The monstrosity is in the shape
of a half calf and half human, of
which a cow in Shallotte town-

day, May 31st. The cow belonged
to Mr. William and the
was born on the

For Reflector.
BY MRS. ALICE E.
Forty fears ago I was a young bride.
The of life I had never tried ;
All seemed bright prosperous t
me,
Since then many I have been
brought to see.
As the years rolled on more
I became,
And learned that a great many worked
for fame.
A great and land
But soon were all in great distress.
Our homes that were so and
bright.
Here soon over-run with sorrow and
fright,
sad to return to the old home now,
see so many changes I re
know how.
It seems like a dream that I have
To come back and my all
taken,
And scattered in of this
land.
Which was once a loving little baud.
I have red among strangers who
were kind to me,
May God bless them and keep them from
dangers free,
Although my afflictions for three years
have been great.
I have learned to lie patient and learned
to wad.
Now, my dear children, when this you
see.
Read with care and think of me.
One whose love goes out for you.
Who hag always been to you so true .
The changes here have been so many,
A true friend Is hard to And if there be
any,
The time has come when all must try
To learn the wherefore and why
Tho people of my younger day
Are nearly all in their graves;
In their homes now arrangers
Of the it's .-ail to tell.
I am now at my old home to brood over
the past;
May God work out all g- for me at last.
Now, sixty years of my life have passed
And according lo nature I have but a
short time here to stay.
May God and strengthen my
faith.
Keep me temptations, and give me
grace
That I may pan safely over the river to
the other hide,
h Jesus his angels forever to
abide.
