JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER.

When on my day of life the night is falling,
And in the winds from unsunned spaces
blown,

My feet to paths unknown,
Thou who hast made my home of life so
Leave not its tenant when its walls
decay;
Oh. Love divine Oh. Helper ever present
Be thou my strength and stay.
Earth, sky. homes picture, days of shade
and shine,
And kindly faces to my own uplifting,
The love which answers mine.
Ihave but Thee, oh, Father Let Thy Spiri
BE with me then to comfort and uphold
No gate of pearl, no branch of palm
merit,
Nor street of shining gold.
Suffice it if my good and ill unreckoned,
ing grace,
| find myself by hands familiar beckoned
Unto my fitting place
Some humble door among Thy many
mansions,
tCollt SH0IIclluS SHdut WltIt Sill duU
striving cease,
And flows forever through Heavens green
expansions
The river of Thy peace.
There, from the music round about me
stealing,
fain would learn the new and holy
song,
And find at last beneath Thy trees OF
healing
The life for which long.

NORTH CAROLINA
The Greatest of Southern States.
IBiblical Recorder.

blDllCdl heCOIuGI.
A Soutf Carolina paper startled us
all the other day by saying that North
Carolina is the greatest Southern State.
We cannot say tor that, having had
mere glimpses of the other States but
we hope the South Carolina journal is
right. North Carolina has land and
water, hills, valleys and plains, forests,
herbs, cereals, vegetables, fruits, sheep,
dogs, cattle, horses, birds, fowls and
folks, and ores and precious stones
besides. We have landscapes, gran
deur, magnificence, healthful airs and
! waters. There are numerous manufaC-
tories and corporate enterprises, rail-
ways and the like. If any State has
something that we can not show, poll
tics and religions excluded, we hope it
will hold up its hands. But we can
not make such an exhibit of these
things at Atlanta as will be of any
considerable advantage to the State.
People at exposltions are sight seeing
or pleasure seeking; they are not
immigrants. Most of them have homes
and occupations. They might look at
pictures, but they would have no idea
of our scenery they might read circu-
lars, but they could not be expected
to believe what they say. They might
be forced to examine some bottles ol
grain, case of tobacco, stalk ol
cotton, set of jewels or pile of ore,
but they would hardly be impressed.
People do not go to expositlons to
study :; their main object is to find
unusual sights to tell home folks of.
The development Of North Carolina
depends upon North Carolinans. II
we can not develop our State, we who
have risen to life from the ashes oi
desolation, immigrants can not. We
would welcome desirable immigrants,
but we shall not lament if they go to
other States. The passion for immi'
grafton generated the revulsion which
the West is now suffering.
North Carolina does not need i'm
migration it does need more and
better schools, better roads, and pure
and economic government. institute
these and exterminate whiskey selling
and we will have to fight off lmmlgra'
ton, without even SO much as making
a display or printing circular.

WOMAN'S SPHERE.
A Strong and Manly Plea in Her
Behalf.
charlottesville (Va.) Progress. |

Charlottesville va Progress
AS long as there are thousands of
Southern women dependent upon their
own exertions for a livelihood, and
many other thousands who are forced
to provide for Others dependent upon
them, to say nothing of those who are
helpless charges upon fathers or
brothers that are struggling with the
great bread and butter problem, it is
mawkish sentiment TO talk about
woman's sphere being limited to the
home circle and her brightness being
dimmed by any honorable employ
ment. So long as the necessity for
work does not exist and dependence
means no sacrifice of self-respeCt, there
can be no question of woman's duty
| being found close to the home circle.
That is her natural element from
which she goes only by force Of circum-
stances and from the same sense of
duty that influences every true woman's
conduct in whatever shpere of life fate
may find her. All this moonshine
about woman being a frail and tender
plant against which no rude winds
must blow, has all the poetry knocked
out of it when we observe these same
fral plants battling with poverty
and reverse Of fortune without having
undergone any training or discipline
before the fight began.
The doctrines that we have en-
| deavored to promulgate are these:
True Southern chivalry should find
expression in standing to one side,
with lifted hats, and giving women a
chance to make living in any honor
able vocation.
That it is cheap sentiment which
idealizes women in the abstract and
at the same time shuts in their faces
many of the doors which open upon
pathways less thorny than they are
forced SO many times to tread.
That it should be made more " fash
ionable" for women to work than be
supported in idleness and denied
needed comforts.
That every opportunity to obtain
higher or more practical education
should be given to the young women
of the country.
The Chicago Herald gives an illus
tration which strengthens our views
upon the subject:
When the Office of president of the
board Of lady managers Of the Colum-
bian eXh ,iuou was opened in Chicago
its mail bcc,me heavy from the start
with applications for employment by
Southern women. Instead of having
anything to exhibit, nine times in ten
the letter was a solicitation for place
to earn 4 living Mrs. Palmer's strong
Southern sympathies were more practl-
cal, more noble than those of these
chivalrOus Obstructives who would let
women in the South starve rather than
let them work. Mrs. Palmer gave
nearly every place of importance on
her own staff to a Southern woman
Her department was filled with South
ern women. They were eager to get
appointment, they were highly capable
to discharge the duties they undertook
they were among the most faithful, the
most efficient, the most resourceful ant
most amiable of all connected with thu
Fair.
There are many Southern women
earning in Northern cities to-day the
honorable bread denied them by
maudlin bigotry calling itself "chlv'
alry' in their own States.

LEFT STEAMERS ON DRY LAND
Sudden Fall of Water In the Cape Fear
River Finds the Boats on the Bars.

Sudden Fail of Water In the Cnps Fear
River Finds the Boats on the Bars.
FAYETTEVILLE, n. c.. January b.
For the past few days, the Cape Fear
river has been at full flood water, being
seventy feet above common water, the
highest point ever known in its history.
Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock, the
water commenced falling at such
rapid rate that the steamers which had
run out of the channel could hardly get
back to channel water. The Cape Fear,
fine boat, struck 50 hard on bar
that she lay and pounded herself to
pieces breaking amidships and becom-
ing a total wreck. The Huert, steel
bottom boat, is beached, lying fully
200 feet from the channel in about five
feet Of water but is in no danger now.
