And in ordinary charity wa ask you to defer any Judgment of condemnation as to our in tentions, nntil at least, more convincing ev.dence is given yon, than the fears of a few, wnose pro pbetie vbioee divcover dangers that never exirt, and whose absence, when real dangers and diffi culties prevent themselves, is never satisfactorily accounted for.

If we een, however, succeed ia impressing the mind of ' all parties wlh the met that other subjects besides federal peHika, local to us, are of great and lasting importance, and ns such should claim at least a portion of the time and thoughts of those whom the people took op to for guidance, and which should be thoroughly investigated and dispes ioitftety considered, we shall, we think, hare done much for the public interest, -l ' JtumX our dyect, KMrBATfC&I.LT not, wniie advocating a just equalisation of taxation so far as the same ran be effected, to array one portion of our fellow citizens against another portion one dace against eDolbr clasa or, one section against another section. The most careless observer of what has passed into history, and of the events now passing in other communities the merest beginner ia the study of political economy, knows Ml well. or ought to know, that the an tagonism between labor and capital exiting else where, can never -effect the social condition to any extent, of an agricultural community like oir own ; especially when that community has en grafted npon itfelf the conservative element of domestic slsvery. With only 17 persons, in 1850, to the square mile, no large cities with n smalt amount of capital, and that generally dif fused, the moat industrious and unscrupulous dem agogue can never, with us, succeed" in bringing .. about any estrangement between the rich and tha . poor. is Mof onr object to depreciate by anything we do, the value of any particular kind of property ; nor do we desire any discrimination to be made or or gainst any sprciea of property. On the contrary, the cardinal point of our belief is, I hat an unjust and oppressive discrimination now ex ists fa the principles of our tax system, and for its removal wa address you. We hold that pro perty of every description, receiving equal protec tion from our government, should contribute, with the parsons protected, its equal proportion la the support of that government. That, as dollars ana cents measure the value of every spe cies of property, any privilege or exemption be stowed npon the same amount of dollars, and cents in oca kind, and not upon the others, is unjust, and granting immunities at war with one of those fundamental principles upon which ia baaed our whole organic law, ' . i .

If tha exigencies ot the treasury re- ? uire aa to pay the sums we bow pay aye, should t become necessary to increase the amount in a ratio greater than it has been increased since the year IftaT, we will pay the same cheerfully, and gladly, if wa can but be satisfied that iwe are only paying our proper proportion, and that all other dtinas of the State are required to do the Ji Unci owr object to rail In question the inten tions of those who flnt gave to .

Tlmt the mnta .mount of taxes collected each year, and which were amply sufficient for the adminis tration of our government, was so small that but littU interest was felt in the subloct of taxation by those who bad the taxes to pay, and but little attention bestowed by our legislators as to the source from which the revenue necessary to de fray the expenses of the government was to be raised. The rates on the $100 worth of land, to wit ! 6 cents, and 20 cents on tne vou, remaineu unaltered for over thirty years, and was not in creased until the year 1854. JTrom : the state mnta made bv the tJocprtrollers. we see that in the year 1832 the aggregate revenge paid by the SbenOs into tne treasury was (orouung imj K3 811 i of which real eatate oaid S13.108 ; pells, ?5 an i leavinr $10,291 to be Daid by all other tAiahla anbiocta.

