Pool, at one time a res ident of Granville county, died at his home in Rockingham county, on the 24 ult., aged about 65 years. A negro emigrated from North Carolina, and went to Pennsylvania, as if on purpose to get into the Penitentiary. He might have en joyed that privilege at home. W a have a few more of the same sort left. The Queen of Italy has a Noapoli tan physician who is always in atten dance, and sits at the royal table to prevent H^- Majesty from eating un wholesome things. Down deep in every humnn heart there reposes a desire for superiority- a wish to attain the highest possible eminence.. This praiseworthy ambi tion can be realized only by intense application to present work. The original deed of the town of Southold, L. I,, from the Indians, da ted March 21, 1648, has been deposi ted in the library ol the Long Island Historical Society. The consideration in the deed is one iron pot, six coats, ten knives, and twenty needles, with twenty fathoms of wampum.

Love the Scriptures, will love thee.—Jerome. and wisdom JNO. T. WHITKHURST. J. FRANK Iir.NXKR. Holiness is not to be measured by perfect joy, but by perfect resigna tion.—Mrs. Fletcher. Put self last. Take little annoyances out of the way- Wlien others are suffering, drop a word of sympathy. Tell your own faults rather than those of others Hide your own troubles, but watch to help others out of theirs. Never interrupt any conversa tion; wait patiently your own turn to speak. Take hold of the knob and shut every door behind you with out slamming it. Carefully^ clean the mud and snow from your boots before en* tering the house. Look for beauty in everything and take a cheerful view of every event. If from any cause you feel ir*» ritable, try the harder to do the little pleasant thing. Do not keep your good man ners for company, but be equally polite at home and abroad. When inclined to give an an gry answer press your lips to gether and say the alphabet. Always speak politely au'di kindly to your help, if. you would have them to do the same to you. Whitetiurst & Hunter, DOORS AND BLINDS, PAIN’I'S, OILS, GLASS, PUTTY, AO..

Judge J. M. Cloud, late of the Superior Court bench, and widely known throughout the State, died on the cars while the train was stopping a!. Charlotte a few days age. Judge C. had been to Florida aad was returning home, but was taken sick, and although physicians were summoned, he was beyond the rewfii of mortal aid. A young man of Pittsburg, Pa, claims to have invented a pneumatic railway signal which will prove a pos tive preventive of railroad accidents. He has applied for letters patent.

Leave to morrow to the Lord. could have parsed each other, and could have gone about theii business, but the wolf grpwled : •‘Ho, there! Out of ray pathP' ■“You are no better r.or bigger than I am,^’ was the hyena’s re- ply- ‘•This is my path!” •‘No, ’tis mine!” Thus they quarrelled, each de termined not to give way; and in the fight that followed both roll ed over the bank, and were bad ly injured. They were still fight ing when a lion came along and cuffed them apart, remarking ; '“That path belongs to me alone.” Dr. Lyman Bee*cher otce attended a ministers’ meeting, wlere he gave a report of one of his most famous ser mons. A young minister, after listen ing spellbound to the original heads, apt illustrations, and noting the great force and beauty of the whole die course, inquired of the doctor how long it took him to prepare that ser mon. “A whole lifetime,” was his la conic reply. (j /The State of Georgia has made a curious and suggestive contribution to the vocabulary of the English lan guage. Webster’s dictionary gives the definition of the word “bogus”— “spurious; a cant term, originally ap plied to counterfeit coin, and hence denoting anything counterteit (Amer ican).” The word is of Georgia origin, 'vViiiiam A. Bogus was a Georgia Laud Lottery Commissioner years ago, caught in rascality in connection with his office. He was an issuer ot fraudulent laud rights. It was curi ous that this obscure Georgian scamp should have furnished oiir vernacular with a genuine name for everything spurious and false. Jehovah, Jesus, our Shepherd, careth for his feeble as well as for his sti-ong ones, with all the sympathies of our nature and all the power of Deity. It is a great deal better to live holy than to talk about it, We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won’t need to tell anybody that it does. The light will be its o-wn wit- Our lives are like some complicated machinery, working on one side of a wall, and delivering the finished fab ric on the other. We cannot cross the barrier and see the end. The work is in our hands.—the completion is not, We never know through what di vine mysteries of compensation the igreat Father of the universe may be carrying out his sublime plan ; and those three words, “God is Love,” ought to contain, to every doubting Houl, the solution of all things.—Miss Mulock.
