Old frien0a.
There are no friends like old friends,
And none so good and true;
We greet them when we meet them,
AS roses greet the dew;
No other friends are dearer,
Though born of kindred mould;
And while we prize the new ones,
We treasure more the old.
There are no friends like old friends
To help us with the load
That all must bear who journey
Ger life's uneven road;
And when unconquered SORROWS
The weary hours infest-
The kindly words of old friends
Are always found the best.
There are no friends like old friends
Where'er we dwell or roam
In lands beyond the ocean,
Or near the bounds of home;
And when they smile to gladden.,
Or sometimes frown to guide,
We fondly wish those old friends
Were always by our side.
There are no friends like old friends
To calm our frequent fears,
When shadows fall and deepen
through life's declining years;
And when our faltering footsteps
Approach the Great Divide
Well long to meet the old friends
Who wait on the other side.

ROSCOE MITCHELL A HERO.
North Carolina Newspaper Man
Caught Thief i'm Norfolk.

The newspapers of Norfolk relate
thrilling incident that transpired on
its streets, the chief actor being Mr..
Roscoe Mitchell who was one time
editor of The Carolinian. and a former
resident of Elizabeth City. Mr..
Mitchell's father is Deputy Marshal p.
A. Mitchell of this city.
The Virginian Pilots account is as
follows:
MIR. Mitchell overlook the negro on
the sidewalk in front of Rochambeau
apartments, at Boush street and Col
lege place. There Immediately en-
sued a desperate struggle. Though
only about half the size of his burly
antagonist, the plucky newspaper man
held on with grim determination. The
highwayman pounded him unmercl-
fully and he was afraid to turn loose
to fight back, because he knew 1t
would mean the rogue's escape.
"In a few moments at least fifty
people surrounded the struggling men.
and for some little time the gaping
mob stood by and merely looked on.
though Mitchell implored them to
come to his rescue. Presently DIR. !.
w. Winston, who has apartments in
the Rochambeau, hearing the COM
motion rushed out and Immediately
reinforced the newspaper man. At
least three negroes had been doing
everything possible to aid Smith in
shaking off the tenacious editor but
they fed themselves when the crowd
began to swell.
Eft is understood that Mr.. Mitchell
received severe punishment from the
negroes. but last accounts found him
at his post as telegraph editor of the
public Ledger in Norfolk. Editor
Mitchell is small of stature and his
battle with the heavyweight thief,
and his subsequent victory is all the
more interesting to those who know
him -
