The prey It y follws the blue

Nought that is changeless and true.
The sun sioks down in the West.
Th$ stars fade out in the morn.

Pales and dies like the rest.
IT NEVER COMES AGAIN.
These are gains for all our losses,
! There are balms for all our pains.
But when;youth, the dreams, departs
it iaKH something from our hearts.
I Ana it never comes againr
We are stronger, and are better,
Undtfr manhood's sterner reiff j :
Still we feel that something sweet
followed, youth with flying feet,
And will never come again.
Something beautiful is vanished.
And we sigh for ii in vain;
We behold it everv where.
On the earth and in the air,
But it never comes again.

' THE SONG OF A SUMMER.
l- i
jBY LOUISE CHANDLER MOULTOX.
I plucked an apple from off a tree,
Golden, and rosy, and fair to Bee
The sunshine had fed it with warmth and light
The dews had freshened it night by night,
And lilgh on the top most bough it grew,
Whenp the winda of heaven about it blew,
And njhile the mornings were soft and young
The wild birds circled, and soared, and sung
There, H the storm, and calm, and shine,
It ripened and brightened, this apple of mine,
Till the day I plucked it from off the tree,
Golden, and rosy, and fair to see.
How cptjild I guess, 'neath that daintiest rind,
That the core of sweetness I hoped to find
The innermost, hidden heart of the bliss
Which dews and winds and the sunshine's kiss
Had tnjded and fostered by day and night
Was black with mildew and bitter with blight :
Golden and rosy, and fair of skin,
Nothing! but ashes and ruin within ?
Ah ! neyer again With toil and pain
Will .1: strive the topmost bough to gain
Though jits wind swung apples are (air to see,
On a lower branch ia the fruit for me.
If kirees were a penny apiece,
And words a groat a score ;
Ajkisa for every twenty words,
And twenty in an hour
Visit the fair one twice a week,
' Apd stay from eight to one ;
Jtj jrould take, how long at that rate,
Tj) jspend a hundred pounds?
sf)pTIIERN SCHOLARSHIP.
Fo many years it lias been fashiona
ble infjijoine of the Northern colleges to
sneer at the Southern students as a roy-6terinJ-Bet,
who were of no account as
scholars and could hardly be endured for
their immo-alitips. l)r .fas Mrnnch tho
Scotch Uriah President of Princeton, ia of
a different opinion. At a dinner given by
the alumni of that college, in Baltimore,
recently, Judge Mason, at the close of an
eloquent speech, thanked Dr. Jas. McCosh
the President of the College, who sat at
his right, for the honor of his presence,
and ca led upon him to respond to the
toastjiPrinceton, Present and Future."
Thjb venerable and distinguished Presi
dent vjas warmly received, and after ex
pressing in cordial terms the pleasure he
felt ici (meeting the association upon such
a happy occasion, he proceeded to state at
considerable length the present condition
arid prospects of their venerated Alma
Mater,' giving an account well calculated
o satisfy the most ambitious of her sous.
In alluding to the devot'on to duty and
study which had characterized the stus
dehtsjat Priqceton during the past year,
he states that of the sixty students from
the sth of the Potomac, not oue had
given; him a moment's care, aud that not
one vas immoral. He further said that
during last session, the sixty students from
the south took more honors than the three
hundred from the north. The first three
horiorat thelate commencement at Princ
ton were carried off by young men of the
south j and three of the other nine honors
also fell to the lot of Southerners.
Nof satisfied with sustaining and up
holding the carpel-bag plunderers in
North Carolina until they have in
creased the debt of that State from $14,
000,000 to Over $38,000,000, the Gaxt
Administration now taking funda from
the p&blic treasury at Washington and
sendi it into that State as a corruption
fund.jj The Grant Radical robbers in
that State have an idea that there is a
little more left for them to stesl if they
have toother opportunity ; sa Grant tak
es the people's money at Washington and
endaj ft down there to help put his North
Carolina friends in a position where they
can steal all their is left. In return for
this favor they are to help Grant end
his military ring !
SALISBURY, N. 0,, AUGUST 2,
TO THE PEOPLE OF NORTH CAR-
j OLANA.
j. !
Fellow-Citizens : We address you
as Democrats and Conservativs, as Lib
era! Republicans, as honest men what
ever name or party, friends of republican
liberty and good government :
The gTeat political contest in this state
is about to close. It has been ardently
and zealously fonght on both sides.
On the one side, you see all the power
and official influence of the state and
federal gdvernirents through their vast
horde of oSce-hilders of every kind aud
degree brought into active and unscrupu
lous use to sustain themselves in control
of the money and immense patronage of
the government, not for the benefit of the
people who pay the taxes, but lor them
selves and the worst partisan purposes.
Iu this state, we have witnessed even
the unpatroitic and indertnt exhibition
of Cabinet minister on the hustings for
the avowed purposes of affecting the re
sult of our election in August as well as
that throughout the Union in November,
in their own favor, thus directly briuging
'the patronage of the government in con
flict with the freedom of elections."
On the other side are rallied the friends
of freedom, of honest, faihtful, intelligent
administration of public affair?, of econo
my and official integrity, of education
for all the people, of sound public credit,
of law and order, of local self-gpvernment,
of real civil service reform, f universal
amnesty and amity, and of all :he safe
guards of civil liberty, for sll alike, of
whatevery race or color.
In this great struggle, we are battling
for these high and essential principles of
tree government against disbenesty in the
public service, against fraui, corruption
and peculation in every department of
tbe government, against ignorance and
notorious official incapacity, against reck
less disregard of tbe lawn and constitutions
of the land, against centtailization of
all the powers of the government and the
absorption of all the reserred rights of
the States, of the Union, aid of the peo
pie through a threatened civil aud mili
tary despotism at Washington. These
are the imminent dangers which surrouud
as.
In such a contest we will not doubt the
decision of of the people of this State on
the 1st of August. This decision will
not ouly affect in its resulti the political
situation in this State for years to come,
but indirectly and morally that of the
whole Union. I The vote ol August here
will influence, in a greater or less degree,
that of the Union in November.
We therefore, urge every true-hearted
North Carolinian to do his whole duty in
this batile for freedom, for real peace and
good will between all tbe sections and es
pecially for the prosperity and happiuess
of our own people.
We are in a position to assure vou.
from full and undoubted information, that
if this is done.a glorious victory awaits
our cause on. Thursday next.
The news from every quarter of the
State is full of cheer and encouragement
tor our menus. Let every one of us, then
do his whole duty. Be active and earn
est. Be calm but vigilant. Let there be
no disorder, no violence, but let every
one see,; each for the other, that his rights
1 ... ' O
are maintained at tbe ballot box.
Let every ci izens, entitled to vote, be
free and unmolested in the independent
exercise ot tins high privilege. See that
no illegal vote be given, and that every
violation of the law is punished by due
process of law. Look out for attempts at
intimidation and gross frauds on the part
ot our adversaries. Challenge every ille
gal or doubtful vote. Kxamine closely
the registration books. See that you have
the right ticket and put it in the right
place. See that all our friends vote in
their respective townships. Work from
now till and on the day of election. Stand
firm, shoulder to shoulder, in defence of
your rights ; ai;d the sun will go dowi
on a glourious triumph for our cause
for free principles and good government,
when it sets on the 1st of August. Let
every friend of our noble cause and of
our good old State do his whole duty in
this great contest for the liberty of the
people aud all will be right.

