Dear sister, twinborn with this temple

Who hast led me, in pity, through

Dost thou weary of helping thy brother
to find
A way through this world, while his
senses are blind?
Dast thou seek to be free from thy
mooring below,
Where pleasures are Weighted with
many a woe:
Where each ardent wish is no more
than a dream.
And Hope dies in yearning for bless
lngs supreme?
Full we'll do I know that the object of
life
Is to teach us to conquer what passions
are rife:
To develop u natures, and teach us
to CLEAN
Every flower in our paths where its
beauty is seen:

And bade me to look at myself in the
spring:
The form which thou seest is what I
control,
is not thy true self, for I am thy

apprehend the guilty, but with
out avail. The burning of these
two churches bad one happy eff
fect-it drew the good people of
both congregations closer to-
gether, and being of limited
means they pooled their funds
and joined together to build one
church to be used by both cons
gregations in common. Many Of
our citizens here in Goldsboro
and throughout this section con
tributed to the building fund,
and eventually a neat little
church was erected on the site of
the burned ones. This was to
have oeen dedicated next Sun
day; but last Saturday night, the
same fend. doubtless, who
burned the other two, set fire to
this one and il was completely
destroyed. It is devoutly to be
hoped that the nameless culprit
can be caught this time.
A SPECIAL train came up over
the A & N. G. r. r. Saturday
night, bringing Mr.. W. A. VIM
satt, and his cousin DR. Johnson,
of Washington. d. G. Mr.. Wins
satt is the president of the Colds

now operated at Dover, n. c.,
ana Of which company our towns
man Mr.. ] j. Street is vice
president and general manager,
and Of which the late lamented
Mr.. T. B. Lyman was secretary.
The object Of Mr.. Wimsatt's
visit at this time was for the
purpose Of attending a meeting
of the company to elect a sue
.essor to Mr.. Lyman, aud for
this important position Mr.. Zach

THE WORLD AGAINST HER"

The Boston Herald says: "the
Grand Opera House was densely
crowded last night. every seat in
the vast theatre and most of the
standing room being occupied.
This was the opening of the third
weeks engagement of Agnes
Wallace Villa and her excellent
company. The bill was changed
the attraction being Mr.. Frank
Harvey's thrilling English melo-
dramatic success, entitled 1.-The
World Against Her" This was
the first presentation of the play
in this city, and its reception
augurs for it a week of great sue
cess. The curtain Was raised at
the conclusion OF every act, and
this was not sufficient. for those
causing the demonstration were
obliged to step before the foot
lights and bow their acknowl-
edgements. Agnes Wallace Villa
enacts the role Of Madge Carlton,
representing a loving wife and
fond mother. Suspicion is attached
to her on account Of her holding a
secret for a reckless young
woman, and her husband is seps
arated from her by divorce, her
child stolen from her, and in the
words of the title Of the play
The World Against Her" is
strongly illustrated. Har wans
behring's through the slums of
London and falling in with hons
est people, is a pretty picture of
human life in the midst of adyer,
stiles. Throughout the whole
piece the scenes and incidents are
SO greatly changed that it seems
really surprising that so much
can be embodied in one drama
AS in all such plays everything
turns out happily at the end, the
prosecuted are made contented
and the Williams are brought to
justice.
THE play is full Of action; all
the incidents are stirring; the
language is vigorous; the char
acter sketches is vivid, and every
climax is ingeniously o~ontrived
and thoroughly effective"
This play will be presented in
the Messenger Opera House, Of
this city on Saturday night of
this week.

The extract is taken from a
recent correspondence in the
Wilmington Messenger and is as
follows:
Now I beg space to notice
briefly one other Of Mr.. Keith's
Wild statements. He says:
AS for other countries dump
ing their silver on u.s., don't let
that worry you, They are not
fools enough to give their wealth
away. Probably they are using
Mexico as their dumping ground.
as she has free and unlimited
coinage of silver, and while all
the gold standard countries are
having a panic and maintaining
standard armies to keep down
Communism, Anarchy, tramps,
etc, yet Mexico with a race far
inferior to our Arian stock, is
making strides that are surpris-
ing the thinkers Of the world.
Yet she is what you would call
the dumping ground for the sill
Yer Of the gold standard coun-
tries They are probably flooding
her as you say they would food
us, and this is why she is pros
porous"
My. My! What a dream. Now
what IRE the facts about Mr..
keith's glorious silver standard
Mexico? Simply this: You can
take ten American silver dollars
to Mexico any day in the week
and they will give you nineteen
Mexican silver dollars in ex-
change for them. Each one of
their silver dollars contains five
grains more pure silver than
ours. Why should anyone be
fool enough to ship silver bullion
to Mexico to be coined when it
IS not worth 1 cent more after it
is coined than it was before. Any
thing else about Mr.. Keith's
Mexico? Yes; how much
money has she got per capita?
She has 5, II as follows: Forty.
one cents in gold II cents in
paper; in silver S413, worth in
our money S2.19. Anything else?
Yes; her laborers get from Is to
80 cents for q days work, while
the laboler in the poor down
trodden gold standard United
States only gets from so cents
to IS for a days work. and then
we only have about S25 per cap
TIA, while Mexico has 81. II
worth III our money S2.77. Is it
any wonder Mexico is prosper
our and we hard up?
Yours truly,

