North Carolina letter.
Mr.. EDITOR -


As am in the city of Raleigh, North
Carolina, where the State Exposition
is in progress and viii continue until
the 2Sth of the present month. | hope
you will allow me to give your readers
faint idea Of the ''immensc exhibit"
Really, | am so greatly surprised and
carried away in amazement that | am
at loss to know where to begin. The
first thing that strikes me most forci-
bly, is that any one state presents so
many varied resources and in such IN
exhaustlble quantities. Being far re
moved from this state oar IDEAS of her
have always been very closely associa-
ted with those Of "tar, pitch and tur-
pentire." But not so Low This ex-
hibit tears away the glass, through
which we had seen here but diml y, and
We behold an empire, vast, rich and
virgin.
Energy and enterprise have penetra-
ted the deep recesses of the earth and
brought up rich and sparkling gems
and ores which form one Of the most
glttering considerations that adorns the
diadem of any state in the union.
On tables and shelves, arranged for
the purpose are large nuggets of pure
Or almost pure-gold, crystals, sill
Yer, copper, iron, mica, coral of several
varieties and flexible sand stone, anne
thysts, sapphires, &c. Last but not
least, We see beautiful specimens of the
new and valuable gem known as the
Hiddenite. This mineral is said to be
more valuable than the diamond and is
found only in this state. The display
shows that North Carolina produces
every manner of fruit and grain that
can be grown in any state and as prime
in quality as that gathered from any
soil.
The display Of machinery, art and
handiwork show that the people of N.
G., are not wanting in genius or men
tai ability.
A most wonderful curiosity was
pointed out to me in the Albemarle ex
hibit, being the trunk of mammoth
cypress tree inside of which can be
quartered one company Of the State
Guard, thirty-three in number. Time
and searching may yet compel CaIifor-
MIA and the Yellow Stone National
PAX to hand the banner for large trees
down to North Carolina.

AYERS
Cherry PICTORIAL.

No other complaints are 80 insidous in their
attack as those affecting the throat and lungs:
none so trited with by the majority of suffer-
ers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting
perhaps from a triding or unconscious ex-
posure, is often but the beginning Of a fatal
sickness. AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL has
well proven its efficacy in forty years fight
with throat and lung diseases, and Should be
taken in all cases without delay.

Croun. "A Mothcr,s Tribute.


"While in the country last winter my little
boy, three years old, was taken i'll with Group;
it seemed as if he would die from strangu-
lation. One of the family suggested the use
of AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL, bottle OF
which was always kept in the house. This
was tried in small and frequent doses, and
TO our delight in less than half an hour the
little patient was breathing easily. The doc.
tor said that the CHERRY PICTORIAL had
saved my darling's life. Can you wonder at
our gratitude? Sincerely yours,
Mrs. EMMA GEDNEy."

THE GROCER.

The grocer loved n charming girl,
As lovely as the day;
He wondered if shc,d marry him,
And said, Lets Soap she may"
Her lovely face to see,
Exclaiming, "Ah, know full well
That Cheese the girl for me"
The girl was very kind, and sad
That she was very glad
TO see him there, and then remarked
What bad Coffee had.
As soon as they got most intimate,
She let him kiss her brow,
But when he spoke Of marriage, said,
"Oh, DO not Teas me now"
The grocer's spirits fell at this,
He felt as though he'd die,
And hinted at a suicide,
While she Bacon TO cry.
"You silly boy, you don't suppose
I'm blind to all your merits,"
It's evident she knew a way
OF RdiSin up his "sperits."
But true loves course did ne 'er run smooth
Her father saw them kiss
And kicked him from the room, and said,
You'd Biscuit out of thisw
And thus adjurrd, he soon got out,
1t hardly nerd De said
Aud tumbling headlong down the stairs,
Hu8tdrdly hit his head.
ooh, father you are cruel, to
SO roughly handle u.s.
Thus spoke the girl, and father said
II think it's Candle us"
Papa relented when he saw
His child begin 10 cry:
There, there you think my action harsh,
My daughter, Soda l."
There, keep your lover, dry your eyes,
And let's have no more row;
did not like the man, but my
Opinion Suffered now"
The two were wed, and made a pair,
BY no means ilI-assorted
And happy ever after were,
It's Currdnt-ly reported.

Faded Hopes.

