A few nights since an army officer was
standing in front of one of our city hotels,
deeply meditating on something only known
to himself, when he was addressed by a
colored individual, who inquired if that was
Captain C. Upon the captain’s answering
in the affirmative he was informed by the
gentleman of color that there was a person
in the shape of a female, who wished to see
him at the corner above.
Now, we will say here that the brave
captain had been struck somewhere in the
region of the heart -with an arrow from Cu
pid’s how, and that he had fixed that very
night to ask that same question whicli so
i many have asked, viz., “Will yon have
j me?” hut still he was ready for some ro-
' mance if it came in the way. He accord-

PY-
/ A few y’ears of unremitting labor, energy’
and enterprise will bring about a very’great
change. The sources whence must come
our relief, are the soil—from agriculture,
from our exliaustless foi'csts. Coal, Iron
and Gold Mines. To develop these resour
ces it is necessary’ to work—to work wdtli
miglit and main, w'ith brain and hands,
then will come sui*ely*, if slowly’, the recom
pense—health wealth and consciousness of
liaving made an effort, a successful effort,
to assist our State on its W’ay to prosperi-
M e have no doubt, many’ of our young
are deterred from starting out in cnterpii-
ses because of the want of capital—we ad
mit this is very desirable to have, y’ct, is
not so indispensable, as many think. We
have in our mind now, some figures, made
upon the crops of 1866 and ot this year,
wdiich w’ere tlie result of hard w’oik—w-ith
the hands and arms, of, in some cases, the
inexperienced in labor, Avhich are very’ flat
tering—and which are larger in net cash
ilie salaries of many officials,
professional men, or businesB men of our
city—money earned by the “sweat of the
brow ”—money earned with efforts that
make its possession pleasing and gives an
iiidejicndence, a self-reliance, which make
men great in everything.
Around us on every side are rich fertile
lands—untouched by’ the plow- or the spade,
readv to yield bountiously’, crops w-hich
w'ill pay large profits and sell for cafV —
crops which enter into the consumption of
every day’ life everywhere—as the w’orld
inc uses in population and w’ealth so comes
tb iBcreascd demand.
Tc the unemployed w’c suggest the com-
inciicement of fiirming upon a small scale,
a small farm well cultivated will yield
larger profits iu proper than a large one ;
in Europe wliere land is scarce and high,
three to five acres are considered a good
farm, :ind this, cultivated to the higliest
point of production, gives results which
woiu^ astonish some of our possessors of
ihou.-ands of nn])roductive acres. Added
to all the other h(*nefi s of fanning in this
sectidi is this veiy imp'rtant one —that is,
that after jiroducing enough provision for
family support — the remaining crop of
Cutten, Corn, Tobacco, Rice, Peanuts, Ac ,
are as good as cash iu Bank—they avill
bring Gold and Silver and are wanted
everywliore,
’I'lic prf sent harvest will soon he passed
and the summer over, soon another crop is
to he planted. Even now’, in a few’ w'ceks
the ground should be broke up for the com
ing season. Men everywhere are wanted
to ciiihark in tliis healthy and lucrative bu
siness—there are millions of acres of unim
proved land in our State of North Caroli-

the gold mines of California. We invite

Curing Lamb Skins.—A correspon
dent of the Country Gentleman gives the
following directions :
“ As soon as the skin is taken from the
animal, stretch it tightly’ on a hoard, flesh
side out; then, before it begins to dry’, I
apply an equal mixture of fine salt and al
um, thoroughly’ pulverized together, until
the skin is slightly’ whiteiK'd hy’ the mix
ture. I then take no further notice of the
skill nutil I w’ant them for use, (whicli i.s
ahvays a few weeks from the time of a[)-
plying the mixture.) 1 then take them
and thoroughly wash them in warm soap
suds, let th(*ni diy moderately, and jmst
before they are fully dry’, rub them soft
with hands. After ruhhiug, they are soft
and pliable as a kid glove, and will con
tinue so. *
Another receipt is tlie following as we
find it in an exchatige :
“ Wlii?at flour, 2U pai't.s ; almn, S parts ;
salt, 3 parts. Pulvmizi*, mix and rub this
compound over the skin after nailing it
out tightly’. In about two w'et ks, nih the

