J PATIENCE WITH TIIE LIVING. i (Boston Watchman.) j Sweet friend, when thou and 1 are gop Beyond earth's weary labor, I When small shall be our need of gra' r rum luiiuuue I'l liiiiii m'i;i imii , Passed all the strife, the toil, the care, And done with all the sighting What tender tnrth shall we have gainell Alas! by simply dying.' Then lips too chary of their praise Will tell our mrit over. I And eyes too swift our faults ti see Shall no defeet discover. ; Then hands that would not lift a stone Where stones were thick to cumber . Our steep hill hath, with scatter flower- Above our pillowed slumber. 7 i Sweet friend, perchance both thou and I Ere Love is past forgiving. ; Should take the earnest lesson home i Be patient with the living. I To-day's repressed rebuke may save Our blinding tears to-morrow: Then patience, e'en when keenest edffi -iay wnet a nameless sorrow! 'Tis easy to be gentle when Death's silence shames onr clamor. And easy to discern the best Through memory's mystic glamour; But wise it were for thee and me. Ere Love is past forgiving, To take the tender lesson home Be patient with the living.

The couibiuutiou has uol been found to open the deud-locks in Pennsylvania, I tab, Delaware or California. A force of post-office clerks have been sent to Negros, Cuba and lloilo, where post-offices have been established. Many members of the Legislature left for their homes last ahi uud tu-day. They have done good wmk and doue it well and can go back l. tliei- coMliiu euts with clear cousj' ik.cs. It looks like the Pennsylvania Legis lature will have lo appoint a committee to investigate the proceedings of the committee which was appointed to inves tigate the charges of bribery. r'ayue Moore, charged with alleged complicity iu the badgering of Martin Mabon in New York, has been discharg ed from custody. The man Mahou skipped to prevent appearing as a wit ness against Miss Mohore. The repeated violation of Hags of truce by the Filipino insurgents should pre vent future recognition of such excuses to draw out two or three Americans as targets to be shot tit. It is a poor rule that won't work both ways. A cable ear etnploye in New York, while fixing a switchboard, re ceived a shock of 2,000 volts of electri city which turned his flesh black. Non why can't a black man he made white by the aame process' Aguinuldo has begun a suit against the Hong-Kong and Shangbi bank for the recovery of l!98,O00. It might be well for Aggy to write his will, for from General Otis' standpoint the insurgent's chief's executor or administrator will have to look after the law suit. General Otis has come to the conclu sion that the Filipino can't be civilized, so he is preparing now to pulverize it and make a careful examination of the result, with a view of ascertaining for the huiuunitariansociety. why they could not be Americanized. And now there is a dead-lock in the councilmen of Chambersburg, Pa., over the election of an engineer for their electric light plant. The board remain ed in session all night and had 300 bal lots. It is reasonable, next to hear that a bribery committee is to be appointed. Pennsylvania is great on dead-locks. LEGISLATURE. The Norfolk Ledger struck fhe nail on the head when it said: "We have watched with a great deal of interest the proceedings of the North Carolina Legislature, which adjourns to day, and have been impressed by the intelligent manner in which business has been conducted in it. Its members ap pear to have been capable, well-equipped business men to have known exactly what they wanted and to have proceeded in a direct manner, without waste of time, to secure the same." This is a true representation of the facts. It was a fine body. The State and the city are proud of the record made. Raleigh is particularly proud of the course of Representative Boushall. He was untiring in his efforts and ac complished more for Raleigh and the State than any representative Raleiah has had for many years. We could not have had a better representative.

