HOME SACRIFICES.


The Hardships OF Loyalty to Family OBJ.
legations.
A Yale student had barely finished
his college course when his father died
suddenly, leaving a large family in re-
duced circumstances. The young man
had planned professional career for
himself and had an excellent opening
in western city. Without a murmur
he remained in the east, obtained a
clerkship in an insurance office. and
earned what he could for the support
of his family.
Year after year he devoted his life
with cheerfulness to q business for
which he had no taste. 1t was plain
duty to help his mother and sisters, and
it was not shirlzed.
As time passed he read law and was
admitted to the bar, but the necessity
of feeding and clothing those at home
forced him to remain an insurance
clerk Meanwhile, college classmates
without drag upon their careers were
rising steadily to positions OF eminence
in professional life.
''Some men always get the burnt
coolly," he used to say, grimly.
That was his sole comment upon the
sacrifice of his youthful hopes and am
bitions to commonplace home duties.
Another college graduate had hardly
received his diploma before he was
compelled to face poverty and family
disgrace. His father. who had been
reputed to be wealthy, was an en-
bezzler and fugitive from justice.
His mother and sisters were entirely
dependent upon his modest earnings in
a brokers' office.
He had planned taking an advanced
course of professional study in archi-
lecture. His ideal occupation had to
be abandoned. He was in love with q
charming girl, but ceased to visit her,
since maria gewaS ont of the question.
Al opportunity for a years travel in
Europe at a friends expense was given
up.
Year after year he maintained hard,
bitter struggle to make living at I'M
congenial employment for his mother
and sister to support his father
abroad. and to overcome prejudice
caused by the family disgrace. He be-
came successful business man. but
was prematurely gray at forty. His
life was haunted by the ghosts of his
youthful hopes.
Such lives do not furnish ma terial for
exciting ,stories. They are dull and
prosaic, but are nevertheless heroic
TO give up all that is dear to youth,
and to be loyal to family obligations,
sometimes is a browning triumph of I'M
selfshness. Companion.

HAVE YOU wRIrTENTo MoTHER7

Pray may ask you, worthy lad,
Whose smile no care can smother:
Though busy life throbs round about,
Have you written home to mother?
You are fast forgetting. aren't you, quite,
How fast the weeks went flying:
And that little, blotted Sheet
Unanswered, still is lying?
Don't you remember how she stood,
With wistful glance at parting?
Don't you remember how the tears
Were in her soft eyes starting!
Have you forgotten how her arm
Stole round you to caress you?
Have you forgotten those low words;
'Good-by, my son, God bless your
Oh. do not wrong her patient love,
Save Gods, there is 10 other
So faithful through all mists Of sin:
Fear not TO write 20 mother.
Tell her how hard it is to walk.
AS walked the Master lowiy:
Tell her how hard it is 10 keep
A mans life pure and holy.
Tell her to keep the lamp OF prayer,
light, . beacon burning:
Whose beams shall reach you far away
Shall lure your soul returning.
Tell her you love her dearly still,
For fear some sad tomorrow
Shall bear away the listening SOUL
And leave you lost in sorrow.
And then through bitter, falling tears
And signs you may not smother,
You will remember when too late
You did not write to mother.

WE SEE 1T NOW.


1t is only when vice has reached its
climax-when decency long outraged
and sat upon, receives a stab which goes
to the heart-when injured innocence sits
by the open grave Of Dead Hope and
| looks into the cruel beyond of Living
Sorrow, that the enormity of any social
evil and the result of such tolerance is
brought home to US. 1t is only when
some true and coniding wife has been
dishonored and disgraced only when
some mothers heart has been broken
and life full Of promise, wrecked and
destroyed, that we appreciate the dan
gers which have so long threatened US
and are at last aroused to the necessity
of acting-of doing something to protect
ourselves when there is no longer any
thing to protect.
Ju7t why the good people of this city
should SO long have tolerated place like
Smoky Hollow-a place known of all
men as a rendezvous of all that is lowest
in the scale of human society; a place of
daylight impudence and midnight shame;
a place where virtue dare not walk and
where infamy and crime run riot in the
streets, is not yet explained.
Why Smoky Hollow has been allowed
to exist and do its wicked work, will
never be understood, except that in this
busy, bustling battle-this miserable
sham which we call life, where greed and
aVarice are the motive power which pro-
pei the machinery of our universe, where
a dollar to our credit here is more to be
sought after than the incorruptible treas.
ures in the vaults of the New Jerusalem
in this ceaseless struggle to accumulate
wealth, we forget that we cannot live for
self alone, forget the duty which we owe
to society and that there is such a thing
as individual responsibility.
For years there have been crimes COM
mitted and dark deeds perpetrated in
Smoky Hollow. There have been COM
plants and still complaints, and the
police have done what they could. But
it took the killing of SANDY JONES and
the ROLLINS trial to awaken the people
Of this city to the true nature of the pest
house which they were tolerating within |
heir very gates.
The meeting this morning is the best !
Indication of the growing sentiment |
against such indecency. The GLoEB
;ommends the action of the property |
owners who did attend and is sorry to
ecord the fact that any were absent.
Now that the work of cleaning up has
een commenced, let it be vigorously
ushed to a finish.