A young man with broad back and sor-
rowful look, was standing in front of the
Board of "'rade yesterday when an acquaIn-
tance came up and called out
"Hello Thomas-out of iob?"
"Yes, out of a job" was the sad reply.
"No! Why you were porter for whole
sale house for three years past.'
"Just so, but I've been discharged"
"Is that so; did you have trouble with
the boss ?"
"No, not exactly. You see I went into
the house 20 work my way up. The first
Christmas l ought to have been promoted to
salesman, but wasn't. The second Christ
mas ought to have been offered partner
ship for my faithful services, but the offer
didn't come. This year / ought to have

He Went With the Old Man.

"Dad," he announced, as he dropped his
gripsack on the Old Colony depot platform,
while the light of baleful purpose shone In
his eyes; "dad, you can take the valise-
I'm goin' to look round the town."
"Air you thnkin' of drnkin' any beer,

THE STORY OF LIFE,
JOHN g. SANE.

Say, what is life? 'Tis to be born
A helpless babe to greet the light
With sharp wall, rs if the morn
FOretold a cloudy noon and ilht
To weep, to sleep, and weep again,
With sunny smiles between-and then?
And then apace the infant grows,
To be laughing sprightly boy,
Happy, despite his little woes.
Were he but conscious of his Joy!
To be, in short, from two to ten,
A merry, moody child-and then?
And then in coat and trowsers clad,
To learn TO say the decalogue,
And break it, an unthinking lad,
With mirth and mischief all agog
A truant oft by field and fen,
And capture butterflics-and then?
And then, increased in strength and size,
To be, anon, n youth full grown,
The hero in his mothers eyes.
A youth Apollo in his own;
TO initiate the ways of mcu
In fashionable sin-and then?
And then, at last, to be a man,
TO fall in love, to WOO and wed
With seething brain to scheme and plan
To gather gold or toll for bread
To sue for fame, with tongue and pen,
Aud gain or lose the prize-and then?
And then when gray and wrinkled, old,
To mourn the speed of life's decline;
To praise the scenes our youth behold,
And dwell in memory of lang syne;
To dream while with dark ened ken,
TO drop into the grave-and then?

The Consultation of a Nation Burned Up.
50. James' Gazette.

Belgium, the freest and best governed
country on the continent, is for the present
without Constitution, the charter Of 1880,
together with all the papers relating to Bel
gian independence, having been destroyed in
the fire which has burned to the ground the
Chamber of Representatives. The case is
unprecedented; and 1t will be interesting to
see In what manner the nation will readopt
the act. Fortunately, one may say without
undue emphasis, that the Belgian Constitu-
tion is written in the hearts of the people;
and the Belgians, after all, are In no worse
condition than the English, who also have
no Constitution in documentary form. The
only other country which was ever deprived
Of Its Constitution at one blow was Poland.
The Polish Constitution Of the year 1918
was seized bodily by the troops Of tho EN-
peror Nicholas after the suppression of the
insurrecsion Of 1880, and carried away 10 be

Where the Gold Goes.


1t is estimated that at least s100, 900, 900
in gold now lie buried In the cemeteries of
the nations, and the amount will soon reach
a billion. This makes heavy drain on the
production of gold, but in addition to this,
the vast amount used In gilded china and
crockery ware, picture frames, the walls and
interior decorations Of rooms, railway cars,
the solid dishes used on the table, and the
amount required In the manufacture OF
watches, gold plating, personal adornments.
and The wear Of our gold com, with the
amount lost al sea, and In our lakes and
rivers, requires more than all the mlnes OF
the nation can produce, 50 thai without the

POETRY,
RED SUNSETS.

Wearing Aurora's robe, night after night,
Some radiant spirit rules the Western sky,
Drowning the sun-tints with such rich sup
ply
or colors weaved of unremeInbered light,
That it would seem the Master painters
might
Had wrought anew His palette there on
high,
To tell the tired world rainbows shall not
die,
Which first His pledge of promise did indite.
Forged newly like steel-blue scimitar,
The crescent Moon shines keener than of
old,
And AS the drawn sword Of the armed for
war,
Marshals those hosts of crimson, green,
and gold,
Till underneath the quiet Evening Star
The great review pales ont into the cold

A few hours afterwards, in looking over

speaker was engaged, the following news

was about leaving the room, 81 see this man
