TEL. ME YE WINGED WINDE.
CHARLES MACKAY.
Tel! me, ye winged winds,
That round my pathway rvar,.
Do ve not know some spot
Where mortals weep no more? .
Some lone and pleasant dell,
Some valley in the west,
Where free from toil and pain,
The weary soul may rest ?
The loud wind dwindled to a whisper
low,
And sighed for pity as it answered
oNo.�
Tell me, thou mighty deep,
Whose billows ~round me play,
Knowest thou some favored spot,,
Some island far away,
Where weary man may find
The bliss tor which he sighs"
Where sorrow never lives,
And friendship never dies ?
TLe loud waves, rolling in perpetual
flow,
Stopped for awhile, and sighed to
answer oNo.�
And thou, serenest moon,
That with such lovely face,
Dost look, upon the earth,
Asleep in nightTs embrace
Tdll me in all thy round
Has not thou seen some spot
Where miserable man
May find a happier lot!
Behinda cloud the moon withdrew in
woe,
And voice sweet, but sad, responded
oNO.�
Tell me, my secret soul,
Oh ! tell me, Hope and Faith,
Is there no resting place -
From sorrow, sinand death ?
Is there no happy spot
Where mortals may be blest,
Where grief may find a balm,
And weariness a rest ?
Faith, Hope and Love, best boons to
mortals given,
Waved their bright wings, and whisper-
ed, oYes, in Heaven.�
The Horseless Carriage.
In fact, it is so thoroughly accepted
that the horseless carriage has come to
stay, that scores of manufacturers are
already engaged in turning out these
machines of many and varied types.
Their first use will of course come in
the cities where there are good roads,
and for such purposes as light expres-
sage. ~The great value of the horselegs
carriage, as compared with the old
style, is its far greater cheapness. The
use of horses in our cities, for instance,
is practically forbidden to all except the
rich. But a team fed with oil or naph-
tha, at a cost of a few cents a day, will
perhaps eventually place a barouche
for afternoon rides iu Central Park
within the reach ot any bookkeeper or
clerk. When a man earning $2,000. a
year in New York city can maintain an
| equipage whitch will trandle him twen-
ty miles away from his flat in an hour,
~a whole new class of citizens will be-
come victims to the tennis, baseball, or
golf habit from which they are now
sheltered by thé mere inertia of* time
and: space to be overcome. And with
each advaice in the art of movirg rap-
idly there will be a corresponding in-
erease in out-of-door sports, and a better
opportunity to reach the fields and the
woods in the short vacations allowed by
the hurrying business struggles of tu-
day"From oThe oWorld's Sporting
Impulse,� by Charles D. Lanier, in Re-
view of Reviews for July.

A gentleman of undoubted varacity

a snake and eel. The snake was a
bull moceasin about six feet long ana
two and a half inches in diameter.
The eel was a common yellow one, but
ot uncommon size. When first seen
the two slick combatants were in shal-
low water, each standing erect with
tails tvisted round roots. The snake
had evidently attempted to swallow its
smaller opponent but had found him a
slippery and wiry foe. They soon

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.
| cememnenemnnell
The reports of correspondents of the
Weekly Crop Bulletin, issued by the
North Carolina Climate and Crop Ser-
vice, for the week ending Saturday,
June 27th, 1896, indicate that the past
week has been quite favorable for the
growth of crops. The temperature was
aove the normal from two to six de-
| grees per day ; rains were frequent and
onld excessive in a few counties, and
there was more sunshine than last
week. Cotton is blooming quite freely
and this indicates an advanced condi-
tion of this crop which promises a fine
yield. Corn continues excellent. The
curing of tybacco has begun on a small
scale. On the whole, except in those
T counties where damage by excessive
rains, the general crop outlook is very
favorable, except with regard to fruit.
. EASTERN DISTRICT.
The past week on the whole was
very favorable, except ina few localities,
and all crops made rapid growth, The
temperature was high, with rain on all
except two days of the week, but with
more sunshine than last week. It was
too wet in Wayne, Greene sand Pitt
counties, and the ground continues
soaked in Gates and Northampton.
Cotton has improved and is blooming
freely, and lice are disappearing to
some extent. Corn fine and nearly all
laid by, except in north. ~Tobaceo cur-
ing has been commenced by some farm-
ets. Sweet potatoes continue very fine ;
vines nearly covering the ground.
Some report of grapes rotting. Water-
_ melons ripening and coming into mar-

