The last few years of the old man's 'life were not happy ones. He was 'estranged from bis old and life-long friends. He was continually smarting 'under a sense of injustice, feeling that he had been greatly wronged. became jealous, fault-finding and a dispenser of discomfort to others. His -wife and children sympathised with him, and also became bitter toward old .friends, and suspicious of both old and new ones. There was very alight ground for all this unhappiness, and it never would have been but for one of those gadding, talking, tattling busy bodiee. "There was a little trouble, a very little, »and it would have died a natural death in early infanoy if it had not been moat carefully and constantly nursed by this demon of misehlef. She—for In this ease 1 the demon was of the feminine gender— would make her call, profess her friendship, offer her sympathy, and than retail all the petty gossip, repeat, in magnified form, everything she had heard aaldt or that she had heard had been said, or that she had Imagined had been said, or thought people wanted to say. By the time her aall, usually prolonged to a vlsitatiuu, was ended, the old man and his family were in doubt whether they h«l any friends, save this ogress, who seemed to them the most devoted and steadfast friend Imaginable. This shedevil vai In their eyes an angel of light. She oatne and went often enough to keep the wound in their hearts open, and soon it became a chronio, Incurable, painful sore, and remained so till the end of life. He might have bad a peaceful, happy evening of life among thoee who respected, and loved him and were grateful for what he had done for them

In earlier and aotlve days. But upon all these real friends he looked with suapi olon, and even doubted the elnoerlty of their declarations of gratitude and friendship, until these declarations ceased, and even the kindly feelings wore greatly weakened, if not, in ctowie Instances, completely destroyed.

T. T. baa never looked upon the face of the one who wrought all thla mischief —it was years ago—without an almost irreeiatlble deelre to take her by the throat and stop the breath that poisoned the happiness of that man and hia household. If there is one spot In the nether world where the flamea are hot* ter than another, T. T. expeota to find this woman and her ilk of both sexes scorching there, and if he oan get at the a took of brlmatone he will throw in an extra handtal every Ume be paesee that way.

It Is very easy to aay that such are not worth minding, that people ought to have aenae enough to see through them and let their talk go in at one ear and out at the other. But this is a great deal easier said than done. T. T. has a friend whom he bellewe to be the very soul of honor," and be does not believe the atory which an enemy told to his discredit but he cannot help thinking, now and then, what If it were true? The possibility will suggest Itself. So of thoee slanders and goealping atories that are vended by the miachevioua gobetweens of society. They first arouse suspicion, or the thought whether what they aay may not be true, and by their constant ding-dong they cause the germ of a suspicion to qpdure Into a belief. They increase their power of evil by acting under the guise of friendship. They warn against false Mends by casting down old friends and climbing over them. They do many deeds of real kindness, and thua gain increased power to harm. When the Ume of affliction came to this old man and his family, she who had been their evil genius was first and foremost in expressions of sympathy and in offers of assistance She was untiring and self-sacrificing in her efforts to comfort and help. And oat of thla trouble ahe came with confirmed confidence, and as "a friend In need," waa able to ply her devilish work with ten-fold power.

T. T. does not mean to Imply that these go-betweens desire to make their

victims miserable. Often they intend to be real friends. Sometimes they are themselves deceived by others. Often they «re born gossips who most be tattling all their lives long. T. T. doei not intend to imply that the female sex monopolise this species of disagreeable humanity. The worst specimens T. T. ever met were malee. But whether male or female, or whatever the oause of their peculiarity, they are the source of untold mischief and misery In society. They destroy confidence in the ffcmily physician, or in the trusted adviser in legal aflttra. They get Into churcbee and unsettle ministers. They oause bitterness among churches, societies and individuals. They are curses. Out upon the go-betweens, the middle men and women in society.

KILLING THE GOOSE.

