Every graduate of Chapel Hill, says
the Charlotte ObscrCE!', knows Miss
Nancy Hilliarl, who for so many years
rs the presiding genius OF one of the
best of boarding houses, administered
to the comfort and happiness of the
students. No one knew her but to like
her. She was ever kind and cOnsid
crate and pleasant i'll all her dealings
with 1.-The boys" throughout the long
time she lived at the University. Few
there are of the Alumni, we imagine,
wlo cannot recall many little kind
nesses received from her hand during
their collegiate course. By he" long
connection with the University she
came to be looked upon as one of the
institutions of Chapel Hill, and was an
universal favorite among the young
men. Her fortunes fell with those OF
the University, and in her old age she
was turned adrift upon the world, shat
tered in health as well as fortune
Bowed with age rs she was, the good
old lady was compelled to struggle for
q living, and that, too, under the most
adverse circumstances Like the i'll
fatcd College, whose dark and empty
buildings stand i'll CHASTITY array round
about her lonely habitation. she is but
Il wreck of her fOrme: sClf-a relic of
days gone by. Her declining years,
instead of being bright with good
cheer, have been darkened with the
shadows of adversely. Poverty has
stared her in the face, and now, to
crown her misfortuncs, disease has
stricken her down, and she lies, aged
and helpless, i'll the drcary shades Of
ruined Chapel Hill.


We concur most heartily in this well
deserved tribute and sincerely deplore
the poverty 'ricken condition of one
whose long life of honest toll and
kindly deeds seems to have deserved n
more propitious ending. We have
been informed from other sources too
that but for the Kindness OF friends
and neiShbors, Miss Nancy would now
be suffering for the actual necessarle'
of life.


But our purpose is not to parade
the pitiable condition of this venerable
old lady before the public, SO much as
to make an attempt to alleviate 1T.
Ought not something be done i'll heI
behalf by those who, i'll her more
prosperous days, received SO many
kindnesscs at her hands We think
there can be but one answer to tins
question.


The Editors of the JOURNAL vii
take pleasure III forwarding to her any
sums that may be entrusted to then
for her benefit. 1t will be lasting
shame upon "Chapel Hillians" not to
do something to relieve the wants o
their old friend who now lies at death
door, stricken with disease and The
inirmit.es Of age.

A correspondent from Long Branch
in the Tribune has the following
There was recently here leading
member of Congress who, during the
last session, was very prominent in
the Credit-Mobilier investigations
and who is also member Of the ju-
dietary committee of the House. AL
though he did not come especially to
see the President, but to arrange
s0me official matters with member
Of the Cabinet who was then there,
he yet called on General Grant and
had long conversation: In sub
sequent conversation I had with him
the subject of the possibility of Cen
eral Grants candidacy for third
term came up. He declared in the
most emphatic manner that he was
unreservedly opposed to such q can
didacy, but that he had every faith
in General Grant. He said, howev-
er, that there was not the remotest
possibility Of his again being can
d:date for the Presidency; that. he
knew General Grants ideas with re-
gard to that, and although che Presi-
dent had not told him in direct terms
it not being his habit 10 converse
about such things-he was wholly
satisfied that General Grant would
on no account allow his name to be
used in that connection il he could
help it.


Besides, said the Congressman,
=" before another presidential cleo
ton comes around you will find that
Grant will be Disqualified


How so p l asked.


During the next session of Cor
gress," continued he, another amend
ment will be made to the constitu-
ton; atleast, I believe SO, and eve
rythingcilow points to it. 1t has al
ready been a subject Of discussion
among prominent gentlemen in Con-
gress, and l really think it will go
through. At any rate it shall have
my hearty support, and if nobody
else will introduce it / will. The
amendment was one which MIR. Gree
ley favored with great earnestness,
and one which, sooner or later must
become part of the constitution


"You refer to the proposition to
change the tenure Of office of the
President ~


"Yes, and l tell you again that l
believe it will pass at the next ses-
sion by the necessary two-thirds ma
jority. 1t will have many strong
supporters in hoth Houses, and |
believe it will be an administration
measure.