In this yaar, Wake paid $3056 into the Ueasury. Since 1847. nnder this new order of thinra, our learislatora at every session hsve been driven to many expedients, and nave spent no ut ile time and discussion in adjusting the differ ent tax bills to the increasing demands oi tne tmuurr. In 1858 the amount of revenve mid by the Sheriffs into the treasury was $502,612 : real estate cavine $146,150: free polls $32,588 black polls $75,462: leaving $248,388 to be collected from other sources. In this year Wake paid $21,652. In 1859 the aggregate revenue paid bv the Sheriffs under the tax bill "f 1856-'7 was $607,813. No details have as yet been published. Ia 1859 Waka pays $25,004. In the foregoing statement the tax paid on bank stuck, and those derived from a few other sources amounting to little, have not been included. From the forego ing figures it is seen that from 1822 to 1847, a pe riod or 25 years, mere was nut ntue increase m the aggregate amount of revenue peid to the Stale ; and that increase, ia aocounted for by the natural increase in the number of taxable polls, and chiefly from the increased value of lands under the various assessments maae aiier ue year 1836. - . , In thofeir material changes that hsve been in troduced in our revenue system since the 5 ear 1784. it is a fact worthy of notice, that all such al terations have been made so far as possible to con form to an d valorem principle. And tse have been unable to find any evidence that the restric tion incorporated in the amended Constitution of . . t . . , a a MA . - lii.id, so materially altering inac 01 no, iwnicn baa been styled by some as 'lineomparablif excel lent," and in this particular at least, we tbink just ly so,) elicited any. discussion or comment prior to iu passage. This ciroomstsnre, and the passage of the restriction on the General Assembly in re gard to ca-Mtation tax, through the Convention of 1835, wt tUcnce, preclude any idea of its being considered a matter of even secondary importance, or fits having been one of those changes in our organ ie law demanded by the people at that par ticular time; eve" if the small amounts of reven ue annually collected as above shown did not sat isfactorily do so. And further, if that particular species of property owned by our citizens, needed, in 1833, or before, the peculiar; protection 'given it, h is unaccountably strange that tha amended Constitution should hsve been voted aga'nst by every County in the State largely interested in slave property. The truth is, the Convention of 1 836 met for other purposes , and that those purposes hsd almost incessantly occupied public attention for years before the Convention aostmbled. And when the Convention did assemble, the changes ia our organic law, which had been fully canvas sed before the people, were again patiently inves tigated and elaborately discussed by delegates re markably distinguished for ability and learning. Yet, with all their learning and experience, it was beyorBJ their ken to foresee the many and great changes that were to take place wilbia the twen ty years immediately to follow.

I The last tax bill has fully convinced us of tbe great and tncreaaicg importance of this subject, and the urgent necessity of so reforming tbe sts tetn that the burden should be equally borne. Of its importance we are satisfied that yon are nlo convinced. For the oppressive ineaualitv and nn. justness of the system we invite your attention to the fotiewing illustrations from the last publish ed report from tha Comptroller of poblic accounts. By reference to Mr. Brogden'a report to tbe lan General Assembly, it will be seen that the segre gate valuation of 36,133,063 acres lai d, lifted un der the revenue bill if 1856 '7 for taxation, was $86,075,771 or about $3 29 per acre. This, ad ded 10 the valuation of town property, gives a total of $97,842,481, which paid into tbe State Treasury, as taxes thereon, tie sum of $146,150, (omitting fractions.) The aggregate of tsxe paid by the polls listed at the same time was $109,074. of which black pr41s paid $75,463, and free polls $32,588. Tne number of black polls given in was 150,925 a number, by the way, greatly below that return ed in the Census of 1850, according to which, there were in the State in June, 1850, about 1 64,000 tax able black polls. Theblsck polls returned in 1858, at a low valuation, were worth, in round numbers, $ 136,000,000. And if our slave population has in ceased in the same ratio since 1850 lHatit did during the ton years previous thereto, (and there is every reason to believe the incrense, from many causes-, has been much greater,) the total number of slaves io the State at thia time would be 338,548. This would leava 187,613 slaves untaxed, worth, at a low estimate, $113,567,800, making the aggre gate valuation of the sleveproperty ia the State $3 -48,567,800. This amount of property paid into the State Treasury in 1 858, for the protection ii