Avery, of Burke cwunty (ieo Davis, of New Hanover 1st District W. N. II. Smith THE adopted birds. BT rev. jobs TODD, D. D. “Switch, switch,” went the scythes, as the men, early in the morning, were mowing the tall grass Round the tield they went, not minding the grass- hoopers that leaped in terror, or the meadow-mice that scampered, in the thickest grass. By and by the owner of the field came to them, when one of the men pointed to a little stick which he had stuck in the ground, and said with a laugh, ‘‘we cut all before us.” “No harm, I hope.” “Nothing of consequence. But see!” The gentleman went to the stick, aud there found a poor meadow-lark, with her head cut off by the scythe. She was on her nest keeping her little young birds warm, and thus the scythe took her lite. Faithful mother! The gentleman took up the nest, containing four vrry small featherless birds. What to do with them he knew not. So he carried tliem home, and un his way he recollected that near his house was a taithful old robin, which had made her nest in the cherry tree, and also that she had just begun to set. On reaching the tree, there the robin was, to be sure, and he well knew that she must have her own way. So he watched her. In a few hours she flew off to get her food. The moment she was out of sight the gentleman climbed up and took out the four little blue robin eggs and put the four little larks in their plaee. Again he took his place to watch! In a short time Mrs. Robin came flying back to her nest. She went stiaight to it, and was ju.st going to hop into it, when she looked in. She raised her wings and stood in utter amaze ment. A few moments ago she bad left eggs, and now they were birdal She stood and looked, turning her head one way and then the other, and seeiniug to scan them very closely. After her amazement had gone past, she flew off, and in a few moments came back with the male robin. Then they both poised themselves one on each side of the nest, and looked in most earnestly, with raised wings. Sure enough it was even so! They were birds and not eggs! Then they began to chatter, a.s if talking the matter over and ex plaining the btate ot things. How they looked, and peered in, and talked! Alter a while they tlew off in great haste. The gentleman feared it was ail over with the little orphans. But no! In a very tew minutes they both returned, each bringing a worm, with which they began to feed them! They had adopted them, and trom that hour they took care of them and raised them. Doth God lake care of birds? Y'^es. And he has pro’.nised to take care of his people and their lit tle orphan children, as birds take care of their voun".—»S'. *!>’. Times. •Jd Thomas Rutfin 3d T h McDowell. 4th " A W.

EDW’D SPE.\R.MAN, 1st Lieut. July 1, 1861. By-and-By.—Somewhere down the stream of Time on which we are floating, is a beautiful island, called the By-and-by. It may be just before us Ijeyotid the next turn of the river, or we may not tiad it until the fttream disembogues itself into the ijceaa of eternity But we all look tor it, from iiilanc3’ to old uae, and dream that all evil will be banished, when we arrive at the beautiful is-land—By-aud-by. All day we tloat down the turbulent stream; the blue color of heaven burns above us; the un- taihomable depths yawn beneath us; the myste ries of God and immortality stream in upon us I with their awful splendors, and truths that have 1 confounded the loftiest intellects—truths that iu { all ages have roused up the soul from its founda- ! tions, baptized it with reverence, aud kindled it with love—environ us with their intensity, and I all thoughts ot the island are banished from the 1 mitul. But when the solemn grey of twilight ] lall.s around our bark, in fancy we see its magical ! shores, green with trees of beauty, flitting before j us like a star over the broad shadows of years, I and our longings all return to wander on its fairy bank.s and listen to the silver voices of its inhabi- : tants. And as the rosy flush of day fades in the west, and the watch-stars open one after another their holy eyes, we go to rest in the happy belief that the morning sunrise will gild this immortal land, full in our vision; this clime we have sought au long and vainly, and whither have fled all the lost summers of our youth, which we besought with tears to stay, j A land ot promise is that By-and-by. In it we I all have rich pos-sessions, the anticipated enjoy- i ment of which alone renders life tolerable. The j past has proven a weary way, the present is full of i thorns and beset with dangers, but in the golden ■ By-and-by there is a recompense for all. There the broketi heart shall be healed, and the weary spirit find a rest. \V ho would sell his birth-r'ght I ill this land? Though poverty, gloom and deso- I lation environ us here, we have both wealth and i health and loving friends in that fair clime. I How eagerly we look for that island! If it i were laid down on any chart, no matter how dia- : tant^ so that we knew it would surely come, we ' should be satisfied in ilie prospect. But no Ari- ! adne comes to reveal its labarinthine secrets, and ; we must rest content in its anticipation, and TO THOi^E WHO OWE TIE. IHAV^E a very large number of notes and accounts, i possess it only in our dreams, and some of long standing; and I now am in want of i MONEY, and hope those whom 1 iiave so long favored, 1 will call ami pay me. Those who have open accounts will ; pay them if possitile; if not, close them by note, as I am ' anxious to close them up early. By attending to tliis notice you will greatly oblige ALEX.

HALE & SONS An Ejrtlbnit Movement.—We ob.^erve in some of our Southern exchanges a statement that is well worthy of the attention of our merchants. It is that agents have been despatched to Eng land, France and other European commercial countries, for the purpose of effecting arrange ments at leading points over there for extensive purcha.‘es of good.s to be shipped to certain South- j ei n ports as soon as the war ceases. This is a I very good step taken in the right direction, and ! if generally and vigorously followed up by South- j ern merchants will rapidly speed us on in the ; career of commercial independence in which we are embarking. We take it for granted that the last link which I bound us to the North is broken, and that forever henceforward the people of the two sections will I hold the relations of foreigners towards oneanoth- j er. This being a “fixed fact,” our highest inter ests require that we should trade no more with the Yankees. We are lor a clean sweep.