PEACE AND RECONCILIATION.
The secret of the great political revolu
tion created in the country by thenomi-
nation of Horace Greeley lies in the fact
that lie is universally regarded as an earn
est, honest advocate of the policy of peace
and reconcilation in the Southern States.
The investigations of the Southern
Outrage Congressional Committee have
demonstrated to the Northern people tbe
existence of a state of things in our midst
of which they had not dreamed. It was
shown to the Northern people by the
plainest testimony that the fruits of the
policy hithei to pursued towards the South
were the suppression of all civil law and
the substitution ct the rule of tbe bayonet ;
an enormous crushing load of Public
Debt fraudulently and corruptly contract
ed ; the utter disregard of the right of lo
cal self-government and the prostration
of every branch of industry.
When the Northern people become
satisfied that all these evils really did
blight and curse the South and were not
merely the' creatures of disturbed imagina
tions or the exaggerations of dissatisfied,
rebellious, revengeful men, . they deter
mined that a policy which bore such fruits
should no longer be pursued.
Because of this determination and in
deference to growing popular feeling,
1872.
mmm uumtnaiea a a can
didate for the Presidency.
The South, with oi Jy a few exceptions,
accepted the right hand of fellowship thus
extended in the selection of the man who
was tue nrst and most persistent advocate
of a generous and magnanimous trt
ment of her people.
So strong was the desire on the part of
good men at the North to com to
tl.
renei of their brethom . P !
South, that when the National TW
cratic Convention met, Northern Demo
ciuis, yielding the prejudices of a! life
time, said to our delegates, "if vm, I
tlemen of the South think the nomination !

