AS WE VIEW IT.

ronder landscape regal In it's splendor
smiling with a look half proud. half tender.
Seems n shrouded corpse when dense fogs roll
life is glorious when the rays of duty
Shine upon IL from a loving soul;
But its hills and glades are robbed Of beauty
II selfish mist hangs DER the whole
Scorning this great fact, the base man loses
Truths best diamond priceless IL he knew Il;
life is good or bad, as each one chooses
Life is as we view it.
Wanting wealth OF heart, the miscr's treasure.
Now too small to purchase lofty pleasure,
Soon will be deathbed pang, or worse.
Love, contentment, goodness, hopes ethereal
Make the peasant, slender though his purse.
Vastly richer than the whole material
Star illumed- unconscious universe.
Mental wealth, whose very touch entrances.
Boundless lies for all whose minds pursue 1t;
Man is rich or poor, Just as he fancies:
Wealth Is as we view it.
Life's fame, aickering feebly I'm the strongest
Oft blown out is soon burnt at the longest;
Frail we live: we're nothing In our graves.
Almost awful now. yet daily heightening,
Is our power, that rides the foaming waves,
Weighs the planets, grasps the leaping lightning.
Changes fire and air to docile slaves.
Man can humble Nature If she dares him,
Set her some hard task, and make her do It.;
Man is weaker than tho steed that bears him:
knowing not where Truths first step commenceA
Since the sages say our very senses
Teach but fictions. dark we live aud die.
Priceless thoughts that time in its long travels
Through past ages gathered open lilo;
Science shows the cipher that unravels
Natures secrets, writ on earth and sky,
But the wondrous volume spread before us
Needs eternity to read right through it.
All is darInessi Floods of light float DER usi
Truth Is as We view It.
One faint gasp. and then the low death rattlel
Thus we end it, beaten In the hattie,
Losing all things with our parting breath.
Life has glories, but intensely brighter
Is the glory of a noble death,
When the soul, its load each moment lighter.
Needless now Of what the vain world SAITH
Seeing visions, pain sublmely sconing,
Feels the icy hand. yet dares to WOO it:
Death Is starless night, or radiant morning:
Death Is as we view It.

to BiltnOre.
G. W. Payne and Capt. McBee have
taken contract to build three miles OF
railroad for the Vanderbilt estate and
work will be begun at once.
The road will start at the Junction and
run south parallel with the Henderson
turnpike. Branching off it will run
through Shiloh and then nearly due west
to the site of the house. 1t will be neces.
sary to build several trestles and make a
lew grades. While the greater part OF
the grade will Ike good part will be very
heavy. Sixty pound steel rails will be
used. Two hundred hands will be neces.
sary to complete the road in the time
stipulated in the contract-sixty days
from the beginning-and only free labor
will be employed.
1t is estimated that the road will cost
$4,000. After the house has been built
and the necessary improvements made
it will he torn up. 1t will Ike used only to
carry heavy timbers and stone to the
site.
This is but one of the many features
which MIR. Vanderbilt has adopted for
the improvement Of his estate, but in
itself it is stupendous.

At the evening service in the opera hall
the large room was crowded to its ut
most. Prof. II. L. Smith, Of Davidson
College, delivered an eloquent address on
THE Relation Of the Y. NJ. c. A. to the
Church"
The address was a remarkably clear
statement Of the reasons why the associa-
tion should have the hearty support OF
all evangelical churches, and an answer
to the objections which had been raised
by some clergymcn and other Christian
workers. BY vote of the convention it
was decided to have this address printed
separately for distribution throughout

The credential committee reported that
there were represented in the convention

After resolutions Of thanks had been
adopted by the convention, Mr.. l.. A.
Coulter, the State secretary, conducted