Would General Grant favor such
a proposition p


{" Yes, / am sure he would, al
though ne could not well take an ac-
tive part in the matter. | know he
has thought Of the question seriously,
and have reason ior believing that
he favors the amendment increasing
the Presidential term to six years,
and declaring that a President shall
be ineligible to reelection. " Gene.
,al Grant" he continued, regarded
his last election as a great popnl'r
vindication, and he was very proud
Of it. His object is now TO perform
his duties with all the conscientious
sincerity he possesses, to do whatever
shall seem best for the country, and
to serve his term as quietly and use
fully as possible"

Gather the sacred dust


Of the warriors tried and true,
Who bore the flag of our nations trust,
And fell in the cause, though lost, still


lust, -
And died for me and you.
Gathef them, one and all !


From the private to the chief,
Come they from hovel or princely hall,
They fell for US, and for them should fall
The tears of.a nations grief.
Gather the corpses strewn


Ger many battle plain;
From many grave that lies so lone,
Without name and without stone,
Gather the Southern slain.
We care not whence they came,
Dean is their lifeless clay!
Whether unknown, or known, to fame
Their cause and country still the same
They died-and Wore the gray.
Wherever the brave have died,
They should not rest apart;
Living, they struggled side by side
Why should the hand OF death divide
A single heart from heart,
Gather their scattered clay,


Wherever it may rest;
Just as they marched to the bloody fray;
Just as they fell on the battle-day;
Bury them breast 10 breast.
The foeman need not dread


This gathering of the brave;
Without sword or flag, or without sound


less tread,
We muster, once more, our deathless


dead


Out OF each lonely grave.
The foeman need not frown;


They are all powerless now
We gather them here, and we lay them


down,
And tears and prayers are the only


crown


We bring, to wreath each brow.
And the dead thus meet the dead,
While the living DER them weep;
And the men whom Lee and Stonewall


led;
And the hearts that once together bled;
Together still shall sleep.

SoANDAL.-rhe story is told of a
woman who freely used her tongue
to the scandal OF others, and made
confession to the priest of what she
had done. He gave her ripe this
tie top, and told her tc go out in va
rious directions and scatter the seeds,
one by che. Wondering at the pen
aace, she obeyed, and then returned
and told her confessor. To her amaze
ment, he babe her 50 back and gath
er the scattered seeds; and when she
objected that it would be impossible,
he replied that it would be still more
difficult to gather up and destroy all
evil reports which she had circula-
ted about others. Any thoughtless,
careless child can scatter handful
Of thistle-seed before the wind in a
moment, but the strongest and wisest
man can not gather them again.

Before our next issue, another Christmas
will have come, and gone. Another glad
day Of joy and rejoicing will have blessed
the earth, and thousands upon thousands
of human lives will have been made hap
pier, holier, and better. Brothers and SIS
ters, families and friends, who have not
seen each other since the last Christmas
time, will again meet and greet each other
in the old homestead, at the old freside,
and in the social gathering. Let it be in
deed merry Christmas to all, if possible,
the merriest we have ever known. If it
commentaries the birth Of the worlds
Saviour, then should the world rejoice and
be glad upon this day as it is not upon any
other day in the year. But let our pleas
ures be pure, simple, unalloyed, and un-
mingled with aught that can transform the
cup of Joy to the dregs Of pain and anguish
Let US remember, too, that every return of
this day repeats the great lesson Of peace
and harmony among the nations of the
earth. 1t was upon this glad morning
eighteen hundred and seventy-three years
ago, that Heavens bright choristers came
down to earth, singing, Glory to God in

army in its long fatiguing marches over
rough and hilly roads, or soft and muddy
roads, when the sun ID hot, and rations
small, but when the field of battle is reach

in his power to arouse the emotions OF his
soldiers, then he appeals to their honor,
their heroism, their patriotism then the
drums, and flies, and the most inspiriting
martial music is used to stir up the feel

most sure, but without it defeat is certain.
So is it with the great Christian army. For
much of the work that it must accomplish
it cannot rely upon mere feeling or emotion,
but there are periods when it will be nec-
essary to success that the strongest enthu-
siasm be aroused in the breast Of every
Christian soldier.


Ardor, enthusiasm, and feeling are nec-
essary to success in every department of
business in life. Why should it be less es-
sential in the great work of the Christian.
The man of clear intellect, and profound
Judgment, but with cold and ice bound
heart, will not accomplish so much for the
Master as one with less intelligence, but
having warm heart.

Rev. Charles Griswold, Chaplain of the
Red Wing Grange, discovers upon this
subject in q sermon delivered at the NJ. E.
Church in Red Wing, on Sunday last, an
epitome Of which we give. .......


