A mans conduct is an unspoken
sermon.
The golden age is not behind Ebut
before us.
Of all combats. the sorest is to
conquer ourselves.
The honest man never stops to
inquire if honesty pays.
Modesty is to merit what shading
is to figure in a picture. 1t makes
it stand out in strong relief.
The wealth of a man is the number
of things which he loves and blesses,
which he is loved and blessed by.
No true work since the world began
was ever wasted; no true life since
the world began has ever tailed.
1t is not SO much the being exempt
from faults as the having overcome
them that is an advantage to us.

A MOOSE USED IN HAZING.
Serious Results of Students; IilTreat-
<ment of an OmciaFs Son

HYATTsvILLE. Md, Nov. 3.-Edwin
J. Gott, son of the Secretary of State,
is dangerously i'll from the effects of
hazing at the Maryland State Agri-
cultural College. One evening last
week the students organized a mock
court, tried and convicted Gott of
crime and proceeded to execute the
sentence OF hanging. A rope was
placed around bis chest, thrown over
d transom, and the victim was hauled
up and left banging for a time.
Gott was very much frightened, but
offered no resistance. He appeared at
breakfast on the following morning
apparently uninjured, but later in the
daysbecame violently i'll. He has had
several .convul>iOns, and becomes
weaker after each attack. 1t is sup
posed that the fright has shattered
his nervous system. There are fears
that he will not recover. Half dozen
students are kept in close confinement
awaiting the result OF his illness.

Successor TO the Lat. Dr. Reid.

Prof. Dred Peacock, who for seven
years, has been associated with Green's
boro Female College, and who, upon
the death of the late President Reid,
was at once made chairman of the
faculty, was on Oct. 31st unanimously
elected president of that institution
at a full meeting Of the board of di-
rectOrS.
The Record says that this announce
ment gives universal pleasure in
Greensboro where Prof. Peacock is
best known, and the general senti-
ment is that not only Methodism but
the friends of education throughout
the State are to be congratulated up
on the well merited promotion of this
scholarly gentleman to the head of

THE NEWEST LINGERIE.
Nishtgowns Are vo1uminous, and the Old
Chemise Has Been Revived.

The odious garment called ''combina-
tion, which has had a long battle for
popularity among the fashionable wom-
Ell, wherein it ANONYMOUSLY failed, will
be worn this season only by those who
affect the health dress reform and wom-
en- whose excessive ay0irdupOis makes
an extra half inch to their waist a seri-
Gus calamity. No greater proof is want
ed of the failure to attain general pa
tronage for the combinations than
the revival of the old chemise, which we
are assured has come to stay. 1t returns
with it's original length of 1 ID yards,
but is not without novel features. The
new garment is made with knife laid
tucks at the bottom. There is quantity
of bead work done with threads about
the shoulders, and the neck and sleeve
holes are lace, drawn work and ribbons.
At the belt is decidedly novel wrinkle
draw strings, two sets. One ties in
the back and one in front. This is to
form the French waist, which has the
gathers confined in two spots, and also
to do away with the corset cover.
The exquisite daintiness and perfec
ton which undergarments have achieved
is nowhere moro closely demonstrated
than in the nightgowns of linen, cam
brio and French nainsook, which are
sufficiently voluminous to serve by day
as wrappers. Many of these gowns re-
Quire as much art in their fashioning
and trimming as dress. They have
flowing full front breadths cut down low
at the throat as rule, the back tucked

from Cleveland county to the Cabar-
rus chain gang. He was suffering
with defective eyesight and soon
became blind, Being pronounced
hopelessly blind by two competent
physicians he was given his freedom
and returned to his native county.
On regaining his freedom his blind
ness ceased to plague him and he re
gained bis sight to such an extent
that he returned to Cabarrus last
week and stole ahorse from ex-Sheriff
Propst. He was arrested in Sails
bury and now languishes in Cabar-
rus jail.

The First Printer.
From the Jewish Messenger.

From the Jewish Messenger.
When Faustus had printed off in
1850 number of copies of the Bible
he undertook the sale OF them in
Paris, where printing was then un-
known. AS he sold his copies for sixty
crowns, while the scrlbes demanded
500 for their manuscripts, he created
universal astGnishment; but when he
produced copies as fast as they were
wanted, and lowered the prices to
thirty crowns, all Paris was in agita-
tion. The uniformity of the copies
greatly increased tie wonder.
Information was given to the
police against him as magician. His
lodgings being consequently searched
and a great number of copies being
found, they were seized. The red ink
with which they were embelished was
supposed to be his blood, and it was
seriously adjudged that he was in
league with the devil; and it is pre-
sumed that, if he had not fled, he
would have shared the fate OF those
whom superstitious judges in those
days condemned for witchcraft.

A Spiders Appetite.

The spider is said to be voracious
eater and first class glutton. An
Englishman who boarded one for
several months and kept count Of
what it ate, says that eating in the
same proportion a man weighing 166
pounds would require whole fat
steer, and no small one either, for
breakfast, steer and five sheep and
four hogs for supper, and then want a
lunch of five barrels of fish before re-
tiring. And yet the average spider
seems to be pretty healthy.
