THE CHAMBERED NArUILUs

Oliver Wendell Holmes. This is the Ship of Pearl which (poets
 feign) Sails the unshadowed main, The venturouS bark that filings On the sweet summer wind its purpled
 wings In gulfs enchanted, where the siren sings. And coral reefs lie bare, Where the cold Sea-Maids rise to sun their
 streaming hair. Its web of living gauge no more unfurl; Wreckd is the Ship of Pearl; And every chamberd cell, Where its dim dreaming life was wont to
 dwell As the frai1 tenant shaped his growing
 shell, Before thee lies reveard; Its iris'd ceiling rent; its sunless crypt un-
 sealed. Year after year beheld the silent toll That spread his lustrous coil: Still as the spiral grew He left the past years dwelling for the
 new; Stole with soft steps its shining archway
 through, Built up it's idle door, Stretch'd in his last found home, and
 knew the old no more. Thanks for the heavenly message brought
 by thee, Child of the wandering Sea, Cast from her lap, forlorn! From thy dead lips a clearer note Is borne Than ever Triton blew from wreathed
 horn! While on mine ear 1t rings. Through the deep caves of thought hear
 voice that sings: Build thee more stately mansions, o my
 soul! As the swift seasons roll; Leave the low-yaulted past! Let each new temple. nobier than the
 last, Shut thee from heaven with dome more
 vast, Till thou at length art free. Leaving thine outgrown shell of life's uns
 resting sea!

More BuiIdinqs Needed.

There is a very serious want of houses, even rooms, In this city. Offices and stores centrally located are also searce It is practically impossible to secure at ren- tai comfortable residence in the entire city. "F'or Rent" signs are almost un- known, and enquiries for buildings of all sorts accumulate in the real estate offices. This condition of things should not be. Rents are already higher than they are in neighboring cities, and unless more houses are speedily erected, they wdll go still higher. This will surely injure landlords in the long run, because it will operate to turn people to other towns-people who prefer to locate here. all things being equal.
 Prosperity is good thing, but "boom" is not, and all efforts to revive such an institution should be discountenanced. This district needs the steady growth that springs from steady development of it's natural resources, and this city, as tho center of the district, desires nothing more.
 
 oe squelched. We do not want it.
 The best way to nip "boom" in the bud. as it were, is to build more houses of all sorts. The building season in Alabama is, it is true, twelve months in the year. but the better part of it is in the season of long days. Let 1t be improved. One thousand residences, stores and office buildings are needed, and could be req Hiy rented, and the man of money Who looks ahead will put his capital in that form of Investment, Iie would thus reap profits -&fom the building of every mill and opening of every mine, for every building in Bir- mingham is based on mills and mines. There is no safer investment, and The Age- Herald calls upon all capitalists, native or foreign, to build while the sun shines.

ANOTHER WHIPPING POST ADVOCATE


 Judge Baldwin of Connecticut Glas joined the ranks of those who favor the whipping post for wife-beaters and children torturers and other cases Of cowardly cruelty in minor offences. He presents testimony as to the effects of such punishment when it was in operation in his state most con= vincng of It's efficacy. Governor Buck fngIham of Connecticut" he declares, "once stated that no white man had ever beea whipped twice under judicial sentence in that state There have been many who have gone back to jail ten and twenty times" It was not only righteous retribu- tion, but it effectually answered the end of preventing tho repetition of the inhuman acts 1t punished.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
 There is nothing in the world that is so shameful to a woman as detection.
 The most successful way a woman knows of deceivfng her husband is pretending to tell him everything she does.
 The difference between a dog and wo- man is that after c man has kicked the dog it forgives him, but doesn't hang around for another kick.
 If more wives went away from their husbands in the summer there wouldn' [ be fewer scandals in his life, but there would be less infelicdty.
 If wives could get away from their hus- bands as easily as other women, the men would cling to them so hard that that all the divorce lawyers would die of starva- ton.

NO BELsHAzRAR's FEAST FOR DEWEY

From the Chicago Tribune.
 The American people, irrespective of party, look with disfavor on this proposed banquet, where the miiiionaires will do nearly all the eating and drinking and ex- pect to reap all the glory. The "plain people" are not envious of men who can afford to pay slOO for a dinner, with Ad- miral Dewey thrown In. They estimate at Its true value the vulgarfty of the men who think they can dazzle Admiral Dewey by giving him a more expensive dinner than anybody else can.

Let's Defer the Discussion
Charlotte Observer.

L
We suppose it is unavoidable
yet it is regrettable, that there
should be as much discussion a!
there is, at this early date, O.
the United States sensatorshiI
to be filed by the Legislature o.
1901. The names of four gentle.
men-Chairman Simmons, Col
J. S. Carr, Ex-Governor Jarvis
and Hon. Alfred M. Waddell-
are conspicuously mentioned in
connection with it, aud while
any of them would perhaps re.
sent a statement that be is can.
didate for it, each has his friends
who are bringing him forward,
and any of them would of course,
feel gratlfied and honored in be.
ing elected, but it is pleasing to
note that two of them-Mr. Sim.
mons and Col. Waddell-publicly
deprecate any agitation of the
matter until after next August's
election. The discussion of who
shall be Senator should be de-
ferred until after the election of
the Legislature which is to
choose him. The Democratic par
y of North Carolina has had a
bitter experience resulting from
thrusting of senatorial fight
into State campaign. We do
not believe that the heated con-
troversy between the friends of
of Senator Ransom and ex-Gov-
ernor jarvis in 1884 was the
cause of the fusion victory Of
that year, for it was already
written in the stars that the
Democratic party was to be de-
feate1 in that election, but it un-
doubtedly contributed to it and
was harmful in every imaginable
way. It is to be hoped that this
generation will not see a repe-
tition of such controversy at a
similar period in politics. and
ne hope to be pardoned for the
that the Democratic
press ard It's correspondents
have the matter very largely in
their hands. If the newspapers
will refrain from lining up pre-
for their respective
favorites and discussing their
ciaims-which will be sure to be
by some as deprecia-
ting the merits of other gentle
men and thus provoke counter
discussion-and if the CORES
will withhold their
hands, we can fight the next
campaign and win the election
practically without the hind-
rance of this handicap, and then
there will be plenty of time to
look after the matter of who
shall be Senator. Otherwise there.
may be no Democratic .Legisla-
uure at all, and thus the State
and the national party will have
lost vote in the Senate, and
the State, through the loss Of a
Democratic Legislature, will
ind itself again in the slough
from which it pulled itself with
so great effort and at such great
cost in 1898.
