A LEGEND.

There has come to my mind legend, thing /
had half forgot.
And whether read it or dreamed it, ah, WELL it
matters not.
1t is said that in heaven at twilight great bell
softly swings,
And man may listen and hearken to the wonder
full music that rings.
If he puts from his hearts inner chamber all the
passion, pain and strife.
Heartache, and weary longing that throb in the
pulses of life
If he thrust from his soul all hatred. all thoughts
of wicked things.
He can hear in the holy twilight how the bell of
the angels rings.
And think there IS in this legend, il we open
our eyes to see,
Somewhat of an inner meaning, my friend, to
you and me-
Let us look in our hearts and question, Can pure
thoughts enter in
To soul If it be already the dwelling of thoughts
of sini
So then let US ponder little let us look in our
hearts and see
If the twilight bells of the angels could ring for
us-you and me.

a mllliner's shop in my native place, and
one OF the most essential gentleman in
my recollection was servant. Character
is the great acquisition of this life, it is
| your stay and staff in your self-support.
IN woman it counts for everything,
next to real, unaffected religion; moth
ing equals that, and that, indeed, is the
foundation of character, the rock on
which one you can safely build.
One more thing to the girl compelled
to seek her own living: Do not look at
work as penalty, a terror, a necessity
to be lamented and bewailed. Work is
the real blessing of life. know of no
more pitiable object than the man or
woman who has "nothing to do and
plenty of time to do il in" For
such person life has no SAVIOR, no real
enjoyment; the bread you earn even by
the hardest toll is sweeter than gift or
an inheritance. The curse of Eden was
under its disguise gift of God. If you are
| young, and strong, and we'll, labor-not
beyond your strength-will soon become
a pleasure to you; the book, the picture,
the ornament you have saved up your
spare cents to buy will have value to
you no millionaire's costliest possession
ever gave him.
once knew young woman so rich
that she could not spend her income on
herself, say, ooh! it is so stupid not to
want anythingm pitied that girl far
more than shall ever pity you, my
dear. She was tired Of luxury, she had
nothing to expect or desire. She
learned as she grew older that the power
OF giving to those who had wants and
needs that could not be gratified, was
some compensation for the WEAKNESS Of
OF her money. Her work was giving;
yours is earning.
| must add one word here, beyond the
subject perhaps, but too important to
omit. | beg of every girl going out into
the working world: Take care of your
health. 1t is your only capital; without
1t you can never work. Do not be so
anxious to look well that you set aside
warm under-clothing for outside show.
Do not eat trash for your lunch; keep
dry and warm, and use wholesome food.

solutely necessary to working girl.

UNIVERSITY EXTENSION COURSE.
Prof. Moulton Inaugurates the Movement
by Lecture ON "NIllton, the Greatest of
Englishmen."

Prof Mouiton Inaugurates the Movement
by a Lecture on .HIilton, the Greatest OF
Englishmen."
Prof. r. G.. Moulton of England, de-
liyered the first of series of three lee
lures, which will inaugurate the Will
mington centre of the university extern
sion movement, in the auditorium of
the high school on Monday afternoon.
| The audience was large, composed
mainly of women and was exceedingly
attentive, following every utterance
| with the closest interest.
| Prof. Moulton may be generally des-
| ignated as a typical Britisher. He is a
tritle above the medium size, heavily
| bearded and employs the accent and
infection of an Englishman in his de-
siyerances. His voice is mellifluous of
great power and always pleasant. No
notes are employed in the discourse and
the lecturers main claims to oratory or
public speaking are his ease and earn
estness, his terseness and the happy EN-
ployment of the exact words to EN-
phatically and succinctly express him
self. Ills hours lecture was devoted to
the argumentative theme, Milton the
greatest of Englishmen," and in that
short period he impaired wonderful
amount of information, in a manner
that was at once impressive and forci-
Bile.
In substantiation of the veracity of the
title OF his lecture he presented the seve-
raj fields of endeavor in which Milton
stood in the front rank subdividing the
treatment of his theme into the poets
personal beauty; as a politician, as a
statesman, as an administrator, as a CON
traYerslonalist, as an inventor of lam
guage, as poet, and as a man living an
ideal life. To each of these claims he
brought ample substantiation, and pre-
scented the poet in new light to the
casual student Of history and literature.
AS an administrator he measured Mil
tons abilities toa great extent by the in
tense hatred of his political rivals, and
accredited him with being the first man
to make England felt in the field of
philosophy. The lecturer pronounced |
Millions Paradise Lost" as the best type |
OF earnest poetry clothed in the finest |
classics of the English language.
Prof. Moulton's discourse was
scholarly, polished and tinished and his |
pronunciation admirable Every phrase
proclaimed the student and ripe scholar.
The event was literary treat immeas-
urably enjoyed.
As the missioner of the university exc
tension work, Prof. Moulton gave t.
the important movement an impetus
which must even enlarge the number of
its deyotees. His lecture was of close
analytical character and presented the
theme in such light as to heget active
inquiry and whet the mental appetite
for wider study. Hence the impor-
.ant work is inaugurated under the most
favorable auspices and the public can
not fail to find in the movement instruc-
ion and enjoyment.

the action of the New Orleans people in
the strongest terms the general feeling
is that only dignitied and deliberate
action should be taken by the colony.
A call for a mass-meeting to be
held tonight has been issued. Two
local Italian papers demand PREPARATION

Secretary Blaine. The police say that
the Malta once flourished in this city,

Representative Smith has in his pos.
session o bill, to be shortly introduced
into the State Legislature, providing for
the construction of new hotel in Wit
mington. The act to be asked for is one

OF number of local business men and
capitalists to increase the Wilmington
hotel accommodation by the erection
of q handsome hostelerie To have a
handsome, cosy and finely appointed
