If skies were bluer, And fugs were fewer, And fewer wore the storms on land and sea Worn shiny summers Perpetual comers What a Utopia this would bo ! If Life were longer, And faith were stronger If Fleasure would bide, if Care would flee ; If each were bi other To all the other What an Arcadia this would bo !

Whereas, the Supremo Court of the United States, in the case of Edwards vs. Iveatsey, decided at the October Term, 1877, that the personal proper ty exemptions and homesteads provid cd for by sections one and two, arli- j tie X, of the Constitution of North j Carolina, were inoperative in respect j to debts and obligations contracted prior to the adoption of said Constitu tion ; and Whereas, doubts exist whether the various statutes providing for the ex emption of property from execution which were in force at the date of the adoption of said Constitution have not been repealed ; The General Assemlhj of North Carolina do enact : Section 1.

"I no tice' said the stream to the mill, ' that you gr ind beans fully as well and as cheerfully as fine wheat." Certainly," clacked the mill; "what am 3 for but to grind ? and so long as 1 work, what does it signify tome what the work is? My business is to serve my master, and 1 am not a whit more useful when I turn out fine flour than when I make the coarsest meal. My honor is not in doing fine work, but in performing any that comes as well as lean." this is what girls and boys on gin to do do what ever comes in their way as well as possible. er. Charles Gilford and Miss Blanche Crossfield were found drown ed together in the Thames, near North Woolwich, recently, and the following romantic explanation is giv en : "Mr. Clifford became acquainted with Miss Crossfield when 17 years of age, through having saved her from drowning. The deceased became mu tually attached, and plighted troth at the wish of the parents on both sides, but a year later Mr Crossfield with drew his promise, on the ground that Mr. GifFord's son was a Jloman Cath olic. Both deceased then arranged that neither would marry any other, and each would be wedded 'to the Church' until Mr. Crossfield should withdraw his objection. Mr. Gilford (deceased) then staid abroad at Ath ens, Geneva, and Baden for some years, when he received a letter from Mr. Crossfield informing him that his daughter was dying, that he (deceas ed) was the cause, and adding: 'If you wed my daughter, my curse shall follow you both. 1 have already dis in hcritcd her.' Deceased arrived in London last Thursday week, and met Miss Crossfield at her residence at Gravcsend, Mr. Crossfield having been killed in a carriage accident. Both de ceased's arms were united by some silken cords, and in Miss Crossfield's purse, containing notes, &c, was found a card on which was written : 'As we may not be wed in this world, may heaven permit us in the next. In lov ing embrace we mutually agree to leave this selfish world. Charles Gif- ford, Blanche Crossfield. Feb. 8, 1S79.' " "One evening when ..Ba'ph Waldo Emerson was engaged in preparing his new lecture, Mrs. Emerson, who had that moment flattened her finger while trying to drive a nail with a smoothing-iron, thrust her head into his studv and said : 'See here, sir, I wanl yo tp ln:lt everlasting pen o( yOUrs, for a minute or two at least, amJ n (mvn lo tno grocer and get a ma Uerei lor urcaKiasi. .uy uear, replied Mr. Emerson, looking up from his wor k, my dear, can't you go? You see I am billed in a dozen places to deliver this lecture on memory, and it isn't half finished yet.' 'And that's what you call your lecture, is it ? said Mis. Emerson, sharply. 'A nice par ty you arc to deliver a lecture on memory.' 'And why, my love? said Mr. Emerson, meekly. 'You never go no jt,KS tjian seventy-five or eighty umbrellas ; and you know yourself the last time you went to church ou tool; out your false teeth because, as you said, they hurt your corns, and came away and left them in the seat. 1 say you are a nice man to talk to a cultured audience on memory, and if vou don't trot right off to the grocery I'll expose you before you're twenty four hours older.' Mr. Emerson start ed on a jump for the grocery, and when be got there he couldn't for the jf0 (,f ,jm recollect what he had come lor. ' C'in cinnati Jnfjn ire r. Wholesale Kjssincj. A Cincinnati Enquirer reporter who "has been in vestigating the charge against Dr. Keifer superintendent of the Soldiers' Orphans' Home, at Xenis, Ohio, stales that out of nineteen matrons in the institution sixteen admitted that they had been hugged and kissed by the doctor, some twice and others thrice, The superintendent says in defense that he intended nothing wrong, but did it to make friends with the ladies, all of whom, however, declare that his kisses were exceedingly unpleas ant.
