AReal Necessity.

We presume there is hardly lady to
be found in our broad land who, if she
does not already possess a sewing, ma
chine expects some day become owner of
one.
But after the mind has been fully
made up to purchase one of these indis-
pensable articles, the question arises
what kind of machine to buy.
It should be simply constructed that
the most inexperienced can successfully
operate it. The other points mainly to
be considered, and which are the most
desirable, are durability, rapidly, ca
pacty for work, ease of operation, regu-
larity of motion, uniformity Of tension,
and silence while in operation.
The "Light-Running New Homep fills
all the above requirements, and is said
TO combine the good points Of all sewing
machines, with the addition Of many
new improvements and labor-saving
devices.
The prices are no higher than that of
any other machines, and every lady
who is the possessor Of one may rest as
sured she has indeed treasure.
All who send for the company's new
illustrated catalogue and enclose their
advertisement printed on another page)
will receive a set Of advertising novel

A Short Sermon for Young PeO.
pie.

Last week our sermon was on
fast young men, and by special re.
quest we shall proceed to say some
thing about the same kind of young
women.
Woe unto the young woman that
won't obey her mother, for she will
not come to any good end. Woe
unto the young woman that thinks
she knows everything, for she just
knows enough to come to ruin. Woe
unto the young woman that loves
to fiirt, for it is the first step that
leads to her downfall. Woe unto
the young woman that will not learn
to work and make an honest living.
for she is doomed to lead a reckless
and degraded lite. Woe unto the
young woman that is poor and re-
fuses to work, but dresses as fine as
a queen for she is spotted. Woe unto
the young woman that keeps up with
the fashion, and dresses in silk and
satin and fine lace, with gold and dia-
mond decorations, but is as poor as
Jobs turkey, for she is the topic of
the town talk. Woe unto the young
woman that accepts one young
mans company to church, and shirks
him for another's company, for she
makes enemies, and her ruin is
sought. Woe unto the young woman
that falls in love with all the young
men and marries one to spite the
others, for she makes her own bed
Of thorns and must lie in it. Woe I'M
to the young woman that keeps late
hours at night and loves to stand on
the street corners, and love to go up
the dark places to keep people from
knowing her, for she is on the broad
road to ruin and her hopes are boast
ed, character and reputation lost, and
she is in the pit that she dug by her
own hard head and disobedience.
She breaks her mothers hearts,
whitens her hairs with trouble, and
sends her to her grave with brok-
en- heart. Grief kills her and a way
ward daughter is the murderer. And
how many of our handsomest and
fairest girls, that were the apple of
their mothers eye and the darling
of bosoms, are guilty of this crimel
Woe! woe! unto such a young wom-
an, for she goes to her grave de-
spised, friendless, shipwrecked
and unnoticed. Her grave is the
paupers grave. The spot where she
is buried is forgotten; and her broth
ers and sisters are ostracised in COM
pany, and often held responsible; and
all for her hayward life. Young
women, bewarel Be careful how
you live, and who you associate with
and be not the diggers of your own
graves. Amen.-Ky. Rep.

LOCAL AND GENERAL.

III ucHldHu IulS Wook.
The Episcopal convention for the
Diocese of North Carolina convened
in St. Johns church Wednesday
morning.
The revival at the Methodist
church was to close last night.
The mayor had big time Tues
day and took in about $50, the re-
suit of the celebration.
The Inferior court is in session
this week and the court house is
crowded with women almost as u.s.
ual.
Among the delegates attending
the convention is Messrs. W. II.
Sumner, of Raleigh, and J. H. d.
Wis, of Wilmington.
A colored printing Office of Cairo,
ILL.,, secured the city printing of
that city.
Five colored papers were repre-
scented at the State press convention
of Arkansas. How many will be at
the North Carolina press conven-
ton?
Savannah has a colored firm of
cotton buyers who handle over fifty
thousand bales year. They are
Messrs. John & Jackson.
The President has appointed Hon.
Walter Evans of Louisville, KY, to
be Commissioner of Internal Rev.
nue..
Mr.. Oscar e. Jones is no longer
agent for this paper. Jesse W.
Mcdonald is the only authorized
agent in New Hanover county.
W. C. Chase, of the Washington
Bee, has been appointed to clerk
ship in the War Department.
A colored woman was released
from the Ohio Penitentiary week
before last, and married an hour
later.
Chilicothe, Ohio, has a Democratic
Council and Mayor which put a
colored man on the police force.
The party rejoices because that is
more than the Republicans there
ever did.
We are all opposed TO bossism,
liberalism, readjusterism, and the
like, in this State; but Republican
ism, proper, is the thing for us now
and all time to come.
The Banner-E Enterprise should ex.
plain in an article not quite so long.
Tell us, if we do not vote for nor
support Republicans, should we
support Democrats. Can a colored
man, under the present condition Of
affairs, support the Democratic
party?
We have said but little upon the
Colored National Convention. If
North. Carolina is to take part in it
we should have State Convention,
and it is time something was said of
it by our leaders.
Mr.. VIM. Crawford, of Nashville,
Tenn, is in our city, in the interest
Of the Order of Immacculates.
Rev. J. II. Mabrey writes us that
he will be here next week, and will
visit the different churches.
Our streets never needed water
SO badly before. But then we haze
the Water Works, and that is con-
ISOLATION.
Rev. r. II. Nichols will, hold SER
vices in the old Presbyterian church
tomorrow morning, afternoon, and
night.
