SEVENTY-SIX.

So / am seventy-six today.
That's very old, the children say.
To them it seems so far away.
All, children, yes, the way is long.
The memories that round me tbrong
Cannot be told in idle n
Has life been pleasant? No and yes.
Sometimes a dreary wilderness,
Sometimes too full of b~lessedness.
Is it vexation, vanity?
Have you not chided destiny?
Were it not better not to be?
My way has been with perils rife.
Vexation, vanity and strife
Attend, but they are not our life. i.
The life behind me, though untold
Its woes, its crosses manifold
l would not sell for pearls or gold.
The restful hours have sweeter been,
The hours Of joy far more serene
For all the toll and tears between.
Does not the future gloomy seem?
Brighter than any morning dream
The evening lights that round IN,
stream.
Is nothing wanting? One thing, yes.
The old time friends l sorely miss.
Give them to me. l ask but this.
Together lovingly we wrought
For truth and liberty and thought.
l call them now-they answer not.
Then have you WEALTH. With empt,
hands
l touch these shining sunset sands.
l have no gold, no home, no lands.
Nothing? Yes, much. Rich treasures
OF hopes and blessed memories,
And endless life my b bright Is.
OneOnta SDy.

Don't Be EnviOus,

The men or women who envey
those who happen to be able to dress
well and to enjoy the pleasures of
life a little more than those who are
compelled to work continually will
be miserable all their days, for no
matter how high they may get, they
will find others still higher. The en-.
vious person is never satisfied and
never can be. Take the successful
men of the city, and you will find
that the majority of them began Just
where you did. Then why are you not
in equally good circumstances? If you
ran a race with a man and lost it, you
would hardly blame your failure on
the race course. You started even
and ran together, and you lost be-
cause you couldn't run as fast as he
OF lacked the power of endurance,
So your failure in the race of life is
not due to the track, but to your lack
OF ability as a runner .-Pittsburg
Commercial Gazette.
Tears as a Medicine.
The P~ersians + the only people
in the world that still adhere to the
old custom of bottling tears. In that
country it constitutes an important
part in the funeral ceremonies per-
formed over the dead. Each of the
mourners is presented with a sponge
with which to mop the face and eyes,
and after the burial these are taken
by a priest, who squeezes the tears
into bottles. Mourners' tears are be-
lieved to be the most efficacious rem
edy that can be applied in several
forms of Persian diseases. The GUS
tom of bottling tears is mentioned in
the Bible. See Psalms lvi, S.-St.
Louis Republic.
A Great Strawberry Town.,
Van Buren,, Ark, a town of 1000
people, is the greatest strawberry
shipping port in the southwest and
is in the center of the fruit growing
belt OF Arkansas, which made the
magnificent fruit display at the
Worlds fair. The climate in this
section is much like that of southern
California, the country being shell
tered on the west and north by noun
tains. 1t is said that this is the
wealthiest town of it's size in the
southwest. Chicago Record.
A Graveyard Expedient.
A man living in Australia who has
been SO unfortunate as to lose five
excellent wives desired to erect a
headstone for each, concentrating
her virtues, but has been deferred by
the expense. The other day a happy
thought struck him. The five wives
were buried side by side in the same
graveyard. He accordingly had the
Christian name Of each engraved on
a small stone-"Emma," "Jane,"
MARY" Margaret" Elizabeth
a hand cut on each stone pointing to
a large stone in the center of the lot
and under each hand the words, For
epitaph see large stone" London

How Old Sport Missed the Correct Inter-

AN lsuperstitious? Not for some
years now" observed the old sport
as he uptilted the glass. why,
haven't l ever told you of that great
tip l got one out at st. Louis. I got
up one morning resolved to play the
nags and play them strong. 1 got a
racing card and studied the entries
carefully. l didn't know anything
about pedigrees, for my lay was the
green cloth. I just determined the
game was nothing but guessing the
winner, and l wasn't going to allow
anybody to fool me with any lead
pipe cinches.' I'd guess myself.
well, sir, l walked out on the
street and kept running the names of
those horses through my hand.
Block and block I walked. Every
once in awhile l would look up to
see about where I was. Blame me. if
every time I took my latitude, if l
wasn't just passing an undertaker's
establishment. Finally I stopped to
20 back to the hotel, and what do you
suppose was in the vacant lot on that
corner9 A tombstone factory. The
matter fastened itself on nv mind.

blue.
81 pulled out the card and read
among the entries, C. K. Collins CHI.

told me that Coffin was a Kentucky
horse breeder, but came from Scot
land and had a habit of getting as
near as possible 20 the characters in

half mile stretch, and I was dead

Warner. "One day an Italian organ

the man stopped before my house to

The Old Country Road.


Where did it come from, and where did il 70?
That was the question that puzzled us 50
As we waded the dust Of the highway that
flowed
By the farm like a river-the old country road.
We stood with our hair sticking up through
the crown
OF our hat as the people went up and went
down,
And we wished in our hearts as our eyes fairly
glOwed
We could find where it came from-the old
country road.
We remember the peddler who came with his
pack
Adown the old highway and never went back.
And we wondered what things he had seen as
he strobe
From some fabulous place up the old country
We remember the stage drivers look of de-
light
And the crack of his whip as he whirled into
sight,
And we thought we could read in each glance
he bestowed
A tale of strange life up the old country road.
The movers came by like a ship in full sail.
With a rudder behind in the shape Of a pail.
With a rollicking crew and a COW that was
With a rope on her horns, down the old coun-
try road.
And the g~ypsies-how well we remember the
They camped by the old covered bridge on the
creek,
How the neigLbors quit work and the crops
were unhoed,
Till the wagons drove of down the old coun-
try road!
Oh, the top of the hill was the rim Of the world,

CHAPEL HILL, July ii, "a.
The Improvement OF our public roads

such great Importance in relation to the
welfare of the people of the state that
the University invites persons of all pro-

way to use county convicts; the best
forms Of road law and the modern meth

the cOnferece will be addressed by per.
sons prominently connected with the
work of road improvement, including
Governor Carr, the instructors in road
engineering at the University, Mr.. Nc
Macken, of Raleigh, the state geOlOgist
