CHRISTMAS EVE. EUGENE FIELD. Oh, hush thee, little Dear-my Soul. The evening shades are falling— | Hush-thee, my dear; dost thou not hear The ‘voice of the Master calling ? a Deep lies the snow upon the earth, But all the sky-is ringing With joyous song, and all night long ~The stars:shall dance with singing. Oh, hush thee, little Dear-my Soul, And close thine eyes in dreaming, And angels fair shall lead thee where The shining stars are beaming. A shepherd calls his little lambs And he longeth to caress them ; He bids them rest upon his breast That his tender love may bless them. So, hush thee, little Dear-my Soul, Whilst evening ‘shades are falling, And above the song of the Heavenly throng Thou shalt hear the Master calling. ’ CHRISTMAS DONT’S.

And as he pressed her slender waist, The band played “Fairly In It.” Above-the heavens were all aglow, Bright stars the sky adorning, He kissed her dlips—the band struck up, “I Won’t Go‘ Home Till Morning.” Says she : bills, “Ill never want to die.” His face grew .pale—the street band played, “You'll Wink the Other Eye.” Orange ( Va.)

It is but proper after the toils of a year of struggle, af- ter ‘the separations of twelve long months, after the weary watchings of ~ of so many long eventless nights, that we should cease from our toils, meet each other ‘face to face and family with family, and leave our cares undis. _ turbed, and think, and be and do only for each other’s happiness. « Bo one and to all we say a. happy, : joyous Christmas, with the solacing “yemembrance when it is past that _ somebody has been made happier, some “life brighter by some little act of our PWO GK ot Soba td The “Graveyard ’ insurance _ of Beaufort, which have been on trial in Jones county for the past two weeks Cases, have been concluded. There was a verdict of guilty in every case that the state undertook to convict in. In pro- : nouncing sentence upen those convicts Judge Graham said : “If the evidence in these cases be true, the most stupendous crime ever committed in North Carolina has been unearthed. I suppose there is nobody that had any conception of the degree to which this rascality had gone, I tan see how people could be drawn -jnto this nefarious business of procur- ing or buying these policies upon these dying people and people who were: ikely to die, but few could be innocent. th order to procure these policies, for- gery, false pretences .and conspiracy were all committed.

' “It has been proven that these men, den D- Delamar were agents duing this | @ fraudulent, business; that Dr. T. B. "| Delamar was their medical examiner; at! that David Parker and William Fisher were their henchmen and went out and got the names of those people who were in the last stages of nen, as der, as one of the witness said, “they might make a little quick money.” “In the case of C. R. Hassell, if the evidence is to be believed he is the arch eonspirator of the whole lot. He seems tu have been engaged in this business for years, and his success for go into it. Then Noe took it up and after pnrsuing it for a year he takes the Delemars in with him. They are all induced by the success with which he has met to engage in this disreytt table business. “Then Bill Fisher comes in and and others, and David Parker also ap- pears as un agent and one of the con- spirators. Their particular conspiracy wus to defraud in probably 25. cases by the use of the names of a large number of people who were in the last stages of disease, many of whom were pro-, *uced before the jury-by the State. So without going into the details I repeat this is the most stupendous crime that has been committed in our State within my knowledge.

The rest of the defendants will giv® bond in the sum of $1,000 each. .
