The Patriot,
FOR THE CAMPAIGN!
Dark-Eyed Inez.
BY KRASCI8 M. HELMS, M. D.
Dark-eyed Inez, do I love thee I
ask the stars that shine above theo,
That have heard so oft and over
The confessions of thy lover.
Dark-eyed Inez, dost thon doubt mo I
Look shove thee, look about thee.
Does the sun forget the river,
On whose wave it loves to i|Uiver t
Does the moon forgot the stream, love,
On whose breast it loves to dream, love,
Or the suiiwutd-leaping fountain
Its high source upon the mountain ?
Doe. the bee forget ihe bower
Ol the nectar-laden (lower T
Or Ihe bulleitly Ihe heather
In the waini and balmy weather!
Dark-eyed Inez, 1 will love loce,
Wh-n no stars can shine above tin* :
When the sun can BO more uaivef
Ou the aurl'aee of the river-;
When the moon can no more dream, love,
On the bosom of the stream, lnve ;
When the sonward-leaping fountain
Has no source high on the mountain :
When the We forgets the bower
Of the neater-laden Sewer;
Aud the butteitly the heather,
Iu the warm and balmy weather;
For no cloud can intervene, love.
Pride that choke, come in between, love :
Nor cold winter's chilling powaf
Blight our heather or its dower.
Why?
'" 1 wonder why Hugh don't come

So spoke Mrs. Hentz, a bright,
vivacious woman, who, though
married for more than a year was
yet not three years past her teens.
It was a bright, cheerful room in

JAMES SL0AM8 SON'S.
March 11, 1S74.
Some of the Alabama negroes
are not numindlul of their equality
before the law. It was only the
other day that a lady met an old
colored woman in Montgomery
whom she knew. She met her
with "llowdy do, Aunt Marie!"
The aged negress raised herself
erect, placed her arms akimbo,
and remarked loftily, looking side-wise:
"I ain't yer ant, aud I ain't
yer uncle; I'se yer ekal!" and in-dignantly
passed on.
pardon me again if in the score of
the long friendship I have had for
you I now ask a few questions.—
Have you watched over yourself
and been at all times as careful of
what you have done and said before
him as you would be of acts and
speech in tue presence of a mere
visitor when you have felt nervous
and querulous, and things ia your
daily duties have not' gone to suit f
Have you been as careful not to
throw the shadow of your disquie-tude
upon him as you would be if
it were another, tor instance as if it
were me t
Hugh is a man that loves sun-shine
and brightness; when he is
away from home the very qnalities
which in him first won your admira-tion
lead those with whom be meets,
whatever their mental disquietude
may be, to throw it off either
through sinister motives or polite-ness
and meet him with a pleasant
face and a kindly band shake.—
They visit no querulousuess upon
him, how is it with you ! Think
carefully, and if my suspicions
wrong you, pardon me the thought,
but if otherwise keep more careful
guard over yourself in the tutnre,
and put yourself out of yourself
more, aud in his place, aud when I
come to you again, perhaps the dajs
yon now deplore as lost will have
come to yon again." >♦*
Mrs. Hentz did think, that night,
the next day aud for several days
after her kiud visitor bad goue, and
though she said to herself, at first
petulantly. " I have done no wrong,"
yet a constant recurrence to the
subject at last brought possible
doubt of herself and finally the cer-tain
conviction that in all things
she had not kept the strict watcb
over her ways which was needed to
make her home wholly inviting.—
She remembered how, a few months
after they were married, when
Hugh came borne to bis dinner, be
ing tired, nervous and out ot sorts,
she had sat during the whole meal
and the entire nooning almost with-out
a wonl and answering him iu
monosyllables. She remembered,
too, that he did not upbraid her
but went to his office sooner than
usual; and she remembered, too,
, of other like occasious when to be

