Thus and laid the foundation of that grand old community which baa ever been sueh an honor to the name of North Carolina. Whilst our beginnings in both Albemarle and Clar endon counties were thus almost exclusively English, we have received no other acces sion from that source of any consequence. Occasional settlers dropped in from various parts of the world, but so gradually as to be come lost in the treneral mass and leave no particular marks upon our aatioi-a! features. Tbe streams from which we were to derive our most marked characteristics were yet to come ; the Scotch, the Softah-Irish and tbe German. The colony of Swiss and Palatines under DeGraffentied was not recited and made no visible impression upon our blood, or manners. a The Scotch and Scoth -Irish are entirely different . and the Uttlgr do. tot, as the eas- nal reader might suppose, ariee from Scotch parents on one side and Irish on the other.

He that stands beneath the Cross and understands the scene, daro not sin ; not because there is a TWO HUNDRED YEAR8. after its discovery beyond the seaboard and its vicinity the greatest part of our country was still an unpeopled wilderness : for the tide of population in North Carolina and Vireinia kept nearly side by side in the march westward !

It must be obvious to every buyer that a strictly " Wholesnle House' arranged and adapted for that Trade only, with a corps of experienced Wholesale Salesmen, with a Stock carefully selected for that Trade only, and moreover, the avoidance of coming in contact with retail buyers, which we and yoa all have heretofore found to be so irksome, as it fre quently happens that the retail buyer is your .vsey neighbor, (perhaps your own customer).

'Diseases ia very various," said Mrs Partington, as she returned from a street door, in conversation with Dr. Bolus. "Tbe doctor tells me that poor Mrs. Haze I has got two buckshots on her lungs ! It is dreadful to think of, I declare. The disease is so various !

One great English steamer of the present day could with ease, have transported every inhabitant (white) of this colony with their sroods. including cattle, in 1070, seventeen years after the settlement began. The iin migrants landing at Castle uardeu every two years now. would people the whole State of North Carolina as thickly as it was peopled in 1G70. Such has been the growth of western civilization, with all its wealth and appliances. The charter of the people who settled and continue to inherit the State is worthy of the Siudeut's consideration. North Carolina owes less to foreign immigration than any of her sisters. Hers is almost a homogeu ious people. Her population is more nearly composed of those boru ia her borders, de scendants of her original settlers, than that of any other State in the American Uuion The census of 1870 shows that her total population is 1.071. 301, and of this number only 3.029 are of foreign hi th ! Not only relatively but absolutely less than tne same class of any other State. To prove that this is not an accidental enumeration, tbe cen sus show the number of persona born of one or both foreign parents to be bm 6.4C4 : and of persons born of both foreign parents, to be 4.328 the same proportion appearing in the census of 1860 and 1850.

Iu the many political canvasses which I have made, from east to west, I have never, to my best recollection, visited a country, however distant, without - being asked by some one shout his kinsman living in my country. If the blood revenge of the old Scotch clans were practiced now-a-days, it would fare ill with the manalayer who should attempt to conceal himself from his enemy's clansmen in this State. They would spring 1 from the earth around him m every direction as the men of Roderic Drudid about the path of James Fiti James. Where did those people come from t Who are they, and of what blood? These are questions al ways worth ssking and answering, though an excess of democracy has begot an un worthy indifference to the subject or a peo is one of the most striking and instructive episod- 9 in modern history. They became mighty in Ireland especially in Ulster, and from that province poni ed hip loads of emi grants iuto Norih America. They came mostly by way of Pennsylvania, and finding landa east of the Alleghanys difficult to ob tain, aud no settlements yet made west of that chain on account of French and Indian hostility, they drifted steadily southward. Leaving many of their numbers in Virginia, they finally reached North Carolina, and spread all over that beautiful ehampagne country from the Dan to the Catawba. Soon after these, aud by the same route, came our German settlers and located on the banks of the Yadkin and Catawba, covering all the beautiful rolling country between these streams, and far up the right bank of the latter in sight of the Blue Ridge. In agriculture, as a general rule, they have ex celled all our people, especially in thrift, economy, and the art of preserving their lauds from sterility.

