In 1859 the patriarch Of Aquileia feted
Ranuccio Farnese, the pope's nephew, ia
the palace on the Giadecca. The rooms
were decked with extraordinary sumptu-
ousnets, cloth Of gold, paintings and illu-
limitations adding to the effect produced by
the patriarch's cooks. Among the guests
were twelve gentlemen In fancy marine
costume Ut green satin with red lining,
wearing caps Of the same colorH, and each
accompanied by lady dressed In white.
This repast lasted four hours, varied by
music and the professional entertainer Of
the day. IL ended with the cutting up u

MY SISTER ELEANOR.

Her face has lost its girlish bloom;
Much OF Its red has changed to white,
Ana yet her presence In the room
Makes Gods own sunshine seem more
bright.
She cannot Jest, as bright folks do;
She has no clever repartee:
But what she says Is kind and true,
And somehow that's enough for me.
She has no trials; she alone;
And so, lest nothing should distress her,
She takes our troubles for her own;
My own sweet Eleanor, God bless heri

A Talented Young Artist.

We had the pleasure few days ago
of seeing some very fine specimens of
painting executed by Miss Cora Smith
wick, of Steedsville, n. c., which
prove her to be an artist of superior
talents. She is the young lady who
won the art medal last spring at the
school of Professor G. D. Gillespie, in
Tarboro, in three months over all COM
petitors, lin which some Of whom had
had a training Of eight months), and
also the Demorest medal on elocution,
about two years ago. Her paintings
seem to be characterized with the pc
culiar touch of nature, one OF her best
being beautiful representation called
Autumn on the Hudson,' which was
finished without the aid of instruction.
There is uniqueness and personality
shown in her work that lead the
thoughts from the present bleak, snow
capped hills to sunny scenes and the
fresh vernal tints Of spring, with a
style exquisite in color, tone and sentl-
ment. With her natural talent, excep-
tional energy and valuable experience
in the artistic line, if Miss Smithwick
should engage in teaching she would
no doubt adorn the art studio in a
manner that would reflect credit upon
the profession as we'll as herself. We
were also shown some excellent crayon
work, of which she makes a specially,
and very creditable specimens of tax
idermy, that were likewise good nda

A Fine Lot Of Chickens

AS fine lot of chickens as one will
find in several days travel are those
of our young friend Mr.. A. j. Cheek.
They are improved stock, representing
the finest strains of the several vari-
cites of games. and are in great de-
mand both at home and abroad. Be-
sides those on his yard at the depot
and at home Alex has quite number
on adjacent farms and distributed
among various persons in town, max
ing his stock much more extensive
than most persons have any idea of.
AS table fowls and egg producers,
some of his breeds are unsurpassed,
while he has the pit games also. Per-
sons who wish to improve their stock
of chickens would do we'll to secure
some of Mr.. Cheeks birds. 1t costs no
more to keep the best than it does the
common breeds, whether it be poultry,
horses, cattle, hogs or sheep.

AT THE Y. M. @. A. SUNDAY.
A THANKSGIVING Service---Rev
Mr.. johnson and the General
Secretary AS Leaders.

The service last Sabbath afternoon
was conducted as service of thanks
giving, the subject being announced pre-
viously as ''What have to be thankful
for" Mr.. Johnson read the one hundred
and forty-eighth and part of the one
hundred and third Psalms. He said that
in the first Psalm read every inanimate
thing, and at last man. was called on to
praise God; for His name is excellent and
His glory above the earth and Heaven.
Mr.. johnson then called on the secretary
for the address. The following is q brief
synopsis:
Gratitude is a mark of manhood. The
brute shows appreciation OF kindness. 1t
is said the elephant never forgets an in
jury or kindness. The dog seems to rec
ognize and sympathize with good mas.
ter The migrate denies his manhood
ton. Show thyself a man.
Some one has said that gratitude is
the highest mark of holiness. There is
no selishness in it. 1t is not occupied
with self. The heart goes ont in loving
appreciation of benefits and blessings be-
slowed.
A grateful heart is happy heart. God
delights to bless thankful heart. This
is just as reasonable as that parents de-
light to bestOw love upon an apprecia-
tive child. The blessing of the Lord, it
maketh rich and He addcth no sorrow
with it.
There is such thing as the spirit of
gratitude. The more complete the con-
| secration the more grateful the heart.
You have some times noticed very poor
people who seemed and really were more
grateful for the common mercies OF life
| than the rich and opulent are for the lux
| uries. The rich have need OF nothing,
| while the poor and consecrated are more
| or less dependent upon God. Now these
are thankful for air, for food for life, for
| friends and home and church privileges.
They seem to live in spirit or atmos-
| phere of gratitude. The more dependent
upon God the more grateful we are.
There is a simple philosophy in this, and
many illustrations might be given.
xWhat have to be thankful for? Mr..
Rossiter here spoke feelingly of his
mother, how her prayers were like a wall
of protection about him during the years
of his careless and reckless youth. He
believed he owed, under God, much to
her for what he is to-day. He was CRATE
full that by her prayers the grace had
found him, and he did not know what
his life might be had it not been for the
goodness of God in constraning and as
sisting her.
Many others spoke. One said he was
thankful for health. Another for Chris
tan home. Another for being permitted
to serve in the vineyard of Christ. An
other for godly parents, and SO on. The
meeting closed in prayer and consecra-
ton by the general secretary.
Capt. W. B. Shaw will deliver an ad-
dress next Sunday.

A Noble Act of Noble Women.

AS the GOLD LEAF has often remarked
before it will put the women of Hender-
son against the world for nobility OF
purpose and kindly deeds of charity.
And SO it was just like those good ladies
when on Wednesday of last week q COM
mittee composed of Mrs. Henry Perry,
Mrs. E. G. Davis, Mrs. Lamb, Mrs. Hill,
Mrs. Brodie, Mrs. Hines and Miss Long,
representing the Whatsoever Circle of
the Kings daughters, drove out to the
Home for the Aged and Infirm, in charge
of generous Thanksgiving dinner, con-
tributed by the members of the Circle.
The day was lovely, and the inmates it
is needless to say were greatly pleased
and delighted with the sumptuous repast
which was fully enjoyed. A profusion OF
nice things had been sent, such as ham,
cold mutton, roast turkey, stuffed fowls,
pickles and celery, canned fruit and a
variety of tempting cakes and pies, Or
anges and apples made up the menu.
Little incidents, sometimes humorous,
sometimes pathetic, made the hours fly
swiftly to the busy committee. At three
in the afternoon all said goodbye to les
paurre homme, and to Mr.. and Mrs. Duke,
who had been exceedingly courteous and
helpful.
The visit ended, impatient horses sped
merrily homeward, and the gentle
Daughters felt in their hearts that a
kindness done in His name els twice bless
ed: it blesses him that gives, and him
that takes"
