has never known an instance where they
did nof give perfect satisfaction. Several
thousand boxes have been sold within the
last year, restoring to health persons in
almost every stage of consumption, and
those laboring under the most distressing
colds and coughs. They do not check
and dry up the cough, but render it easy,
promote expectoration, allay the tickling
or irritation, and remove the proximate
or exciting cause. They are made from
a combination of the most valuable expec
torant or cough medicines, and are un
doubtedly superior to every thing in use
for those complaints. Hundreds upon
hundreds of certificates have been offered
of their wonderful virtues, from those
who have been saved from an untimely
grave, and restored to perfect healthy by
using them.

FAREWELL TO MISS E .
Farewell, sweet girl I must away,
Fate's decrees are cold and chill;
My fortune calls, I must obey.
But yet 'tis sad against my wild.
Adieu, sweet girl but for awhile,
From thee I cannot long remain;
Then let the gay, the sunny smile,
Illume that lovely brow againi
Earth's gay scenes may pass me by,
In them no joy I can find:
For all my loveliest visions fly,
Now I leave my girl behind.
Dearest girl! where'er I go.
Thine impress in my breast I bear;
W hether in joy or sunk in wo,
I feel thy spirit with me there.
Whate'er in joy or grief await
My being here whate'er my lot,
In thy smile or frowns my fate
Kemember'd or by thee forgot
On earth the gayest brightest beam
Of hope that wakes a charm for me,
Is but to think to feel to dream
That 1 am not forgot by theei Fi L V.
FOR. THE TARBORO PRESS.
A BRIEF ACCOUNT OF MYSELF, &c.
"A d d odd genius" for a town.
A long score of years have I lived in this city,
And 'a d d odd genius" have 1 been all the
while;
My wtys have been such, 1 have excited no pity,
Nor have I by "O woman" been blest with a
smile.
Aloof have I stood, oh, from woman's society.
Like a hermit I've liv'd, like a fool to myself
'Tis said I have become most anti-sobriety,
And pay poor attention to the things on the shelf.
Now be this as.it "may be," my task is before me,
And well chalk'd tiut by wisdom, which none can
deny;
Not cut out-for greatness, I aspire to no glory.
Save honor, uprightness, which I'll maintain till I
diet
Oh! most cruel is the fate of a worm like myself,
Thus doom'd as I am, oh! to die without a wife;
And to live all alone, watching the things on the
shelf.
Like a cat watching mice, is a miserable life.
Yet my task is chalk? d out, which I've got toper
form. My Master demands it, and I've got to obey;
And 'tis just so with all, however humble the
worm,
There's a part in the drama he must certainly
play.
Life's but .theatre, and we have all got to play
Our part on the stage, for a part is assign'd us;
And so whether we "hoe corn," or gamble, preach
or pray.
We are nought but mere models for those left be
hind us. YARD STICK.

RESOURCES OF NORTH CAROLI
N A.
The Statesman and Legislators of Amer
ica are beginning to appreciate the impor
tance of statistical information. A correct
knovN ledge of the resources and condition
of the country must be essentially useful to
every one who is called upon to legislate,
or who has any interest, indeed, in the
progressive improvement and rapid deve
lopment of the resources of the country.
No man can legislate properly, unless he
knows the field on which he is to act or
Ihe material which he is to employ. The
mind, in the Hall of legislation, may ex
haust itself in metaphysical speculation,- or
astonish by the splendor of its creations,
but its deductions can never be correct un
less the data which it employs, be true.
vVe have been led to these remarks by re
ceiving from a friend at Washington, a
large Tabular Sheet, exhibiting the aggre
gate of the Statistics of the United States,
taken in pursuance of an Act of Congress".
With some labor, vve have prepared from
this General Statement the subjoined con
densed account of the Statistics of North
Carolina, which may be interesting for pre
sent information,- and useful for future re
