from the depot.
When 1 looked again at the young girl
who had so interested me. all the eager
look of expectation was shining in her
face the thought of the happy days be-
fore her; the long hours of summer sun
shine, and the Joys they would bring her
in the home of the kind friends who were
to meet her at her journeys end.
She was relieved, too, l knew, that
time had been given her to make some
little atonement for her Impotence, to
say pleasant words and give pleasant
smiles to her mother before she left her.
But l wanted to say to her, as l say to
you now, my young friends, that it is far
better not to give yourselves the need tor
making any such atonement or expression
of regret. Check the hasty, impatient
words which come so readily Think of
that wondrous love which your parents
have for you, which leads them to make
many sacrifices, constantly, for your
sakes. Receive all their admonitions and
counsel with respect and cheerfulness.
Never allow yourselves to be tretful or
cross at their warnings and care for you.
AS the train carried this young girl
from her loving mother. I thought to my
SELF 1t may be that she will never see
her again IL
There will come a time, to many OF
you, when that dear mother face will pass
from your sight for all the rest of your
life on earth. All, then, happy will you
be if you have no unkind or fretful words
to remember, no impatient actions to make
your hearts ache when it is too late to
offer any atonement
Think we'll of this, boys and girls

BOYS and Bumblebees.

A person who has never been boy in
the country finds great difficulty in un-
Outstanding just where the fun comes in
when party of boys undertake to fight
out bumblebees nest. With the limit
ed knowledge of boys and bumblebees
that city people possess, they are apt to
think that the fun is all on the side OF the
bees, and that the boys are moved to at
tack the nest by a generous intention to
amuse it's occupants. That this view is a
reasonable one, although not exactly cor
rect, will be seen when the method and
consequences of an attack upon bum
blebees' nest are described.
The boys who are fortunate enough to
have discovered be,s g nest assemble in
the neighborhood, armed with paddle"
whitfield out of shingles, OF branches of
brush%ood The attack is made with
some caution, and it is always doubtful
point whether the position nearest to the
nest is the post of honor, or whether that
desirable station is not somewhere in the
rear of the attacking party.
1t does not take much to arouse the
sturdy inhabitants of the nest to active
hostlhtes, nor do they cOnhne themselves
closely to defensive tactics. By no means.
Each individual bee seems animated by
determination to give those boys all the
fun that can be obtained from their en-
terprise, and the air is soon alive with
the battle cries Of the two contending
parties, which to an outside spectator

North Carolina surpass her in industrial

There Is a grimly satirical reflection on the
condition of our national defences in the news
telegTaphed from Boston about the burglars
who worked" Forts Independence and Win
throp on Thursday night. At Fort Independ-
ence the garrison, consisting of one soldier was
asleep, and the thieves crawied through an
open casemate and made off with several
articles. AT Fort Winthrop, which was
guarded By single civilian Waterman, they
tried the same thing but were captured and
put In Jail. The moral OF this pleasing incident
Is two fold. First, its suggests the mathemati-
cal query: Ii a couple OF men could rifle a fort
without waking its military garrison, what
could an invading force of two thousand men
accomplish Second, it opens the general ques-
ton whether fort with soldiers in it is not in
q more defeneeless condition than one without
any. The story will supply some ironical Con-
gressmen with material for q speech on the
next Notifications bill, or on General Logan's
measure for increasing the efficiency of the
United States army.

While nobody with common sense believes
that society is going to destruction at once If
Henry George shall be elected mayor of New
York on the I'd of November, yet there is a
widespread feeling of anxiety in view of his
bare chance of success. The danger appre-
hended lies not so much in the fact, as in the
inference to be drawn from 1t. The machinery
of the law Is strong enough in the state to
compel administration of the citys affairs
in outward conformity with the constitution
and the statutes, no matter who sits in the
mayors chair; and Governor Hill, however
much OF politician he may be, would not
hesitate TO put heavy restraining hand on Mr..
George on short notice, if 1t became necessary
TO enforce authority by harsh measures. But
the trouble goes deeper than the governors
hand can reach. II, after hearing the utter
ances of Mr.. George has made from the platform,
and seeing the gang of mob-agitators who have
been clustered under the shelter OF his personal
respectability during the canvass. the voters of
great commercial metropolis present him to
be elected to their chief political office, 1t
argues i'll for the proportion of ignorance and
vice to culture and decency in that city. 1t
means, in short, that there is a larger host
standing ready TO follow the flag OF communism
than even the police have suspected; and this
is an omen OF q brief but bloody struggle to
come one day in the future.
A candid view of this subject requires the
facing Of some unpleasant truths; but it would
be as absurd to make them the basis of any
general diseo1ragements to prophesy the
destruction OF the universe, from an earthquake
in one southern city. The world gets a shaking
up now and then, matter how strenuous the
effort to avoid one. Foreign and civil wars
take place from time to time, great capitals are
devasted by fire or riot, panics and disasters
occur in financial circles; yet, after quiet has
been restored, things move on about the same
as before. The only change Is that men are
wiser for bit of trying experience. So the
success or failure OF the George movement Is
not likely seriously TO divert the current of
human history. Its effect just now would be to
give public confidence a shock. and postpone
for while the realization OF those bright pros
poets in trade and industry which the early
autumn has held forth. The backset would be
felt worst by the poor man whose cham
pion MIR. George aspires to be. Manufacturers,
contractors, shippers, and handlers OF all kinds
of products would suffer a painful sense OF in.
security. They would not dare undertake at
once those bold ventures which keep money
flowing from the pockets OF the rich into the
pockets of the humble. There would be less
for the workingman to do. and therefore less for
him to earn and spend. Already the warming
has been given By the barometer of the Stock
exchange, where prices have begun to sag in
view OF the near approach of the November
polling-day and the unpleasant possibilities OF
the result. But while the election OF Mr.. George
is possible, it is still not probable.
