THE HOMESTEAD SPRING.

How we'll remember the spring,
The homestead spring,
That gushed from the foot Of the hill
And ran in an oft-winding rill,
Through the beds Of sweet smelling mint
Between patches of tangled grass,
And caught, as it wandered. the CLINT
OF the sun DER its pebbly pass.
Then the sheltering springhouse, too,
| seem to view,
With its stone walls and messy caves
Half hidden in mulberry leaves;
The piggin that hung by the door,
The gourd vines that climbed up the
walls,
Pans of milk and of cream on the floor,
And platters of gold butter balls.
All, cool, limpid, chattering spring,
Time on its wing
Has carried me far, far away
From the scene of my childhood day,
But the charm of your crystal flow,
Sung low in the fullness of choice,
Is a treasure Of long ago,
Like the tones of a dear lost voice.
/ think that if fortune should bring,
Fit for king,
Her rarest of dust-coyered wines,
Her choicest of thbearing vines.
And offer my feyerish lips
Such draughtS that poet might sing
Their delights, would leave such sips
For one qaaf at the Homestead spring
How often iiiLhe cIose-crowded street,
In summers heat,
Or yet in the hot, dusty square,
Ficrcely kissed by the suns bright glare
Has the vision, distinct and clear,
Filled my soul like holy thing,
With its memories, sweet and dear
OF that far-Of old homestead spring.

NORTH CAROLINA MINERAL
WEALTH.
Rocky Mount ArgOnant. ]

North Carolina is the State Of all
others for rare minerals. The preface
of Bulletin ~ of the United States
Geological Survey says that since 1881
ga goodly number of species has been
added to the lists and that minerals
formerly supposed to be rare are now
found abundantly and have acquired
commercial Importance. "tor exam
pic, in response to an industrial de-
mafd, North Carolina has supplied
zircon and Menagite by the ton, and
samaiskite by the hundred weight, and
the output can be increased almost in
definitely. The State has also con-
tributed to science several new speCl
mems as vet not found elsewhere, and
some OF these, notably among the YER
miculites, are significant for the light
they shed upon other associated min
erals" The commercial demand re-
ierred to comes from the manufacturers
of the Welsbach light. This invention
consists in saturating fine film Of silk
with a solution Of these minerals. This
is placed over the flame of a common
Argand lamp, the heat of which de-
stroys the silk, but leaves the mineral
net work intact. The peculiar quail
ity of these minerals is that they alb
sorb certain of the colored rays, and
give pure, bright, white light, like
that of the sun. Since the Welsbach
| light has been introduced into London
it has displaced all other illumlnators
for the use of chemists and micro
scopists, for it is more steady and re-
liable than any other, bright daylight
not accepted. The one trouble thus
far has been that the film would not
bear transportation, but recently the
manufacturers think they have over
come this by incasing it in solldltled
petroleum. When the film, thus pro-
tected, is put in position, the flame
! quickly burns away the coating as we'll
as the silk. Should this prove to be
practicable, then the demands fol
these minerals will draw heavily on
North Cardinals great supply.

SATURDAY NIGHT.

