A HEALTH ALPHABET,

AS soon as you are up shake blanket
and sheet
Better be without shoes than sit with
wet feet:
Children, if healthy, are active, not
still
Damp sheets, damp clothes, will both
make you ill
Eat slowly and always chew your food
we'll
Freshen the air IN the house where
YOU dwell
Garments must never be made too
Homes will be healthy if airy and
light;
If you wish to be healthy, as you do,
I've no doubt,
Just open the windows before you go
out;
Keep your rooms always tidy and
clean;
Let dust on the furniture never be
seen;
Much illness is caused for the lack of
pure air;
Now to open your windows be ever
your care
Old rags and old rubbish should never
be kept;
People should see that their floors are
well swept;
Quick movements in children are
healthy and right
Remember the young cannot thrive
without light;
See that the cistern is clean to the
brlm
Take care tnat your dress is all tidy
and trim
Use YOUR nose to find out if there be
very bad drain
Very sad are the fevers that come in
its train;
Walk as much as YOU can without
feeling fatigue:
Xerxes, the king, could walk full many
league
Your health is your wealth, which
your wisdom must keep;
Zeal will help a good cause, and the
good you will reap.

NORTH CAROLINA.
What a Northern Editor Thinks Of
the Old North State.

4. K Mcclure. in Philadelphia Times
North Carolina is now single from
the other reconstructed States in hav-
ing attained, solely by the efforts of
her own people, higher degree Of gen
earal prosperity than she ever before
attained in her history.
She has more prosperous and thrift
ty people to-day than at any period Of
the past, and there is more capital en-
ployed and less debt, State and indi-
yidual, than at any time in the last
century. Texas has surpassed the Old
North State because of her large In
fux of immigration and wealth but
North Carolina has fewer foreigners
and more completely homogeneous
population than any other State of the
Union.
Since the rescue of the State from
the tempest Of profligacy that swept
over it after the war, taxes have steadily
diminished and the schools have increas-
ed uutil they proffer education to every
child in this commonwealth, regardless
of color.
Her legitimate debt is steadily re-
duced her treasury has a large sur
plus, her humane institutions, con-
Quoted with equal care and outlay for
both races, are monuments of credit
her public improvements have kept
pace with the growing wants OF her
people her authority reflects the pride
of the STAT e in its stainless integrity,
and thrift and content are the com
mon blessings of her people.
When it is considered that North
Carolina has every important mineral
within her borders, from gold to iron
that she has every variety of soil for
every variety of crops, from wheat
to cotton that every variety OF ell
mate, from the sunny southern
coast to the chills of the highest
peak of the Appalachian range;
that she has waterpower enough IN a
single river to spin and weave the
whole cotton of the South, and that
her lands are nearly as cheap and her
climate better than the West-when
these facts are weighed in the scale of
intelligence, the momentous meaning
of New South may be understood in
the North as it is now understood in
the Carolinas.

Bishop Marvin's Story.

Bishop Marvin, Of the Methodist
Episcopal church. relates that, a. he
was travelling during the wilds OF Ar
kansas, feeling Of depression took
possession Of him.
The Union soldiers had driven him
from home but ~ he drew near TO a
dilapidated old log cabin. he heard
some one singing
Nearer ny God, To Thee"
Dismounting, he entered the hut
where he found poor old woman, IN
the midst Of extreme poverty, singing
it a. he had never heard il sung before
HI, fears and worry and depression
vanished. and he continued his way
happy and trustful, because Of the
faith which he had witnessed. and tie
hvrnn which he had heard.

ing of evil al the suggestion that there
Is danger that this grand old common
wealth Will lapse into barbarisp

crats or the strife Of contending fac
tions2
Appreciation of public service, is a
virtue. and il is honorable in North
Carolinians 10 desire the elevation of
distinguished men who have given
their lives 10 the service OF the State,
but advancement of no man should
weigh a feather against the more sub
stantial interest of the people in good
government and the proper recogni-
ton Of their rights and privileges
The question OF County Government
alone is OF far greater Importance to
the people of this section than any
question relating to the Federal Gov
ernment and it will not do to sacrifice
civilization on the altar OF personal
ambition.
Now is a time when it is important
to bring forword our best men for the
Legislature-men of broad minds and
with the people men who cannot be
captured by Establishments nor seduc-
ed by the song OF the siren.

Advantages Of Farm Life.
North CnrOliniinn.

North C0rOHni0n.
One of the great advantages of farm
life is its healthfulness. Statistics show
that the farmers life is the most
healthy.
Forty ner cent. of farmers reach
the age of seventy years, against 80 per
cent. among merchants, 33 among sol
diers, 80 among lawyers and % among
physicians Out of 100 farmers. 2O.6
per cent die every year.
There is less of that worry that short
ems life than in almost any other Occu-
patiOns. True enough the farmer has
to work hard, and his business Is at the
mercy Of the destructive elements, the
ravages of insects, and the manipula-
tions of professional gamblers who alb
nOrmalize markets but take the mer-
chant, the banker, the teacher, the
minister, or any other class, and it will
be found that the rank and file work
hard. and have their world cares also.
There are a few in all the callings who
work but little and still draw big pay,
but these are exceptions and should
not be taken as standards.
A very large per cent OF merchants
fail. The fact is that in the tace OF
the statistics of this country, 1t takes
nerve to embark in the mercantile bus
mess. if a man goes into it vide
awake.
The papers of to-day snow that a
large number of banks In several
States failed yesterday. The school
teacher and minister have thousands
of annovances unknown to farm life

Il have horse that has suffered lately
from periodical fits of dizziness. Please
answer through your valuable paper,
