The freedmen, in m$ny sections of the State, are rapidly becominfjr educated, and thfy gratefully avail themselves of avtpry opportunity to possess the .Bible. Perhaps one-thirdof all the destitution among- them has been -jupplied. in this connection it affords the Superintendent great pleasure to bair testimony to the noble work which the Rev. H. IJ. Blake and hfe son are doing the freedmen in yilmington and the vicinity, not oiily in educating the freedmen, but InfdistributingtheScriptures among ttlX'Hl. t jThe Superintendent has presented itae Bible cause to the various ec irisiastieal bodies in the State, and hC is happy to say that in all cases tey have courteously received him, end have adopted resolutions ear 'ijstly commending the Bible cause it0 the churches, and pledging the cord ml co-operation of all the ptis tfcrs. To many of the pastors of tiese denominations, and to very many laymen, the District huier intendent is indebted for numerous Sets of . personal kindness. The fphri.stiancourtesiesextended tohim, $nd the words of sympathy and en couragement which have greeted iim in almost every community, ave tended greatly to cheer and trengthen him in the prosecution f his arduous work. The work of supplying the desti- ution in this district has been very reatlv facilitated bv the liberality f the Parent Society, in making uch ample grants for gratuitous listribution. These grants, forty in lumber, embraceabout 10,000 copies fnf the Scriptures. Two thousand three hundred dollars worth of books have also been put at the disposal of the surviving members of the North Carolina Bible Society, in discharge of a sum formerly de posited with the Parent Society by that auxilliary, and from this source many books have been drawn for ! gratuitous distribution. On the j whole, the Shite of North Carolina j is believed to be better supplied j with books than at any oriou since ! 1SG1. This is certainly a source of' encouragement. j In reviewing the labors of the past ! year, the Superintendent for North I Carolina would gratefully recognize j ... 1 1 1 am the loreman 111 a shirt an drawers factory. I am forty years old, and never was particularly handsome to look at. 1 don't sun- pose my manners are particularly fascinating either, for the girls mostly call me " Old Crusty,7' and "Bear." Not that I mean to be cross, but some people haven't the agreeable ways of others. i I have sat behind the tall desk, in Tapet liuttonbell's nineteen years. I've seen a good many curious phases of life within that time, but the most curious of all happened to myself personally, and that is pre cisely what I am going to tell you about. I wouldn't have had it happen for five dollars," said Dennison. Dennison had charge of the out door department, and he came , in that wet, drizzly, February even ing, to stand by the grate fire in my room. We had not ltehted the gas yet ; the press and the hurry of work were over for the day, and it was quiet and pleasant in the red shine of the coals. I was sitting on my. tall stool, biting the feather end of a quill pen, and thinking thinking of I scarce know what. What's happened now??' I said. ' It's Lame Hetty," said Denni son. "Two rolls of work missing and Hetty declares she brought 'em. here." - . I laid down the goose quill. Lame Hetty had been in my thoughts, somehow, all that rainy twilight, just as people and things will take possession of your brain at times, and you can't helpyourself. A soft eyed, low-voiced girl who walked with a crutch, and always wore delicate grays and dove colors. I knew her from the throng bwause of the "tap, tap" of her crutches, and used always to speak to her when I saw her standing in the long line of girls who waited, on Saturday night, to deliver their work and receive their pav. " That's bad," said I. "Ten dollars worth of shirts," said Dennison "order shirts, too, and that makes it worse. I am sorry for the girl she has a pretty face of her own, and I always liked her ; but of course it's necessary to stand by rules. Loses her deposit and no more work." ' "1 can' flightily. " But suppose missing work V" " It ain't likely she'll do that," said Dennison. " This sort of girl has seldom ten dollars ahead." "I don't believe -its her fault, Dennison," insisted I. " She is responsible, isn't she?" " Yes, but" Just then Mr. Buttonhole came "Yes," she cried recklessly. "I it. T nn ri cu-l mnnav enrol et me have my trunks to be mar ried until I paid her what I owed her. I was standing by lame Hetty that night. I saw her lay the piles or work, on the dsk ; 1 saw them sup ana laiion tne neap. 1 was just goingaway, and it was an easy thing for me to stoop, as if for my owrn handkerchief, and pick them up. I pawned them, thinking I could easily redeem them, but I never did. Here is the money to pay for them. I hope Hetty was not blamed." " She was, though," said I slow ly. 'r holn if " coul I I oUn o " I've done my best. Will you see that she is righted?" "As far as lean." And Helena went away, mutter ing to herself about all her accounts being closed at last. I paid but lit tle attention to it at the time, but remembered it afterward. I went 'next evening to Hetty's simple losings, over a baker shop. " .BHSiTXrrance vT said the ba ker's wife, meeting me at the foot of the stairs with a baby in her arms. "Why didn't you know? She has moved away." "Moved away! And my letter?"

