poet to a friend who was to de-

There's something in the parting hour
Will chill warmest heart
Yet kindred, comrades, lovers, friends,
Are fated all to part;
But this I've many a pang
Has pressed it en my mind
one who goes is happier
Than those lie leaves behind.
No matter what the journey be,
Adventurous, dangerous, far,
To the wild deep or black frontier,
To solitude or war ;
Still something cheers the heart that
dares
In all of human kind,
And they who go are happier
Than those they leave behind.
The bride goes to her husband's home
With and with
But does not hope her rainbow spread
Across her cloudy fears
Alas the mother who remains.
What comfort can she find
But this, the gone is happier
Than one she leaves behind.
Have you a f a comrade dear
An old and valued friend
Be sure your term of sweet concourse
At length will have an end
And when you part you will
O, take it not unkind,
If he who goes is happier
Than you he leaves behind
God wills it so, and so it Is ;
The pilgrims on their way,
Though weak and worn more cheerful
are
Than all the rest who stay;
And when at last, poor man subdued,
Lies down to resigned,
May he not still be happier far
Than those he leaves behind r

In the New York Herald of last

Amelia E. Barr, upon the over-use
of alcoholic stimulants by
ed women of the they whip
their flagging energies with

that the dance or dinner
which seemed to be impossible is
and thus little by little
they are led beyond their own
control. We make a
It must be allowed that the
conditions under which the terms
of fashionable hard labor are
carried on in their seasons are
full of temptations to the use of
stimulants. The heated, vitiated
atmospheres of ball rooms, the
late hours, the overloaded
from feasts of many courses,
the numerous engagements fol-
lowing one another in ceaseless
these things clamor
for artificial aid. But the
usually taken under such
circumstances only jogs the
nerves, and invites the use of
some stronger liquor to quiet
them- Stimulants cannot create
strength, and a dose of wine that
makes a tired woman feel
that gives her and is
bought by such paralysis of the
nerves as disorders her
and such weakening of the
brain as dulls her moral senses.
We pass by the discussion of
other evils, the natural result of
fondness for drink in to
the following paragraph which is
the meat of Mrs. Barr's

socially. Personally they have
more will power to resist the
domination of alcohol and socially
their influence and example as
slaves to it is far less integrating.
It is groat truth that vice in a
woman is more of a crime then
the same vice in a man. For in
social manners and customs con-
duct is more then law,
men are the autocrats of conduct
and custom. If, then, women
should ever make certain vices
tolerable would no bar-
left against them, and the
influx of many secondary passions
would be natural and certain- A
drinking woman is a social
of the worst type, and the
idea is so shocking that it requires
an effort of the will to
plate her.
This discussion may well excite
interest and occasion alarm. For-
there is no need, within
the range of the Observer's
for present application of
the warning given in the
quotations, but it may warn
against the entering wedge, the
beginning of the social vice. A
man drunkard is an object for
pity or contempt A woman
drinker is a monster, and the
greater her station the greater
monster. It is said that
women should over make

larger degree than the Bible or

our civilization, for, should they
set themselves against Bible and

That they may not do so they
must be guarded from those vices
which would lead the n to do so.
In them is centered everything
that lifts civilization above
that of the Hottentots, and thus
all that makes life worth living.
Men, therefore, should be no less
interested than women themselves
in guarding the citadel, and there
is a double curse awaiting the

promising outlook for a great
Southward movement of well-to-

increase in the received

reports that the tide of
is turning to the South in a
way that would scarcely have been
deemed possible a few years ago.

just at the right time, for, as
shown by an article on Eco-
Change in Southern Farm-
the agricultural interests of
the South are nearer on a cash
basis than since the war. In this
article it is shown how Southern
farmers have gradually changed
from the system of raising all
cotton on credit and buying their
foodstuffs to a cash basis pro-
at home their corn
bacon, thus saving to the South
the millions of dollars that have
heretofore annually gone West
for food supplies for man and
beast The January issue of the
Southern States continues the
publication of letters North-
and Western farmers who
have settled in the South, giving
their views, based on their own
experiences, as to the advantages
offered by the South for farmers.
These letters attracting much
attention, publication is
doing great good in convincing
Western farmers who have never
been South of attractions of

