HAYS WHO HAS Till Ell IT. AttMot ut.Ai.R, Kan., Aug. 28, 1839. Mkssrh. Kimtoks: Should any young urlh Carolinian of your acquaint ance express any desire to leave his na tive State and "wander 'mid strung alone" in the West, tell him to Ktay where he in unless he has murdered somebody or stolen somcthiti;,'. I have travelled over the hills nnd valleys, the flats and marshes of fourteen of the Southern and Western States, and lived in five of them, and bciug an observant man, my opinion should not be entirely valueless. Any intelligent youno while man with a fair record as to character, ha.- a finer opportunity to gratify any ambition be may have in North Carolina than in any other State I know, and for this plain reason- owing to the luck of foreign emigration into its borders, the vut business interests of the State arc dependent solely upon home talent for their devt luptucnt, support and the exe cution of their enterprises. The young men have uo competition for promotion except among themselves and the doc trine of the "survival of the fittest" ob tains there as elsewhere. Any individu al, therefore, has practically the choice of success or failure offered to him. Iu this country it is different; the yellow glare which California threw over the West in IS II) has not, to Eastern eyes, yet died down, the great silver mines of Nevada, the gigantic cattle interests of Dakota, Colorada and New Mexico, the romance attached to the cowboys' life, the wild adveutures and occasional suc cesses of miners and trappers all combine, to llnow a fascinating cloud over this vast region, nud bide the plain, unv. r nlshcd truth about the difficulties and uncertainties which beset the "tenderfoot" in his endeavor to earn a livelihood. The eonseipienec is multitudes of young men, liiuly equipped for the race of life, have been annually iiouriii.' into it for the last lifiecn years; the entire country is over run with uieti of every calling; for every place there are forty or filty applicant-; of course, only one gets in; the question , what becomes of the others? They must live somehow, t will give a few illustrations: I know a physician, a man of hue education and good manners, who after yeats of struggling with poverty in bis profession, is now working side by aide with negroes and ignoraut white men in a packing house. I know a young college graduate of high standing, who was admitted to the bar nnd essayed to practice; he is now standing ou a street corner distributing transfer tickets for a street car company. And thus it is in all other professions, trades and callings. Tin re is absolutely no room for more. The one grand requisite fur success out ere is a little cash capital to start with; that would instantly place a man ahead of his competitors, and give his abilities a hauce to display themselves; without it, the chances are ten to one his career will be wrecked, and he will go to swell the vast horde of tramps and bums with which the country is already inlcstcd. Thus you see North Carolina really ofhrs a better field to the energies ami ambi Hons of her children than they can hope find elsewhere. It is not only the nest place to tain lluir first little cash capital, but it is also the best place to invest it. It is true that at the present time, (his ountry has one great advantage over the South, but it is one which is fast disar peariug, and if given proper attention will soon he a thing of the past. It is the amount of Northern capital seek ng investment here. The great money kings of the Northeast are scattering their treasure all over this entire section boaulilung and enriching it with mag- nificaul bouses and immense factories and all sorts of industries and giving employment to thousands ol men and wo men; they have confidence in the resources of the couulry; they have coubdenoo in its institutions; and they cannot anora to let their money remain idle in North eru vaults. Some of these times they will feel the same way towards the South and that will be the beginning of a new era for you; the beginning of the second greatness and predominance of your Ood- favored land, but they no n i icoi so s yet; bard work and patience still lie be fore the people of the South, before they can convince the North that the country is a'ain one in sentiment and feeling s it is iu territory. I had no ,n' meinoty of the war was so (rush iu the mind of these people, vt niie uie cuuui em people have been hard at work trying to reclaim their beloved country from the ruins of war, these wealthy conquer era have been looking idly on and tlnult- : .b.aervnl all o their sunciiuh.

