Albert Rockingham and Jchn
Daweon bad been boys together.
Albert had always gone to Sun-
day school and obeyed his par-
ente, but John had been 8 bad
boy. He had loved to torture
kittens, to destroy birdTs neste
and to make jittle girls cry.
In time they grew to manhood
and Joved the same woman.
Julia Birdsall worshipped Al
bert Rockingham, until he was
arrested for highway robbery
and sentenced te the penitentiary
for tweoty-seven years. Then
hor heart turned to stone.
oJnlia!� he cried, as they were
leading himaway. oJulia! Julia!
I am innocent |�
But she gave him the Chilcoot
Pass and faintedin the arms of
John Dawson, who smiled sar-
donically and muttered :
o3 much, Albert Rockingham,
for being a good boy and going
to Sunday schoo)?�
Twelve years passed"twelye
weary, sorrow-laden years, dur-
ing which John Dawson made
love to the woman who had
promised to be Albert Rocking-
hamTs wite, and collected the rents
that the falsely accused man
ought to have had.
»-But Nemesis had all along been
hiding her time, and one day,
when John Dawson wasnTt look-
ing, she stole up and hit him on
the solar plexus.
Two days later Albert Rock-
ingham emerged from _ prison,
Weighing seventeen pounds more
than he did when he was senten-
Ged. .
oJulialTT he cried when she
stepped forward at the depot.
oAlbert!� screamed the beau-
tifal girl, and their Jips met.
Then John Dawsen was lead
away, gtiting hia teeth and
swearing that he was not through
yet.
Vain threat! He rotted in a
dungeon, while Albert and Jul a
raised a large family and were
truly happy.
Thus virtue had triumphed,
but, unfortunately, this didnTt
happen in real life.
It was just a thirty cents for the

Joe JeffersonTs Story-
At the sixth sanoual meeting
and dinner of the Old Colony
club at the Vinevard Sound
house. Falmouth Heigths, Joe
Jefferson presided and opened
the proceedings with the follow-
ing story:
oThe worthy captain has just
told me that itis useless to ex-
pect of him a speech, but that if
he were walking the quarter
deck of a ship he would know
where he was. Now that is
where he greatly differs from
myself. When I am walking a
quarter deck of a ship I do not
the least know where Lam. Iam
reminded of what once occurred
to me. 1 was crossing the At-
lantic. The weather was dreadful.
Captain Ashley knows what that
means. I was trying to guide
myself along the deck, and,
incidently, to aid others, In this
mission I ran across a lady lying
prostrate on the deck, evidently
gorely troubled with that dread-
ful disease, sea sickness.
oT paid to her, ~Madame, may I
bring you anything to relieve
you?�
oShe looked up at me and fee-
bly said: ~L beg you will not
mention it. Will you also kindly
excuse me, sir?�
oJ then said to her: ~But is
there nothing I can do for you?�
« ~No, sir,T said she in the same
tone. ~Please go away:
~~But madame,T I said, ~you
are evidently suffering. Can I
do nothing to he!p you?T
o~T wish,T said she, ~that you
would go away. Iam not fit to
gee any one.T
o 7 am sorry, madame,T I per-
sisted, ~that I can be of so little
service. Can I do nothing for
your poor hnsband, the gentle-
man whose head I see in your
lap?T
~Oh,T said she, ~that 1s not my
husband. I do not know in the
least who he is.T �

Odd Things About Rainbows
Did you ever see a rainbow in
the west?
In discussing this curious ques-
tion the Philadelphia Times
giyes some interesting facts in
regard to a rainbow and how itis
formed :
1. lt is never seen except when
the sun is shining in one part of
the sky, and rain 1s falling in the
other, or opposite, part.
2. It is generally seen in the
east, because our showers come
from the west and pass off toward
the east.
3, ft cannot be formed ino the
east except in the afternoon.
4. It cannot be formed in the
west except in the morning.
5. Iv is never seen at midday,
because the sun is then above us.
and we cannot, therefore stand
between it and the rain.
Some of you may wonder why
a rainbow is always semi-circular
in shape. As a matter of fact, it
is always a complete circle, but
we cannot see but one half of the
circle, because the earth cuts of
our yiew. If we were poised in
the air, high aboye the earth, ~we
could gee it all. The circular
ghape is due to the fact. that the
raindrops are round and that
each drop reflects but one color
aga strange thing, but
to onreyes. Iv may strike you
it ig true,

