TO DANISH CARE AND WORRY.
A Pretty Little Sermonette by the
Richmond News.

Once a man and woman loved
each other and were married. In the
Course Of time trouble came upon
them and the man went home at night
with his heart heavy with the bur-
dens of the day and fears for the NOR
row. And the woman perched herself
on the arm of shis chair with woman
ish wiles and foolishness, melted him
to laughter and with warm, soft lips
kissed away the wrinkles gathered on
his forehead and coaxed his soul to
harbor Courage and Hope, banishing
the cares and breads.
The woman as the years went by
became worn and wearied with child
bearing and caring, with the SORROWS
the years bring to all lives and the
more racking troubles the days bring
to womxn's lie. Then the man kiss
ed tenderly and told her that he loved
her, and the footprints Of pain and
worry were smoothed from her face.
Her heart was filled with light and
music and beauty like cathedral At
. fsstal time when the organ leads =
great congregation in Te Deum Lau-
damus, and the sound of solemn and
splendid exultation rings from floor
to dome. For when 3 woman loves
and knows she is loved her soul can
know no hunger and the unfading
radiance of that one truth wsaves
rainbow glories even into the midst
Of her bittsrest tears.
And at the end one OF them died
no matter which one. The living
looked upon the quiet, white face of
tho dead and saw upon it the marks Of
time and toll and grief, perhaps, but
none placed there by him-or her, as
the case might be: The living one
knew then that death separates but
cannot destroy, that between the
heart yet beating and the stilled heart
there remained a connection never to
be broken, distinct but battling the
senses to comprehend, elusive, impal-
pabls and beautiful as the track OF
moonlight along the surface Of a
placid sea.
The man and the woman whose
love and care and thought are to
smooth the wrinkles from each others
faces may be poor in all else, but in
that one thing they are magnificently
rich and enviable. No i'll turn Of
fortune can deprive them Of that in
estimable prize. Even the darkness
of death itself cannot shadow its
beauty nor dim its light, for its men,
ories in shining thousands throng the
path of thought from the earlier to
the later days. and glorify the hum
blest and most sorelV bruised heart.

SIR WALTER RALEIGH.
Proposition for Statue to Be Erected
and Named In Ills Honor.
Raleigh News and Observer.

| Raleigh News and Observer.
General Julian S. Carr will propose
at the coming meeting OF State Liter
ary and Historical Association that
the people of North Carolina erect a
suitable bronze statue to Sir Walter
Raleigh in this, our capital city,
named in his honor.
General Carr's proposition will en-
brace the suggestion that collection
boxes be placed in drug stores and
| other suitable places where tobacco
is sold to receive the donations,
especially all who use the famous
| weed.
1t is we'll known that tho great and
versatile Raleigh first introduced to-
bacco among the English-speaking
people, and the story OF the English
man who thought he was on fire when
he saw him smoking and threw a
pitcher Of water in his face to put him
out, has been told for three CEN
turtles.
But though the tobacco men may
lead in this just memorial of Raleigh.
and there are such . multitude of
those who have enjoyed the fragrant
plant in North Carolina as to make
the task easy to them alone, still it is
a matter in which every North Caro-
linian will want to take . hand.
While the smokers feel an affection
for the first of their class, Raleigh
was first in many other things-as a
statesman, soldier, scholar, explorer,
navigator, historian and philosopher.
Raleigh first introduced potatoes from
America into Ireland, where they
were called Irish potatoes. 1t was
Raleigh who advised Queen Elizabeth
that the Spanish Armada ought to be
attacked at sea instead Of waiting for
the invincible Spanish infantry to
land.
So far as we know there is no statue
to Sir Walter Raleigh anywhere on
the earth. He spen: two fortunes
colonizing America, and if King James
had been equal to Elizabeth this illus
trious man, Raleigh, would have
seized South America as he did our
continent for the Anglo-Saxon race.
Raleigh's statue in heroic size
ought to stand in the centre Of Nash
Square, where it may be the first
object Of interest to be seen by the
thousands who pour into our capital
city from the railroads.
General Carr will doubtless have q
specimen collection box, such as he
recommends to the Association, At its
annual meeting at the Fair. so that
the collection may begin At the meet
ing. The people Of Raleigh-smokers
and all-will be glad to start the con-
tribution to this laudable enterprise.
1t is fitting and appropriate that Cen
ersl Carr, who has done 80 much for
all that will bless North Carolina to-
day and for all time should be the
inaugurator OF tho movement to de
tardy justice to one Of the greatest
mon in an age OF great men.

He Explained.

The following story about . con-
vsrsation betw cen President Lincoln
and General Scott, which We have
printed before, may be new to some:
Lincoln was urged from the begin
ming of the war to take Richmond,
but talking Of taking Richmond and
taking Richmond were two different
matters. General Scott who was not
retired until after several futile at
tsmpts had been made to take Rich
mond, was summoned before the
President.
General Scotan said Mr.. Lincoln,
..will you explain why it is,that you
were able to take the oity Of Mexico
in three months with five thousand
men, and have been unable to take
Richmond in six months with one
hundred thousand men?"
Eyes. sir. l will, Mr.. President" :"
replied General Scott. 1.-The men
who took me into the city OF Mexico
are the same men who are keeping me
out OF Richmond now"
