I wish to lead a pleasant life, Avoiding duns and debts; To keep aloof from care and strife, And neither gain nor bet. Yet somehow it would be a cram To say I'm blest in lot ; Because you see sometimes I am But then sometimes I'm not ! It's very nice, when in a shop, To buy whatever yon view, Provided want of cash won't pop 'Twixt purchases and you. I wish I were a wealthy man To buy the things that enchant ; Because you see sometimes I can But then, sometimes I cau't. It's quite delightful truly fun . To act as thoughts may strike; And pleasant, too, to leave undone The things one doesn't like. I often wish to have my way, Thus free from all restraint; Because you see, sometimes I may But then, sometimes I mayn't. An even temper to possess A mind that's balanced well Must be a bliss I can't express, That tongue may never tell. My temper's pretty fair, but still Act tranquilly I don't Because you see, sometimes I will, But then, sometimes I won't. . Well, well ! The best a man can do Is not to growl at fate, Not too depressed when ills accrue, At bliss not too elate; That I may so behave, old nal, I would the heavens would grant Because 'although sometimes I shall, I know, sometimes I shan't. i Human Life. After awhile a busy brain Will rest from all its cares and pain. After awhile Earth's rush will cease, And a wearied heart find sweet release. After awhile a vanished face An empty seat a vacant place. After awhile a man forgot A crumbled headstone unknown spot. NOTICE.

A Word of Advice to Young Men. Ever since the war ended there has been a great rush to cities by our young men. Many who have not gone have an over weening desire to do so, fancying that, life will be easier and possibly an Eldorado may be found. The whole thing is decep tive. We doubt not fifty, possibly hun dred, young men have been to Baltimore and have been disappointed sadly. Some of them became involved in debt, could not -I 1 . 3 I V pay ineir uoaru even, ana nave ueeu com pelled to leave at last.

' T eraiiy iaise ana aecepiive too. iu uve cases out of six they do nothing that they prom- i.i r ise, ana tne young men, wiiu a very iew exceptions, learn but little in comparison with the advantages that are held out in specious and lying circulars. God has written that the children 01 men shall earn their living by the sweat of the brow, and but comparatively few can escape the primal curse. If a young man at twen- ty-one will adopt some caning ana pursue it with unfaltering pertinacity, neither turning to the right hand nor to the left, he will iu all probability succeed as well as mo3t of his fellow men. But what ever you do keep away from cities. Raleigh Sentinel. in Balky Horses. A man who had a balky horse gives the following experience: "One day an old man who saw the horse refuse to pull said to me. 'I'll show you what will start her.' Accordingly he took a cane with a crook on it, that he had with him, and stepping up to her, stuck the hook down into her ear. The horse started with a iump, and we had no mo: e balking that day. 1 have tried the plan since tneu anu imvu always been eucoosful. I-oii't be afrad f hurting the horse; it will only make him mad, and that is what you want. The t.hilnsonhv ol the thincr is this : Take any horse, and especially a balky horse, and you will find an aversion to having the ears handled. Now when you job the cane into his ear the pain makes him mad ; in fact, it mnl-ps him ro mad that he forerets all aboftt balking and everything ele and starts right off. I would recommend to try it on a horse when he balks, but never use the whip. You injure the horse, discomfort yourself and waste elbow grease that might be usefully eraplojed somewhere else. In conclusion I would say n ever breed from a balky horse, for a more worthless animal can hardly bo imagined, and tho breed should never be perpetuated. Executors' Sale.

The questioD is frequently asked of news paper men, "When will the cotton factories be started ?n We ask, when ? The Post has dilligently labored to in duce the solid men ofour city to commence manufacturing cotton cloth aud yarns. If we were possessed of the necessary amount of greenbacks we should not hesitate one moment to invest the whole of it in a twen ty or even fifty per cent dividend paying stock. Printers and editors, in this section of. the world, unfortunately are not all mil lionaires, otherwise lots of things would be started. There is no doubt about success, that is a fixed fact.- Every manufactory in the South, so tar, has been a great success, enriching the owners of the stock more rapidly than every other investment. We speak of! what we know. The present is a most favorable time. The summer is at hand when building can be done cheaply ; the laborers are ready and anxious for work : other sources of in- vestment do not otter so great inducements. Let the work commence. It has recently been ascertained and proven that every dollar of gold extracted from the California mines has cost in money and labor one dollar and fifty cents. We do not doubt it. A question comes up, whether the extraction of turpentine from the trees, in that respect, does not resemble the gold. We doubt uot every barrel of tur entine sent to market pays less to the pro ducer, in the long run, than almost any busi ness he could pursue. Any labor or labor ing population who lives by turpentine or timber getting, does not add one cent to the value of the soil, on the contrary, they are constantly exhausting the product of the soil, instead of adding anything to it. However it may compare with the article of gold, one fact remains uncontradicted that no permanent prosperity exists where the people live ujon what is obtained from the forests. Wilmington Rost. Washington Gossip. The Washington correspondents tells some pretty hard stones aooui senators and other dignitaries. In the 41st Con TrRR there was a Senator from one of the far Western States who had the habit of using his napkin instead of his handkerchief at. tho dinner table.

They are widely cir culated, it is true, among people of almost ail flasftPK and conditions in life: but the wonder is that there should be a family, or man of business of any sort, a farmer, a mechanic, a merchant, or anybody in fact, either in the cities or towns, or in the coun nrlm Arum nnt nhcribe to a newspaper.

A Wife's Power. The power of a wife, for good or for evil, is irresistible. Without one, home must be forever unknown. A good wife is to a man wisdom, strength and courage; a bad oue is confusion, weak ness and dispair. No condition is hopeless to a man where the wife possesses firmness, Witi'mu and economy. There is no out- wanl nrnnriet v which counteracts indolence. extravagance and folly at home. No spirit i i i f .. can long enuuro uu liiuutriiw. hut, his heart is not adamant. Ho delights in enterprise and action, buttosus- tain him he needs a tranquil mind ; ana e pecially if he is an intelligent man, with a whole head, he needs his moral force in the conflict of life. To recover his composure, home must be a place of peace and comfort. There his soul renews his strength, and goes lortll U'llii lrcfeii vigur w i-iituuiiivi labors and troubles ot Hie. l)ut u at noroo he finds no rest, and is there met with bad temper, sullen i less, jealousy and qloom, or assailed with compjaints and censure, hope vanishes and sinks into dispair. Such is the case with two many who, it might seem, nave no counicts or iriam ui mv, is the wife's power.
