The following beautiful verses, writ- ten over forty years ago by the late Hodges Reed, are reprinted from the Boston Transcript : Inte her chamber went A little maid one day, And by a chair she knelt And thus began to pray : “Jesus, iny vyes I close— Thy fori Icanu: t see; If thou «rt near hear me, Lord, I pray thee speak to me.” A still smuil voice she heara within her, soul, “What is it, child? I hear thee—teil Me ali.”’ “I pray Thee, Lord,” she said. ‘That [hou wilt coudescend To tarry i. my heart | And ever be my iriend. The path of life is dark— 1 woula not go astray ; On, let me have Phy hand To lead me iu ihe way.”’ ‘Fear nut—I will not leave thee, child, aloue.”’ She thought she felt a soft hand press her own. ‘“Théy tell me, Lord, that all The living pass away— the aged sv0n must die, And ven childrea may, Oh, let my p:ireuts live Till [ a woman grow ; For # they die, what can A little orphan du? “Fear nut, my-child—whatever ills may Cutlic, Ill not forsake thee till I bring thee home.” . Her li tle prayer was said And frum her chainber, bow, She passed forth, with the light Of heaven upon het brow. “Mother, I’ve seen the Lord— His hand in mie I felt, And, oh, { beard him say, Ax onany chair I knelt, ‘Fear not, my child. whatever ills may ; come. _ 2°) not torsake thee -till home.” i bring thee Rev.

Now that the Town has a fire engiuve, and the tirst step is taken towards the care and safety of the town from fire, the second and most important step should at once be taken by making the water supply sufficient to meet the most stuoborn emergency. This ia my opinion should be done in the best way. andthat way is to make a large reservoir at the west side of the walk bridge going to Forbestown, and one at the bridge going to Skinner- yihe on 4th street, and one in the ravine at the east end of ‘4th - treet, below Dr. Wm. B. Brown's. These iocations are ost within reach of the length of hose, and for the protection af the north part of the town the river will furnish and inexhaustible quantity, and for the protection ofthe Tobaceo Warehvuuses and other property in that section of the town a reservoir could be made buck near the street going by the warehouses. This is the most iuexpensive way to get plenty of water and without water the town has no use for an engine. When this is done and the property owners and citizen generally have solemnly and earnestly made up their minds to work harmoniously aba in full concert of action, be— ing willing to be commanded when a fire 18 on us and will work for the best good of the town, the fire bugs will not be able to do ‘much tuward destroying the town aud property thecein. The fact is very clearly evident that the cost of an engine is a useless waste of money if there is uo water, and in order that this end shall be met the above proposition is in my judgment the best and most eco- vomical expenditure that can posibly be made to get all the B.

Ee Foundation Stone of Success. he The Sener The one great rule of business is that of honesty, absolute and anqualified honesty, writes Kd- ward W. Bok inthe May Zadves’ Home Journal. All the rules of business are worthless if ‘they are not founded on that one and only foundatioa stone to true commer cial success. Honesty is not slone the best policy in business ; it is the one and only policy. Upon it, and upon it alone can a @ good reputation be buiit, and a man in business without a repu- tation for honesty might just as as well stop. Any deviation from the rule of honesty in business may bring temporary gain, but it invariably means permanent loss. Oa the other hand, a strict ad- herence to an honest policy may mean @ temporary loss, but it is sure to result in a permanent gain. — -——— Driving a Bargain. The mean man.

These Three, but the Greatest of - These is Charlotte—Foust, of Salisbury, and Jones, of Roxboro—Only One Escaped. — North Carolina is getting up a reputation on its bank cashiers. Crosa and White, the Raleigh bankers, whose drunken flight towards Canada, and the fright ofthe negro porter whom they carried with them, vested their escapade, serious as it was, with a tingle of humor, stand at the head of the list. At the head, in so far that they opened the-~ ball in this State. They daly served time in the chain gang. Their flight, arrest, trial and conyiction created a great sensation in the State. They donned striped suits and were soon forgotten. Then came the smash of the First National bank of Wilming- ton and the flight of Cashier Bow- don. He didn’t wait for the storm to break, but pat out before the people fully realized what was the matter. It is seid that the money he handles now is worth only 56 cents on dollar, for he is living in Mexico. | The next thing to shaka up the State was the failure of the Bank of New Hanover and its branch banks, but the officers of this in. stitation made the best of a bad situation. The State had $15,000 on Geposit in this bank at the time € the smash, put there by Col. [ate, then State treasurer. Ac. tion is now pending against the directors of the bank to hold them todividually responsible for the loss of the money. The com- plaint charges that the directors , through carelessness and indis cretion brought on the failure of the bank and are therefore re sponsible, and that they had _ se cured the deposit by misrepresenu- tation. Treasurer Worth, suc- eeedinz Col. Tate. is now the plaintiff in the action. Closely following this came the defaication of Cashier Foust, of Salisbury. He embezzled $20,- 000 of the bank’s funds. Rev. J. F. Murdock uncovered him one morning - quite unexpectedly. When Foust saw that Mr. Mur dock meant business, he made a vrab at a package of bilis amount. ing to $1,000 and tried to bolt Si but he was detained in the bank came- He is still serving his term in the State penitentiary, in the capacity of bookkeeper of the penitentiary farm near Weldon. Since the arrest of Foust noth- ing out of the way in banking circles had occurred in the State until the Holland exposure, and tharlotte added to the list the king of all cashiers. And now cemes Roxboro, with its little $18,000 capital stock bank, and its enterprising cashier in jail. His name is Jones and they say he got away with $5,000. “It is be- lieved,” say the published reports ‘that the depositors are not ‘in ‘anger, but the stockholders will lose heavily.”—-Ch arlotte ews.

It is Given a Water Test and Pruves a Success. en The new fire engine which the Boara of Councilinen coutracted for and were to accept in case it came up to what was guaranteed for it, was brought down from the depot Thursday evening and giv- ena thorouzh water test. The first test was urade iu froaut of the Market House, the suction hose being lowered into the well there ‘a stream of water was thrown y the Court House steeple, then placed at the well near Pen der’s store and the hose was run out to ©. T. Munford’s resideuce two blocks away, but the well did not afford sufficient water to inske this test. Then the fire company took the ergiue to the river bridge, placed it near the|- draw, lowered the suction to the river, rion the hose up the hill and on nearly to second street, and from the street threw a stream of water over the Masonic Lodge. This was as severe a test as the engine could well be subjected to, and it did ‘all that could be expected of 1t. We be lieve the engine is a thoroughly good one and if an adequate water supply is now town will be well against fire. The engine will be put to a fire bine feet high. The engine was protected near the Coliege For this pur- pose a rough structure 15 x 20 feet and 15 feet high has been pur up. This house will be filied with combustible material, the whole saturated with oil and fire set to it. Ifthe engine puts this out there will be no room to doubt that it will do everything gaaranteed for it.
