Arch. Cheatham, a graduate of Trinity College, who is studying medicine at the University of Maryland, Baltimore. It is exceedingly gratifying to see that more of our North Carolina youth are not satisfied, with merely a college course, but are going to great literary and artistic centres, and there by study and by coming in contact with greater currents of thought, to become broader and stronger, and better able to mould aright the iising generation. But I was about to drift away from what I started out to tell about our moonlight trip op the Bay.

A KESBY KVXKIKO. Well seated on deck, we formed ourselves into a kind of glee club and sang and chatted and made merry till the chill night air drove us to our apartments. Of course we let "The Old North State" float on the breezes with patriotic unction comic songs, such as "Dem Golden Slippers," interwoven with "Home, Sweet Home" gave variety while dashing sailor songs, suoh as "Drifting With the Tide" and "Nancy Lee" were sung with the test which our surroundings were suited to draw forth. Bat the merry jest the bright repartee, and the perfect abandon in it all, cannot be recorded here nor can I attempt a description of the moonlight which seemed to flirt with the few stray bits of cloud and then to pour down its full glory upon the historic Chesapeake for I know I should get my adjectives fearfully confused and end in sophomoric gush.

It does not rest heavily upon them, and they feel that they w'U be repaid manifold for their enterprise and public spirit So they will. A Raleigh capitalist who was never known to "turn loose," rather laughed at the Durham people, saying their debts would swamp them, but he was laughed at by the progressive Durham banker. Raleigh has some old fogies who could, without the least loss, be swapped for a yellow dog, and then with equal advantage the latter could be killed. Such men are a drawback to really progressive, earnast and liberal men, of whom this city furn ishes some good examples. Time, which overcomes so many things, will at last bowl over the old fogies, which is one of the pleasant things to look forward to." History repeats itself.

Iu the sev enteenth century Galileo adyanoed the theory that the sun ia immovable in the centre of the world the earth revolves daily around it. For so holding and teaching he was summoned to Rome, where the Sacred College pronounced his theory "nb-Burd in philosophy, and formally heretical, because expressly contrary to Holy Scriptures. And Galileo was put in confinement and only escaped the torture of the inquisition by recantation. Only two or three years ago Mr. Walter H.

After you cross the Virginia border, the entire country seems to be given, over excepting Suffolk and the Sea port towns to peanut and cane farms, with patches of cotton and corn here and there, and old buildings with dor mer windows, and rank weeds and grass growing almost everywhere.

The few small hamlets along the route seem consist largely of a grocery and bar-room as a nucleus, around which are gathered a few ragged houses, a great many of which are filled by still more ragged negroes. iut this view one gets from the train is doubtless superficial. Of course there are prosperous planters and truckers in the interior who are making money and who hye in elegance and comfort. The and certainly looks rich enough to roduce well. It is doubtless the shift less and thriftless class of negroes who are attracted to the railroad by what little employment it has to offer, and the equally thriftless white man goes there and opens a grocery to catch the floating pennies.

She was a'plump and motlferly old lady who bid me welcome the other evening at a farm house in Tennessee with bright eyes and a soft voice that even the brindle calf, the chickens' and the litter -of little paps knew and loved. he bnstled about carpeted witb her own handiwork; trundled the big arm chair to the fir for the guest, dusted the hearth with a turkey wing and faaned the embers till the blaze crackled and lit the room with a ruddy glow, "Now move to" the sir," she said, "for it's cool this evening, and riding has chilled you I know. Father will be in after a little for supper, but I think I had better brinjj you some coffee right: here." And without waiting for an answer, she bustled away on her kindly errand. How cheerful the red light made the room, throwing the dancing shadows across the rag-work carpet and touching with a comely tint, the plain old furniture, while in strange contrast the polished frame of a grand piano gleamed from under its heavy draping.

A woman's handiwork was here, the patchwork quilt, the cushioned chair, the white frilled curtains told of frugal care that had made this home and made it beautiful. But the house was still; little chair stood near the fireside, but only a kitten curled in it and purred at the glowing coals. The little old lady had bustled back, the coffee was on the coals now, and she kneeled to brown the white bread and fan the fire again. The hair was white beneath her cap, and now that I noticed closely there were, lines on her face that do not always come with years, and the eyes were sad when she ceased to speak, It was not curiosity to know why the little chair was empty, nor whose, the portrait was that stood near the old Bible, the slender girl in white with flowers at her throat. There was sympathy for the sad beautiful face from the first and perhaps she felt that her words touched an answering cord in my heart.

"Yes, there were two, sir, little girls both, and both are gone. We buried one on the hill yonder, and the other is out in the wide world somewhere, following a worthless man. The croup came one night, and came so sudden sir. I waked and they were gasping and moaning for breath. No doctor lived near us then and I had never seen the croup so bad.

All we could do was done, but no good came. Had they been drowning I would have done something, but it was awful, sir, to sit still and seee them gasp and struggle and die.

I hugged her ud so close, but she died there. gasped and gasped till her little' life went out. "We buried her: there on the hill and then came back to Annie.

Now life, now death, it seemed, and through these lone winter nisrhts as I watched her and fought death off, all the 1 had ever known grew into love, for her. Yes, I watched over her and prayed to the Good Lord till He drove death away. she grew weak ly and could never help about the milking and cooking and things, "Ho, baby, mamma is abler than you.