enjoy, which, in our opinion, in iu duplicate capacity of property and persona, far exceeds that thrown around any other species of property by onr laws, tha sum of $75,463, a little more than half the amount paid by $97,843,481 worth of real estate. Is tier any reason why -such a discrimination should be made between these two species of pro perty 7 Why is it that $ 1,000 worth of land should pay, as it did under the tax bill of 1856-'7,$1 50, while $1,000 worth of slave property oaid onlvsn cents f In our opinion there is nj just and good ' reason for such inequality ; if lfcre is, we have yet 1 to near u aavnaceo. . t : ; . . . ... .. ' Again : The tax on Interest received, amounted to $76,774. ThL sum is paid on about $3 1,989,- 000 of money loaned. Thus : it is seen that our system requires $3 1, &S 9,000 loaned, or I otherwise bearing interest, to pay a larger amount of taxes into the Treasury thsa $249,567,800 worth of slave propertf. Is there any cause why $1,000 in mon ey at interest, restricted by our Uu in luproduo- tteeneaa to $60 per annum, should be mSde to pay $2.40 tor the protection it enjoys, while! $1,009 in slsve property, unrestricted in iu production, paid SO cents, and $1,000 in land paid $1.50 T Under our Bill of Rights, no man or set of men are en titled to exclusive or tens rata emoluments or Driv Oegea from their neighbors, except for good and just reasons. .Why cannot Una just, fundamental principle be extended in iu application mcewise 10 property, anower important element consutuuog a State?; 1 ; , 'Again : The profits of capital invested in steam vessels, in stocks of any kind, tn snares or any incorporated or tradmr com nan V. whether in or out of the State, bonds of another State, and bank dividends, paid, in 1858, $11,643. This tax was collected on about $290,000 of profits. In '1850, acoordine to the last Census, there was in JNorth Carolina more than $9,000,000 of annual produc tion, arisinir from manufacturer mining and me chanic arts, at a profit of 34 per cent, or over $3, 000,000. i We have hgdaot from which to estimate the increase of this annual production since that time, though we know it has been considerable. Why our legislators excepted this very considera ble amount of profit from paying taxes we can not tell. 1 If the profit on the annual production of capital invested in various ways is to be taxed, and it surely ought, why not tax those of productive InvestmenU 7 Again : Under our peculiar system, and it is, without precedent, peculiar in many respects, there was paid into the State Treasury the sum or t iz, 379 by a portion of the labor and industry of our citizens. This tax on the energy, enterprise and brains of the community, which should receive ii its development the fostering care and protection t-f our law-makers so far as possible, amounts to one iixth of the sum paid, as we have shown, by $248,567,800 worth of one species of property. We are satisfied that this distinctive feature in our revenue is so unjustly oppressive, so utterly sub versive of every reasonable and established prin ciple of political economy, and so openly at war with the best intereeU of our State, that it requirea no illustration in detail to convince you that a re. form at least in this respect is imperatively do mended. Still, that you may more forcibly com prebend its unjustness and inequality, let us for a moment loot to its operation, .every citizen ex cept ministers ot the Gospel and our Judges, (and why exempt the latter, when all other State officers axe taxed T) whose annual income from Ueir labor is over $500, paid, as a tax, 1 per cent, on their respective receipts. The clerk, the doctor, the mechanic, the lawyer, the overseer, : your county officers, every one, though by untiring industry and stinting economy they may be barely able to support their families, paid into the Treasury of the State $1 upon every $ino received. The fore, man in the workshop, if in the receipt of $500 as wsges, paid, besides his poll tax, $5 to the sheriff while his neighbor, owning ten slave mechanics at work in the same shop at the yearly wages of $2,500 orm re, paid 10 the Sheriff only $5 and his poll tax. The overseer, with 20 hands under him,' making for his employer 100 bags of cotton, worth $5,000 if receiving $600, paid $6, and the em-' plover, for that which produced him $5,000 paid $10. The employee of our different Railroad Companies each pay 1 per cent, on . their receipts, if they amount to $500 : the individual stockbold-i ers, though they may receive 6 or per 1 cent, on . thakir invatjnpnt nmmmtincr in ihn arirrefrAt to a large sum, pay, with few exceptions, ' nothing. The clerk, in the receipt of $700 per ennum, paid $7 to the State: his employer, with $100,000 of State bonds in his sale, yielding him $G,000 per annum, paid nothing. These illustrations might be indefinitely multiplied. In 1834, our Jxecu tire, in-hU message to tbe General Assembly, re