In the tolet nuriory chAmbei, Snowy pillow jet mprted, Set the formi of little children Kneeling, white-robed for their ret, -AUln qntot nursery chamber While the dinky shadow creep, Heir the Tolcei of the children ".Now I lay me don to Ieep." In the meadow and the mountain Calmly ahine the winter stars ; But across the glistening lowlands SlanU the moonllcht's sllror bars In the silence and the darkness, Darkness growing still more deep Listen to the little children Praying God their souls to keep. " If we die "to pray the children. And the mother's head droops low ; 1a (On from out her fold is sleeping 'r Deep beneath the winter's snow,) Take our souls and pass the casement Flits like a gleam of crystal light, Like the trailing of his garments, Walking evermore in white. I Lfltle souls that stand expectant, , List en at the gate of life ; Hearing, far away, the murmur, Of the tumult and the strife ; We who fight beneath those banners, Meeting ranks of foeman there, Find a deeper, broader meaning In your simple vesper prayer. t When year hand shall grasp this standard, Which to-day yon watch from far, When you deeds shall sbapo the conflict In this universal war, Tray to him the Ood of battles. Whose strong eye can never sleep In the warring of temptlon, Firm and trui yen seuls to keep. When the combat ends, and slowly Clears the smoke from out the skies. Then far down the purple distance, Alltho nlose of battle dies, When the last night's solemn shadows Settle down on you and me, May the love that never faileth Take our souls eternally. From the Norfolk. Journal. J A MORE HENIOUS CRIME THAN DIS LOYALTY TO THE JNION. ernment cannot v - ; writers have never tired of Pactions on this subject, it is ratner vexauous w ueai At rn-hnitio- these BJ LiXiXxXJ UX VUl VTIU iyvvjw v o old British prognostications. If Ueorgc Washington and his compeers had listened to the Tories "on each side of the Atlantic, they would immediately have tendered their submission to the crown on conquering inde pendence. But they had more faith in hu man wisdom, human nature, and American destiny. That thc British mind does believe that the Union and its government will en dure for a long period, is proved by the care with which the British "Cabinet fought shy of the Confederacy. If they had really be lieved that the American Union and its insti tutions would be as short-lived as hey pre tended, they would have embarked without reserve in the interests of the Confederacy ; for, if the political fabric here were truly Ihe rotten affair it was declared to be, and needed but a. blow to fall into ruins, then was Britain's opportunity to give the cvupde grace. It was not civen. Britain stood in awe of the very government which she pre tended was the feeblest and most ephemeral on earth. It would be well for our country and well for themselves, if the Americans, who give voice to these old chronic ideas of English men to thc disparagement of our institutions, would observe thc acts of England on this subject rather than her words. Doubtless there are many who sincerely think that our government is approaching its end. There have been many causes well calculated to 'produce this species of idiosyncracy. The ' minds of men, in certain stages of religious and political progress, are apt to go off into extravagances of enthusiasm or despondency. Within the memory of the present generation there was a period of religious revivals, run ning through several years. The very natu ral sequel of this state of protracted religious exaltation, was the rise of Millcrism. People, got tob "high" in their feelings for this troublesome and wicked little planet of ours and insisted that thc Archangel Gabriel was ;a!out to blow his trumpet, and summons them away into realms more conrer,ial witVt.Tw.5r sublimated feelings. But they were mistaken. Satan had still more trials in store for them on the earth. For seven years past wc have had an oppo site state of experience on secular subjects. Everything lias gone mightly against us of the South in the world of politics. Provi dence, which scourgeth whom it lovctli, has laid its hand most heavily and angrily upon us. Vast numbers of pur people have been ruined. All have been seriously injured me wnoie population have had cause of grief and mourning. Naturally enough, the public minds has fallen into a despondent mood. In many instances have individuals allowed their feelings to relapse into cxrava gdnce of wretchedness. The case, in many of its features, is too sacl for reproof. Indi- vidualsjhere and there, will sink beyond re demptidh, under the adversity which has em braced all. But publicly and collectively, there is one solace for all this despondency, and that is found in the bright and prosperous future that awaits America, if our people South and North only prove worthy of a great destiny The faulty if we fail to realize a splended fu ture, willnot be in our institutions. It will not be in any of the radical changes now as- A 1, "1 - . , . scning memseives, as results ot. our recent civil war. It will not be in the form of our government, or in the physical conditions or extent of our county. Nor will it be in thc lack of any essential virtue or talent with held by nature from the American people. The public ruin will come, if it come at all, through the people's own want of faith in thenlselves and in their government. Free institutions can stand the test of centuries if the people resolve that they shall. If not, k then there will soon b no staple government on earth ; for the tendency of public opinion everywhere is, to substitute popular institu tions for arbitrary forma of authority. . t : Public virtue is not extinct. Popular wis . ; : I doiu is not a myth.- Democracy isaturou- lent genius ; but its peculiarity is, to grow more robust aula powerful by its very turbu-. ledce. Our institutions are not tn extremis. America is as yet but a half-grown youth, not come to man's estate or mature reflection, and busily engaged in sowing 44 wild oats. For ninety yeirs it enjoyed the easy expen iianA n. taste of trouble and turmoil J. V KUU W T - The latter experience is more useful and ofitable than the former was. It will prove 1 ; . -w i 1 the making Of the country. .Let us nave faith in our America. Let us anticipate for it the glorious career which it may commana, aind, by aciinjg on the belief, secure its real- izntion.' Disloyalty to the Union has had its day, and was,jafter all, a minor misdemeanor. J The worse crime, the " unparaonaoie sin m tie political Category of crime, is disloyalty to free governments and republican institu- tions. Let not our aoutnern peopie, uuuer any temptation, take tnat sin upon ineir souls. ' Pcttino Up Sweet Corn. The time will ' . .

