THE LONG, LONG AGO.

The short winter day is drawing swift to a close With the sigh Of a storm in the air, And the oak tree makes moan as it feels the
 chill breath
 On its limbs lying naked and bare. Poor old trec' from my window linear its com
 plaInt-
 See it's limbs as they toss to and fro, While memory goes back to the dayS always
 fair
 The days of the long, long ago. Like the ghosts of dead storms in their silent
 approach,
 Now the snow-1al1es go sl1urrying by, And night, the black mourner, comes after
 a-pace,
 While she spreads her dark pail in the sky. There's no gleam up above whence the sun
 light hath fed, There's no gift in that pale hanging bow, But the sun always shone in the days that are
 sped,
 In the days of the long, long ago. Meath the oak tree we fingered that fair sum
 mer tune
 Till the sun had gone down in the west, And the soft evening breeze md the leaves
 overhead Lulled the birds and the crickets to rest. 'Till the stars lit the sky and afar Tn the east Hung suspended the moons silver bow, But the stars and the moonbeams will never
 more gleam
 With the light of the long, lcng ago. Oh, my God! from the desolate winter around Lift the vail of this shadowy wool Bring me back but one moment the light that
 is dead,
 With my love of the long long ago.

 Two forlorn little faces were pressed against the window, as four blue eyes looked out at the snow, which was having q merry froiic all to iself, playing mischievOus pranks on those who ventured out of doors, without respect to age or person.

She said she'd be here. sure, by the time we'd played all the games. ls'pose we might begin and play 'em all over again." she added. soberly. flattening her nose against the window-pane, until even papa. who loved his little daughter 80 de lrly. would scarcely have recognized that q'reer-looking face as belonging to his Daisy.
 T don't want 10 play g1mes l want 10 go out and snowball, " said Dan. impatiently. Mrs. Brown never lets mamma come home when she runs in just for minute.
 But yoa mustn't go ont in the snow, Dannie, Mamma said not"
 '.She meant you. Course girls can't go without getting sick. Girls ain't biz and stout like boys.
 Dun stretched up to his full height as he made this speech, and put on a very wise expression.

 You do," admitted Daisy, faintly. "and we're both just of an age; but Pm the tallest, anyhow"
 You cheated. you know you did!" retOrted Dan.
 And then an ominous silence fell between the little brother and sister who seldom quarreled with each other
 Dan tried to whistle-he was just learning how. and imagined he coull whistle any tune-but somehow the whistle stuck in his throat and his lips forgot the proper pucker.
 Daisy didn't even try to appear un- concerned; for how could she. with the tcll-tale tears filling her eyes and running oyer. making damp little spots on her white apron frontP
 Pretty soon Dan saw the bright tear drops, and his conscience upbralded him as being the cause of his little sisters grief

 "Oh. don't I. thought! exclaimed Daisy, with sunshiny smile driving the shadow from her face. One sweep of her chubby hand across her eyes. and all trace of tears had disappeared.

Curious Superstition.

A most peculiar case ot superstition exis;s in York township. four miles south of New Philadelphia. O. A we'll known farmer nam"d Miller has always kept fine lot of cows and made a great deal of excellent butter. Of late years he has what he terms "witches in the cream" giving him. self and family great deal of trouble and great loss. It happens that about every two weeks when they put the cream in the churn it begins foaming over the top and refuses to gather. No amount of churning has any effect toward gathering the butter, and the cream is taken out and thrown far away. The family attribute tho trouble to witches brought on thr ough the agency of woman in the neigh borhood through spite. It is 2 strange case. --P.ttSbargb DiSpGtot;

