A Beautiful Day.
ny MARTHA EsrELLA RUSH.

I thought tonight AZ I stood in the
cleaning,
How much like day our lives seem to
be;
In the morn comes the sunrise, at noon
II Is shining
Brighter than ever, else cloud we may
sec.
At eve comes the sunset, Oh none the
less glorious
Because It's the end OF a beautiful day
For although the night may bring all OF
darkness,
We feel that its shadow hath not com,
to stay.
IT'S thus in our youth we first see the
dawnihg
of our hopes and ambition so uncertain
and frail
To unfold as the sun coming up from
the mountain,
Or be hidden by clouds till they leav,
not trail;
And when in due time we near the las
portal
And the beauty of life is fast driftin.
away,
oh, then in our sunset by glory we'r,
crowned,
If we read the glad promise--an eter
ual day.

er Parl,. from NeH York, which arrived
last Eight, rapDr0s having encountered
terrific weetner, with mountainous
seas, which swept over her deck. On
the morning OF Oct. "a, at 1.10 o'clock,
during the height Of the storm she
came into collision 30 miles from Sell
ly Island, with bark or full rugged
ship, the name Of which 1t was impossi.
ole to learn. The officers Of the Paris
believe the sailing vessel was cut cum
pletely in two. The Paris stood by for
five hours, until daybreak, with her
boats in readiness to rescue any OF the
crew of the unfortunate vessel that
might be seen, but they saw no trace OF
the ship. The vessel was struck amid
ships and it Is thought must have foun-
dered Immediately, all hands on board
going down with her. The lookout on
board the Paris believes the sunken
vessel to have bsen ship OF about
$500 tons. She was not seen until the
Paris was 80 close to her that 1t was i'm
possible to avert collision. The bow
plates of the Paris were slightly In
denced but otherwis she was not in
jured.

received here today from Capt. 0. Z.
Mills Of this city, dated Z ScaVard, N
c., brought the news that L. c. Cover
OF this city was drowned tlis morning
while bathing in the French Broad
river. Mt. Cover was 73 years old,
but man Of remarkable vlgor Of body
and mind. He owned beautiful place
in the French Broad valley. His home
ran down TO the river and he was pas
sionately devoted to swimming, having
often remarked that the water could
never get too cold for him. He went
from here to his summer place last
Monday, accompanied by Capt. Mills.
Probably he left Capt. Mills at the
house and went to the river for final
plunge, as he was to have returned
here tomorrow. 1t Is known he went
alone and the theory Is that be was
taken with crsmp. The body was re.
covered. a. G. Cover, son OF the de-
ceased started from here over the
this afternoon, carrying a
casket and an undertaken. The deceas-
ed was one of the most prominent men
of this city. Greery!lle is filed with
monuments Of his public spirit and he
probably did more to build and develop
the city than any other one man. He
was native of Maine. but came here
fifty odd years ago,-State.