Rules Fto Cow Management.-Cows ghould mn d six weeka before calving; if h . , j r ?lU b P001"' A cow newly come in should should not drink cold water in cold weather, but rhod- erately warm slop. Calves intended for raising, should be taken from the cow within a few days, and they will be less liable to Suck when tlhey are old. Feed them first on new milk fojr awmle, then skim milk, taking Care that all the changes are gradual, by adding only! a portion at first. Hearty ealters are desirable for cows and mav nsuallv be selected while calves A dainty calf iwill be a dainty cow. Ileafers dried up too early after calving will alwavsSrun-drv about the same time in in after )-ears therefore be careful to milk closelv the first year, until about six weeks before calving. Spring cows should come in while they are yet fed on hay, and before they arc turned to grass, wich will be more likely to prevent cakied bag and milk fever. The bank of England, when a counterfeit of one of itat notes is presented at the counter, it is stated, (nstantly pays over the gold to redeem it. If it comes from some unknown person he only asked where he got it. If from a stranger, the cashier signals to his detective, always in waiting, and the officer follows hiin secretly.

By the by, did it ever occur to jou that you were jdrinking more California wine than your liills call for ? Such is the case, and hereafter when you call for a bottle of some high-priced foreign wine at your hotel or restauraijit, don't be too sure that you are not drinking the juice of the California grape, in iipite of the label. I know one firm in Saiji Francisco which shipped over $100,000 Tjvorth of California wine, say 300,000 gallons, to New York last year, and have already, this season, sent 100,000 gal lons since April 1. This is all drank by somebody, you may be sure, and, if it is not sold under California brands, it is bottled as imported, jand you pay double, treble, or quadruple jtvhat you should for it.

SOW A MAN'S HAIR IS BRUSHED BY MACHINERY. .There are a number of establishments throughout London, however, for brushing the hair by machinery, xiua la ouuatvuw far superior to anything of the kind in vogue in America. Enter one of these rooms, and along the ceiling with pulleys upon it at regular intervals. Beneath each pulley is a barber's chair, with a flexible.band of india j rubber extending down froni above.