change CT tourists going abroad and i'm.
migrants coming in whether it is to be
! for or against US, end in mere conjecture
| Whether the decrease in the number of
American tourists and increase in the
number of foreign visitors will materially
! affect the movement of gold is question
that Wall street is unable to determine.
The correspondent of the Philadelphia
Ledger says: "Some think that it is going
to keep large amount of gold in this
country which would otherwise be ex-
ported, while others think that the saw
ing to the United States will, after all,
be merely bagatelle." Which is about
all the satisfaction that can be obtained
on this subject.
The balance against Us is usually rather
over than under $50,0O0,000 The for
eign tourists are estimated to leave an
average of $100,000,000 in Europe every
season, and the immigrants who arrive,
though large in numbers, are, as rule,
poor in cash, and probably do not Offset
this amount by more than one-half
The indeterminate factor in the calcu-
lation is the cholera. Should there be an
epidemic of this dreaded disease, there
will of course be a considerable reduc.
ton all around, both Of Outgoers ana in
corners, but to a much greater extent in
the number of immigrants than of for
eign visitors, the probabilities being that
quite as much money would be brought
in as taken out. 1t is stated that the de.
mand for summer excursion tickets to
Europe is nprecedentedly small, while
the call for letters of credit abroad to
this country is heavier than in former
years.
Should the cholera fail to put in an
early and threatening appearance the
chances are that the number of foreign
visitors and immigrants will both be
largely augmented and in greater proper
ton than the number of American tour
lists. In this event a reasonable expecta
ton can be entertained of turn in the
gold balance favorable to this country.

WHAT WE NEED,

| The meeting of the Southern COVER
nors in Richmond this week, while il
may not be productive of immediate re-
suits, was notable one, showing as it
did general awakening on the part OF
the SOuthrn states to something like a
realization of their wonderful resources
and some adequate idea as to their needs
and necessities.
1t has long been given up that the
South, and particularly this portion Of it,
enjoyed advantages of sell and climate,
water power, native woods and mineral
| deposits, eQualled by no other section of
| the United States and not excelled by
any country in the world The difficulty
has been that nature was too lavish, and
IN making existence possible with little
or no labor, encouraged Incidence and
acted as foe to progress
But under new system the South is
fast getting out of the old lazy ways
which have so long held her down. In
the past decade great industrial enter
prises and vast business concerns have
sprung up in all the southern states and
the South is rapidly becoming the manu-
featuring center of the Union. Foreign
capitalists have found a ready and pro-
titable field for investment, and the great
West, which ere and erstwhile was the
one favored spot toward which all eyes
were turned and all expectations bent,
has been superseded by the young South,
which from this on will be the arena for
big games of speculation and the place
where great fortunes will be made.
What the South needs, and all that she
needs, is people and money. We need
money TO start the machinery and the
people to operate it.
IHE GLOBE has wildly insisted that
North Carolina had only to let the world
know what she had TO double our popu-
lation in twelve months. This is why
we talk Durham and write Durham, and
why people are coming to this town from
every direction and helping US to build
city.
W hat the governors did may or may
not do much towards the desired end.
But the fact that such a convention was
held and that such a sentiment prevails.
IS encouraging as an indication and
promise, and THE GLOBE is glad 10 see
them fall in with the procession.
