THE SECULAR PULPIT.

Build not the temple of thy lite
OF earthly things alone,
But add the things OF heavenly worth
And Christ the corner stone.
-[Karl Hugh.
Hope conquers our sorrows and perse-
verance our obstacles.
He who is greatly true is also truly
great.
DO not neglect the little deeds of help
to men. They are life's comforts.
Learn to rejoice with the fortunate, as
well as to weep with the mourners. Thus
you will cease to be jealous.
Mankind blesses him who is kind, for
kindness is the gem cleaning among the
common stones of Life Karl Hugh.
Every penitent tear that falls from the
eye springs up flower of comfort.
Measure not men by Sundays, without
regarding what they do all the week af-
ter.
Spiritual as well as temporal blessings
are conditioned; and we may pray for
them, confidently expecting to receive
them, II we submit to the conditions upon
which they are offered, but not other
wise. BE careful, then, to note the con-
dition upon which any spiritual blessing
Is based, and submit to the condition, and
the blessing will be forthcoming.-[W
ID. Moore.
Abandon yourself to His care and guild
ance, as a sheep In the care of a shep-
herd, and trust Him utterly. No matter
though you may seem to yourself to be
In the very midst of a desert with moth
ing green about you, inwardly or out
wardly, and may think you will have to
make long journey before you can get
. into the green pastures. Our Shepherd
will turn that very place where you are
into green pastures, for He has power to
make the desert rejoice and blossom as a
rose.-[H. w. s.
No evil is permitted 20 befall thee, but
what may be productive of much great

My text, beloved, is taken from the
words Of the great Galilian teacher:
Lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven.
We have just been passing through the
season of ingathering. the farmer has
filed his barns with his harvcsts and the
housewife has carried In from the frosts
the fruits Of the garden. The squirrels
are laying up their store of nuts for the
Winter and the field mouse has taken her
toll from the farmers grain. All the wise
creatures Of God, some guided by instinct
and others by higher wisdom, have gar
nered the stores OF rIpened fruits and
grains. But what Is 1t all for? There is
q Winter coming and the people OF the
land and the beasts of the field are lay
Ing up treasure against the day Of need
and cold and storm. And we are all wise
who so do, you say.
Verify ir Ia the truth, but have you
ever thought Of another ingathering and
another Winter time which Il coming, the
Winter Of the soulf The great teacher,
Christ, bids men In our text to lay up
treasures IN Heaven. We al feel that

Ar.EssoNAL APPEAL.

To every true democrat In Halifax
and other counties, we make per
sonal appeal. The campaign will
soon open and it promises to be a
warm one. TIE DEMOCRAT is IN
for the right.
Conventions are being held in the
counties and townships. Resolutions
are being sent IN for publication g,
ard We are glad to publish every
thing that can in any way enhance
the interest Of the democratic party.
But We wish our readerP, and many
who are not our readers, to remember
that 1t costs q great deal more to run
a newspaper during campaign than
any other time. 1t costs US more
hard, personal labor, it demands the
editors time more exclusively in the
ottice-f0r we must sec all Communi-
Cations-It costs us more aCtrsl
money. for we have to send out cX'
ira copies many times for the good
OF the party.
Ifour course for democratic sue
cess has not been earnest and pro
gressiyc it has not been because we
did not wish to make it so. We have
used our time, Ond what We could
spare Of OFT means, freely for the
party's success. And now we ask
democrats or this county especially
aud any 0thcr- who may feel SO in
clincd to pay UP arrears if possible
and renew subscriptions three or six
months ahead, and get others TO sab
scribe also.
iFc know this is a herd seaaon K
make an appeal for money; but
friends, great demands are made o

WHY III GROWS.

The secret of the growth and
enterprise of WinstOn-Salem Is
found in the fact that its people
stand together for all public i'm
provements. There are no cutters
in Winston-Salem. Men don't
refuse to go into a new enterprise
because they fear they will not be
big Ike. They pail together, and
bury differences. If all our towns
would emulate their good example,
there would be more prosperity.
AS an example of how they stand
together. we notice that upon the
proposition to expend 100000 III
improvements MT SINGLE VOTE
WAS CAST AGAINST IT.-ChT0Htcle,
TIE DEMOCRAT hopes to see such
unvarying unanimity among the
citizens of Scotland Neck. Ordina-
rily our people are very liberal IN
supporting every worthy enterprise
that promises profit to the town
aud community.
We expect to see Scotland Neck
one of the Invest town i'll Eastern
Carolina, and that right soon. We
are already one of the prettiest,
most moral and intellectual towns OF
equal population in the State.
Our people see the unfolding
light of a new day of prosperity
which has been dawnlng slowly,
but surely, for two years.
Now, hands and hearts and
pockets and brains and all efforts
together, and we shall see things
lively soon.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

From our Regular Corresponding
WASHINGTON, D. G.. June q, 1890.

course It has pursued "from such q
time that the memory of man run

The constitution authorizes and
encourages the president to frequent

tariff and silver questions were SO
occult, and the intTicacies and inter
csts of his political position SO great
and various that the President chose

he managed to have his exact ideas
on both questions conveyed % the
prominent republican members. But,
in spite of that caution, his Own
party has made the present admins

Outcome of the OsShea Divorce Case Has
the Eject cf Retiring the Irish
Leader.
LONDON, Nov. 1S.-The hearing of evil
dence for the prosecution in the O'Shea
divorce case was resumed by Justice
Butt in the divorce court. The defense
still being unrepresented either by the
principals thereto or by their counsel,
the case was placed in possession of the
special jury by Justice Butt in few
words explanatory of the rules of the
law and evidence maintaining in suits
such as they had presented for their con-
sideration. Very shortly thereafter the
jury rendered their verdict. 1t finds
the respondent, Mrs. O'Shea, to have
been guilty of adultery as alleged, and
dismisses the counter charge of con-
nivance in the crime made by Mrs.
O'Shea against her husband. A decree
of divorce, with the costs of the suit
and the custody of the younger children
is, therefore, awarded to the petitioner,
Capt. O'Shea.
ParnelI aiust Resign.
LONDON, Nov. 19.-The 0'Shea revela-
tions overpower all other topics and
fully account in public opinion for the
prolonged efforts made to put off the
trial. The Daily Telegraph, which is
said to have the largest circulation of
any English newspaper, says Parnell
must, for the present, at least, cease to
lead the Irish National party. If he re-
signs the leadership, commission
headed by Mr. Justin Nc Carly will take
charge of Irish. affairs.
Parnell May Marry Mrs. O'Shea.
LONDON, Nov. fS.-The latest report
current in connection with the O'Shea
scandal is that Mr.. Parnell will marry
Mrs. O'Shea as soon as she is clear from
her husband. The ramors that Mr.. Par
nell has wife to whom he was secretly
united do not find any credit and no
substantial ground has been given for
them. Sir Evelyn Wood who, although
a near relative is not On the best of
terms with Mrs. O'Shea, has openly
stated that as a man Of honor Parnell
could take but one step to make the
public condone his conduct and that was
to marry Mrs. O'Shea.