A number of ladies' Of Asheville hav,
proposed a scheme to some Of the city
officials which will no doubt meet with
their approval. 1t is for the benefit O
fallen women. Heretofore the unfortu
mates have been fined, and II unable tC
pay have been forced to remain in jail
The laws of North Carolina distinctly
state that women in city jails shall not
be worked on the street nor perform any
labor usually given to men. For this rea
son and because there is no other labor
required the women have had to accept
the situation and remain in Jail until
their term expired. This has not tended
to make them see the error Of their ways
to any great extent and they leave the
bastile to return to their former lives.
Several ladies Of the city propose to do
away with this plan. Their idea is to
build house Of refuge where the culprits
may be sent and cared for and where
they can do light work during the time
of their incarceration. 1t isthought that
many of them can be redeemed from their
lives OF shame, and by the plan proposed
by the women who have the matter in
charge, the home will be self supporting.
The city officials. whose duty it is to
deal with this class of women, heartily
endorse the proposed action and have
promised their support in behalf Of it.
At the next meeting Of the board Of
county commissioners it will be presented
and IL their action is favorable the ques.
ton will be agitated in the city.
The work which it is proposed to have
performed will be light, and the women
will be guarded by overseers. Atpresent
they are, in summer months, given the
freedom Of a pound in the rear Of the Jail
but now they are forced to remain in Jail
until their term expires.

The News-Observer says, Now let us
have the association for the use Of North
Carolina made goods" This is right,
and in the right spirit. 1t suggests no
boycot for the products Of other States,
but it does suggest the preference to
what is made at home. And such pref.
crencc would be stimulus which would
make itself felt, not only in increased
production. but in increased excellence.
1t was the encouragement given by de.
mand for American production which
has given the Northern manufacturers

We are pleased to see that Winston is
aroused to the necessity Of good hotel.
With all its progress, with all its great
and prosperous business, with all the
great crowds continually attracted to it,
its hotel accommodations have always
been limited, not to say indifferent; and
visitors have had no inducement to pro-
long their stay. The omission. IL 1t has
been such, is about to be supplied; aud Il
large hotel is to be erected in the west
end of the town, on the highest ground,
worthy of the place. The structure is to
cost 500, 900, and it is to be surrounded
by park Of twenty-seven acres, already
covered with handsome forest growth,
and which will be adorned with drives,
etc. The prospect is Il fine one. command
ing clear though distant view OF the
Pilot and Sauraton mountains, Winston
being the most easterly of our towns
which has the enjoyment Of - mountain
addition to beautiful landscape.
The chief point is that Winston al
length appreciates at its true value the
Importance of a large and tirst-class
hotel. The travelling public Of the present
day will be contented with nothing less |;
they will be attracted by nothing less,
they will be detained by nothing less.
Going forth like the dove from Noah's
ark, they will return from whence thev
came, because they find no place to rest
the sole of their feet. The ravens might
Ike content with less of comfort and con
venience. But hotels, to thrive, must
cater to oestablished and recognized tastes.
When they do so, they become institu-
tions, focal points of great local interest
and prosperity. One great hotel will bt
sure to stimulate the erection of others.
North Carolina. in nearly all its parts,
can be made the great halfway house for
the Northern travel in its winter and
summer fittings. More than that, other
towns in addition to Asheville can be
made all the year round stopping places,
provided the accommodations OF good
hotels and boarding houses are provided
and judiciously maintained.

A young man in Wilkcsbarrc, Pa.
went out and hanged himself" after his
first quarrel with his young wife. Itwas
perhaps u silly, certainly a criminal,
method Of expressing his first real disap-
pointmcnt; because in suicide there are
nuia vcstigia retrorsum. 1t is u final
and irrevocable plunge into the unknown
with no chance for reconsideration.
But allowance may be made for the rude
dissipation Of dream Of perfect happi.
ness and harmony with one so loved as the
Young wife, one upon whom ideal hopes
OF bliss were centered. 1t was because they
were ideal. not real, that the young man
was disappointed. He had fixed his be.
lief upon perfection that has no exis.
tencc. He found Oh the outset of his
matrimonial journey the rocks that lay
in the common pathway Of life. Their
discovery was an unexpected and cruel
revelation; he icll upon them and was
crushed. Let us not be too harsh toward
him or to similar cases. II his beliefs
were more general. there would be fewer
disappointments, because belief In the
possibility Of perfect harmony might
bring It about. Every ideal has its ma
tural or moral basis; and to believe that
men and women may be good or sweet.
tempered is often to make them so.
