The spirit of the year, like a blast auul, has dmieils woik has filled a thousand value with golden com; weighted the ire and vlnea with fruit; glorified all the earth with flowers and beauty; and now lingering for a lat fond look, lis earthly robes laid ofr, sheds over the world a farewell smite, aud so re turns lo God 'J.

The 'bankers," who live along the North Carolina batiks, are a peculiar people. Like " the Florida "crackers," their origin Is wrapped In mystery. They have little Intercourse with the world and that little ia confined to an Inter change of commoditl. They are ex pert fishermen and hunters, and the rang for both la wide. They make their own nests, hollow out a cypress big, and fashion and trim it to theemblanee ofrs boat, cultivate a little 1 patch of atat, aud live and flourish In a sort of rude Iu-. dependence, If not antagonism to their more civilized uelghhors across the clian nel.