timore Convention demonstrates tW

em men mere ueither vain nor idle.
Every day the grat movement increases
in magnitude. In every State and in
every county, men who have hitherto
sustained the policy of punishment and
bloody retribution to the South, are join
ing the ranks of the Greeley allies.
The secret of all this, as we have said,
lies in the fact that Greeley is the expo
nent of a policy of peace and reconciliation
in tbe South, and that General Grant is
the exponent of that poliey which requires
for its execution the suspension of the
writ of Habeas Corpus, fraud, corruption,
and disregard of the right of local sell
government. Wilmington Journal.
OFFICE-HOLDERS MOVING TO
THE FRONT.
Mr. Boutwell led off in North Carolina,
as the spokesman of the Administration.
Other members of the Cabinet will follow,
to beg for a new lease of office. Mr.Dela.
no spoke a few nights ago in Alexandria,
and Ela, the Fifth Auditor of tbe Treas
ury, succeeded him on the same stand.
Rutherford, the Third Auditor, has gone
to North Carolina, and French, the Se
cond, absence to operate in Maine. Mr.
Robeson and Baker, Commissioner of
Pensions, are advertised for North Caro
lina, where Mr.Creswell is to reinforce them
with a stock of mail agents, and large
aisessments levied on mail contractors.
Every subordinate, who can in any way
contribute to tbe Grant ticket in that
State, is ordered on dnty, with bis ex
penses paid and a consideration from tbe
Treasury.
Such is the spectacle presented to the
American people. The President loiter
ing at the sea-shore, seeking personal
pleasure and neglecting public duty, his
Cabinet engaged in a partisan campaign,
chiefs of Bureaux electioneering, and
clerks detailed by scores for political scr
vice. Meantime, the great business of the
country is cast aside, t private interests
sacrificed, and the whole machinery of
Government, driven under high pressure
to re-elect a President, who sets this per
nicious example, and uses the public ser
vice to promote a sordid ambition.
Ib it arty wonder that the books of the
Treasury should be disfigured with era
sures, interlineation, and forced balances,
concealing euorraous defalcations and rot
tenness ; that corruption runs riot; that
fabricated claims are piid by millions ;
that jobbery has become a Radical pro
fession ; that collusion is flagrant and
that loos morals disgrace the public De
partments at home, just-as Butler, Cramer,
and the like, have dishonored one of them
abroad ? No restraint ia imposed license
swaggers unrepronched, and the highest
dignitaries of the State, who, from posi
tion and pride, if there were no better rea
sons, might be supposed to feel some in
terest in their trusts, are those who first
and most culpably initiated this demoral
izing system. Until they are swpt away,
reform is not possible. A change is the
condition precedent to improvement
Without there is no hope. Fortunately,
all the signs promise that this day is not
distant. When Indiana and Pennsylva
nia enter their solemn protects in October
next, against these disgraceful practices,
the death-knel of this imbecile Adminis
tration will have sounded. Washington

CHLORAL HYDRATE IN HYDRO
PHOBIA.
The Lancet for April 20 contains an
interesting account of hydrophobia, where
the disease was controlled, and termma
ted in recovery, under the use of hydrate
of chloral. I be patient was an active bus
iness man, about forty years old, who
had been bitten on the hand by bis own
dog some four or five months previous to
the attack. The wound was cauterized
at the time, and little more thonght of it,
until about a fortnight before the disease
developed.
i he patient states that be first telt a
pricking sensation abont that part of the
hand which had been bitten, followed in
two or three days by swelling, and a pain
striking up the whole arm, vhich after
ward became nnmb. These symptoms in
creased, nd he began to fail in health.
Shortly after being called in, the attend
ing physician, who relates the case, began
the administration of chlora! bydrate in
twenty grain doses After the third dose,
the violence of the symptoms began to
moderate ; the fourth dose was followed
by still greater improvement, and the
fifth dose put the sufferer to shep. This
soporific effect was kept op by giving the
same dose of the chloral at longer inter
yala. After the fifth day the chloral-hy
drate waa discontinued, and the quantity
tvken altogether amounted to 360 grains.
Wheri fit to travel, the patient went into
the country, subsequently returning able
to atteud to business.

PHOTOGRAPHING THE HEART'S
ACTION.
The movements ef liquids in th Ba
rometer and Thermometer, the passage of
pots across the Sun, the indications of
the Spectroscope, are registered daily by
the photograph. We now add to tbe
manr other duties performed by this
hand-maiden of Seicnce , that ofrcgUtcr
ing the action .of the human heart.
The device by which this result is at
tamed it tbe invention ofDr.Ozanam. It
consists of a thin ind

I resident tn 1853, succeeded to the Vice

So it seems that the rebil archive?, pur
chased by the Government for $7 " 000,
are to be published as a campaign doeu
ment by the Grant party. There has
been alteady a great deal of hitory
writing at public expense, of which the
must shining example is Mr. IUdeau's uc
of War Depart mt i. I record and clerk m
making liiarraim-nt work. But this rare
and cuiiou publication is a in v attempt
"to fire (he N'.rth rti heart" for the net
sum of $75,000. The s!r-nd-r prttrxt

might be exposed disappears. It is in
tended to re"pen the old sore again ; we
arc to have the city-bnruing, the well

business all retold, for fear people tniht
forget there bad been a war, and make up
their mind to live at peace with their
countrymen. Is this worth while! Mun

Wc must have no laggards, no slrsgi

want brave, fearless hearts in this ciiis.
Consider how much' is at stake. Con
sider your enemy's unscrupioos mods of
attack, his thoroughly unprnciplcd war

what havoc that enemy played with the

held power in this State. Consider th
fact that he endorses his old rascality and
prepares to perpetrate new ud more tla

Consider these things. Cau you con
