Blessed be the hand which prepares a pleasure for a child, for there is no saying where and when it may again bloom forth. Does not almost everybody remember some kind-hearted man who showed him a kindness in the quiet days of his childhood ? The writer of this recollects himself at this moment as a barefooted lad standing at the wooden fence of a poor little garden in his native village. With longing eyes he gazed on the flowers which were blooming there quietly in the brightness of a Sunday morning. The pos sessor of the garden came forth from his lit tle cottage. He was a woodcutter by trade, and 3pcnt the whole week at his work in the woods. He was coming intohis garden to gather a flower to stick iuto his coat when he went tq church. He saw the boy,".and breaking off the most beautiful of his carna tions it was streaked with red and white gave it to birar Neither the giver nor receiver spoke one word, and with bouaGiog steps we ran tome ; and now, here, at a yast distance lrom that home, after so many years, the feeling of gratitude which agitated the breast of that boy expresses itself on paper. The carnation has long since withered, but it now blooms afresh. Douglass Jerrold. Read, on our third page, the lines from Byron to his half sister, Mrs. Leigh, which will bo found as full ol music and of beauty as ever. They are particularly i intercstin g just at this time when Harriet Beecher Stowe, forgetting all that is pue to herself and to others, pollutes the literary -wortd by the gros3 and indecent .charfgsr which she has made against the memory pf the great poet. These charges may, or may not, be true but they will be looked upon as libels by the world at large until they are authenticated by something more than the bare assertion of Mrs. Stowe. Special Magistrate's Court. Yester day the Captain and Mate of the Barque John A. Bishop were carried before Justice McQuigg to stand trial on the charge of having committed, on the day previous, an assault and battery on the person of Rich aid Jones, a seaman on the above mentioned vessel. The testimony given at the trial pronounced the assault and battery a mere affray, into which the sailor had entered, though reluctantly ; and the "Squire" fined the Captain one dollar, the Mate five dol lars, and the sailor a similar amount. Each was required to bear his portion of the costs of the suit. The committee oi Arrangements for the Citizens Ball, which is to be given at City Hall on Thursday, October 9th, 1869, will meet on Monday, at 2 o'clock P.