IS not entirely correct. Those

Butler are just as much Repub-

The Late Justice jackson.

Washington, Nov. 10.-At the
adjourned meeting of the bar OF
the Supreme court of the United
States held this morning Secre~
tary O1ney presided, and Assis-
tant Attorney General Dickinson,
chairman of the committee on
resolutions, appointed at the
meeting on October 18th, re-
ported resolutions expressing
the high esteem of the bar of the
Supreme court for the late As
sociate Justice Howell Edmunds
jackson, Of Tennessee. and their
sympathy with his bereavee fam
lily. The resolutions were advo~
Gated i'll elegant eulogies by Sec
rotary Olney, Assistant Attor-
ney General Dickinson, Hon. W.
A. Maury and others.
In the course Of his remarks
Mr. Maury read a letter from
President Harrison to Justice
Jackson which, he said, he was
sure would enhance the country's
appreciation of the magnani-
nifty and discernment that sug-
gested his promotion to the SUI
preme bench.
The resolutions were then
adopted and will be presented to
the Supreme court by Attorney
General Harmon next Monday.
Following is Mr.. Harrison's
letter:
Private) lex. MANSION,
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4. 1898.
Hon. Howell E. Jackson, Nashville.
Tennessee:
my DEAR SIR-I have your
telegram thanking me for send
ing your name to the Senate for
the vacant position on the SUI
preme bench. My acquaintance
with you in the Senate and the
information I have had since
from the bar Of your circuit gave
me. I thought, the needed as
surance that you would exercise
the duties of this high and re-
sponsible Office with industry,
fidelity and patriotism.
81 have never believed in a
partisan judiciary. Only politics
in the larger sense should have
anything to do with such ap,
pointments. I would not. of
course, appoint to the Supreme
bench a man who held views Of
the Constitution and Of the DOW
ers of the general government
that [ thought subvereed or di-
minished the necessary powers.
Il have believed from nv
knowledge Of you and represen-
tatives Of others that you were a
believer in the nation and did not
sympathize with the opinion that
a United State was an alien Off
cial or that election frauds or
other infraCtions OF the Federal
statutes were deserving Of aught
but indignant condemnation and
punishment.
Il know you to be a ~conscien>
tious judge and God fearing
man. and if the Senate shall
ratify your nomination I do not
fear that any passing criticisms
which have fallen upon me for
your selection will endure.
81 have been most sincerely
DESTROYS of obliterating all Sec

THE sudden death of Rev. DR..
G.. Durham, at one time pastor of
the Baptist church in this city,
and quite a noted divine through
out the State, occurred at his
home in Raleigh Thursday night.
His critical sickness, of heart
trouble, dated only from last
Saturday. He was 81 years of
age, a native of Cleveland coun
ty, served in the Confederacy
durin g the war and in 1860 grad
uated at Wake Forest College,
being then a Baptist preacher
He has preached all over the
State and for ten years was en-
gagged in mission work. He was
the most aggressive Baptist in
the State and led the fight
against State aid to the Univer~
sity. He was one of the most in
fuential men in his church, per-
haps the most influential. He
leaves a wife, the daughter of
the late Professor Walters of
Wake Forest, aud two sons.

Words.

One day u harsh word rashly said,
Upon an evil journey sped,
And, like sharp and cruel dart,
1t pierced fond and loving heart;
1t turned friend into foe,
And everywhere brought pain and woe
A kind word followed it one day,
Flew swiftly on its blessed way;
1t healed the wound, it soothed the pain,
And friends of old were friends again ;
1t made the hate and anger cease,
And everywhere brought JOY ana peace.
But vet the harsh word left trace
The kind word could not quite ctfacc
And though the heart its love retained,
1t bore scar that long remained;
Friends could forgive, but not forget,
Or lose the sense of keen regret.
Oh, if We could but learn to know
How swift and sure one word can go,
How would we weigh, with utmost care,
Each thought before it sought the air,
And only speak the words that move
Like whitc-wingcd messengers of love
