GEMS IN VERSE.
The Smile of q Child.

There is nothing more pure in heaven,
And nothing on earth more mild,
More full Of the light that is all divine,
Than the smile of a little child.
The sinless lips, half parted
With breath as sweet as the air,
And the light that seems so glad to shine
In the gold of the sunny hair.
little one smile and bless me,
For somehow-I know not why
feel in my soul when children smile
That angels are passing by.
feel that the gates of heaven
Are nearer than knew,
That the light and the hope Of that sweeter
world,
Like the dawn. are breaking through.

It's dirty, i'll smelling,
Its fellows the same,
With hardly a dwelling
Deserving the name;
It's noisy and narrow,
With angles replete-
Not straight as an arrow
Is Poverty street.
Its houses are battered,
Unheated and small,
While children all tattered
Respond to the call;
There's nothing inviting
That's likely to greet
The stranger alighting
In Poverty street.
But something redeeming
Lies under it all
Ambition is dreaming
In some little hall;
Some mother is praying
Successes may meet
The boy who Is playing
In Poverty street.
Some fathers, depriving
Themselves Of all joys,
Are valiantly striving
For sake Of their boys;
Some sisters or brothers,
In sacrifice sweet,
Are living for others
In Poverty street.
Though lacking in glory
And lacking in art.
There's many story
Appeals to the heart,
And years that are blighting
With tales of defeat
Find heroes still fighting
In Poverty street.

There Is No Death.
There is no death; the stars 60 down
To rise upon some other shore,
And bright in heavens jeweled crown
They shine forevermore.
There is no death; the forest leaves
Convert to life the viewless air;
The rocks disorganize to feed
The hungry moss they bear.
There is no death; the dust we tread
Shall change, beneath the summer show
ers,
To golden grain, or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow tinted flowers.
There is no death: the leaves may fall;
The flowers may fade and pass away;
They only wait, through wintry hours,
The warm, sweet breath Of May.
There Is no death the choicest gifts
That heaven hath kindly lent to earth
Are ever first to seek again
The country of their birth.
And all things that for growth or Joy
Are worthy Of our love or care
Whose loss has left us desolate,
Are safely garnered there.
Though life become dreary waste,
We know its fairest, sweetest flowers,
Transplanted into paradise,
Adorn immortal bowers.
The voice Of birdlike melody
That we have missed and mourned 80
long
Now mingles with the angel choir
In everlasting song.
There is no death although we grieve
When beautiful, familiar forms
That we have learned to love are torn
From our embracing arms
Although with bowed and breaking heart,
With sable garb and silent tread,
We bear their senseless dust to rest,
And say that they are dead
They are not dead; they have but passed
Beyond the mists that blind us here
Into the new and larger life
OF that serener sphere.
They have but dropped their robe Of clay
To put their shining raiment on;
They have but wandered far away;
They are not "lost' nor "gone."
Though disenthralled and gloriied,
They still are here and love us yet;
The dear ones they have left behind
They never can forget.
And, sometimes, when our hearts grow
faint
Amid temptations fierce and deep,
Or when the wildly raging waves
OF grief or passion sweep,
We feel upon our fevered brow
T. 4. l. 1.
Their arms infold us, and our hearts
Grow comforted and calm.
And ever near us, though unseen,
The dear, immortal spirits tread,
For all the boundless universe
Ia life; there are no dead!

Fate drives US on. Yield we to fate,
No carking cares will mend our state
Or change the web that fortune weaves.
Poor mortal man, who sins and grieves.
His course forefixed from heaven receives
There is the thread relentless spun
OF every life beneath the sun.
Their ordered path all things pursue,
And from the old was born the new.
No god that knits the causal chain
That knits events might break In twain
No prayer avails-his race each one
Foreruled must run. Seneca.

Condition CT Trade


The failure Of I've important banks,
the second IN size of business at Chicago,
and the oldest at St, Paul, with some
others dependent on them. closes not
fayorably month which promised TO
end with only moderate commercial
disasters. 1t does not lessen the effect
Of these failures that one was caused by
enormous loans in aid Of an electric
railway and other concerns. and that
the other appears to have resulted from
heavy ventures in unstable real estate.
Since several thousand business men
and depositors are for the time en-
barrassed as much as the spectators
that caused the trouble, the breakdown
Is the reverse of hopeful at present, al
though It comes when money markets
are well supplied and when no serious
effect in business is TO be apprehended.
Other important events of the week are
the failure Of the billet aud rail pools to
find basis for ag} cement, and the
somewhat general discharge Of hands
or reduction of wages in the shoe man
ufacture. The holiday trade has been
fair, but generally in articles Of medium
grade.

