o,Iy a Faded Flower.

What fond memories cluster around
EJa5 f,werl When it was given, il
~. lra,h and fragrant with the morning
1t was a. bright and beautiful as
~. heart of her who gave 1t me. 1t
"CLa Of a pure and a holy love. Its very
,etaI, told Of the purity and the undying
Fiction of a loyal aud trusting heart.
Rur now it Is only a faded flower.
The withered leaves, though they still
retain some Of the fragrance with which
II was first blessed, tell of the crushed
hopes, the joys forever gone, and the
brightness and happiness OF the past
which can never be recalled. 1t speaks
10 my heart In a language, sweet ana sad.
There rises before mine eyes form Deau
tiful to look upon, a lace when 10 my
heart IS as sweet and bright as the lace OF
the Sacred Mother" And IN my
imagination | again hear that voice which
10 me was the sweetest music. But L
awake and find only a faded Hover!
Aud As | gaze upon 1t with a yearnlng Tor
the DAYS that have gone, 1t seems tosay to
ne: All earthly hopes must fade away.
The forms and the faces that are now 30
beautiful. 20 full of lite and joy, SO glad
and free, will soon fade away, and become
A. '.0nly a faded flower.
Then | ask it OF the future. Does the
future promise joy and happiness? Will
ali things fade away Cannot the loved
forms and faces always retain their grace
and brightness? Must the heart which
now beats with such high hopes and as
pirat .ons, be forever silent, and moulder
back into dust? And it answers back ::
was once a. beautiful a. these; but now
am only a faded flower"
take it up again, forgetting 1t Is only
q flower. and there comes rushing IN upon
my heart such an overwhelming sense OF
sadness and loneliness, it>eems as though
the black tiend OF diapair, with his hor-
rib ta'Ons is Juggling at the very core OF
ms heart. and | say 10 this poor faded
flower, l. there no world where all Is
forever bright, and where nothing fades,
and dies p And the poor faded flower
SIMS To brighten ami glow, and send out
from It's wIthered and crushed leaves, a
r..Ler perfumo than ever. as 1t answers,
Yes. in Heaven, all Will be more bright
and lovely than they ever were here on
earth, and there | shall not be Only a
faded flower. D Z. W.

Col. WHARTON j. GREEN.-We clip
the following in reference to Col. Whar-
ton j. Green, Democratic candidate for
Congress in the third district, fram the
Wilmington Star:
Col. Green i. now about fifty one years
of age, we think. He is in his man
hoods prime. We have never heard him
make a political speech. He will make
a very active and, we believe, effective
canvass. He ha. a fine personal presence,
is courteous. courtly, genial and brave.
His war record is good. and he is as de
cided a man in his political convictions
as walks the earth. The people may well
trust Wharton Green. He is incapable
Of ~betraying any cause, and. least of ali,
of ~betraying his W noble manhood. If
elected he will make q faithful Represen-
tative He is a farmer, and his interests
are identified with the agricultural inter
est, of the State.
Col. Green is a native of Warren coun-
tv. His people are North C2rolinlans.
Hi. father before him, the late Gen.
Thomas j.. Green, rendered service in
Texas, when it was the Lone Star, 'and
published, about 1915. bis interesting
history of the once tsrnOus Mier Expedi~
ton into Mexico.

We sympathise so warmly with the old

had little difficulty in makinga livelihood,
and gradually recovering their fortune.
But IS everybody knows. the best sol
dlers were generally the most exposed,
not only on the field. but in camp aud
on picket. We can recall MANY an occa-
son when a few gallant fellows had to
dc double duty. '-standing guard
half the night. going out IN the storm
To act as picket. or marching many
Weary miles, while others rested doIno
double duty. because their more selfish
comrades knew when L. play sick, OF

Influential friends IN high command.
In this way, many a ~stout-heart WAS
broken down aud many a stout arm
Nv trfed for life. We met "a fellow
prisoner OF Fort Delaware recently.
whom we remembered a u 200 FOUNDER
Now he is thin, ~saliow, and so weak that
an hour IN the sun, Or the lifting OF 4
nushel of corr. will break him down.
Yet. with property lost, health gone, and
a large family dependent, he has never
entirely lost pluck. That is right. All
the same it should not be forgotten that
he suffers for his patriotism, for his de
votion to the State.

We commend the activity of Postm

We commend the activity of Postmas-
ter + II Brink, of Wilmington, who has re
Gently laid traps and captured two ~rascals
who we're robbings the mails. The press
should take notice of all such efforts
because anything that tends to purify the
postal service, and render absolutely safe
the transmission of mail matter, will
serve to the use OF the pen,-
a thing very much desired at the South.
1t is astonishing how little correspon-
dence prevails among the masses of our
people, outside of the cities. Many a
comfortable home could not produce pen
and ink without an hours search, If at
all. This tends to make US a %'provir-
cial' and self absorbed people, living our
lives in a narrow circle OF a dozen or
twenty miles; knowing little Of the lives
of friends and kinsmen VINO may be less
than one hundred miles distant. Yet the
cost of a monthly letter would be too
trihing to mention. We have often
thought it would be a good idea if the
law required Postmasters, land Judges
should be appointed from the party not
in power so that the appointing power
could have no inducement to select other
than the best person for the place. Then
there would be no inclination to ebleld a
rascal when detected.
