"Blessed is the man who has found
his work. Let him ask no other bless
edness." SO says Thomas Carlyle.
There Is evelything in good fit. A
square peg In round hole, or a round
peg in a square hole is always failure.
Yet we see men struggling along in
positions for which they are not adapt
ed any more than pumpkin is to
hang on grapevine. How came they
t. enter these occupations? Some
supposed advantage. "Tlere is money
in it." "The position is honorable"
'The work is not hard" There has
been no careful consideration OF the
abilities the calling requires. But this
is the very first thing a young man
should consider before he chooses his
life work. 1t is nard to fight against
nature. Gcd has set a certain stamp
on all of US, aud this we name our
aptitudes. These are decisive as 10
what we should do. The man who Is
tongue-tied should not seek to be a
preacher, and the man who is brain
tied better rot try to enter any OF the
learned pursuits. There is scarcely
anything more pathetic than to see a
man struggling with profession for
which nature did not design him. OF
course some men can turn their atten-
ton proftably to variety of occupa-
tions, but others will surely fail il they
do not find their true places.
Many persons think the humble
occupations are not honorable enough.
They were made to be blacksmiths,
and mechanics, and farmers; but they
think that to get such social positions
as they desire they must become ply
slcians or preachers or lawyers. Nom
sensical pride! 1t is far more honora-
BILE to be first.class mechanic
than a fourth-class lawyer.
It is not the position Itself.
but the class of work one does in it that
is honorable. The man who makes
good shoes is greater success than the
man who breaches poor sermons. Says
Mr. Marden:-"If your vocation be an
humble one, elevate it with more man
hood than others put into it. Better
alon your own than seek another's
place. Go to the bottom of your busi-
ness and you will soon reach the top"
On the other hand Lowell gives the
warning: at is the vain endeavor to
make ourselves what we are not that
has strewn history with SO many broken
purposes and lives left in the rough"

The Reward Of Thrift.

| New York Tribune.
A story is told of one of the glea
men of to-day which has the addet
charm of being romantic as we'll a.
true. AS i'll the tory-books, it begin
with "Once upon a time''-though no

He was at his work one day when {
young friend came to him, and, wish.
ing to borrow some money, left hll
book for security, but told his friend
"Pay me when you can." at the same
time fearing he would see no returns
from his loan.
The friend left the book and it prov.
ed to be work on astronomy, SO the
youth examined it, and found it most
interesting, and then resolved to know
all he could of the heavens, reading
every book he could find on the sui.
iect.
He purchased telescope and spent
his nights ON the root, studying the
stars. He~ worked faithfully for his
employer, but he rever grew tired of
studying the wonders of the worlds
around him. At last as rev ard for
his labors, he discovered two comets
before the watchful scientists knew OF
them, notwithstanding their greater
advantages. This made the lads name
familiar to all the learned world and
he was asked TO see what he could do
with the slx-lnch telescope at Wander
bit College. Within six years he was
the happy discoverer of six comets.
Later, at Lick Observatory, he discov-
cred eight more, and astounded the
world by discovering the fifth satellite
Of Jupiter. He it was who invented a
new method of photographing the neb-
ulac of the Milky Way.

Beware Of ointments for Catarr1
that contain Mercury,

as. mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering it
through the mucous surfaces. Such
articles should never be used except on
prescriptions from reputable ply
sicians, as the damage they will do is
ten fold to the good you can possibly
derive from them. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney
& Co., Toledo, O., contains no mercury
and is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces o.
the system. In buying Halls Catarrh

Sand Pile for Children.

