a little longer hurrying and worrying
through the world, some hesty greet
ing, abrupt farewells, and our friends
may miss us, and our enemies nc
longer scorn us. It.is not when our
hearts are light and free, and all
seems to move on pleasantly, and
our souls are filled with music and
sweet sounds, that we need true
friends. But when the hcatt is crush
ed by some great earthly affliction,
and life seems to have no silvery lin.
ing, then we all need the sympathy
of true friends. Hoy Qftep then are
we reminded there is nothing true but
Heaven. Though earthly friends are
dear and their sympathy sweet, yet
there is one above the starry heavens
who has promised never TO forsake.
Now, Mr.. Editor, we find our sub.
ject increasing rather than lessening
as we write, and fearing that we wea-
,ry your many readers, and cause
them to think this an ALMOST friend
less world, we drop the curtain.

A Beautiful Sentiment.


Tho following strikingly 4truthfql
and beautifully exprcssc;: sentiment
was given by Senator Hill in his un-
answara5ie specch made in the Sem
ate III reply to an attack upon hip
and the people Of the South by Sena-
tor Blaine:
"N1r. President, we are told that
when God created the heavens and
the earth, on tue third day He said,
Let the earth bring forth grass, the
herb yielding seed and the fruit tree
yielding fruit after his kind, whose
seed is in itself, upon tile earth and
it was so.' From that day to this 1t
has been so. Yet all these seeds
be sowu in their season and in the
climate adapted to their nature, else
they will perish. But, sir, there is Q
seed which Yiu bear fruit in all sea-
sons and in every cline under the
heavens. Plant it in the cold where
the SHOWS never Inelt, or in the heat
where the frosts never come scatter
it on the naked rocks or in the most
fertile soili drop it in the water or on
the land and everywhere, and every
seed will germinate and grow and re-
ward the sower. 1t is titled by o
hand that never tires: it is watched
by an eye that never sleeps it is
trained by a power that tenpers all
the elements 70 its healthiest MATURE
ty. The seed, sir. is kindness, and /
have garnered its fruits when and
where they were Least expected. Will!
leaders Of a great party, will menu
bers who aspire to hold in their
hands the destinies of millions living
land of many millions yet to live
4 never leatll that abuse and sla1aer
and caldiny and misrepresentation
are not the means which wise orgood
men employ to give peace to coun-
try or prosperity to people, or sta,
bility to a government? Will the
people themselves at the North nevcs
learn that brawling treason and
'traitors' at men for honest differ.

proves nothing except that the brawl-.

A Fire OF Love,
T4X PAYER.

About three years ago the OJserve7'
reported the case Of citizen Of this
county who, having married in 1843,
lighted fire on his hearthstonc as
soon as he carried his bride to his
new home, and had kept it burning
ever since. The citizen was in town
last week, and being questioned about
the matter, stated that the fire was
still burning, and that throughout all
these thirty-six years it had never
been allowed to 20 out. Questioned
as TO whether or not it made the
house uncomfor.ably hot in torrid
weather, he said the extra heat thus
generated was not perceptible. In
reply to another question, he said
that in summer weather, when it was
necessary for comforts sake to keep
the fire burning very low, lie had got
up frequently to replenish it slightly,
but he counted this as nothing when
he contemplated the idea of that fire
going out. He has evidently formed
for it a strong attachment, and yet
one would not take him for senti.
mental man. But this fire is TO him
q constant reminder OF the day when
lie first brought home his bride
Aroand it his children have grown
up into manhood and womanhood
and their children have 'gazed into its
light. Its was the last light that fell
upon the eyes of his wife, he hopes
that it will be the last that will fal
his. :.
Viewed thus, his sentiment in the
matter can be understood, and &C
strong is this sentiment that with the
old man it amounts almost~to o pas

Queen of All.
triots p

Honor the dear old mother. Time,
has scattered the snowy flakes on her
brow, plowed deep furrows on her
cheek, but is she not sweet and beau
tifnl row? The lips are thin and
shrunken, but those arc the lips
which have kissed many hot tear
from the childish cheeks, and they
are sweetest lips in all the
world. The eye is dim, vet it glows
with the soft radiance Of holy love
which can never fade. Ah, yet,
she is dear old mother. The sands
of life are nearly run out, but feeble
as she is, will go further and reach
down lower for you than any other
upon earth. You cannot walk Into
midnight where she cannot sec you
you cannot enter prison whose bars
will keep her out; you can never
mount soaGold too high for her to
reach that she may kiss and bless
you in evidence Of her deatllless Ieve.
When the world shall despise and
forsako you, when it leaves you by
the wayside to die pnnoticed, the
dear old mother will gather yoa in
her feeble arms and carry you home
and tell you Of all your virtues until
you almost forget that your soul is
disfgured by vice. Love her tender
ly, and cheer her declining years
with holy devotion.

Notes from Elizabeth.

