Store away few bushels Of dry road
dust for the hens to dust in next winter.
Give them enough of it and have it entire

all through the hen house and cover the
roosts and fill the cracks, and the lice
must move out. This does not sound
quite so nice as soapsuds, crbolic acid,
kerosene, perfect cleanliness, etc, but Il
is more practical and more likely to be
done On a farm where washing henroosts
is not the main business. Dust is also
good to sprinkle on Young stock. but
should be carded and brushed out OF the

year. Its only effect has been to infuse
a new spirit of determination in those
who believe in providing by law against
the evils resulting from the traffic. AS Il
result, we have the same statute re-enact-
ed. but with the defective provisions
pointed out by the Supreme Court care
fully eliminated. A Softening hand has
been applied to each Objectionable fea-
ture, and supposed inequalities have been
adjusted in accordance with the equitable
views then presented by the opponents of
the measure But still the standard of
resistance is not lowered. 1t is said that
the eXigencieS of Il people will at times
rise higher than the constitution, and JUS
tify courts in breaking down legal bar
riers which seem to stand in the way of
the accomplishment of some great good;
but fortunately in the present emergency
there is no need and no disposition to in
woke questionable powers. The re-enact-
ment of law, once declared to be un-
constitutional. after it had been thor
Oughly revised by the General Assembly,
and after former defects have been elimi-
mated, shows commendable regard for
the sacred character of organic law, and
proper submission to legal restraints,
which might be emulated with credit by
those who are opposed to the measure,
and who favor in effect an mfettered and
untaXed traffic in Intoxicating liquors. If
crudities yet exist in the statute, they can
be removed in the future The General
Assembly is clothed with ample discre-
ton in the premises; courts have no pow
er to control this discretion, OF refuse
their assistance in the enforcement of

Scatter Seeds of Kindness.

There was never golden sunbeam
That fell on deSolate place,
But left some trace of its presence
That time could never efface.
Not song of ineffable sweetness
That ravished the listening ear,
Then slumbered in silence forgotten
For many and many year
But word or tone might awaken
Its magical power anew,
Long after the Sweet-vOiced singer
Had faded from earthly view,
Not heart that was ever so weary,
Or tainted with sin or despair.
But word of tender compassion
Might find an abiding place there.
Yet countless thousands are yearning
For sympathy. kindness and love,
And souls are cropping in darkness
Without one gleam from above.
There was never a sunbeam wasted,
Nor song that was sung in vain.
And souls that seem lost in the shadows
y SaviOr's love may reclaim.
Then scatter the SUlnbeams of kindness
Though your deeds may never be known,
The harvest will ripen in glory
If the-seed be faithfully sOwn;
And life will close with a blessing,
And fade into endless day;
Like the golden hues of the sunbeam
That fade in the twilight gray.

Because It's You.

If / could have my dearest wish fulfilled,
And take my choice of all earth's treas

Or choose from Heaven whatsOe'er L

I'd ask for you.
No man I'd envy, neither low nor high,
Nor king in castle old OF palace new,
I'd hold GOlcOnda'S mines less rich than !,
If l had you.
Little I'd care how lovely she might be,
How graced with every charm; how
fond, how true,
Zen though perfection, she'd be naught
to NE,
Were she not you.
There is more charm for my true loving
heart,
In everything you think, or say or do,
Than all the joys that heaven could e'er
impart,
Because it's you.

committee have voted that sewing sho'd
be taught in the schools, and elected

ing that it wasn't worth while for girls
to learn to sew, since women in Boston
could earn only 10 cents day on shirts

to read or write far outnumbered those
unable to sew.

NOTES BY THE WAY.

Last Monday night we took the
G. G. train for Raleigh, hoping
to join a lady friend at Wadesboro,
and many others at Hamlet from
Wilmington. We were disappointed
in both, but at Hamlet met two of
the worst crowded coaches we have
ever seen. This was the Good Sa-
marian excursion from Wilmington
to Raleigh. In the crowd we rec
ognized Miss Gus Sampson, Mr.. Wi
ley Lane, of Wilmington, and Tbos.
Mcneil, of Fayetteville. At San
ford Thomas and I gave our place
to Mr.. T. G. Whitfield, who took
chances to Raleigh.
We had q pleasant run down to
the old town of hospitality. After
our arrival we learned that we were
just a few days too late to enjoy the
picnic given the graded school. The
session Just closed was the largest
and most successful ever taught in
this town. Much credit is due
Prot. A. w. Whitfield and his corps
of teachers for their arduous labors.
Another treat we missed by one day
was the laying Of the corner stone
of the African Methodist Episcopal
church. The Odd Fellows were out
in full force, B. B. Coins, of Raleigh
being the orator of the day. We
are told by good judges that the
Grafton was capital. Rev. J. G..
Fry, of Raleigh, was present, and by
some means captured the report of
our corresponding editor, hence it
goes te the Christian Recorder.
Fayetteville is much enthused
over the prospects of the two rail
roads soon to be built there. Real
estate has advanced 30 per cent in
the last month. There are some
signs of Improvement, the most
prominent being the railroads, one
brick store, two churches and that
large two story building by oul
II
friend, T. c. Whitfield, on Gillespie
street.
We enjoyed q buggy drive very

