Shall Ierne aye be praying For her food at Albion's feet? Hear them sighing, "Give us bread, And when, saved from death by you, We are girt with strength anew, Oh! give us work, for we love toil, And God will bless your mite That kept us In the light Of life on this our own dear soil." Yes; we'll snatch you from the dead; Erin, gold will pour like hall On your famine stricken bed, And we'll save old Innisfail! OBSERVATIONS. The pretty and ugly, the good and the mean.

The placidity of expression worn by a man who is "uexL" in a full barber shop cannot be counter feited even by an old maid with her first love letter. A French newspaper points out how the passion for gambling is shown in England, so that even In wedding notices it Is necessary to state that there were "no cards." "What was the oldest thing Gen. Grant met with abroad?" asked Smith. "The pyramids, of course." said Jones. "No," said Smith, "I see that Grant, while In Havana, visited the American circus." "Well, you- dont mean to say that the American, circus is older than the Egyptian pyra mids?" "Perhaps not." said Smith, "but it's jokes, you know, it's jokes!" Jones caved. Prospects Encouraging-. Winston Leader. On Thursday find Friday last Col. J. S. Barbour, riceiver of the Virginia Midland, was in Winston on business connected with the extension of that road through this section. Quite a num ber of gentlemen and railroad men were present, among whom were Maj. P. W. Hairston, of Baltimore; Mr. G. C. Ayres, the mayor of lanville, Va.,; Mr. C. G. Holland, of Danville, Va. ; Col. H. C. Cowles, Col. S. A. Sharp, and Mr. J. S. Miller, of Statesville ; Mr. J. T. More head, of Leaksville ; and Messrs. W. C. Wilson, W. B. Clement and A. M. Booe, of Mocks ville, and others, w hose names our memory cannot grasp at this mo ment. Mr. Barbour interviewed the different sections represented here sep arately. The meetings were held pri vately, and not being a railroad mag nate, consequently we were not present. We are ossuredby thejWinston commit tee, who conferred with Col. Barbour, thateverything is favorable for Winston in the matter. It is not deemed advisable to make public these meetings, but our readers may rest assured we shall keep them posted. Thirtgs have a very en couraging look fer our people atfpres ent, and we trust Winston will realize her situation. ''lie I.aiijfuiig-e of the Hair. Having already given our readers the "language of the mouth," we herewith present for their, enlightenment the "language of the hair;" Straight, lank, stringy-looking hair indicates weakness and cowardice. Curly hair denotes a quick temper. Frizzy hair, set on one's head as if each individual hair were ready, to 'light its. neighbor,' denotes coarseness. Blaek hair indicates per sistent resolution in accomplishing an object, also a strong predisposition to avenge wrongs and insults real or fan cied. Brown hair denotes fondness for life, a friendly disposition, ambition, earnestness of purpose, capacity for business, reliability in friendship, in proportion as the hair is fine. Very fine hair indicates an even disposition, a readiness to forgive, with a desire to add to the happiness of others. Per sons with very fine light brown or au burn hair, inclined to curl or friz, are quick-tempered, and are given to re sentment and revenge. Light brown hair, inclined to redness, with a freckled skin, is a certain indication of deceit, treachery, and a disposition to do some thing mean to a friend who can no longer be used to advantage. AVe give this as we find it, and it is about as true as such things generally are. The Work of Hie FlamesThe Nation al Hotel Destroyed. Columbia Register. About two o'clock yesterday morn ing, the alarm of fire was sounded and a lurid glare from the southwest lit up the city. Tt was ascertained that the National Hotel, near the South Caroli na depot, was on fire, and though the firemen proceeded to the spot and work ed like heroes, it was not possible to check the flames until the building and most of its contents were completely destroyed. The building was the prop erty of Mr. Joyner, and .was some times known as Joyner's Hotel. He es timates his loss at about $15,000, with an insurance of $6,500. Mr. Swaffield also had $S00 on the building in the rear which was saved by the noble ex ertions of the firemen. The origin of the fire is unknown. No suspicion is expressed that it was of incendiary or igin. It spread with great rapidity, and it was but a very few moments af ter it was first discovered till the whole roof was in flames.