The little city of Winchester, Clark couuty, has been considerably excited for the past week over the announcement of the marriage of Miss Nannie l'ettieord, which was to tuke place to morrow. She is a tall, handsome lady of about 211, and during a visit to Missouri last summer won the affections of 0. A. Goodman of Hamilton, that State. Aftir her return home she and the above named gentle man kept up a correspondence, nnd their affection for each other grew into love, and from love into a m iriiige cngagc HiO' t. Tickets were issued, stating that their marriage would take place at the residence of the bride in Winchester, on Tuesday, Aug. 20, and one of the cards was sent to Thomas Jack-on, who was also a suitor for the heart and hand of Miss l'ettieord. Ou receiving the announcement he at once sought an interview with the lady, and between sobbing and tears, told her how he loved her, and that if he was not successful, tho shock would nearly kill him. This softened the heart of the young lady, and she then and there con sented to hold on to her fust love and canceled her engagement with the Mis sourian. She wrote him that her mind had been changed, and that she now loved another. Goodman, on receiving the announcement of her change of mind, immediately took the train for Kentucky, and arrived in Winchester a week ago. He, loo, sought an interview, with Miss Petticord, and with the same persuasion (crying), she promised to be his wife. Thinking he had everything his own way, Goodman weut to his hotel, but Mr. Jackson then called and made an other most affecting appeal, and her uiMid was ngaiti changed. This was kept up for a week, first one then the other being the victor, and the fatbeis of the two young men each of fered his sun a farm if he should be suc cessful. Pools were sold on the result, and nothing else was talked of in Win chester. On 1'iiday evening Mr. Goodman had an engagement to oall, but, while he was at supper, Mr. Jackson procured a mar riage certificate and a minister, and when Mr. Goodman arrived at the house they were man and wife. Paris experienced a similar wedding to ibis several years ago. A young lady, daughter of a tninhtcr, was engaged to four wealthy young gentlemen of this ouutry, and they all knew of her eu ageuieut to each of them. They were ill to appear at her residence on the day s.'t for the wedding, and, as she loved one as much as she did the others, their names were to be placed in a hat and drawn out, and the one that came out first was to get her. On the day set each man was there in a wedding suit, and the drawing hegan. the lust name was that of Frank Hibler, now deceased, i nd the wedding was about to take place when one of the suitors, shocked by his dis ippi intment, fainted, and lifter he had fully recovered the lady married him in prefircnce to the one that was drawn, Tliesucccs ful man is now the presidmt fa college on the Louisville & Nash ville railroad, not many miles from Louis- ville, and they have a most interesting family of children.

Seeing a story about old Stephen Gir- ard the other day reminded me of an in cident that shows one of his peculiarities. Girard had a drayman who was decidedly poor man. One day, the drayman, who was an industrious, bright fellow, with a good many mouths to fill at. home, was hoard to remark that he wished he was rich. What's that?" sharply said Girard, who heard the grumble. "Ob," said the man, "I was only wish ' I was rich." "Well, why don't you get rich?" said the millionaire harshly. 1 don't know how without money," returned tho drayman. "You don't need money," said Gir ard. "Well, if you will tell me how to get rich without money I wont let the grass grow before trying," returned the oth- ' There is going to be a ship load of confiscated tea sold at auction to-morrow at the whaif; go dnwn there and buy it in and then come to me." The man laughed. "I have no money to buy a ship load of tea with," he said. " You don't need any money, I tell you," snapped the old man. "Go down and bid ou the whole cargo and then come to me." The next day the drayman went down to the sale. A large crowd of retailers were present, and the auctioneer said that those bidding would have the privilege of taking one case or the whole ship load, and that the bidding would be on the pound. Ho then began the sale. A retail grocer started the bidding and the drayman raised him. Ou seeing this the crowd gazed with no small amount f surprise. When the case was knock ed down to the drayman the auctiomr said he supposed the buyer only desired the one case. "I'll take tho whole ship load," coolly returned the successful bidder The auctioneer was astonished, but on some one whispering to him that it was Giraid's man who was the speaker his manner changed, and he Baid he sup posed it was all right. The news soou proud that Girard was buying tea iu large quantities, and the next day the price rose seven cents. "Go and sell your tea," said Girard to the drayman the next day. The drayman was shrewd, and he weut out aud made contracts with several brokers to take the stock at a shade be low the market price, thereby making a juiek sale. In a few hours he was worth 8511,0110. (Uube-JJfMuerat. A HANDKERCHIEF SPECIALIST. AN AKFKCTINH INCIDENT HOW A 1IPSY III SIIANII KIKII.S THE OLD LADY.