A LOOKTHEAD^

The impression which has been gaining ground in certain mlnda, namely, that this country has reached thecllmax of ita development and prosperity, and that henceforth ita destiny will be a downward rather than an upward one, baa only to be confronted with the real state of aflfcln in order to be utterly dissipated. Nothing la plainer than that the reeouroea of thla oountry are, to a vast extent, yet undeveloped. Take the State of North Carolina, for example. It la an old State. It hi two hundred years since it waa first settled. Yet, today, one third of ita territory Ilea an unbroken forest that plough has never touched. It i« not a poor country. On the contrary the higher portion of it bas a fertile soil and one of the best dimatee on the continent. The mountains are filled with the richest mlnsrala and have not yet been Invaded by the pick and ahovel of the miner. What the pppulation laok la eoargy. The inhebi&anta area ahiftleea, easy-going race, content with the commonest neceasariee of life and not caring to acquire any of the higher comforta of dvillsaUon. A New England population In North Carolina would make the State blossom like great garden. This ia not a solitary example. Initanceaof a similar kind are abundant In the Sooth ami West. Our oountry has not reached the aenlth of

The apoetiea of oommunlam in Ohio have been tenting their spleen on the mowing and reaping machines, baling destroyed some and poated np threatening noticea of their Intention to oonttnue the work of burning and smashing up. At Liberty, in thla State, on Sunday night, a factory for the manufacture of agricultural implements waa destroyed by fire, and at Connersvllle a building Sjitb a number of show wagona in it Atm burned to the ground* In both cases the fire was supposed to be the work of Inoendiarlea This kind of business carriee us back a hundred years to the time when the weavers of Lancashire, England, burst into tbe.botne of poor James Hargreavea and broke hia new-born apinning jenny all to plecea, and soon after scoured the country, deatroying every carding and apinning machine they could lay their handa on. Thla warfare of Ignorant laborers agalnat ootton weaving machinery oontinued for some Ume and resulted in the destruction of Richard Arkwrigbtfa largest and moet ooetly mill by a mob of working men, although it was defended by sol* diers and polloemen. For some time the prejudice waa so strong that the weavers would not buy his cotton-thread for their looms, while confessing that It waa the best In England. Yet the very machinery which the Lancashire wsavers were determined to exterminate baa turned out to be the greatest blessing to the working-men beoauee It enables their wires and daughters to be decently clothed in excellent ootton printa at from five to eight eenta a yard. And it Is the same with all other labor-saving devlcee. They multiply the comforts and conveniences of life and elevate the condition of the laboring meases. If a mowing machine, for example, deprives ten men, for a time, of a particular kind of employment, itclieepena theooet of bread to thousands. Justin proportion as food and clothing are cheapened by diminished cost of production, la the laborer enabled to get better food and wear better olothee. And the more we oan 00m pel the mechanical forces of nature to aid us in producing what we need, the more la labor elevated and the drudgery of It reduced. It la a mlatake to auppoae that by labor saving machinery the amount of work to be done is lessened. That la not true. Men live better and their increased wsnts keep up the amount of labor required to the maximum. Suppoae all the railroada were blotted out of existence all transportation would then have to be done by teama and wagona. But would that lnorease the number of men employed in this line of industry Not at all. It would be more likely to diminlah It. But travel would be practically auapended and the commerce of the country utterly stagnated. In a word, the comfort and happiness of men would be infinitely diminished.

her glory yet. The proeent trouble la only temporary. As we have often suggested, then! la a surplusage of laborers in the dtiee and towna. The latter have grown faster than the country. There la an abnormal development. There mnat be an exodus of labor from city to country. Thla is going on and baa been for some time past. By and bye the equilibrium will be reetored and we will enter upon anew era of proeperity and it will be more aplendid than that of the nast.' ?,

A 80CIAL OUTRAGE.

