If you luve me, tell me so, While the river’s dreamy flow Holds the love-enchanted hours, Steeped in music, crowned with flow ers ; Ere the summer’s vibrant days Vanish in the opal haze ; Ere is hushed the music flow— If you love me, tell me so. If you love me, tell me so, Let me hear the siveet words low ! Let me now, while life is fair, Feel your kisses on my hair ; While in womanhood’s first bloom, Ere shall come dark days of gloom, In the first fresh dawning glow— It you love me, tell me so. —Lillian Whiting. TIME TO ACT. If Greenville Wants a Quicker Sched- ule the Business Men Should Ask for it. If the people of Greenville want a quick mail service by train, as the Rr- FLECTOR has suggested, they should lose no time in taking action in the mat- ter. Itis very probable the railroad will soon make some changes in.sched- ules to conform to the new schedule on the Washington branch, aad if our peo- pie will express themselves in time a schedule can be secured for this road that will be more convenient to the business interests of the town. We un- derstand that Kinston is manifesting an interest in this movement with the same purpose in view. The RerLector suggests that our business men hold a a meeting as early as possible, decide on what change is desired, have a commit- ‘Itee to confer with the business men of Kinston and see if the same request can |: be sent from both towns to the railroad authorittes. It this is done we believe the railroad will make just such a schedule as will best serve the business On the contrary if no action is taken and conflicting requests should be made the railroad people will be unable to decide what is wanted. Let Greenville get a move on this matter. of these towns, Take a New Census. The Rerzxcror is of the opinion that a new census of the population of It is ce:tain that the last government, cen- gis, 1890, comes far short of doing the town justice and some step shoold be taken to set us right and_let the out- side world know what we have here. Thé government census of 1880 gave Greenville 912 population, and in: 1890 the number reported was 1,937, an_ in- crease of over one hundred per cent. in the ten years. In the five years since that census was completed the popula- tion of the town has increased largely until it is believed there are now: fully 3,000 people here. A new census *lishould be-taken to establish this. $1,250 in Purses.

Eprrok JourRNAL +I see in the Journal gn article headed “Buried opening the grave of Mr. Charles Wooten his coffin: was found bursted open on one side and that his face was turned to the open side, which fact I consider no proof whatever that Mr. Wooten was buried alive. Because in the first place had he been buried alive his strength was not sufficient to have bursted the coffin. 2nd—Oftimes the, gas generated in a coffin from a corpse that is kept out some time is sufficient toblow the coffin sides asunder. JT have seen this done even before interment. As to the body being turned over, that is easy enough to account for. A force of that strength would have. been sufficient to have moved the body some and in its decay it would naturally roll as it was inclined, — I write this because I feel that the article referred to is calculated to — give needless anxiety to friends and much alarm to nervous women, Respectfully, P.

Call the State Convention.” Under the above caption the Asheville Citizen, of Friday, had - adouble-leaded. editorial, as fol- —jows: | The: ‘Cinzen believes that the Democratic State éxecutive com> mittee can do the party no great- er service at this'time than by. is- suing & speedy call for our State conyention. : This need not necessarily mean an early convention, but if the - call.is made, and. the time fixed whether early or late wa _believe| the effect would be @ tendency to: put the party to work, and stop) all bickering aud contention in the ranks. — As soon as the State conven - tion is called, county conventions will begin to be held, and the party spirit begin to rise, and instead of airing our owns differ- ences we will begin to fight the old-time enemy of Democracy, and fusion and bolting delega- tions will be forgotten. — Gentlemen of the State commit: teeyissue:your:call, and soon the he will again be given to the ancient and oft-repeated false- hood thatthe Democratic party is dead, by a rallying of the people all along the lines, and the begin- ning of a campaign that will cul- minate in the re-instatement of North Carolina in the ranks of the Democracy, and the utter and final overthrow of anything re- sembling fusion in this'State. The Citizen’s suggestion is An excellent one. For the reasons it gives, the sooner the State con vention is called the better. As it says, the date for the conven- tion need not be an early one if itis thought wise to make it. late, but the earlier the call is made the eariier the boys will. begin to line up.—Charlotte Observer. A Frank Witness, In Henry county, this State, 3 some years ago, & young woman | who-wae-sning her former sweev: heart}for breach of promise, ‘Was ut on the witness stand, and the awyers, as usual, began making all ports of inquisitive interroga- tories. “You say,” remarked one, “that the defendant frequently eat very close to you ?” a. “Yes, sir,” was the reply, with a hectic flush. “How close ?” “Close enough go's one chair was all the sittin’ room we need-| ed.” : “And you say he put his arm _ areund your waist?” “No, I didn’t,” — “What did you say, then?” “L said he put both arms aroun’ : Min what?’ He hugged me.” “Very. bard?” “Yes, he did.

