C I AlTX- tOT CnSlOllS Fayetteville, June 19, 1858 tf NORTH CAROLINIAN. FA YE TTE VILLE, N. C. Marriage at an Early Day. A license to marry is often wanted when it cannot be had; but a poor one 13 better than none when in a hurry. Witness the following: ' In the early days of Texan independence, a youth, an eccentric genius, still living and reigning, was clerk of one of the western counties. The village was quite secluded in the prairie, and the Squire pastured his cows on the broad acres around, bringing them home at night, and letting them go out to grass in the morning. He kept a tbell on one of them to aid him in finding them; ' but one mormng.-as he was letting them loose, he perceived the clapper of the belVwa"slost out, and being unable to find it," he made a substitute by making fast in the bell of his office key. Not till he reached his office did it occur to him that he should want the key, but now finding himself locked out, he betook himself to other matters, proposing to recover the key at night. About noon a rough-and-ready young Texan, dressed in. buckskin, came riding into town, inquired for e clerk, scared him up, and asked for a matefesre license. 'Sorry I can't" aceonmiodatfeyo"uta dorday but its no go.' . " "Why not? I'm going to be spliced to night, and I must' have it, wnether or ho." 'But the fact is' said the clerk, 'my office is locked up, and the COW is gone away "With fllc kov . neecw: wnataoes tlie COW want With the key?' c ,v, u fnr .1.1 tbrl,i j . So the old fellow told the whole story, and the two set off for the prairie to find the cat tle and get the key. But the more they looked the less they found, and finally had to give it up. A bright thought struck the clerk of the county. 'I'll fix you out, said he, and young Tex as jumped a rod, so tickled was he to be fix ed out of the fix he was in. They proceeded to the store close by the office, and there the county scrise indited the followinor para graph: 'Republic of Texas To all who shall see this present, greetlUg: V herea3, I, the undersigned, cler of this county, having this morning unthoughtedly tied my office key as a clapper in my cow s bell, and where asy me said cow nas gone" astray to parts unknown, bearing with her the said key, and therefore the said key is ?io?i inventus est that is can't be had; and whereas, one Ab ner Barnes has made application to me for a marriage license, and the said Abner per sists that he cannot wait until the cow comes back with the key, but is compelled by the violence of his feelings and arrangements al ready made, to get married. Therefore these presents are to command any person legally authorized to celebrate the rites of matrimony, to join the said Abner Barnes to Miss Rebecca Downs, and for so doing this shall be your sufficient authority. 'Given under my hand and private seal on the doorstep of my office the seal of the office being locked up, and my cow having gone away with the key this fourth day of October, A. D. 1838. The Burial-Place.-What a multitude of thoughts crowd upon the mind in the con templation of such a scene! How much of the future, even in its far distant reaches, rises before us with all its persuasive reali ties! Take but one little narrow space of time, and how atlecting are its associations! Within the flight of one half century, how many of the o;reat, the ffooci, and "the wise will be gathered here! How many, in the loveliness of infancy, the beauty of youth, the vigor of manhood, and the maturity of iii" l t it . age, will lie uown nere, ami mvell in the bosom of their mother earth! The rich and the poor, the gay and the wretched, the fa vorites ot thousands, and the forsaken of the world, the stranger in his solitary grave, and the patriarch, surrounded by the kin dred of a long lineage! How many will here bury their brightest hopes or blasted expectations! How many bitter tears will here be shed! How many aoonizino- siff.s will here be heaved! How many tremblino; feet will cross the pathways and, returning, leave behind them the dearest objects of their reverence of their love! Everett. The Way to Eminence. Long ago a school. little boy was entered at Harrow He was put into a class beyond his years, andwhere all the scholars had the advantage of previous instruction denied to him. His master chid him for his dullness, and all his efforts then could not raise him from the lowest place on the form. But nothing daunted, he procured the grammars and other elementary books which his class fel lows had gone through in previous terms. He devoted the hours of play, and not a few of the hours of sleep, to the mastering of these; till, in few weeks, he gradually began to rise, and it was not long till he shot far ahead of all his companions, and become not only leader of the division, but the pride of Harrow. You may see the statute of that boy, who career began with this fit .of energetic application, in St. Paul's Cathe dralLondon; for he lived to be the great est Oriental scholar of modern Europe it was Sir William Jones. Vice stints even in our pleasures; but virtue consoles even in our pains. Men are very much like frogs they are ever in the mire, but always croaiing.
