The town is located on a beautiful Flat Mountain Ridge 2! miles west from Panbury , about 1 of a mile from the celebrated Piedmont springs; about the same distance to Pepper's Alum spnnfs ; I of a tnile from Smith's Chalybeate spring, and two miles from C. K. Moore's Sulphur spring, while the location presents The Finest Views of Moore's Kuob, the Hanging Rook, and other prouiinont peaks along the Saaratown mountain. The lots are well ooyered with large and small forest trees, wliioh will afford shade in summer and form Beautiful (iroves. The whole is • Surrounded by Springs of the purest mountain water, entitling it to the Indian name, "Camaca," a land of springs, which, together with the pure mountain air, would bring col cr to the faded eheck, and strength to weary frame, even if there was no real mineral water within a hundred miles of the place. The undersigned propose also to ereet a saw-mill, planing machine, Ac., that they may build cottages or furnish lum ber to those who wish to purchase lots In this healthful looality, whero no ma laria ever comes, and a ease of typhoid fever was never known, eieept it was contracted out of the neighborhood. The jrioe of lota this season, 60x100 feet, will be %ib each. For farther particulars addres, N. M. k W. R PEPPKR, Ma; #O, 'BS. Dan bury, *. C. "NOTHING MUCCEEDH LIKE SUCCESS, DANBUIiY, N.

All in tlieir new appirel vie, For Time lull h laid his mantle by. Aunt Rin's Legacy. '•Little llin—that is what I have al ways beard you called. Piay, Miss Blanohford, what is your nauie J" '•1 am named for my dear old fashion ed aunt I>oriuda," she said, addressing Lewald Llewellyn, who had asked the question. "Having two of tho naino in the family, I, the younger, am called Little Km. It isn't a pretty name, or romantic, but very convenient, and so appropriate!" The party were at the Osprcy House, near the South Dowus, in the finest of tho fine summer weather; and, as the young lady spoke, she turned and poin ted to one of the prettiest of the shore cottages. "1 here is my aunt Dorinda's summer house," she said. "Is Mrs. General Bienville your aunt 1" asked Llewellyn with surprise. A moment more and the group had separated, Aubrey Millars taking C.eof- ; frey Tborne by the arm, and leading him off to whisper in his ear : "Mrs. General Bienville is very old —very eccentric—but the richest wo man 1 know . and it Little Lin is her nieco, she must be an heiress, as well as a belle and a beauty." The others ezohanged much the same confidences. Llewellyn alone said nothing, but walked away thinking. He bad often wondered how a girl could be as beautiful as Miss Blanch foid and not be spoiled ; and now it turned out that she was. in perspective rich, he marvelled still more. Certainly Little Rin, with her ac complishments, her lightness and grace, did not seem fitted to be the wife of a poor man. He had better not dream of it. But the beach, with its fiue out look, its free brcer.es, its pleasant nooks, suddenly had lost iu satisfaction. He grew rostless ; there was a gnawing pain at his heart. It amazed him to find that be had hoped. The rnstle of Miss Blanchford's sil ver-gray dross upon the piaxza aroused him. ''lt is very naughty to be idle," said a musical voioe. "Como and take caro of me while I go down to the rocks aud catch some smelts for papa's break fast. She led the way down upon the rocks, merrily talking. "I love to steal awhile away,' don't you?" she quoted. "We have nioe social tiuics here—the boarders are very agreeable ; but it's so deliciously quiet out hero—it rests one." He had baited her hook and put the rod into her hand. He then held a drooping branch of the single tree to shelter her faoe Then he stood and watched the perfect contour of the ro seate cheek and dimpled chin, while she dropped the hook into the water and quietly waited. Suddenly the lovely t-ycf, bluer than the ribbons, looked fnll up. "Hasn't this been a delightful surn mor "It has been to me," he replied. Something flashed from bis gray eyes into her blue ones ; the white lids fell quickly. "But it if past,'' he added after a pause. "I go home to morrow." "I suppose we, too, will go bofore the month is out." "Let me tell you why the lummcr has been so ploasant to me," he said : "be cause the sweetest woman I have