DON'T sE CROSS Aseur iT.


Isaid had no heart to give
Th traei why should you doubt ~
And turn your face away from mine,
And look SO cross about it,
Hearts will not stay
For yea or nay,
Or vigilance unsleeping,
And one bright day mine went away
Forever from my keeping
No grief felt for such loss,
Nor labored to repairit,
And If had Joy in life,
Another seemed to share H.
Love will not go
Or stay; ah> mol
Despite reproof or chiding;
And in my breast welcome guest,
The rogue has long been hiding,
Though many suitors sought my hand,
still refused to marry:
And many wondered at my ways
And why chose to tarry.

My heart had flown
Away its will pursuing
To find its mate, for whom I'd wait
Until he came a'woOing.

That long ago it fed from me,
And entered your possession.
The waiting's past;
You've come at last!
You love me-who can doubt IT.
And kisses sweet
Should you repeat
I'll not be cross about it.

The Transformation.

No more impressive evidence Of
the transformation Of parties nowin
progress could be furnished than is
afforded by the comments upon the
Republican platform in the Christian
Union, of New York, and the Adj
vance and Standard of Chicago
three of the most prominent and In
luential among the religious news
papers Of the country. The Chris
tian Union, although undenomina-
tiOnal, is edited by Congregation
alists, while the Advance is theehief
Western organ of the Congregation
alists, and the Standard the chief
Western organ of the Baptists. All
three papers are edited by men Of
Republican antecedents, and would
naturally side with a party Of moral
ideas, but all three find it impOssi-
bic to support the Republican plat
form Of eItraEaganee and free whis-
key. The Standard, expressing, as
it believes, "the general sentiment Of

DANyrLLT, Va, July 2S.-At
Dry Fork yesterday large picnic
party was held Of ladies aud gentle.
men from Danville, Chatham and va.
rious parts OF Pittsylvania county
Late in the afternoon the picnicers
assembled around the railroad sta
ton awaiting the several trains for
their respective homes. While they
were thus assembled freight train,
bound north. passed the station at o
speed of about thirty miles an hour.
Miss Geo ge La Prade q lovely
young lady from the county near

The Only Avenue of Escape.

Behold the happy laborer as he
rises in the morning and puts on his
flannel shirt, taxed 95 per cent. 1t
is perchance cool, and he puts on a
coat taxed 81 per cent. He can not
go without shoes, taxed 35 per cent,
and the hat he puts on is taxed 65
per cent. and washes his face and
hands in a tin bowl taxed 35 per
cent, drying them on a cheap towel
taxed As per cent. But still more
happiness is in store. He sits down
to breakfast and eats from a plate
taxed so per cent. with a knife and
fork taxed So per cent. The sugar
he puts into coffee is taxed 81 per
cent, and he seasons his food with
salt taxed 40 per cent. He looks
fondly at his happy wife and chill
dren who share with him his protec-
ton, and then goes out and fills his
pipe with tobacco taxed 1872 percent.
or perhaps lights a protected cigar
llS per cent. and proceeds to his
highly-protected labor.
The days work being done he
reads chapter from the family
Bible, taxed % per cent, and kneels
to pray on an humble carpet taxed
81 per cent. At last he lies down
and wraps his weary limbs in a
sheet taxed ~ per cent. and sinks
INTO the arms of Morpheus under a
blanket that is taxed 104 per cent.
The Democratic partyis the only
avenue Of escape from this unjust
system Of taxation, which menaces
the prosperity of our country and
homes.

spirit:of the Age.
Yes, let it be remembered that in
1851, when the churches and the
preachers and the good women Of
North Carolina were doing all in
their power to carry Prohibition. the
Republican State executive commit
tee held a meeting here in the city
of Raleigh and decided and resolved
to oppose Prohibition. and to throw
the vote of the Republican party Of
the State against it
And let ii be remembered that
Col. Oliver n. Dockery, as soon as
tue campaign OF that year opened,
took the field against Prohibition and
did all he could to defeat the preach
ers, the churches and the prayers Of
the women; and that the defeat OF
Prohibition that year. was MANLY
due to the action Of the Republican
party, with Colonel Dockery as one
of its leaders.
And let il be remembered that in
1882, when a Congressman for the
State at,large, was to be CHOSEN, the H.
quor dealers association, under the
name Of the Anti Prohibition Liberty
party, held convention in the city
of Raleigh, and nominated Col. o.
ii. Dockery, and that he accepted
the nomination Of the said liquor
dealers association. Aud don't let
it be forgotten chat, a week later,
the Republicans met in convention
here, in the same hall, and endorsed
the nomination made by the liquor
party-that party which had the
year before made sport Of preachers,
calling them crazy fanatics.
And then let it be remembered
that Col. Dockery stumped the State
again in 1882, telling the people as
he went. that prohibition would take
away the peoples liberties, and
charging that the Democratic party
was the Prohibition party.
And then let it be remembered that
the Colonel Oliver II. Doekery, who
is now candidate for Governor, and
who is so anxious to canvass with his
brother Walker, the third party can
didate for Governor, because he
hopes TO make a cats paw Of him and
his party TO pull the gubernatorial
chestnut out of the fire, is the same
Col. Dockery who hated prohibition
so bad in 1881 that he would not dis
vide time with prohibition speaker
at Concord.
And finally, let it be remembered,
that, if the Democratic ticket, which
has seven prohibiiionists on il, Is not
elected, then Col. Dockery, the
wheelshorse of the Liquor Dealers
Association will sit in the gubernas
lorial chair for the next four years,
with q full cabinet Of Ants in the
State offices sitting around him. And
truly may he then exclaim: I've
conquered at last" ~-

your cause in North Carohua, vote

TEE MILLS BILL.

GREENSBORO. N. c.. July u.s.
Hon. John M. Brewer, republican
member of Congress from this dis
trict. has caused a general rattling Of
dry bones in the Republican camp in
this district and state by his voting
with the Democrats for the Mills
bill. A joint meeting of the Repub>
lican leaders in this district was held
here last night to confer over the awk !.
wardness and general cussedness OF
the situation. bat it appears to be
quite difficult to pour oil on the
trouble waters as Brewer boldly
maintains his defiance and stubborn
ness. Il was learned 10 day that re-
solutions were passed In the confer.
ence yesterday and last night strongly
coDdemning the aforesaid Brewer for
his Democratic procliyi,ies. and in
evidence Of this fact the North STATE
has taken down from its mast head
the name of Brewer. At present the
outlook for the Republicans in this
State presents q gloomy aspect as
their forces are badly scattered, with
the State organization going TO
pieces. s..