Bodies of Criminals, Insane and
Poor Sent to Medical Schools,
It is a fact not generally known
that the last legislature passed an
act requiring that the bodies of
all criminals executed and all
people dying in jails, hospitals,
asylums and other public institu-
tions and required to be buried
at the public expense, shall be
delivered to the medical colloges
of the State to be dissected for
the promotion of medical science.
But such is the case, and un-
dertakers in this city have had
quite a number of ostiffs,� as they
are called, to embalm and send
to the institutions of learning
bince the pansage of the act-
Mr. John Brown last week sent
the bodies of two negro women,
trom the Goldsboro Insane Asy-
lum, to the University of North
Carolina, and he now has anoth-
er negro woman, undergoing the
embalming process, which he will
senda to Shaw University tomor-
row. She is from the peniien-
tiary and died of consumption.
All such bodies west of Golds-
boro are sent to Davidson Co:-

The Indiana Lynchings.
According tothe latest statis-
tics available, there were in this
For every ten years the lynchinugs
in the United States haye exceed-
ed the legal executions. It is a
horrible fact to face, but the
statistics are before us.
We preach against other coun-
tries, and yet we find that not one
murderer ir fifty is punished
according to his deserts, and that
for every two hanged legally
nearly uhree are murdered ille-
gally in the name of justice.
No more awful illustration of
this modern tendency to take the
law out of the hands'of the legal
authorities could be found than
in the case reported from Indiana.
Five men accused of burgalry
were lynched. Atthe very worst,
this crime cold not have been
legally punished by death, and
the work of the mob will stand
out not only as murder, but as
murder without cause. )

WHAT THE WOOD FIRE SAID TO THI
LITTLE BOY.
What said the wood in the fire
To the little boy that night,
The little boy of the golden hair,
As he rocked himself in his little armchair
When the blaze was burning bright?
The wood said: ~~See
What theyTve done to me!
I stood in the forest, a beautiful tree,
And waved my branches from cast to west,
And many a sweet bird built its nest
In my leaves of green
That loved to lean
In springtime over the daisiesT breast.
~From the blossomy dells
Where the violet dwells
The cattle came with their clanking bells
And rested under my shadows sweet,
And the winds that went over the clover and
wheat "
Told me all that they knew
Of the flowers that grew
In the beautiful meadows that dreamed at my
feet.
~~And the wild windTs caresses
Oft rumpled my tresses,
But sometimes as soft as a motherTs lip presses
On the brow of the child of her bosom, it laid
Its lips on my leaves, and I was not afraid,
And I listened and heard
The small heart of each bird
As it beat in the nests that their mothers had
made.
~And in springtime sweet faces
Of myriad graces
Came beaming and gleaming from flowery
places,
And under my grateful and joy giving shade,
With checks like primroses, the little ones
layed,
And the sunshine in showers
Through all the bright hours
Bound their flowery ringlets with silvery braid.
*And the lightning
Came brightening
From storm skies and frightening
The wandering birds that were tossed by the
breeze
And tilted like ships on black, billowy seas,
But they flew to my breast
And I rocked them to rest
While the trembling vines clustered and clung
to my knegs.
oBut how soon,� said the wood,
oFades the memory of good,
For the forester came with his ax gleaming
bright,
And I fell like a giant all shorn of his might.
Yet still there must be
Some sweet mission for me,
For have I not warmed you and cheered you
tonight?�T
So said the wood in the fire
To the little boy that night,
The little boy of the golden hair,
As he rocked himself in his little armchair
When the blaze was burning bright.

that when a horse of this breed
finds himself wounded and perceives
that he will not be able to bear his
rider much longerT he quickly re-

master to a place of safety while he
has still sufficient strength. But if,
