The-Fir?t National Bank of Wilming? ton, N. C. suspended payment on Wednesday, last. The assets of the .bank are greater than the liabilities, but the financial stringency eansed an uoability to meet the demand.

I have said that I have see? col leg" women fail in the cum inercia! i world, using the tetra to cover the ? giving of work "for which money is ! paid. There cora.es to mind now a j clear, beautiful morling in the early j fall, when a card of introduction was j banded to me in my t.f&ee, intro? ducing a gad nate of the Harvard j Annex and of Girton College. Had j 1 bee? asked before thin experience ! whether it were p?>-*sible for a woman to fait with such an equip meui, I would have unhesitatingly answered "No." The bearer of the card shortly appeared. There was not* one indication iii lo*r dress or manner of h< r educational advan? tages. A bang that began at the crown of her head, so cut that it reminded you of terraces, extended * io-her eyebrows, completely covering ?er forehead A hat many sizes too small for a woman of her height was on her head lier dress was too .short, and the braid was worn off ; two buttons w<*re off her dress, aud her handkerchief in the opening did not hide the fact of their absence When she sat down I unconsciously i moved my chair to make rodm for ber. She told her story. She could find nothing to do. tv he Ind been teaching but did not like it She wanted other work. No immigrant bad more vague ideas of what she wauted to do than this woman. She thought she could do newspaper work : was sure she could write editorials. She wauted to get into a newspaper office, lt took all the self conn? and I had lo refrain from saying, "There is notan office in the country that would shelter that bang " 1 inwardly groaned. My drear? that a college education was the protection of women against just such experience? as hers was dispel! cd. No widow with five children and a district school education faced the world mors helplessly. Her mind was a great mass of dough, unshaped and uushapable until it had passed through the fire. The girl who comes out of college with no sense of proportion^ no eye for color, no sense of the fitness of things, no knowledge of the present condition of the world of which, from her stand point, she forms so large a part will need another train? ing, that of painful experience, to fit ber to use the tools given by her -ahfin muter.-From Harper's Bazar. A Familiar Incident of Boyhood. **Is she lookin*?" whispered a guilty faced lad of probably seven years, while he paused on the brink of a puddle of water on a quiet north street "Nope-g'onin," answered the other. He was a little street boy, with a dirty face and a pair of the most wonderfully fashioned, fastened and patched trousers I have ever looked at. His companion was well dressed, and had evidently been dared to wade through the puddle. He was willing and anxious to do it. but he didn't care to be caught, so he instituted the foregoing careful inquiry as to his mothers whereabouts. I walked slor.ly, for I wanted to see the fun, and present? ly the challenged one started in at the brink. "Ah, go on," said Trousers derisively. "You're 'fraid o' gettin' yer feet wet Yehll get put in a corner when yen go in." "No, I won't, either," answered the little one, and he waded in toward the center. The water was cold, and he said ough-h-h-hp! rather loudly. The door opened, a pair of noisy slippers clat? tered down the steps, an an^ry hand ?boxed Trousers' ears to get him ont of the way, and the poor, shivering little son and heir was invited to come into tbe house before another minute had gone by and get the biggest whipping be had ever been unlucky enough to re? ceive. He went in, leaving wet footprints on the steps and crying apprehensively. Trousers watched affairs from the cor? ner, a few passers by smiled and the! waving waters of the puddle grew calm. | -Toronto Globe, SHERIFF'S SALES.
