Tho darling Katie, potted child —
The little tnio •*!» not
Thy Father called her t(» liiin.self—
Thou cansl nut know In’ what.
Thy precious Katie is not dead^
She lires high uj) in heaven,
And sweeps her tiny Sngers o’er
The harp that God luith givhi.
No tear shall ever dim ,her eye ;
No pain shall heave her breast,
But in tho household of our God,
8he shall seenrely rest !
An angel band witii .shining wing
Came for tho precious child .-
AVhilo gazing in her sweet young face
They must have softly smiled.
Then gathering up the woo, wee one,
AVbo was as fair a.s tliey,
They flitted thro’ tho ether blue,
Away ! away ! away !
N'lw, huid the angel hosts tliut throng
The gilded courts of heavhi,
Aud with immoiial hands atliuio
The harps that God hath glv’n,
There is no sweeter, fairer face
Than darling Katie’s there;
No richer voice, no sweeter tone
Sounds thro’ the ambient air.
And o’er tho parapet of heaven,
AVe fancy Katie peeps,
To see if grandma and grandpa
Arc climbiLig up the steeps.
Are coming up to find her there
Ainovig the angel bainl,
She’s looking out for pa and ma
And Charlie—in that laud.
Dear friends, although thy bursting hearts
Sigh for this treasured one,
And tho’ thy once glad home is now
So sad, so still, So luue;
Although tliroiighoiit tlie W’oary day
Her baby Yuico is missed.
And when the night comes on, thy cheeks
Are tear-‘dcvVed aud unkissc'l,
Forget all this and look to heav’n,
Thy loved ones join that throng,
AVho fill tile highest courts above,
With sweet redemption’s song.

It-is po.ssihle to land in Persia
within a fintiiight after leaving-
London, and conseqently within
twenty-tliree or twentv-four days
iifter leaving New York. “The
simplest, quickest, and best route
is by Fiizali, though it is not the;
most interesting. Those who
fol
low
the
adopt it abandon the Dantibe
and Blach Sea for the A’olga and.
Ca.sjiian; Erzerinn or 'Litiis
Armenia or Georgiti for the
forests of Gilan. It is only
this ])iirtiouhir route that
fort niglit can be made to siiffio
for the journey from London to a
Persian seaport, or vicevena.
Yet, in sjtitu of rnodern improve
ments and progress, of steamers
and locomotives, Persia itself has
undergone but little apparent
change. 'Phere, the old fashion
charpar or taipar traveling re
mains as before; wliile, at tho
several caravanserais and post-
Itoitses, ninch the tho same figur
es as of old present themselves to
the stranger—clothed in tlie
same dress, reared in tho same
convictions, uttering the same
sentiments.”

Correspondents so often ask
what the Legislature lias done for
tho orphans, that we fiitd it neces
sary to keep a standing answer to
the anqtiiiy. The Constitiition ol
North Carolina says :
‘There shall also, as soon as
practicable, be measures devised
h\- the State for the establishinent
of one or more Orplian Ilou.ses,
where destitute orphans may he
cared for, educated and tauglit
some business or trade.’
Et’ery member of the Legisla
ture, before takiny his seat, sol
eninh' swears, “tha‘ lie will sup
port the Constitfit'ion and laws f
the United States, and the Consti
tution of the State of North Ctiro :
lina, and will faithfully dischtirge
liis dutr' as a member of the Sen-;
ate, or House of Representatives.”
Both political parties have been
in power since the present Con
stitution was adopted, and the
only a])propriation made to the
orphan work wa-s tlie gift of the
crajio used tit the funertil of Gov-
enor Caldwell. 10-tf.
