It is a conceded and important fact, that hundreds of our piembers will take a State paper who will take "no other The Paper is needed to be the organ of our Synod and Presbyteries to elevate and en lighten the piety of our membership by diffashig evangelical knowledge to promote the cause of Education to develope the talents of our Ministry, and to strengthen the attachment of our people to the soil and sanctuaries' of their own State. If our Church in other States, and other Churches in this State, can supply their mem bers with a religious journal, why may not we?. Are North Carolina Presbyterians iuferior in talent, energy and patriotism to their neighbors on the North or South, or to Christians of, other denominations at home? With ' the same or better opportunities of accomplishing this work, shall we leave it undone? In the language of one of our most able and useful: Ministers, an adopted son of our State, "Itr, ought to have been undertaken 20 years , ago but it is not too late to begin to do rigu." In the last two or three months, a fund of about $5000 has been subscribed as a perma nent capital. At a meeting of the contributor held at Greensborough on the 14th of "May, llev. A. liaker, Chairman, the Taper was ui aniinouslv located at Fayetteville, under t!e name and title of the North Carolina Pres byterian. Rev. Wm. N. Mebane and'. Rer. George McNeill were elected Editors: Rer. Messrs. George McNeill, Wm. N. MebaneA. Baker and C. II. Wiley, and Messrs. George McNeill, Sr., John II.

Its columns will afford the latest intelligence, both foreign and domes tic, and special care will be taken to give a full and accurate summary of State news. The name of the Paper is designed to be an expo nent of its character and contents. Prom con viction, it will advocate the conservative, or thodox, Old School doctrines and order of the Church. Our first appeal is to our own people to N C. Presbyterians. Whilst we rely confidently upon their favor, we trust that the native sons of North Carolina who have found homes in other States, and the adopted citizens of our State who form so important an element in our Ministry and membership, will take a deep interest in this enterprise, and give it their hearty support. Terms: $2 per annum in advance, or on de livery of the first number; 2 50 in six months $3 at the end of the year. To clubs of 25 or more, paying in advance and when the Paper! is sent to one address, a discount or 10 per cent, will be allowed. Our Ministers and Elders are earnestly desired to act as Agents, and all others friendly to the cause will please assist in procuring as many subscribers as possi ble, and forward the names, by August nt, to this Office. As soon as 1500 subscribers are obtained, the first number will be issued. If a faithful and vigorous effort is made in the next two months by those Hho take a lively interest in this work, we will without doubt, be able to begin the publication at the end of that time with a paying subscription list of at least 3000.

Well, die afar looked mitty sassy and fite like, eny how, purticnlerly when he were a struttin up tu a big strange god to smell ov Mm. It made his sturu look hicr than his shoulders, purpen dicular and sqar; and he had a way ov walkin slow an solemn like I'd seed young fellers do at camp meetin when approaching to a gall at the -spring with thar stud-hoss clothes on, pgwine sorter side ways and niity keerful. I've seed lktlc hogs go through the same motions, wun in a peach orchard and tother in the lane, wiienlthey wanted to fite, and wud a dim it but fur tlTe fence whae wur atvveen 'em, I never found out that he wur good fur eny thing but to keep bred frum moulding and meat from spilin, and when he wanted to show glad, as he had no tail to wag he wagged his whole stern an his hind feet slipped upon the gronn. sorter like a fashiouable gall walks when she thinks some he seller is lookin at 'er. He was cullud adzactly like a mildewed saddil skirt, ,aid he kerried his years on a nowiu sort of cock, like onto a mule's when he is skeered. He'd wtoi&kers round his eye?, an on his hind legs, an must had a powerful active consince, fur he wur the meanest countinenced dog I ever seed in my life.

Scz I, 'Mister, what had my dog dun tu yu." lie paid no 'tention, but kept on a singin "Rack; back Davy, daddy shot a bar; Shot 'im in the eye an never toch a ha'r." I seed it was no use tryin to breed a quarrel ; so tha it mout be abte ta breed a lite, and 1 ist lent him a slatharin calamity, rite whar lilsTsnout commenced a sproutin from his eyes, with a rougn rock about size over a goose aig.

We see but feeble and infre quent indications in any of our great cities of a people having the most remote connections with those magnificent races described by Tacitus and others, as universally large stature, perfectly formed, and excelling even the Romans in dignity and beauty. Think of the ancient Germans, the ancient Unions j appeared, to get a glimpse oi the corpse ot (and many of the present ones) the Romans her little friend. A hen the procession star and the Greeks, under the simple influences of j tea for lt. Hope, she was observed bv an exercise and plenty of open air. "We w'l uncle of the deceased to be near, and'sob- dety any one," says a coionnioraiy, 10 biuuy says a cotonrporary, to study this subject without becoming lost in wonder at the perfect science or lire and its rational en joyment which then prevailed,- and without experiencing the deepest regret that we of the present day should so wastefully sacrifice such means of happiness. The lofty ideal of Greek ar! which was the same thing as Greek-life and Greek intellect, an ideal which humanity has never since attained, is all reducible to the simple problem of arf intelligent race,' developed by air, bathing, and exercise.

We are, therefore, pleased to see medical and other journals urging, with great earnest ness, the important subject of physical exercise. If they can prevail upon our countrymen- to take their advice on this point, to eat plain food, and give themselves time enough to eat it; if they cau induce American ladies to take out-doors exercise, and imitate the English ladies iu wearing thick shoes in bad weather, and becoming great pedestrians in fine wea ther thev may possibly save the American neonle from becoming a nation of dwarfs or front entire extinction.
