Raleigh Post.
We did notaccuratelv quote
Judge Browns language in
his charge to Durham's grand
jury. The Judge did not say
that ministers generally
tered IN behalf of persons con-
victed of crime. What Judge
Brown said was this:
All good citizens should
assist the Judges in cultivat-
ing a wholesome public senti-
ment IN favor of certain pun
iShment for violation Of law.
Certainty of punishment. in
my opinion. is oreefficacious

The sunshine falls on the window sin.
And the day looks in at the open door,
The kettle sings, and the dear old wife
Goes back and forth DER the kitchen foo<
With plate and platter and fork and spoon,
As every day she Is wont 20 20.
And she lays them with quiet grace
On the h5mely table set for two.
Oh, the bread Is like the seas white spray.
And the cloth is clean as mountain SHOWS.
From the pantry shelf to the kitchen stove
The dear old wife on her crrands goes,
The morning elories over the porch
All In riotous tanglc run,
The cat lies curled asleep on a chair,
The old dog blinks at the MONDAY sun.
But the dear old wife Is sad today.
And the morning hours have seemed 90 long,
For her thoughts are Of the long ago.
When the old ho,Se rang with mirth and song
When the red checked boys and merry girls
Came trooping in through the open door.
Some wander now meath an alien sky.
And some will como back no moreno more.
There are empty chairs against the wall,
And the wide old rooms are strangely still
The day is sad though the sunshine falls
Like sifted gold on the window sill,
And the dear old wife in her quiet way
Docs the homely tasks she is wont TO dos
But the tears fall fast she sadly thinks
OF the lonesome table set for two.
Good Housekeeping.
