For the SENTINEL
THE MAGIC PENCIL.
Mas Inr1s .n1s

fastfii bn LOufS Il. AAlS.
One day when seated at my desk to write,
There suddenly came over me a fog
OF anxious cares that put my thoughts to flight,
And all my fondest fancies seemed to clog!
/ dipped my pen in ink, End tried in vain
My fair asthetic visions to recall
l changed my seat, but still nay added brain
Would cling to dismal thoughts, that like a
pail
o'ershaddewed all my efforts, naught would
clear
From heart and mind and brain, those visions
drearI
l threw aside my pen in dull despair,
And seized pencil from my dagere.
Then Ibegan 10 write again, and strange,
1t was to note the prompt and wonderful
changes.
Thoughts once scattered came in bright
array,
And in their wonted place arrayed themselves!
While all those dismal visions fed away,
Like phantoms in the light, or timorotis elves
And now sit anc write, and write, and write,
While Ger the page my magic pencil flies,
Thoughts come so thick and fast that like the
light,
They dazzle and o'erpower my weary eyes.
Still on my pencil goes, nor can / tell,
The power that seems to move it at its will
II scas a gift from one who knows fulwell
The art of moving hearts and souls, bus still
cannot understand what wondrous art
Could to a pencil give such magic skill
could 1t but speak, perhaps it would impars
The secret of its power my page to fill

A BUSINESS PROPOSITION.

The efforts that are made from time
to time to give our readers new at
fractions cost money and we look to
them for the "wherewithal, to defray
these extra expenses. Notwithstand-
ing this has been very dull year,
THE SENTINEL is to be congratulated
upon the promptness with which its
patrons have come forward and paid
their subscriptions. There are still a
few who have neglected this impor
tant duty either from force of circum-
stances in some cases, and others from
force of habit These readers are
just as warm friends of THE SENTI-
MEL as the more systematic ones, and
can at almost any time cancel their
arrears. 1t is our desire that all our
subscribers stand on the same footing,
and to bring aoout this result, we
make the following offer:
We will peesent one of our hand
some Autograph crayons Of Governor
SCALES to every subscriber who be-
tween now and the 1st of July pays
up to January LIST, 1887. We want
to begin the new year of 1887 with
clean books and we make this early
start to do it. After each account is
settled up to January LIST, it will be
no difficult matter for all Of our sub
scribers to make their annual payment
henceforward as they become due. By
this adherance to business method, we
will be relieved Of the unpleasant task
of reminding our readers of their an
rears, and it will allow US to expend
more time and money and energy in
improving THE SENTINEL, and max
ing it even a more popular newspaper
than its present increase in circulation
would justify US in believing it to be.

A Raleigh paper has sounded the note of
warning to all Democrats to watch their pri-
mary meetings. They to be vigilantiy
watched, for in these primaries is the place the
artful demagogue gets in his most successful
work. There is the beginning of all, or the
greater part of all, the corruption too prevalent
most of the time. These meetings should be
attended by every true, pure Democrat who
values the success of his party at anything. He
should give every movement inaugurated his
personal attention; he should examine the
man originating new schemes, plans, etc, very
carefully, and discover what motive prompts
him before allying and pledging himself to sup
port these new schemes, etc, snd then it will
be wise for every one to decide for himself
what the result of any departure Will be
to the Democratic party. Let every man set
himself to watching and not depend on some

"Blood will tell" in breeding stock
of any kind. 1t goes without saying
that sire and dam bred true to GER
tain type for several generations will,
without much doubt, produce off
springs true to their type also, and
tor this reason animals of well known
breeding are much more valuable in
the breeding Aocks and herds than
those Of doubtful breeding, although
Of equal merit otherwise, and the

pay well for such blood
