Everything is beautiful. says B. F.
Taylor, of the Chicago Journal, when
it is little, except souls; little pigs, lit.
tie lambs, little birds, little kittens, lit
tie children.
Little martin-boXes Of homes are
generally the most happy and cosy
Little villages are nearer to being
atoms of shattered paradise, than we
know of. Little fortunes bring the
most content, and little hopes the least
disappointment.
Little words are the sweetest to hear,
and little charities fly farthest, and
stay longest on the wing Little lakes
are the stillest, little hearts the fullest,
and little farms the best titled. Little
books the most read, and little songs
the dearest loved.
And when Nature would make any
thing especially rare and beautiful, she
makes it little-little pearls, little dia-
monds, little dews
Augurs is a model prayer, but then
il is little prayer, and the burden oil
the petition is for little, but the last
dcuication discourse was an hour, The
Roman said, "Veni, vidi, uici,"-I came
saw conquered; but dispatches, now
a,days, are longer than the battles
they tell of.
Everybody calls that little they love
best on earth. We once heard a good
sort Of man speak ofh his little wife, and
we fancied she must be perfect little
bijou of a wife. We saw her, she weigh.

it was no ioke-the man meant it. lie
could put his wife in his heart, and
have room for other things besides; and
what was she but precious, and what
was she but littleH
We rather doubt the stories of great
argosies of gold we sometimes hear of
because Nature deals in Titles, almost
altogether. Life is made up of little
death is what remains of them all; day
is made up of little beams, and night il
glorious with little stars

The SHOOTING STARs.-Tbe year
1888 is memorable for the most mag.
nifcent display OF falling stars on re.
cord 1t took place on the 18th of No
vembcr, and was visible over all the
United States and over a part of Mex.
leo and the West India Islands. To-
gether with the smaller shooting stars.
which fell like snow flakes and pro.
duced phosphoreseent lines along their
course, there were intermingled large
fire.balls, which darted forth at inter.
walls, describing in few seconds an
arc of thirty or forty degrees. These
lett behind luminous trains which re.
mained in view several minutes, and
sometimes half an hour or more. One
of them seen in North Carolina ap.
peared of larger size and greater brill
fancy than the moon. An amusing
story is told OF one venerable sinner,
who rushed out in the open AIR. yelling
like an Indian, when he discovered the
novel phenomenon through the chinks
OF his cabin. He had been walked from
his sleep, and in haste he forgot 10 put
on any additional garments. The one
brief garment he had on was not con.
sidered by bis wife favorable costume

A Good Word from Texas.

We have report from Texas that "a
proclamation has been issued by Gov.
Throckmocton, dated October 9Th,
declaring the proposed amendment to
the Constitution ratified by the peo.
pie OF Texas" and that she reports tho
vote of the State to be 28,119 in favor
of, and 23, 400 against the amendment"
but that the Legislature has rejected it
by vote of sixty-seven to five. The
Galveston Bulletin, in commenting up
on this action, says "the day may come
and that day may bc not tar dis
tant--when the members refusing to
ratify the amendment would be glad to
undo their work, though we are afraid
it will be too late after the discovery is
made, that the South will never get
any better terms than those proposed
in the amendment" ."--Zanespilte COar'

A WELL. KNOWN journalist who wa

A wELL-KNowN journalist who was
formerly Washing ton correspondent,
says that, while there during the war,
he ore day asked Secretary Seward his
opinion of Horace Greeley. "Horaco
Greeley" said Seward, ''is great man
"a man so full Of genius and Of such
power that if he had particle of COM
mon sense we should have 20 hang him.
But he id fool and therefore harm
less" After coming to New York, the
journalist, dining with the editor of
the Tribune. inquired his opinion of
Seward. Seward has brains enough,
was the reply, "to govern this country.
No man has a clearer or better head;
but the trouble with Seward is that he
is an internal scoundrel."

A friend in New Jersey writes:--
"Hon. Thos s. Grimke, of South Caro-
lima, deceased since 1885, was noted,
not only for his rare virtues, command
ing talents, research, and learning, bat
for his nationality of sentiment at q
time and among a people when it al
most involved martyrdom. His speech
in the Senate OF South Carolina in De-
cember, 1928 (prior to tho famous de-
bate which gave Mr.. Webster his de-
served renown), on the resolutions re-
specting the tariff, excels all on the
topic of State Sovereignty except that
Of Mr.. Webster, and is richer in learn
ing than his. And the following ode,
for July 4, 1923, is certainly worthy of
comparison with any produced by its
ennobling subject;
"'Who would sever freedoms shrinel
Who would draw tn invidlous line'
Though, by birth, one spot be mine,
Dear is all the rest
Dear to me the South's fair land,
Dear the central mountain band,
Dear New Engand's rocky strand,
Dear the praried Westi

Mrs. JOHN MoRR1ssEY attended a

was gotten up, according to the local
Jenkins, entirely legardless OF expense.
He says: "The lady was certainly at
tired far in advance of any OF her sex
who were present, and il has been said
that the value of the precious stones
which adorned her person would pur-
chase not only all the dresses worn in
the church, but the edifice and its en-
tire furniture. Mrs. Morrissey wore q
rearl-colored corded silk dress, with
black thread lace founces, over which
was thrown black lace shawl. Her
hair was arranged for full dress, and
upon her head was q silver crown or
wreath, thickly studded with diamond
stars. Upon her neck was coral and
diamond necklace of great Value
Diamond bracelets also encircled her
wrists. Upon her feet were slippers of

Our neighbor of the Sentinel comes for
ward and cries peceaci! Well, we did not
begin personal abuse" We never begin it,
but when forced into it we are not apt to
strike heedlessly or lightly. Onr neighbor
says:
s'Our friends insist that we shall not dis
turb ourself at the personal abuse of the
Standard. We beg them to give themselves
no concern about us. We have no idea of
following in its course If that paper will
cease its attacks upon the loyalty of our peo-
ple-will show itself to be true Union and
North Carolina paper-will cease its coun-
sells to them to " eat more dirt" and assume,
even for the nonce, little generosity, little
magnanimity, towards its own people, we
will agree never to alIude to it unkindly. As
to its attacks upon us, we shall not notice
them. They are beneath our contempt"
It is not at all probable that the Sentinel
and Standard will agree in politics until the
former comes to submit Internationally to
the national authority, as both its Editors
and Gov. Worth did in June, 1865. We
stand just where we did then. We shall not
change. Our views will prevail. and those
of the Sentinel will perish and pass away.

Our amiable neighbor of the Sentinel
would have the world believe that he was
specially "called by Providence from the
pulpit, to engage in worldly affairs. Du-
ring the rebellion our neighbor preached for
the colored people in this City, and he drew
very handsome support from these poor
people. To very great extent they fed and
clothed him. He appeared then to have a
sincere regard for the colored people. He
seemed to think that, as slaves, they had
souls and he knew, from blessed experience,
that they had money. But as soon as the
Union troops reached here, and these slaves
were set free, our neighbor turned up his
oligarchic nose at these same colored peo-
pie, and he has not since "darkened the
door of their church. This brings forcibly
to mind the language of the Saviour him
self, as recorded in the 10th chapter of
John:
81 am the good shepherd: the good
shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
But he that is an hireling, and not the
shepherd, whose own the sheep are not,
seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep,
and fleeth; and the wolf catcheth them, and
scattereth the sheep.
The hireling f1eeth, because he is an hire
ling, and careth not for the sheep"