There la one feature of modern weddinga that needs reforming about as much aa anything we know of and that ia the impoaition which la practiced in the matter of making presents. Thla abuse has resched such proportion# that it haa come to be a aerioua tax upon many personsu Everyone who attends a wedding now-a-daya la expected—nay, required—to bring a present with him suited to the occasion and which he procure* at no trifling outlay. In many lee the guest would much rather stay away than make an expenditure that he can ill afford, but hia relations with the parties will not permlt him to do ao, nor can he think of going without canning with him the cuatomiary present. The result!*, he buys the gift, (f) grinds hia teeth and bopee there will not be {another marriage in .hia town for a century. Preeently another friend geta married and he goes through the aame performance and the thing keeps on until, as we have said, the draft on hia^ puree amounta to a systematic tax which he peya on eompulrion. Now if thia ia not a aoeial outrage what la It It la a beautiful and appropriate cudom run to aeed. When two young persona get married It la a fitting oocasion certainly for their friends and relativeeto manifeet their good will and wiahea by preaenting the happy couple with suitable gifts. So long aa these gifts are free and flow voluntarily from the hearta of the given it ia very- good and pleaaant. Such waa the ease at first and euch gi.fri the recipients might well prizp. But what man or woman of apirit and right feellnga would Care to receive a gift at audi a tHne which came grudgingly from thehand of the giver and Was brought,not from love or1- friendship, bit ftoilfci compulsion of an iron eocUl auctom! The very idea is horrible, And ystit is done every day$n4 it! every aBodem wedding. For of everybody concerned, this can not be too eoon broken up, and the way to break It up la for the partiea to the marriage to make it dlatbwtly understood that no presents are expected. Such a oouree would not prevent thoee who really desired to bring presents, while it would leave others free not to do ao—thua reetoring thecuatom to what it originally waa and what itoupbt still tot*.

FIFTY-SEW yeara ago tbe firat lodge •f Maaona waa organised in this city. Yeeterday the event waa celebrated, and right royally waa It done. The etreet deooratlona almoet equalled that of the Fourth. In one inatance It excelled. That waa a beautiful arch of green leavee acroaa Main etreet at the intersection of Sixth. Early in the morning the Maaona of the aurroundlng country, with their wivea and families began arriving. Hundreds of persona took advantage of the excursion ratee on the roads, ao that by noon the atreeta were thronged. A lunch, that looked more like a banqqet, waa epread in the Market,Houae for the visiting brethren, their wivea and daughters. Tbeiproceesion in the afternoon waa large and imposing—near one tbouaand Maaona being in lino—the largeet proceesion of any aecretorder ever seen on our atrteta.

At the Opera Houae Grand Master Van Valaah called the assemblage to order in a few neatly worded remarka. After prayer by Rev. S. M. Stlmson, the Oratorio Society eang in an Impressive manner a masonic ode of eeveu stanras, written by Judge Long. Then Hon* W. K. Edwards read a complete and intereating history of the order in this city, and Rev. Tbomaa R. Austin followed with an addrsaa on "The Universality, Harmony and Charity of Masonry.1* The intereattng exercieea of the day were closed with a reception held by Grand Master Tan Tahuh at Armory Hall, which waa a pleasant eodal gathering. The Intenae heat cauaed much dieoomJOrt, and kept many of the brotherhood out of the proceesion, bnt altogether the fraternity have reaaon to be proud of the manner in which this fifty-ninth anniversary waa celebrated.

OLD PAPERS.

We have for eale at thia office aevdral hundred old newspapers. They are all straight and clean, and of a reapeotable and, In aome oaaee, even awe inspiring size. They are highly moral paper* at that—many of them religioua, in fisct. Theyare done np in handaomo packages of one hundred each, and we eell them to partlee who know how to appreciate a good thing at fifty oenta a hundred. Thia la dirt cheap but money ie coerce, and we have determined to break npthe monotony of dull tlmee and etart the wheels of commerce. Beddac their excellence for reading purpoeee, tlnee papers are aplendid for wrapping thinge up in. For putting on pantry and doeet ehelvee they can. ecarcely be equaled, while for lining drawers, modmn teris has been utterly unable to dieoever anything at all npprooehing them. Placed under carpete thay are a marvel and a blaming. They make a room oool in summer, and wahn In winter. They give to the commoneet rag carpet all the luxurious appearance of a body Birnaaela, while a cheap ingrain is made to appear far euperior to the coctUed and moet elegant tapeetry or vdvafc. And then, wherever theae papers are laid down under a carpet, rata, roaehaa, and every spsdea of vermin, Instantly vaoate the bouae never to return We do not expect the present stock ol papem to laat long, and our IriendS fWbo are desirous of aecuring a few hundred, will do well to call early.
