The colored people are dissatisfied at
the political situation, and the masses
have concluded to let politics alone. The
best colored leaders are advising them to
"slip their hands out of the gloves OF
politics for awhile" This advice has been
given to all the negroes in the State and
is intended to apply to those who so as
we'll as to those who remain.
At first it was thought that the negroes
could secure enough money to pay their
way to their new homes, and that they
would not have to wait until the farmers
sent for and the agents came after them.
A fourth, or 100000, would go at once,
had they the means. So powerful is the
desire to leave that it is now proposed,
Mr.. Ferebee states, that agents shall be
sent North and ask for aid in paying for
sportation. The Executive Com,
mittee of the Emigration Association
meets in few days and may accept this
plan.

Mr.. Ferebes asserts positively that the
majority of his race desire to leave here
anS to go more rapidly than they can be
moved. If they had money to pay their
fare fifty thousand would leave in ten
days. He says that from this (Wake)
county fifteen hundred negroes have gone
and that four thousand more will 80 in
the next four months. The colored pop.
ulation of the county is about twenty. five
thousand. He expects sixty thousand to
leave the State in that time, and thinks if
ample transportation is offered rs many
as one hundred thousand will go. He
claims to be the originator of the move.
ment, and last May was elected State
Canvasser. He says that he has made
speeches in forty.three of the ninety.six
counties of the State in favor of it. There
is, be asserts, opposition to the movement
on the part of white people, who say
anything against it and even proceed to
acts OF violence, having chased out of
Johnston county last week man who
was urging the negroes 60. He asserts
further that white man named McMul-
lers, a druggist of Clayton, Johnston
County, was sent to Mississippi and
returned with stories that the people who
had emigrated there were starving and
dying. Mr.. Ferebee wished to 90 to On.
slow county, but could not get there, hav-
ing at Newberne been advised to stop.
The news as to the exodus is spread
mainly through the churches and schools
and he distributes thousands of circulars.
He will receive information as to the
number of persons wanted and will then
make up the number and send them to
the place at which they desire to locate.

Hone, in his liable Book" gives
an account of a lover who walked
three miles every evening for four
teen years to court his sweetheart,
besides lodging her home after
church on Sunday afternoons. The
distance travelled was more than H.
900 miles. For the first seven he
only stood and courted in the door
porch, but for the remaining seven
he ventured to hang his hat on pin
in the passage and sit on the kitchen
settle. They were finally married
and lived so unhappily afterward
that their long, cool and deliberate
courtship failed to be of profit to
them. Such prolonged courtship
would not have suited Shirley, who
says:
/ do not love
Much ceremony. Suits in love should not
Like suits in law, be rocked from term to term.
According to the "Chronicles of
Ingerbe," VIM. the Conquerer con-
Quoted his wooing in semi civilized
manner. We are gravely told that
he met Matilda in the streets of
Bruges as she was returning from
mass. He seized her, struck her
several times with his fist, rolled her
in the dirt, thereby ''spoiling her
rich array" then rode off at tull
speed. Convinced OF the intensity
of his ardor, Matilda subsequently
consented to marry him
The brothers Jacob and William
Grimm, authors of the wonderful
fairy stories, concluded that one or
the other should marry. Oficious
friends found suitable lady for Jacob
but he declined to do the courting,
so VIM. acted as his proxy. In doing
SO he tell in love with the lady him
self, which troubled him greatly, as
as he did not want to betray Jacob.
The later solved the dilemma by tell
ing William he could have her.
A Scotch beadle took his sweet

GLAMOR, ALL.
Cleyeland Says There is Nothing After All
in Ambition Gratihed.