No profound obser ver of h jman nature wilt ever estimate tbe capacities or conduct of a people a ithoot first looking at their genealogical table and noting the blood which flows in their veins. The first comers were English from Nsn- semond. Virginia, and their numbers were largely increased by (Quakers and non-conformists who fled from persecution in the parent Colony, which had established the Church of England as the State religion, and passed laws unfavorable to all other forms. This unhappy spirit of intolerance was tbe result of the Governor Council's attempting to show their loyalty to the home govern ment, whieh waa then a persecuting one, and forcibly reminds us of many wicked things of recent times, done also in the name of loyalty. It helped, however, to people North Carolina rapidly, and the rich low lands of the east received some of the best citizens of our State from that source. To the south, the county of Clarendon, embracing all the region of THE LOWER CAPS PEAR. the English again came, from Barbadoes, Carolina was not until 1753. i wo years before that date tboee of them living in Bethlehem, Pa., bought 100.000 acres of land from Lord Granville.

Although we . may acknowledge the Fatner with our lips, ' yet tbe heart may easily grow hardened, so that a subtle thought may nestle there and say, "All will go well, if the Lord do not interfere to mar our plana. Sometimes a man may trust in tbe rea sonable probability, or the hopeful pros pect, of reaching ueb and soch an end. When this is attained, ho thinks be shall be happy.

Thus it will be seen that tbe sources of North Carolina life were English. Scotch -Irish and German mainly, with minor streams of Irish, Swiss, and here and there a French Huguenot ; and with a very small immigra tion since the original settlements, our peo ple are almost exclusively their descendants. There baa beeu little or no exclusive feeling among these races ; they have married and intermarried until the casual observer can scarcely determine by any outward sign to what blood any owe their origin, except In a few localities where the old-land eustoms aod prejudices were longer observed in full force- It has been nui a lew years woo- wo Gospel waa preached to portions of our peo ple in both German and Gaelic Of the race which of ail these baa given mA.t anlne and tone to our society , and which furnishes the key to oar publie char aster the Sooth-1 rah. I shall speak more particularly in another paper. If. O. Ta sweet or comfit demands it, and to unaat- I rubbed round and round by the elder ato- ufied aud uncomfortable without it. The meals of children, no less than of a a a a a a a grown people, should ne ao regularly served, so skillfully compounded, that there should be snch a blending of beat producing and muscle-making food, that after a full meal the appetite should elamor for nothing an til tbe hour for tbe next meal cornea round. Most children love sweets, and, unless restrained, eat too freely of them. Sac charine, substances of all kinds contain only beat producing elements. Persons confined to anger at their whole diet, per ish from hunger elmoet ee soon aa those who eat nothing. A child fed upon cake and other sweet foods, which generaly contain very -little nitrogenous or muscle making substance, will toon after eating become hungry nd clamor to be fed. Let the child be gradualy and judiciously starved into a normal appetite, and then fed upon whfaten broad or oat meal mush and fresh milk from a healthy cow, with the ordinary vegetables of tbe season, and what he eats w ill be all he needs till meal time comes again. Stomach digestion to only a part of the process of assimilation. In from two to three bcura after a hearty meal the stom ach should be empty. Meantime bowel digestion is going oo, aod the blood to being reinforced, not from tbe stomach, bnt from absorption by tbe lacteal glands of thoae elements of nutrition not elimina ted from tbe food until after it paaaes into tbe duodenum and is mixed with tbe bile and pancrea'ic juice. Wbile bowel diges tion is going on the stomach has a chauce to rest. For children about fire hours between meals is a proper interval, and not unsuit able for grown people, though a longer time than that may elapse between dinner and topper. I be breakfast, many writers on health say, should bo the heartiest meal of the day, the dinner less hearty, and tbe supper light, ao that the boars of sleep shall find the stomach entirely at rest.

Tbey are absorbing all tea energies of tbe country, and give It no aid. In tbe cities are also to be hundreds and thousands of young seeking employment iu stores, lawyers' offices and other places, tn order to labor on tbe farms and plantations, of which are becoming wildernesses for tbe want of tbeir labor. It is a remarka ble fact that not one in fifty of tbeae ap plicants have either tbe capacity or quali fications to make merchants or lawyers, nor is such their purpose ; for tbey to have no further object, desire, or to get "a place" to avoid labor.