A most interesting discussion is be ing waged through the Augusta Even ing News just? now, the point at issue being as to Whether or not a young married couple can live on $1,000 a year. There is a decidedly practical gentleman who is ungallant enough to argue that such-a theory is preposter ous and impossible, unless, he adds, the young couple lives in bed and thus does away with the necessity of clothes, lights or fuel. A young lady and of course both these persons write anony mously contend that such a thing is not only possible, but the very thing. She puts rents at $15 a month and pro visions at $25 a month. These two items exhaust $480 leaving, after clothes, fuel, etc., are provided for by her calculation, $160 for "whatever may happen." The bachelor writer is cruel enough to suggest in this connection that the young lady has very little idea of "whatever may happen," and that $160 is hardly enough money to meet the contingency. And so the discussion goes. The Comtitution, devoted to the dis cussion of all material subjects, must take a hand in this one. To begin with, it may be remarked that it is pretty close shaving for a young couple to live on $1,000 per annum and yet we con tend that it can be done and provi sion made, too, for '"whatever may hap pen." In the first place, a home large enough to be happy in, and pretentious enough for people who remember that it is the hostess and not the house that charms the guest, can be had for $15 a month. We base these calculations, it must be remarked, on Atlanta, merely premising them w ith the statement that persons living in cities where they are impossible figures ought to come to At lanta to live. Let us say, however, that the house costs $20 a month this eats up for rent $240. As to the provision account, that need not go over $25 a month, and it may be kept a shade un der it, and still give the young folks all they can reasonably want to eat. This takes $500 more, leaving only $460 for the rest. Of this amount, $150 will be ample for clothes, and $60 will suffice for a servant. This leaves $250, of which $50 will provide the fuel and lights, and $50 will meet incidentalex penses. This leaves $100, which, we contend, is quite enough for "what may happen." These figures are general, but they are quite liberal enough. Outside of statistics, it may be said that the amount of happiness that comes with marriage is inestimable that the in creased scope and ambition a good wife gives to a man's life is beyond price and that the protection that a home furnishes against temptation and per nicious habits amounts to a great deal. If every young man over 20 years of age would marry a good young woman as soon as he begins to earn $1,000 a year, we should see a decided improve ment in the rising generation. Ai y young man who earns 1,000 a year bt fore he is married, will find, if he gets a good wife and all theory must be bar ed upon this presumption that he will soou be capable of making himself worth more than $1,000 a year, and an increase of alaj:y may be -expected; And then how many homes are started and even kept comfortable and happy, after something "has happened," on less than $1,000 a year. What man would not be willing to deny himself all the luxuries of life and a reasonable share of its comforts, in order to es tablish a home for himself and light it up with the woman of his heart? It is not money that makes happy homes and hearthstones that are cheerless for the lack of it, would not be cheerful if they were paved with gold. The young fellow who loves a girl and hangs back from marriage be cause he has only a thousand dollars a years, is not very much in love. But then why theorize on this subject? It is one pudding of which the only proof is the eating. Why not, then, have the matter settled by an ap- peal to experience t Let the doubting batchelor who is writing the matter down in the News put one thousand dollars in the hands of the young lady who is writing it up, and ask her to take the money and himself, and make him happy and com fortable for one year. What an interest ing wedding that would be with Editor Moore, teaming lustrous with uplifted hands and unctious blessings over the kneeling pair, while the preacher pro nounced the words that made them one, and closed the argument. We guarantee the bachelor would find himself the owner of a hearthstone over which all the felicities would swarm as household gods, his home made bright and happy, and a little balance of money left at the end of the year no matter what might have happened. Gold Minings Dr. lUearef Process. N. T. Cor. Hale's Weekly. While on the subject I may mention, what is perhaps already known to you, that the Hon. Morse Davis, formerly member of Congress from Philadel phia, has been making experiments at a gold mine south of Salisbury, to ex tract the gold from the solution of the double sulphuret of gold and copper which is the result of what is known as "Dr. Meares's process." Success seems to have crowned his labors, for he has exhibited a brick of pure gold weighing nearly half-a-pound, obtain ed from the Meares solution by filter ing it through fine charceal. His re ward will be the right to -apply the pro cess to all the tailings' of gold mines in North Carolina which contain these hitherto refractory sulphurets. It-remains to be seen whether the process is economical when applied on a large seale. Should, it prove to be so, gold mining in North Carolina will be a sure and a profitable business, and Mr Davis need not seek a fortune in Leadville.