viewing our revenue system, remarks thus upon, the inequality then existing . "Tbe poll tax on tbe day laborer and tbe capitalist is precisely the same ; and it sometimes happens that the latter, like the former, is suMct to no o.her species of contribution. In the one case it is an onerous im-. sitkm ; the in oilier, a tax a thousand fold greater mirbt occasion no sensible inconvenience. If in- 1834 a reason existed for oomplaininn against tbe inequality of the syBlem, how n.ucb more have we to complain of now, when the poll tax, though much increased, u but a drop in thj bucko:, com pared to that assessed on our labor. A eain: The amount paid by merchants and others engaged tn selling goods, wares and mer chandize, was $37,881. -This sum was levied on $11,365,0X0 of purchase; it making no difference under our system w bete or the same ws ever sold, or ever returned to the purchasing dealer any profit or not. This amount ia more than half of that paid by $348,567,800 worth of slaves, and nearly half as much aa was paid by $31,989,000 of money at interest. This $37,881 is paid, not by 1 tne mercnanu inemsclree. but. as everv one rn.-kr Kv thmninmar, a Imrtrm nirf in nf wlw.m kJlf) unviuuu lUBiuBviTee, out, oa are thoso very men wb pay 1 per. cent of their wages into the State Tn a?ury . Of this raer cbanU' tax, dealers in ready-made clothing paid per cent on their purchases $10 for every $1,000 worth ot goods bought. Further $409,000 (in round numbers) employed in theiircAose (not sate) of liquors, paid $20,448 tax, or 5 per cent. on the amount bought. Further still, $384,000 employed in buying and selling slaves; paid $1, 279; and $393,000 employed in otber trade, paid ($1,786. Upon what principle of adjustment these w - a veys his wife to church, paid $3,223, or of 1 per cent on the coat, estimating that cost at $200 each until every source from which our revenue is de- rived would, in tha ill...trtinn lw The limits of this address and your patience forbid any further deuils. To more fully substantiate thejustneseof our complsint, we will repeat the rates as above exemplified. Under the tax bill of 1866-'7 $1,000 worth of land paid $1 ; 1,000 " slaves paid . 50 50 40 40 00 33 1,000 in money loaned paid 1,000 of dividend and profit paid 1000 in labor and industry M 1.000 in goods purchased . 2 2 10 3 - 1,000 in clothing " " 10 00 ; 1,000 in liquors " " 55 00 1,000 of capital in buying slaves, ppid 3 33 1,000 " other trade, paid 2 00 1,000 worth of buggies, carriages, 3., paid 10 00 -1,000 worth of pianos paid 7 0 "Such are some of the inequalities of our exi t ing revenue system. We ask you, can it be do fended ? Can any oonsiieration, except self-interest, urge a solitary argument in favor of its continuance-? To every tax payer in the State we add resa . ourselves, and appeal to them fur an answer after mature deliberation. It is tbe sys tem that we rar against, and for the reform of which we ask your earnest co-operation. Com mencing in 1784. it has continued to the present time essentially the same, witb but few of iu de fecu remedied. In 1835, iu distinctive feature was, without reason, and without iu being de manded by public sentiment, incorporated in. our Constitution. . Other Acts of the General Assem bly can, at every session, "be touched by the plat tic band of reformation," whilst our "acts to in crease the revenue of tbe State,"must remain un changed in principle cannot be perfected either by the experience Of our statesmen, or altered to suit the exigencies of the Treasury. Can it be for , a moment supposed that time has disclosed no de fecu in our financial system? Is it believed that an experience of seventy years has added nothing to our wisdom in this respect, in relation to one of the most necessary and important functions of government? The system might havi beon ad mirably sui,ed to the times, and for the limited parposea, for , which it was adopted; yet no ; one could foresee tho immense changes ths.t were to take place, and have taken place, since iu adop lion. Common senso will tell us that a ivstem rv .vets .tsv tf vris" i - for tbe collection of $50,000 of revenue in 1754, will not answer for raising $650,000 in 1859; and it is worse man fully to think usframers ever intend ed it should. 1. i ";;)' Mr. Brogden's last Report discloses another fact wen wormy or the serious consideration and atten tion of every land and slave owner m the State. It is, that the amount of revenue : raised for County purposes, assessed exclusively upon land and polls, exceeded tha sum paid to the State, from all sources, by the Sheriffs, i In 1858, the County taxes amounted to 523,417. The State taxes, collected by the Sheriffs, amounted to 502,- 612. Are land and polls the only property . and subjects directly interested in a proper adminis tration of County affairs? If any other species of property receives tbe protection ot our lounty police, and is benefitted by our County reeula. nnm , Mi.lilit. .... 