The dawe grows ied in the East With pomp and purple of gold, And curtains of trailing mist Arc in gauzy films nprolled, The sun like a painter comes To illnmo the background gray, Ami he wields his mngic brush, Though few know it/every day. The birds awake when I he dawn Draws faint pink streaks in the Esst, And the bobolink and thrush Rehearse for a royal feast. The robin, tho linnet, the lark, Are songsters gladsome and gay ; The music they make is good, And they make it every day. Th'- brook begins with its song Al earliest morning hour, And the bee.its soft drone starts In the wet and dewy flower. The sound of all growing things ls heard in the wind harp's lay ; T!iu song is of peace and love, And earth sings iv. every day. There are children glad as dreams, And they lill fair houses with light, And their voices chime in chords Of joy from morn till night. Triumphant the whole wide world, The children dance and are gay, The throb of the rhythm is sweet, And 'tis measured-every day. There are battles for the right, Jiy men who are brave and true, And the world will never know Half the valiant deeds they do. They make the sorry to smile, They make the wicked to pray, They make the brave lo dare, And they do it-every day. Judge lolbran on the pistol. In his charge before the court of Sessions at Spartan burg th us speaks of. the pernicious, and evil habit of j carrying concealed weapons: "C?n you imagine any uBe in the world to which a pistol can be put except to take human life? Can you mend a plougbstock with a pistol ? Can you make a hoe helve with a pistol ? Can you repair any piece of j your machinery that is broken with a j i-dol ? Can you write letters or keep a merchant's books with a pistol? What can you do with it except to take human life? You cannot shoot game with it; you cannot catch tish with it. For what purpose, then, Mr. Portman, is it carried? You know for what it is carried-you know very well the uses to which it has been put j -you know that this country has an^M^'ii ii blood for the past; ten ye^???^u?tPyT?Hrnuw bow much ol it is due to the fact that the pistol, the ruaily, convenient pistol, was at hand. Killed by a Ferocious Hog* RALEIGH. N. C., March 10.-Mr. Bi it tain Parker is an old gentleman about eighty years of age and resid ingin Buford Township, Union Coun ty. Ile own? a boar of the Berkshire breed. This hog is three years old, and will attack any unarmed person. Mr. Parker has been compelled to carry a large stick to prevent the bruie from attacking him. List Sat urday evening Mr. Parker met the hog in the lane near his house. The hog observed that Mr. Parker was without his usually heavy walking stick and attacked him. The man was thrown down, and the hog cut three gashes, each about five inches long, in Talker's right side. One of his ribs was torn loose from his breast bone and a gash three inches long was cut in his thigh. The boar then quit the fight. Mr. Parker has since, died of his wounds. The W heat Supply. As there is a strong probability that England and Russia will be at war soon the whe it situation becomes interesting, Flour has advanced in Wilmington already, but whether or not the prospect of a foreign war has had ar.y thing to do with it is more than we can say. On the 1st of March, the Cincinnati Price ?. urrcnl esti mites there were 210,000,000 bushe's oa hand as against 192,000 000 on the 1st of March, 1883. The crop for 1SS4 amounted to 513,000,000. *The sur plus of old crop on hand was 40,000, 000-total 053,000,000. The seed is estimated at 50,000,000. This coun try requires for food 289.000,000. The usual exports aggregate 118,000, 000. This makes as a total 487,000, 000. So if war comes there is a sur plus of 00,000,000. But in fact there will be more, as there were not ex ported in 18S3 but a little over 100, 000.C00 Probably the actual surplus over seed, usual exports, and home consumption will not ba.far from 100, 000,000 bushels. The price would gr np rapidly if war should come. WUwinglon SUIT.

