= priceless jewel is Christian charity,
And genial the cline of the heart,
Where gem of such purity, beauty and
variety,
Is serenely performing its part.
No jewel with dazzling lustre so rare,
Can be found in the casket of Kings:
No Prince ever dreamed of wealth to

With the wealth to the bosom it brings.
Unknown among shylocks and votaries of

From envy and malice it flies;
In the bosom that pulsateS alone for itself,
1t speedily witlerS and dies.
There's nothing congenial with meek-eyed
charity,
In the bosom deceptive, sordid and cold ;
No base alloy can chime with variety,
Purer than diamonds and better than
gold.
Unknown to the bigot whose theme is his
Ignorant all rules of prOpriety
Alas for the brother with ambition to

Who is honestly ignorant of pety.
A priceless jewel is Christian charity,
And pure is the cline of the heart,
Where gem of such wonderful beauty
and variety,
Is quietly playing its part.
Yea, spotless in purity, peerless in worth,
No pearl of the ocean with its beauty
can vie;
No heart can be true like the home of its
birth,
No passport is better, for haven On high.

more than anything else. OF two
lovers good poor man is better than
bad rich man. Pictures and furni-
ture and rugs and footmen are desir-
able in their way, but you can no,
afford TO give human heart for them
1t may be unpleasant to live in side
street, but side street with peace is
better than the avenue with misery.
Your acquaintance may shrug their
shoulders-it is their privilege to do
SO if they choose-but if the home is
bright and cheerful what care you?
If fathers and mothers would see to
it that their homes are made happy,
and have no other desire than that
their children should make happy
homes for themselves, this barter and
sale which enters SO largely into our
views of marriage would cease and the
millennium would come this way.
What this old world needs is sterling
and unwavering moral principle, and
the independence to stand by it.
These grand qualities of character
must be taught in the home by parents
who believe in them and eXemplify
them in their own lives, or they will
never be acquired at all.
After that you can trust both sons
and daughters to reach safe con-
clusion when they are called upon to
leave the hearthstone Of Their child
hood and make new home for them
selves.
They will have already learned that
though riches and happiness sometimes
80 together, it is better to depend on
happiness rather than riches for a safe
journey through life.

Uneasy Lies the Head.
ICharlOtte Observer. |

There is still another man whOselot
is not a happy one, and that is a
newly elected officer with a pack Of
hungry wolves at his heels. We read
in the Statesville Landmark that the
newly-elected Republican sheriff of
Iredeli county has 50 applications for
the jailors place; that he has already
promised it to one of his supporters,
Withdrawn his promise and now has a
suit for damages on his hands before
he is even inducted into Office, the
man whom he has flirted with claim
ing that he has been at considerable
expense in getting ready to take
charge of the Jail. This sherlf-elect
can now appreciate the sentiment
uttered by Cyclone Jim Marshall, of
Virginia, who was defeated for re-
nomination on account of his dltrlbu-
ton OF the Federal patronage in his
gdistriCt, when he said that never since
the days of our Lord and Savior has
there been a man on earth who could
feed FIVE thousand people on five
loaves and three small fishes.

MOVEMENT SOUTHWARK.
People Leaving the Northwest to Settle
in the South.
Wilmington Messenger.]

Wilmington Messenger.]
There is decided movement to the
South from the Northwest. In one
county in Georgia three colonies have
settled already. They are cultivating
successfully pine barrens. There are
movements of this kind to other States
More will come tor the South offers to
farmers and investors peculiar and
unmistakably advantageous opportuni~
ties. Lands are cheap, abundant and
not remote from railroads. North
Carolina is behind no State in the
number and excellence of its attrac-
tons. In soil, climate, variety Of
products, water privileges, ETC., it is
not surpassed by any State. 1t offers
advantages incomparably superior to
those of any Northwestern State. In
fact, its resources are both unknown to
the North to great extent, and unde-
veloped. In spite of the great depres-
sion of the times caused mainly by
Republican extravaganza and bad
laws, the South has suffered less than
any part of the North. After being
peeled, smitten and Frustrated by war
and the ravening rascally crowd thai
got control after peace was made, th.-
South has achieved wonders, and has
but few tramps of its own and no
Coxey rowing bands of beggary and
intimidation. 1t lost all by the war
and by the robberies of the carpet
baggers and their scallawag allies,
aided by Sambo and Cuffee and Tony
and Pompey Smash.
Now it is holding its own, and pos
sesses great riches and most alluring
future if cotton would once more sell at
10 cents and wheat, corn and the
other products of the farm would fetch
living prices.
Mr.. H. c. Payne, of Milwaukee,
who knows much of the South, is re-
ported as saying in the Atlanta Con-
shtuti0H:

TIMELY TIPS.