An Ideal View of Life in the HospitaD1e Blue Grass State. A Chicago man who recently visited Louisville, Ky, was much surprised at the social customs of the city. ''1 went around" said he, ''to call on an old friend of mine. I found him very busy, shipping goods to a dis tant village, but remarking that nat ure had taught patience 10 the will lagers, announced that he was ready to run with me.
 Run with mer exclaimed.
 Of course. Come on, and we Il stir up the boys.
 AS we were walking along the street we passed a wholesale house, where large number of men were rolling barrels and handling boxes. My friend, poking his head into the doorway, yelled:
 "Come on. boys
 'The book-keepers threw down their pens. the barrel-rollers turned away from their work and the bald headed supervisor of the entire work came from the counting-room; and every one of them followed us to a saloon. Then we went to the court house, and my friend poked his head in and said:
 Boys, got time to step out?' Every pen was dropped. and we went over to a saloon.
 "'Do you know the Governor of this State?' my friend asked.
 T replied that I did not Then, , said he, we will go up to Frankfort and see him.
 "'Are you not too busy?'
 "'Of course not. Pleasure before business is the only correct theory of | life
 We went to Frankfort, and, with out going to a hotel, went straightway to the State-house. My friend intro- duced me 10 the Governor and all the State officers, and. just as expected my friend to say come on, boys the | Governor remarked that we'd better take a stroll. In moment scores oi doors were opened. One old fellow who came from the auditing depart ment, and who was putting on his coat as he trotted along. was asked by an old negro watchman if there was any thing the matter.
 The Governor has issued procla- mation, the old fellow replied.

Nothing to Be Proud OF.

The Raleigh NeaOs, Observer of
yesterday contains the following,
which we copy for the purpose of
pointing moral"
GA disabled Confederate soldier
arrived in this city yesterday from
Burke county. He said his name
was Good, and he was on his way
| to the Southern Confederate Sol
diers' Home at Richmond, Va. A
ticket to Weldon was secured for
him here and Chief of Police Heartt
gave him n letter to the police Of
Weldon requesting them to send
him on his way"
Here is q disabled Confederate
soldier" of North Carolina, permit
ted to beg his way from point to
point in order to reach ''home"
established by the humanity, the
Christianity, the philanthropy of
tue people of another State in their
State. This homa, lsns not yet re
fused any disabled applicant from
any of the Southern States, yet the
burden of support has been left to
that State and people to bear alone.
An appeal was made during the sits
ting of the last legislature of North
throlina for aid to simply pay the
aetual expenses, per capita, of those
disabled North Carolina Confeder>
a;es then cared for by this Rich
mond Home This appeal was
communicated by Gov. Lee to Gov.
Scales, who at once ansmitted it
to the legislature with an earnest
message commencing it to the IA
vOrable consideration Of the repre-
sintatiYes OF the people. If we
rtcollect correctly the appeal stated
there were eigat disabled North
CArolina veterans cared for at the
Home. The appeal Of the two eX-
e(utives in behalf of the few disabled
soldiers of our own State made the
same impression upon that distin-
gtished and patriotic association Of
Christian representatives that u
snowflake would make upon the
bosom of the Gulf of Mexico. Vir-
gihians, who suffered most by the
wal, are coolly and coldly left to
furnish a home for the soldier
Of the Old North State; the
representatives of over a mill
lion and a-half of people rep
resenting over two hundred and
fifty million of property, could not
dare '!face the music" and appro-
pirate one thousand dollars per AZ
mum to help pay Tor their OWE peo~
pie whom they will not provide for
at home, but whom another people
open their home to receive.
Mr.. Good will be received and
cared for by the Richmond Home,
without expense to North Carolina;
but 1t is not fact that any true OF
honorable North Carolinian can
contemplate with pride.

Point lace front for stockings are
imported by the pair, and are to be
appliqucd upon fine silk stockings
in white and pale colors.
An English shoe recently im-
ported is made very high and has a
broad heel, the toe being ornament
ed with an odd flat bow of kid,
wrinkled and sewed down securely.
The most costly stockings inn
ported this spring have hand en-
broidered stripes showing roses with
buds and foliage, or they are of a
solid shade, dotted with little bou-
quets of the gayest colors.
Pointed toes and narrow soles
now mark what is called cheap
shop work, while fir>t-class walking
boots, slippers and house shoes fit
the leet tor which they are designed
and are made with the incest de,
tail of Sc wing and finish.
The growing taste for ornament
is seen in hosiery. Plain stockings
of any superior material are abun-
dant, and the petty labcrs of fashion
are increased by the new order of
things, which marks stockings of
as great importance as the coiffure.
Handsome stockings of dressed
silk newly imported are in all the
reds, as well as tan, olive, drab,
mastic, greenish sage, cream, flesh
color, blre, pearl, and tawny drab or
dull ecru. There are sometimes
stripes or infusi ons Of rich lace upon
the ankle or instep, inclosed by a
border of clock work resembling
the lace.