ever known baa been so much my compan pauion. And Igo to-morrow, much as I would like to stay, because—let mo say it, for I say it without hope—l love her." One little n.oment til was (till but the clashing of the waters and the shrill cries of tbe soowj wheeling gulls. Then the Hue of the lovely eyes shone out. "Why should you not hope, LcwalJ, when she lovea you ! He knelt down, took the oval faoe be tween hi* trembling band* so that there was no empe for the eyes of blue from his searching gaae. "Does she-love me!" "Dearly." "God bless her !" Tbeu sbo sprung laughing Iroin bis embraoe, for a fish was running off with her rod. "Holp me, Lewald ! help me He ianghed, too, aa be ro glad to be bafpy, Lipeful. "Let me do your fishing, L-llybird, while you sit tbeie, like a queen, and tell we why you love me." "Because 1 trust you, and you suit me." He strung the fi.-b in silence "Ifour father will nevei consent." "My father does not want mo to mar rv poor. Ho likos you, but—you are not riob, Lewald." "No, lam poor,' he Baid bitterly. "So am 1," she answered. The waves daßbed, and tho wheeling whito gulls cried. "But do not despair. If Aunt Corinda forgives papa. I ahsi' he rich." «■ * "1 do not want you rich," ho replied absently his brow corrugated. "You must have me rich if at all." "Lot uie tell you about it. My grand-father was poor, and his children had their fortunes to carve out Do-1 liuda, the eldest, was wonderfully good, I brave, aud capable. She taught school. "Of the boys, who were Undo Ar thur and my father, she made papa ber favorite. She wa-i anxious that he should prepare himself for collage ; she offered to pay, herself, the collegiate ] course. But he did not care for a clas sical education. He agreed, but wast ed his time, took another course and bitterly disappoiuted her. "For twenty years tbey did not meet or eouuuunicato. Meanwhile aunt had married Oeueral Ble ;illo and grown old, and 1 had been born. Though pa pa had not gratified hu sister, ho ad mired and respeotcd ber. He named me lor her. "It is only a few years ago since she drove one day iu ber carriage to call on us and see mo. Then she sent me some lovely dresses, shawls, and jewels. But papa believos that she has never forgiv en him, and 1 do not know." Lewald heard this itory in silence. There was no possible fortune waiting for him. The times were bid, and growiog worse. His importing inter ests had failed ; his daily business as an art dealer was hourly becoming less. His partner's letters were daily more discouraging. His lease of bis store and art gallery only kept him still engaged is business. It had bceu a congenial occupation, but of late had been bitterly unprofitable. He told all this to Mr. Blanchford that evening. "It is a veiy hopeless matter, sir, but I love your daughter none the less." "I will bo frank with you, Mi. Lew ellyn," said Mr. Blanchard. "1 like you, but my Little Rin is not fitted for poverty. To wed her to it would be disastrous. But, siuce she so evidently loves yon, I hope—perhaps in vain—that a legaoy from ber aunt may facilitate matters. "My sister is very old aud faliing, and Little Rin will spend the winter with her as soon as she returus to town." By the last of October all had flown city-ward. Mrs. Bienville's city resi dence was kept quiet during the fall, for she was very feeblo and unable to receive ; but she did not objeat to her niccocutertainiug her friends informal ly. Llewellyn came frequently to the great rich mansion, where rich oarpeu muffled nis sieps to soundlcssucss, and where wonderful pictures haunted his dreams. Aubery Villars came, too. He was well kuown in town, a young man of good family of French extraction, not as wealthy as it had been, but somewhat distinguished. He was handsome aud agreeable, and a', the seaside Little Rin bad enjoyed an idle hour with hiin. Bui now, her heart deofHncd; nil her thoughts another's she eared little for bis visits, and said so to Llewellyn. •'But ho care* for you ; 1 assure yoo he is serious," he lepli'nl, "and baa been sinee yon became exalted in hia ! eyes as tho niece of your »unt. lie ii ' my rival." ! Little Kin laughed incredulously. ! But time proved Lcwellyn's worn* true. Mr. ISUncblord, unstable, and pressed for money, began to coinplaiu to his daughter