1 1 A HnH,l..i ttm proper proportion to the support necessary to keep up that police. . -i m Wa think the foregoing statements, limited as they necessarily are, clearly demonstrate that the principles upon which is based oar existing reve nue system, are not Such as the progress of evenU and -the spirit of our people demand. , Tbe times we live in, and the circumstances surroundine us demand a chancre. Is a change practicable? If we had not the experience of sister States, similar to our own in every respect, in the affirmative, we should be loath to believe that the wisdom and talent of onr public officers and legislators could not to reach the $500,000,000 of property within our borders, all of which we thnk to be legitimate subjects of taxation, as to assess on each dollar thereof its proper contribution lor the sup port of the government. One-sixth of one per cent of that amount would raise 833,333 per an numa aum amply sufficient for the administra tion of the government for years to come,; unless unforeseen contingencies should arise. The com plexion of our federal relations at this time is of such a character as to seriously admonUh u that s . those contingencies may at any time arise, j "With- in tbe next eighteen months it may become ne cessary to increase the revenue a hundred fold and more, to suDDort our beloved State as a free, and sovei-eiffri, and independent nation. Equalize the burden among those who have it to bear by just and equal laws, and whatever amount may be necersary to preserve tbe good credit of JNortn Carolina in any and every emergency, will be willinelv siren by our people. Many of the fathers of our State sacrificed their all in the days of '76. We believe their descendants, actuated by the same patriotic spirit, would be equally ready to pledge "their lives, their fortunes and their most sacred honor" to preserve the inestimable rights handed down to them. We have thus in an imperfect manner endeav ored to lay honestly before you the reasons that induced us to form this Association, and the ob jects we have for so doing. To the sober judg men t of the people of our State we appeal, and willingly rest the rectitude of our motives with the decision of that people. To the same tribunal we also as willingly leave the fears and insinua tionsof those who affect to believe this niotnment of ours to be fraught with danger and calamity; and whose real and interest for tbe prosperity of tba masses have heretofore been universally measured bv the succea or failure of tbeir own neUv plans of selt-aggrandixemeot. Time will eventually and surely disclose the selfish motives governing tbeir actions: and to tne vntuoua indignation which such disclosure will as surely consign them, we are content to leave them TOR-THK kkotstkb. THE KIRKHAM MINERAL SPRING. Ma. Stscc: I think tbe citizens of Raleigh may justly congratulate themselves upon the dis covery of the Kirkham Mineral Spring, which is in the immediate vicinity, if not within the cor porate limiu, of the city. The spring continues to be tbe daily resort of hundreds of persons, all of whom, so far as I hsve been ablo to learn, speak iu the highest terms of iu purity, coldness and medicinal qualities'! I understand it has al ready nearly cured several very obstinate cases of scrofula and dyspepsia, which have heretofore de fied the properties of other waters, and bsffied the skill of the physicians. The writer has, for some time, been subject to dyspepsia, and it affords him sincere pleasure to contribute his bumbla test! mony in corroboration of the healing properties of this witer. Thus far, bo has realized a very decided improvement from its use, as have also other members of his family. Knowing then, as I certainly do, that this spring is no humbug, and believing that it is destined, to stand the Jests of time and experiment, and to attain a great celeb rity, why, I would ask, may not Raleigh, with such a spring contiguous, become a famous and fashionable water-place? There are a number of considerations which would render our city pre eminently desirable in such a connection, among which I might mention its central position and facility or access, irom almost an poinu, directly by railroad ; iu commodious and well-corducted hotels, (a very important consideration too, by the bv ) suriforUyi by a good market, affording quantities of fresn ma, and many other luxuries ; the various places which sojourners might advan tagnouly visit and while away tbe long and tedi ous hours "between drinks say, for instance, our book storey dry good stores, clothing store, shoe stores, jewelry stores, millenery and hardware stores, our soda fountains, ice-cream saloons, con- fectiooaries, and last, but not least, (oh 1 horrors I must I say It") our dma stores, with the un-tiavr eonveniencies and pleasantries (?) to some of th"m pertaining J. icon, nere are jour tjylums, our .stately Capitol, with