The reference, in a recent number of this paper, to the eclipses of the sun and moon which may be expected to occur during the current year, and which was probably overlooked by very many be cause of its brevity, has suggested to me the thought that a more extended notice will be likely to greatly increase the in terest with which many readers will view ithe total solar Eclipse In August, 1869. I asm further encouraged to invite the readers of this paper to "a feast of science, ly the reflection that the rare occurrence of the phenomenon in qaestion will, when fcneere, ntake it attractive to many' who would net otherwise bestow upon it more than a passing thought. For though a solar eclipse, total at some point on the earth's surface happens almost yearly, yet so often does the shadow fall upon the un inhabited regions, that ninety nine men of every hundred die without ever having seen one. At London, the sun has been totally obscured but once during the last seven hundred years; while the last en tire solar eclipse at Paris occurred one hundred and forty-five years ago. There probably is not a person in this State who recollects baring witnessed one ; and a lartre number Of those who shall be per- - a at . at! W a -11 to behold that to wwca i reter wui certainly never another. It is this consideration of its imvtU v, added to its majesty, thai must render the phenomenon interesting to tho majority of those who will witneas it; for the multitude be expected to share the anxiety cannot of tbc thilosoplu-r, who, bent upon lucressma is knowledge of the ton a nature, and conscious that his life will afford but the) one opportunity to do so, naturally look J forward to such an event with much emo tion. The people of North Carolina are aa happily located for viewing this eclipse as they coeid have been had they been aya.f acttft,rf-'n rerojreriL - - -a to lb. .ik mat ..i. uioi:i.u-to w which great expeuMha sometimes incurred, will paaa aa if to force a recog nition, before our very doors. When, two years ago, ht Philadelphia, I made my calculations, I could, not hope so confidently aa I now can to be in pro per place at the proper time. 1 he axis of the full shadow will tall on a spot some what east of Lake 'Baikal, in Irkoutsk, Asia, on Saturday, the 7th of August, at about half past eight in the evening ; and soon as the sua rises the ignorant inhabi tants of that region will have cause to wonder at a retapso of approaching day into the darkness of night. If we follow the line traced by the center of the shadow as it passes over the earth'a surface in a north-eastern direction to Bchring'a Straits and over that water, we shall hare the point at which it will first touch North America. After continuing its progress 1 1 this direction for a time, it will take a south-easterly course. Skirting the Rocky Mountains, it will past through Montana, Dakota and South-western Minnesota in Iowa, and traversing Illinois and Ken tucky in the direction of a lino drawn from from Springfield to Salisbury, reach the borders of North Carolina. Let it be un derstood that it is the centre of the shadow which will follow tlie course indicated ; and that at the points within the vicinity of this line the eclipse mnst be complete. Indeed, at places no farther removed from it than Pittsburg, Pensylvauia, eleven digits will be obsenredjbj- Commencing aft the J north-west, the shadow will crosK iaferder, Watauga, sou t hern WUkeaAftaEier, Iredell, Ro wan, southern Davidson, Montgomery, .Moore, CadnMutud, southern Sampson, and New Hanover counties, and will final ly leave the earth's surface at a noint in the ocean (it sunt aAVp t WW mueiV"J our coast. The cent Jtill thus be about 60 miles diapfflomll ileigh at its nearest point and vhoirt the same distance from irecngbofvh the eclipse com mences on the DTOt'SLPl the 8th in Si beria, it is visible JreVVange though it seem, without thought,) itlJie evening of the 7th of August. The reflection, at the time of the occurrence of the phenomenon, that the shadow which hides our steeples has, only two hours and a quarter before, darkened the porcelain powers of China, and that none of the inhabitants of Eu rope and Africa, and but few in Asia and nutli America can share with us the spec tacle, (the eclipse being invisible in all of the two former and in parts of the last two) cannot increase our estimation of the privilege we are enjoying. 'The late hour at which the eclipse becomes visible to us may render it less striking than it would be were our position sufficiently to the north-west to allow us to visit it nearer the middle of the day ; bnt we shall bare the satisfaction of living the shortest day of our lives between the dawn with which the obscuration will terminate and the twi tight which must speedily follow. It is possible that some may be disappointed in the intensity of the darkness the eclipse ill occasion : but it is piobable that the fowls will seek their roosts, and subse quently by crowing announce the sup posed approach of a new day. An old man of eighty -nine who happens to coll bile I am writing, says that bis fattier was once compelled to rest on his plow while the unexpected night passed over htm. Such is the outline of What may be expected to occur in connection with that most sublime and the rarest of astromical phenomenon, a total eclipse of the suu ; m which I hope many may take consider able interest, inasmuch as the attention given to such things is always in propor tion to the intellectual advancement of a people. A Colored Idea of Business. We find the following scene in the Savannah Ad vertiser's report of a recent trial of a negro foi stealing cotton : Duringvhe progress on the trial a very black young man was placed on the wit ness stand by the prosecution, to testify as to conversations had with the prisoner. When asked what he was talking with him about, the witness said, "about how each was prospering in business ?" " VV hat was your business at that timet" "I was in de hog business !" "He was in the cotton business, was he t" "Yes sir." "Well, where are yon living at now I" "I'm boarding at de jail," 'What were you put there for 1" 'Stealing hogs." "How many did you steal ?"

