Till the night of earth is faded From the heart once fall of day ; Till the stars of heaven are breaking Thro' the twilight soft and gray. Oiilv waiting till the reaper Hve the last sheaf gathered home ; For the su miner time is laded And the autumn winds havo come, Quickly, reapers! gather quickly ' The last ripe hours of my heart. For the bloom of life is withered, And 1 ha ten to depart. Only waiting till the angels Open wide the mystic gate, By whose side I long have lingered, weary, poor, and desolate. Even now I hear their footsteps. And heir voices far away ; If they rail me, I am waiting. Only waiting to obey. Onlv waiting till the shadows Are a little longer grown ; Only waiting till the glimmer Of the day's lat beam is llown. Then from out the gathering darkness Holy, deathless stars shall rise, Bv whose light my soul shall gladly Treat 1 its pathway to the skies. Miscell a n cons. Phenomenal Itains. On the 5th and Gth of November, 72, there was a great fall of black dust in the iieighlHrhood of Con stantinople, and the atmosphere st-emed to be on tire. Procopins and Marcel I m ascribed it to Vesu vions. In SOD a red rain fell for three hours in the vicinity of Brixen, in Hip Austrian Tyrol. In 92, at Bagdad, there was a n-at ndnts in the atmosphere and red sand Ml. In HW th' re was a fall of red snow in America. In 111, in the province of Vas- jouragan, in Armenia, on a aarK night in winter, a flaming body fell - into Lake Van. The water became of the color of blood, and the earth cmeked ojen in several directions. In 1219-1112 a ml rain fell in Bohemia. About this time there was a tall of stone and a mass like coagulahil blood, with a fiery meteor. In Thuriniria. on the Gth of No- veinU'r, IMS, a ball of fire fell with great noise, and a reddish substance like etmtrulated blood, was after- wanl found on the ground. In I'omerania, 1557, there fell large flakes of substance resembling coagulated blood. On the 21th of December, 15G0, at Lille bonne, in Lower Seine, France, there fell a meteor, followed shortly after by red rain. At the close of a terrible tempest on the 5th of July, 1591, there fell in Uockhausen, in Prussia, a quan tity of fibrous matter resembling human hair. At Verden, in Hanover, on the 3d of December, 15SG, there fell huge quantities of matter, partly red and partly black, accompanied y lightnings and thunder and a fiery meteor, which burst with loud noise. In August, 1G18, a meteor fell in Styria, accompanied by a shower of stones and a rain of blood. At Tournay, in Belgium, in 1G3S, & red rain fell. In January, 1G43, a bloody rain fell at Vachlgen, and at Wefnsberg, in the Kingdom of Wurtemberg. During the month ofMaj(, 1G52, immediately following a brjlliant meteor, a viscid mass fell. On the 28th of March, 1GG3, there felli near Laucha, Prussia, a shower of fibrous substance like blue silk. On tho 31st of January, 1GSG, there fell, simultaneously In Nor wy and in parts of Pomerania, a Pat quantity of membranous sub stance, friable and blakish, some what like half burned paper. The Earon. Theodore Goth us analyzed a Portion of the substance, which has been preserved In a cabinet of natu jai history, and found in it silex. Ipn, lime, carbon, magnesia, a trace of chrome and of sulphur, but Dot.a particle of nickel, always Present in aerolites. On the 24th of March, 1718, on jfce island of Lethy, in India, there Wl a ball of fire containing gelatious .matter. On the 11th of October, 1755, "a Wood rain descended at Locarno, Switzerland, daring which ninb thes of rain fell, and the red mat kr that was deposited during, the nower was found to be, by actual measurement, an Inch deep. The same storm reached Swabla, 00 the Alps, and on those high mountains It changed into a reddish jow, which fell to a depth of nine n tho 8th of March, 179G, a viscid and resinous substance fell near Bautzen, in Upper Luzatia. of I caroon, hydrogen and oxygen. Chladin Guy ten de Morveau and Bluruenbach had specimens of it. It resembled in smell and color the dried gum ofjuniper. In July, 1811, there fell in Heidel- burc in the Grand nnfhwnfp0,u ourg, in .ne urand Duchy of Baden, a gelatinous substance following the explosion of a meteor.