There are hundreds of these establishments in England, their number isonstantly increasing. and HOW TO BECOME A MILLIONAIRE John McDonough, the Millionaire of New Orleans, has engraved upon his tomb a scries of maxims lie had prescribed as the rule for his guidance through life, and to which his success in business is mainly attributed. They contain so much wisdom that wo copy them : Rules for the Guidance of my life, 1804. Remember that labor is one of the condi tions of our existence. Time is "old : throw not one minute away, but place each one to "account. Do unto all men as you would be done bv. Never put off till to-morrow what can be done to-day. Never bid another do what you can do yourself. Never covet what is not your own. Never think any matter so trifling as not to deserve notice. Never give out that which does not first come in. Never spend but to produce. Let the greatest order regulate the transactions of your life. Study in your course of life to do the great est aniQunt of tjood. Dejirive yourself of nothing necessary to your qomfort, but live in an honorable sim plicity. Labor, then, to thc last moment of your existence. Pursue strictly the above rules, and the Divine blessing and the riches of every kind will flow upon you to your heart's content: but, first of all. remember that the chief and great duty of your life should be to tend, by all means in your pow er, to the honor and glory of our Divine Creator. The conclusion to which I have arrived is, that without temperance there is no health ; without virtue no order ; without religion no happiness ; and that the aim of our being is to live wisely, soberly and righteously. Jxo. McDoNOucn. New Orleans, March 2, 1804. Religious Belief of the Esquimaux. The distinguished Northern voyager, Dr. Hayes, in a lecture gave a brief description of the Esquimaux, their habits, mode of liv ing, religion, etc. They believe in a future state, a good and bad spirit, a heaven and hell. The abode of happiness they consider a green island where no ice is and there is plenty to cat and nothing to do. The place of punishment is about the reverse. The evil spirit is said to be the good spirit's wife! She lives under the water, and has the power to call thc seals and walrusses when she is, angry ; so the Esquimaux try to propitiate her by throwing salt meat into the water, thinking if she is well fed she will be good natured. They were described as a peacea ble, well-disposed people, deserving sym pathy, but rapidly dying out from the in creasing severity of the climate. Dr. Hayes thinks that one or two generations will see their extinction. This refers to those in the northern portion of Greenland. In the south ern part they are more civilized, Christian ized and lead useful lives, hunting, selling furs, etc.. to European traders. Cotton ExportatkN8. From the first of September, 1866, to August 12th, 1867, there were exported from New York, Liverpool and other European ports, 466,857 bales of cotton, as follows : To Great Britain 373,518 bales; to France 28,344 bales: to North Europe 61,450 bales ; and to other foreign points 3,155 bales. From other ports in the United States, there were exported to Great Britain, since September first, 1,200,407 bales; to Fnmce 198,041 bales; to North Europe 93,579 bales; and to other foreign ports 41,883 bales. The total number of bales exported to foreign ports from all points in the United States, including New York, since September 1, 18G5, was 1,542,956 bales, which is an increase of 29,989 bales over the amount shipped during the same time in 18G5. Allowing 400 lbs to thc bale we get 617,182,400 pounds, which, at 25 cents per lb., about 3 cents more than its present price in Liverpool, would have yielded $154,295, 600. Such is merely the Southern contri bution of one of its staples, to our foreign exportations. The New York Tribune Association has decided to erect a new edifice, at a cost of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. It is to be built upon the site of the present building. Honoring Rebels in Kentucky. The Frankfort Commontcealih gives the antece dents of the men just elected to State offices in Kentucky by 4O,Q00 majority : " Gov.

" Cheap Tea Coming. There is good news for tea-drinkers. A dispatch from India announces that the tea markets in China have opened at prices one-third lower than at the opening of last year. The tea mer chants of London, who have been holding back their supplies in the hope of raising prices, have, it is said, received advices to realize, Voting Population of the ten South ehn States.

