Sir Walter Raleigh's Fort Pur'
chased.
New Berne Journal. |

The company of North Carolina
gentlemen, a portion of who are resld-
ing in Baltimore that was formed in
the early part of the present year for
the purpose of purchasing the site of
Sir Walter Raleigh's fort on Roanoke
Island and good sized tract of the sur
rounding land have now a sound, fee
simple title to the fort and six acres of
the surrounding land free of incum-
brance. Maj. Graham Dawes of this
city concluded the purchase on his
recent trip there, from which he re-
turned Sunday. The company will
now sooD be incorporated and definite
plans settled upon.
It is desired to purchase $50 acres
more of the contiguous land and start
in that direction has been made but
to save this to the company a payment
of seven or eight hundred dollars more
must be made within the next six
months.
The intention is to take the entire
tract fix it up suitably and preserve it
in proper shape as memorial of the
first white settlement in America, the
birthplace of the first white child and
the place where first the Christian rite
of Baptism was administered on this
continent.
Some money of course will have tc
be expended in addition to the pur.
chase money. The total amount tina,
is wanted is $4,000. About one-thire
of this has been raised. Contribu
tions to the patriotic work will be
gratefully received by the society from
any one who feels an interest in per
petuating the memory of those early
days.
The location Of the property is {
most beautiful one. It is on the enc
of that fertile island, three and hal
miles from Manteo and overlooks boil
Croatan and Boanoke sounds.
It would no doubt prove profitable
investment from a business stand poin
but higher motives prompt the presen
movement to secure possession of it.
North Carolinians in general shoul'
uphold the hands Of the promoters AM
make success assured. A very small
contribution from a moderate numbe
will accomplish the purpose.

HORACE GREELY ON DEBT.
Horace Greely in New York Ledger.J

ldOface Oreely IN New DIX Le0Rer.J
10 be hungry, ragged and penniless
is not pleasant, but this is nothing to
the horror of bankruptcy. All the
wealth of the Rothschilds would be a
poor recompense for few years
struggle, with the consciousness that
you had taken money or property of
trusting friends, promising to return
or pay for it when required, and had
betrayed their confidence through
insolvency.
l dwell on this point, for l would
deter others from entering that place
of torment. Half the young men in
the country, with many old enough to
know better, "would 60 into bushes"
that's into debt-to- worrow, if they
could. Most poor men are so ignor-
ant as to envy the merchant or manu-
facturer whose life is an incessant
struggle with pecuniary difficulties,
who is driven to constant "shining," !"
and who from month to month, barely
evades that insolvency which, sooner
or later, overtakes most men in
business, so that it has been computed
that but one in twenty Of them
achieves pecuniary success.
For my own part, l speak from sad
experience, l had rather be a convict
in the State prison, slave in the rice
swamps, than to pass through life in
the horror of debt. Let no young
man misjudge himself unfortunate, or
truly poor, so long as he has the full
use of his limbs and faculties, and is
substantially free from debt.
Hunger, cold, rags, hard work, con-
tempt, suspicion, unjust reproach, are
disagreeable; but debt is infinitely
worse than them all. And if it had
pleased God to spare either or all my
sons to be the support and solace OF
my declining years, the lesson which
should have most earnestly sought to
impress upon them is: Never run
in debt Avoid pecuniary obligations
as you would pestilence or famine. If
you have but fifty cents, and can get
no work for week, buy peck OF
corn, parch it and live on it rather
than owe any man a dollar
Of course l know that some men
must do business that involves risks
and must give notes and other obliga-
tions and l do not consider him fully
in debt who can lay his hands directly
on the means of paying, at some little
sacrifice, all he owes. speak of real
debt, that which involves risk o,
sacrificing on the one side, obligations
and dependence on the other-and
say, from all such let every youth
humbly pray God to preserve him ever
more!
Mr.. Cleveland's craftsmanship is tc
be tested as never before. The forth
coming message will be more eagerly
read and critically examined than any
State paper of modern times. AT the
suggestion OF the President the Sher
man law has been repealed, and hs
must recommend to Congress system
of finance that will commend itself t
the country. Mr.. Cleveland ha
gained reputation as tariff reformer
He must now 60 beyond himself ane
satisfy the country how tariff 70
revenue only can replenish the treas
ury and at the same time Tighten tn
burdens Of the people. Cleveland
shoulders are very broad, but the loat
upon them is exceeding heavy.-Nev

A lady was once buying some eggs
in a store, and the clerk made mis-
count and gave her one more than the
number. She saw it at the time, but
said nothing, and after she got home
it troubled her. She felt that she had
acted wrong, and she went back to
the young man and paid the differ
ence. The impression Of her con
scious integrity went to his heart like
word. 1t was great sin in her to
conceal this miscount, because the
temptation was so small; for if she
would cheat him out of an egg, i,
showed that she would cheat him oul
of his whole store if she could do i,
and not be found out. But her prompt
and humble confession showed an

The necessity of entire honesty in a
Christian.
Oh, what field opens here for re-
mark But l cannot 90 over it fully
now. 1t extends to all the depart
ments of life. Christians need to show
the strictest regard to integrity in
every department of business, and in
all their intercourse with their fellow
men. If every Christian would pay
scrupulous regard to honesty, and al
ways be conscientious to do exactly
right, it would make powerful i'm
preston on the minds of people of the
reality of religious principle.

8. Meekness. The children cf God
should always show temper like the
Son OF God who, when he was reviled,
reviled not again. If a professor of
religion is irritable and ready to resent
an injury and fly in passion and take
the same measures as the world does
to get redress, by going to law and
the like, how is he to make people
believe that there is any reality in
change of heart. They can not rec
ommend religion while they have such
a spirit. If you are in the habit of re-
sentlng injurious conduct, if you do
not bear it meekly and put the best
construction that can be on it you
contradict the gospel. Some people
always show bad spirit, ever ready
to put the worst construction on what
is done, and take fire at any little
thing. This shows great want of
that charity which "hopeth all things
believeth all things, endureth all
things" But if man always shows
meekness under injuries, it will
confound gainsaying. Nothing makes
SO solemn an impression upon sinners,
and bears down with such weight upon
their Consciences as to see Christian,
Christ like. bearing affronts and inju-
ries with the meekness of lamb. 1t
cuts like a two-edged sward.

teaching and preaching and praying
and laboring, unwearied and unawed
mingliDg with every caste and grade
bringing down their instructions to
the capacity of every individual. And
IN that way the mission carried idola-
try before it like a wave of the sea,
and all at once their religion spread
over the vast empire OF Japan. And
if they had not meddled in politics,
and brought themselves into needless
collision with the government, no
doubt they would have held their
ground till this day. l am not saying
anything in regard to the religion
they taught, for l am not sure how
much truth they preached with it.
speak only of their following the true
policy of missions by showing by their
lives the religion they taught in wide
contrast with worldly spirit and the
fooleries of idolatry. This one feature
of their policy so commended itself to
the consciences OF the people that it
was irresistible. If Christians contra
dict this one point and attempt to ac-
commodate their religion to the world
illness of men, they render the saliva
tion of the world impossible. How
can you make people believe that self
denial and separation from the world
are necessary unless you practice them !?