"First in a chiId's outfit should be a
sand heap if the young ones are quite
Young" writes Charles M. Skinner OF
"Gardens for Children" in the June
Ladies Home Journal. "Almost the
first thing that human beings want to
do, after they learn to eat Is TO dig.
A CARLOAD of sand is one OF the cheap
est and most satisfying playthings in
the world. It is worth a houseful OF
dolls and painted monkeys on sticks.
Watch Johnny and Nelly at their work
and you Will wish most heartily that
YOU could t1nd the novelty and enthu-
siasm in your employments. That
sand pile is very cosmos. Mountains
are bul!ded from it with the use OF tin
shovels and beach pals; there are
caves in the cool depths near the loot
of those Himalayas-caves big enough
tor the cat to turn around in; Johnny
makes fort on his side, and Nelly lays
out garden on hers. Johnny's tort

garden has trees and flowers and fonn.

Not SO. This Is one of the most Sc

that in this play the little ones are
learning? Probably they acquire mor'

Bruised Beauties.

While American women ride or ''i-
cycles for pleasure. the sultan OF Mo-
rocco uses bicycles as instruments OF
torture for any OF the women OF his
hafem who have the misfortune to Of
fend him. The unhappy odalisqres
are compelled to mount machines and
ride around marked track in the pai-
ace gardens. Not knowing how to
ride, their repeated falls and other mis-
haps furnish the sultan and his more
favored wives with endless amusement.
When they have fallen twenty times
provided, of course that they have not
broken their backs in the meantime
the punishment is complete and the
bruised beauties are allowed to retire.

P. S.-This evening after court ao-

Avery concluded to accept this cha,-
lenge and so, in the dueK of the sum-
mer evening, the duel came off in a
hollow north of Jonesboro, in the pres
ence of the same crowd that had
laughed at Jackson's predicament.

fred quickly, and his ball fl,cked
Ayery's ear, scratching it slightly.
Now was Avery's chance to change
the later history of his country, but his
Puritan blood asserted itself. He fired

Jackson his hand, which was accepted.

Dancing is recreation, they say, and
according the following calculation
by one who doubtless knows, it is rath.
er strong recreation for some girls who
are often too feeble to help their mother
o'mornings:
can average waltz takes a dancer
over about three quarters of a mile,
a square dance makes him cover bali
a mile. A girl with a well-flled pro-
gramme travels thus in one evening !:
Twelve waltzes, nine miles four other
dances, at half mile apiece, which Is
hardly fairly big estimate, two
miles more: the intermission
stroll, and the trips to the dressing
room to renovate her gown and COM
plexion, half mile; grand total, elev-
en- and a half miles,"

Tit For Tat.
Youths Companion.

Youths Companion.
A certain doctor who had had ner-
vous prostratlon was heard to remark
that the breakdown was Of inestimabIe
value to him 1t gave him an insight
which he had never before possessed.
He was not inclined thereafter to scorn
the whims and folIles of overwrought
patients. The author of the little book
called can Amateur Angler" had a
somewhat similar experience, which
perhaps did wonders in developing his
synpathles. He was angling for gray
ling.
I cast my red spinner over big fish
that had just risen in midstream, but
he declined the offer; again he came
up, and again I dropped the spinner
on the point of his nose, but still be
declined.
l was perhaps a little hustered at
this contempt. I drew up hastily, and
as I did so my foot slipped in hole !;
the consequence was that a gust OF
wind blew line and all in confused
bang into my face. | threw 1T out
again, with the impression, delicately
conveyed to my ears by the swish OF
the line, that the fly was off.
/ wound up according, and found
that off it was, and I began making
arrangements tor putting on fresh
one. I called out to the major, and
told him to have go at my grayllng
while ] replaced my lost fly.
Lost your fly !" repeated he, look
ing curiousIy into my face. "Why
it's sticking in. your nose!" and hi
burst into a roar Of laughter.
Then I, wondering, put my finger tt
the tip of rny nose, and there, to IN,
astonishment, my horror and, may
add, my terror, found the hook firm
" embedded IN cartilage. When
made the Iecast, l must have driver
the hook deeply into the nose, and fal
below tie barb. Yet, most maryellosi
of, all l had never feltssthe slightest pans
or twi!ch.
Of course we knocked off fishing a
once, and slowly and solemnly march
ed home, covering my lace with
handkerchief whenever I met any on
upon the read. When [ reached th
house, I examined my nose in look
ing-glass, and I confess to feeling VIC
fully discouraged. TIE barbed be
trayer was there firmly fixed, and
saw there nothing for it but to SEN

