tached to the balloon, and Wilton assembled
hanging TO rope. When fifteen hundred
feet high the balloon was caught in cur
rent of air that carried it rapidly seward.
1t was apparent that Wilton could not
control the valve at the top of the bal
LOOM which. had it been opened, would
have allowed the gas to escape and the
balloon to gradually descend. For some
unexplainable reason the aeronaut let go
his hold of the rope from which he was
dangling, and his body shot down into the
sea with frightful velocity. The accident
occurred in full view of the spectators.

their way to the place where Wilton had
fallen. and after a short search his body
was recovered. His death must have been
almost instantaneous.

SIC TRANSIT GLORIA MUNDI.
BY A. ii. H.

AS dies babe whose sails are scarce unfurl'd
Unto the winds of life's perturbed sea.
So brightest glOrleS pass from out the WOrld.
All levePd down to cold mOrtallty.
The gauds of riches and the poor mans rags,
Are each but underclOtheS to deaths dark pail
Lazarus sores and Dives money bags
Are brought to par by the grim Reaper's CALL
No masoleum grand. can long withhold
Dust unto dust from turning back again;
What e'er the casket, be it pine or gold,
Naught more than clay may either one contain.
What profits then mans eager, ceaseless strife
To deck himself with pOmp and garner wealth.?
Nor One nor other can continue life. 80
Nor even tinge pale cheek with glow OF health.
In vain is worldly glorys glamour shed;
When the last hour tolls out its solemn knell,
Its wOrthleSSneSS fore prescient eyes IS spread,
Bereft of tinsel and OF taWdry spell.
Wealth is but mote on passing sunbeam dancing,
Compared to heavenly loves abiding peace,
Which, to the soul, gives sweet content entranc-
ing
To last forever after deaths release.
Seek then to nurture loves immortal flower,
While upon earth our pilgrimage is made;
That when the hand of Time points out deaths
hour,
Garlands of love upon our clay be laid.
Such are a treasure knowing no corruption,
Passing beyond the portals of the grave.
Giving on Wonder shore a sweet reception
To those who cross in peace the silent wave.

WHERE THEY ARE NOT.

If any Of our young people think
they can try dangerous and doubt
full things while they are young, and
pull into line later on in life; that they
can "sow wild OATS in their spring
time and yet gather clean grain in
harvest, we recommend to them the
little story of the seaman who was
plotting his craft among the rocks and
shoals of dangerous passage. Know
ing that he had never had an accident
in this long service, passenger asked
him, as he stood at the wheel, 81 sup
pose, captain, you know where all the
dangerous sunken rocks are along the
whole cOurSe?
Without turning his eyes from the
shining track before him, without un-
bending his shaggy brows, the rough
old sailor replied in a deep voice, 81
know where the channel is"
This, dear young sailors, is your only
safety-not to go humping about
trying this forbidden thing and that
but to know where the rocks are not
and to keep that track.-Ex.

Going down in the world is a very
rapid process. AS Josh Billings says:
"When man begins to go down hill
everything seems creased for the occa-
sion.' And yet the descent is accom-
plished by such easy stages that it is
with something of shock that you
realize that although last night you
were driving to your club, tonight you
are walking the streets for want OF the
necessary fourpence which would pro-
cure your entry to the coveted dogs
house."
First comes the fatal announcement
of the failure of your hopes and pros
poets you do not realize the blow
you have some money, perhaps not so
much as you were wont to squander in
a day, but you will economize, and it
must do. You determine to keep a stiff
upper lip, and leave the world none the
wiser. The first friend you meet i'm
mediately asks, why, what's the mat
ter? Anything wrong?"
NO." you reply in affected surprise.
"Why?"
"Nothing only thought you looked
rather down in the dumps.
This is a dash of cold water in your
face. and you realize that you are on
the first stage of the journey towards
the CANNES.

ture to mention the real object of you
visit; his manner suddenly drops t.
about 10 degrees below zero. He is still
polite and very, very sympathetic; bu
you feel that he is not, and can neve

that moment. He regrets that he ca

credit is severly strained-in fact, may
be said to exist solely on the condescen-
sion of your landlady, who suffers your
account to run on for fear OF losing
what is already owing and who develops
hitherto unsuspected phases of charac-
ter which do not contribute to your
comfort
You grow shabbier day by day. 1t is
astonishing how perishable wearing
apparel becomes under the baneful in
fluences of fimpecuniousity. Your trou-
sers and boots seem literally to rush to
their own obstruction, and when a
threadbare spot appears it is invariably
in the most conspicuous portion OF your
attire. You fiatter yourself the defect
will not be noticeable in the extreme
respectability of your appearance, but
when you encounter your reflection In
shop window it is the point that first
catches your eye. The rest of your get
up seems intended merely as back
ground to set off the flaw. You meet
an acquaintance, and during the con-
versation his gaze seems riveted upon
that fatal spot, which begins to burn
into you like a sinapism.
After that you shrink from meeting
acquaintances and unconsciously take
to back streets and by-ways seeking to
escape notice by sinking yourself among
the crowd of the habitually shabby; but
YOU are made to realize your failure
when some sympathizing individual
remarks that you look like "a chap
wot's seen better days. The remnant
of gentility that clings to you becomes
distasteful, you loose pride, and do not
care how slipshod you look. Your hair
is longer than you have ever worn it
by half an inch, and your mustache
takes a downward curve, with an un-
r certainty of color, and raggedness of

will remedy.

One of the noblest things in man is
to live for those who love him as we'll
as for those who hate him. The man
who can do good to those who dislike
him: return smile for all insult can
subdue an enemy quicker than by
retaliation, but it is sometimes all
fired hard work to do it. Doing it
once, however, paves the way for do
ing it a second time with less difficulty.

T. ID. COOPER DEAD.
He Breafhed His Last at His Resi-
dence Last Tuesday.

t. d. Cooper is dead.
He DIeathed his last at 2 O'Clock
Tuesday morning at his residence on
West Fourth street.
His health had been gradually fail
ing for several months, but he had
been confined to his home only a few
days. Consumption was the direct
cause of his death.
Mr.. Cooper was in his Goth year and
had been a resident of Winston for
eight years. He was held in high es-
TEEN by all who knew him. He was
native of this county, and prior to
his locating in Winston was engaged
in the mercantile business at Glenn
mOnsyille. During his residence in
this city he was connected with the
revenue stamp office.
Mr.. Cooper was married in 1856 to
Miss Sarah Wommack. They were
blessed with nine children, eight of
whom survive the father. The four
sons, Il. r., Charles, w. A. and g..
w. Cooper, are active and esteemed
Young business men of this city. All
the children, except two daughters,
Mesdames ). F. Strupe and Frank
Cook. are residents of this city.
The deceased has been member of
the Odd Fellow fraternity since his
2lst birthday, and has been hOnored
with every dignity in the gift of this
brotherhood. He has also, for many
years, been devout and, until failing
health prevented, an active member of
the Baptist church at Clemmonsville.
He was for many years an ordained
deacon In that church.
The remains were carried to Glenn
monsville for interment on Wednes-
day. The funeral service was conducted
by Rev. II. A. Brown, OF the First Bap-
tiSt church.
