Vecemper 13, 1897. Ae A NCCE i. Dumas to Young Men ties Dumas’ advice to young men reads as follows: “Walk two hours every day; sleep seven ‘hours every night; go to bed alone when you wish to sleep ; work a8 Foon as you rise; never eat unless you are hungry ; never drink unless you are thirsty, and always slowly. Never speak unless it is necessary, and then| aay only half you think. Write only what you can sign. Doonly what you can tell of. ‘Never for- get others count on you. but you must never’ count on them. Esteem money for neither more nor less than it is worth ; it i8 a good servant, but a bad master. Keep awav from women until you are 20 years old. Give them up whea you are 40. Dont create without recognizing the respou- aibility, and destroy as little as possible Forgive eyerybody in advance; it is more sure. Neither hate nor despise men, and do mot laugh at them; pity them. Think ot death every morning when you see the light, and every evening when you go inte the Shadow. When you suffer very much look your grief in the face ; it alone can console you and it will teach you much. Learn sim- plicity,and how to be usefui, and how to remain free, and wait to deny God until He has proven to the world He does not exist. Glory for glory is a shameful speculation. Men proud of their celebrity are ignorant. Men vain of their genius are fools.” Charity ot Speech. -— ~% This is beautifully said: Charity of sveech 13 as divine a thing as charity of action. To judge no one harshly, to miscon- ceive no man’s motives, to believe things are as they seem to be until they are proved otherwise, to temper judgment with mercy— surely this is quite as good as fo build up churches, establish asylums and fourd colleges. Wnkind words do as much harm as unkind deeds. Many a heart has been wounded beyond cure, mapy a reputation has been stabbed to death by a few little woids. There is acharity which consists 1n withholding words, in keeping tack harsh judgments. in abstaining from speech if to speak is to condemn. Such sharity hears the tale of slander, put does not repeat it; listens in silence, but forbears comment; then locks the unpleasant secret up in the very depths of the heart. Silence can still rumor: it is speech that keeps a story alive and lends it vigor.-~Henderson Gold Leat. * Cultivate Less and Cultivate it Better. fhe intensive system of farm- ing is the thing, and our farmers must come to it sooner or later Cultivate fewer acres, manure the | ed Write plainly] |the charges made against him as or more on half the quantity of land with less rest for :abor. Here is an example, and others are not lacking. The Goldsboro Arets says: * A farmer told as the other day that instead of putting a twelve acre lot in cotton he took the same quantity of m:nure and ap~ plied it to six acres of the same land, From the twelve acres he bas been in the habit of getting cix bales of cotton; this year be has picked six bales of cotton from the six acres, This is ao oLject lesson for all who till the soil. THE COUNTRY PRESS. Speaking on the above subject, ¥. W. Crooker, editor of the Baintree, (Mass.) Obsoryer, re- tently said: Tho local papers are the mir- rors of a town, and their editors are expected “to rejoice with them that rejoice and to weep with them that weep.” They must sit in the bald-head- ed row at all entertainments, and every story must be told right side out. They are in sympathy with every movement tending to bene- fitthe public and with due re- spect to our churches and cur gchools I will sav that the press possesses the greatest power for good of any institution in &@ com- munity. A minister preaches to an audience of from 100 to 400 and gets-—say $1,500 per year. The editor prints hfs sermo™s, | aod columns of matter upon the topies ot the dar, reaching from 1.000 to 4,000 people every week and what does he get? He gets aliving avd perhaps 6 cursing from the man whese name hap- peus to be spelled wrong. The doctor presides at a birth and charges $10. The minister performs marriage ceremony el of beans to a handsome fee. The undertaker proyides a man with his last suit ot clothes and charges a post mortem price ; but the editor, who keeps a care- fa} record of all that happens from the cradle to the grave, and then writes a@ grand obituary, gets nothing. He does not even have a chance to kiss the bride. Itisnot my proyince at this time te state what constitutes a good local paper, but the editor that understands his business finds it as hard to tell what to leave out as what to print. His paper must be a faithful exponent of facts and he must, with great care, present the good and tae evil. The paper that does this must have the hearty co-operation of the people, or die. The people have much to do with the success of the home paper, aod the commanity is known by the kind of paper it supports. When the Press, Pulpit and Peop’e work together, the best results are obtained. The local papers are all work- ing for good schools, good roads, honest government, high morals and low taxes. Whatever support the papers get they give out a hundred times more than they receive, and every citizen, whether he reads the papers are not, is getting some benefit from the press. cmmemenimamemcnnc ns namie! Butler Writhes in Vain. Senator Butler has densed, or made pretence of denying, (for it isn’t a denial in fact), the truth of to certain slanderous utterances in his Rocky Mount sveech. .He and gots anythivg—from a bush-|_ language should be attributed to him. It-may be incidentally ob- served that his indignation was pot aroused until he saw that $xtract from the Rocky Mount paper copied by other papers, with such comments as it suggest ed, Butit wouldn't be such a remarkable utterance tor Mr. Butler after all, for he had pre- viously said substantially the same thing in his Caucasian, the difference being that what he wrote then was written with thought and deliberation, and what he said at Rocky Mount might have been uttered in warmth and without due deliber- ation. ‘he editor of the Windsor Urient, who referred to the file of of the Caucasion, found the fol- lowing in the issue of September 30th, about two weeks before the Rocky Mount speech was deliy- ered : | “This awful crime of repe the condemnation ot which should be prompted by sincere motives and honest purposes is used in a hypocritical mauner * * * for base and partisap ends, and all the time they are condemaing the nature of the crime they are secretly longing for more rapes that they may better play upon the prejudices of the peoole.” Insert the word “hire” in this and it wou!d fit the Rocky Mount case to a dot. Cf course the persons he had in mind when he wrote as “secretly longing for more rapes that they may better play upon the prejudices of the people” were Democrats, and consequently there is nc need to ipsert “Democrats.” But per- haps Senator Butler may wiggle out of this by saving that it wasn’ “Senator” Butler who wrote that but “Editor” Butler, as it wasn’t “Senator” Butler but “Editor” Butler who carried his peckets full of free passes on the railroads. Under the circum- stances, in the presence of the above extract, that would be about as gocd a defense as any be has made.—Wilmington Star. Support the Local Industries The real is fact the property owner is the most dependent citi- zen of a community. This of course applies strictly to the property owner who has property to sell or rent. The laboring man can leaye a place withont a day’s notice, but the property owner cannot bundle ap his effects and leave land and houses to take care of themselves. Therefore the greater the pros- perity of a commuaulty, the great- ar the independence of the prop- erty owner, and as the business welfare and the commercial in- terests of a community Cecrease, so must ths property owner’s independence. As the depen- dence upen the trade interests of values, the greater necessity of the property owner giving his direct support to everything which sha!! increase trade and build up his city.—Newbern Journal. “ — THE GREAT HUXLEY What Huxley, the Great.
