The hour before falling asleep at
night is one of the most important of
the twentyfour. The reading or con-
versation of that hour usually takes a
deeper hold on the mind than that of
any other. Long passages may be
easily memorized by reading them
over carefully several times during the
last waking hour. They appear to
imbed themselves in the mind while it
rests in sleep. The impressions parents
leave on the minds of their children
at night have much to do with the
formation of their characters. Punish
ments inflicted at that season some
times l., 'sen the bonds which bind the
hearts of children to their homes,
while kind words and affectionate
counsels, given at that hour, often
prove a SAVIOR of life unto life

MOTHERS HYMNS,
FROM THE BOSTON JOURNAL"

flushed are those lips, their earthly song
The singer sleeps at last;
WhIle sit gazing at her arm- chair vacant,
And thiuk OF days long past.
The room still echoes with the old-time
music,
AS, singing soft and low
Those grand, sweet hymns, the Christians
consolation,
She rocks her to and fro.
Some that can stir the heart like shouts of
triumph
Or londtoned trumpets call,
bidding the people PROSTATE TaH before
"And cro,on Him-Lord Of aU."
And tender notes, filled with melodious
rapture,
That leaned upon His word,
Rose in those strains of solemn, deep af
fectiOn,
"IIooe TAy kingdom, Lord"
Safe hidden in the wondrous Rock Of
Ages,"
She bade farewell to fear;
| Sure that her Lord would always gently
lead her,
| She read her title clear.
Joyful she, saw ".trom Greenland's icy

The Gospel flag unfurled;
| And knew by faith ''the morning light aoas

Over sinful world.
&c There IS q fountain" how the tone trium-

| Rose in victorious strains,
FILLED with that precious blood, for all
| the ransOmed,
Drawn from Immanuel's VEINS
Dear saint, in heavenly mansions long
since folded,
Safe in Gods fostering love,
She joins with rapture in the blissful
chorus
Of those bright chorS above.
There, where no tears ale known, no pain
nor sorrow,
Safe beyond JOrdan'S roll,
She lives forever with her blessed Jesus,
The LOUer OF her soul.

Remarks on a Recent Invention
T kansas City Star. |

Mr.. Louis Gross of Philadelphia
should be investigated. He is too
smart by half, or he is a fearful liar,
which is worse. Mr.. Gross claims that
he has invented hand me down egg,
and right here this machine made
business should stop. Man is crea-
ture of environment, and if something
is not done fearful catastrophe may
befall humanity. To-day man stands
surrounded by wooden nutmegs, saw
dust -four and steer butter. He wears
false teeth, glass eyes, wiggs, wooden
legs, cork hands and padded coats,
while his wife wears crinoline that is
full of guile at 60 cents yard. The
fabric of society is frail and full Of
deceit, and man is rapidly adjusting
himself to his surroundings. The ad-
vent of the tailor made egg fills the
last niche in the circle of deception
that surrounds bewildered humanity.
If this is not checked, very soon there
will be L" mo JOY nor beauty nor love
liness' that Contnueth in man. -
And will be vanity and yexation of
spirit,
This is of course the selfish human
side. But what about the hens and
their kin? Have they no rights that
human beings are bound to respect?
If this egg maker is allowed to flood
the market with his "false, fleeting,
perjured" eggs, what can selfrespect-
ing hen do but withdraw her product
Indignantly from sale? Can hens be
expected to so into the marts Of trade
to compete with pauper egg plants
and support INDECENT and improvident
roosters on the mere pittance that the
machine article can be made for?
Most certainly they cannot. And if
the hens are to be insulted and driven
from America, where will spring chick
ems come from?

She Went Home.

"And who, pray, is Doris p was
the question that startled Mr.. Brown,
who is addicted to that i'll conceived
habit OF talking in his sleep as he
awoke the other morning and found
his devoted better half sitting up in
bed with an interrogation point in one
eye and a note of exclamation in the
other.
"Doris. Doris-Doris who?"
ssThat's precisely what want to
know. You've been repeating the
name over and over again during the
night"
"Oh-ah-yes, of course. It's
Charley Jones new collie dog. Oh,
she's perfect beauty. I'd give any
thing for her."
Indeed! !"
"Rather she's the sort of dog" -
"You ought to own? Certainly
you appear excessively fond of her.
You asked, you will be pleased to
hear, this 'collie dog to put her arms
around your neck and kiss you. Then
you told Mr.. Jones dog that you
loved her with all your heart and
when you came to die that if you
could only LAY your head on Jones
dogs bosom you could breathe your
life out sweetly there Then you
asked Jones dog to 'have another ice
cream and if the watch you had given
her kept good time. Under these cir
cumstances, Jethro Brown, | think per
haps you had better go to Jones collie
dog, as l am going home to my
mother. ''-Mflkion.

Think it Over.

