tiful picture of a su'jeet dear t a the
heart of every true uiuu and wmitau.
The old folks at hoote, in t!m pijt.ico,
were just what they should have been
Irippy. 1 1 was, aside from an artistic
view, a picture that would attract and
do'ieht tho eye.
Another picture is painted to tho
miiid. It is the same subject. In place
of smiles thuie are tears coursing down
the furrowed cheeks. An cxpressiou
of anxious csre takes the place of pleas-
ure, as ihey gaze on the letter before
them. That letter contains bad news
from those whom those two agod hearts,
in the years gono by, bad hoped would
prove an honor and blessing to their
father and mother in their old age.
Now all this bright coloring of a happy
old ago ives way to tho dark colors of
life that mako Death welcome and -"the
grave a flowery bed of oa.o Those ar
true pictures of the old folks at home ic
every coruiuuiuty.
Looking at the agod ui it tier's face,
love for Iter child shine forth under all,
no matter bow trying, circumstances.
In tho criminal court of Chicago, ro
eeutly, a young man was tried and
convicted of a capital crime. The
mother had sat with ber boy all through
the trial. Sho bad hoard all the ovideuce
for and against him. Sho bad listened
to the arguments of couusol for and '
against her son, and whin tho jury
brought in a verdict of guilty she could
nolouger retain herself and ia her. des
pair and excitement arose and denounced
in frenzied words tho court, hoping Mily
to save her boy. Blinded by luvo that
mother could see no ill in ber san,
thoHgh be belonged to that class of be
ings which infest all large cities. No
one can estimate a mother's lovo. lt

OUR STATE CONTEMPORARIES.
To begin then with our highest oonrr.
They should provide for the amendment
j of our Statu Constitution so a to add .
two more J udgeg to the present number.
The business of tho court has Increased
to sncb an extent (bat the labor ia too
great for three person to perform, with
tho thorough aud carefnl consideration
which all of its adjudications should iw -ceive.
The decisions of our highest
court ought to be carefully made, tad
thoroughly and maturely oonaidered le .
' fof e thoy arenbl Aed-ift ofcsdnee
and government of the inferior eonrU
and the public. : The judicial district!
of the Stato ought to be reformed so
that courts of adjoining counties should
conflict with each other as little as pos
sible. This could be accomplishod by
establishing on inferior system of ooarU
upon its permanent a basis as the Supe
rior Courts are now established, and
not dependent as the late Inferior Courts
were, upon the whim and oapriee of sel
fish politicians and unprincipled demo,
gogtics. Wo have bad enough local op
tion legislation, and the worst of wbioh
was that which applied to our court of
justico. Our judiciary ought to be in
dependent, and as fur removod as poeti.
blc from the corrupt atmosphere of pob
h:s.--CtlJsboro JMesscnger.
In the language of the statute, "the
ends of j'lslico, pub'.io morals and the
preservation of order demand that th
execution of capital offenders should be
ma lc private." Wo have no hesitation
iu Maying that the statute is right. Pab
!ic exeeutioiis feud to corrupt morals
pervert jo.lf meut. aud inspue vicious
P'.is.ioii-.. Of course there is a horrid
interest attaching to tbe banging of a
human being, and there arc thousands
who would like to seo it. Tbose who
go to iviti.ess r.ueh scenes expect to SCO
something that will horrify their better
fc lings, and they generally resort to
stiiouliints to brace up their nerve.
U'o oil know the bad affects of whiskey
upon a crowd, and wo can hardly con
ceive it to be possible that orowd
should go away. from such a plaoe bet
ter and wiser. There was perhaps noth
ing that tended to debauch the moral
of the old Romans so much as their
fierce and cruel gladiatorial contests oo
the arena. This final act of the penal
law ought to bo invested with proper
solemnity. This cannot be don in
public. Piitsboro Home,
There are writers who are hopeful
that tho timo will come when haman
life will be very greatly extended. San
itation and' medical science, it is hoped .
will, yet increase tbe avcrago of life
permanently and greatly. To justify
s loli an expectation the city of Birming
ham, England, is pointed to. In 1871.
it bad 344,9 -0 inhabitants, and 41
persons to every acre. In 1885, th
population bad grown to 427,769, aad
51 persons to each acre. But tbe healing
has been better and the death rata low
er. In 1871 tho deaths numbered 8,695;
in 1885, but 8,156, although th pop,
lation was some 85,000 more. Tb
actual saving in deaths for three yean
was 17,715. 1 hat is what good sanita
tion aud science did. Hero is a lesson
for all cities, towns and Tillages.
Wilmington Star. .".
Senator Vance has introduced a bill
in the Senate for the repeal of th CiU
Servico law. We hope the Senator will
keep hammering away on this manifest
ly unjust end un-Demoeratio measure
until it shall have been wiped from the
statute books. Jllbtmarlt Observer.
Ono of the saddest objeots we art apt
to see is a heart broken by affliction
and without ooufidonoe in God'. Th
mind is iu such a case is the eunniag
instrument of its own tot tare. It prey
upon itself with a cruel voracity. J
is not only despair, but despair armed
with a deathless ttlng. To th infant
ed imagination Providence wear the)
aspect of a capncious tyrant ever sport
ing with the sensibilities of it belplet
victims. Charlotte ChutxK .Vuea

Speaker Carlisle think there will h
nn looialAtinn this winter to Mdauw tha
revenue. The time is too short and
there is too much disagreement on both
sides of the House. "The Ameriean,
people," be says, "cannot be mad to
realise a situation until it is aetoallf
upon thorn."
