Beside a river the Puritans knew.
In the primitive day of yore,
A man and Ins wife hive worthily lived
For fifty years, and more.
From the house, which was built before
their day,
They can follow the winding stream
Through meadows as fair as ever beguiled
A poet in his dream
They can ban the hum of the waterfall
And voices from over the lea.
And the distant stroke of the woodman's
ax,
And of the sea.
seldom within this quiet retreat
The face of the stranger is seen;
A stillness, like that of the Sabbath, rests
Upon its fields of green.
The house as its time-worn door.
Has M air of unruffled repose.
Like hush of a dreamy autumn day
When Hearing to its close.
It speaks of a harvest of gathered sheaves
Of reapers with tolling all
Of hand in hand for a little while yet,

We feel we arc heading on hallowed
ground,
And reverently bow the head.
As we count the years of wedded life
They have together led.
They wait for a few more morns,
a few in- re smiles and tears,
When, the hands of the Clock will cease
to move
In numbering their years.
It is said the house in their early days
Was known for its music and mirth.
When laughter and song kept time with
the roar
Of fires upon their hearth.
But tears would Start should we venture
to speak
Of those who have parsed away.

While living Here alone;
And fain would know, as through faith,

NEW FANGLED IDEAS.
Durham Sun.
The county institutes of New
York have brought out some new
ideas it would be well for the
to think about.
One orator wanted the school
children furnished with a warm
midday lunch, to be paid out of the
school fund.
The plan is brilliant and
and we have no doubt that as
far as the children are concerned
there would be no objection what-
ever. With roast turkey and
mince pie for Monday's luncheon,
stuffed veal and plum pudding for
Tuesday, chicken
ice cream for Wednesday, venison
steak and wine jelly for
and fried oysters and
for Friday, the average
school boy or girl would, we opine
be well content. Under such cir-
as these schools would
be a picnic and truancy would lose
its delights. There would be no
yearning to cast away ones books
and be a man when a school boy
should reach the mature age of 12-
The girls would not fret over
their and say they would
rather go home wash dishes,
if they had view the rich, rare
banquet that was to follow their
labors. The school room
would be crowded to its utmost
capacity, and even great big boys
and young girls be
tempted to abandon the workaday
world, with its prosaic noonday
sandwich and sour and revel
in the roast duck of
the school house.
But while these new and highly
admirable educational wrinkles
are being introduced, it would be
a pity to stop right here-
A never failing fountain of
de cologne would add to the gen-
attractiveness of the school
room, and if a string orchestra,
varied occasionally by an Italian
organ grinder, should emit
melodies from an adjoining
room the effect would be sublime.
Peanuts and sour balls might be
passed round every half hour, and
a tub of lemonade would sate the
thirst of restless pupils much more
successfully than the old oaken
bucket or weather-beaten hydrant.

short faithful story to tell in your

wise men in our State to arrive at
the cause and the remedy for hard
times among the farmers
In 1867 I found myself on a fair
average farm just where I am now
writing to you, with one good
mule, a broken down army horse,
a fair set of farming implements,
mostly second-hand, but without a
dollar of credit and just in
cash. It was the last week in Jan-
and time had come for us to

had a small quantity of corn,
about enough with economy to
feed my stock and give my family
for four or five months.
Times were then hard with me
sure enough. My near neighbor
was a little better off, but not much
as I thought him to be at the time.
We were talking over the matter
when he informed me that he was
going to Gadsden the nest day to
some arrangement for credit
to enable him to make his crop,
and asked me to go with him and
see what I could do. We went to

THE HOMESTEAD.