Thc Revised Old Testament The simultaneous issue of the re vised Old Testament in Great Britain and this country was ilxed for Sunday, hut was postponed until Monday. It is believed there will be many changes in important portions of the book that will provoke extensive discussion. It is thought American reprints will be rendered impracticable, as an im mense shipment ia expected from Lon don and publisher's agents expect to be able to handle all tho trade. The publication and sale of the revised New Testament was a financial fail ure and the publishing housos of the east were heavy losers. At first, when the enthusiasm ran high over the re vised edition, premium figures were rrquired, and in many instances they were paid because the trade believed that the demand was permanent. The demand ceased one week alter the curiosity died out, and three months after the appearance of the edition the demand had dwindled to nothing. In New York wagon load after wagon load was carted into Leavitt's auction house on Broadway, and $1 volumes sold at nine cents. The same thing was done at Macy & Co.V, where from 15,000 to 40,000 copies were sold at from 10 to 18 cetits each. These copies were bought usually by dealers who are expecting a revival some of these days Dodd, Mead & Co. is the only American fii m to come out even on their issues. Potter & Coates, of Philadelphia, are reported to have Jost, and the New York branch house of Thomas Nelson & Sons, of London, through which the authorized edition was issued in America, still retain a big supply of the revision on hand. It ?H estimated that $300.000 has been lost in dead stock. The President's Pestor a Pro nounced Republican. The President has pur prised the local Presbyterians by renting a pew in the First Presbyterian Church which is presided over by the Rev. Byron Sunderland. Several churches claimed the President as their own, but he disappointed them and follow ed the advice of his former pastor in Buffalo. Dr. Sunderland is ono of the most eloquent preachers in Wash ingtcn, but ho is a pronounced lie publican. At one time his congrega lion was made up of the leading pub lie officials resident in Washington lu direct violation ol the will ol'the elders of the church Dr. Sunderland permitted Fred. Douglass, (the pro fessional negro,) to deliver a political lecture from flu; pulpit of the church. More than half of tho congrega1 ion became HO indignant that they left the church and never returned to it again. The cream ol Dr. Somier land's congregation then joined the New York Avenue Church, which uow claims to be the largest and the m st fashionable congregation in this city. It was heralded all over the country that the pastor of the New York Avenue Church was a former college mate of the President, and that tho latter hail engaged a pew in bis church. Kl Mahdi an ; IHokaunab, It s somewhat singular that the title ol "El Mahdi" should have been originally borne by the very Caliph who destroyed the most lamons of the present Mahdi's preder'.?sois, viz the Turcoman imposler, Hikiiu Ben Hashim, surnamed "Mokaiinah" (the veiled) from the covering ol silvered gauze which always hid his face. This worthy's career waa a pretty ex act counterpart of that ol the Sou dan Prophet. Ot' mean birth and by trade a fuller, he quitted bia native city ol Merv at forty years of age for a desert hermitage, whence he emerg ed with a proclamation of his divine mission which drew crowds ol enthu siasts to ins standard. Fixing his capital at Merv, he repulsed several attacks, but was at length defeated in 780 by the Caliph M didi in per.on, who drove him acros-t the Oxus, and finally blockaded him in Neksheb, the modern Karabi, ninety miles Southeast ol' Bokhara. Here the impostor, finding his cause hopeless, poisoned his remaining followers and then [dunged into a lank filled willi corrosive acid, that the disappear ance of his bo.ly might, give rise (as it actually did) to the belief that he had ascended to heaven. His life has been written by the French his lorian d'i?erbelot, but he is chiefly known lo Wes'ern readers through .?loore's famous poem in " Lilla Rookh," "The Veiled Prophet ol Kliorassan." Rev. Simmons Meynardie, who has recently been installed as pastor of 3 Baptist Church in Augusta, Ga., writes a touchingly fraternal lefter tc thc Nashville Ailvottnlc, in which ht delicately alludes to his "heredit?r) right among Methodists." We send our love to our young brother, and assure him ol'a deep interest ofiuany of his friends, and his father's friend? in his welfare and success.

From the greenville News. Col. J. Washington Watts pu bl ?ab ea a letter reciting the loase? he bas suf fered from cur dogs preying on his sheep and kids, and urging tbe need ol a dog law in this State. He is right. Weean not understand the timidity of thc legislature in hand ling the dog question. That body has in several matters ignored the rights and wishes of.the people, and its reluctance to enact a law which would be distasteful to only a small and un influential proportion of the voters and eagerly welcomed L'y a large and influential proportion ?9 in explicable. Judge Mackey used to say ?we could only raise such hogs aa had the speed and bottom to distance the pre datory colored brother in a go-aa-you please pedestrain contest. It ia a fact that our farmers can now keep no sheep unless they are strong and swift enough to defend themselves against or escape from the dogs of their neighborhoods. The dogs constitute the only ob stacle between our-farmers and a great deal of wealth, especially in the op country where the sheltered mountain coves oiler magnificent sheep pastur age. A tremendous increase io oar home food supply would be given by mutton, wool would add many dol lars to the money crops, and wool manufacturing establishments would give employment to much capital and many hand, in the towns. The yellow, sidling, starved, furtive cur, good for no imaginable use, with com plicated and unidentified ancestry, innumerable posterity and mysterious means of livelihood stands with tail tight between his legs and snarling teeth to drive all this prosperity and wealth from us, and scatter mange and hydrophobia in place of comfo' I and dol?ais. A license of two dollars a year for keeping a dog, with exception in la, vor of hounds which should be re quired to wear blocks at night, would remov?* the trouble and leavens some sheep. Hera!. Kew York Times. Herat, the present bone of conten tion between England and. Russia, is i..,iup.u.'ftivniy mak?n pJe'W mich paramount importance, contain ing barely 50,000 inhabitants. It is situated in a alight depression on the summit of a rocky ridge 2.G50 feet high, forming one of the weutermost spurs of the greatSafeid Koh (White Mountains) range, which runs across Northern Afghanistan from west to east. It is surrounded by a wall which measured from the base of the earthen mo ind on which it stands, ai faina a height of 75 feat, which ia considerably exceeded by several of the 150 towera that strengthen it. But these defenses, though seemingly formidable, are now, like those cf most Afghan fortresses, fast crum bling to decay from long neglect. The citadel, like that of Cairo, stands on a steep rock in the centre of the town. There are four bnziara, which iie just within the four principal gates. The place has a considerable trade with Persia, India, Turkestan and Wtstern China, the chief local products being saffron, asBa'o!ida, saddlery, caps, cloaks, shoes, carpets, sables and dressed sheepskins. The uame of the town is said to be de rived from Heri "Rud," or river, which flows along the southern base of the ridge upon which Herat stands. Thc Mink ('ommandmtnl. "What is the ninth commandment?" said a teacher to a boy in Sunday school. " Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor?"' "What is bearing false witness against your neighbor?" "It is telling falsehood." "Th.it is partly true; and yet it is not exactly thc right answer-be cause you may tell a falsehood about yourself." A very little girl then said. "If is when robody did anything and somebody went and told of it." "That will do," said the teacher with a smile.

