Very SAD OCCURRENCE

As said by the GOLD LEAF last week.
the Boyle affair in Raleigh is very
sad occurrence. 1t is to be greatly de
plored and for many reasons: For
the unfortunate lady herself, the man
who has fallen SO low, the good of the
church, and the well being of society.
Such conduct on the part of any man
is horrible enough, and while the
crime is all the same, no matter by
whom committed, when the principal
in such high handed outrage against
both God and man. the purity OF the
church and the chastity of woman, Is
one clothed in the embems of Heav-
ems own livery, though an impostor,
it is more shocking still, and must be
farther reaching in its effect. The
Durham Tobacco Plant speaks in this
dispassionate and sensible manner
about the Boyle affair. 1t says
We do not intend to discuss the
guilt or innocence of the accused, but
we cannot refrain from expressing the
sadness and horror i: gives us to hear
Of man, occupying the position he
did, being accused of having commit
ted the most damnable sin in the cata
logue of crimes.
This crime, when committed by a
man of low standing and debased posi-
ton in society, is horrible enough, but
when committed by person standing
high in society, the associate men and
ladies above all by man who wears
the emblems of the holy order of God S
ministers, it is most terrible: 1t is
heart rending. Men are not infalli-
BILE, and entering the ministry does
not make them SO, still people are
taught to look up to them as exam
piers of moral life, and when one OF
these falls, especially when SO low as
this, it gives the cause of christianity a
blow, it even staggers the the faith OF
many christians, and tends to make
callous. 1t gives one sad sympathy
for that church, which necessarily suf-
fers throughout its whole body by com
mission of such deed by one wear
ing its holy orders of priesthood.
Commenting on the same the Tar
boro Sontheraer says this:
An occurrence like this fills the heart
of the right minded man and woman
with woe, unspeakable.
The worldly portion of commune
ty rolls such fragrant acts as sweet
morsels under their tongues, and nod
their heads with an 81 told you So
look.
Thank Heaven, one black sheep, or
two, doesn't darken the whole flock
Nor does the professor of religion
abate one jot or title of his faith and
ardor in the .gyeafeause.
In Protestant community, that has
small faith in the potency of confes-
sions, the blow must injure the Catho-
lie cause, though it should not. Pro-
testant denominations have now and
then fearful slips of similar charac-
ter with their ministers.
But the church still survives in its
purity.
While Boyle will be unirocked, his
example should be kept constantly in
mind and the fact remembered that
strong drink fired and impelled him
to this devillish and accursed deed.

When the conductor OF the Lansing

to a man not roady with his ticket.
He felt in all his pockets, searched the

"Of course. Nobody can ride free

TAKING ON TINTS.
The following lines were suggested, a few
evenings since, by the weirdly picturesque
and beautifully tinted sky at sunset;
The dome far above in tranquil extends,
A covering alike to all nations,
Its billows rolling noiselessly on lends
Shade and dew to Its creations.
Daylight fingers yet awhile,
Eve follows close in its waking,
Here shadows ilt around in smile,
There take forms grotesque and soul
quaking.
Beyond distant hills furnace CLOVIS,
Radiating beams of golden light,
Uniting the heavens before il goes
With celors inimitable and splendors
bright
Yonder river white with rage in its fastness
Comes madly splurging and splashing,
Leaping high DER pillows in Its rashness
Then calmly spreads resting from lashing.
Aside lofty mountain holds sway
In blueness ominous with threats,
Through its side shoots bright ray,
And our eyes to gold and silver II treats.
The distant field has Its knobs
Shining with gems and nccky with fiints,
Variegated the flowers appear to the eye
that rolls
Watching the sky taking on tints.

A farmer not many miles from Maine

death. Happening in the store of one
of our business men, the other day, the

piled the old man. II guess he did.

sympathy from the merchant were sud-
denly drowned by the roars of laughter
from the bystanders.
