I i HAVING ENEMIES. A man that has a soul worth a sixpence raoet expect to have enemies. It is utterly impos.-ible for the best of men topleaaethe whole world : aud the sooner this is uoder etood, uitd the position taken in view of the fact, the better. Even when pretended friends are fawning upon you, seeking to H-in. thing through your influence or your means, it is well to understand wheth er they are" not your worst enemies. There is ich a sinnll sprinkling of disinterested friendship in our present competitive state fit society, that there is very little danger of mistaking a true friend when you really Jook sharp about you. Such an individual comes not with loud and blatant professions of good to you, nor with the mark of dis simulation upon his brow, but with a con jdid demeanor, plain dealing, and few or no professions. Unlike the "artful dodger," who is your seeming friend to accommodate his own selfish purposes, the honest man is chary of his compliments, and VOuJA "not flatter Neptune for his trident, nor Jove for his power to thunder." He is readier to grant you favors than to recieve them, and bestow graciously his smiles. Men must expect enemies just in the pro portion that they are thriving. "Enmity, hatred and malic e, ftnd all uncharitable ness," are weeds of rank growth in the soil of the present times. There are enough of men's souls at every step taken in the path of life who would like to prevent your suc cess ; and they liate you as long as you prosper ; if for no other reason, simply be cause they are not excelling you in your labor and your prosperity. It were of lit tle use to heed them or their efforts; the sure and best way to triumph is to live down their petty slanders and calumnies. Such enemies are cowards, and they hate you because they fear you, The true motto for life is, to do rijht, and let the consequences take care of themselves. It is all sheer vanity to strive to accommo date yourself at every point to the whims and notions of .some ojthr persons, and try to square your ideas to please this or that Beet or party. On the score .of inere per sonal gain alone, yw must inevitably be the lo.-er; and once losing siht of your in tegrity and independence, you become the slave of petty tyrants, and make for your self hurdeus heavy to be borne. Io right though you have .enemies. You cannot escape them by doing wrong. And it is little gi in to barter away your honor and integrity, and divest your naif of moral ournge, to gain whnjt ? Nothing. Hotter abide by the truth frown down all opposi tion, and rejoice in tlu? feeling which must inspire a free and independent man. THE WAGON Why is it Jenkins & Taylor sell Stoves so cheap 1 Rexause they buy them fiom the Manufacturers. JENKINS & TAYLOR WOULD respectfully announce to the inhabi tants of Charlotte and vicinity, that tiny have removed from their Old Stand, to one door W est of Elms & Spratt's Grocery Store, where they have now on exhibition, just re ceived from the North, one of the most EXTENSIVE ASSORTMENTS OF Kver ottered in North Carolina, among which will be found the celebrated Iron Witch Cooking Stove ! Which has gained such a famous reputation in the Southern Country for the last eighteen months. This Stove we warrant superior to any Cooking Stove now in use. It is simple in its arrangements, consumes less fuel, and iloos more work in a given time, than any other Stove now in use. We will put one beside any other Stove of the same size in the United Siates, and if it does not do more work in any given time, we will forfeit the price of ihe Stove, and quit selling and go our death tor the better one. All Kinds of Parlour and Box We have, and constantly kep au extensiye and varied stock of Tin, and Sheet Iron, Japan and Britannia Ware, Brass Kettles, Cast. Iron Bed Steads, Hat Barks, Cradles All of which will be sold Wholesale and Re tail, cheaper than has ever been before of tered in this vicinity. We would return our thanks to our lr lends and customers for the very liberal patronage they have bestowed upon us, and they may rest assured, that we shall endeavor, by close .ittectuin Co business, together with a deter minatino to pLease, to merit a continuance -I the lame. Our Motto is "Quick Sales and Small Profits." Ladies and Gentlemen are particularly in vited to call and examine our Stock. ALL KINDS OF JOB WORK Attended to with dispatch. N. B. We will tell you why we head our advertisement "Wait for the Wjqon," it is because we have three wagons constantly traveling through the com tiy with Stoves.

Come, off with your coat, clinch the saw. the plow handles, the axe, the pickaxe, the spade anything that will enable you to stir your blood ! Fly round and tear your jacket, rather than be the passive recipient of tin old gentleman's bounty ! Sooner than play the dandy at dad's expense, hire yourself out to some potato patch, let yourself to stop hog holes, or watch the bars, and when you think yourself entitled to a resting spell, do it on your own hook. Get up in the morning turn round at least twice before breakfast help the old gentleman give hive him now and then a lift iu business, learn how to take the lead, and not depend forever on being led and you have no idea how the discipline will benefit you. Do this, and our word for it, you will seem to breathe a new atmosphere, possess a new frame, tread a new earth, wake to a new destiny and you may then begin to aspire to manhood, fake off, then, that ring from your lily fu-ger, break y'ir cane, shave your upper lip, wipe your chin, hold up your head, and, by all means, never again eat the bread of idleness, nor depend on father ! itf' New clothes are great promoters of piety. A new bonnet or a new dress will induce a girl to go to church at least three times on Sunday, where she didn't use to go but once before she got it. iy A Chippewa chief recently said in Boston, when asked why the Indians do not copy die dress of our people, "Me think we sturted your fashions, your men now wear blankets, as we do, and your women paint their faces, and wear feathers."

THE undersigned has established an agency in the town of Alligator, Columbia Coun ty, Fla., for the purchase, sale or location ot Land Warrants, the purchase and sale ol lands generally, improved and unimproved. The fact now being established that a Rail Road is to be constructed immediately connecting the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, running through the entire length of the county, East ana West, and in view of the great fertility of our soil, the unusually fine growth of pine timber on the land, the healthfulness of the climate, and the reasonable terms on which lands can now be obtained, there is perhaps no section of the Union which affords equal inducements to the emigrant from the older Slates. Having had some experience in farm ing on the different kinds ot land, and ac quired a general knowledge of them through out the county, and having acquired unusual facilities for pointing out such as are for sale either of public or private lands, he feels very confident of making it the interest of all persons wishing infer rr at ion, or who may have deter mined to settle in Florida to call on him.

Coin- friend, draw nigh with tearml eyes. Sweet b'.rdie see its spirit flies, Though paiu.-d "as when a giant dies;" Tis sweetly fled, Its last aaJ requiem to the skies; Poor Willie's dead ! In January's cold and chilly blast, Wbea snows were falling thick and fast, A mournful dirge-, he ang his last, And now is dead ; The m'-rrv fondling of the past, For Willie's dead ! At early dawn, with tirL-l feet, Jumping from wire to wire so fleet, Its matin song the lark would greet. Far o'er the mead ; The silwry chord of life, how sweet! Our Willie's dead ! Its life it poured away in song, As sweet as zephyrs float along, Till Winter's poisonous breath ere long, With chilly dread. Had sealed its rounded life of song; And Willie's dead ! At loss of wealth I ne'er will care, It ne'er could draw the bitter tear, Or make nie fee one half so drear, As Willie dead. We've lost a friend a friend most dear, In Willie dead, A shroud and coffin too was made, Wherein its death-stift bones were laid ; Now gi utly 'neath the sombre shade Rests his cold head, While winds go murmur'ing o'er the glade, Sweet Willie's dead ! O, all ye sons of song, combine, In one loud strain your notes confine, And tribute pay before the shrine, Your comrade's dead ! A.