I bought $25 worth of nickels and put them in my saddle bags'. Every kg cabin I would come to I would ride up and aak for a drink of water. Well, out- would come a little boy or girl with a gourd dipper of warm water. I would take a swal low, then drop a nickel in the dip) er. The little one would run in and I would go on. The child's mother would come and have the fat gentle man pointe 1 out. The cons?quence wap, t^afc I got the vote out of that boase. Well, one morning I rode np to a house, and a little girl brought me ont a dipper of water. I felt in my locket and discovered that I hadn't a copper 'Little girl,' said I, 'I generally have a nickel somewhere about me, bat I haven't to day, so I'll give you what's the next best thing for a girl, and that's a kiss.' So I got down off my horse and kissed her for my own little blue-eyed girl at home. "Another little black eyed girl here showed up, and I had to kiss he." ior a niece of mine whom she looked like. By this time another little girl showed up half a head taller than the rest, and not to be impartial I kissed her, when I found that four or. five other girls had gathered and I saw I was in for it. So commencing with the smallest I kissed each one. The change iu stature w.<s so gradu.il that I didn't notice that the last one was a full grown woman, and right hand some at that, until I had kissed her. Looking up I saw that there were two ir three old ladies laughing at me, and thinking thai I had made a bad break I lifted my hat to the young Indy and begged her pardon and explained how it was. She didn't seem to minti it much, but the old ladies kept laughing, and I tried to explain it, whet; one ol them said, 'Wy; durn it, J edge, sbe'e Bill's wife' MM.0?ii?ju|-' T 1 kuocka out-^?fTy vdtesliiTtiis iie^h birbuojl.

Lamont became private secretary. Shortly alter the election the papers ol' the State suddenly took an active interest in the private secre taryship. lt about equalled the re cent Cabinet gossip. Mr. Lamont's name wai then Ireely mentioned. One day lhere carnea letter from Mr. Lamont (o Grover Cleveland. In it he did not want lo be held responsi ble for what the japerssaid about his conneclion willi tbe private secretary ship, and hoped that Mr. Cleveland would not bold him responsi.de In fact, Ibo matter bad disturbed bim because ho did not wMi to be placed in a false posilion, aid his letter was prompted from these motives. He had not i bought of the office ami had not thought of making any effort to secure it. It was a plain letter, from a Candid man, and different from some of those who were scrambling for of fice. At that time Grover Cleveland did not know Daniel S. Lamont, but Mr. Biesell, Cleveland's partner, had a favorable acquaintance with him. They were classmates at Yale. Gol. Lamont was selected through no pressure, as has been intimated to me, for if -that pressure had been exerted Col. Limont would have been proba bly thrown overboard like all others who have relied upon political influ ence for positions within Cleveland's gift. He was selected upon his merits, as the result of inquiry and Mr. Bis sel i's frank statement of his merits. Speaking of Col. Lamont, I am re minded that during Cleveland's pre raration of the draft of his inaugural ineeepge in Buffalo he sent for Col. Lamont. He came to Buffalo and assisted Mr. Cleveland. Shortly after he returned to Albany, a lew weeks before the inauguration, an Albany paper purported to give an interview with Col. Ltmont, in which a synop sis wad given of what were intended to be the points of the Governor's forthcoming message. Somebody sent tbe newspaper slip to ihe Governor as a reflection upon Col. Lamont. Speaking of the matter a few days af* ter, a M?flalo lawyer asked Cleveland if the points published were true. 11 don't know," said Mr. Cleveland. 'Somebody sent me a newspaper slip containing an alleged synopsis. YVliert and how they made it up I ilon'l care. 1 have too much faith in Col.