And Should no Longer Remain in its
Present Shape on the Statute Books.
Record.
Shall the homestead exemptions
be abolished or reduced T This is a
most important question, and
should most carefully consider-
ed by the people of North
and we would respectfully
that it be fully
by the members of the
Farmers Alliance at their meet-
this winter. It is a very
question and one that affects
them very seriously.
While the homestead clauses of
our State constitution were very
popular at the time of their
in 1868, and may have been
of great benefit to many persons,
yet now public opinion is
in favor of their abolition or
amendment. Those exemption
clauses wee incorporated into the
State constitution shortly after the
war, when nearly everybody was
in debt and had not sufficient prop-
to pay with on account of
their losses tho war. If these
exemptions should be repealed or
reduced, they should apply to
existing debts, but only to those
debts to be contracted the
Therefore persons now in
debt not be affected, but
only those who might go in debt
hereafter.
The Record favors a reduction
of the exemptions, and not their
abolition. We think that
of laud at pres-
and worth of
personal property are too large
exemptions. In the first place
very few persons own that much
property. statement may ex-
cite surprise, but it is none the
less true, at least in this portion of
the State. In this county
Chatham may be cited as an aver-
age in the hardly-
one taxpayer in every twenty owns
HOW worth of land and
worth of personal property. This
is ascertained by reference to the
tax lists of the county, and is not
a mere guess or conjecture. So
that, in aider to give a possible
benefit to so small a minority of
our citizens, these excessive
with their resulting
are still allowed. In or-
that one of the tax
may have a possible and
very doubtful benefit, are the
other willing
to submit longer to the evils and
inconveniences resulting there-
from
What are some of those evils
and inconveniences t

that the prevailing mortgage sys-

But the chief evil caused by our
excessive exemptions is the con-
traction of credit. A very great
deal is said nowadays about the
of tho and
much complaint is made about it.
Many schemes are suggested for
stopping this contraction. But
while so much is said about the
contraction of the currency, very
little is said about the contraction
of credit, and yet the latter is a far
greater evil than tho former. This
is readily perceived when we state
that ninety two per cent of all the
business of the country is done on
credit, and eight per with
actual currency. Therefore it is a
forcible illustration of the old say-

plenty to eat and a plenty of cloth-

her children a good education,
one of them being our teacher to-

Times.
Under this head a valued ex-
change says that men mistake
abuse and invective for argument.
They are arbitrary and think that
if others do not agree with them
and quietly submit to their dicta-
they are totally wrong. This
spirit is often manifested in pol-
in society, in the domestic
circle and in religion. It is, how-
ever, a fatal mistake- It cannot
do good and its tendency is con-
toward that which is evil.
You cannot control a man's mind
or bring his will into subjection to
yours by abuse. Abuse is a repel-
ling force and makes the gulf that
separates you from your fellow
man wider and wider. Every man

occasion, just cool enough to be
health-giving and bracing, while

make merry. The site chosen for
the contest was a
very large, open field where the
beautifully decorated arches and

throng from far and near, who
were anxiously waiting for the

satisfaction. The ladies on whom
the crowns were bestowed were as

Hands Before It Is Beady far Wear.
In Ilium days when well fitting,
comfortable and Jackets of
good material may bought to very
little money, compared with the prices
of cloaks of materials that may more
costly, bat not more stylish in cat, the
wonder is that the styles are not more
varied. The styles are more varied
than those of the garments for
men, but hundreds of cloaks of the
same pattern may be seen in the streets
any day.
Cloaks and Jackets are garments on
which women cannot show much orig-1
in making them at home, as
they can on dresses, and the styles are,
therefore, fixed by the designers em-
ployed by In many in-
stances the style depends on the mate-
rial to used, as it would be useless
to design a style with many puffs and
folds for thick; and heavy material.

Our Disgraceful
In spite of the wonderful commercial
end industrial progress of United
States we are still to a large extent
using the same soft, dusty, muddy
roads that served for our re-
mote ancestors. No organization has
done more to remedy this surprising
state of things than the League of

Mr. Isaac B. Potter, of New York, con-
that the cost to the farmer of
carting his produce over the
streak of that serves us for a
highway is no small factor in the exist-
agricultural depression, and point
out that the cost of maintaining proper
public wagon roads, though great, is
more than repaid to the community in
the enhanced value of adjacent prop-
alone. This position he supports
by statistics. It is to be hoped that Mr.

in rousing our rural communities to the
disgrace of a condition of things which
makes us the laughing stock of

two new sizes of postal
cards. The small card is same

about one-third of an inch shorter.
Tho largo card is fully an inch
longer and three-fourths of
