From communications that come to us,
vre ate pleased to know, that the public
y appreciation of tlie Economist's Poet,

ai-e neither a Poet, nor the son of a Poet,
npr the grandson of a Poet, therefore we
have, of necessity, to determine the merits
; 0$ poetry by a physical test, thusly. We
t plitce the piece before us, witli a watch by
Subside of it and as we read, w apply
! the 'fourth finger of the right, hand over
: (he pulsating vein of the left arm, and
uount tlie pulsations of the heart, as we
1 proceed. We thus have a thermometri--cal
measurement of merit. Tried by this
test, Zib's "Beauregards" raises the beat
rapidly up into the 90's, and leaves the top
of the head hot. Basing our opinion on
tlis unerring' test, we pronounce "Beaure-
gatds" equal to any offspring, at any time,
of the North Cardlina brain. It is a "gem

A stalk of 'white Rye, nearly four feet
in height, raised by Col. John S: Burgess,
from seed furnished by the Patent office,
through Hon. C. L. Cobb, was presented
by R. B. Creecy. Various enquiries were
made in reference to its advantages as a
small g&in crop, its, adaptability;- to our
soil and climate, its productiveness, its
uses as a farm product, its market valije,
cost of seed, time and mode of. sowing

raised in the mountauvregions of Virginia,

in the corn, as it is laid by. "' Hogs fatten

have seen it, it woukl, probably, not an

About a peck, to the thousand corn bills

fame as pats, and it is looked! upon as a
pretty certain crop. . It is, sometimes also
used for bread, and I think, in Elizabeth
City, it is used for that purpose, by our
German- population. Its market value,
per bushel, is more than corn and less
than wheat, .usually half wag between the
two. ' . ' .
G. W. Charles: I once purchased a

tion of the Society. It was read and ex
amined section by section and after some
amendments was adopted by: a voe on
each1 section seperately, "and then !asa
whole. "T he committee tftis then directed
to obtain a charter ofuicSrporation with
out delay; and report to the Club the pro
gress .of their labors, f
The Secretary, Mrj Nash, then read a
circular communication from the Execu
tive Committee of the' National Agricultu
ral Congress, to be held in St. Louis on
the Stfth inst, inviting the co-operation of
the Elizabeth City ! Farmers Club inj that
great National Agricultural movement.
On motion of Mr. Creecy, the President
was directed, in case: no member of the
Llub should represent us in that congress,
to appoint a proxy. Upon an intimation
from the! President that he would like the
sucrjrestioh of some name, as a suitable
proxy ylr. Creecy mentioned, that hej had
neard. 01 a man wno uvea, ne oeuevea,

would answer. His name was Gratz

was "understood to receive the endorse

berof the Club. fs , ' .
This matter being disposed of? the
President called the attention of the Club
to the I .subject, agreed upon at the last
meeting, f for primary consideration at
this, and suggested thafbrother Hollowell,
who always brings to tlie Club good fruits
from the jstore house; of his own practical
experience," give some .account of -the way
in which he gets together the huge mounds
of manure that we see about his fields. -Mr.-

LETTER FROM PERQUIMANS. ;
To Tim 'Economist": j i 1 . .
We have never had, a more important
campaign before the. people 6f North Car
olina, than theone just ahead of us, especi
ally when we consider the. National inter
ests which will be involved in the Presidenti
al contest. We caa not better subserve
our National "interests than by putting
out our best men and exerting our full ef
forts upon the State Ticket; We can rely
with confidem e.upon the wisdom and sagacity-of
the Greensboro contention and if
this is followed up by prudence apd earn
est work in the counties, and Senate! dis
tricts, we! can reasonably 'expect a trium
phant campaign, which will settle North
Carolina politics, for years in the best in
terests of her citizens M
We have' just finished up. in the short
period of .three-days, the business 'of our
Superior Court-a most flattering evidence
of the good order and harmony of our
society, but exhibiting a discouraging pro
spect for theionorable profession of the
Law. The charge of "his new honor' to
the Grand Jury was very good and. his ,j
warmth in its- delivery seemed ominous
of "terror i to evil-doers." . ' .'
I have heard a very general wish ex
pressed, which ' I hope will not be disap
pointed, that the Economist may be re
presented at our District convention in the
person of its Editor, and if so, that, with
tlie nurricroiis and able staff which is un-
Her his command to assist him, something
more may be done to make its influence
and usefulness felt throughout the entire
State, in the coming campaign.