Coarse kindness is at least better
than coarse anger.
Proud hearts and lofty mountains
are always barren.
Reverence, however sweet, always
costs more than it is worth.
Great good is often unaccompllshed
because it is not attempted.
Be not forward to assign reasons to
those who have no right to ask.
If a man repents ne don't have to
try to believe it comes of itself.
He who seems not to himself more
than he is, is more than he seems.
Judge no man because the dis
position of his mind is not like your
own.
He who is most charitable in his
Judgment is generally the least un-
just.
1t isn't so much what a man has
that makes him happy as it is what he
doesn't want.
Garner up pleasant thoughts in your
mind for pleasant thoughts make
pleasant lives.
Whatever you do, take a hearty
interest in it, or be assured you will
certainly fail.
A sound discretion is not so much
indicated by never making a mistake
as by never repeating 1t.
The most delicate, the most sensible
of all pleasures consists in promoting
the pleasures Of others.
Men of the noblest disposition think
themselves happiest when others share
their happiness with them.
The best teachers are those who
learn something new themselves every
day, and are not ashamed to own it
We should never grumble at those
things we could have prevented, nor al
those things we could not have pre-
vented.
! One of the original tendencies o
the human mind, fundamental anC
universal, is the love of other people:
private affairs.
The pleasure of commanding oul
passions is to be preferred before any
sensual pleasure, because it is the
pleasure to wisdom and discretion,

North Carolina History.

[Dr. Pritchard in Charlotte Observer
Is it not little singular that the
best book ever written on any part of
the history of this State was from the
pen of DR.. Lyman Draper, a man
reared and born in the North? | refer
to his :" Heroes of Kings Mountain
1t is work of great interest and
represents, l am told, twenty years of
careful research. Judge Schenck's
work is most excellent, but it is de-
voted to very limited period of the
States history. Wheeler's &c Sketches
are valuable but far from accurate.
Moore's is still better and so far as l
know is the only attempt to give the
full history of the State, but it is
faulty in many particulars, the critics
say, and tie work that will live, and
shall vindica,c the honor of our dear
old Commonwealth, placing her where
she belongs among the galaxy Of
States, is yet to be written. May it
not be that among the living youth OF
the State is to be found the man who
is to do the blessed and patriotic
work? l, for one, sincerely hope SO.

IRichmOnd TimeS.l

The present financial depression
which embarrasses the country is based
solely on fictitious grounds, and is
caused simply by lack of confidence.
There is as much money in the country
as ever, and were the people not filled
with absurd apprehension, there would
be no monetary stringency. The
Sherman purchase law is at the bottom
of this lack of confidence, but while in
time, if permitted to continue, that
law will embarrass the country by
forcing it to silver standard, still it
will be long time before any such
catastrophe as that can happen, and
long before it will be possible, the
abomination will be repealed. All
fear from that source, therefore, is
absolutely foolish.
If the people of the United States
would look at this question Alright there
would be no more trouble. Now every
man who has little money is hoard
ing it away instead of investing it !;
depositors in some States have become
needlessly alarmed and made runs on
banks, which if let alone would have
been perfectly solvent, but which
could not stand steady drain upon
them; others are refusing to pay their
bills, and while doing all they can to
make money, Immediately withdraw
their money when made from circula-
ton.
All this is worse than foolish it is
criminal. Let our men of large and
small means invest their money.
Securities that are as sound as dollar
are depressed through inaction, and
can be bought now for considerably
less than they will be sold for a few
months hence. Let depositors permit
their savings to remain in banks, and
there will be no more failure of these
institutions even of comparative small
capital, and the depositors will receive
their own with interest. Then lei
those who owe small sums stop hoard
ing their money, and be honest and
pay their debts. These little sums arc
very small in themselves, but, in the
aggregate, make an amount of money
which if put in circulation will dc
much in the way of warding off general
stringency, and consequent bad busi
ness all around.
This is great country, and ou1
large wheat crops which will be ir
great demand in Europe will soon bt
on the move, and then with wheat
going abroad, the European gold com
ing in freely in return, confidence viii
naturally be restored /; but there is nc
necessity for waiting for that. The
present fear is like one of those craze:
which seem to take absolute possession
of mankind, every once in while
like land booms and such like-aftel
period of excitement, reason returns
and now if people will only invest
their money, stop running on bank:
and pay their debts, good times vii
return before either wheat is shipped Oh
the Sherman law is repealed.

The sense of honor is of so fine and
delicate a nature, that it is only to be
met with in minds that are naturally
noble, or in such as have been cult
vated by great examples or a refined
education. Honor, though different
principle from religion, produces the
same effects. The lines Of action
though drawn from different posts,
terminate in the same point. Religion
embraces virtue as it is conjoined by
the laws of God honor as it is grace
full and ornamental to human nature.