Social Evening

\ jolly dancing party was given at the
home of Mr.. Phil Ward, on Oak street,
Wednesday evening, with the names Of
Miss Mamie Ward and Misses Mar
guerite and Alice Nash as entertainers.
1t is reported to have been one Of the
happiest social functions Of the holiday
season, with an informal, C0ngenial
company present, all disposed to mix
in friendly converse and make the most
of the pleasures provided for their en-
tertainment The apartments of the
Ward residence were attractively dec
grated with smilax and an abundance
of mistletOe, lending to the lighted in
terror and the vari-colored costumes a
delicate and pretty shading. Four
rooms were devoted to dancing, the
double doors swung back in an arrange
ment making the circle for waltz and
two-step as complete as in any dance
hail. Music was furnished by Mr.. A
! II. ColCord and son and Amial Lambert
on guitar and two mandolins. Their
strains were sweet, enliyening, and per-
! feet in time, adding a full measure to
| the dance program. Dainty edibes
were faultlessly served at their proper
hour during the evening. The event is
stamped as complete social success
and will long be held in memory with
pleasure by all who had the privilege of
attending. Those present were:
Misses Mabel and Genevieve Gard

FOREIGNERS AREATA DISCOUNT

Fewer Of Them in North Carolina Than
in Any other American State.
North Carolina is one Of the oldest
states in respect 10 settlement, having
been first colonized in 1887. 1t is one
Of the Is original states, and by reason
of its extensive seacoast and good ports
has always been easily accessible to irn-
migrants. Yet in the whole United
States there is not one Of the 40 which
has d smaller foreign-born population
than North Carolina, and this peculiar
distinction it has retained for good
deal more than century. BY the fed.
eraI census Of 1896 there were 100000
natiye-born inhabitants of North Caro-.
lima and only 3,7O0 born out Of the
state. North Carolina's percentage, III
fact, is so much lower than that Of all
the other states that it appears almost
insignificant. North Dakota, at the
top OF the list, has so per cent. foreign
born populations; Minnesota. Sc; Wis
consin, IL; Rhode Island, A: New York
35; Connecticut, 80; New Jersey, 20;
Illinois, rs; New Hampshire, %; Ohio
II; Maryland, 10; Indiana, :, and Louis.
lana, 4. North Cardinals percentage is
one-1ifth Of one per cent, and it has
al no time been much larger.
This fact being undisputed, the ques-
ton naturally arises, what is the cause
Some say that it is due to the fact that
North Carolina is practically state
without cities, and that as the foreign
born population of every state is to be
found chiefly in the large cities, the case
is easily explained, but such an explana-
ton, unfortunately. does not cover the
case. North Carolina has one city, Will
mington with a population in excess
Of 10000, and Raleigh. Charlotte and
Asheyille have more than 10000 pOpula-
ton each. Moreover. it is not always
large cities that count in the United
States for foreign-born population. The
state OF Iowa, for instance, with only
one city in excess of $4,000 inha bitants.
contains 20 per cent. Of foreign-born
population. North Dakota. too, which
was at the head of the list of states
in respect to foreign-born population
| by the last census, did not at that time
have 4 city with population as large
as AshevilIe. \. c. Some other explana-
! ton must, therefore. be found, and per
haps the most plausible is the fact that
Virginia being the arena of the
hardest fighting between the hos
tile armies during the civil war,
the tide OF immigration which fol-
lowed strongly while it lasted was
diverted from North Carolina. which
lies Immediately south Of Virginia, and
thus practically the state was cut Off
from this supply. Before the war, OF
/ course, when slave labor ruled the in
| dustrial market, there was no large
| foreign immigration into any Of the
southern states, with the exception OF
| Louisiana and Texas. Oddly enough.
while there are ony 3,TG0 foreign-born
/ inhabitants returned by the last fed
eral census. there were 1,5l+ Indians.
/ and it seems q strange state OF affairs
/ that in any american commonwealth
on the Atlantic border the proportion
! of Indians 70 foreign-born citizens
should be so hich-N Y Sun