Til K EFFECT IT HAD ON AN IMAGINA TIVE MINNEAPOLIS EDITOR. Such a smile ! It would frighten gloom from the tor ture of the toothache, and chase joy on the wings of the morning. It spreads out like an overflow at the mouth of the Mississippi, and sinks in like the depths of the ocean. With a countenance as solemn aud as homely us the sphinx, the smile breaks over it like the silver rift in a storm cloud, or a dancing sunbeam across the gloomy mouth of the Mammoth Cave, The whole man is transformed, and the murgue like shadows disappear in the glowing btightnessof the noon day sun. You can see that smile as it slyly twinkles and wriukles in the corner of the eye, then slyly steals downward and skir mishes along the expanse of cheek to the twitching lips, until it charges all along the line, captures the whole countenance and is lust in the mouth, which opens like a widening ctevice in the earth's surfuce, or the bellows of a church or gan. Such a smi'e would sit chill aud lone some on an ordinary mouth twelve or fifteen inches wide, but on this one it gambols like a frisky colt at play on a new-mown lawn, and with the sprightly luovemeut of a dog firmly attached by a tuil coupling to an ignited bunch of com mon crackers. It is none of your fair weather smiles, but one that gives a Gra-eo-Uoman tall to dyspepsia, and plants mirth on the face of sorrow in three rounds. It is a genuine brain-reaching risible wigglcr, H4 spoutaucoiH as a kilteu's an tics, lingering as an unpaid bill, mysteri ous as a woman's reason, suddcu as an unpleasant fact, leccptive as a babe's mouth, as infectious as smallpox, with the get-there of a bed bug, and would tickle an Indian cigar sign into hysterics. It scares sorrow, creates mirth, and throws out the longest pole to kuock off the laughter persimmon that ever con verted gloom iuto a sideshow or turned melancholy into a circus. It ebbs aud tlows like the occuu's tide and leaves as much trace on the place it travels over as the serpentiue fluttering of u feather ou a bald man's head. But its effect on the audience is like the opeuing of a spring, or peaches and cream to a hungry tramp. It first pass es over one like the mist of n gentle rain, gradually curls the corners of the mouth with the suddenness of an April shower, and finally bursts over the countenance like a raiubow of promise and merges into laughter that peals forth like the umble of thunder from the gentlemen, and sits enshrined in the exquisite dim ples on beauty's check like the glistening dewdrop on a shell pink rose. It is a ninth wonder, and stands upon the face of Dr. Talmage like Edmund Dante on his tiny island in mid-ocean, exclaiming "the world is mine. It is a grim winner with a blue tibbon tied to its tuil, aad drives away slumber, like a Minnelonka mosquito. It is a giin that would make a monkey laugh, and waft a breeie through a bab oon's whiskers. Pit. 1!en.i. Ph. laud, druggist at Au rora, Mo , says: I sell a great quantity of S. S.