President Cleveland is becoming
philosopher. He is learning to take de-
feat gracefully. In some respects he
reminds one of the old darkey, who,
upon catching a rabbit one day, stroked
the fur of the animal gracefully down
its back and sides, then smoothed the
fur along its neck and down the legs,
consoling himself as he did so with the
thought that the rabbit would be good
broiled, fried, stewed, souped, or made
into game pie. Finally the animal slip
ped the old fellows grasp and disap-
peared like magic from view. When
the negro realized that he had lost his
game he scratched his woolly pate and
CALCULATED: go it, you darned thing;
you are no good, anyway" A few days
ago Mr.. Cleveland was talking with an
intimate friend about his defeat in No
vember, and what the future held in
in store for him, when he said:
81 have never been as happy ir my
life as l have been during the last
month. The idea that am to be re-
lieved of all this harassment, to have no
more of those ofice-seekers and those
hammerirgs at the hands of Congress,
affords me inexpressible relief. For the
first time in four years I can breathe
easily. 1t is a real source OF satifaction
to look out upon the future, when 1
shall have none of the cares of office,
none OF the complaints of friends and
cuffs OF enemies. After all, the cares
OF the office outweigh of the benefits
and pleasures it brings. The Presidency
is position which offers great entice-
ment and arouses the highest ambition
of an American citizen, no matter what
his position in any place in life may be
but when he gets it he finds that it is all
glamor, and that it does not compen-
safe for one half the sacrifices he must
make In obtaining and holding it. l
shall embrace private life with greater
pleasure than l ever anticipated"

ing wonderful melody, and forth from
every corner came all the old rats and
young rats and mddle-aged rats, and
pretty gray mice, and the piper led
them to their end in the River Weser
One rat alone remained in the town, a
sad old creature, who, being deaf and
blind and stiff with years, could not fol-
low the piper's music There was great
rejoicing among the people as this de-
liverance became known. The preacher
was able to preach his Sunday sermon,
the school children to repeat their week
day multiplication tables, and the old
DANES to finish their evening gossip
without single interruption. Such a
peaceful state OF affairs had long been
unknown in "Hamelin town" The
City Council, however, having debated
during several sittiugs the possibility of
paying the piper less sum than they
had promised, finally decided not to
pay HIM anything, and the piper, in his
indignation resolved to bring as much
dismay among the people as he had
already brought delight. So, on bril- ght,
pleasant morning, when all the fathers
and mothers were safely locked in the
church Git being the custom to lock the
church doors that no belated worship
per should desturb the devotlons of
those assembled in proper season), the
Pied Piper went from house to house
playing softly, and the little children
ran out to meet him. crying, "Here is
our dear piper again" And they fol-
lowed him, dancing through the streets
and out OF the town to the koppen
mountain.
OF all that merry crowd, the only
child who came back was poor lame
girl, left behind because she was una
BILE by reason of her infirnlity to keep
up with the others.
As l fingered in "Hamelin town."
on this October afternoon in the last
October that ever was, met a bare
headed little girl with band of flowers
fastened sash fashion over her shoulder,
and from this wreath hung six heart
shaped cakes. l asked whether she
knew the story of the Pied Piper.
"Ach jaI" SAID the little girl, smil-
ing. 81 was mouse. was the smallest
mouse. To-day l am six years old !"
Therefore, although there is some
uncertainty concerning what may or
may not have happened six hundred
years ago, we know, without any doubt,
that on one certain 26th of June, not
long ago, this old tradition became a
living thing-for did not the bakers
wife say that her husbands cousin Will
helm was the Pied Piper, and has not
the birthday-child also told US that she
herself, as the smallest among the mice,
danced after him down to the river on
that very day7

QUIET WAYS ARE BEST.
BY JOSEPHINE POLLARD.

What's the use OF worrying,
OF hurryi ny,
And scurrying,
Everybody fiuIrying
And breaking up their rest?
When everything is teaching us,
Preaching, and beseeching us,
To settle down and end the fuss,
For quiet ways are best.
The rain that trickles down in showers
A blessing brings to thirsty flowers,
And gentle zephyrs gather up
Sweet fragrance from each brimming cup,
There's ruin in the tempest path;
There's ruin in a voice OF wrath;
And they alone are blest
Who early learn to dominate
Themselves, their violence abate,
And prove by their serene estate
That quiet ways are best.
Nothing gained by worrying
BY hurrying
And scurrying;
With fretting and with tiurrying
The temper's often LOST.
And In pursuit of some small prize
We rush ahead and are not wise,
And find the unwonted exercise
A fearful price has cost.
'Tis better far to join the throng
That do their duty right along;
Reluctant they to raise fuss
Or make themselves ridiculous.
Calm and serene in heart and nerve,
Their strength is always in reserve,
And nobly stands each test;
And every day, and all about,
BY scenes within, and scenes without,
We can discern, with ne'er doubt,
That quiet ways are best.
