These rouse him to full rapture, and he breaks Into tte sweetness of an angel's song Who ' wakes on earth, new fail'n in sleep f iom heaven. So the ollan harp owns not the sway Of harper's Angers; not the ordered laws Of fugue, sonata, symphony; yet breathes Its whole lull heart foith to the lawless wind. The Spectator. OBSEIiVATIONR.

An Ohio girl sued a man for a breach of promise, and proved him such a mean scoundrel that the jury decided she ought to pay him something lor net marrying her. Two Kentucky maidens have opened a blacksmith-shop, and it is an interesting sight to see a mule blush when the girls accidentally tickle him while putting on his nw shoes.

The Pres byterians have raised the money neces sary for the erection of a church edifice, are engaged in obtaining the lumber, and will soon be ready to build their house of worship. The new Methodist church will be completed some time this year. The Story of Two Wire. On the. day of the funeral of Mr, Win, P. Miller in Washington, Del., a woman, in whose lineaments traces of youthful beauty still lingered, though advancing age streaked her once luxuriant hair with silver, entered the house to look for the last time upon the face of the corpse. Few, if any,recognized her, yet her s was the legal right to appear as chief mourner there, for she was the first and the only wife of the departed. Among the neighbors, her story is thus told: She was wedded to Mr. Miller when both were comparatively young. One son was born to them, and their lives ran on peacefully and unevent iully, as far as is known, until about fifteen years ago. About that time the husband was taken down with that dreaded and loathsome malady, small pox. The wife's dread of the disease proved stronger than her love and sense of duty, and she deserted the house, leaving him to be nursed back to life and health by a younger and braver woman. With returning health sprang up in the man a feeling of gratitude and affection for his young nurse. His recreant wife had gone and he would not recall her. The love she had for feited he transferred to the woman who had remained by him in his hour of need, and from that time up to the hour of his death, they lived together as man and wife. The son took his fath er's part and had no reproaches for her who had taken his mother's place.. Af ter the funeral, last Thursday, he and the second Mrs. M. divided the house hold goods and family relics, between them and left the city, he going to Philadelphia and she to Baltimore. The original Mrs. M. departed, t& she had come, whither seems ta bef tin known, and. the house has already been J rented again. : TOO HE RAILROAD TALK. Something: About lUe Tennessee Con nexion. Bristol News. The Legislature "of North Carolina has just been called together specially to consider the proposition of a New York syndicate fortthe purchase of one of the railroad linis leading from the seaboard towards Cincinnati and Lou- isville. This -synd: pate has deposited a very large amo it of monev as an earnest that they in business. North Carolina is now b ling by convict la- bor two lines. On )f them leads from Wilmington via Salisbury, Morganton, and Asheville to Paint Rock, where it will eonnect witn tne Mornstown soad. The other leads from Cumberland,at the head of navigation above Wilmington, via Greensboro, Mount Airv and Ore Knob, toward Bristol, it may be. Both of these lines look to Cumberland Gap, in order to reach Louisville and Cincin nati, and the New York syndicate means to purchase one of them. If the Greens boro, Mount Airyjind.Ore Knob be ta ken by them, they will wish to come to Bristol and use our Narrow Gauge rail road line to the Gap. In this connection we wish to say to these gentlemen that we are pushing our Narrow Gauge road ahead with eighty convicts now, and a prospect of more. We have over one hundred thousand dollars that will soon be in shape as subscriptions, and we shall be half way to Estillville with the grading before the close of this year. Our line penetrates the finest and larg est beds of iron and coal on this con tinent, and its completion will show an iron boom in the counties of Scott, Lee and Wise, that will make one's head swim to contemplate. Experts declare the quality of the iron the very finest in the world. There are only the Lake Superior and the northern New York deposits like it. In amount we can beat them all. The distance to Cumberland Gap from Bristol .is about 100 miles. We have at least four companies of capitalists who are anxious to open ne gotiations