Mooting in Jafiaraon. '
The Conservatives of Jefferson
Township held a meeting at Mc
Leansville, on Saturday, June 13th.
T. B. Donnell was called to the
chair, and J. W. Forbis appointed
Secretary.
Tbe following preamble and reso-lutions
were adopted,
WHEREAS, The people of this
State are burdened and oppressed
with heavy taxes, and whereas we
believe this is owing in a great
measure to the greatly increased
number of places to be filled by ol
flees whose salaries and fees are
about twiee as large us was paid
such officers before the war, when
tbe people were much more able to
pay high salaries than uow, and to
tbe fact that our legislators have
fixed their own pur diem at uearly
twice as much as was paid members
of the legislature previous to the
war, and
rFaereo*, We can see no just rea-son
why the common people should
be compelled to pay these heavy
taxes, in order to enrich tbo office-holders,
when they themselves have
to labor hard and arc more pressed
to make a living tbau at any former
time when they were iu better cir-cumstances,
aud
rVAerea*, This is a reckless ex
travagance in the administration ot
every department of the State gov-ernment,
and
Whereat, The leaders of our par
ly aud candidates for public favor
were loud in tbeir denunciation ot
tbe Republican party for bringing
about this state of things, aud
Whereat, Our party baviug had
a good working majority in the leg-islature
tor the last four, have, as
we believe, failed to do for tbe peo-ple
all that they had a just right to
expect, in the way of correcting ex-isting
extravagance, aud bad man-agement,
therefore,
Kesoireil, 1. That we are in favor
of lowering the salaries and fees of
public officers in all cases where
thev amount to more than a reason-able
compensation for the time and
labor of tbe incumbent, and that
we will support no man for the leg
islattire who is not iu favor of re-treuchmeut
and economy in the
management ol our State and coun-ty
affairs, and wbo is not willing to
serve in the legislature for three
dollars per diem.
Revolted 2. That we consider the
revenue law, that taxed the farmers
provisions which he has raised op
bis land, on which be has paid a
tax, and cultivated with a plow
which has beeu taxed, drawn by a
horse that has been taxed, before
be has had time to realize on it, or
even tried to satisfy the cravings
of his hunger with it, us an unjust,
nneqnal aud oppressive one, not
being able to see why the man who
who is possessed of au income
should be exempt in the first place
five hundred dollars, and in the
second place exempt entirely if that
income is derived Irom property
that has been taxed, while the
farmer is taxed, tax upon tax of tax
Retolved 3. That we believe the
true policy of our State to be, and
we think our next legislature should
exempt Irom taxation for a limited
time, all capital hereafter invested
iu the manutactureof woolen or cot
ton goods, shoes, irons, machinery
and farming implements of all
kinds, thereby incourage capitalists
to come iimting us, and take hold
of our abundant facilities for manu-facturing
purposes, of all kinds; be
lieving that such a course would do
more towards building np onr State,
giviug us a home market for our
surplus products, and infusing life
and energy into our owu people,
than any other conrse that could be
adopted.
Rctolttd 4. That our delegates be
requested to present these resolu
iions to tbo county convention and
urge tbeir adoption.
Resolved ~>. That if tbe candidates
nominated for the legislature will
pledge themselves to go for the
principles set forth id our first reso-lutions
we will give them a cordial
support.
The following persons were ap-pointed
delegates to the county
convention, viz:
Jas A Stewart, Wm F Thorn, T
A Rankin, Dr. J A McLean, and
F B McLean
T. B. DONNELL, Chm'n.

Annual Commencement of
Trinity College, N. C,
June 1, 1874.
The day was bright and lovelj
and a tolerably large congregation
assembled in tbo College Chapel to
hear the sermon before the Theo-logical
Society by Rev. Charles
Phillips, D. D., of Davidson Col
lege. His subject was •' Faith,"
founded upon Hebrews IX, 1. lie
discussed thoroughly but plainly
the nature ami character of faith ;
aud said that faith had to do with
two kinds ot thiugs, viz : things ac-cidentally
not seen, and things not
seeu on account of tbeir invisibility.
The sei iiiou was deep, earnest and
imptessive, and all were well
pleased.

