DOUGLASS, Superintendent Editor and Proprietor. L0U1SBURG, N. C, Lord Palinciiton, He died prime-minister at the age of eighty-one, on the 18th of October,- 1865. "The half-open cabinentbox on his table and the unfinished letter on ) his desk tcsti fied that he was at his post to the last." And so he died the last of p, Uly nasty of great statesmen. A thorough Englishman, both in taste and temper, he made his country men proud of him, because he was proud of his country. He believed in England as the best and great est country in the world. During his long administration of the Foreign Ufficc, ho steadily adhered to the principle of insisting against all powers ..great orsmalHoii,the. i rights of England. He' did not be lievcin the modern doctrine of non intervention or selfish isolation. He always vindicated the authority of the English name, ai:d believed that a reputation for strength and spirit was necessary to a great na tion. But he had no love for war and for many years, in the midst of extraordinary difficulties, he pre served the peace of Europe. He hated tyranny, and he was the staunch champion of constitutional ism against despotism. Throughout Europe, with libeial sympathies, Palmerston identified England! He m was no fanatic. He was a nracti- cal statesman. "He did what he could." He acted up to the best of his light at the time. There was an entire absence of claptrap in his speech and his conduct. He was intent only on saying the exact thing exactly; and it was this which made him the best of letter-writers. His letters have the unstudied freshness of "written talk,- they sparkle with a humor instinct with strong common sense, and quite, spontaneous. There was no desire or effort to be witty, yet he could catcli and improve any passing humorous thoughts. He once, laughingly, quoted the authority of an eminent physician,, that contin uance in office, with tire resulting employment, was good lor the health. "Would not active oppo sition do as well?' "Xo, no; that stirs up the bile and causes ascidity. Ask Disraeli if it docs not." He was a generous landlord, and few of his letters are more interest ing than the accounts he sends of his plantations at Broadlands, of the .Methodist gardenor whose preaching he intends if possible to stop, and of his improvements of his estate at Sligo. From the latter he got but little profit. He said one day, that he had a thousand tenants who paid under five pounds each. "But do they pay?'V "Not always: they pay when they can when they sell the pig." Lord Palmerston was brave, in trepid, and honorable; no stain of baseness ever soiled his reputation. The manner in which he comporled hia self to Lord John Russell re flects the magnanimity of the En glish statesman, the moderation of the English gentleman. "If,? he writes, ''Russell's man be a good and proper man, I should wish to appoint him, because yon know Russell once treated me iu a vcry rough way, and I desire to show that I have quite forgotten it.

There arc many people always looking out for slights, Thcv can not carry on the daily intercourse of the family without finding that some offence , is designed, Tbcy are as touchy as hair-triggers. If they" meet an ' acquaintance, who happens to bo pre-occupied with business, they attribute his abstrac tion in; some matter personal to themselves, and take umbrage ac cordingly. They lay on others the fruit of their utter irritability. In digestion makes'them sec imperti nence in every one they come in contact with.

Cultivate singing in the umily. Begin when the child is not yet three years old. The son-is anil hymns your mother sang, bring thetr all back to your memory, and teach them to your little ones; mix; them ail together, to meet the simi lar moods, as in afterlife they come over us so mysteriously sometimes. Many a time and oft, in the very whirl of business; in the sunshine and gaycty of the streets, and amid the splendor of the drives in a park, some little thing wakes up the memories of early youth the old mill, the cool spring; the shady tree by the little school-house and the next instant we almost see again the ruddy checks, the smiling faces and the merry eyes of schoolmates, some grayheaded now, most "lie mouldering in the grave. And j anon, "the song my mother sang" j springs unbidden to the lips, and soothes and sweetens all these mem ories.

The honest man goes sing ing to his work, and when the day's labor is done, his tools laid aside, and he is on his way home, where wife, and child, and tidy table, and cheerful fireside await him, he can not help but whistle or sin: Dcy ain't no nigger on do top sido er kcration," said a colored man at Tennille, the other haud to the bandaged day, putting his head, "what can sing a hymn and put de gear on kickin' mule at de same time." Tho aiiniMter? Wife. The minister's wife ought to be selected by a committee of. tho. church. She should be warranted never to have headache or neural gia she should have neives of wire and sinews of iron; she should never be tired nor sleepy,.. and should le everybody's cheerful drudge; she shouhl.be cheerful, in-: tcllectual; pious, and domesticated, she should bo able to keep her has, band's house, darn tils stockings, cook his dinners, light his fire, and copy his sermons; she should keep up the style of a lady on the wages of a day-laborer, and be always at leisure for 'good woiks,'1 and ready : to receive morning calls; 6he should be secretary to the liand of Hope, the Dorcas Society, and the Home mission; she should conduct Bible classes and mother's meetings, should make clothing for the poor; and gruel for the sick; aud, finally, she should be pleased withx)vcry bodv and everything, and never de sire any reward beyond the satis faction of having done her own duty fand other people's too.

It incites the mother to butcher her help less child, helps the husband to massa cre his wife, and aids tho child to grind the parricidal axe. It brings shame, not honor; terror, not safety; despair, not hope; miserv, not happiness. With the malevplencc of a fiend it calmly sur veys its desolation, and msatiated with hnvoc, poisons felicity, kills peace, ruins morals, blights confidence, stays rcpu tation, then curses the world aud laughs at its ruin. It murders the soul;, is the sum of all villanies and curses, and is the devil's best friend. He bought a cheap coat of one of the gentlemen from Jerusalem, and he ob served next day that it was made of two kinds of cloth, or else it had faded from some previous wear and tear. He went to the dealer with fire in his eyes. The dealer looked at the garment without surpnse, and at the wearer with extreme wonder. "y, mine gootness!" he ,aid, ''you been wear de 7oat in de sun!