A warm week with frequent rains fa-
-yored the growth of crops, except where
excessive precipitation washed land and
ohindered farm ~ work, ag occurred in

counties, in which section crops are very
ograssy. Cotton is blooming freely,-

plaints of cottcn becoming too weedy.
Corn is being laid by as fast as the

ONE MARK OF DISTINCTION.
BY MARY DWINELL CHELLIS.
ee _&
oAll aboard!� shouted the conduc-
tor; the signal for starting was given,
and the long train moved slowly out
from the depot.
At the ~last moment a young man
sprang upon the platform of a car and,
entering, looked around for a seat. He
was notone to attract attenuon,
yet he evidently considered himself ne
conseqoence. I watched him, that I
might learn, it possible, the secret of his
self catiefaction. Surely, no sane person
could regard his small head, expression-
less face, discolored teeth, and yellow
moustache as worthy of admiration ;
neither could the sight of his coarse,
rough hands inspire him with vanity.
Yet there was no mistaking the fact
that he was vain. Directly I saw that
he was occupied with business which
ssemed to him of importance ; and"
The secret was
out. He could chew tobacco and ex-
pectorate, as if to the manner dorn.
It was not much of which to be
proud; and the accomplishment cer:
tainly did not improve his personal ap-
pearance. But itmay have cost him
many an hour of nausea and unrest_
many a hardly earned dollar, and some,
thing of intellectual force. He had
paid the price. Why should he not
enjoy the consciousness of possession !
I turned from him with disgust; yet
I know that thousands of boys through-
out the length and breadth of our land
are making daily sacrifices, that they
may, in the years to come, claim at least
this one mark of ~distinction"the abi]-
ity to chew tobacco.
I hope none of the readers of the
Banner willthus sacrifice themselves.
DonTt do it, boys. There is something
better for you. You know there is.
You have clear heads and brave hearts ;
and, if you will it thus, you may be
counted among the truest, noblest,
grandest men of the age"The Banner.
If the average traveler only feared
wine or brandy as he does water, it
would be a great gain to the cause of
temperance. No matter what part of
the world he is in, he seems to have an
idea that the only really dangerous
~drink in that vicinity is the water. If
an American travels in Europe, he is
commonly told by his fellow-travelers
that the water there is very bad; it is
quite unsafe to drink it ;he had better
take wine or brandy as a beverage. If
the European travels in America, he
learns the same thing about water here.
A New Englander ~going west or south
is warned against the water of that: re-
gion. He must take strong drinks, or
die. Nothing in New England, on the
other hand, so perils a Western or
Southern manTs life as pure spring wa-
ter.
Green apples, wiltered cucumbers,
baked beans are innocuous ; but any-
thing which will bring the odrunk� is
the safest thing in the world for the
man or woman of delicate constitution !
During the Centennial year, visitors to
Philadelphia were made to underrtand
that the water of the Schuylkill was
not safe to drirk. More recently, in
Chicago, at the Columbian Exposition,
visitors were similarly taught to dread
the water ot Lake Michigan. In both
places it was deemed necessary to take
freely of beer, or wine, or at least to
water. Occasionally cne of the visi-
tors hand satistuctocy evidence, feom his

: i -| the exhibits, drinking several glasses of

chicken and ice cream, he had @ sense
of faintness with twinges of pain, which
he was satisfied, was the result of his un-
wisely drinking « glass of water of the
region. He oought to have known
better.� He owouidnTt try it again.�
He would thence-forward stick to the
| trastworthy beer or brandy. If Solo-
mon had only said, oLook not upon
cold water when you can get anything
stronger to drink,� owhat a lot of fol-
lowers he would have had !