To Protect Sheep from Dogs.—If
sheep are kepr in the same lot with cows
or fat cattle, no dog will disturb them.
As soon as the dogs approach the sheep,
tliey run to the cattle, who drive off the
dogs. A farmer for thirty’ years, iu Shel

The Pox—Goat—and the Carrots.
A fox and a goat were w'alking together
ou the main road. After having advanced
a few' yards they' saw’ a hag lying at the
side of tbe hedge.
“ I w'onder what there may he iu that
” said the goat.
“ I’ll see,” said the fox: aud putting
his mouth to :thc string w'ith which ihe hag
was tied he hit it fiirough iu a moment.—
Then seizing the bottom of the bag w’ith
his teeth, he shook it, and the most splen
did carrots rolled out.
“ Those ai-e for me,” said the fox, “for
I have opened the hag.”
“ You sha’nt touch them,” answ'ered the
goat, ‘‘else I’ll hatter y'ou with my' horns
till y'our ribs crack.”
The fox looked at the large lioins of the
goat, and showed lii.s ti'etli, The goat see
the foxes teeth, thought within himself,
‘‘ I don’t like tliose shar[) follows,” Atiil
the fox thought, 1 don’t believe my' ribs
would stand those horns.”
So tlu*y kept standing over the ctiri'Ois
and looking at each other, but neither hud
the courage to touch tlu' spoil.
After a jiause the fox said :
“ Whtit is the use of our standing here?
Let us see w hich of ns is the stronger.—
Yonder are two heaps of stones. ’Fake
vou one of them and I’ll take the other;
lie who first throws down his heap shall
have the carrots.”
“ Very well,” said the goat. So they
went each to his heap.
Tlie goat [ilaced himself ou his hind
legs, ami km)ck(*d with his horns till th-e
ground rehounded, hut the Inaip kept im
movable.
‘‘Yon don't hit hard enough,” strid tlw-i
fox ; ‘‘ Take a run at it.'”
The goat w’ent .a h w' stops hack, and ran
at the hea[) as violently ;is he could.—
Crack I Crack I and both horns fell to the
ground,.
When the fox saw’ this he comineuc-
ed dancing on his hind legs.
“Ah, my dear fellow',” ciied the fox,
“ the carrots tire now for me.”
■“ Not yet,” said tlu* goat. “ Y'ou haveirt
thrown down your heaji, and if y'Ou touch
the eurisits before then. I’ll fight you with
the etumjis lhat are left on my head.”
The fox looktvl at the gloat’s stumpa,
and thought, “ Gne of them is very sharp;
he might rij* up iKy’ sides.”
“ Very w(*ll,” he said, “ i’ll throw down
my heap ; it’s a trifle to me.”
The fox began digging round w’itli his
fore-feet till there was a large hole in the
ground. Tin* heaj) tottered aud ft'll, hut,
halloa I it fell on the fox, and broke his
left hind leg.
There they' stood, looking at one anoth
er with a sad countemuiee ; the one with
broken horns, the other with a broken leg.
“.Jump at the carrots,” said tin* goat
maliciously’. ‘‘ I now leave tlu in to yon.”
“ I can’t,” sighed the fox; “my leg
pains me too much. You may’ take tlu in.’'’
“ V(‘rv w 11,” said the goat, and run to
ward the bag. But, () ■ dear I then; was
neither hag nor cjirrois ; for during their
([uarrel a [leastint had pa.ssed hy and pick
ed up hotii.
“ Alas !” cried the goat, “ what
fools we are I Had we diviih-d the trea
sure in jioaco, I should have .saved my
horns, you your leg, and each of us would
have had (.nough of carrots.”