"Hetty," said I, "did vou get my letter?" "Yes Mr. Harvey." " And what is your answer ?" "That I will be your wife, Mr. Harvey, and that I am, oh, so thankful, to have gained a good man's love." I stooped and and kissed her daisy faoe. " I suppose vou are sewing here, Hetty?" said I. "it is a hand some house." " No," said Hetty, half laughing and half crying; "I live here." "You!"

The Jdusf'uftd Jieeord ami 7.V posltory, a monthly family news paper published in the city of New York, presents in its issue of June l ith, a portrait of Dr. Pierce, and the following brief sketch of that venerable divine. The sketch, though exceedingly meager, con denses a dool deal of information, and will be read with interest: "The subject of this sketch was born in Halifax county, North Car olina, on the 24th of March, 1780. He was licensed to preach in l'JOl. ; He joined the South Carolina Con ference in December of the same ! year. The Conference at that time i ,.i;r.o oil h e.m.iinn o ti.i i ciieeriunv Vuiuilllii (1 1 1 yj 1 uiiuin vui viiiiu ; Georgia. Dr. Pierce has ieen an j active laborious preacher for 03 j years. He filled two appointments ; in South Carolina; first, the Pedee circuit; second, Columbia, and j while yet a very young man laid j the foundation of Methodism in ; the capital of the old Palmetto ! State. He married in Georgia, and j there became a resident citizen. In Georgia he has lived for more i than 00 years. The impress of his! mind and character, is upon the ; civilization, education and religion j of the people. The State owes him ' more than she will ever pay, albeit i no man in her borders commands more of public confidence and re- i spect. "The early advantages of this venerable man were scanty. Six months would cover the entire term of his scholastic education. What he is as a divine, is due to native genius, judicious reading, intelligent observation and a life consecrated to one work. The Church and the country with one consent, assign him the front rank among preachers.' He is now an old man, far beyond his fourscore. His wonderful physical powers be gin to decline, but his mind abides in all its freshness and force without the decay of a single attribute. "Although not able to preach as long nor so often as in the days of his strength, he still preaches by day or by night as opportunity necessary less U sir, to nu tnis," saiu 1, uuoiousiy.