with us for the completion of the road. To our own people we wish to say that quick movements are neces sary. Not for one moment can we al low the movement to stand still. Scott and Lee must take position at once on our stock-books. The sooner this shall be done the sooner we shall contract for the iron and rolling stock. This connection with the coast at Wilmington, N. C, via Cumberland Gap and Bristol, and Ore Knob and Greens boro, is the straightest possible line for Louisville and Cincinnati. Take the map and make the line, and the reader will be surprised that he never saw it before. Gaston County Cotton Factory. Gastonia Gazette. The people of Gaston county have about SG00.00O deposited in the Char lotte national banks, and these banks, we are informed by the press and ru mors generally, have too much money anyhow ; consequently, we see no rea son why the people of this county can not find some means to employ at least a large part of this immense capital. The county has no bonds ana is out of debt entirely. We have been estimating the last few days the cost of conducting water from the falls at White & Jenkins's mills, on Long creek, to a point half way be tween A. B. Rhyne's mill and the Long creek rjad-bridge, which, we are in formed, is the centre of Gaston county, exactly, and a direct line from Gastonia to Dallas; consequently, both of these towns will be deeply interested, as the factory would be very convenient to both, perhaps a little more to Dallas. The cost of conveying the water will not exceed $10,000, which is the usual price asked for a good fall, and fre quently in very inconvenient localities, too; but this cost, no doubt, by proper cleaning out of the creek below, can be1 reduced to $5,000. The lands up and down the creek can be purchased at from $5 to $15 peracre, and a company should be organized at once to take the matter into considera tion. We cannot see why a factory of this kind ought not to be established. It would bring to Gaston county a large revenue and an increase of population that will aid in enhancing and increas ing the value of property throughout the county. It does seem to us that a company properly organized, with skill ful financiers at the head of it, and a capital of $200,000 to $300,000, might be raised in a very short time. One man in the county can plank down $50,000, and not miss it from his bank account. Let the people begin at once and see what can be done. A Celebrated Case. Raleigh Observer. A few days past the celebrated case of Josiah Turner vs. W.W. Holden was up before A. W. Haywood, Esq., as ref eree, to take the examination of the defendant and report the same to Chat ham Superior Court. The proceeding was supplemental to execution. The defendant declined to be sworn, on the ground that a receiver of the property, and especially of the judgment against the defendant, had been appointed be fore the institution of these proceedings, and that, therefore, the plaintiff, Turn er, had no right to proceed in the case as at present constituted. The referee, on motion to attach defendant for con tempt, ruled that he had no power to attach for contempt in -such case, but that the proper way was to certify the matter up to the Superior Court of Chatham county, in order that the de fendant might be properly dealt with, touching his said refusal ; which was ac cordingly done. Horse Flesli. At the price of horses, as recorded be low, it will still pay, m spite of the de- Dression in the market, to raise norses. The following prices were paid, at dif ferent times, tor the following horses: Falsetto, to Mr. Pierre Lorillard, for $18,000 (sent to England) ; Spendthrift, to Mr. Keene, $15,000 ; uommg to trot ters, Mr. Bonner paid $40,000 for Poca hontas, $36,000 for Rarus, $34,000 for Dexter, $20,000 for Startle, $16,000 for Edwin Forrest, and $15,000 for Graf ton. Mr. Smith, of New Jersey, paid $35,000 for Goldsmith Maid, $32,000 for Jay Gould, $30,000 for Lady Thome, $25,000 for Lucy, and $17,000 for Tat tler. Mr, Vanderbilt paid $21,000 for Maude S., and $10,000 for Lysander Boy. The largest sum ever paid for a horse in England, where there are few trotters, was close on to $72,000 for Don caster, by the Dake of Westminster. i i m ', Bright 8 Disease and other affections of the Kidneys and Bladder are sometimes brought on and often aggravated by the neglect of the symptoms, which, If taken in time, would no doubt fn a majority of cases yield to treatment No medicine la so well suited for this as Rankin's Compound Extract Buchu and Juniper.
