A Message to Young Men.

Womun's Health and Home Journal.
The nobility of lite is work. We
live In working world. The idle and
lazy man does not count in the plan OF
campaign. "My father worked hither-
to, and / work." Let that text be
enough. Let your daily wisdom OF
life be in making good use of the op-
portunities given you. We live in
real and solid and truthful world. In
such world only truth, in the long
run, can hope to prosper. Therefore
avoid lies, mere show and sham and
hollow superfciality of all kinds, which
is at best printed lie. Let whatever
you are; and whatever you do, grow out
of firm root of truth and strong soil
of reality. Meyer forget Paurs sent
ence: "Love is the fulfilling of the
law" That Is the steam OF the social
machine. Do one thing we'll, "be a
whole man." as Chancellor Thurlow
said, "do one thing at time" "Make
clean work and leave no tags" Allow
no delays while you are at thing. Do
it and be done with it. Avoid misce1-
laneous reading. Read nothing that
you do not care to remember, and re-
member nothing that you do not mean
to use. Never desire to appear clever
and make parade of your talents be-
fore men. Be honest, loving, kindly,
and sympathetic in all you say and do.
Cleverness will flow from you naturally
if you have it; and applause will come
to you unsought from those who know
what to applaud, but the applause OF
fools is to be shunned.-JoHN STUART

Broad, spotiess ground of purity, cross

Clasped by the hero fathers hand
watched over in his might,
Through battle hour and day of peace,

Because within your clustering folds he

Dear freedoms hope for human souls

Oh, precious flag, beneath whose fold
such noble deeds are done
The dear old flag, the starry flag, the

Unfurl, bright stripes Shine forth, clear
stars Swing outward to the breeze
Go bear your message to the wilds, 60
tell it on the seas,
That poor men sit within your shade
and rich men in their pride;
That beggar boys and statesmen's sons
walk meath you side by side.
You guard the schoolhouse on the
green, the church upon the hill,
Auu 1Olu YOUR pI0ClOu6 DRESSINGS TOunu
the cabin by the rill,
While weary hearts from every land
beneath the shining sun
Find work and rest and home beneath
the flag of Washington.
And never, never on the earth, however
brave they be,
Shall friends or foes bear down this
great, proud standard of the free,
Though they around its staff may pour
red blood in rushing waves
And build beneath its starry folds great
pyramids of graves;
For God looks out with sleepless eye
upon his chiIdren's deeds
And sees through all their good and i'll,
their sufferings and their needs,
And he will watch, and he will keep
till human rights have won,
The dear old flag, the starry flag, the

Rebellion" Comes High.

Charlotte Observer.
The Richmond Times recalls the fact
that it was twenty-five years ago that
Hon. James A. Garfield, then Repre-.
sentative in Congress from Ohio, said
that Eve may reasonably expect that
the expenditures for pensions will here
after steadily decrease unless our leg
islation should be unwarrantably ex-
travagant." Then our legislation has
been "unwarrantably extravagant, for
so far from pension expenditures hav'
ing decreased since the time when Gen
Garfield spoke, they have climbed
steadily. The appropriation Tor pen
sions by the Congress just adjourned
amounted to $141,328 $50, against
$l39, 9,434 900 for 1896, from which fig
ures it appears that the further we gel
away from the war the greater grow the
expenses on account of it. In this con
nection the New York Sun presents az
interesting table showing the govern
ment receipts from internal revenue
and customs, each, for the four years
1894-1897, and the expenditures fol
each of these years on account of pen
sions. The receipts from the two
sources indicated differ less than $780,
100000 for the tour years, and the pen
sion appropriations lacked but $4,000,
600 of consuming the entire receipts
from internal revenue, which, Tor the
period given, were $3.50, ,915, ,276.
OF this awful burden the South bears
It's share and gets nothing In return
What the share of the western district
of North Carolina, foy instance, is, may
be found by examining the next report
OF the monthly collections Tor the dis
trict. Whatever the total is it may be
assumed that it all goes into the pen.

FAITHFUL FRIEND.
DOOM OF THE LOCOMOTIVE.
It Has Done its Work and Must
Soon Give Way to Motors.
Leslie's Weeklu.

Aoctco . W CoHtys
About 100 years ago Oliver Evans,
the inventor, was rash enough to say
that the time would come when his
high pressure locomotive would take
people after breakfast in Washington
ana get them to New York for supper.
The idea of covering 200 miles in this
time was of course preposterous, and
he was the butt of many joke. But
when the rails were finally laid, which
was not SO many years ago, the passer-
gers soon began to want more speed
and thus it has gone on. Americans
accept inventions as marvels tor a
whole day sometimes, and then demand
more. Some people have been known
to complain OF the telephone.
But the locomotive has been faith
full old friend. Locomotive engineer
ing goes so lar as to say "it was always
kept equal to any speed requirements
put upon it," and that the only obsta-
cles to fast trains a half a century ago
we're the tracks and the lack OF signals,
and the absence of efficient means of
stopping the trains. How human this
sounds. If we only had the right sort
of tracks, the proper warnings, and the
power to stop, bow many of us would
arrive at our destination In time to sup
on success and prosperity instead Of
getting side-tracked or wrecked?
1t is the fact, however, that the To-
comotive has kept strictly up with the
times and few of us care to travel fast
er than on the limited trains that al
low us to breakfast in Washington and
take luncheon in New York-a beg
carly five hours of smooth motion that
could easily be reduced to four if the
railroads wanted to do it. But the
faithful old puller, varying in size from
the shifting, If not shiftless, busy-body
that puffs around stations, to the mar
velous machine of hupdred tons, is
reading the handwriting along its
tracks. The electrical motor, dumpy
and ugly, is preparing to retire its
handsome rival. It is like mean lit
tie torpedo boat sending the beautiful
full rigged man-of-war into retirement +;
but it represents force, and force rules.
Millions upon millions OF dollars are
represented in these locomotives, but
even millions cannot prevent the ad-
vance of invention. And so, after
awhile, the old locomotive may be as
rare as the old street car horse but let
us be grateful for what it has done and
admit that the man was almost right
when he called it "the plowshare of
civilization" for wherever its whistle
has been heard progress has found a
way and the furrow has been plowed.