Wilson tariff bill, and its passage
by the House is now as
as anything that has not actually
taken place Can be. The only
material amendments made to the
bill during tho debate in the
House were those abolishing the
sugar bounty and patting refined
sugar on the list. The last is
believed to have been the hardest
blow ever given to the sugar trust.
A determined fight was made for
the amendments putting a

they were voted down by
majorities. It is not
that any other i
amendment will attached to
the bill, unless it shall be decided
to make the internal revenue bill,
which includes the income tax,
which has just been reported to
the house, one.
Several changes were made in
the internal revenue bill before it

the shot, therefore, toward tho

same as firing at France or Italy, as
the ball would necessarily fall on tho

Dangerous Practices.
There is one thing the Town
Council should put it j foot down
on, and should not wait longer
ladies. than next meeting to do it. There
is already an ordinance prohibit
the running at large of horses
and mules on the streets, but this
either does not cover
the matter completely or else
there is a gross violation of it.
The stock dealers of the town, at
least some of them, a
of turning a lot of mules out
on the streets most every day, and
these with two careless
on horse back go galloping all
over town, taking possession of
streets and sidewalks much to the
danger, annoyance and fright of
people on the streets. Whether
this is done to give the stock ex-
or as an advertisement, or
both, we do not know, but it
should not be allowed another
day. Of course when the dealers
receive a new shipment of stock
they should be permitted to take
them from the depot to the stables
yet oven this should be under
proper restrictions, but under no
circumstances should any stock
come out of the lot or stables
less harness or held by u halt-
Another thing the Reflector
has been intending to of is
the way vehicles are driven across
the sidewalks in and out of
the stables. No animal should be
driven across a sidewalk faster
than a walk. Again we notice
that especially on public days the
streets by some of the stables are
with vehicles most of the
day. There is already an
against blockading the
streets, but like some others it
does not get much attention from

of Interest to

NOW that the planting season
is again at hand, the question
is of most interest to far-
is, what shall I plant, where
shall I plant it, and how shall I
plant it. After determining what
to plant and when to plant, it is
of equally as much importance
how you plant and cultivate. We
think it is conceded by all, that
no land will make a good

THE TOBACCO TAX AGITATION.
For some considerable time, in
fact since Congress first met in
extraordinary session last August
internal revenue tax on cigar-
has been a public question
of great importance to the
co trade of North Carolina and
Virginia. The Ways and Means;
Committee has reported a bill to
the House of Representatives ad-
vising an increase of the internal
revenue tax of one dollar per one
thousand cigarettes. The pres-
tax is fifty cents a thousand
on cigarettes or about seventeen
cents per pound and if tho new
bill becomes a law the tax will
be nearly three times as much as
it is now which will have a ten
to one or two things-
Either the cigarette manufacturers
will raise the price of cigarettes
or decrease the price of cigarette
tobacco. If the revenue from in-
creased taxation had to be paid
by the consumers of cigarettes
than the increased taxes would
not work such disaster to
bright tobacco producing States
but let us look plainly at the
and see who will have it to
pay event the bill becomes
a law, the cigarette smokers or
the bright tobacco growers of
two States named above
To-day cigarettes are sold all
over the United States at one
price, five cents a pack. The
price is fixed and through its long
standing has become so
that to increase the price of
cigarettes from five to ten cents
a pack, the cigarette
know will have a tendency
to decrease the demand for
goods in some sections and among
certain people the
smoking tobacco pouch and cigar-
paper will serve the purpose
and is then if there is
any way to pay the increased tax-
without detriment to their
interest, naturally that course will
be pursued and the only course
left in this case, for the
to make their accustomed
profits is to again strike down the
price of cutters sufficiently low to
pay the increased taxation. This
will be done for several reasons,
a very important one of which the
reduction in the price of cutters

