THE LIGHT IN THE WINDOW.

Once. at the close Of day, while
walking down a country road to the
Delaware, a day laborer, covered
with SCOT and CRIME, for he came
from a foundry, disclosed a life Sc
cret. Spoken in the twilight, its i'm
preston could never be forgotten.
Then, too, the scenic beauty of the
Delaware country, with the Blue
Mountains bathed in the light OF
the setting sun, the silver stream
of the Cherry Creek threading
it's way to the river, the pro-
fusion of golden rod and wild
vines, and the fragrance OF buck
wheat blossoms, had given that Sc
cret unforgettable charm and lowell
ness. AS we approached his humble
cottage, almost hid by a clump of
cedars, he said: Il know Mary loves
me by the way she places the light
in the window. 1t is standing there
now
SO it was, A star of love in a
wayside cottage! Though we were
fast friends, conversation ceased.
But love was not silent. After a lit
tie, deep and subdued as the tWi-
| light, he began to hum tune.
What it was | could not ascertain.
| | had never heard anything just like
it, and yet it had a familiarity to 1t
that fitted every niche of my being.
! 1t was music-deep and unforget-
| table. And | knew a song service
was in progress in the audience
room of my friends heart. A stray
bit Of it came to me through the
walls of secrecy and exclusiveness.
But the music was there, and it's ly-
ric pathOs stirs me yet.
The Christian sings because he
must. He knows he is loved by the
way God has placed the Light. The
Light is in the window! 1t is every
where. Going down the crowded
Broadways of the world, he can Set
it: every Broad way leads to Grace
Church. Every country roads leac
to the Light in the window. Every
where it CLEANS with perfectly be
wildering enrichment. 1t inspire

A Hypocrite or q Liar.
Waynesville Enterprise


The Gazette-News says in sub
stance that our most needed reform
is the Australian ballot. And here
in the brother spoke volumes. The
first act of reform should be the set
ting in order of the machinery
whereby other reforms are produced
When a man goes to saw wood he
should first get saw. Most of our
reformers for revenue only would saw
with pie crust.
We do not see how any well in
formed citizen of North Carolina can
fail to recognize the serious fact that
ballot reform must precede all other
forward movements in our State. The
idle prating about trust curbing, ju-
dicial reform, etc., when our very
machinery for expressing our own
wishes is unfair, inefficient and rot
ten to the core, is enough to nause-
ate the devil. When you hear a man
say he is for civic betterment but
not for ballot reform you are having
the sweet privilege OF listening to a
hypocrite and a lair-either that or
a simpleton.

The first negro who ever sat In
the United States Senate as a duly
qualified member took his seat forty
two years ago tomorrow. He was
Hiram r. Revels, elected by the Re
construction Legislature OF Missis-
sippi, and he served from February,
1870, TO March of the next year.
Revels was born in North Caro-

desiring an education, he went TO In
diana, where he attended the Quaker
College at Liberty. Later he studied
at Knox College, in Illinois, and in
1S47 he became a preacher in the
African Methodist Episcopal Church.
He went about the country speaking
about slavery, and at the breaking
out of the war he organized negro
regiments in Missouri and Maryland.
In 1869 he went to NatcheZ, Miss,
where he was elected a member of
the city council. His next Office was
that Of United States Senator.

LIES KEY.

The hand that fashioned me tuned my ear
To chord with the major key.
In the darkest moments Of life / hear
Glrains OF courage. and hope and cheer
From chOrs that / cannot see
And the music Of life seems so inspired
That 1t will not let me grow sad or tired.
Yet through and under the magic strain
1 hear with the passing OF years,
The mournfuI minors measures OF pain
OF souls that struggle and toll in vain
For a goal that never nears.
And the sorrowful cadence of good gone
wrong
Breaks more and more into earth's glad
song.
And oft, in the dark OF the night, wake,
And think Of Borrowing lives;
And / long to comfort the hearts that acne.
To Eweeten the cup that is bitter to take
And TO strengthen each soul that strives
] long to cry to them: do not fear!
Help is coming and aid is near"
However desolate, weird, or strange
Lies monody sounds to you,
Before tomorrow the air may change
And the Great Director of Music arrange
A program perfectly new;
And the dlrge in minor may suddenly be
Turned into a jubilant song of gIee.

Signing Petitions for Pardons.
Times.1

MOCh6Flllo 1lm0S.I
About four years ago one James
Lang was tried in Mocksville for bank
robbery and sentenced to five years
in the State Penitentiary. A year
ago or more it was reported that
Lang was nearly dead with consump-
lion and could not recover. A par
don was asked for him. Much SYM
pathy was expressed for him and a
petition was circulated here. Many
people signed it, the editor along
with the rest. The Governor finally
pardoned him. Did Lang go home to
die? Not much, he didn't. He went
to New York State and two weeks
ago tried to rob another bank. To-
day he is serving a nine-year SEN
tence in Sing Sing prison. Another
case of somebody being buncoed
Somebody Is to blame. A fellow
once remarked that the American
people loved to be bunseel. He told
the truth. There are q few cases
where pardons should be granted
but not many. Every case should
be thoroughly Investigated before
any pardon Is granted. Lawyers and
doctors are not always infallible.
Some one is to blame.

loved her society. She continued:
