The Democrat. (Scotland Neck, Halifax Co., N.C.) 1884-1896, 1886-11-12

If every Democrat or every man
who claims to be a Democrat haa
voted at the last elet ton our whole
ticket would have been elected. A
white man in the eastern counties
who failed to vote ought to 60 and
hide himself from decs Mt people and
call upon the buzzards to flap their
wir os over him and the minks, mu *
rats, and pole cats to become his com
panions in secret to purify his n2-
ture and elevate him to a level with
their nature asd Instincts. Some
failed to vote because of kl,ndnsss,
ienerance and madness. They
might be excused if we had the pa
thence Of a Job and the charity OF q
Paul. We admit that the patience
of true Democrats have been put
to a severe test. b It that class all
voted. We are ve,y free to confess
that if Grover Cleveland had been
the candidate we should not have
voted: but to fail to vote for a man
to fill q county or state office be-
cause lie owned Cleveland as his
President was the height OF stupla'-
ty and madness. It was not a ques-
ton of endorsing or condemn!ng the

HADN'T Been introduced.

A good natured newspaper chap was at
a rustic picnic and rashly spoke tc a
young lady without the formality OF an
introduction. He happened to see a great
fat caterpillar crawling on her lace collar
and jumping toward her said:
Madam, permit me to
But the young lady waved him of with
an imperious and insulting gesture and
said: How dare you speak to me without
an introduction. You are certainly no
gentleman, sir"
Here the caterpillar overbalanced itself
and fell down into her neck
@Youcn! Oh! Help! Take 1t of. Oh
please do take it of, somebody screamed
the fair one. The newspaper man was the
only somebody" around and he said: Il

The introduction of military tactics into

may be at the stop of the heap" before
you are, with all the advantages of birth,
education and wealth. Many a little
shaver, who now sweeps an Office or runs
errands for a living, will be running the
whole concern by the time he is grown up;
and many a messenger boy will have stock
in the company whose uniform he now
wears-and it won't be watered stock,
either-but the boys who do this will
have to travel around a little faster than
the average messenger boy who is now best
known to fame.
Doesn't reading of all these busy little
bees make you feel like drones in the hive?
Though they work so hard, and don't look
a. if they had much comfort, some of them
are happier than you, perhaps, because
they are ~contented, and contentment is a
great sweetener of four daily bread, as You'll
find out some day. But nobody can be
really contented who is idle. No'matter
how well OFF, your parents may be, you
should all learn to do something and to do
that something well. 1t will not hurt you
to know how, even though you are not
obliged to work; and if you are, why then
You are ready for the emergency.
The Germans set us an admirable exam
pie in that respect. Do you know that in
Germany all boys and girls are taught some
trade or occupation? Daughters of rich
and noble families go into other households
and serve an apprenticeship. as servants
and learn all manner of wonderful house
wifery. The may not be up" in all the
ologies and isms like you Boston girls, but
they can't be beaten when it comes to a
question of hOusekeeing, and in a cooking
match I'm afraid the fair Frauleins would
take the prize from your dainty fingers.
And you boys, do YOU know that even
the IONS of the imperial family of Germany
are all taught trades? The Crown Prince,
now, is a carpenter. They make their own
choice, and his ran i'll that direction. In
fact, royalty seems TO tackle kindly" to
carpentry. You all remember the story of
Peter the Great of Russia, who was a ship
carpenter.
The lesson of all this is that &. nobody is
too good TO work. That's what we are all
here for. You know what good old DR..
Watts said, and it's rs true to-day as ever:
Satan finds some miSchie eff still
For idle hands 10 do.
So be good boys and girls, and don't let
him get in any OF his work with you.