In 18.11, accounts were published of two showers of flesh and blood one in Massachusetts, the other in Tennessee. In 1843 a shower of flesh occurred in bojth Carolina, the pieces being from the size of an ounce ball to somewhat larger than a hen's egg. In New. York, in 18G7, near Al bany, gelatinous matter fell. In Tuscany, in 1813, orange color ed hail fell. In German3, in 1808, over five feet of red snow fell. n Italy, in 1S1G, snow the color of red brick fell. In New Hampshire some years ago black snow fell. The red snow of tjie Crimson Cliffs of Beverley could be seen at distance of ten miles. Canada once had a rain of flies." The Egyptians had some difficul ty about frogs and such things. The Israelites had a pretty heavy show- er of quails, and successive showers of manna. About the most disas- trous rain that England ever had was reign of George III. We be- lieve a reign of terror once occurred somewhere. The greatest uimcuity is that it never rains liquid rye. JTeic- York Journal. Wipe Off Your Chin. She had several of the neighbors in to looK at a new Dureau, anu very naturally drifted off into an exposition of bureaus she had had herself, and which her mother had had. Her son was doing his level best to conquer the intricacies of a new work on Indian scouting. Finally he whispered to her " Mother, wipe off your chin." . She made a hurried movement with her apron -over that part of her features, flushing slightly as she did so. And then she went on with the discourse.

Garden City, on Long Island, is worth $1,000,000; the Grand Union Hotel at Saratoga and appurtenances are worth an other million, and the Glenham car pet works and factories near Fish kill on the Hudson, possibly an ad ditional million. Assuming the New York ity real estate to be worth $8,000,000, which is an outside figure, the total sum of these enter prises would reach $11,000,000. He invariably paid the whole o( the purchase money for his real estate in cash, never giving a mortgage, but insisted on clearing off every incumbrance. He was op- posed to selling any of his real es tate, and 44 bought to keep. A Shower of Worms. Something similar to the meat shower of Kentucky are the worm showers in Norway. The Morgen blad of Christiania states that this singular phenomenon was observed there after a recent violent storm, a number of worms were found crawlincr on the snow, and it was impossible to find any crevices in the ground from which they might have creDt out. as the earth was frozen. The explnation of the Ken tucky meat shower as of the pres ence of the worms is the same. Both the frogs and lizards were lifted up by wind storms, having their centers in distant localities carried up in the air, and dropped again in other places. It is a good time to recall some of the excellent advice long ago given by John Adams: "But . let wtzke warning and give it to our children.

Cowles, Solicitor of the 10th Judicial Dis trict makes application to the Gov- ernor tnrougn vv . it. uox, Chair man of the Democratic State Exec utive Committee, for the rendition of the colored citizens of Alabama, John Cowles and Hugh Carson. Bid the Solicitor have any delicacy in making the application himself, and if so, why? f""? "f8 "" self up in pohtieal trickery that he has forgotten . what little law he ever knew, if indeed he was ever over-crooned xvith it. The laws of i MT et North Carolina expressly provide that the Governor can only issue his requisition for persons charged with capital offences. The colored citi zens whom Cox wants the Govern or to arrest in Alabama, were in dicted for minor offences, and that too, under the old county court sys tem, when bloated Democratic " negro haters" held sway and per secuted them. If Cox shows so little knowledge of the law regulating the rendition of fugitives he would be a danger eus man for the Democracy to risk for Governor, that is, ho would be if there was the least chance of his election. The Democratic papers are hard to convince that the Republicans re cently carried Indianapolis by 4,000 majority. But 1 1 is nevertheless so. This is a great Republican victory in Gov. Morton's home. There was a j-iot in Indianapolis on the day of this election, and several negroes were killed. As stated on the floor of the House, by Mr. Townsend, of New York, a few days since, 44 the Republicans carried tho election, and the Democrats killed the ne groes." This is usually the case. If the Democrats can not carry elections, they can commit murder. About the same time the Democrats of Louisiana murdered in open day- light two Republican State Sena- org Tji3 reminds us of the good Ku K, . , North , "na.