Completion of the Bridges. Yester day, the first train was run from this city to Riverside over the new bridge and a tew gentlemen hastily collected, but with no formal invitation accompanied the train. The following officers of the various Roads were present; Hon. R. R. Bridges, President, Col. S. L. Fremont Superinrenlent, Mr Thompson, Treasurer, Mr. Poisson Ticket. agent, Mr. Parker, Road Master and Mr. Di vine of the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad; J. J. Alexander Esq. Treasurer and Mr. Allen, Master of Transportation, Wilmington Charlotte and Rutherford Kauroaa. Among tne passengers we no ticed Gen. Ransom, Capt. Jarvis, Messrs. Short, Grafflin, of Baltimore, Collahan, Con tractor ot Charleston Road, Bailey, Van Bokkellen, Capt. Jones and others. The party started in high spirits and after a short delay at the junction with the Char lotte track, on laying the last rail the party went on to the bridge. Here we were joined by Mr. Bollman, the contractor ana n:s irienas, tne signal was given, and the splendid Engine, "Bridges" j passed rapidly over the first bridge. Wo then had two miles of track laid on trestle work to the bridge over the North West branch of the river which was crossed in safety. The train then started for River side. An amusing incident occurred on the track. It seems that some planter had erected a rail fence across the track. The engineer saw it too late to stop and there fore put on steam and scattered the feuce rails in every direction. Some of the pas-; sengcrs, seeing the rails, rushed for the rear of the car with all speed, amid the laughter ot.the rail road officials who stood fire with the bravery of veterans. After visiting River side, the party returned to the river where a halt was, made to inspect the bridge, and witness the working of the draw, : which was indeed the perfection of mechanism. The Wilmington Railway Bridge Compa ny was organized in 1866. It is a separate stock company, the stock having been sub scribed by the Rail Road's running to this city. , , . " f .;; The following are the: present officers. R. R. Bridgers, President. B. D. Wallace, Treasurer.! i W. H.- McDowell, Superintendent. W. Bollman, Contractor. ' '. The con tract! was made in November of that year, and the work is now done, in spite of the most stupendous difficulties an4 unforeseen accidents. j The bridge over the North West river consists of one 217 foot span with a draw of 150 feet. The North East has a draw of 150 feet, one span ot 160i feet and two of 144i feet each. The frame work is of iron, and stands on iron cylinders. The work cost over halt a million of dollars. The draw over the North West weighs 170 tons,; but a boy 14 years of age opened it in the presence of the party, with apparent ease. The cylinder that it rests on was sunk 68 feet below the water line to find a substan tial bottom, and in fact,' much of the trestle, work required 60 foot piling. Great credit is due to the officers of this! company, for their untiring energy and de termination, for had they but ordinary per severance, they would have abandoned this work in disgust. There will be no change in the depots at present. The Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford Railroad will use their old one, as will the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad. We understand the Wilmington & Manches ter Railroad will run their track into the Weldon depot. The party returned j delighted with the beauty and strength of the bridges, as well as the courtesy and attention of President Bridgers, and his worthy Superintendent, Col. Fremont. The party returned at about 3 o'clock, with good appetites for dinner and with the knowledge that theirs had been the first train over? the new bridgy. May thero be many more, equally pleasaf add safe. ; , - Holiness and Humility. Holiness an! humility are inseparably connected. tJ morl uearer tne soui cpmes to uoa, tne mo completely it is humbled, subdued and ovei powered. It was when Job heard the voic of the Lord out of the whirlwind that h exclaimed. "I abhor myself, and repent i t dust and ashes." When the "still smalL,, voice" of God spake to the exiled prophet in his cave, he wrapped his blushing face in his mantle, and his whole being bowed be fore the Divine presence and power. It was when the evangelical prophet Isaiah saw the glory of the Lord, and heard the six-winged seraphim crying one to another, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts," that he cried out ; "Woe is me, for I am undone." It was after Paul had been caught up into the third heaven that he said of himself that he was uThe least of all the saints." And it was the beloved dieiple whose head had leaned on the breast of Jesus, and who had beheld his glory in apocalyptic vision, whose meek, childlike spirit has been the admiration of all ages. Thus it is with ev ery sdnt on earth, and it is so with every glorified spirit in heaven. The higher the soul rises in holiness, the deeper it sinks in humility and self-abasement. So sings Montgomery : "The bird that soars on1 the highest wing, Builds on the ground her lowly nest; i And she that doth most sweetly sing, aings m tne Bnaae, wncn aa things rest : In lark and nightingale we sec What honor hath humility. 'The saint that . wears . heaven's britrhtest crown, ; j In lowliest adoration bends : ! The weight of glory bows him down The most, when most his soul ascends : ' Nearest the throne itself must be The footstool of humility." i -- : Exchange. 1 A Family BANSER.--An eminent physi cian, in Hearth and Some, tells the follow ing excellent story for trw benefit ot young mothers. He says : , An intelligent young - w w w1 : w - & mother inquired some days since how she various crimes, such asmurder, arson, horse could best preserve her child's linen clean stealing, &c, is taken from the Newbern and sweet when changed frequently during the day. I directed her never to dry it by the fire, but in the sun and open air if the weather permitted. Yen thus not only avoid saturating the air of your rooms with the volatile and poisonous gases dri ven out of the! linen, but the sun's rays have powers '6T cleansing and disinfecting that artificial v mi heat has not, and will, purity ac4 preserve the linen. She followed my directions, but as is too often the practice, dried and aired ;i- l it iu the husband rPmonstratpd in vain ";nRt thU unseemly exposure. Believing that if she saw her practise as others saw it, she would desist, he so directed their walk as to bring . - s A . . - the nursery-window into full view lrom cMuirai puTb-tu lue iown. ocopping aompv ly, he pointed to the offending linen flapping' consuicuouslv in the breeze, and asked sar- casticaily : , ,43Iy dear, what is that display ed from our window ?" "Why," she proud ly replied, Hh&t is the flag ot our union!" 7 Conquered with this pungentretort, he sa luted the flag with a swing of his liatj and pressing his wife's arm closer within his own, said, as they walked homeward, "And long may it wave."

HEALTH, and they cannot be enjoyed without it And yet how little is it valued, and how carelessly pre served. The laws of nature cannot be violated with impunity. Night revelry, luxurious living, Irresrdarity oi meals, and a disordered appetite, will gradually destroy the power and activity of 1 the stomach. : now many ladies ana gentlemen eat and drink disease at late suppers, and arise' in the morning wit headache, loss of appetite, feeling langoia and unrefreshed.

The Golds boro1 Messenger says it has there "the finest Court House in the State, the Bar having been lately rebuilt &c." Look out neighbor, for "contempt of Court" for speaking in that way. The TarboraStfuf Turner says : A recent visit to Granville disclosed a most distress ing state of affairs anions the farming inter ests of that County. For nearly three months scarcely a drop of rain has fallen and as a consequence it is expectea that the corn crop will prove an entire failure. Whole fields have withered and burnt up and it looks as if a spark of fl e would set the yellow dired stalks in a r w perfect blaze. The tobacco crops are also suffering very much, though not to the same extent as the Corn. . The farmers in this section have certainly great cause of thanksgiving for thej excel lent season thus far.