There is a restful sound about the
mention of Saturday night.
To the rich man who Tolls around
all the week, trying to make the slow
hours pass somehow, it may not mean
much; but to the man who works ten
hours a day for six days out of the
seven it has significance. 1t means
rest. 1t means going to bed without
setting the alarm clock SO it will ring
out and get the house astir at five
o'clock. To the busy toilers in our
factories and workshops Saturday night
comes as blessed relief-a break in
weary monotony. The loose ends
of the weeks work are gathered up.
The housewife sets her goodly array of
eatables in the cupboard, and thinks,
"To-morrov l will rest" She draws
her basket of mending toward her
with inward satisfaction, and darns the
stockings and sews on the buttons
with sense of relief. She will rest
tomorrow The children will put
away their toys and their school
books, and gather round the fire to
read the weekly papers and look at
the pictures. Saturday night! No
more work for thirty-s six hours Thirty
six hours of sixty minutes each! No
more money making, no fretting, no
business cares, no trying to make
books balance, no scanning of stock
reports-nothing but rest! The far
mer looks about his well-hlled barns
and over his growing crops, and hangs
up his scythe in the apple tree by the
grindstone, and pays his hired man
his weeks wages, and congratulates
himself that another week is over. He
is tired; he has worked hard, his brow
is wet with the sweat by which it was
said of old, man should eat his bread
He has earned the rest which is coming.
He puts on clean shirt, combs his
wet locks, and. sits down to supper
which labor has given the right to eat,
and the ability to eat without killing
him with indigestion. And the way
the viands disappear is sight to make
a dyspeptic howl with envy. On Sat
urday night our friends drop in, and
talk over the news, and tell US wha,
is in the papers, and compare weather
notes and give us detailed history Of
how Aunt Maria had the toothache
and what the dentist said, and how
Uncle John had an attack of cholera
morbus, and what cured him. And we
urged them to stay longer, for it i:
Saturday night, we tell them and we
walk down to the gate with them, re
mark on the beauty of the night, and
wonder if it will rain tomorrow. Anc
we 60 to bed, tired, but happy, an6
reflect that we can lie in bed just a:
long as we please, for Tomorrow is Sun
day, and Sunday is the day of rest.

SOBER WORDS,
The following is taken from Ii

The following is taken from the
Raleigh Neus and Obserper:
The last Democratic State Conven-
ton accepted the resolutions presented
by the rcprese natives Of the Alliance,
and made them part of the Demo-
cratic platform. These resolutions
are now as much part of the Demo-
cratic platform as any other provision
in it. they were such as the Alliance
favored, and were readily assented to
in open convention. The Democrats
conducted the last campaign upon the
platform thus adopted, and won a
decided victory. That platform con-
tanned sound principles then, and we
have heard no objection to it. If read
carefully it will be found to demand
the mos: radical and sweeping reforms
Of our present financial system, a
principle the Democratic party has
contended for since the war, but has
not had the power to carry into effect,
because it has been in the minority.
But we understand that some mem
bers of the Alliance wish to amend
our platform by Incorporating into
| it the sub treasury bill, and that the
adoption of the subtreasury bill by the
next Democratic State Convection will
be insisted upon as sine qua non to
harmony.
The opposition to the sub,reasury
bill is not confined alone to the Demo
Gratis who are not in the Alliance.
There many Democratic Alliance men
who do not favor the measure and,
in the face of opposition by men who
are thus loyal, it would be rash and
unwise to attempt to pursue a course
likely to result in defeating the main
object we all have SO long had in view,
namely, the reform of the financial
policy of the Federal government.
AS stated, Democrats and Demo
cratic Alliance favor speedy and
radical reform, and an increase Of the
currency to fully meet the bushes:
needs of the people, but how can The
desired end ever be attained, unles:
our counsels are harmonious and we
vote and act together?
The sub-treasury bill is only one
item, as it were, in the bill of reform
1t is admitted, by men whose opinion:
cannot be disregarded, to be a meas
ure of doubtful safety, and, therefore
why should it be singled out, anC
urged with blind pertinacity, wher
,, there are other remedies, acceptable
to all, which will relieve the oppressive
: mOnied embarrassment.
If there was not strong sentimenl
against the constitutionality of the
sub treasury bill, is there was not q
growing convention uf its impractical
bility, if the patriot did not turn with
a shudder from the feature of parternaI
government it presented, the fact
that insistance upon its adoption as
indicated, many disorganize the white
vote, and turn the State over to Re
publican rule, ought to be sufficient
of itself to teach our people the i'm
portance Of being guided by conser-
yative counsel, and not to follow
extreme men into ways they know
not of.
Let the people recover their equi.
poise, reflect calmly, and they cannot
fail to see the danger ahead if reckless
men and extreme views are to govern
