mgly, yet silently as q shadow, Herbert
glided out. The whole camp was buried
in profound repose and only the senti-
nels kept watch. The nearest of them
was posted some thirty yards from the
tent, and Herbert could see an occasion
al CLEAN of the star-touched bayonet
point as the soldier paced back and
forth on his short beat. No need to
look in that directionl so the anxious
searcher faced about and, STOPPING low,
glanced down the long canvas streets,
with difficulty depressing a cry as he
saw, by the dim light, and not fifty
feet away, Fred stealthily creeping on
hands and knees to the rear. In a
flash the truth struck him. His friend
was attempting to desert! and IN half
dozen noiseless bounds he had reached
the unhappy youth, thrown himself
down by his side and pulled him fiat to
the ground.
Erred Ainslie,' he sternly whis-
pered, sare you raving mad? Do you
want to be shot as a deserter? Don't
you know that even a cat could not es-
cape from these lines? And the infamy
of it! Oh, shame! shame! Would you
disgrace your father and break the
hearts of your mother and sister? Bet
ter brave a thousand deaths in the way
OF duty than one like this -
The conscience-s tricken young man
answered not word, but rose to his
feet and, taking his comrades arm,
walked slowly toward the tent. AS
concealment was no longer necessary,
the sentinel now saw them, and chal-
lenged:
''Who goes there?'
''Privates Leslie and Ainslie, Of Com
pany c." quietly answered Herbert.
Advance and give the countersign,"
said the sentry.
The boys stepped close up to the lev
eled rifle. Leslie whispered: ''Abe Lin.

granted and Herbert joined in time to

The ideals of our Youth.

Chauncey N. Depew, in a re-
cent address to the New York
Woman's Press club, said q
finer thing than even Mr.. De.
pew often utters. He told his
audience that the best way -
find happiness was to be true to
the ideals of their youth. At
ter wealth, love, fame and all
else had failed, that still remain
ed.
This is as true as beautiful.
If, as the old belief was, chtl-
dren were souls born into the
world out of heaven, then nat
urally young people would
have with them still some lin
gering memory of the spheres
they had left, some traces of
the loyalty, the high endeayor,
the brotherly kindness. The
artistic beauty and perfection
of the vanished realm would
haunt them in dreams and ideals
of work to be accomplished here,
where the crude material lies all
about them.
The most nearly mortal
could realize these dreams
would be in fidelity to the
ideals of youth. All mankind
have them at first. generous
and high and honest. He who
can hold fast to them, who can
20 down to old age knowing
that men are not all selfish and
brutal, and who is still STRIVING
to produce in perfection the
work he set his heart on in
young manhood, this mortal is
not all unhappy.

State Chronicle: The funeral
of the late William Woods Hol-
den. ex-editor, Ex-Governor and
ex-postmaster, was held yester-
day afternoon from Edenton
street Methodist church at 4
o'clock. In early manhood he
was a member of this church,
and in his last years it was the
sanctuary to which his steps,
tired of the turmoil and disap-
pointments of political life,
turned with love and devotion.
He was one Of the oldest mem
bers. and until he became too
feeble. his seat was never va
cant upon the Sabbath services.
His heart was stayed upon God;
and those who knew him most
| intimately. are those who sor-
row most at his death. They

recollection, supported Mr..
Douglas, but better authority
informs us that he gave the
Breckinridge ticket a lukewarm
support.
When Mr.. Lincoln was elect
ed, and the whole South was
thoroughly aroused over the
election of the first Republican
President, Mr.. Holden sounded
the "Watch and Wait" slogan
through the Standard.
In April, 1861, Mr.. Lincoln
having called on Gov. Ellis for
troops to sustain the Union
cause, a convention of the peo-
pie was called, and Mr.. Holden
and the late Hon. George E.
Badger and Kemp P. Battle
We're elected as the delegates
from Wake county. This ticket
was known as the Union ticket.
Mr.. Badger, however, intro
duced an ordinance of secession,
which Mr.. Holden voted for,
and he signed the ordinance of
secession.
During the war he urged
peace measures and became
widely known as an opponent
of the Confederate administra-
tion. He ran for Governor
against Vance in 1864 but was
defea.ed.
In 1865, after the war was
over, President Johnson ap-
pointed him Provisional Cover
nor of North Carolina. In the
succeeding election held in 1866
he was a candidate before the
people but was beaten by Gov.
Jonathan Worth. In 1868 he
was, under the reconstruction
acts, when the negroes were
first allowed to vote, elected
Governor over the late Thomas
IS. Ashe. Troubles arouse dur
ing his administration and he
was impeached by the Demo
cratic Assembly of 1870 and de-
clared incapable of hold office.
He afterwards was appointed
postmaster at Raleigh, but soon
from all separated himself from
political parties, and led a quiet
and exemplary life. For some
years his health has been very
precari0us, and after a linger-
ing illness, he passed away.
Gov. Holden was a remark
able man. As an editor he was
very successful and wislded a
great power in North Carolina.
He wrote vigorous articles,
short and pointed, and he kept
in lire with popular thought.
He, however, was an earnest
advocate of internal improve
ments and other progressive
measures in advance of the
masses of his party.
Gov. Holden left surviving
him Mrs. Holden and one son.
Mr.. Charles Holden, and five
daughters, one single daughter
and four married, as follows
Mrs. Fritz Mailer, Mrs. Claude
Sherwood, Mrs. Walter r Henry
and Mrs. Cowles.

A LITTLE common sense and
practical experience in business
teaches a man that it takes
pork, potatoes or other produce,
a full dollars worth, to get a
dollar, whether that dollar be
dug out of the bowels of the
earth in the shape of gold, or
whether it is a representative
dollar printed by Uncle Sam.
If a man has 1000 bushels of
No. l hard wheat, he can get
800 hard dollars for it at present
prices, without paying any in
terest on the money, but the
man who don't have the wheat
or any equivalent, can't even
borrow the money, no matter
how much money per capita
there may be in circulation ;
nor could he get it if the gov
ernment printed it by the cord
and loaned it at 2 per cent. You
can't get something for moth
ing unless you beat your credi-
tors.

1t is a pleasure to say that in his
personal relations he was a most
kindly man, a genial and a
charitable man, and that as an
editor, when he was at his best,
it is doubtful if our State has
produced his equal. Certainly
we have had no editor who has
welded an equal influence over
the people.
The animosities which he once
cherished have long since perish

may hope that he will find per-

He went home choked with rage, with
confusion, the more depressed since
from his Norman cunning he was, per-
haps, capable OF having done what they
accused him Of and even Boosting OF 1t

Then he began again to tell of his ad-
venture, lengthening his recital every
day, each time adding new proofs. The
more complicated his defense, the more
artiul his arguments, the less he was
believed.
"Thoso are liars proofs" they said
behind his back.
He felt this it preyed upon his heart.
