In perwirc dream, at ttriliphr, Mabel eat : Her mien, the amber of declining dar In pleaaing unta portraya love'a imprem there; And picturea thought in all iu wondrous waj. ; ' i; The fairert tilly mingledwith the Rose, Would typify her sareetjy smiline face Warm tn her cheeks the health ofgirlhood glows ttu cuerry up ner perfect Tiaage grace. The gloomy Hemlock high on yonder knoll In darkened outlines marks the airy flight Of yonder snowy fowl that bears aloft Her plighted Jove Vub- pleasure and delight, The mifwive gone was not in wanton haste; Fair Mabel knew the freaks of young-love The hasty brush may mar the progress gained, And thus its errors on the can rasa tell. Stir, there she saf, while twilighulnk to night ; fehe waits the faithful messenger's return : Could she nugur the sad, responsive words, , She would not haste life's destiny to learn. The trusty bird true to jit's calling flew To carry for its mistress Love's sacred prize; As faithful to her friend as if it knew The love that in each silk-bound missive lie?. Ere twilight ceased to gild the distant hills, And it mellow glow fade from Mabel's brow. She sees her feathered friend in humid flight With beating heart she asks, whstf message now? With eager hands she grasps the wonted note, And hastens to undo its silken ties; Though death hath placed thereon his gloomy seal, j Still unrevealed the mournful message lies. I "Adieu dear friend; before these dying words" She reads, "shall reach thy thrice happy door, All that resxnd in thy unsullied love, Shall be to Mabel, and to earth, no more !" Alas! Alas! poor Mabel ceased to read ; A darkness stoie across her weeping eves; And in the faint of death, hef pallid form Had swooned her spirit to her lover flies! Though Alfred weeps his Love to leave behind 10 urain me bitter cup ot lite alone; But to his joy, while in the spirit-land, She whispers, in death am Jyour own." Grim Monster death ! the great unsated fiend, now many vows are broken by his deal ; Still discontent with Alfred's earlv dpnth Hath placed on Mabel's heart his blackened seal !

He was familiar with that great wagon trade from the west, which, like rich Aigosies had once thrown the fruits of the labor of the WcsMnio the lap of Fayetteville, adding daily immense treasure to the wealth aud prosperity once so fully enjoyed by her measured wQrds-and with deliberation, 1 chasm of war, and move on together, merchants and her whole community.

At the former splendid Tolonteer companies, nobleyonng men, from this brave old town and county among the first to appear at the Capital of yopr iotate, fully armed and equipped aud ready to die for the cause of Southern Independence and local self-government a cause kliey believed to be right though overwhelmed' with defeat and disaster, only by the power of superior number and reeou)-cejs. How gallantly they maintained our cause on the battle field, and alas! how many of them, bravely gave up their lives in ;the bloody fight you all too well and tooj sorrowfully know. And roost fearfully have ycu suffered for your devo tion to principle and patriotic duty ! Your beautiful and flourishing city was laid in ashes your country desolated your peo ple impoverished oppressed, and worse than allj humiliated, by the domination of ignorance Incapacity, corruption and the bad influence ot men, strangers and aliens in interest and sympathy to us all, who ciroe :to plunder and to rob an impover ished conn tiy and to fatten on the spoils of a conqtired people. To add to our deep mortification, we have seen this thieving,! dirty work of the carpet-baggers, urged on and aided by some of our own native population, for the miserable sake of office and avarice and a most inglorious ambition; In common, with the true and noble people of the South, yon have borne all this with the most patriotic as well as patient jendcrance, a philosophic endur ance which has challenged aud won the admiration of the world, among civilized nations, -and even the wonder, if not the praise of our enemies at home and abroad. (Applause.) At: the first mtment that yon had a chance since the war, you triumphed, in this city atid county, over all the power and patronage of the government, most unscrupuotisly used against you, in the election of onr most excellent Conserva tive ticket in 1870, which did you so much honor and useful service in the last Leg islature. And again in the great contest of this year on the 1st of this month, against still greater odds, and a still more unscru. pulous use of government patronage and influence, you succeeded in yonr county ticket, and especially in the triumphant re-election of one of the moat active, in telligent and useful and working members of the Senate of North Carolina, your patriotic fellow-citizen, Wm.

Great applause and cries of that s right and we'll have it so. ill you quietly submit to fraud, and the nttcr dcetiuction of the elective franchise, lies at the very foundation of yourliberties? no, never J. ell, then, do you umnnd an investigation into these frauds bv the Legislature ? We do. You are right, fellow-citizens, and I tell you now, that if you quietly submit to these great outrages on the ballot and gross violation of the elective laws, you will never have a fair and free election in North Caioliua. Good people will turn away in despair, if not disgust, with this great bulwaik of our liberties, as it ought to be, and would be, if honesty supported and maintained in all its strength and purity. Applause. No, fellow citizen?, we cannot, we must not, as freemen and patriots, submit to these outrages on the ballot, if wc wish to maintain our liberties, whenever a fair and just ground for iuvestiga'ion h laid before the Legislature. The ballot must be kept not only pure but unsuspected. ApplauseJ. We have cause, therefore, my fellow citizens, to rejo;ce and congratulate each other over what has been done. But onr work is not all yet done. We roust now clear the decks for the great figbt in No vember a fiiht for Constitutional libera ty, honest administration, local self gov eminent against central desuostism, for peace and good will against strife hatred legislative war, and all the imminent dan gers which now threaten the liberties o our countrv.