The H'English Committee to Pro
tect American Negroes from Lynch
Law has been gloriously snubbed by
Miss Abigail Dodge ("Gail Hamil-

many prominent people, including
Miss Dodge, to help 'em see that our
laws were enforced. a more
Insolent and
Impudent
Bit of international intermeddling
was never known. But Miss Dodge
put a
Big,
Fat,
Juicy,
Bug in their high-waving ears by re-
minding them that they ought to clean
their own door-steps before they came
over here to scour ours; that Mrs
Maybrick, an American woman, had
been sent to British prison for life by
a crazy Judge without shadow of evi-
dence to show that she was guilty of
the crime charged against her-that of
poisoning her husband. The Judge
was sent to lunatic shop for mental
repairs, and Mrs. Maybrick was sent
to a convict cell for the remainder of
her life. A retrial of the case has
been called for from all corners of the
world, but the British Government
has sealed its ears to these petitions,
and the poor woman is dying in her
dungeon, without one CLEAN of hope.
Miss Dodge tells the committee that
she will give $500 for the production
of evidence, certified by the Lord
Chief Justice of England, as proof
beyond reasonable doubt that Mrs.
Maybrick is guilty either of murder or
attempt to murder. Miss Dodge
winds up with gentle hint to the
effect that America can enforce its
own laws without any help from a
country that throws an innocent
woman into prison for life, and refuses
her retrial in spite of fresh evidence
that has been found in her favor.
Bravo tor Miss Dodge.

sneak and depart from our shore:

THE ROAD TO RUIN.
Something for Young Men to Read
and Profit By.
ATLANTA Constitution. /

The newspapers are filled with
stories Of defalcations, forgeres and
murders, and in many instances these
crimes are committed by young men
lot good family-well educated, nice
young fellows who are above suspicion
until they suddenly become full fedged
criminals.
In the great majority of such cases
the young men who go wrong have
been INDUCED by their parents, and
have been allowed to live beyond their
means and grow up in idleness. 1t is
common thing to find hard-work-
ing father who is SO proud of his
gentlemanly son that he cheerfully
supplies him with pocket money, hop
ing that the youngster will some day
get into a light and genteel occupation
in which he can easily make money
without working for it. This hope is
generally disappointed. The mistaken
father forgets that an idle brain is the
devils workshop. When a lad leads
an utterly idle life for few years, and
sometimes for only few months, the
chances are that he will form bad
habits and bad associations. His ex-
penditures will rapidly increase; and
he will soon find it difficult to supply
his wants.
When an idle young man reaches
this point he grows discontented and
restless. How can be get a large sum
of money without working for it?
This is the problem which he is trying
to solve. He envies every welldressed
man who displays a roll of bills. He
complains of his hard luck, and begins
to hate his more prosperous aCquaint-
ances. He starts on the downward
road, gets in debt, CANDLES and
drinks, or if he escapes these vices his
brain is disordered by his feverish
greed.
TO such a man temptation is bound
to come sooner or later. Perhaps he
misapproprlates the funds of Others or
commits a forgery. Possibly in an
evil hour the sight of money in the
possession of an unsespecting COM
panion in a lonely place leads to muir
der. In these days when the love of
money is SO universal there are many
such murders committed by men who
are trying to live without work.
The father who supports an idle boy
and encourages him in the idea that
in some way he will be able to go
through life we'll fed and we'll dressed,
with money in his pocket, without
striking lick to earn it, is training
his son for the chaingang or the gal
lows. Even if the boy is too clever
or too timid to plunge into crime he
is looked upon with contempt as a
drone who is of no use to the COmmu
nifty. Industrious men are unwilling
to have these fellows visit their daugh
tiers or associate with their sons, and
their old playmates who are making
their way in the world by honest labor
shun their companionship.
In this country the pariahs of society
ara the men without means who are
determined to live in idleness and
make somebody else foot the bill. If
among our readers there is a father
with such son let him lose no time
in forcing him to go to work. Any
reasonable stretch ofparental authority
is iustifable in such case.

About Ads and Advertisers.
| Printers Ink.l

An ad in the paper is worth two on
your store front.
Advertise honest. 1t takes five MIN
utes to disappoint a customer-hve
years to reassure him.
The man who advertises frequently
is kept busy stocking up his store and
storing up stocking.
Advertising is 20 business as oil to an
engine, and the latter requires it con-
tnuously.
The idea that "people will buy
Christmas presents anyway" is good
as far as it goes; but the newspaper ad
very often decides them as to where
they will purchase.
Seeing an ad reminds some one that
he, or she, needs the article advertised.
If your name follows, 1t lies to reason
that person may come to you.
Some advertisers were first led to ad-
vertise as last desperate resort TO get
rid II large stock OF goods. The
results proved 50 gratifying that they
became regular advertisers.
The difference between the man who
advertises and the man who doesn't is,
the one find his foor, crowded and
his shelves empty. and the other finds
his shelves crowded and his floors
empty.
December is one OF the best months
| in which to advertise. The others are
August, January, April, July, October,
June, February, May, September,
March, and November.
