot see the shoals that smiling sea conceals ; ev hear not the mutterings which the storm cloud of dissension may, even now, be nursing: they dream not that billows of strife may come sweeping across that now placid ocean, and wreck forever their life boat, now so gloriously and blissfully freigh ted with all those precious argosies of love fcought dreams and raptures. And that is ourreason for offering these young husbands tlvice. We had rather give them advice than money. It is easier aud more handy. And besides, in this instance, it is worth a gatdeal more; for if taken and faithfully fallowed it will save their wives from many a care and heartache, and drive from their so sunny skies those terrible clouds of tq'.ect which have darkened so many lires. Aiour advice: is be as tender and kind ciensiderate and devoted and loving to jcrwife as you were to your betrothed, ai2ood her existence with the same sweet, " soty sunny light of affection's ministry as tou did in the sweet hours of blessed court- ihip, and our word for it, the current of jour life and her life, "harmoniously ming ling, will ebb away as beautifully and as sweetly as the musical ripplings of some tmnsporting dream. Wives need petting. They are bound to have it. Endearment is their atmosphere. They crave it as flowers do the dew-drops, and without it they droop, their beauty fades, their glory, withers, their peifume dies Yes, wives starve to death without love, and by love, we mean love expressed in words and hon eyed endearment, and not merely felt as is too often the case, Married men so often icse sight of those little acts of attention &d kind notices, which are so dearly ap preciated by the -vife, and though they love ut as v.ell they seem to think they may take it for granted, and hence it is we see wtnay homes dark and rayles. If husbands ould only make their feelings speak out w eloquent expressions of endearment memories now so sacred to those dear old hours of "wooing and winning," would come back to their hearts and brighten their fives with Ileaven-bo'rrowed radiance. A husband's exhibition of love is to a woman glorious eden of rapture, and with no forbidden fruit in its bliss fringed borders. Through it are forever Sowings those rip-P'-ttg brooklets of murmering joy which mskes life ebb away in a thrilling and a kauteous rythm.. Love expressed in ton tTed endearments is to her of all things on the tenderest, the holiest, the purest. the best. It is the very soul of content "t, affection's ministry and sunnydreams. is the guardian Angel of the fireside, and ever slipping from its richly jeweled "2ofirs those precious,gems of endearment forever makes beautiful and glorious grand Paradise of home. And in return r these exhibitions of affection the wife's ".IStrv Will distil fnr thit annrorl;... band a thousand sweeter witcheries, for e"th rrr,.-: 1 t . a - growing and beauteous flower in - when wooing sunbeams are kissin cr "ing face and causing it to unfold er and fresher leaflets, each delighfully heTd riChCr and sweetcr fragrance, heart-that ever growing and ever ex Ciag flower of affection when the right crT'Of season is tending and nursing it, will 'd its leaves of endearment in rosier cf beauty, and distil a perfume "en v,i!l sweeten all the walks of trials appointment through the-detracting trv"! f business. Now husbands, "just or., anjj see how nice,v Jt '. how beautifully becoming. a lvju ioubtship. At Last Most Gloriously Rewarded. Last week The MIrror contained an account of a young couple embarking on the sea of matrimony at the ages of 17 and 14 years, and after a short and precious courtship. This week It will tell of another marriage after a twenty-five years court ship. Mr. Long wooed and won Miss Short, and then went forth to seek his fortune, Through all the 6lowly rolling years, his manly bosom has throbbed with no new love; no strange fire -has flickered on his affectional altar; no fresher goddess has claimed one bend of his adoring knee hinges. And while a whole generation of human insects have birthed, wedded and defuncted, while empires, republics, dynasties, princi palities and powers have risen and fallen, in the old and new worlds, her true heart has clung to him like a cockle burr to a long wobled merino. Storms, trials, sepa ration and vicissitudes have wrought no change In their love deathless, unfading love, which forms the food of angels, the whole atmosphere ol