Dark the night, the snow is falling ; | Through the storm are voices calling ; Guides mistaken and misleading, Far from home dnd help receding Vain is all those voices say ; Show me thy way:! Blind am I as those that guide me ; Let me feel thee close beside me : Come as light into my being ; Unwo me be eyes, all seeing ; Hear my heart’s one wish, I pray ; Show me thy way! : Son of man, and Lord immortal, Opener of the heavenly portal, In thee all my hope is hidden ; Never yet was soul forbidden Near thee, always near, to stay ; Show me thy way! Thou art truth’s eternal morning ; Led by thee, all evil scorning, Through the paths of pure salvation I shall find thy habitation, ~ Whence I never more shall stray ; Show me thy way! Thou must lead me, and none other, Truest Lover, Friend and Brother, Thou art my soul’s shelter, whether Stars gleam oiit of tempets gather ; In thy presence night is day ; Show me thy way! Railway Speed. Here is what has been accomplished on American railways:— First—A train has been run -four hundred and thirty-nine and a half miles, or ten hours and five minutes, without a stop. Second—Speed at the rate of a hun- dred and two miles an hour has been maintained for five miles. Third—The distance of fifty-eight and three-tenths miles has been made in forty-five and three quarter minues, or an average of seventy-six and a halt miles an hour, twenty.five miles of the distance being run at the rate of eighty- «| three miles an hour. Fourth—A train has been run from New York to Buffalo, tour hundred and thirty-six and a half miles, at the rate of sixty-four and a quarter miles an hour. These records show what is possible ‘lin the. way of high speed and long distance runs. They demonstrate that, so far, at least, a8 locomotives and roll sng stock “are concerned, much faster trains than any now in use are practi- cable, but there remains; the question whether such trains could be employed with safety in many places on existing roadbeds; ‘with their curves, grades, grade crossings, &e. » It is evident, however, that to attain fastest railway travel it is only nec- ‘i M.” lessary to make the same progress in yoad construction as has been ‘achieved in locomotive building... New. York Vw The Biblical Recorder, the organ of the North Carolina Baptists has ¥ |been sold by Mrs, C.;'Ty, Bailey, to Messrs. _Edwards & Broughton, the} J Raleigh » printers. ~The © price paid was $16,000, probably the largest amount ever paid for a newspaper in’ North: Carolina. There will be no change in the editorial manage- ment. Mr, J, W.

A Quicker Schedule Wou!d be a Great Convenience. Reson have stopped allowing the freight trains between Wéldon and Kinston to carry | passengers, they would confera favor on the traveling public by shortening the schedule of the passeriger trains. The present schedule consumes four hours each way between Weldon and Kinston, a distance of 96 miles, which is very slow running, and even then the trains are frequently behind time. The train leaves Kinston so early in the morning and returns go late in the evening as to be very inconvenient, especially at points on fhe Southern section _ of the run. Because of this inconvenience mucli of the local travel has heretofore been on the freight trains. Since the advantage of going on the’ freight trains is now might in a large measure be overcome with a better and quicker schedule for the passenger trains. There is no good reason why so much time should be consumed on a.run of 96 miles. The RerLector believes that with proper equipment— a larger and faster engine for instance—the run each way could be made in three hours or less as easily as it is now made in four. Besides the convenience to travelers, a schedule that would bring the evening train in before night, would, be of mate- rial advantage to all business interests. If Greenville merchants and business men could get their mail by six o’clock Now that the railroad. authorities |- denied the public, the inconvenience } in the evening, instead of at eight o’clock and often later as at present, it would be a great help to them. Such a schedule as is herein suggest- ed would be appreciated by people all |along the line, and we hope the railroad authorities will take it under considera™ tion. ol.