much from the kindness of our
friend Thos. Broadfoot who owns
zone of the finest" blacks and neat
est buggies in the State.
Wednesday evening we resumed
our journey for Raleigh. We OBJ
served that the crops were looking
remarkably fine all along the line.
At Swans Station we met Mr..
Jesse Mclean, an energetic and
prosperous young colored man who
runs a turpentine distillery, a store,
a large farm, &C., and owns fine
horse and buggy, a number of teams
three or four hundred acres Of good
land, employs about forty hands all
the year and has credit in Fayette-
vile good for any amount of money
he wants. He is sober, honest and
industrious, and pays no attention
to politics.
At Sanford we passed Bishop
Hood and J. S. Leary returning
home.
A few miles out our train ran in
to a COW and completely demolished
her, no damage to the train. At
Raleigh We found the grand lodge
of Good Samaritans in session. Mr..
J. W. Harrell was elected Grand
Chief. Mr.. Austin Jeffreys died on
Wednesday morning and was bu-
ried by the Odd Fellows Thursday.
The barber shops were closed dur
ing his funeral.
The new court house is about
completed. One of the most encour-
aging signs of prosperity we saw
west of Raleigh was at Company
Shops, where we counted nine large
houses in a row going up at the
same time and several kilns of brick
burning close by. Harvest fields
are full and ready for the reapers.

Woe unto the gentleman that hol-

SO we must learn to respect onr-
selves if we want to be respected.
Woe unto the lady that allows
herself to be made small in that way

of it she could stop 1t.

sends notes to ladies that they can't

The diplomas were presented by
DIR. Nation.
DIR. Allen, Secretary Of the Pres
byterian Board of Missions, pre-
scented a prize to VIM. Eugene Par
tee for the best essay by the theolo-
gical students, and addressed the
graduates.
The Rev. DR.. VanDyke, who de-
livered the Baccalaureate sermon,
also delivered the annual address.
His speech was not prepared, but
he said many good and encouraging
things, not only to the students at
Biddle, but to the colored people OF
America. He said he had witnessed
many commencement exercises, and
that Biddle would compare favora-
bly, with any in the United States.
In recitations he had witnessed here,
he found Biddle's students more pro-
ficient in Greek than most any other.
bespoke ofthe magnificent structure
under erection, and hoped it would
be the Mecca of all her graduates
and others. This building is soon
to be completed, and he hoped to
see another, and even a third, erect
ed here. He proposed to tell the
world of the good done by the con-
tribution of Northern friends, and
that it is good to continue to give ;
spoke of the advantages of a liberal
education, and declared there is a
remedy for the defects in every
mind.
He expressed the opinion that
the Anglo-Saxon race will 60 down
in 500 years, and that the Africo-
American will take its place and
that it will not require half the
time for the latter to attain the emil
nence of the former.
Benediction was pronounced by
the Rev. DR.. Bagwell.
After the exercises were over, a
number of friends were dined by
the students, and agreeably enter
tanned a greater part of the after
noon.
Among the visitors were about
ten Of the Higher Course students
of Scotia Seminary; Rev. Mr.. Saun-
ders, of the A. A. Presbyterian John
H. Williamson, of the Banner Enter
prise; L. P. Berry, Attorney-at-
Law; W. G. Coleman, of Concord;
R. NJ. Alexander and J. F.. X. Simp-
son, of the class of '82.

YOUR TIME Is OUT.