beantifully laid off promen ading groubds, the curiosities incident io iu exec utive offices, iu Senate Chamber and Commons Hall, iu State Library and S'ate Geological Mu seum. . Here visitors would find the Pulp't and the Press, both fully represented, too, the minis tration of tbe former of which they could attend three or four times a week, if they chrso, while from tbe latter they could keep themselves da'ly and weekly posted: up as to what might :be going on in the religious, political and literary world. Here hey could procure comfortable vehicles in which they eould take their pleasHnt morning and evening rides, so grateful and invigorating to the invalid, over good roads, winding through a ro mantic and undulating country. Therq arty at distances varying from two to eight miles, in dif ferent directions from tbe city, ponds, creeks and rivers, where those who are fond of angling could amuse themselves. Here, too, are our mechanical and flnsihing shops, where, might be profitably spent many a leisure hour ; ard here also are our depots, at which three or four trains daily arrive from tbe north, south, east and west, Which, be-sid-s frequently having on I card the friends and acquaintances of our guests, wou'd be instrumental in bringing interesting news from tbe points along their respective lines, of travel. All, or at least many or tnese, things may appear trilling and devoid of interest to as who are at home with our rninds engrossed With our daily avocations, but to tne invalid and to tboe who have left tbeir busi pees and homes in pursuit of health and pleasure, and who are consequently on the qui Vive for all ob- jecu and puces wnicb promise to contribute, in the least, to tbe amusement of the pa8i lg hour, those things would be more or less interesting. And wher , I would ask, in the whole State, or outoi it, couia me invalid and pleasure-seeker find a lovelier or more pleasant place to spend the summer manias man in our quiet city, with its varied attractions, its dry pavements, almost con tinuously shaded by native oaks and branching elms, its fragant flowers, beautiful belles and hand some beaux. ' To all who mar visit our spring during the coming summer, we will extend a most cordial weloome, and insure them to find iU wa ter as pure as crystal, and to possess decided min eral properties. I recently beaid an excellent sug gestion, made by one of our most respectable citi zens, in regard to this spring: it was that the city of Raleigh ought to purchase the lot on which this S) ring is situated, properly enclose and suita bly improve it for the benefit of our citizens. I think tbe 'idea a good - one, and . well worthy the consideration of our City Fathers. When we reflect how few of our citizens, comparatively speaking, are able to visit other watering place during the summer, and witness tbe hundreds wno dally seem so anxious to secure the benefit of this water to themselves and families, I think it but just aid due to all our citizens that tfcis snrinir shou'd be subjected to such judicious and econom ical improvement as would be consistent with the dignity and character of tbe Capital of the State, even should none but our own citizens visit ft. - - KaJeigh, April 27th, I860.

'Ob i Tom, hadst thou but been sae wise, - As ta'en thy sin wife Kate's advice : ; She tauld thee aye, thou was't a skellum,1 :' ' A bletherin', blusterin', drunken blellum, That frae November, -til October, ' Ae market day, thou wast na sober." j ij j ; !T; Bubms. .

Sometime in the early part of the Nineteenth Century, one Tommy Sherrin, asmall farmer, who ! resided somewhere in the upper part of Halifax connty. Ni C, either just over, outside, or on Ur' of, the Warren Iiiie, and nigh on to the present -port of LHtleton ; visited tho flourishing city ol j Weldon on the Roanoke, at that time fames only . for rockfish, shad, and a bountiful supply of sper-, rits. Now Tom was a jolly, jokiner, ne'er do well, sort of a body ; who loved his prog, and loved bis grog, aod loved his good wife Polly, (I call her Polly for short, not know ing any other name, that of acertaiiity would suit her any better,) and whose principal failings were, an extreme fondness for the com pany where "rood sperrits" abounded ; and that when once under tho influences of their po tent magic, he became perfectly oblivious of every thing, and every body, or to use bis own very ex pressive phrase, "be didn't know his own b- e from the. Ten Commandments." Well aware of these amiable weaknesses, many were the kind, and prudential cautions, administered to Tom on, his leaving home, by his faithful spouse, to ail of which be responded, with promises as plentiful as falling leaves ia October, or pigeons1 in pea time. Alas i lor tme vanity ornoman resolves. 1 he pro mises pressed no longer on his brain-nan. than his long nose inhaled the flavor of the liquor that bo loved, (Applte Jack) and long ere he concluded to J . r.