If these figures are correct the number of males in the State would stand about thus: 82,022 whites, and 85,641 blacks. These figures would give to the whites majorities in the First, Second, Third and Fifth Congressional districts. Domestic Economy. We find some good hints as to domestic economy, in-these days, thrown out by some enlightened cotempo rary, who says : A pump at the door, a dairy in the yard a kitchen under the same roof a cooking stove instead of a fire place built to hold a cord: seasoned fuel cawed and split, and placed under a convenient shelter; a washing machine and wringer, a sewing machine, these and other conveniences fur nished to our wives would enable them to manage their domestic affairs with one-fourth the former number of servants and with more case and comfort. As servants arc not to be had as in times past, these economical expedients become absolutely necessary ; and every husband worthy of the name will take care to supply them before the ladies are worn down in their attempt to conduct their household operations after the former man ncr with the few domestics now at command Cotton Seed as Manure. A correspon dent of thc Wilmington Journal calls the attention of Farmers to a very great loss they sustain in the manner of applying cotton seed as a manure, suggests a different mode. A large per cent, of the seed, whether com posted or applied directly to thc soil, germi nate. This consumes the oil for which the seed is mainly valuable. I believe, too, that the seed lose much of their value, when they do not germinate, by the heating caused by fermentation. Whatever will kill the seed, whether cold or heat, must destroy much of its oily and more volatile parts. would suggest, as a remedy, that the seed be ground or beat, -and applied to the ground at planting time. The "little giants," as the corn and cob crushers are called, would be an excellent machine for the pur pose. Onc of these would grind for a neigh borhood. When this was impraticable, I would try a mortar and pestle. Graftino. The Germanton Telegraph says every farmer should do his own graft ing an easy operation when one knows how. A sharp knife and a fine saw are pre -requisites to the operation. Saw off the limb to be grafted, and split the stock so as not to bruise it. The scion wedge fashion, both ways with the bark uninjured. Place the rim of the wood of stock and scion exactly together that the sap may intermingle, and wax the section of contact well over. Two buds to a graft are sufficient. In making wax take four parts of rosin, one of beeswax, and one of the best kind of tallow. Melt and mix together, and when wanted, heat and apply to the point or junction of the stock and graft. The heating can be done on a porta ble stove or by a small fire made on the ground where labor is to be performed. Dickens. Mr. Dolby, the agent of Mr. Dickens, arrived in the Java last week, and is now in New York. - He comes to prepare the way for a course of readings, by Mr. Charles Dickens, in our principal cities. Mr. Dolby will look over the ground carefully, and if it appears that the enterprise will be attendcd witlr success or profit, he will so rePrtto Mr. Dickens, and that distinguished novelist will visit this country and give read ings from his own works. Couldn't Sell His Corn. A Connecticut exchange tells the following story of a boy who was sent from ,Croton, Conn., to New London, last summer, with a bag of green corn to sell. The boy was gone all day and returned with the bag unopened, which he dumped on the floor saying, " There is your corn, go and sell it yourself, I can't." " Sold any?" "No," said the boy, was all over London with it, and nobody $aid any thing about green corn. Two or three fellows asked me what Td got in my bag, and I told them 'twas none of their business.". The boy reminds us of business men who do not or will not recognize the benefits of adver tising. TEE BEPTTBLLOdM COUNTY MEETING. Tho. finnntv Rennblican Meeting, held yes-1 terday, for thepurpose of selecting delegates to go? to the Convention at Baleigh, on the 4th off September, was well attended Dy. both races. An j excellent spirit prevailed. Several speeches were made which were received with great enthusiasm. Two or three im portant resolutions were unanimously passed, which will be found in the official proceed ings published in another column. Among thc resolutions, was one emphati cally endorsing the Republican platform adopted at the Convention held at Raleigh on the 27th of March last, and instructing delegates appointed to the September Con vention, to adhere closely to trie same. The Executive ReDublican Committee of the County, was also instructed to take effi cient steps toward County organization. Fifty delegates were selected to attend the Raleigh Convention- about one-half white and the other colored. A large number of those appointed have indicated intention to be present ; it is hoped they will be able to e-o. We can sav to our friends in other counties, that so far as Craven is concerned, a most cheering result will be shown at the coming election. Onward to Victory ! is the watchword. Newbem Republican. REPUBLICAN MEETING AT MOSELY HALL. A Republican meeting was held at Mpsely Hall on Monday, the 19th instant, which was largely attended by citizens of both races. A noticeable feature was the ; attendance of a large portion of the persons who formerly opposed and many of whom are still counted among tne opposition ot tne uepuDiican party. The Hon. Richard W. King, of Kin ston, presided. In a brief and eloquent ad dress, he alluded to the importance or a restoration to the Union, and introduced the Hon. David Heaton, of New Bern, who spoke for about an hour and a half. Col. Heaton's speech, was in elucidation of the principles of the Republican party. He maintained that through its triumph only would peace and prosperity be brought again to our peo pie. Thc utmost enthusiasm prevailed; and excellent order maintaned throughout the meeting. The audience was about two-thirds colored. Newbern Republican. The Sunken Lake. The Sentinel, pub lished at Jacksonville, Oregon, of the 12th ult. , says : Several of our citizens returned last week from a visit to the great Sunken Lake, situ ated in Cascade Mountains, about 75 miles Northeast from Jacksonville. This lake rivals the famous valley of Sinbad the sailor. It is thought to average 2,000 feet down to the water all round. The walls are almost per pendicular, running down into the water, and leaving no beach. The depth of the water is unknown, and its surface is smooth aud unruffled, and it lies so far below the surface of the mountain that the air currents xlo not affect it- Its length is estimated at 12 miles, and its breadth 10. No living man ever has, and probably never will be able to reach the water s edge. It lies silent, still, and mysterious m tne bosom ot tne "ever lasting hills" like a huge well, scooped out by the hands of the giant genii of the moun tain in unknown ages gone by, and around it the primeval forest watch and ward are keeping. The visiting party fired a rifle several times into the water at an angle of 45 degrees, and, were able to denote several seconds of time from the report of the gun until the ball struck the water, Such seems incredible, but is vouched for by some of our most trustworthy citizens. The lake is cer tainly a most remarkable curiosity. Davidson College, Nortii Carolina. This venerable institution of the Presbyte- rian church still retains its old time popu larity. It has now a full board of eminent instructors, an endowment fund of nearly two hnndrcd thousand dollars, and is fully armed and eon mned for efficient service in the higher walks of learning. We are grat- lhed to learn thatProf. W. G.