Iu the. other, a great civilian, scholar, politician, statesman. philosopher, everything in lact.buta war rior, who is not only not needed in times of peace, but without knowledge in civil flairs, is a great misfortune to a Repub lican government.

Iu his high office, he will neither steal, take, presents, for himself or family, or allow others, under his control, to do so We will at 1-ast, all feel that we have an honest administration and that is a great deal in these degenerate times. You all know how we have suffered from dis honesty in pablic affairs in North Cam lina. ("I reckon we do, and paid for it too.") There is great comfort in this pros pect. Besides Mr. dreeley is a very re maikable man for ability, his knowledge of public affairs aud public men his wisdom and great experience.

Perhaps no man in America, now living, has so impressed his character aud opinions on the mind of this country or age, as honest Horace Grcely. The judgment of posterity will do him this high honor. I wish I had litre to say more about him. I know him well. I served in Congress with him. His very eccentricities of opiniou are all on his side of virtue and humanity and in sympathy for the good f mankiud. In time of war, while he was for its vigorous prosecution as long as it was inevitable, he was always the friend f peace with the South, and made no secret cf his opinions. Aud when the bloody sliife closed he was op enly, iu his first utterances, for mercy and magnanimity, and he declared his opin ions and his faith, in the face of the world, by deeds of courage, generosity and stat manship and real friendship for the oulh aud its leaders, that no other Northern man dared to exhibit.

T B" WHCr" w" M suppose was not materially different from the general state of other country towns.) I will attempt to describe. Id ths win- J ter season the dinners were generally oni- lorm ; me am course was a dish of broth generally called porridge ; these generally bad a few beans in them, aud some dry summer savory scattered in. The second courts was an Indian puddinr wKh sauce iu inira was a aub or botfod pork and bevf, with round turnips for sauce. Po tatoes were then a scarce article, ihrre bushels being considered as a very large crop ; and I waa a considerably larce lad before I ever saw a potato as atv hen's eee. For auDoers and brVf,.t. they general!y bad a dish of the same broth, those who had milk which were not many in the winter; bad that with toasted browu bread or roasted anrdeafor breakfast, and hasty pudding for sapper. For an exchange they sometimes had a basin of sweetened cider with toasted bread in it, with a piece of cheese. On Sabbath day morning ihey renerallv had chocolate, coffee,' or bohea tea; the choco late and coffee sweetened with molasses, the tea with brows sugar; wiih it they had pancakes, doughnuts, brown toast, some sort of pie some of all of them. Dinuers they had none; but immediately after the afternoon service they had a supper, a roast goose or turkey, a roast spare rib or a stew pie and this was the common course through the winter season. In the spriug and summer they generally oo week days had milk for supper and breakfast. For dinners (then potatoes were generally gone and round turnips were too piihy to tat) they ued French turnips till greens came, and then-' greens were used for sauce till peas and green beans were ready for rse. As for flour it was a thing unknown; at that lime 1 doubt there ever having been a barrel of flour in the town. Every farmer broke up a piece of new ground and sowed it with wheat and turnips, and would raise from five to fifteen bushels of turnips. 'I'l.i. -.1 .U- a ma wuen oy iuc ncip oi inc save was a substitute for flout . In general, men, old or young, who had got their growth, had a decent coat, vest and small clothes, and some kind of fur l't the - t Lty4-f an4 would last half an age ; old men had great coat and a pair of boots, the boots generally lasted for life ; for common use they had a long jacket or what was called a fly coat, made something liko our snr- touts, reaching down about half way the thigh ; a striped jacket to wear under it with a pair of small clothes like the coat. These were made of flannel cloth fulled. but not sheared ; flannel shirts and stock ings and thick leather shoes ; a silk hand kerchief for holydays, which ould last ten years. In the summer lime a pair of wide trowsers (now out of use) reach" ing half way from the knee to the ancle ; shoes and stockings were not worn by the young men and but by few old men iu farming business. As for boys, as soon as they were taken out of their petticoats 1 a a m lliey were put into small cl tlies, winter or summer. This continued until long trowsers were introduced which were then called tongs; they were but little differ ent from our present pantaloons.

Yoang men never thought of great coats, and surtouta were then un knot n. I recollect a neighbor of my fa ther's who had four sous between 19 and 30 years of age ; the oldest got a pair of boots, the second a surtout, the third a watch, and the fourth a pair of silver buc kles.

The sleeves were short, and did not come be low the elbow ; on holy days ihy wore one, two or thiec nifties on each arm, the deepest of which were sometimes nine or ten inches; they wore long gloves coming up to the elbow, secured by what were called glove-tightens, msde of horse hair -Round gowns had not then com in fash ion, so they wore aprons, made of check ed linen, cotton, and for holy day use, ot white cotton, long lawn or cambric. 1 hey seldom wore caps hen shout their ordi- L . .1 t Lin!.. in miwir in fa dress: one was called strap cap, which esme under the chin and was there tied : ihe other was called round cord cap snd did not come over lbs ears. nary business, oui iucj uu i - 'uuri'rtihf unccti mnuibn i,u i one of which they wore when ihey meant 'fbre tltv found the clerk bu.