Ride. however, he must, and after .many starts, and as many returns, he at length found himself in the saddle, toddling away on his hungry and Ion? suf fering steed, somewhere or otlter Well crammed with brandy -slingft a store. And "brick" stuffed skull-cap, covered o'er ' Tom's head, as he from Weldon cantered, Towards anywhere, but homeward; sauntered; The day was wet, cold blew the wind, . His shivering nag was old and thin, And as alopg the way they wandered, Into full many a bog hole blundered. - ; Night bad set in cold, comfortless and dreary. ' and the evening shadows hung darkly down upon hill top and hollow, when Tom, his horse done up, himself dead beat from hunger, and fatigue, and ; shivering like a wetdog.in bis dripping garment, drew up before a way side dwelling, to implore in the name of God, and humanity, food, shelter, and a fire, for tbe balance of the night - In answer to his oft repeated halloo that quivered as tboucn shouted from an icepail, the door at length open-id and a comely looking wnmn appeared, 'who en quired" Who he was ?'' and." What he wanted ? "Kind and affecrionata madam !" quivered Tom, "I'm a lost man; almost famished with cold and, hunger, fur I ha'nt eat a bitd sence roornin'. an' ef you wilt shelter me an' my horse ontwil daylight. will ie.t me und out wbar l am, am willm' to pay wbatever's right ; fur I'm a lost man -1 "Well," said the woman, "there's nobodv.liere to lake your horse, butf you'll, lead bim around tbe bouse, you will find tbe stable, and corn, and fodder, and you can attend to him yourself, end then come in and try and make yourself e'omforta- oie. , . ! i Dismounting and guiding, or ratber being guided by his borse, who seemed instinctively to seent out tha way, Tom soon reached the tmrp in tho rear of the dwlling, and succeeded in stabling bU steed as comfortably as if at home ; and then made his way into the nous", where be found a seat al ready placed fori him by the fire, and every thing as cozy and comfortable: withim as without all was dreary, and desolate, ind repulsive.!. While Tom sat cowering over the fire, thawing- the chill from his trembling joinU, the good dame was busily preparing him ia hearty supper of fried meat and hot coffee, and occasionally nlving himt witb questions, as to "what in the world had kept mm out so Jate at night, in such a spell of weath- e?" In reply toi which Tom informed ber of bis trip to Weldon in the morning, and how, after his business was done, wbich was quite late, he bad started off, and bow he had tumbled into the Mill pond, and been nearly smothered in Bear Swamp, and how night bad come on, and he didn't know where be was, in. fact that he was a " lost man. 'twil his horse hud accidentia brung him to her door." ' . i :, But Tom said nothing about slings and the bricks, though the flavor of diluted .Applejack steaming from his garments, and the corn cob stopper sticking out of his pocket behind, very suf ficiently indicated the presence of rpe,rit-ual in fluences. ! .!. " Supper was at length placed on the table, and Tom having concluded that very 'necessaryand consol ing ceremonial, began to cast about for someplace wherever to stretch out his weather-beaten and li quor-laden carcass; and finally intimated to his kind and attentive hostess, that he would be glad of a plaoe to lie down: Now the hoise consisted of one room orJy, which ! served' the double purpose of parlor and kitchen by day, and family donatory by night, and Tom felt quite shocked when the solitary posted bed, which stood in ono corner, was pointed out to him as bis resting plac". -j; . "But, my dear madam," eiquired Torn,; "where ui you sieep-- i "i shall sleep there too." said she. "O-o-o-oh 1 no! marm." hastily eiaculated Tom, "I'm a lost man : but I've a numerous wife nnd children 14. home, an' -I a'lers nromked mv' wife thst I never; would sleep with any other wo man."
