ted very much from year to year, while the dividends
have advanced from six to eight per cent The average

We should like to see the newspaper that
would suit every body; it would be curios-
ty. Such a thing never did, nor never can,
have place among the things of the earth,
yet thousands are astonished that the paper to
which they are subscribers does not contain
just such articles as they like TO read best
One expects moral essays; another love tales
and miscellany; another mirth and anecdotes:
another looks for sermon while all onder
that their particular taste is not suited--never
for moment supposing that an editor caters
for the mental appetites of thousands.

from the Home Journal,

An old man sat by freless hearth,
Though the night was dark and chill,
And mournfully over the frozen earth
The wind sobbed low and shrifl;
his locks were white. and his eyes were gray
And dim. hut not with years,
And his skeleton form had wasted away
WIN Penury more than years.
rushlicht was casting its ftful glars
Ger the damp and dingy walls,
Where the lizard hath made his shiny lair,
And the venemous spider crawls;
But the meanest thing in this loathsome room
Was the miser all worn and bare,
Where he sat like ghost in an empty tomb,
On his broken and only chair.
He had oolted the window and baird the door,
And every nook he had scanned,
And felt the Strings DER and DEF
With his cold and skinny hand,
And yet he sat gazing intenIy around
And trembed with silent fear,
And startled and shuddered at every sound
That fell on his coward ear.
+" Ha! ha laughed the miser-I am safe at last
From this night so cold and drear.
FIom the drenching rain and driving blast,
With my gold and treasures here.
And my health is bad, It's true,
Yet if should light that fire again
1t would cost me cent or two.
" But I'll take sip of this precious wine,
1t will Danish my cold and fears
1t was given long since by friend of mine,
have kept it for many years.
So he drew flask from mouldY mock
And drank of its ruby tide,
And his eye grew bright with each draught he took,
And his bosom swelled with pride.
" Let rnc see-let me Sec" said the miser then,
"'Tis some sixty years or more
Since the happy hour when began
TO heap up the giitterng store;
And well haveI sped with my anxious toll,
As my crowded chest will show;
I've more than would ransom Kingdoms spoil,
Or an emperor could besiow.
From the orient realms have rubies bright,
And gold from the famed Peru;
I've diamonds would shame the stars of nights
And pearls like the morning dew;
And more III have, ere the morrow's sun
! His rays from the west shall fling:
That widow, TO free her prison'd sons
Shall bring me her bridal.ring"
He turned to an old worm-eaten chest
And cautiously raised the lid,
And then it shone like the clouds of the West,
With the Sun in their splendor hid,
And gem after gem of its precious store
Are raised with exulting smile,
And he counted and counted them DER and o'erJ
In many glittering pile.
Why comes the flush to his pallid brow,
| While his eyes like his diamonds shine!
Why writhes he thus in such torture now !
What was there in the wine
His lonely seat he strove to regain
| To crawl to his nest he tried
But finding his efforts were all in vain,
| He clasped his gold and-died

The common fluency of speech in many
men and most women, is owing TO scarcity
of matter and scarcity of words, 1of whoever
is a master of language and hath mind fuii
of ideas, will be apt, IN speaking 10 hesitate
upon the choice OF both' whereas common
speakers have only one set OF ideas, and one
set of words to clothe them in, and these are
always ready at the mouth. So people come
faster out of church when it is almost empty
than when a crowd is at the door.

strength and vividness of personal convic-
ton.
In what other nation has honest ambition
so wide range, and merit so certain and so
brilliant reward Where else, in the civil
Zed world, can vrtuous education be so sure
ly obtained, and lead TO results of such tran
scendant worth !?
A distinguished illustration OF this truth we
have present in our own companionshp to-
day. The youth, whom some OF us remember
as student of Chapel Hill in the class of
1918, whose feeble health had threatened to
quench his ardent thirst of knowledge, returns
10 US now, the occupant of the highest politi-
cal station which is known on earth. We re-
cognlse here no distinctions of artificial rank !;
no claims of lineage no assumptions OF wealth;
but we acknowledge that the honors confer
red upon our brother-in-Ieters are reflected
back upon our University and ourselves, and
we recognise them as the fruit of wise instruc-
ton, and as incentives to efforts III others, to
whom opportunities are offered, more favora-
bic, even, than were his. We greet him on
this suspicious occasion, not alone as the Chief
Magistrate of the Republic, but in more
near and friendly relation, as our ancient as
socate in study, and a graduate, with US, of
| the same honored institution Here, where in
the bright morning of life he laid, in virtue,
in industry, and in science, the deep founda-
tons of his subsequent success, be comes
back with US, to pay the sincere homage OF
| gratitude for those early privileges to which
he owes so much, and which he can now,
more than ever, value as they deserve. In his
recollection, as in the memory of us all, this
ancient place yet glows with its old attrac-
tons, and our affections fondly turn to it, amid
the wanderngs Of earth, with something oil
youthful ardor, as well as of flial respect

Irish ray Of putting Horse into a Va

in cultivating his grounds, ordered one OF his
men to put his horse into the wagon. After
short absence, Pat returned, exclalming,
Sc I've got him in. sir, but 1t was mighty
hard job though % This answer somewhat
puzzled the gentleman, who, upon going into
the yard, found his horse actually standing
up in the wagon, trembling with fear at ms
elevated and unsafe position. After getting
the horse down upon terra frma, the gentle
man instructed Pat as TO the proper manner OF
:. uniting horse into wagon Journal.
