Message o! Flowers.

I've been reading from the poem
God has written for the world.
There's thought Of mighty meaning
In the rose with dew empenrled.
There's IA message for his children
Folded i'll each flower that blows.
He is blind who fails to read it;
Happy he who reads and knows.

THE BOYS AND GIRLS.

Any one engaged III teaching
or Sunday School work, or who
is by any means thrown among
boys and girls of the age from 10
to IS years, must have been inns
pressed with the brightness of
many of them, and thought, too,
the possibilities that in them lie.
Have You not gone further and
wondered what kind of men and
women they will make? We
have, and have saddened at the
thought that many have poor
opportunities for improving.
They will in few years be
fathers and mothers, the men
and women Of action, and the
better the training they get the
more useful they will be.
Put these boys and girls
through the proper schooling
and they will be Of much bet
ter class than the present gener>
alton, train them and develop
the possibilities in them, and i'll
stead of ignorance you will find
enlightenment and refined
homes. You will, when you
pass hence, leave heirs you will
not be ashamed of.
This work cannot be done IL
a day. nor a year, but years OF
persistent schooling will work
wonders.

chance to be men and women

And the same is true of nearly all ms

And they read the local paper every

And in its welcome columns all thc41

And you may be quite certain that TIE

Are also read with interest and are SURE

HOW SLAVES TRADED BE
FORE THE WAR.

Wnitc it is doubtless true that
some slave owners did not treat
their slaves as they ought, it is
true that many others were kind
or to their slaves than they have
ever been credited for.
Mr.. B. r. Browning of Little
ton gives some interesting re-
minisces Of the ffties CONCERTS
ing the treatment which slaves
received on the farms along the
Roanoke river. Notably among
such humane slave owners was
Mr.. Johnson who owned a large
body of land, part of which IS
the Caledonia farm near TllleTy
now cultivated by the State
| Mr.. Browning was clerk IN Nh
Ferrel's store in Halifax in 1857
A Mr.. Hathaway was general
manager of Mr.. Johnson's farm
and whenEcrops were over man
ager Hathaway carried the slaves
from the farm to Halifax to dc
their trading. The slaves hac
cultivated patches of their own
and such was the crop they pro
duccd that the corn was shipped
up the river by boat. The boa
load was six hundred barrels o
corn, and Mr.. Ferrel gave notlc'
to all his other customers tina
he would set apart certain da,
for trade with the slaves from
Mr.. johnson farm Mr.. Brown
ing says it took two days t.
round up the trade with tn
slaves for their boat load Of corn
Every mans amount was Sc
opposite his name, according t
the value Of his crop and eacl
one was allowed to buy from tn
store inst such goods as he wish
ed. Manager Hathaway mad
one exception to their wish an
that was spirituous liquor. H
would not allow a single drin.
of that.
Me1, women and childre:
were all carried and they had
general good time PURCHASING
their extras with the proceeds c
:, the crops which they had mad
for their own. This was a yea1l
custom; and while the slaves di
, not have the privileges Of free
men, still they were not as TIL
mercifully beaten, half fed an
+ half clad as many of Our north
ern friends think even until thi
, day.-Scotland Neck Common

VACATION TIME

Is ct hand and is welcomed by all, es-
pecially those whose duties III life have
caused them to greatly run down their
system to meet the requirements, phys
iCal and mental, forced upon them.
With these and others, it is important,
whether at home, at the seashoae Or in
the country, but some thought be given
to diet, and as further assistance to
Nature, good building-up medicine
like Hoods Sarsaparilla had best be
resortcd to. If the digestion is poor,
liver deranged and frequent headaches
seem to be the rule, Hoods will change
all this and enable everyone to return
to their home and business in 4 refresh
ed state of mind and bodily health.

Beautiful Old Age.

There is such a thing as beau>
tiful old age. When the rosy
color is all gone, when the pretty
dimples have become wrinkles,
and youths charming grace has
disappeared beneath the gnaw-
ing tooth of time, then comes
the period that tries of what
material the man or woman IS
made. Alas for the old age that
has nothing left it but wrinkles
and gray hairs. Nature takes a
horrible revenge upon the lite
that has been given over to
selfish pleasure-seeking first and
few objects more pitiful than all
old, peevish, discontented man
or woman, with life steadily go
ing out like the flame of a burn>
cd-out candle and with nothing
pleasant to dwell upon III the
past, nothing hopeful to look
forward to in the future. But
lovely old age! Draw up the
armchair, place the footstool be

BY a MEMBER.

ONE MANS REASoNs.-An
eminent Englishman said on one
occasion: "About ter years ago
or more l first became a total
abstainer because / was easily |
convinced that the Use of alcohol
was not a necessity, and a great
deal turns upon that. / saw
for instance, that whole nations
had not only lived without it,
but had hourished without it. |
saw the remarkable fact that
there was some 10000 persons III
England who, though many OF
them had made themselves mere
tunnels for drink, though they
had been accustomed to drink
from their childhood, though
most of them had been brought
to prison, either directly OF in
directly, though drink, yet the
very day that they entered the
gates Of a prison all drink was
entirely taken from them, and
yet there was not a single i'll
stance on record in which any Of
them suffered i'll consequence.
HARMLESS CIDER. A few
months ago two boys rode to a
country store. One of them
bought and drank four glasses Of
harmless cider" They went to
a country church, disturbed the
congregation, who were holding
a social, and, starting home,
overlook others.
The boy, only nineteen years
old, who had drank the cider,
began a quarrel with another
young man, and before the oth>
ers realized what was taking
place, had killed him; and he
was the son Of a widow. The
boy, only nineteen years old,
was sentenced to the pen1tent1ary
for twenty years. So two homes
are made desolate by four glass
es of cider.
Not until the anguish of that
| widowed mothers heart, as she
sat listening for the bounding
step of her boy and heard instead
the tread of those who bore her
the lifeless form Of her boy, can
be estimated can we know the
cost of four glasses Of CIDER

How many lead their children
into a career Of sin by living be-
fore them a sinful life? What
better than a life Of dissipation
and shame can be expected OF
the boy who has seen his father
enter a barroomo What better
than a life of frivolity and IN
goodness can be expected of the
girl who knows that her mother
, thinks more of the theatre than
of the house of God? If yOr
have not Christian charity fol

Oh, how much Of sin in human
