WHS decided in the negative.
“ Should children having step-fathers be
admitted,” was also decidel in the negative.
*• Should deformed clnldfen be admitted?”
When the deformity is of such a character as
to require extra attention, it was tliought uu-
advisable to admit the parties in the present
couditiou of the Asylum.

The orphans are divided into
Four Graded Forms, each in
cliarge of a teacher, whose report
is printed every fourth week
The highest number is 10; the
lowest is 1. When the average
is below 5, the orphan is liable to
be discharged as not “promising,”
and therefore excluded by the
regulations. This paper contains

The “ Old North State,” in her
quiet, demure, orderly way,
making steady and unhindered
progress to wealth and power.
By official statistics, recently pub
lished, we see that the value of
property in the State has in^
creased about thirty million dol"
lars since 1870. This, too, despite
the general business depression
and ffnancial embarrassment of
the country. It shows the fine re
sults of plodding industry, of so
cial thrift and safe enterprise.
WORK.
Should boys learn trades at the Asylum?”
Decided iu the negative, it being impractica
ble at ihis time to employ skilled mechanics
in the various trades, erect suitable work
shops aud purchase necessary tools.
The larger girls shall assist in the ordinary
house work, and in making and mending the
bed clothes, their own clothes and the clothes
»f the boys. The larger boys shall assist iu
the preparation of fuel, the care ot the stock,
and the cultivation of the soil.
NEUTRAL IN POLITICS AND RELIGION.
At least four religious denominations shall
be represented among the officers of the Asy
lum, aud the representatives ot all religious
creeds and of all political parlies shall
treated alike.
ANNUAL REPORT.
That the Superiuteudent of the said Orphan
Asylum shall report at each Annual Commu
nication an account of his official acts, receipts,
disbursements, number ot pupils, etc., to
gether with such suggestions as he may see
fit to offer.
North Carolitia is rarely heard of
in t!ie seething maelstrom of’ pol
itics; her people do not herald
colossal enterprises to the world
with a flourish of trumpets, but
whose chief results are sound, as
is frequently the case with other
members of our Auierican body
politic; she does not indulge in
brilliant failures; glittering vis
ions of Utopia, and the luring
mirages of speculation. Sober,
sedate, honest, with a full knowl
edge of themselves, and the ca
pacity of their beloved old Com
monwealth, intelligent and perse
vering, the}' illustrate the fact
that fortunes are made by mind
ing one’s own busines, and that
the patient, plodding tortoise will,
in the end, overtake and pass tlie
swift, but erratic and over-confi
dent hare.-—Crcorgfffl Christian In
dex.
Maker who walked upon the
waters and bade tlie winds be
still, left no ordained apostle wiili
power to wrench apart the jaws
of national deatli, and release tlie
victim of despotism. The wail i f
tlie heart broken over the dead
is not so sad to me as the realiza
tion of tills fact. But all lustory,
with a loud, unbroken voice,
proclaims it; and the evidence of
what the futiii'o will he AVIierev-
er in the domain of human con
duct a people once jmssessed of
liberty have surrendered tliese
great gifts of God, at tiie com
mand of the usurper, they have
never afterwards proven them
selves wortliy to regain their for
feited treasure.

—When one has been long and
far away from an earthly home,
what a happy sight to see broth
ers and sisters all crowding to the
door to bring us in. What is that
but a dim image of what will be
seen at the gates of glory?—
Guthrie.
The following beautiful extract
is from a speech delivered by
Hon. 1). W. Vorhees, of Indiana:
It is a melancholy spectacle to
see a free government die. The
world, it is true, is filled with ev
idences of decay. All nature
speaks the voice of dissolution,
and the highway of history and
of life is strewn with the wrecks
which Time, the great dispoiler,
has made.—But the hopes of the
future, bright vi.sions of reviving
glory, are nowhere denied to the
heart of man, as he gazes on tlie
downfall ot legal liberty. He lis-
t.'us mournfully to the autumn
winds as they sigh through dis
tant forests, but he knows their
breath will he soft and vernal in
the spring, and that the dead flow-
ere a-id withered foliage will blos
som and bloom again. He sees
the sky overcast with the angry
frown of the tempest, but he
knows that the sun will reappear,
and the emblazonry of God can
not perish. Man himself, this
strange connecting link between
dust and Deity, totters wearily,
wearily onward under the weight
of years and pain, toward the
tomb, but how briefly his life
lingers around the dismal spot.
It is filled with tears and grief,
and the willow and cypress gath
er over and around it with theii
Toving hut mournful embrace.
A nd is this all 1 Not so ! If a man
die, shall he not live again ? Be
yond the grave is the distant
Aiden, Hope provides an elysium
for the soul where the mortal as
sumes immortality, and life be
comes an endless splendor. But
where, sir, in all the dreary regions
of the past, filled with convul
sions, wars and crimes, can you
point your finger to the tomb of a
free commonwealth on which the
angels of resurrection have ever
descended, or from whose sepul
chre the stone of despotism has
been rolled away I Where, in
what age, and in what clime,
have the veins of constitutional
freedom renewed their youth and
regained their lost estate? By
whose strong grip has the dead
corpse of the republic, once fallen,
ever been raised ? The merciful
thy bosom the
to the rest which it seeks, and the
weary, watching soul to endless
bliss.
As we stand by the sea-shore
and watch tlie rollingf tides come
in, we retreat, thinking we shall
be overwhelmed; soon however,
tliev flow back. So with the
waves of trouble in the world;
they threaten us, hut a firm re
sistance makes them break at our
feet.—Otir Monthty.

This book has become popular, both m

Amoug the many notices filed of its worth, is
a letter of thanks received by the authoress
from Her Majesty, Victoria,Queen of England.
It ha-s been thoroughly tested by experienc
ed housekeepers, and pronounced a household
necessity. It is minule in its dircctKuis, and
abounds in chok'e receipts swRed to the wants
of those m moderate circumstances, or of the

young housekeepers, are more than worth thto