Many persons regard the exercise Of the
emotions as an indication Of weakness and
want Of intelligence. 1t is a characteristic
Of this day and age to sneer and scoff at
what is called emotional religion. It is
not considered gsnteel, or respectable to
discover any feeling whatever in religious
exercises. It. is undoubtedly true that the
ignorant are more apt to allow their emo
tions and passions to control them than are
the intelligent, but when the emotions are
properly controlled and directed by intelli-
gencs and irssson, they become mighty

We notice that the Farmers Mutual In
surance Company of Minneapolis was
warmly endorsed by the State Grange at
its late session in Faribault. We have not
had an opportunity Of investigating the
mode of operation, and the exact standing
of this Company so thoroughly as we would
like to, for want Of time, but SO far as we
have examined it, we are satisfied that it is
doing business upon the proper basis. 1t
is giving insurance at the actual cost. Its
main purpose and object is not to pile up
wealth in the hands Of favored stockhold-
ers, directors and officers, but to give in
surance at such rate as will simply pay
losses and current expenses. This is the
right basis, and if properly managed will
make just the company farmers will
patronize. We have long been acquainted
with the Secretary of this company, and
know him to be one of the most energetic,
industrious and wide awake men in the
State: We call the attention of the
Oranges. and of farmers generally, to this
company. The matter of insurance is get
ting to be one Of very great Importance,
and it will be we'll for us to find out who
our friends are in this department of busi-
ness, as we'll as in others.

We met Bro. J. S. Denman, Secretary
VIM. Paist and Bros. Smith and Simmons,
of the State Executive Committee P. Of H.,
on the down train Monday evening. They
were on their way to attend the first meet
ing of the Executive Committee. a report Of
which will appear in our next Issue. Bro.
Denman informed US that he had made
contract with the Monitor Plow Works
since the close of the Grange for the sup
plying of their excellent plows to Patrons
on the terms that were mentioned at the
Grange. We had also made arrangements
with the Owatonna Seeders, and was nego-
tiating and would be able to close with the
Hubbard Harvester. 1t begins to look as
though farmers would be able to buy the
most of their machinery at home this year.

resolution that was passed by the State
Grange:


"Resozved, " That the State Grange are
strongly in favor Of doing any thing that
can be legitimately done to educate the
masses, and extend all proper means of in
telligence. and therefore we recommend
the members to subscribe for THE GRANGE
ADVANCE of Red Wing, and The Farmers
Union of Minneapolis, or any other paper
which in their opinion is the best calcula-
ted to further this idea but that we do
not recommend any paper as the official
organ of this Grange, for by so doing we
commit this Grange to the views of individ-
uals which may prove very distasteful to
the masses Of our membership, and preju-
dicial to the best interests of our organ


The "of6cial organ resolution went on

McShane.-T'he plaintiff alleges that on the 9th OF
last March while IN the defendants liquor store
they assaulted him, without cause or proyocaton
on his part and beat him on the head, one with
club and the other with cart rung, so that his
life was despaired OF for several days, and he was
unable to do any work for five or six weeks. The
defendants testified tnat the plaintin came into
their store and was abusing an old man by the
name OF Peter Nugent; they ordered him out; ne
refused to go and they put him out and closed
the door. He kicked in two OF the panels
OF the door ana they then went out

The Court, in charging the jury, said that II they
found that the plaintin kicked IN the panels OF the
door and was noisy and troublesome, the defend
ants had right to use sufficient force to remove
him from the premises; and while tney had no
right to undne violence, still they could not be
held to q very strict accountability, as IL would be

Marcus knew that the drowziness that
steals over the freezing was coming to
the worn-out child, and he exerted him
self to keep her awake, as he sped up
the mountain. carrying her in his arms,
the lamb following nimbly behind.


It was nearly midnight of the follow

and foot. sore, laid the little Leila in the
lap of her overjoyed mother. That was
time of JOY long to be remembered in
the hut of William Reade-a time of
thanksgiving and praise to the Great
Father of all good.


Well, reader, good many years af-
terwards, Marcus Wellman, having made
his escape from the Pcquawkets, grew to
be rich man, lawyer in promising

gun to speak of him as great and good,
what do you think he did? He went
far back to the foot of the White Noun

vided for them; and by and by. when
the world had done wondering, he made
Leila his wife, and they were a very