Does the Democrat " recollect what Gen eral it was who burned Mr. Hale's office, and sacked the Vance news paper officts in Raleigh, in April, 1865 ? That officer was Gen. II. W. Slocum, r of New York, a Demo crat ! And one of the most active of all the 14 bummers" in the march of Sherman, was Gen. F. P. Blair, a Democrat. No wonder they still call our friend of the " Democrat" and other Southern Democrats, rebels "Martyr Cox". Furious. "Martyr Cox" for the purpose of diverting the attention of the people of North Carolina from the facts connected with the Pool fraud and doubtless with the hope of bolstering himself up for the Democratic nomination fur Gov ernor, comes forward in the JVeics of the Gth inst., with a letter accom panied by a long correspondence in relation to several colored citizens, of Alabama whom Governor Brog- den refused to illegally cause to be arrested to gratify the malignant hatred of the 44 Itobeson county he ro" to the colored race generally. The tone of the Martyr's letter ac companying the correspondence to the News, shows that he is evidently mad because Gov. Brogden wrote to Dr. Sears and exposed the Ex ecutive Committee's pet, Stephen D. Pool. We do not think we have ever seen or read a production that smacks more of the insiduous dem agogue than this effusion of the martyr. But, poor Cox ! his chances are gone beyond the hope of recovery. Neither the Robeson fraud, nor the screening of Pool, nor this last effort to establish himself as a demagogue of the first water will save him. The Democracy want something stronger than Cox. They know full well that however good his out ward appearance may seem he has nothing of those elements calcula ted to invite the suffrages of the people. Ah ! no, Mr. Martyr, you are too late. Why you won't even smell the chance of being acciden tal. Stop your underhand tricks. A man. with as rich cotton lands as you possess would be a great loss to the agricultural interests of the State. Remain a furmery Martyr, you don't suit as a -leader. You don't understand covering up the dirty tricks of your party well enough. Pool has a good many friends, and they are all against you because you allowed him to be caught. Stephen 1. Pool the Iefalter. We do not think there was ever a plainer case of malfeasance in of fice than the case of the defaulter Stephen D. Pool, and still the Democratic papers are loth to give him up although the proof of his gunt is so clear and unquestionable. When the Sentinel published Pool's first unsatisfactory card in relation to the Peabody school money, that pa pes called it a brief bvl crushing refutation of the slanders aaainst him.11 Oh! what an honest paper the Sentinel is. When the Democratic Superinten dent of Public Instruction has ta ken and used part of the school money for his private purposes, and when he does not deny it, but tries to evade and avoid it, the Sentinel calls his evasive card a 44 crushing re futation of the slanders against h im.11 Who ever heard of such crushing before? It is true that Stephen D. Pool will be crushed until there will scarcely be any of him left : and his brother Democrats who un dertake to carry him before the people wilP also be crushed, until they will wish they had never heard of Stephen Defaulter Pool. The Sentinel is not alone in its de fense of this notorious Democratic defaulter, me uoiasDoro messen- anoiner nonesi iemocrauu anu truthful sheet, takes up the defense for its friend Pool as follows : 44 Refutation of the slanderous charges brought against Col. Ste phen D. Pool." In publishing defaulter Pool's card, the Messenaer savs : Ti It affords us pleasure to copy the following: crushing refutation in the shape of a letter from Colonel Pl. which nails the infamous false hoods to the counter." Has Bonitz lied until he does not know how to tell the truth, or does he think he can keen his readers de- - m himself, for the honest people who have seen the evidence believe Col. Pool is guilty. The proof of his guilt cannot be doubted. We return thanks to Hon. J. J. Davis for a copy of Congressional Record. By the way, his speech in regard to the Charlotte Mini was well considered and instructive, and he carried his point. Pool and Cox. We again call on Goneral Cox to know about the fraud ; committed by S. I). Pool. Let Oen. Cox in form the people, why ho concealed the delinquency of Pool when he knew he vas a defaulter. He knows that a man who conceals stolen goods, knowing them to be stolen, is as guilty as the original thief.. Why did he conceal Pool's robbery of the school money,, when he knew of it at the meeting of the Demo cratic Executive Committee on the loth of March last ? Does he think