I sometimes take one in my hand,' forgetting till t see - It is a little, half -worn shoe, and much too small forme; And all at once I feel a sense of bitter loss and pain. And sharp as when a year ago, it cut my heart in twain. Oh, little feet, that weary not, I wait for them no more, .- - - For I am drifting on the tide, and they have reached the shore ; : And while the blinding tear-drop9 wet these little " shoes so old, I try to think my darling's feet are treading streets of gold: And then I lay. them down again, but always turn I. and say, , . ; God" bless the little feet that now surely cannot stray And while I thus am stamping I almost seem to see The little form beside me, just as it used to be ; The little face uplifted with its soft and tender eyes. Ah, me! I might have known that look was born for Paradise. I reach my arms' out fondly, but they clasp the empty air, For there s nothing of my darling but the shoes he used to wear. Oh, the bitterness of parting cannot be done away, Until I meet my darling where his feet can never stray ; When I no more am drifted upon the surging tide, But with him safely landed upon the river side. Be patient, heart I while waiting to see the shining way. For the little feet in the shining street can never go astray. SPRING GOODS. Come and see our new stock of all kinds of Goods.

E. II. WOODS, Superintendent. Charlotte, N. C, J une 17, 1S73 tf Beautifying Farms. ', Great progress has been made within the last twenty-five years among the farm ers of the country, not only in making their farms more productive, but in making them more attractive. This, in a large measure, is the result of prosperous farming. , Those who had debts to pay did not feel able to expend much in ornamenting their places; but since they have freed them selves from this burden, they have been more disposed to attend to the appearance of things. There has been, also, an advance in taste. There are not so manv now, as formerly, who decrv all attention to ornament, as a Wastft of flint 1 r il mnnui' rPVio in-n rtf IllOr- ardiy and boorish men is fast., dying Increased intelligence, circulation of - - v. w . .a - a v . x . , . aY a.a L. V ' wav .a - out. agri- cultural learning, the formation of ajiricul tural societies, the infusion of a larger ele ment oteducated and cultivated men into the profession, have had a powerful influ ence in securing more attention to aesthetics of fanning instead of having everything ex pended for mere pecuniary returns. And tills is a great advance. It ennobles the pursuit of the farmer. Man is the creature of taste and not a mere grub; and he who neglects to cultivate and gratify this ele ment in nature, degrades himself. Any one may torm a pretty correct estimate ot the intellectual if not the moral state of his neigh bors, by simply looking over their farms. The one who allows his lands to lie iu a slovenly state, when he lias the means of improving them may be a money-loving, but he will also be a slovenly man, with no elevating instincts. It is a great mistake to suppose that money spent in reasonably improving the appearance of a place is thrown away. It may be doubted whether there is any more direct method of increasing its pecuniary value. Certainly its market value will de pend very much upon its outward - appear ance. Tasteful and well painted buildings, well arranged yards and gardens with neat fences, shade trees properly disposed, good farm fences and cleanly-kept fields, set off a farm to great advantage and make an amazing difference when it comes to be sold; these things will add amazingly to the en joyment of it by its possessors, if ho be not blind to everything but the dollar. Every man, too, owes it to the communi ty iu which he is living.to contribute to the general reputation, and to public j enjoyment, by making all his sur- i rounding as attractive as possible, There is such a thing as paving too O k ml J much atten but there is won to the outside and show ' reason in all things, and a measure ot time reason in all things. i 1 . . 1 1 lit 1 ; aim aiiei.uon ana expense snoum ie oevoi eu oy every one to maKing nis larui ana nis home more and more attractive every year that he lives. 11 ! 11" SSsAn English writer advises young ladies to look favorably upon those engaged in agricultural pursuits, giving as a reason that their mother Eve married a garuener. ! He forgot to add, however, that the gardener j lost his situation in consequence of the match. J3 A lonely pioneer writes as follows from La Corna, Wyoming : "I sincerely wish that many hundreds of old maids ami widows who can not get husbands at home would come out here, where they could speedily get a choice of good, honest, hard working men, who could make them com fortable and independent.

A spot almost as terrible as th prophet! valley of dry bones, lies just north of the. old Mormon road to California, a region 30 miles long by 80 broad, and surrounded, except at two points, by inaccessible moun tains. It is totally devoid of water and vegetation, and the shadow of bird or wild beast never darkens its white glaring sands. The Kansas Pacific railroad engineers dis covered it, and also some papers which show the fate of the "lost Montgomery train," which came south from Salt Lake in 1850 guided by a 3lormcn. v lien near Death's Vallev some came to the conclu sion that the 5lormoniJ knew nothing about j the country, so they appointed one of their number a leaner, and broke off from the party. The leader turned due west; 90 with the people and wagons he traveled three days, and then descended into the broad valley, whose treacherous mirage promised water. They reached the centre, but only the white sand, bounded by scorch' ing peaks met their gaze. Around the val ley they wandered, and one by one tho men died, and the panting flocks stretched themselves in death under the hot sun. Then the children, crying for water died at their mother;' breasts, and with swollen i tongues and burning vitals the mothers I followed. Wagon after wagon was aban doned, and strong men tottered, and raved and died. After a week's wandering, a dozen survivors found some water in th hollow of a rock in the mountain. It lasted but a short time, when all perished but two, who escaped out of the valley and followed the trail of their former companions. Eighty-seven families with hundreds of animals perished here and now, after 22 years, the wagons stand still complete, the. iron work and tires are bright, and the shriveled skeletons lie side bv 6tdo- Sjn'inftfield JlpiLli''n.

His consecrated ambition was gratiticd, and a cage provided for htm, just his height, and with a bottom so nail-studded that his feet should only have suffi cient space between the spikes to rest, with a couple of slight bars in front of his arms, The natives were allowed to prove the genuineness of his imprisonment by locking him iu, and about thirty padlocks made him set;ure, only a little space at the botr torn being open for the admission of air. The poor devotee endured his torture with remarkable fortitude and came out at the end of the designated time not so much the worse for wear. His pulse stood at sixty four, and his skin though hot, was moist.
