Mills, Supt. Keams’s Blacking.—Since noticing this pro duct of North CaVolina enterprise some weeks ago, we have been using the article, dan are prepared to say, emphatically, that it is the Ixjst shoe polish we liavc ever used. Merchants buying for retail would do well to givo Mes srs. Kearns &Go. orders, and we arc sure their customers will be well pleased with it. Commendable S c h e m e.—A number of ladies iii and around Chape! Hill liave taken steps to raise nrnds for the support of poor and infirm females. The circular exj)!aining tlie plan, &c., may be found in another column, and we commend it to the pem- sal and consideration of our read- , Concluded.—The April num- of “Our Living and Oar Lead” contains the conclusion of the Criticism on Tennyson by our talented fellow citizen, T. B. Kingsbury, Esq. This aeries of papers exhibits gi'eat literary ability and laborious roseai’ch, and are equal to any thing of the khid ill the, jiopuiar magazines of tlie day. d’he claims of this Mag azine, of which Mr. Kingsbury is associate editor, present tliem- selvos, on the ground of merit, to tile reading public generally, and especially to our omi State, as being in a higli degree creditable to our home literature. , New,Verb.—Anoxcliange says, “{lie fire-flies are beglimiiig to picturesque tiio evening.” We didn't know before that that was what the lightning bugs were do ing when they were shining about at nigl’.t. (!)—Rev. T. OoWitt Talma-ge, in one of liis characteristic jiara- graphs, says, “man is not natur ally lazy.” He forms his opinion perhaps from tlie liurrying crowds ■ on the streets of New York City, who, as the Dutchman said, “ go about de stlireets all day sheating each odor and call that bizziness.” If called upon to decide as to the correctness of his declaration on the subject we should be bound to say, “the court doubts.” It is a good plan for neivspa- per publishers to put “POETRY” at the head of certain original ar ticles in their papers, as, other wise we might not suspect said articles of being what they pur port to bo. A Remarkable WOman.—Dan iel Boone has a first cousin living i» Caldwell county—Mrs. Jemi ma Setzer—now in her 95th year, and she can sew, knit, spin flax, go to mill and milk the cows. She rises at 5 the year round, smokes her pipe three times every day and drinks strong coffee at each meal; has never had a dust of snuff in her mouth, and there is not a decayed tooth in her head. She belongs to the Bap tist church, and walks three miles to preaching two Sundays in ev ery montli. She was never sick but two hours ill her wfoole life, and that was caused by eating a cucumber.—lijcehange. An exchange mentions a ease beyond the ordinary oculists. It is ■ tliat of a young lady w'ho, in stead of a common pupil, has a eoilqgo student in her eye. For tlm Ciiildrcii’s Friend. This morn, kopo lield k-efom niinoovo aciip IKitjmiing v.itli bliss; but, ere niy lip coiibl sup, 'Twas dashed to earth. I knew kwas for niy good, Yet gave no thanks, but sought in prayciicss mood, Forgcifulue.st!. Bo soitow was unblpst, And day, u-ll darkened, dragged toward, the west. At noon, a beggar came unto my door, ‘•'Bll give him alms, so charity shall pour Odor of sanctity upon the day.” And saying so^I gave. Hy wnt his way; Coinplacontly I sat me down t« think :— Self righteousness had made the ointment stink. At twilight hour, in evening’s fading beam, I kneeled to pray; but while i knelt, a dream Of earth swept through my heart, on gorgeous wing, And when I rose I knew an unclean thing Had touched my soul; and so its very prayer, And all my holy things polluted weix). So gazing still on evening’s ruddy sheen, With hand «)» lip, I cry, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’ 0 Thou, whose blood ctiu cleanse each guilty spot, Out of Thy book my doei) transgressions blot; Shed on my soul Thine all-atoning grace, And make me pure that I may see Thy face. F.ay A^'or. WSiere 'iilliJsUfi iv«.s Fed. The Sahhaih School IForki! has a Ion letter from a gcnfloman travelingiii Palestine, describing ajourncy north-ea!»t from Jerusa lem. We extract the 'poition which tells about the hiding-place of the great prophet: One of the most interesting points connected with this Journey is the view it affords of “tlni i'l’ook Oheiith,” where the prophet Elijah was fed by ravens while the famine raged through the coast of Israel, as we read in 1 Kings 17 : 1—7. I had always pictured to