. Truly, &c, : . ". ,.
- Beecher on Wealth. .
itev. Henrv Ward Beecher preached a
senrion recently "on the deceitfulness of
riclies, taking as his text a pak of the 22d
verse of the 1 3th chapter of 3atthew:
And the deceitful men of riches choke
the "world." We are not to interpret, he
said, the New Testament as being adverse
to riches, and .a tlie Old Testament it was
distinctly recognized as a divine blessing ;
it whs the sanction whichJod gave to a
life !of virtue, and the New Testament does
not jcontradict this; It only seems to show
- that it is the dariiages that attend the in
casttiminate lpve of tiches that we are to
guard against. I Godls providence the
development of riches for the advance
ment of human society. This cannot be
dented that the ways of obtaining money
havj been- the means of" obtaining man
hood ; tl?at it has blessed the world with a
civilizing power bearing the seeds of knowl
edge ripened in one age into other lands j
and! although there are many corrupting
evils in commcrce,"yet'im the whole it has
been an evangelizing element in the world.
An! although individual hjen may siuTer
from the acquisition of wealth, communl
tleslnever do ; although riches may not be.
necessary for the individual, they, are
riecpssary for' communities, for large
bodies of meni In our day the produc--tiori
of values is education,land more men
are 'called to .earn riches than eVer before.
Iti Can no longer be said that merchants
are la class." J Every man is seeking wealth.
It pervades society from the Ytop to the
bottom. Everybody is more or less a pro
duc er, and the desire for riches is widely
spread in this land more, than any otheiv
Th( re is a larger amount of property in it
per capita j than in any other country on
the globe. ' The nature of our institutions
tends to wake men up ; ye have no class
distinctions,; and the distinctions which ex
ist are those which men riiake. In the few
we liave of earning or skill In art .or of
wealth every man feels that he has a right
to particlpate in, and there Is a race for
wealth because it is the easier way, to dis
tindtion. Indeed, there .is danger that
those professions- which pay but slenderly
wlll be abandoned, while all those ways
which have their insignia written in letters
of gold arc absolutely choked with men
determined to be rich. The anlbition 01
the! young is" turned towards money-making!;
all seek It because all see how mighty
an instnimeint It is in the hands of men.
Now, we are not to relinquish this pursuit
of yealth ; when you consider that it is the
production of the active forces of life ; that
it is the reality of soil or substance ; when
you know its power for education,' for
material growth' ;. therefore, when you
kriw how much it can serve every materi
al interest, and even religion itself, we are
notj to stand and inveigh against riclies ;
we;are n6t to warn the young men against
desiring, to become rich. It may be that
tool many are heeding, tlie cry, but we are
fEhput Into the minds of the thousands of
Lapir-ants of wealth. the warnings 01 uod as
to the dangers lrinlie way that they - may
be j vigilant in guarding gainst theni.
There are 'men in, Wall street that I be?
lievje stand very near to the heart of JeSis'
Christ. God secsf that ttiey are standing
firm- amid great temptation, li a niaft
has been more successful than others : if
he lias passed successfully' several com-
'.mercial revulsion, how proud he is oi it.
lid holds up his head like a prince, and
says, "I have never failed." Yes, he has ;
for! a man like this has gone into univers
al bankruptcy. The poorest man in1 the
world is the man that tricks his fellow-man
at the fewest points, and the richest is he
who has the most sympathy with all the
conditions Of human life. He is like the
grejat trees that never feed on one root,
butj whose roots spread all abroad to tlie
north, -the south, the' east, and the west.
Suppose such a tree should say, Dry up
all jmy rots to the north, east, south and
west, and leave me only one straight down
In die ground ;t suppose such a tree should
bo4st Itself among trees ;" when the whi
tens blast came they would remain secure,
while it would lie prostrate, having no
hokl upon the earth but the single 'root.
Mrj Beecher closed by adjuring his hear
ers! to strive for riches with the feeling that
God was giving it to them In trust for the
welfare, of their fellow-men, and to so use