that she bad not preferred Vil lars. •'Villurs is of better position than Llewellyn, and has more money than the latter will over have— why are vou so foolish as to prefer him'' he said irri tably. "If yeu had a fortuue it would not matter so much, but my family are long-lived ; your aunt may live an in valid for a score of years. Let Llew ellyn go, and marry Villars." Shocked, grieved, distressed, Little tie Rin knew not what u> reply. But then commenced a long, weary struggle. Her faiho* reproached, expostulated in sisted. Kiu, knowing hiru well, tam poriaed, hoping fur better times. The winterpassed. The spring, how ever, WHS equally shrouded iu financial depiession. Mrs. Dorinda pursued the even tenor of her way, novcr asked if her brother were rich or poor. Bhc was polite when they met—nothing more. To llin she was kind aud affec tionate. In the early summer, without special warning, Mrs. Dorinda Bienville died. When Mr. Cuthbert Blanchtord met with tho relatives to hear the will read, he shook like a leaf. Several large bequests to various in stitutions and personal friends, and then. "To my brother Cutlib> rt iad his daughfer Dorinda, 1 bequeath, jointly, tho Latin grammar to be found iu my library " Tho yellow old Latin grammar that she had pressed upon her brother iu his youth when lifo was all before him—it was a bitter satire. Sbo had not forgiven him. Rin's life, too, was spoiled. Must she marry for money ? "Never," she said, and held out bravely; but her boautiful cheeks grew tbiu Iler father's hair becauic whito. He aged fast. And Llewellyn was wretched and helpless as most men in a financial crisis. His business was ruined. At one time be offered Rin her freedom, but she smiled tenderly and shook her head. "Wait," she said. For what» I.lewllyn had a taste for antiquities. The Latin grammar was thirty years old, and one day he asked Rin for the privilege of examining it. She went for it. "It had not been opened," she said. Not for long years, certainly—the yellow leaves broke apart stiffly under bis hand. He turned pale—paler as he continued to turn them. Little Rin came to his side. The volume was filled with bank-notes. Ten thousand pounds were hidden in the book. It was not satire now—but to Cuth bert Blanchford's conscience it was a reproach. But for his wilfulness he need not have needed so sorely the boun ty of a sister. He was happy only in Rin's enjoy ment of it. Throe sweet years as his wife, a wonderful badv son, and then Llewellyn began to hold bis own—tiie tide turned, and today they arc as rich as bappy. WHAT ONtpFARMER DID. Mr. Thomas Wilson, of Hamburg township Jackson county, N. C., went into tho deep forest niue years ago with his axe and his family. To-day be has seventy acres of fine land, cleared and fenced, and which produced large crops of wheal, oats rye, buckwheat, timothy and clover, pola toes, etc. He has a large orchard of apples, pears and peaches now bearing, a comfortable house, a handsome sida bar buggy and a horse, a good bunoh of stock cattle, of which ho sells a few now aud then for cash ; a flock of sheep, aud other stock, and is a thoroughly independeut man. There aro thousands of farmers who have done as much, but so few in this part of the couutry as to make such instances noteworthy. He has some neighbors who are equally good managers, and equally successful, and there is room for thou sands more, who can do as well in all parts of the South if they have the ne cessary energy and porsevcranoe. Yet here, as in the West, a small capital to begin with is a powerful help. Bear this in mind. Tho centennial of the founding of Lynobburg.

This is a gigantic ovil which it crush ing the very life-blood out of the hearta of the toiling sons of the soil, and shed diug its withering and blighting influen ces over every nook and corner of our land. Whenever this system, prevails the farmers become hewers ol wood and drawers of water. The mortgagee ig virtually the slave of the mortgagee. The accommodating "time merchant" exacts of his poor neighbor an oppressive and burdensome rate of interest. In the beginmning of the year it is long time and long price*. In the end it i:- short crops and short prices, and the scene closes in bankruptcy aud financial ruin.—Ex According to Piofessor Walter H.