myself a solitary, shady glen as the scene of that r-oinarkable incident in the prophet’s experience. Then my fancy lias been wont to locate the man of God in liis hmeliness,' seated beneath some sheltering tree, on the pleasant h'ank ofsomc mr.rniuriiig brook. But how ditfei-ent from all this was the actual reality as verilied hy the scene ijcre presented! hi the very wildest part of this wild region is a deep mountain gorge. On the opposite side of the gorge from where we stood, the mommtain rose up almost perpendicularly for hundreds of feet. We nppi'oaohod the edge ef the ravine and looked domj. AVhat a^scenc is there presented to the eye! Hugged, grand, gloomy, awful, it seemed like a fit hiding-place for such a pri phet as Elijah, and must have been in striking harmony with the majestic sternness of his character. It was enough to make one’s head dizzy to gaze down that appalling mountain chasm. The sides are almost sheer precipices of naked rock, occasionally picn-ced hy grottoes, apparently inaccessible to any thing except the eagles that Tiover around them. And tar down p.t the bottom of tins ravine is a little thread of gi’cen skirting along where the brook flows by. And there it was that Elijah was hidden, while Ahab in liis rage was seeking him through all the coasts of Israel, and among all the neighboring nations. A Beautiful Thought.—AVhentho sum mer of youth is slowly wasting away in the nightfall of age, and the shadow of the path becomes deeper, and life wears to its close, it is pleasant to^ look through the vista of time upon the sorrows and felicities of our early years. If we have a home to shelter and hearts to rejoice with us,and friends have been gathered around our fireside, then the rough iilaees of wayfaring will have been worn ami smoothed away iu the twilight of life, and many dark spots wo have passed through ■will gi’OW' brighter and more beau tiful. Happy, indeed, are those .whoso inter course with the wunid hirs not changed the tone of their holier feelings, or broken those musical chords of the heart w'hosc vibrations are so melodious, so tender and so touching in the evening of their life. Daddyism.—Kate Ficdd tells of an Eastern- man W'ho was commending the services of a young Philadelphian to a Chicago merchant. “He comes of a very good family. Ilis grandfather w'as a very distinguished man,” said the Eastoiuier. “Was he V’ replied Chi cago. “That’s of no account with us. There’s less daddyism here than in any part of th United States. AVhat’s he himself?” Miss Field thinks “daddyism” is an inspiration and ought to go into the coming dictionary of Amcricaiilsius. For the Children’s Friend.

A lady friend sends us the fol lowing, which heads a subscrip tion of $35.00, raised by citizens of Chapel Hill. The donors and amounts subscribed by each tvill be found under the pro2)er head : Whereas, Mr. Mills, the excel lent and indefatigable Sujierin- tendent of the Orphan Asylum at Oxford, has lately felt constrain ed to refuse the sum of five liiin- dred dollars as a gift to the Asy- Ikiii, because he could not think the money had been made in an honorable way, it seems to be the duty of all who apjilaud such high toned jirinciples of action to sustain him more heartily than before in his work for the orphans, and we, the citizens of Chapel Hill, hereby tender the sums af fixed to our names in token of of our ap^iroval and respect, and desire that he shall lose nothing by his course.

Built of smoke—Tho vulgar ]>hrase, “saved his bacon, ” might take for ,ne of its meanings “he made money by leaving off smoking.” A man who lives in Albany, and whose business was that of a clerk, said that he had lately built a house th.at cost him three thous and dollars. His trionds expressed their won der that liC eoiihl afford to fn'tiid so fine a dwelling. “Why,” said lie, “this is my smoko house.” “Your smoke house! what do you mean?” “Why, I mean that iwenly years ego I left- oft’ smoking, and I computed that what I saved \nth interest would amount to three thousand dollars, and ciinclnded to put the money saved from smoke into my house; hence I call this my smoke house. Tho same rule will apply to many other useless luxuries which only perish in the using, instead of real and substantial benefits and comTorts. A little more 'figuring at compound interest would perhajisbc of much utility. iS-csoSscSioats of the CSrasatfi Ihodge. Adopted Dec 3d, 1872. llesolved, 1.