Get. and the hook was removed but

self. Boosting is excluded, but the
thing to be thankful for is that his
courageous entry of the harbor was
made Justi6able, because the Spaniards
were not even able to explode their sub
marine mines at the proper moment
Of effectiveness. Had they succeeded
in damaging him these very same jour-
mails of Unbalanced, ill-bred, brainless
| boy-men would have held ghcst-dances
oyer the grave OF his reputation.
Before we accept the boasting stand
ard as one to rally around, let Us bear
In mind that we are in combat with a
seventh-rate power, whose finances are
in terrible condition, and whose un-
readiness Is extraordinary. II our gage
OF battle had been thrown down in
February of this year to some other
European power, whose ships and men
were absolutely read y for fight, We
should undoubtedly have had to mourn
many terrible disasters before we were
able to rally for effective defiance and
ultimate triumph. say ultimate trl-
umph in no boasting manner, but only
because our resources are so vast that
with ii war dragged out to any length
we should undoubtedly win at this end
OF the conflict at the last. We have
done wonders in mastering and equi o.
ping 100000 men and in institutlng
effective coast projections in about
month, but 1t is we'll that they were
not needed within week after the war
began.
Then again, let us ask ourselves what
this war is about. By every congress
ional declaration. we must suppose it
to be deed Of mercy towards suffer
ing and down trodden people--other-
wise would we certainly not hare cho-
sen a lamed and linping adversary?
Who ever heard of righteous merciful-
ness, blowing blasts of SELF -glorlfcation?
Boosting! There is no room tor boast
ing! With the dignity and thorough
ness Of true greatness we are striving
to do good deed. These violent III
terpreters OF our dolngs who would
make US to stink in the nostriis OF self
respected nations, are like Kings fools

Some of the brethren of the press
are finding out, even at late hour,
that the people of Eastern Carolina are
as patriotic as those of any other part
of the State, and there was more good
reason for the soldier boys to remain
at home than to rush into the army at
the first call. Hasty conclusions are
generally dangerous and often times
they are faulty; and this is especially
true when the honor and patriotism OF
North Carollnans are in question.
Let us hope that it will never be-
come necessary for more OF our boys
from any part of the State be- called
out. That the war may soon end IL
the hope and desire of all.

The following bit of news sent out
from Madrid few days ago shows
as much disaster to Spain as anything
since the war began:
"Tbe attention of the public to-day

than any reverse of the war, inasmuch
as the impossibi1lty of the bank tc

The hail storm that passed over this
region last week seems 70 have zig
zayed clear across the State. There was
great destruction to crops and to fruit
IN many parts of the State.
1t shows up, however, one advantage
OF our climate. Farmers In this COM
munity who lost their crops are plant
ing again corn and cotton and with
good seasons expect almost as good a
crop as they would have realized from
the first planting. The truth is, most
formers do too little to their lands be-
fore planting; and that is why the Sec
ond planting sometimes does so much
better than one would expect. It has
the advantage OF all the plowing that
was done for the first crop.

THE EDITORS LEISURE HOURS,
Points and Paragraphs Of Things
Present, Past and Future.

No one can tell how nor when the
war with Spain will terminate, but it
is to be hoped that the exceedingly
poor plight in which this country
found itself for war few weeks ago
Will have good effect. To be sure,
our government has already seen the
disadvantages of poor navy, poorly
equipped army, and general unreadi-
ness for war. If Spain had pitched
into war in dead earnest on the 22nd
OF April, Uncle Sam would have made
a mighty poor show. The tardiness
With which things drag is great help
to our country in getting ready for
war some time in the future.
