Gabriel Johnson in 1736 spok of the factions, the ignorance of the commissioners- of this State. As late as 1752 there were only 20,000 whites In North Carolina and 10,000 slave and free negroes. Slavery aid not use here as fiercely as in either Sonth Car olina or Virginia The early taxes were very high. The mothers of illegitimate child ren were sent to jail until they would betray the fatherhood, and the father must either give security to take of the child or he was hired out at auction No exemptiou was made for ministers of the go?pel trespas sing in this respect. Another decided event was the arrival of the Scotch Jacobities. But the great fact of this State was not any settle ment from the east whatever, but the settlement 'from tle western part of the State fro a wbolly different " aourc North Carolina had eolanguisT: ed that all its healthy hig western districts were -unocc pied. There slowly crept fn the rear of the seacost denizens of vigorous scotch, Irish and occasionally German elements including Moravians from proli fic Pennsylvania, TLes-e people multiphying fast and knowiug good land when they saw it, rapidly overran W.- tern Mary land, came down y..x: Virginia valley and took up tbo good farms and following the Blue Ridge mountain began to fill up western North Carolina. They were in the main Presbyterians though some other elements were attached to them, such as Lutherns. There were also German Baptise elements in the combination. These were the people who Betted the vgorous towns like Char lotte, Salisbury etc. Finally North Carolina was tat-n away from its proprietors and made a royal providence, which was a great advantage' though it ctired up some opposition.

A kind hand is deaf and dumb. It may be rough hi flesh and blood, yet do the work of a soft heart, and do it with a soft touch. But there is no one thing that love so much needs as a sweet voice to tell what it means and feels, and it ia hard. to get and keep it in the right tone. One must start in youth and be on the watch night and day, at work, at play, to get and keep a voice that shall epeak at all times the thought of a kind heart. I would say to all the boys and girls : "Use a kind voice at home." Watch it day by day as a pearl of great price, for is will be worth to you in days to come more than the best pearls hid in the sea.