Etifaula News. Longevity. In less than a week, three of the oldest residents of Norfolk have passed from earth, viz : Capt. Wm. Taylor, aged 94 years; Mrs. Martha F.

Englishmen are asking what the czar is borrowing so much money for. He asks for 20,000,000 sterling. The Honolulu Advertiser predicts that within a few years a submarine telegraph will be laid between that ity and San Francisco. The odoriferous Limburger cheese is now manufactured in New York, which accounts for one of the city's horrible smells. A veteran observer remarks that the short articles in a newspaper are usually the first to be read, and the longest to be remem bered. The Fenian picnic at Chicago was thrown into confusion by parties who went there for that purpose, and not by the Fenians them selves. Punch knows a gentleman so guarded in his remarks, lest he should wound anybody's feelings, that he will not even use a personal pronoun. Scott's Ocean Yacht Troupe is the title of a dramatic company travelling by yacht. They are visiting all the principal towns on the Hudson river. Some 300 converts recently left Wales arid Scotland for Utah. The ladies are described as healthy, ruddy, and buxom, and they bring some seven thousand dollars in money with them. Computation of interest at 7.30 per cent. is a difficult operation for people who have not observed that 730 is twice 365, and that 7.80 per cent per annum is accordingly two cents a day on every hundred dollars.

Sickles has written a letter to Washington in support of his order prohibiting the im mediate collection of debts, in which he says If the United States courts in the rebel states be allowed to control the military au thorities, the execution of the reconstruction acts will, for obvious reasons, soon become impossible. Some of these courts begin by declaring tne acts ot congress void." The following statement in relation to Sick les' orderNo. 10, Jand the executive order thereupon, will correct current misapprehen sions : " On the 17th instant the instructions sent to Gen. Sickles exceDtiner United States courts from military orders were suspended1 until his report and views upon the subject coulu e received, un tne lYtn tne com- manding officer of Wilmington reported that the attorney general had instructed the mar shal of North Carolina to proceed to enforce executions of the U. S. courts threatening prosecutions against persons preventing him. Instructions were issued to Col. Frank by Gen. Sickles not to permit the order of any court to be enforced in violation of existing orders, and to report fully upon cases pend ing. These occurrences having been report ed to the war department, instructions orig inally sent to Gen Sickles have be with drawn." i Why Send Your Work Abroad ?

The Wardens and Vestry men, in accepting his resignation, communi cated their profound regret at his decision and paid a high tribute to his ustf ulncss and Christian zeaL We learn that Judge Gilliam, now holding his Fall Courts, has decided Hhat the recent suspension of section H, of General Order No. .32, does not apply where the jury lists have already been revised. In Catawba county they had been so revised, and among the jurors drawn were two negroes, whom he allowed to serve. In this county, the lists had also been re vised before the suspension, and the jnrors for the ensuing Superior Court drawn, amon wnom were also colored men. We doubt not that Judge Fowle will take the same view with Judge Gilliam, and allow them to serve. Old North State. Freckles. At this season of thc year many of our lady readers are annoyed with freckles.