it was fair and honest to try to con ceal Pool's stealing of the money which belonged to the poor chil dren of the State ? Speak out, Mr. Chairman ot the Committee, and let the people know ho truth in re gard to this. Still They (Vni-. Letters are daily ne ivtd ;; i ho Executive Department from Teach ers of 44 Peabody Schools" asking what course they shall pursue to make tho Democratic Superinten dent of Public Instruction settle up. We hardly know what an swer should be given these poor people. One unfortunate Teacher writes that he is in a destitutue con dition having labored hard and trusted to Pool's repeated promises to pay. Still the State Democratic Com mittee are silent, and by sueh si lence quietly acquiesce in Pool's in famous frauds. Surely they should at least demand that he retire from an office which he has so slumjeful ly disgraced. Thirst for Oflice. Whoever knew a Democrat in of fice to yield and give up until driven out by the law ? When their Legislature (elected through Ku Klux influences) as sembles and passes statutes directly and flagrantly opposed to the Con stitution, for the purpose of ousting lawful incumbents, and putting their own pets and favorites in of fice, whoever heard of their not ac cepting, honors thus illegally ob tained ? Look at their attempts to seize unlawfully the control of the government Of the city of Wilming ton. And they would have suc ceeded, too, but for the back bone and courage exhibited by that uu terrified patriot, lion. W. P.'Can ady, the Mayor. Look how they seized, unlawfully and unconstitu tionally, the city of New-Berne, and of our own city of Raleigh. But this is not all. It mierht be said in their behalf that it was a doubtful question concerning the constitutionality of these acts, and thus they were, in a measure, justi fied in obtaining power, in viola tion of every common principle of equity and justice. ,Now, however, it is no longer an open question. The Supreme Court the highest judicial tribunal of the State in the city of Wilmington caso has de clared these acts illegal and these incumbents ludaicfuWy occupying and controlling the government of the city of Raleigh. Following this decision, the Superior Courts, on a proceeding instituted for that pur pose, issue an order of ouster against the acting Mayor and Aldermen, and they refuse to obey, thus invit ing anarchy and encouraging law lessness. And yet this "worth, wealth and intelligence' pretend to be the all decency, all purity, law abiding, and law-observing party. Shame on their hypocritical cant and pharisaical pretences. Shame on their boasted love of Jaw and order. Do they not invite lawless ness by. their conduct? Do they not encourage vice, disobedience to law, violations of the public quiet and peace? Do they desire to bring anarchy and ruin upon the country? It would seem so. Associated Press News., That the Associated Press dis patches sent South are under the control of violent partisans in the interest of the Democratic party 13 apparent. Whi'e it is truo that mis takes will sometimes occur in the transmission of dispatches, yet it is somewhat remarkable, that such mistakes are always made against the Republican party . whenever political news is seut. In the telegraphic repo.t of the municipal elections in Indiana, the Daily Ktws of this, city in its issue of Thursday 4th inst.;states, that the city of Indianapolis had been carried by the Democrats by over four thousand majority- Ac- r.rriin f r.n.-f, i... 1 :r : , vi7 r:::.. ' iue iew xorK sierra, wasniug- ton Republican and other Northern papers the reverse is stated to bo true, the news being that the Re publicans had carried the city by four thousand or more and gained largely throughout the State. The well known reliability of the north ern press forbids the belief that they have wrongfully stated tho case. We cannot see what the agents of the Associated press can gain by allowingjsuch notoriously falsestate menls to be sent South. It is not possible that the interests of tho Democratic- party can bo perma nently promot?d by any such de ception. Of course the truth is bound to come out at last, and when it does come, it reacts with powerful force upon the authors of such foul deceit. We think those tvivino' in rJi'irrr Hir tmnmiawiiiti of dispatches should be held to a strict account for all such imposi tions upon the public. Political news sometimes operates to consid erable extent upon commercial af fairs, and, in this manner severe loss may frequently be visited upon many people. This system of Associated Press lying should be stopped at once, and the guilty parties mado to suffer. JUIIORS FOR THE JUNE TERM OT U. S. Circuit Court.