Heaven love, whose other name Is God, infinite, immutable and eternal, and at last after dreary years their patience hath her perfect work. They're linked, gold banded, wedlocked, haltered, for better or worser, while the tough old tapers of their lives shall bnrn. Such un mistakable constancy, such heroic nerve, such stubborn, all-obstacles-defying deter mination was worthy of a nobler cause and happier fate. A twenty-five years, engage ment, in the natural order of things, ensures them at least a century of matrimonial martyrdom. May pitying Heaven shed its lustrous streaks of its own pure pale opa line radiance athwart the mouldy green cheese disc of their venerable honeymoon, And may Gabriel, when he comes, trum bone in hand, to summon the righteous legions to the bright and beautiful beyond, find their fertilizing dust loving intermin gled in the same perennial jimsonweed. Aman. A woman. WHAT THE BIBLE IS. It is the star of eternal hope, whose oril liant rays come twinkling to this nether world ; erring man's guide to wisdom, virtue and holiness. The Bible is the great and incomparable Book of books, its letters are brilliant sapphires , its words sparkling dia monds, its chapters pearls of luminous light ; its hole the living splendor of a glorified humanity. In comparison, Byron loses his fire, Milton hls4 soarings, Gray his beauties, and Horner his grandeur; no human soul ever reasoned like sainted Job's ; no poet ever 6ung like Israel's shepherd King, and God never made a more wise man than Solomon. The Bible is a window in the prison of hope, through which we look into eternity. It contains more true sublimity, more exquisite beauty, more pure norality, more important history, and finer strains of poetry and eloquence than can be collected from all other books ever wrif ten In all the ages, and all the languages that have ever been Invented.' The promises of the Bible are pictures on the golden walls of immor tality, dew drops from the evergreen trees of etenity, pearls from the deep sea of God's love. As the moaning shell whispers of the deep, deep sea, so the Bible breathes of endless life in Heaven. Ohl that more of its blessed precepts were bound about our hearts, and we had the wisdom to make them the mottoes of our lives. WHAT SAM JONES SATS. The Durham Globe gives daily accounts of the Sam Jones meetings now in progress there. During yesterday's talk Mr. Jones made some cunning references to old molds that was very perceptibly enjoyed by the aadience. Inere was much chastity in what he said, and the milk of human kind ness oozed its way through this entire por tion of his discourse. I'd rather, he said, be a hundred old maide relied into one than to be a drunkard's wife. Whenever his eyes rested upon an old maid he became impressed with the fact that somebody hand't done his duty. And on the other hand when he saw an old bachelor some how or other he thought of a hog. He couldn't account for this association of ideas, but it always occurred to him just that way- SAM JOXES IIIJ3IOR. Send a nickel to The Globe, Durhnm, N.

The town of Lee, Me, runs a schedule of Its own and gets along without a lawyer, doctor or minister. The world is like a wheel incessantly revolving on which humane things alter nately rise and fall. - We gain nothing by falsehood but the disadvantage of not being believed when we speak the truth. ! We must not hope wholly to change their original tempers, nor make the gay pensive, without spoiling them. Gen Bouianger will peno. the winter In Egypt. He will start for Africa as soon as the cold weather sets In. An Oregon girl wrote to Anna Dickin son once, asking "how to get a husband?" and Anna replied "by the hair." Nearly 22,000,000 acres of land in the United States areowne'd by men whoowe allegiance to other governments. The new rifles adopted by the Swiss gov ernment have been exhaustively and suc cessfully tested rt ith smokeless powder. Miss Louise Theron, of Boston, was married at Lenox, Mass, Oct 3d ro William C.Endicott, Jr., son of ex-Secretary End! cott. Every man's heart and conscience doth in good or evil, even secretly committed, and known to none but itself, either like or dis allow itself. When a man tells yon anything that is derogatory to your neighbor, ask him to go with you at once to that neighbor and tell him about it. Now that the two Dakotas have got on their full State harness we hope they will try to behave