Keep a Clean nouth.

rule and example are worthy of imita-

Boys readily learn a class of low,
vulgar words and expressions, which
are never heard in respectable circles.
OF course, we cannot think of girls as
being so much exposed to this peril
We cannot imagine a decent girl using
words she would not utter before her
father or mother.
Such vulgarity is thought by some
boys TO be "smart,' the "next thing to
swearing,' and yet "not wicked;" but
it is habit which leads to profanity,
and fills the mind with evil thoughts
1t vulgarizes and degrades the soul
and prepares the way for many of the
gross and fearful sins which now cor.
rupt society.
Young readers. keep your mouth:
free from all impurity, and your
"tongue from evil" but in order to dc
this, ask Jesus to cleanse your heart and
keep it clean, for "out of the abund
ance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

CuriOsities of rIarriage.

Goethe said he married to obtain
respectability.
Wicherly, in his old age, married his
servant girl to spite his relations.
The joining of right hands in an
cient times had the solemnity and the
validity of an oath.
Giving ring is supposed to indi-
cate the eternity Of the union; seeing
that circle is endless.
Under the Roman empire marriage
was simply contract; hence we read
of men "putting away" their wives.
Among the Jews the rule was for a
maiden to marry on the fourth and a
widow on the fifth day of the week.
not earlier.
In a Roman marriage the bride was
purchased by the bridegroom's pay
ment of three pieces of copper money
to her parents.
The custom Of putting veil upon
the maid before the betrothal was done
to conceal her bushes at the first
touch of the mans hand and at the
closing kiss.
Kissing the bride the moment the
marriage ceremony ended, though not
now prescribed by the rubic of the
Western churches, formerly was an i'm
peratve act on the part Of the bride
groom.
The early marriage ceremony among
the Anglo -Saxons consisted merely o
hand fastening, or taking each other
by the hand, and pleding each Other
love and affection in the presence O
| friends and relatives.

(Raleigh Evening Times, 19th)
"God ptieth His children in their
aftliction and cares for them in hours of
trial"
There is a sad story of beautiful
life, one COnseCrated to the service Of
the almighty, which has been cut off
by the hand Of mercy.
Some time ago the whole city was
shocked by the news ofa probably ia
tai shooting which occurred at the
home Of Albert Watson, and the SYM
pathy Of Raleigh went out to the lovely
little woman who had been shot by a
frenzicd husband, who afterwards sent
his own life into the unknown.
Days passed and kind friends, good
men in the town, looked after the every
need Of the little woman. Skilled ply
sicians and trained nurses watched by
her bedside at Rex Hospital and every
thing was done to save the life which
had been SO pure and lovely; and SO
faithful in Christian work.
1t was not long befor. Mrs. Watson
was enough recovered to be carried to
Baltimore, and these same good men
Of our town sent physicians with her to
Johns Hopkins Hospital.
Two weeks ago last Friday they left
| here-Dr. Goodwin, Mrs. Watson S
physician, and Mrs. Pearce, mother of
the young woman.
In Baltimore Mrs Watson was given
the best treatment the famous John
Hopkins Hospital could afford. Every
care was taken, and the operation to
remove the bullet, fired by the hand
of her young husband, was to have
been attempted in few days.
A short while after they arrived
Mrs. Watson was attacked by kidney
troubles and as she was very much
weakened by her long illness, the ply
scians knew that she could not live
many days.
Before her last illness had begun the
bullet was discovered by means of the
X Rays, and photograph taken to be
used in the operation.
Sunday Mrs. Watson was quite i'll
and Monday she was informed that
she could not live but few days.
She was not excited by the news,
but displayed that perfect resignation
which is symbolical with Christian fl
deity. Last night at o:3o o'clock her
life passed away.
Alone in that great bare hospital,
no friend from home, not even an &C
quaintance of a months time, she
died. She was conscious 10 the las,
and faithful to the vows of marriage
and of conservation to Cod.
Mrs. Watson was IS years old in
| December. = She was a mem.
Der of Christ church.
Mr.. James Johnson said today, in
speaking of Mrs. Watson's death: "She
had a beautiful character. Her faith
fullness in Sunday school and in other
Christian duties was admirable. She
was reasonable and smart, and he1
mind was wonderfully matured.
81 never witnessed such beautiful
resignation to fate, but it was no more
than was expected by those who knew
| her character"
| Everyone spoke in the highest term
of her, and while she was so i'll at Res
Hospital, a nurse said: "Mrs. Watson
was the brightest jewel that we ever
nursed."

Bits of Wisdom.

1t is short lane where all the ten
ants pay their rent promptly.
If one expects to get square meal
he must pay round price for it.
1t is natural that man should SO
wild when he has been made game Of.
Although a needle has an eye in its
head it is not able to see its own point.
Talk is cheap-especially when you
make use of your neighbor's telephone.
The man with the most sand is the
one who gets the girl with the rocks
A bird in the hand is worth two in
the bush; but this is not the opinion Of
the bird.
A woman's glory is in her tresses.
All above them, at least at the theatre,
are distresses.
Some people are like nails. They
have to be thumped on the head to
make them go straight.
1t is not easy to convince a deaf
man that the bark OF dog that has
attacked him is worse than his bite.
The world owes every man living
but the world is like the people in it
and oftentimes forgets to pay its debts.
If the boy is father to the man, the
boy is very much to blame that he
does not give his son a better bringing
up.
When man desires to pay his wife
a most acceptable compliment he does
not tell her that she is just like her
mother.
A successful physician is the one
who studies the mental predictions
Of his patients rather than their physi'
cal arrangements.
1t is mistake to say that man il
known BY the company he keeps. The
company he doesn't keep apparently
knows him more intimately.

MARKET CLOSED STRONG
Financial Interest Centered in Prob
able Duration of the War.
Wall Street Chafes Under Innction
as Much as the Blue Jackets
in Sampson's Fleet.

New York, May 3.-Financial interest
is wholly centered now in the probable
duration of hostilities between this coun-
try and Spain. The result at Manila
proved that the confidence in the
strength and ability of our navy is well
grounded. and Wall Street chafes under
the restrictions of the peaceful blockade
as much as do the blue-jackets of Ad-
miral SIMPSONS fleet.
The diminished activity in today's
market and the lessened buoyancy of the
trading were on account of the failure of
the Lordon market to accept the full
measure of the advance in this market
| yesterday, it having been assumed that
the increased prospects for peace would
| appeal even more strongly to foreign
than to the local speculative sentiment.
Besides furnishing quotations for
| American stocks, which ranged about
| Ii below parity with the local closing
| figures. London houses sold upward of
! 5000 shares of stocks. This selling to-
! gether with that for local account, in
| duced by the rapdity of the advance yes
! terday, caused a iatrening out of the

! buoyancy.
The opening of the London market re-
directed attention to the course of Span

Bayamo has been held by a strong
force of Spanish troops and is located in
the southwestern end of the province of
Santiago de Cuba. Its position as a
strategic point has been held by the
Spanish forces in high regard. and the
probability is that owing to the great ne
cessity of concentrating troops in the Ma
tanzas province, where Spain expects to
be met with strong force of Americans,
it has been determined to evacuate points
where troops can be spared under the
present circumstances. with comparative
~ little disadvantage.