If your paper has blue cross
mark, your time is out. We are
forced to cut down our list or take in
more money. 1t certainly is not fair
for the existence of the paper to be
endangered by our overlooking our
self with persons who will not pay.
We would like to have our paper
read by everybody, but the more we
send out, the greater the cost; hence
every one who is not square with
our books" must get 80 at once, or
we shall stop their paper. Now let us
hear from you.

pressive eye. It is conceded by all
that he is the most finished and elo-
quent speaker that has ever been
graduated from Howard University.
Professors and students alike admit
this. Mr.. Wood is purely the pro-
duct of his own brains and muscle,
being fertile in resources, ready in
choice and production, Of infexible
will and bulldog grit. As long as
justice, right and liberty of thought,
and expression shall hold place in
among all that is good, Mr.. Wood
will be gratefully remembered and
revered by all who know him, for he
knew the right and dared defend it.
The American Negro ought to be
proud of him, for he is a rare pos
session, having all the qualifications
of a leader-a careful training, un-
blemished character, and spoDta-
neous wit, being also an eloquent
and forcible speaker, ready and
searching debater, and a keen and
merciless satirist. In fact, he is a
born leader, and is, at present, the
most thoroughly equipped young
colored man in the country.

FAYETTEVILLE, N. c.,
June 5, 1883.

: After a rapid transit through
space, am again in the good old
town of Fayetteville. On Saturday
morning at $50, in company with
Mr.. NJ. N. Leary, Rev. Clarence Dill
lard and Miss Susan Evans, we
steamed out of the Washington de-
pot with a sigh of relief and joy in
full expectancy of Southern air, wa
tiers, and people genial. Rev. Mr..
billiard, who is a recent graduate of
the Theological Department of How
ard University, left us at Richmond,
for Amelia G. H., where he goes to
take charge of a church. Miss Evans
parted with us, or rather we parted
with her, at Weldon, where we
changed cars for Raleigh: Miss
Evans continued to Goldsboro', ,
where she goes for the improvement
of her health 1t is the wish of her
many friends that she will recover,
before her return to Washington
At Raleigh we were surprised to
meet Miss Diana Hall, who, after
an absence of seven years, was re-
turning to Fayetteville, her old
home. At Sanford, we were usher
ed into the Fayetteville car with
eagerness and delight, and after a
ride of two hours or more, we reach
ed Fayetteville at lilo A. NJ, Sun
day morning. Some interesting
reading matter could be furnished
on the Fayetteville Rail Road sys-
TENS. Who will give it2
MAny further comment, however,
would intrude upon the space that
has been allotted to. our last
Thursday evening in Washington.
This of course was the College COM
mencement day. At night a large
concourse of people was gathered in
the College chapel, where the Senior
Glass of the College Department en-
tertained the audience from 8 until
10 p. m. This class consisted of d.
G. Deans, T. d. s. Berger, s. G.
Collins, and Scott Wood. 1t will be
no disparagement TO the other men,
bers of the class, to direct attention
to Mr.. Scott Wood, for he was con-
fessedly not only the orator, but the
intellectual gem of the occasion. His
subject was "The True Scholar"
and for a half hour he convulsed the
audience with tears Of joy and emo
tons of sorrow, by his admirable
treatment, his fascinating eloquence
and his arrow pointed irony. To q
voice rich in melody and strong in
volume, Mr.. Wood adds command
ing presence, possessing an intel
lectual brow, and an earnest, ex-

COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES
Zion Wesley Northumberland
Semiuary-Biddle University.

Many of our schools and colleges
closed last week. Among them
were Bennett Seminary, at Green's
boro; Zion Wesley Institute, at Sal
isbury; and Biddle University, in
this city.
Zion Wesley, the school of the A..
NJ. E. Zion Church, held their Clos
ing exercises on Tuesday, the 9Th,
and was witnessed by very large
crowd. This school is young, and
of course graduates no one. The
annual address was delivered by the
Rt. Rev. Bishop S. 7. Jones. 1t is
pronounced the browning effort of
his life. The programme was long,
and passed the expectations of the
most sanguine. Zion Wesley is a
fixed institution, and under the
management Of Rev. J. G. Price,
promises soon to be one of the lead
ing institutions of learning in the
South.
Bennett Seminary, the school of
the NJ. E. Church, at Greensboro,
closed on Wednesday. This is a
fine school for training our young
folks for teachers and preachers.
We have failed to learn anything
definite of the closing exercises.
Wednesday was also commence
ment day at
BIDDLE UNIVERSITY.
Here we spent the day, feasting on
the good things that feed the mind,
coming on this occasion from some
of the brightest intellects of our
day. The speeches were simply
grand. There were three gradu-
ates from the college department,
with the following subjects:
P. G. Hammet, Spartanburg, s.
c." Duty the Highest Aim of
Man."
Frank NJ. Martin, Mechanicsville,
s. c." Teachers the Hope of the
