lcCut1ts was not UtSuppo1utS0s t0AH4 them about C miles from the town, in the
 grounds annually cvernowed hy the waters of tho lake, where the coarse grass $ twice
 the height of man they seemed tO cove CT the face of the country, and I should
 think, exceeded the number expected Co
 sec. When the waters flow over these
 their pasturages, they are forced by hunger
 to approach the towns, and spread devasta-
 tion throughout their march; whole plan

 Presentnsent in .faUOr of SabLath Schools.
 The undersigned, the Grand Jury for the eounty of Wake, North Carolina May 10th, 1926, having discharged the orr dinary duties devolving upon them, cannot separate before they present to their fellow citizens, for their support and encourage ment, the system of Sunday School in- struction, which is about to be tendered to the inhabitants of our county.
 Itoft becomes the painful duty of Grand Jurors, as guardians of the peace of the country, to present for the aninadversion of the court, those who have offended a. gainst the laws of the country-and this for the purpose of suppressing vice and encouraging virtue. Among those who have thus become subjects for punishment, the largest portion will be found to consist of youth broughtu in ignorance, and train ed up in immortality ]; youth, whose early education has been entirely overlooked, and whose habits have been utterly negIec- ted. The design of Sunday Schools is to remedy this great and growing evil. They have for their object the grataitous instruc- ton of the young and ignorant-the chil- dren of the indigent, as well as of the veal thy, so that they may read for themselves, and thus be better able to understand those great truths, the knowledge and practice of which minister to mans present welfare and future eternal peace. 3
 '. The publications of the present day as- sure us of fact which should be deeply impressed on every parents heart, and awaken the interest of every lover of his country. It is this-among the thousands of children and youth taught in the nume- rous Sunday Schools in our own and in other countries, few, if any, have ever been arraigned before court of justice for crime especially for crimes of any magnitude. This single fact speaks volumes in favor of that system, which to us. appears so emi- nently calculated to difuse throughout the community at large, those virtuous princi- ples and habits which have ever been found the safeguard of republican institutions Under these impressions they do earnestly recommend to their fellow citizens of the county to encourage and cherish these in- stitutions and to aid by their influence those who may be engaged in this useful and laudable work. And they earnestly hope, that by these means, the tifne may soon come, when the children and youth of every neighbourhood shall be taught to read, and their daily habits become such as to present to our country the promise of better generation than she has hitherto witt messed. -Raleigh Reg.

His tranquility of mind was destroyed ; ltho native kindness of his temper vanish
 cd and deep despair, and all tho bitter ness of temper that springs from the wreck of pence, filled his mind. His house was turned into place of mourning. And a broken hearted wife, and neglected chil-
 tlren filled up dlc melancholy picture oI the druHkard's home.
 His tineestate fell ntorein like his mind ; heavy claims were raised against him in various quarters; many were supposed to be of doubtful character but there arc midday splunderers always ready to take advantage of misfortune as we'll as mid- night robbers, who trespass on the lonely traveller. A few years were sufficient to wrap his concerns in inexplicable chaos, out of which nothing wasseyer extricated for bis benefit.
 The innocent partners in his fall, were spared, however, the worst trial; fatal fever invaded the settlement, and Julia Churchill, and her three children were a. nong its victims. They were all buried together in a retired corner of the church. yard. It was on a beautiful day, ,and Charles stood, almost a maniac by the graves of his tI1CEC was d 1dSA OAe AIAS early power playing then upon his brow. remember when the coffins were lowered down, and he took last look at all-0H that he had lost 1; he turned and pointed to the spot" My last staff," said he, ]" is broken; the social glass has cursed me; I am miserable man..
 But the glass was again in his hand that night. He flew to it now as an antidote to memory and conscience. All went. He no longer raised hand to stay the wreck, of his estate, and his creditors like hungry wolves felluponit; itfailed to satisfy them 1; he was imprisoned and when he came back to the village, he had lost all but the image of humanity. Such is the termina- ton of a career upon which thousands reck- lessly enter; needless of danger careless of consequences.
 Iwould have this simple tale speak then as voice from the grave of early genius, from the wreck of fortune from the ruins of peace, and worth, and yirtue-I would have it address itself to all ages, and ranks, and conditions-Its lessonis brief, is inter- esting, is important-Hear it reader l" Re- Charles Churchill, and beware of the Social Glass; There $ danger in in- dulgence.-I Iremtom Emporium.