Frogst
BY E.
Frogs f are very curiouV. creatures, I
neqd hardly tell you liow- they can live
equally well on land and water, nor how,
when they are little, they are not frogs at
all, but tadpoles, with, -tails and without
fee,; swunming j about like fishes, and
never venturing out of tlie pond. Every
little boy or girl knows about this already,
so I will leave out all descriptions of frogs,
which I am sure you would skip as being
too dry, and tell you some funny stones
about them J
I would never think of taminc a fro?
for la pet. But I have read Of a manjwho
took a fancy to a big bull-frog that he
found sitting every1 day oft the same log
wqen he was fishing m a lake. He gave
hini a daily breakfast of .sun-fish fbr weeks,
until the frog became " quite tame, add
would jump into the boat tobe fed, and
at last permitted himself to be handled.
Th man called his' frog Ralp, and he
knew his name verv well. When the man
W " - Tf - . V
left that part of the country he . gave Iiis
M. M. i' " .1 i 1 T i
one; night there ;came up a storm m the
lake, the house they had built fdr him was
upset, the frog gone, and nothing was
ever heard of him again. Perhaps he did
not! fancy a change of owners.
An Englishman named . Dr. Roots tells
of a frog who made himself at" home in
the 'kitchen of his house, and for three
years came out every day, particularly at
meil-time, to be fed. When winter came,
instead of crawling down into the mud
and going to sleep until spring, as all the
fros do, he came regularly every evening
anq made directly for the hearth in front
of a good kitchen fire, where he would re
main and enjoy himself in the warmth
until the . family retired. An intimacy
sprang up between him and the 'family
catj The frog would nestle under the
warm fur of the cat, while the latter was
very careful about "disturbing his comfort
and convenience. .
Besides the frogs which are found so
pleiityfully in marshes and pools, there is
another frog which lives in trees. It has
the; reputation of being .somthing of a
weather prophet, by always singing before
& ram. I nave, on some few occasions,
known these frogs to utter false prophe
cies, still I believe in general we may look
for rain with tolerable certainty when they
it. . - ! - . -
A man' traveling . in Germany once
caught a dozen tree-frogs for the purpose of
taking them home to England-' lie put
'them in a bottle and stowed . them away
for safe keeping in the box of the coach.
entered the coach at ? night and very
himself and his traveling companion,
"sleepy okl smoke-dried Germans," drop
ped
off to sleep and snoredihe night away.
"1
suddenly awoke." he says, "with a start.
and
found all the sleepers had been roused
at
thfe
same j moment. On ' their sleepy
faced
were depicted- fear and anger.
Wha
had woke us all up so --suddenly?
The
morning was just breaking, and my
frogi
though in the dark pocket 01 the
coach,'
had found it out, and with one ac
cordJ
aU twelve of them had begun itheir
morning song.
As if at
a -given
signal
they
One and . all
of them began to croak
as
lorid
as ever they could. - Tlie noise
their
united concert made seemed; in the
close
compartment of Jhe .coach, quite
deafen
ring:
well might tlie Germans look
angry
They wanted to throw the frogs,
bottl
and all, out the window, but I gave
the bbttle
a good shaking, and made the
frogs
keep quiet. The Germans ail twnt
to
sleep
again, but 1 was obliged to re-
main
awake to shake the frogs when they
began
to croak.1" i 4
Jin
France, there is what is called an edl-
ble Wo
the hind legs of which, when
cooked
are considered a great-dainty by
Frenchnie

as gobd

for I once dined off a 'dish of fried
