VOL 1. The Crippled Child. In yoader cottage, near the whizzing mill; Upon the meadow drear, and wet, and chill. - Shs sits iu solitude, so cairn1 and still. To earn her bread, the widowed mother stands.,,-;- j ' ., Besides the clattering loom with nimble' hands, j Fr)in dawn to dusk, she weaves the carpet-strands. Meantime the child with chronic suffer ing bent. Endures, in undiminished trust, content, Hoarding all her woes as kindly sent. Dear patient child ! A rare example thou ! leach thankless, hopeless, i how A trustful smile illumes a gl sad repiners oomy brow ! Amid thy scant supply of books and toys No sordid care thy mental peace destroys; No earthly veil excludes supernal joys. Sweet melody awakes thine! artless lyre, While friends, unseen, the symphany in spire, ' I Till thou shall rise to oin some heavmly cnoir. I A. I. iWfY MOUTH. Waverly Mvjazlm i State Fair. A gentleman of Raleigh haiids iis a card and we find what follows written ,on it : 4 'Dr. J. F. Cain and Cj L. Denison, of Orange County, have a thorough bred Durham Bull, Cotswold and Southdown Sheep, and Imperial and Berkshire Hogs, that will be on exhi bition at the next State Fair. This is very fine stock, none better in the country." ij ' From present indications the next will be one of the best Fairs ever held - ' - - - ii in North Carolina. But let us do more, make it one of the best ever held in a Southern State. 1 The prospect' of goodj crops never was better, and if money is a little tight now, it must ease u tober. When, last year, before Oc it will be recollected, we were caught with the Fair right in the midst of an unusual pressure,, and then it was one very far from a failure. i We received two drawings from New York, this -week.jf jwith the re quest to exhibit them at our next An ninl Fair which, of course, we will dc, and would here state that any ar- tide, forwarded either to this office or RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA, SATURDAY, JULY 31, 1875. to the office of the Secretary of the Agricultural Society, would be receiv ed and exhibited, and promt ly return ed or disposed of as desired. : Crops.. Everywhere crops arc reported bet ter than for many years. Just around Raleigh a little rain may be requir ed, but elsewhere there seems to be rain enough and fanners have no reason to'coinplain. However, when they cant complain of making too little they do sometimes of too niuch, as it lowers the price of all. They think then they are as unfortu nate as if they had made less and they are, if it is cotton or tobacco. But it would not be so with wheat, corn, pork or beef. Make your own support first and; then you can" let' short or heavy crops of tobacco or cotton sell for what they may and you are safe; But you will never believe it. i .- : - ; ' . Mr. Editor. : Will you please give me the names of the best varieties of Grapes for the middle section of North Carolina. We desire a grape that will make the besc wine, and also that will bear shipping when the market will justify it. Concord. We would like to hear some of those in our State who have been largely engaged in the cultivation of the Grape on this subject,, and Col. II. T. Guion is one we have in view, and then we will give6 our opinion. :" ' Good, effective remedies pro v'6 them selves. If ascertain, preparation is offered as a sure remedy for rheuma tism and a dozen or Iftmdred trials are made without, avail, 'of course, our faith recoils from the -so-called remedy. If aperson, suffering from .rheuma tism, is advised to try the celebrated Home Stomach Bitters for a cure Jie maybe skeptical at first, but as sure as he give them a fair trial his skepti cism vanishes. This preparation proves its own claims. . h-, i No man can be successful who'neg lects his business. . i Our Artists. "Painting is a wonderful gift and exalts and refines even the purest," said a friend, while looking with us, the other day, at some paintings at Clawson's, from the bruah of ourmvn artists. i . The fruit of I Miss Arrington, the daughter of Dr. Arrington, of this city, is beautiful, and shows a depth of richness, and delicacy, and clear ness in tints, that would do credit to one of much more experience and many more years. Mr. Frank Womble's landscape there, is naturally drawn and ' exqui sitely colored ; and Mr. Wl Garle Brown says he could make an artist, and that is more than we could say in his praise in a volume. We can fill our Fairs with such work with proper effort, and they of a class to reflect credit upon the State. . r Horses- 7 We are well aware that a fast walk ing horse is worth more than a fast running horse to a farmer, and it is just what we are endeavoring to show how to select good wallers and not runners. We have portraits of sev eral kinds of horses, and next we will present the pictures of two im ported Clydesdale stallions. Superior animals of the kiiidj which were selected m Europe with great care and no little expense. ; , 1 ; Cement What is the best material to fasten iron posts set in holes drilled in stone? I have been advised to use melted sul phur; perhaps there is some kind of cement that will answer. Anv infor- r mation on the subject ' will be thank fully received? d. c. Sulphur is used when one stone is set in another, as for example with grave stones where one forms a base for the other, and has the advantage of being very easily ap plied, beingmelted at a moderate heat and poured in. i ' It is not so strong as lad; which is ! best when iron posts are set in stone: There are doubtless other: cement which would answer, such as the best hydraulic water lime mortar, coarse sand and tar, iron turn ings and salt, Jcc.,'-but as these re NO.- 4. quire time to harden, the sulphur or the melted lead arc Referred. Ex. We noticed the marble and brown stone post in the Kewbern Ccmetary, where sulphur was usedjo fasten the iron rails broken by the expansion from heat in the summer, while those set with lead were uninjured. .