Sophnniorc class declaimed on Tiles

June JO. The sermon belore the
Graduating class was preached on
Wednesday, at 11 o'clock, A. M.,
by Bishop J. C. Keener, of New
Orleans. His text was from Mat.
1, 3 aud VI; subject, "The tempta-tion
of Christ." The application
the Bishop made of the text was,
that as at that time Christ was a
young man just starting out into
public life aud was templed of the
devil, so the graduating class were
young men abont to enter the arena
of life, and that they, too, would be
tempted iu the very points that
would apjiear favorable to their in-terests.
Then he held out the ex-ample
of Jesus in meeting the devil
boldly with truth as the only true
method of overcoming temptation
aud sin. He spoke earnestly aud
beautifully of the necessity ot a de-votion
to sound principles, impress
ing upon the young men that it is
far belter to die by principle than
to swerve from the right. Tbe
Bishop's theme was a happy solec
tion, the application of it wisel)
adapted and the large and attentive
audience was deeply impressed.
At HJ o'clock, I*. IL, the address
before "the Literary Societies was
delivered by Rev. A. W. Wilson, 1).
D., of Washington city. His sub
jectwas, " Literature aud Religion."
The address was a profound, philo
sophic, scholarly production, and
yet made so simple that all could
uuderstautl and appreciate much ol
its beauty. He argued pointedly
that the liiblo is the foundation ol
all literature. He said that !< 10 ol
the literature of tbe world was
based U|HOU the writings of St. Paul.
He argued closely that Homer was
thoroughly religious; that litera
ture is the expression of the thoughts
and feelings of a nation in any par
ticalar age; that the one who gives
shape and form by expression to
these thoughts aud feelings is what
is called a genius ; aud that one ol
the most important questions to
the youth is the selection of tbeir
literature. I have never read nor
heard auythiug deeper, richer in
philosophy, sublimer iu thought,
more elegant in diction, and as
much calculated to please, instruct
and impress at the same time —
Dr. Wilson is, iu the true, sense ol
that term, a literary inau, as well
as an eloquent preacher.
Wednesday evening, six members
of the Junior class delivered ora-tions,
all of which were well written
and elegantly spoken.

By request Col. Armfield of States-ville
delivered the medals.
The Bibles were presented by
liishop Keener. The Bishop asked
the audience to indulge bim a few
moments, and said that he was
wouderfully but agreeably sur-prised
to find snch a high degree
of culture at Trinity. Turning to
Dr_ Craven, the President, he said,
" You have a better thing here than
you think you have."
The degree of D. D., was eon-fered
upon Rev. N. H. i>. Wilson,
of Greensboro, N. 0.
About 4 o'clock in the afternoon
there fell a hard rain which cooled
the atmosphere nicely for the party
at night. Early in the evening a
large company was collected abont
the College, and I suppose many
confessions aud reciprocations of
confessions were made that night.
About 9 o'clock a balloon was sent
up close to the college. A Brass
and string Band gave a pleasing
variety to the music. Everything
passed ofl well. OBSKRVRS,
Study and Reanty.—No girl

appearance God meant
woman to be attractive, and it is
one of her duties to carry out
this design. But that dress is to
do all is more than we can helieve.
Just because we love to see girls
look well, as well as to live to some
purpose, we would urge on them
such a course of reading and study
as will confer qualities which no
modiste cau supply. A well-known
author once wrote a pretty essay
on the power of education to en-hance
beauty, claiming that it
absolutely chiseled tbe features,
and that he had seen many a clum-sy
nose and lip so modified by
a thought awakened and active
sentiment, as to lie uniecognizablc.

she saw two men leave the room.
When consciousness returned she

A recent traveler says: "What
always impresses me more than
anything else in Egypt and Pales-tine
has been the entile absence
of cheerful aud exhiliarating music
especialfy from the children. You
never hear them singing in the

deserved ther name in the streets
or houses of Jerusalem. One heavy
burden of voiceless sadness rests
n|ion that forsaken land. The
daughters of music have been
brought low. The mirth of the
table eeascth, tbe noise of them
that rejoice endeth; tbe joy of
the harp ceaseth!"
