but poor old North Carolina is con-
splcuous by its absence, because as is

privilege to have visited many of the
leading expositions held in the United
States, beginning with the Philadel
phIa Centennial in 1876 and ending
with the Chicago Exposition in 1893,
and after seeing them all we are
pleased TO state that the Atlanta Ex-
position compares most favorably with
any OF them. While neither its build
lngs nor its exhibits are as large and
extens' as those of the Chicago Ex-
position, yet they may be termed a re-
production on smaller scale and can
be seen and examined with much less
fatigue and more thoroughly and sat

varieties of hard wood beautifully pol

eighteen varieties of grapes, ten vari-

attempt TO describe each of these
buildings nor its exhibits in detail, but
may do so in subsequent issues of the
Record. We would here state, how
ever, that probably the most complete
anc instructive exhibit Of all is to be
seen in the L. S. Government Building,
and every visitor can spend much time
there most pleasantly and proftably.
He will there see much of what is to
be seen in the different departments at

All North Carolinians who visit this

roof with them. Many of us cannot
escape some of them. They are pcv-
erty, sin, intemperance, malice, vanity,
falsity, impatience, ignorance and in
tolerance. Pleasure has no battle with
any OF these; not one of them would
dare look into those innocent eyes and
offer to fight her, but they sneak up and
begin sapping out the very life of pleas
ure. She grows pale and weak, we grow
anxious about her; she sickens and
droops. We make great endeavors to
save her. She fingers some time with
a weakening illness while we watch by
her night and day, till at last she dies.
Or in other cases, one of these enemies

hearts of all who meet her. They love
to hear her silvery voice and merry
laughter, to feel the embrace of her
tiny arms, her warm breath against
their cheeks and to get her fresh kisses.
Her glorious reputation fills the minds
of those who know her not, with a pas
sionate longing to be introduced into
her presence. When one dwells with
pleasure long while she SO enhances
his expectations, his want OF excitement,
his desires, ,ha. out Of her presence he
finds bitterness and WEAKNESS that is
worse than death. But beautiful pleas
ure has many enemies. These enemies

Of our existence, when storm
clouds were shutting out the light, when
the birds had ceased to sing and the
air was chill, then was Hope born to
our rescue. Pleasure was frail and
young and could not face dangers and
wrongs and sorrow. But Hope is pa

Pleasure she comes in all her purity

US with hands that never falter from

when pleasure is dead, for we loved
her so. She was our greatest care; we
did everything to please her. We lived
on her tender caresses and pure kisses.
With an aching heart and dropping
head We bury her with our own hands
in cold dismal grave. Our tender
loved being is gone, but what is left

tells US that one day our lovely child

almost certain to be healthy. A complaint
at this time is catarrh in some of its yari-

to purify the blood. The most obstinate