Editor Oronge6urg Democrat:
A~line or two from West Elizabeth
l trust may be acceptable to your. col
umns. We have had fine rains lately
and QRr crop prospects are pretty
good; this, With the blessing Of
health, makes us generally happy.
Just now revival meetings and schools
interest our people. A protracted
meeting at Salem Baptist Church has
just closed with thirteen additions,
the meeting having been conducted
by Revs. VIM. MACK, A. Amakcr, j.
N. Jeffcoat and DR.. I. ,. Durham.
We have splendid school Of near.
ly eighty scholars at Salem Academy,
two miles from Wits Mills, with
Prof. Boynton O'Brien, one of the
most accomplished and successful
teachers in the State, as its principal.
Here, instruction in everything from
the alphabet to q preparation for col
lege is impaired.
But we are anxious TO know some
thing more about the manner in
which our public schools are to be
managed and arranged. 1t is time for
our worthy School Gommiasioner to
first inspect or rather Investigate and
then rise and explain. We all know
how difficult it is for school trustee
TO please all, but here we have q case
80 palpably unfair as only to require
a mere mention TO make it plain to
any impartial observer. IT is this ,
Our trustees have located two white
schools, one at Scrth's, with. Mrs.
De-. as teaqcher, !. another at Penn
Branch. NoY the writer aisclaims
!anS Sntentiono ot ref tlsfSss
'estimable ladies, ut the facts are
that the people about Salem could at
any time raise free school Of more
than fifty scholars, with q teacher
equal to any, yet the trustees fatty
refused to give rs school, and with
out any reasonable excuse whatey-
er they grant 2 school in two miles
OF us with only about twenty scholars,
nearly all Of whom could and would
willingly attend the school at Salem.
Now if fairness and justice were the
watchwords and The rule of granting
these schools where tie greatest num-
her can be benefited, then it is pain
that VIC would be allowed public
SCHOOL: If our public schools are to
to be rulpd by men Of selfish motives
who seek to provide for their families
such as wives and brpthers-in-law,
and 70 ignore the just wishes of the
people then away with q school tax
and so called public schools.

Recognition of Labor.


The following eloquent essay upon
labor is taken from q commercial pa
per of San Francisco. The article is
full Of truth and sound sense:
"Labor is great factor in the
problem Of social economy. 1t is the
producer. 1t is the vital energy that
creates society, 1t is the supporter
of the community. It is the strength
Of the people. Itis the power, the
force that sustains the nation. 1t is
lever aotises it never ceases. There
!. is nos d solitary ihstant Of time ii
which faDof is not moving. lt Is in
society that which has so long been
sought for in the mechanical world
perpetual motion. Through the bright
hours of day, the dim twilight Of eve,
the darkness of night, and the cold
grey of the early dawn, the rythm of
its ceaseless pean never fails in it's
truest Of all harmonies. It is the
song of independence the hymn of
creative ability a psalm Of vigor, q
hymnic tribute to pure nobility.
Labor builds; our villages, towns
! and cities are evidences cf is handi-
work. 1t constructs our railroads,
canals, telegraphs, steamships and all
methods Of conveyances are proofs of
its ability. 1t invents; all the vast
array Of machinery that is crowded
into our factories the engines that
give motion to it; every article of
comfort Or utility, and thousands Of
materials for amusements are testi-
mon:als Of its originality in design.
1t cultivates our fields, it spreads the
sails OF our commerce, it guides the
speeding car, and, most powerful of
all, gives TO the printing press its
disseminating universally.
"Labor benefits mankind. It gives
physical strength to the worker; it
develops the anatomical symmetry of
tho human race. 1t extends tho in
tellectual faculties and gives increas-
cd energy to the brain. II promotes
the moral qualities and gives 10 the
mind it's loftier sentiments. It is be-
ncvolent, generous and charitable it
supplies the wants Of The needy, gives
abundantly and freely to all and be-
slows upon the suffering the means
of amelioration of their troubles.
s'It is the companion Of the poor
and the friend of the rich. 1t brings
cheer(ulness to the hovel and plenti-
tude to the palace. 1t never de-
grades, it always elevates. It gives
employment to al, and deprives
none of occupation, for it is mis-
nomer 70 term any invention labor
saving machine it should be termed,
instead, labor-generating machine.
The sewing macline has given work
to thousands of operatives that else
were idle without it; the cotton gin
has caused countless acres TO whiten
in the autumn breeze that would now
be barren plains had not labor con.
structcd it.
"In every ramiiication Of society
in every department of life labor has
been and ever will continue to he {
self-eyident blessing to the human
race. Possessing SO many virtues
and containing no evils, the recogni
ton due to labor should be pre-emi
nent over all other considerations
1t should receive tho warinest graft

1t is said that in Siam the penalty

The political parties In Maine seem to be In q
state OF dislntegration, or evolution, that makes
It dif11cult to forecast the result of the fall
election. The republicans have suffered from
greenback OBJECTIONS, and the democrats will
only nominally put gubernatorial candidate
In the field. The bulk Of their vote, especially
In the eastern part OF the state Will be cast for
the greenback candidate for governor, In the
way OF swop for members Of the legislature
and other state officers. At the same time the
republicans are making some gains from the
hard-money democrats and the war democrats
For instance, the Belfast Journal characterized
by the Boston Herald dnd) as "for years one
Of the ableSt democratic newspapers In Maine, /"
announces Its change from the democratic to
the republican party, on the ground Of "the
grievous and radical mistakes" made lately by
the democratic party. It would seem that,
however mixed may be the result In the coming
election In Maine. the republican party has the
best prospect Of maintaining permanent Or
ganization.
