God render Or the voice Of you, MY
darling. Musicl I read about it and
saw the notes in the music book, and |

the angel will say TO Il Lifelong invalid:
"Did you ever breathe air like this?
Such balm! Such tonic! Such immortal
life in every respiration Did you ever
have any climate Oh earth like this
climate of heaven?' And the soul says:
This is the first time in many Il lcLg
year I have been freed from pain. AS /
passed through the river by that gate
the last ache left me, and l am well,
gloriously well, everlastingly well. /
have swallowed the last bitter draft.

l have passed the last sleepless night,
and now I realize the beauty Of what
st. John said in Revelation, There
shall be no more pain" And then the
martyrs and the prophets and the apos-
ties will take up the chorus, and all the
recovered invalids from earth will join
in the triumphant refrain that sulges
to and fro from east gate of heaven to
west gate. Chorus, "No more pain, no
more pain, no more pain, no more
painl'
My hearers, it will be a great heaven
for all who get through, but the best
heaven for those who had on earth
nothing but struggle. Blessed all those
who before they entered the gate Of

A curl ms point in Swedish criminal
law is that confession is necessary be-

out. If, however, the culprit persists in
protesting his innocence in the face of
overpowering evidence, the prison dis

& Card.

Editors FISHERMAN & FARMER,
Gcntlcmen:-Will you kindly
give me space enough in your
valuable paper to thank the Pro-
prietor and the management
generally Of the Panlico Inn for
cour,esies shown me while in
Washington with the ball team
from Edenton, also to accept
apologies from Manager Bragaw
and Mr.. Jordan, member of the
Washington team, who express
ed themselves as very much az
grieved at the way the "rooters"
Gas they are called) acted toward
me and said the good people of
Washington disapproved of any
such action, and Mr.. Jordan said
if there was repetition of it the
next day he would take off his
suit forever as a mem Der OF the
team.
l would like also to pay my
respects to Mr.. Arthur, of the
Messenger, for what he claims to
be write-up of the game in
which | am assailed as follows:
"That umpire, Bond has the
right name--we suggest Eden>
ton "Bound' him out to some
good farmer to catch bugs off
the tobacco plants. If cannon
ball would hit him IN the back
-ball-take your base. A purse
will be made up for him to go to
Chinatown to "suck" wind"
In order that might right
myself with those who read the
Messenger and failed to witness
the game, will say that every
decision made by me was as | be-
lieVed 10 be correct and accord
ing to base bail rules.
| am again assaiIed III the
Messenger Of Aug End, under the
h ad Of "Hearsays," which is
"tle TN pire from Edenton had
money Oil the game and it had
not been contradicted." | will
say for the benefit Of those who
might have little sense enough
to believe the Messenger S
charge, that I have never
bet on base ball games in my
life, and it would be very un>
gentlemanly i'll any one to accept
the position as umpire and have
a bet on the game.
As to the Messenger man, | do
not care to reply or invite news
paper controversy. He is too
we'll known i'll his community
and too dirty and contemplate
to receive any recognition at my
hands. and unless he can loose
himself from the mania for Pei
fumery and Cigars he may soon
be "bound," not "to a farmer to
catch bugs but by handouts
and escorted to a place other
than "Chinatown." The black
eye he received, the result of a
pipe and slanderous remarks, is
another evidence that he is unfit
to occupy such dignilicd posi-
ton as Editor and that he is bet
ter suited for State work.
| hope this will satisfy your
readers that l acted fairly and
lmpaTtially, and | promise to
trouble YOU no more. Yours &C.,
