And nevr hearts more proudly j t

But ties that we t an not forget " '
Bring tears to roatty a wanly eye.
We do not weep with human fears,
With sense of danger, dark and dread ;
The foe shall never see the tears
That fall upon a sister's head;
Behind the cottage dour, when love
Stands wailing for the parting kiss
'Tis tiiere ibe deepest pang dr pnve,
Where firsi He found the sweetest bliss.
Ah ! thither, when in fields of strife,
Onr hearts in fancy attll stiall fly,
There still, when struggiiig wiio for life,
fehall elinj. each fondest memory ;
Perchance, even then, 6ome earnest prayer
Shall crown with peace our parting b.eath,
And still the siih of heart most dear,
Shall bless the spirit freed bydenih.

work of an instant to seize the corner, and
exclaim-" Here it is. eir. you needn't

A Good Rebuke.
The P lisourg American t- lis the follow,
ing vcrv good story, and we dare say it is
h true me :
Judge R. hud agreed to an arrangement
lor marrtng his daughter to a blacksmith.
His son who entertained ideas uioreeleva
ted than any of his ancestors, and was
somewhat haughtVj 'withal, when this as- i
"titjding information first reached him
sought an immediate interview with his
father, whom he found in company with
-eyeral others.
Sir, said he to his lather 4ifc that true
winch I hear, that you intend to marry
nv sister to a blacksmi h?
'And pray who are you sir; and who were
our ancestors?
Thai, sir, replied ihe son, I should ex
pect to learn from you.
Oh you Khali be gratified; your grand
father were both weaveis; and then, to
the infinite enjoy o en' ot the son, he amused
him and the company with anecdotes of
their exploits on the loom.
Poverty.
U poverty a c ooe? Certainly it must
he sol for we see the rich rascal courted,
his offence forgotten while the poor man,
with noRtain upon his character but pover
ty. is shunned and of no repute. There
is a redeeming grace in gold which hides
tll tniqiufy As t'e gold leaf applied to
th" pustules of the small pox prevents their
ieaving a pit; so does the same gold in the
shape of a current coin, restore the woun
ded reputation, leaving not a scar behind.
Another Cotton Factory.
I. is wtth pleasute we announce to the
public that a Cotton Factory has been es
tabtished m this county uider the name of
me atawba Manufacturing Company and
is now in successful operation. We re
joice that our county is not far behind some
of her sisters in the spirit of improvement.
This Factory has been etecied on the Ca
tawba River about 8 miles west from Char
lotte, and is owned by Messrs- ii. B. Wil
liams and Peter M. Brown of this town,
and Geo. W. II. Nee!, of this county.
We understand that it is the opinion of
those who have seen the machinery in op
ration that it is equal to any in the State,
and that the yarn is admired by all who
have examined it. This is another evi
dence that men of capital consider cotton
manufacturing a safe investment Th- re
is tiv doubt that in a few years North ar
lina will become a manufacturing State.
And why should she not ? VV e hae eve
ry advantage labor is cheaper than at the
North; living is cheaper, the raw material
I raised at our door and we have water
powet eqnal to any section, and all that is
warned is a few enterprising individuals
a' capital to make Norm Carolina eqnal
if no strrior u any State in the Union.