An examining board of live is pro mised, to have full jurisdiction over the credentials of all applicants for license to shave, shaiuioo, or otherwise practice the profession of a barber iu the Stute. Such a reform is greatly needed. A State tonsoriul school as a department of State university instruction would not only eelvate a calling hitherto too much disregarded, but promote the happiness ot the citizen by guaranteeing the su perior quality of Ins morning shave. Tonsoriul reform would lie but the prelude to sartorial, culinary, and other reforms, in comparison with which tux reform and canal reform ure but trifles. Nevertheless, Governor Roosevelt bus susK?nded in the executive office a new machete, which is said to be a regular snickersnee." "GIVE I'S PROGRESS!" Preaching of the Crusade by Bernard of Clairvaux. Iu the March instalment of his Cen tury serial, "Via Crucis," Mr. Marian Crawford gives a most picturesque de scription of the preaching of the Second Crusade by Bernard of Clairvaux. The court of France was at Vezelay the king, the queen, the great vassals of the kingdom at the king's command, and those of Aquitaline and Poiton in the train of Eleanor, whose state outshone and dwarfed her husband's. And there was Bernard, the holy man of Clnir vaux, to preach the cross, where old men rememliered the voice of Peter the Her mit and the shout of men now loug dead in far Palestine "God's will! God's will!" March not as it were to de penance for your old sins, hoping for forgive ness, as a trader that brings merchan dise looks tor profit!" exhorted the preacher. "Strike not us slaves, who fight lest they be beaten with rods, neither as men in fear of everlasting tire and rhe torment of hell! Neither go out as thieves, seeking to seal the earth for yourselves, and striving not with the unbeliever, but with the rich man for his riches, and with the great man lor his possessions! I say, go forth lo do battle for God's sake and his glory! March ye for Christ and to bring the people to him out of dnrkness! Take with you the cross to set it in the hearts of men, ond the seed of the tree of life to plant among desolnte nations! "Ye kings, that are anointed lenders, lead ye the armies of Heaven! Ye knights, that are sworn to honor draw your unsullied swords for the honor of God! Men and youths, that bear arms by allegiance, be ye soldiers of Christ and allegiunt to the cross! Be ye nil first for honor, first for France, first for God Most High!" With those words the white-sleeved arm was high above his head, holding up the plain white woodeu cross, and there was silence for a moment. But when the people saw that hi' had finish ed speaking, they drew deep breath, and the air thundered with the great cry that came: "Crosses! Give us crosses!" And they pressed npon one another to get nearer. The king had risen, and the queen with him, and came forward and knelt at Bernard's feet, with bent head and folded arms.. . .ti . .ti. .6. .0 head and folded hands. The great ab bot took pieces of scarlet cloth from u page who held them ready in a basket, and he fastened them upon the kipg's left shoulder and the nraised his right hand in blessing. The people were sil ent again and looked on, and many thought that the king, in his great man tle and high crown, was like a bishop wearing a cope, for he had a church man's face. He rose to his feet and step ped back; but he was scarcely risen when the queen stood in his place, ra diant, the evening light in her hair. "I also will go," she said in a clear, imperious voice. "Give me the cross!" She knelt and placed her hands to gether, as in prayer, and there was a fair light in her eyes as she looked up to Bernard's face. He hesitated a moment, then took a cross and laid it upon her mantle; and she smiled. A great cry went up from all the knights, and then from the people, strong aud triumphant, echoing, falling, and rising again: "God save the queen the queen that wears the cross!" And suddenly every man held up his sword by the sheath, and the great crosshilt made forests of crosses i"n the glowing air. But the queen's there hun dred ladies pressed upon her. "We will not leave you!" thev cried. "We will take the cross with you." o S3 2 si o n -s Sib .s E ui -tf a. co ui s C. M. HAWKINS &0O.t Raleiffh, N. C. Poisoned by Ivy Was in a Dreadful Condition Happened to Read About a Simitar Caee-Followed the Other Man's Example and Was Cured. The following incident ia given by Charles Morris, general jobber,62 Lexing ton Avenue, North Cambridge, Mass.c "Several years ago I became poisoned by ivy. I tried many medicines, spending a large sum of money without obtaining a particle of good. My children were also afflicted with the same disease. We were all constant sufferers with an awful itching sensation, and it seemed as if I should tear myself to pieces. 1 picked up a paper in which I found printed a testimonial from a man in Vermont who had been similarly afflicted and had taken Hood'sSarsaparilla with benefit. 1 bought a bottle, which we took and it did Me and My Children so much good I purchased another supply. We continued taking Hood's Barsaparilla until we used five bottles and I can safely ssy that neither myself nor children have any signs of the poison. It has en tirely left us and we are perfectly cured. We give the whole credit to Hood'? Ssrsa parilla. Before resorting to this medicine I was reduced in weight, but now I weigh 175 pounds. Hood's Sarsaparilla has not only done much good but has been the means of saving me a great deal of money. I would not be without it in my house and I iieartity recommend it to all who are afflicted. I have writ ten this statement for publication, of my own will, as I v. a.-L oilier, u know wfTal Hood's Sarsaparilla has done for as." Charles Morris.

Ok la., suffered almost indescribable torment for three long1 years. Neuralpria held him captive. The right side of his face was so badly affected that the slightest I touch would cause the unfortunate ! man intense ag-ony. For several weeks he could open his mouth just wide enough to be fed with liquid nourish ment, and in this manner life was sus tained. Read the following extract from his letter: "Truth is stranger than Fiction." NEURALGIA, CATARRH AND RHEUMA TISM COMPLETELY CURED. George Briggs, of Moore, Oklahoma, writes that P. P. P., Lippman's tireat Remedy, cured him of catarrh, facial neuralgia and rheumatism, ufter three years of intense suffering. The pain lay in his cheek bone and temple, down the right side of his face, along his upper lip, and from the slightest touch he suffered agonies for weeks at a time. Could only open his moutii wide enough to admit a teaspoon, and any acid in his food would put him in torture. He had a consultation of the best physi cians in Texas, but all to no purpose. Catarrh and rheumatism were also causing him much trouble, until he tried P. P. P. He says he is well and will swear that there are no cases of I neuralgia, catarrh and rheumatism. no matter now chronic or now oia me cases are, that P. P. P. will not make a total cure of. Mr. Briggs winds up his testimony by saying he thanks God anil our med icine, P. P. P., Ljppman's Great Item edy, for the great cure. Kidney troubles, if neglected, bring about serious and painful and very often fatal results. P. P. P. removes the irregularities, and cures the dis eased parts. Dyspepsia and indigestion, skin and blood diseases, can be speedily removed by P. P. P., Lippman's Great Remedy. Ladies, take P. P. P. and rid your face of pimples, blotches, freckles, yellow or muddy skin, wrinkles and vulgar redness. ( SeM by ell drugglsU.