His countenance assumed a livid Title ; the word scouted :c leave h i mouth without the matures altering their posi lion, so rigid was the look, so fearful was he least the slightest muscular movement should alarm the serpeut and hasten his bite.

ROMANTIC STORr. The Nashville Tennessee Press tells a romantic story of a Mrs. Harper, who waa won by ber first husband from a powerful , pertinacious and rancorous rival. After a year of wedded bliss, the husband sud denly disappeared and from that time, 1866, until a few weeks ago, nothing has been known of his whereabouts. The! widow married again, but ber second bus band disappeared as mysteriously as the first. In the meantime the unsuccessful lover of former days appeared and renewed acquaintance with the twice widowed flame of his yoqtb. Very re cently be was on the point of succeeding ; in feet, some preliminary arrangements were already made for a wedding, when a derangement occurred in the waterpipe which supplied the house of the widow in Sooth Nashville. Plumbers were set to work upon the pipe, but could make no improvement on it finally the street was ripped up to ascertain the cause of the water stoppage. It was found. At the month of the pipe, where it was at tached to the main street supply pipe, the skeleton of a hand was found ; the fingers were closed up like a knot, firmly jammed in O the small pipe. On being taken out, a jack-knife was found clutched to the fingers, covered with rust, of course, but sufficiently sound and perfect in shape to show that it had been once the property of the man to whom the widow was first married. Upon one of tho fingers was4 found also a diamond ring which her first husband wore when he left their house thirteen years ago. When these particu lars became known, the intended bride groom hastily left town, and the good la dy becamo sick. She has frequent spells of delirium, and fours are entertained by her physicians that her reason has been impaired by the shock of the discovery. Let tube Contented. Kothchild with all his wealth must be satisfied with the same sky that is over the head of the poor man. He eannot order a private sunset, that he may enjoy it with a select circle of friends nor can he add one single ray to the clear, bright beam of the queeii as she sails mag nificently ' through the heavens. The richest banker cannot have more than his share, of the air to breath, and the poor est of all men have the same. Wealth may buy a brilliant bracelet, dazsling with diamonds and rubies, but wealth can not buy a graceful and well turned arm on which to display its splendor. God only can give that ; and to many of the poor he has given it. " 1 wish I had the health of that rosy peasant girl," sighed the aristocratic in valid, propped up with pillows in her costly carriage. "Ah, me !" said the girl, if I could only ride in such styleas that !" Wealth cannot purchase health, nor can it give a contented mind. All that is most valuable can be had for nothing. They come as presents from the band of a kind and indulgent parent, and neither the air, nor the sky, nor beauty, health, strength, nor genius can be bought nor sold. What ever may the condition in life, remember these things, and therewith be content- A Laundry Recipe.

'band -A Many young people who have wealthy parents have no ambition for themselves beyond a mere butterfly existence. They affect ignorance or contempt of the bless ings of a life of labor. They scorn a trade and alight a profession, and think agriculture fit for boors. Soma one has well said "a man that is too well born for a trade la very well born for the gallows I" The best safeguard against the many temp tations wbieh assail our youth of both sexes is a well-defined, systematic habit of iiKluaarw, according to circumstances, " bewWn toow w their children iu idlei with a contempt for all useful occupation If parents are so well off that they do net require the assistance from their chil dren, either in tho house or elsewhere, tbey can at least teach them how to use well and beneficently the wealth a h ch has been acquired for them.