BIRD REASONING.
The Wonderful Intelligence Exhibited
by Woodpeckers.
A little known and striking in-
stance of foresight industry ex-
by a bird is that of the Cali-
woodpecker. Like others of
its kind, this bird is an insect eater.
Yet in the view of the approach of
winter it prepares a store of food of
a wholly different character and
ranges this with as much care as an
epicure might devote to the storage
of his wine in a cellar. In the summer
the woodpecker lives on ants. For
the winter it stores up acorns. To
hold each acorn it hollows a small
hole in a tree, into which tho acorn
is exactly fitted, and is ready to be
split by the strong beak of the
climbing woodpecker, though too
tightly held to be stolen either by
squirrels or other birds.
A relation of this woodpecker in-
habits the parts of Mexico,
where during the droughts it must
die of starvation unless it made a
store. To prevent this it selects the
hollow stem of a species of aloe, the
bore of which is just large enough to
hold a nut. The woodpecker drills
holes at intervals in the stem and
it from bottom to top with the
nuts, the separate holes being
made for convenience of
access to the column of nuts within.
Tho intelligence which not only
constructs a special storehouse but
teaches the woodpecker to lay
by only the nuts which will keep,
and not the insects which would de-
cay, is perhaps the highest form of
bird reasoning which has yet been
observed. Spectator.

A Three Trip.
A large needle became
in the back of tho left thigh of a
Philadelphia domestic, and in three
days worked itself through five
inches of fleshy tissue. The woman
was sewing on a Thursday morning,
and it was on that day that the
needle, in some strange way, must
have penetrated the back of the
thigh. She felt some slight pain,
but was not seriously inconvenienced
by it. The next day the pain
seemed to shift a trifle, but she did
not pay any particular attention to
it until the following day, when
it became so severe that in the
afternoon she went to the
hospital, where she complained
of a sharp pain in the fore-part of
the thigh. Dr. made an ex-
and found the point of the
needle above the surface He made
a small incision and laid bare enough
of the needle to permit of its being
seized with a pair of tweezers and
pulled out. The needle was black
as ink, having been oxidized by the
action of the blood. The patient
recognized it, by the peculiar way in
which it was bent, as the needle
with which she had been sewing on

DAVID GARRICK.
The Great Actor Romping in the
Garden with a Little Blackamoor.
David Garrick, the great actor,
although he had no children of his
own, was passionately fond of the
little ones. He was never so happy
as when he was romping in the gar-
den with giving them
rides on his broad back or pretend-
to frighten them by acting the
part of a dog or a lion. And never
before were there such ferocious
lions and bears, never were there
such wonderful proud peacocks, as
those he transformed himself into.
Once at a certain rich gentleman's
house, to which the actor had been
invited, the conversation during
dinner time became too dull. The
city merchants fell to talking about
business, and Garrick began to feel
out of place.
So when every one was busy chat-
ting to neighbor he slipped very
quietly out of room, and went
round through the garden to the
back of the house. There he

those days, you know, people were
permitted to keep slaves. Garrick
was pleased, indeed, to see such a
jolly little follow, and not mat-
to him in the least if that boy
was only a little black servant.
Down went his back and up went
his head, with its three-cornered
hat, while his hands behind lifted up
the tails of his long, blue coat. And
the next moment there he was strut-
ting about the yard, the very image
of a dignified old turkey-cock.

proudly behind him.

Garrick's big, round face was
glowing with childish joy as he
stopped in the middle of a loud

horrified countenance of his worthy

have felt to think that he had now

again. Ho could have played turkey-

Bad Air Universal.
A scientific man says that he has
made a discovery. It is that the
worst air is found in two strata, one
near the knows
the other at a height of
about ninety feet. This height rep-
resents the average altitude of the
discharge of gas, smoke and
fumes given off by factories and
other industrial appurtenances of
a city. It has also been found with-
in a few years that one is just as apt
to get malaria if he lives on a dry,
well-drained slope above a marsh or
stagnant water as if he lived in the
marsh.