themselves and give some attention to their blizzards. K There is a rumor that the German waiter is henceforth to wear a kind of order, a guilded scar, pending from a short chain, on his manly breast. A colored man was killed in Washington City Saturday by the explosion of a soda fountain, which he was charging. His head was split open, and he died instantly. Dr. Von Riedel, Bavarirn minister of finance, announces that during the fiscal year of his administration, just ended, he has saved the government 2 5,000,000 marks. The Indianapols ministers have refused a request to preach on civil service reform. They know there is no use of preaching on that while Harrison is running the "family roost." Jay Gould says the report that he has dumped $30,000,000 New York Elevated Railroad stock on the London market is rubbish. Jay don't take much stock in "rubbish." One of Sag Harbor's old citizens has quit the use of tobacco. He says he has smoked 75,000 cigars during the past fifty veirs and did not begin until he was twenty four years old. Mahone and Foraker are both said to bear their presidential aspirations on the re sults !n the coming elections in Ohio and Virginia. Two little boomlets will be laid to rest in November. An exchange says: "Oysters are very self-possessed creatures. They never turn r red when ther get Into a stew." We've noticed that they are not at al! crabbed un der the circumstances mentioned. It looks as if Hayti was to be run by an American syndicate, which has secured certain rights and privileges to build rail roads, telegraphs, mines, banks, &c, in which they propose to invest $iS,ooo.ooo. West Virginia Republicans think that if Mr. Goff were put In the Cabinet it might have an influence to make that State Re publican. Not much. It will take more than that to make West Virginia Goff on that track. ' The Mormons are holding their sixth general annual conference at Salt Lake City. A number of elders and apostles are present, who claim that the church Is estab lished by God, and that no power or. earth can stay its progress. The officers of the United States ship En terprisehave been hospitably entertained by the Duke of Argyle at his castle at In verary, Scotland. The Enterprise is the first foreign war-ship that ever sailed up the waters of Loch Tyne. We are informed that Miss Helen Gre gory "was the first lady to take the degree of Mus. Bac from Trinity, Toronto. Wonder what that Is. Expect it ought to be Moss Back. Those Canadian printers are proverbally inaccurate. Chang Yan Hoon, the retiring Chinese minister, is enthusiastic over Americn rail road management, and will advocate a sim ilar system in China. And yet it is doubt ful If he ever saw the American railroad baggage smasher in his full glory. And New York, too falls into line and reaffirms the tariff 'reform platform adopted at St. Louis last year. The Democratic Convention of that State also endorsed Cleveland's administration tliroughout It really does look like Cleveland in 1892. Latest retuns from Montana give a Dem ocratic majority of seven on joint balloin the Legislature. Joseph K. Totjle, Demo cratic candidate for Governor, has a major ity of about 800, and ex-Gov. Thos. H. Carter, Republican , for Congress, a major ity of about 1,200. One of the best rules in conversation is, never to say a thing which any of the com pany can reasonably wish we had rather left unsaid ; nor can there well be anything more contrary to the ends for which people meet together, than to part unsatisfied with each other or themselves. Charles B. Bishop, the comedian, well known in Wilson, dropped dead on the stage in New York, Tuesday. His wife was with him when he died. Mr. Bishop was the best and mcst refined exponent of broad comedy on the American stage. Before he went on the stage he was a medi- cal practitioner in Baltimore. It is said that strong opposition is devel oping among the Republicans of Kansas to the return of Senator Ingalls, whose term in the United States Senate expires in 1S91. Mr. Ingalls is credited with having made many enemies by his distribution of the federal patronage and his attempt to straddle prohibition. American who fall In love have a decided advantage over foreigners similarly afflicted. A writer who has been studying up the American vernacular has discovered that we have S27 different terms to express the State of being in love, which makes it a comparatively very easy matter