THEY CAN TAKE THEM IN EVERY TIME AND NOT HALF THY. Flirtation has been brought to the highest degree of culture at Old Orchard. A young man from New York arrived there at noon lime one day last weelr and after getting his baggage into his room he took a chair on the front piazza and began gazing down toward the vast expanse of sail dotted sea with its low lying shores edged with foam. To the aeh from this hotel it is an unobstruc ted half mile and a plank walk runs from the lintel steps tot lie bath houses. Our young man declares that a sharp little ill of 10 detected him ou the piazza when she opened the door of hir bath room half a mile away. She walked straight up that walk with her eyes fixed on him, and as she came near, be dis covered that she was a clever ami line- king creature, with unburn hair and brown eyes Ho followid her with his aze as she moved up the steps, and she wore a short half smile ou her pretty mouth as she steadily returned his look. When she reached the middle step she sank on ine knee with a little try of paiu. The young man sprang to her as sistance, asking if he could be of auy ser vice. I have turned my ankle," said the girl. Oh ! it hurts so ! Ian you take my hand, please? Thanks." Aud with the assistance ot the young man the fair creature litupc 1 up the steps and sank into the first chair that was come to. Ol' course the young man lingered aud spoke many solicitous words of sym pathy, finally drawing a chair up near girl sitting down liimselt. It was bathing hour and the hotel was prac tically deserted, so these two sat chatting away about spraiued ankles and liniments until the crowd came pouring buck Iron the beach. All the girls look with en vious eyes at the little fairy who had turned her ankle aud wondered who the stylish young man she was talkiug with could be. Dinner time came and sud denly tho girl jumped up fr u her chair. I must go now and have my hair fixed for dinner," said she. "I shall see you again, sba'l I not ?" and she cast upon him a look ot hope that he would not forsake her. I sincerely hope I shall have that pleasure," he replied. Ihen lliellirt went prancing oft iu a manner which showed that her ankles were iu pirfect condition, ltccuviring her presence of mind at the doi r she turned with a mischievous and coquet tish look toward the astonished young mju u ml limped out of sight, shrugging her shoulders a- she went. A HAUNTEO SPOT. THE MYNTKIUOIS SPIRIT OF MYRTLE POND IN (IKORtllA THE STORY. There is a lonely and sequestered spot in the woods atoutid Bruuswick, where no negro man, woman or child will dare be found. Iu what is generally known as Fulton's iisture, mar Dixillc aud facing the boulevard, is a pi nd of stagnant water, the surroundings of which are all sug gestive of quiet and (olitude. The sur face of the pond is dot lid with small clumps of saud, upon which a myrtle bu.-h grows. The pond itself is about alio yards iu circumference, with an average depth ofeiie and a half feet. It is said that no negro will go near this pond at any hour of the day, and iuvesiigatiou has proven this statement lo be true. Upon iiuestioniug oue of these prejudiced darkies, a reporter learned the following cause for shunning it by the colored people. Way back yonder lu the early pari 1 the year 18li'J, a young negro girl was sent by her mother to gather wood in the neighborhood of the pond aud she never returned Search was made li r her. but nothing was found eiecpt her wide brimmed hat, which was found floating ou the stagnant water. The community was aroused and turned out en masse' lo find the mi-sing child. Tlu-y failed to find her. One dark night, about oue year after ibis strange disappearance, a lime no fi.-lurmuu landed at the bluff, near where the boulevanl bridge now stands, and gatheiiug up bis i ars, oarlocks and the few fish he had been fortunate euougn to catch, I roccodod on his way homo. It hi ing considerably ucarer for him lo "cut" through these wood', he did so aud had to pass directly by the pond h questioii. As he picked his way care fully through the underbrush, Ins keen sighted eyes iieciing eagerly through the darkness, a strange sound met his ears. It was the voice of a child, singing some wciid and discordant notes of a well known plantation air. The fisherman paused and listened. It seemed as if the source of the song was drawing nearer, At last, almost paralyzed with fear, the old negro called out : "Who's there?" The song suddenly ceased and an an swering voice was heard : "The spirit of Myrtle pond." So weird and unearthly was the swer that the old negro turned and ran in the direction from which he came, while the ghostly music was resumed. The fisherman reached his cottage by s more roundabout way that night, and his family, in their humble cot, listeued to his recital of the thrilling experience he had passed through. The story spread until It was general talk auioeg the superstitions negroes, and net one dared approach the pond.