No matter what storms are raging. No matter how wild the night, The gleam of their swinging lanterns ‘Shines out with a friendly light. And many a shipwrecked sailor Thanks God, with his gasping breath, For the sturdy arms of the coast-guard, That drew him away from death. And sv when the wind is wailing, And the air grows dim with sleet, I think of the fearless watchers Pacing along their beat. I think of a wreck, fast breaking In the surf ofa rocky shore, And the life-boat leaping onward To the stroke of the bending oar. I hear the shouts of the sailors, The boom of the frozen sail, And the creak of the icy halyards Straining against the gale. “Courage !” the captain trumpets, _ *They are sending help from land !” God bless the’men of the coast-guard, And hold their lives'in His hand! —St. Nicholas. wre cempamteysms Verdidt of Not Dead. SACRE Gus Williams, a colored. man who lives near Four Qaks, one evening not long ago drank more liquor'than he could catry and so decided to spend the night in town. He did uot go toa house but stretched himself out on the ground: It was: oneof-the~cold | est nights we have had this win- ter. Next morning he was found stiff and, as every one thought, dead. The matter was reporsed quest was summoned. Bnt when they went to the place where he died he was gone. They followed him up and fognd him ina house drinking coffee. There was no verdict made out but if it had been, it would have been a ver- dict of “not dead. "—Smithfield Herald. Why is it P That the weather turns so cold when youget your fist spring clothes ?

American to-day |] knows more@fithusic than he did 20 years ago and only those who have worked for years under the guidance of the: best master,,feel hke playing for others not. within the innermost circle of ad- miring iffiencs. But, alas! the case seems..to,beequite reversed in singing. How. often. beve we made one of a band of unhappy but smiling victims, forced to listen to some otherwise charming girl)who,after pcrhaps not more than one quarter's lessons, tries to enter- mscioms of hercruelty! A partially ink ! YGice is at times most beauti- ful,..but is: fomentabiy at the meérey of circumstaaces. A slight cold; @ close room; & ‘ittle ne1vousness—what her- rible visions of failure they con jure up! But look atthe experienced artipt.: He is also mortai, but he has learned : cover up little defects; knowa jut what his voice will and will not do, and so makes himself master of the situa- tion. Singing should be. per fectly natural, but we are constantly straining after effect, and trying to make our untu- tored voices perform feats which only years can accoinplish. Some little un- pretentious ballad in gur «mother tongue sung to friends wht ‘enjoy it for the singer's sake as well as the song's, may give ever s6 much pleas- ure; but a German, French or Italian mate skill that the music alone brings upless rendered » with esuch consum- mate skill t hat thé music alone brings out the composer's thought, might much better be played on a violin. By all means study the works of the mas- ters, but do not try to:interpret them for others until you can handle your ;~ voice at wili. Another thing is to keep in mind that a good voice and a correct ear are not the only necessary attri- butes of the successful singer. Schu- mann says: “The most important e | thing for a musician is to cuitivate bis. inner sense”—-that indescribable some: thing which cympels others to feel what you fee]. The artist: must have it, or who will buy his bits of canvas and patches of color? The writer must have it or who will wade through his effusions? The speaker must have it, or his audience will bc gathering the fleecy coats from the occupants of far distant pastures instead of his gems of thought, |The: pianist must-have it, or his mosi¢ will simply act as a stimulus to conversation. Alas, then; for the singer who has it not! He may as well use a speaking trumpet to address his hearers or turn.the crank of a phono- graph. When you tingle all over with)! the feeling: of the song, are swayed by it, lifted out of yourself—then-end not until then, are you singing.