" Very unfortunate," said Denni j son ; " lame Hetty was one of our j very best hands." Hetty Dorrance came the next ! morning as usual to receive work, ; and she had a ten dollar bill in her hand. j "Some kind friend has sent this i to pay for the lost rolls of wsvrk, sir," said she to me. You're in luck ; .Hetty," aid I a long column of trying not to blush nest look of her soft, brown eyes. much ," she added, in a low tone, " but 1 can't use it unless unless you think I am innocent." " Of course I do,'' said I, looking up at the quiver of her voice. "I don't believe you would take a pin, Hetty ; I've known you for four years, and 1 believe you're a good girl. It's an awkward mistake somewhere, but there's not many a mistake, my girl, but that God clears up in His own good time. Now take vour place in the line; there's no time to be lost this morning." So the matter was settled ; but somehow a cloud rested on Lame Hetty. Those.' who had been fast friends before avoided her now ; the coarser minded whispered and giggled when the " tap, tap " of her crutch sounded on the floor. Oh, Mr Harvey," said poor Hetty one day, when Jennie Warren, the proudest and prettiest of our girls, refused to acknowledge her modest bow, "it's very hard, very hard to bear." Wait, Hetty ; only wait," said I, she pays for the take his money with him. I have inherited it alf." "It cannot be possible," said I rubbing my forehead. " But it is possible," said Hetty. I " And it is true. I was just going to send to you to pay that ten dollar bill when I got your letter." " I have been paid, my girl," said I, and I told her about Helena Arden. The pext day we saw a little par agraph in the papers, how an un known woman, with the words "Helena Arden," written on her handkerchief, had drowned herself at the foot of one of the East River piers. That is my story. It is simple enough ; and I think it has the ! elements of romance in it. yard yesten pretty closely for fear he would snip off my rose-bushes. I put my shawl on and sat on the grass, and pretended I was keeping him com pany. He is a man of good sense, and he said a great many sensible things. I remarked that mowing must be his trade, he did it so well, ana maae such nice work. "Heh!"he sniffed; "I'm jack of all trades and master of none. 1 can do most anything that I take hold of;" ana he leaned over and shaved the grass neatly from about a snarl of rose-bushes, a beautiful tangle that I couldn't prune for very tenderness of heart. "Oh thank you!" I said: "vou did that as kindly as a mother would dress her babe. Any other man would have said; Here's a dead branch, Miss Potts;' or, 'yon is a useless shoot;' or, 'That bush yander is a sufferin' for the knife.' It's my bush, you see, and I want it to grow as wild, and ranting, and riotous, and and just as extrava gantly as it pleases. I don't care if it leaps as high as the top of the house," said I, a good deal excited. "Well, I carcalate that it would be the better 01 a little trimmin, but, as you say, it's well enough to let natur' have her own way, just to see what all she can do when she takes a notion. If I was a rear'ler gardener, I s'pose I would have at tacted that bush whether or no. I often wish father had apprenticed me to that trade poor man, he's been dead an' gone this many a long year; he was a good father, and I don't find it in my heart to bring up a word o' blame agin him;" and here he leaned on the handle of the scythe in a comforta ble sort of a way. "But, Miss Potts, I think it's every man's duty to give his boys trades. When father died he left a farm of one hundred and sixty acres; there was mother, and we three grown boys, and the two little girls, and Johnny, and grandmother. Well, we couldn't all have the farm, and we couldn't any more than make a good living, and pay the preacher and the taxes, and school the chil dren, and meet an occasional doc tor's bill ; and so Jack and I talked it over one night, and though it did seem a little hard, we resolved, 'fore God an' ourselves, that we'd give up all right and claim to the old farm to Tom, our oldest brother if he u care lor existence by pettifogging dirty cases and manufacturing falsehoods, tipstppnrri better he has the little tas: Of eso. dansrlintr to his name.

The steps you took toward that end will prove f far greater consequences. You are a business man, perhaps, and your ventures have miscarried one after the other, and now you look sadly Jback through a long vista of disap pointments and defeat. But mean while you are known to be a good man and true a kind husband and father, a loyal citizen and a faithful friendand . many a man who has passed you in the race for wealth and fame may look with envy upon the love and respect you have gained by your personal character and services. Your want of success in business life may be due to some peculiar lack in yourself, or may result from something adverse in your surroundings, but remember that, while your undertakings may fail over and over again, you your self may be a glorious success. And here we touch upon the true solu tion of the whole difficulty. We are miserable and sad over our fail ures in life, because we mistakenly identify ourselves with the soecial object we have in view; But that is a great mistake. It is because we cherish this superficial philosophy of life which makes the end supreme and counts for nothing the steps taken toward that entL that we pro duce such shallow and dishonest types of character at the present day theseshoddycontractors.flash-in-the-pan generals, sensational preachers, and clap-trap politicians. No, friends, we have a right to count effort as well as effect. Not the result of a course of conduct, but the motive and nature of it, are the all-important matter. You cannot command success, whether the means employed be fair or foul, but it makes a great deal of difference to your personal character and to your fellow-men what kind of methods you employ. The conse quences of your actions are a great deal more important than the par ticular end they are intended to subserve Domestic Experience.