But no ! they must stay at borne and be supported as bents their means and position I As consequence, the young man falls into dissipation and disgrace, and is only res cued by the timely eflorts of the xoung Men's Christian Association rigorously made in his behalf.

Though they do not cost much, yet they accomplish much. They help one s own good nature and good will. Soft words soften our own soul. Angry words are fuel to the flame of wrath, and make them blaze more fiercely. Kind words make other people good na tured Gold words frecxo people, and hot words scorch them, and bitter words make them bitter, and wrathful words moke them wrathful. There is sneh a rush of all other words, in our days, that it seems desirable to give kind words a choice among them. There are rain words, and idle words, and hasty words, and spiteful words, and silly words, and empty words, and boisterous words, and warlike words. Kind words also produce their own image in men's souls. A beautiful image it is. Tbey soothe, and quiet, and comfort the hearer. They shame him out of his sour, morose, unkind fechags. Wc have not yet begun to use kind words in such abundance as they ought to be used. Item for Bachelors. A judicious Wife is always chipping off from her bus ban's moral nature lit lie twigs that are growing in wrong directions. She keeps him in shape by continual pruning. If you any anything silly, she will find means of preventing you doing it. And ty tar l ne chief part of all the common sense there is in this world belongs unquestionably to woman. The wisest tilings a man com monly does, are those which hia wife counsels him to do! A wife is the grand wielderofthe moral pruning-knife. If Johnson's wife bad lived, there would have been no hoarding up pf orange peel no touching all the posts- in walking along the streets no eating and drinking with a disgusting voracity. If Oliver Goldsmith had been married, he would never have worn that memorable and rid iculous coat. Whenever yon find a man whom yon know little about, oddly dress ed, or talking absurdly, or exhibiting any eccentricity of manner, yon may be toler ably sure that he is not a married man ; for the corners are rounded off the little shoots are pruned away, ia married men. Wives generally have mucb more sense thac their husbands especially when their husbands are clever ssen. The wife's advices are like the ballast that keens the ship steady. They are wholesome, though painful shear clipping off little growths of self-conceit. - LynJtburg Hem. .eenrarbte bxliwooem A professor Gamgee has within the last two years, we believe, brought to publio notice an invention of bis own for pre serving neat without salt so that it may be kept for inlimitrd period, retaining all the freshness of newly-killed meat. It 1 created quite a sensation when first an nounced. At onee was nrcaantcd the idea thatuiimala might be slaughtered in per fect health near the green pastures where tbey had luxuriated, and their meat, be ing dressed and preserved, could be safe ly conveyed to the great cities and then HMsi "'THwTafil i snsssnnaasn. jsw-sswubbb- of transportation of droves alive In railroad trains, arriving at their journey's end in bad condition and health, would be avoided, and in (numer ous ways the comfort and convenience of man would be promoted. Especially would the benefit of this invention mani fest itself by the earing of the meat of the rant herds that roam the plains of North and South America, whose carcas ses, disrobed of their skins, are loft to de cay or be devoured by wdd beasts. The anticipation of the great revolu ti n that such a discovery would pro luce WM pleasing, The quei tion arose, how ever, as to the cost of the process. There was the trouble. It utility depended al together on its cheapness. We apprehend the Professor has not yet reduced It down to the practical point, as no progress has been made thus far in the introduction of his cored mast aa an article of com merce. We saw hut summer a fillet of fine real and a fine chicken, that had been cured for four weeks, exhibited at the White Sulphur Springs. They were cooked there, and a number of gentle men tasted both, and testified that they were as sweet and Juicy as though kill- within twelve hours. We could isjhdily believe this from the appearance and the odor of the meat Wo had not heard of Professor Gam- gee's invention for some months until a day or two since, when the follow ing proceeding of the American Institute Farmers Club came to hand : ulhe New Method of Curing Meat. A series of experiments hare boon con ducted by order of General Eaton, Com missary of Subsistence in Waahingron, to test the value of Professor Gamgee's pro cess ot preserving meat xr. uram, ov sented a long report on the subject on the subject, setting forth details and princi ples involved in the operation and the satisfactory results obtained thus far : "1.
