Eaadinr the Death List.

The daily death list published in the rews-
papers is anxiously consulted by more people
than those who have an idle curiosity to know
who is dead. During campaign, candidates
for Office are anxious to attend funerals that
are liable to cOngregate men of influence. \
certain class of lawyers are OD the lookout
for damage suits. Tombstone dealers take
notes with Il view to business in The future.
Insurance agents make Il memorandum to
call upon the surviving relatives i'll due time
The keepers of the beer houses out hear the
cemeteries gauge their orders according to
tie outlook for the day. The class who want
free carriage rides sean the column atten-
lively, and dozens ct other classes read the
dreary list with more or less selfshness. I'm
dertaker in Globe Democrat.

Small BOy at School.

There is q greater bore in this world than
a man who has just fallen i'll love, and that
is small child who has lately entered a new
class at school. My teacher seems to have
said something on every topic that can be
imagined, and he has no idea of keeping her
wisdom to himself, but repeats it to every
body at all hours He even rises earlier,
"because my teacher said the other day
when fellow was late that boy who could
not get up early would never make a great
man," and he goes to bed without a murmur
because my teacher says that sleep l. ne
cessal'y to make us grow" And III month
he will call her ''old Ma:am Smith," becauet
he will have found out that she, like al his
other teachers, insists that he shall learn
whereas he knows that be was sent to school

cen years hos been manager of the German
society Of the city OF New York.
"Onlv Yesterday / saw q communication

of foreign affairs, addressed to one Of the

a certain society recently established here
presumably for the purpose of conferrinS
bencfios upon the Germans, and which opened

THE SOULS MIRRORS.

The Hye is a crystal Of msrvelous clear

to absorb tht cht which else would be Ec-
fiected and daZzle Us. The crystal Of the iris
is cnlorei in blending rays and fibers, rs III
certain fJrouS cleaning stones, rendering

n4orc beautiful ia itself. Now there is DO
such index to the health Us the eye. If tic
blood is pure and coursing freely with air and
exercise III due degree, the crystal igLt, the
depth of color, and the liquid sottuess Of

settlrs arc the first to be drawn upon in any
scriouE depletion Of strength The cushion
of fat on which the cyehall rests lends it
prominence and as fatigue drains its scrous
tluid, tie eye looks sui.kcn and dull. So
much foI physioIn@y,
1t IS sual,ge that Tho men who boast their
only books arc women's looks, do not learn
more of tIeir phenomena. We hear enough
of hlroi..e's eyes i'll various languages, but it
is mighty l.1tlc the novelsts have to tell US
to what they might. You say there is little
variety i'll eyes, save some that are Il trihe
larger than others, some are black, some gray,
some blue But of IL 1.-THE differences in this

eye, set near the brain and III some sort ten

admircr Of Sc, but from the point OF scientific
obser ,ation, when | say that the revelations
OF physical, mental and affectiOEal condition
made by the eye are as remarkable as any
phenomena OF nature.
Take, for instance, young, sensitive per
son Of cousumptive habit, III ordinary health
and IL i0'5e. Wafeh the eyes Of such one,
and You viii see IS pretty a specimen Of ph0s
phorlc light as tlat which plays about GER
tain flowers III full bloom. The state Of ner
vOuS excitement uses up the phosphorus Of
the body pretty fast, and it will flash behind
the eyclnls ike the FIRE on summer waves.
Botanists and other people have seen the
mimic flashes u white lily three days blown

summer right. l have seen as literal a fash
lee between the eyeld5 OF a lad OF 25, dead
in love as he could be with an absent woman.
He was nervous. Il trltlc poetic and over
strung, his eyes dllated, changeful after gilt
teIiug like Il cats In short, human bat

LII one case besides, that OF the Italian actor
Rossi, | have noticed the same flash which
appeared to leap frSnl the eye, not play like
sheet lightning with it. But then ltOssi was

HENDERSON, n. c.. THURSDAY NOVEMBER 8. 1888
WERE ! A BIRD.

Were a bird, oh. where my set wings, wkitber
Would We be soaring to find some shelter blest:
Far from these scenes that keep our lodgings
hithcr
Filled with the shadow of an infinite unrest.
Would there no pain be mixed with every pleas
ureI
Any scented sweet with savage thorn astrew?
JOY know no tear, solace shed her treasure,
IL that distant somewhere that ye would waf.
us 10?
Hope tries her wings and lifts her vaultng pin
ions.
Eager through this vey to be away-away;
Strong in the faith that ~ those far dominions
There will be the finding of some sweet ideal
day.

Dudes and Their Canes.

The silver knobs on dude canes are grow
!hg bigger and bigger every week. A poor
little imitation cockney was seen the other
day trying to patronze the univ rse through
half a pair of eyeglasses and to extract
nOurishment from the head of a cane that lie
could hardly get between bis teeth, and the
attempt gave him the appearance of being in
a state of strangulation. A few canes have
appeared with oXldiZed silver heads that, if
solid, must weigh five pounds at least, and
the impo6sibility of nursing from them must
fill the soul of the dude with misery. They 10
say it is becoming the correct thing to have
an imported valet to toll along the streets be
hind the dude and carry his cane for him,
the physical 9J4wers OF that CHOICE mortal
being too severely taxed by the weight to
allow him to carry it himself. But sup
pose the dude can neither afford valet nor
suck his cane; what will poor dude do then,
poor thing?-Brooblyn Eagle Rambler"