This would not suit the people who live by making dresses and selling goods. So the most outre and ridiculous forms of dress are introduced. Thus we have at one time perchance a modest and appropriate style of dress, quite sure to be succeeded by something fantastic and extravagant in a few monthsafterits introduction. These oscillations of the dress pendulum resemble the stock market in Wall street. The bulls and bears of fash ion operate in the same way and are controlled by the same motives. Every new fashion is a trick of the trade, designed to fleece the vain and the improvident. lhe New Lngland club is com posed of earnest, sensible, and prac tical women, who seel; to elevate and ennoble their sex everywhere. They call attention now to this reform as one of the first steps to progress, and they are very right. Every man who has to support a family in society feels intensely the burden of dressing them. Where there are several of them in one family the demands upon a moder ate purse are extensive. Add to this the waste of time, and the complete absorption of all woman's activities, and the total loss is very great. The influence of drink or the ruinous fascination of gambling is scarcely more debasing to man than the love of dress in its extreme development is among women. Exclusive devotion to personal adornment produces a most unlove ly character. Upon man, too, the influence is wholly bad. Thousands of our best young men are kept from marrying because they dare not as sume the burden of supporting a wife according to the popular sty le. For a young man not to marry is a very sad thing, and there isalways a mate who is also compelled to be single, which is quite as bad.

I said 'Bowzer,' said I, 'now you can't do a better thing than to apprentice iea and Timothy to trades. You don't want to live in town and have two big idle boys trifling away their time. Don't do as my father did, don't let 'em feel as though you had not done all a father's duty. You can have Ned learn the tinner's trade, and let Tim be a mason, or a plas terer, or a cooper,' an!, what does neighbor Bowzer do but up and git mad, an' tell me to mind my own business, an' that he was ca pable of lookin after his own fimily. "Well, to-day those Bowzer boys are like me, going jobbing 'round wherever they can get a hand's turn to do. I think it is a blasted shame for a man to bring poor children into this world and not do a father's duty by them, just leave them to shift for themselves, crippled, shack led, hobbled, wings clipped and not feeling that they belong to the class of men who are free and brave and bold, and who can stand up and look the world in the face and feel themselves no man's inferior. "That was a nice thing, sensible, too, that Esquire Hamilton did last week.

J Not infrequently Scott has en- j gagements ahead for more than a J year, and it is said has never failed J unless detained by illness or acci dent, to keep all of them at the very minute appointed. Those who fail to be prompt, from whatever cause, lose their chance of an inter view, and are sometimes deferred for several days, perhaps weeks or months. I have heard of men who, having been unavoidably delayed, found Scott fifteen minutes after the time, but could not settle the busi ness they had in view until a new appointment was made six or eight weeks later, and were compelled to fulfill it in a different city. Scott has engagements between this and next June, all the way from Ban gor to Galveston and from Wash ington to San Francisco. He works on an average, from sixteen to eighteen hours a day, and is pre served from breaking down by his unquestionable genius for sleeping. The very moment his head touches the pillow he drops into a profound and dreamless sleep, but can wake up the very moment he wishes to. In spite of countless cares, anxieties and responsibilities, he can, like Napoleon Bonaparte, tall into ob livion by a mere effort of the will. Any man, capable of sleeping soundly, can perform marvels of labor without serious wear of nerve or tear of fibre ; while a man una ble to sleep, or sleeping feverishly or spasmodically, must take the best care of himself, or sink under any extraordinary burthen iV.