when a fellow finds it necessary to vent his feelings across the front gate. The largest republic in the world is that of the United States of America, which contains upwards of 3,200,000 square miles being almost equal in extent to Europe, which has fifty-nine kingdoms, empires, principalities and republics. The largest State is Texas, which contains 274,356 Square miles, capable of sustaining 20,000, 000 of people, and then not be more crowd ed than Scotland is at present. The grand jury of Joaquin county, Cali fornia, have made a report declaring that the killing of Judge Terry by deputy mar shal Nagle was intentional and deliberate, but that he cannot be tried by the State court from the fact that he has been taken out of its hands by the U. S. circuit court. Mrs. Tunstall Smith, the beautiful wife of a leading dry goods merchant of Baltimore committed suicide Saturday by shooting herself in the head with a pistol. Her re lations with her husband were of the most cordial character, and nervous depression is assigned as the cause of her taking her life. She was only twenty-seven years of age and leaves three children. STATE NEWS. FKOM THE DEEP BLUE SEA TO THE GRAND OlD MOUNTAIN. An Hoar Pleaiaatly Spent ITltn Oar Delightful Exchanges. Cherokee county has 2,:oS while polls and only 16 colored. The town authorities of henderson are negotiating for water works. Rutherford county boasts of a pumpkin which weighs 126 pounds. Thus far this year 102 miles of railroad have been laid in this State. The Charlott street railway will change its motive power to electricity. A syndicate has been formed by North Carolina and Pennsylvania capitalists to work the extensive coal deposits in Stokes countv. Col. W. li. S. Burgwyn will very soon have a smoking tobacco factory in operae tion at Henderson which will employ a large force. It is now an assured fact that Goldeboro will have her electric lights full ablaze by the opening of the big Fair on the 22d of this month. The Goldsboro Rifles are going to the Fayetteville Centennial in their full-dress "Gray" especially to do honor to Hon.. Jefferson Davis., Sanford has fourteen trairs a day. At 1 o'clock p. m. there can be seen approach ing, the crossing four trains from four dif ferent directions. It is one of the noisiest villages at this time of day on the Ameri can continent. The Stanly Observer has be.en shown a splendid sample of slate from some place in that county, and thinks there will be big money in It. The resources of the State in minerals, building stone, slate and marble, are'simply wonderful. . - Mr. Warren says that Pitt county has some of the finest tobacco land in the State. Some of the eastern sections of the State bid fair to become tobacco growing sections, and Pitt is among the most prominent. Mr. Warren's 3 acres net him $532,80. The Charlott Democrat, a throughlv re liable Journal says: "The August prospect of cotton in this section is said by the farm ers to be the most prolific ever known-and thus far into September the growth has been abundant. It is now a certainty that with a late fall crop will be the largest ever harvested." Linville City, a new town in Mitchell county, we learn is coming up like magic. A fine hotel has been erected and many other good buildings are in couise of con struction, and as soon as the Southern 6c Western Air Line R. R. reaches that point it will be one of the most popular summer resorts in Western North Carolina. The Concord Standard says that on Thursday two sons of Mr. K. P. Nusenhie- mer, of Cabarrus county, attracted consid erably' attention. The oldest one, about ten years old, weighs one hundred and two pounds ; the younger one Is nearly as fat. One of them has six fingers on each hand and both have six toes on each foot. Thev will be jumbos some day. It was a free show, but a good deal cf money was given them bv the crowd. The coal of the State is destined to be important. The coal seam of Chatham crosses the State into Granville and thence . no doubt into Mecklenburg, Va. Mr. W. B. Crews, living seven miles southwest of Ox ford on Tar river, has a coal deposit on his farm, known for ten or fifteen years. Only the other day Colonel Roger O. Gregory discovered on his farm some fifteen or twenty miles north of Mr. Crew's a deposit of coal. We mention this to show that even the coal fields are not yet all known Opium & Liquor Habits Cured Without Nerv ous Shock or Distress.
