The interest displayed during the
past summer in the Mecklenburg De-
elaration and its heroic signers has
been increased by the illusions made

speeches which delighted the hearts of
the Northern Carolinians on his recent
Southern tour. We are fortunate in
obtaining a list of those courageous
patriots who were the first to dare
attempt the dissolution Of the ''politi-
cal bands which connected them with
the Mother Country" CT the conven-
ton of hardy mountaineers which met
in Charlotte. Mecklenburg County, and

troublesome Children.

Everything is relative, after all, even
age; yet one might suspect that the
children" of one of Mr.. Muzzey's Men
of the Revolution" might have arrived
at years OF some discretion and proper
regard for behavior.
When l saw the old soldier, says Mr..
Muzzey, he was the sole survivor of those
who witnessed the battle of Bunker Hill.
At the age of ninety five years he was at
tending a Wing celebration held at
Boston in 1850, and there 1 met him.
He was a good looking old man with a
large, we'll shaped head, blue eyes and
mild expression. His whole countenance
beamed with benevolencc.
l asked him if he had any children.
ooh, yes, have two sons" he replied.
"Why did you not bring them with
you?"
The old mans smooth brow wrinkled
into the semblance of frown as lie said;
Il didn't want to be plagued with
those boys on an occasion of this sort"
"Why, how old are they?" l asked,
wondering if he could mean his grand
children.
ooh, one is seventy and the other is
seventy two. But Icouldn't be bothered
with them. Youths Companion.

Real Se1f-Control.

To most people selfcontrol means the
control of appearances and not the con-
troll of realities This is radical mistake
and must be corrected if we are to get a
clear idea of self-control, and if we are to
make a fair start in acquiring it as per-
manent habit
If a man is ugly to me, and want to
knock him down, and refrain from doing
so simply because it would not appear
we'll, and is not the habit of the people
about me, my desire to knock him down
is still part of myself, and have not
controlled myself until am absolutely
free from that interior desire. So long as
l am in hatred to another am in bond
age to my hatred; and if, for the sake of
appearances, do not act or speak from
it, am none the less at its mercy, and it
will find an outlet wherever it can do so
without debasing ME in the eyes of other
men more willing than l am to be de-
based. My selfish desire to injure the
man | hate is counterbalanced by my sell
fish desire to stand we'll in the eyes of
other men. There can be no true self
control so long as either form of selfish
ness dominates my actions. The control
of appearances is merely outward repres-
sion. and very common instance of this
may be observed in the effort to control
laugh.-Leslie's Magazine.
