It will not take one montb long to come and go, and then she matt leave ber beautiful bon:e and go oat to bat tle with tnccold hard world, and as yet she baa no idea where she will go She writes to a great many dfl rent places, and also writes to Madame Lamar, think-, ing, perhaps, she will have a va cant place for tbe next term. Then the days of suspeuse tbat that she has to endure yntil sh nan her from her letters. So basa little money, but, o conre, sbe has to be vt ry careful about ppt-nding it.

Mdame La mar writes a very kind and moth erlv letter, but near the clnso tells Lorena that she ba already em ployed the same teachers that 8be has had be! re, and is very gnrry that she will rot have any place for her.

Both yonng and old alike agree that things are not what they seem. When we ook about us, at tbe chaug'ng scenes of this world, and wt'ch them as tbey'fade away, wiihont yielding any satisfaction, we are constrained to exclaim, a,.l i not gold tba?glittera.n How de lug, vc are tbe periahiug thingaol earth t Dow many "air castas" have been reared by eage bundt, just beginning to ba c with life. Air cagilea, brilliant and glowing wilh tht warmth'ot loveaudhap pine; one momeut reaching almost lo the'skies and the next crushed to the earth, lraving scarcely a trace behind to tell where tbey once stood. Soch i ife; ever changing,ever hoping, ever sorrowing" under th blight of mi-fortune grasping at phan toms, which glide away with aoineless rapidity, and yet oar empty hanua Hill teep np their unerring, but hopeless, seeking visions ot wealth and tamo glit ters before us, while tbe gentle breeze fans our heated hiow ; but, oh, bow tbe brightness fades into gloom as tbe btern realities of lifeurat tiioa us, as we fiud t too true all is not gold that that glitters ' Tbe young man cf wealth, o polite and smiling, as be stands behind the rtoanter,or escort the city belle to tbe opera or ball, ab ! would the lair girl recognize her handsome adorer! Coald she behold him a few boors latr as he enters the gambling saloon aud draips the intoxicaiiog cup todregs.fnutteringljornbkoatB, as he 16 ee, again and again playing in and on, until morn ing dawiis, 1 hardly think she would, the contrast is too gret: How many -in tbe great citie, who splu.rgs aronnd in costly rai ment, giving the fiaeet dinner parlies, and if their debts were paid, would not be able to bay them a cigar or pocket banker chief. They scorn those who are honest acd bard-working, bat t-r? long the instable otah' comes upon i hem and we again tiud "all u not goid that glitter." i . Euli..

S Mr. Editor: Your correspon dent, inl comoany with three or four down on hundred o'.ber, went a Sunday School excur sion to.Kew 15erne onesterday. There wre only three cars when the train left Smithfleld. each of which was filled, but before reach ing Goliboro they were packed to overflowing. Another car was booked On atfroldsboro, and tba four Trerft Illed. On arrival of tbe excursion traim at Kinstoo, there were over one hundred persons in waiting to aTaii them selvea of a clieap trip to New r,mft- 'ta faflilh ear was taken on, audau were utterly inu.

The excursion train arrived at Sraitbaelil about midnight on its return, tliere having been no ac cident to! niarr the pleasures of the trip, j However, one gentle man (whose name I'll omit) sut frred the draf of wind, that was pASoing oyer the heads ot those unfortunate ones who were forced to stand on the platfcrm between the cars, to lift his bat and gen tly carry' it oft. floating over the truck patches 6f Graven ; but after roanjing the streets of New Berne fcr halfn hour in seareh oi a bat jhonse, he came forth with bia Cranium covered with a cheap straw.

Washington Letter, I Froaa our Regular Correspondent; j Washington, 1). C, May H. The city is now full of l)em ot riiic ''politicians who are here for tbe purpose of carrying the Admiuistratiou by force. The throng of mere office seekers have Jeff, and an entirely differ encclass of politxians Have been cjniing in within the lat few day. As a rule those men are not asking for appointments for themselves or their friends, bet merely demand that the party be recognized. They do not do nonnce ths administration pob hclr, but wherever they call on the President, or meet a cabinet officer they urge the policy of makincr wholesale removals of Republicans and of filling their places with Democra'ic workers. Considerable significance is at tached to a conference vhicti oc curred between Mr. Kandill, Chairmam Barnnm, and Seereta. vry Manning, dming which Ap pointmeut ,Clerk Higgins was sent tor and consulted. It is al leged that the elibrt is ' being made to, reach the President through utmost confidence in the political sagacity of the Seereta ry of the Treasurer, and a'S'j in bis .influence over Mr. Cleveland.

The new sixth Auditor of the Treasury is credited with having gotten up a faealth report," showing how sickucss has given placelo health among the clerks under him. He baa prepared a record of the sick leaves of tho three hundred and seventy em plojes of his office fcr several ciouths past, from which he draws the inference that sick leaves v.ry with the supposed necessity tor making good re cords. In times when changes and dismissals are to be fgared it is assumed that there are fw sick leaves and that they increase in proportions as duties can be neglected with impunity.

VUrs. uretn is iu tue.aiw:uen, busy cleaning np fie breakfvt dis!:c. Sh saya she wah's to sou the beds todAy," or lease brated it to me at the table this morning, and, Mr. Editor, I cao-f nrt write long as I am only wri- ting at. intervals, bstween tho my smoko is through, 1 shall have to stop. Mrs. Green has a lot of 'little chickenr, and she worries herself and tries to worry every one else ai much as she can. She says the hawks have not yet troubled her, but she does not know how soon they will, and she wants me to have my gun ready to give them a round when they do-come I wanted to go fishing myself, and tried to get Mrs. G. to go wivh me, but she refused by saying she could not leave ber cbickens She says the way to have any foing is to take careof it. T tc!d her "Yes," and the vrerto t--3 csre ox iv wca uvu wv ii--. tba reckoned, cii IV vtt thrc furniture- and caning up ia general, that she wcrald &on to morrow. v , What do j the young fblkallk to think anoVtalk about! k Wbyr when I was a young mn, and used to fly around the girls, ettU qaette was not held up to such a heiebth as 'tis now vy ny, i. used to go fu see my intended fMrs. G.V v th my every-day clothes on ; that is with a plain homespun shirt, home-made pants, and a good genteel pair of brocran shoes, aod with a coat to manh mv nthr drpM. and with Uiaiuu w - j - : this, I felt like ! was good enoaga- lo go wiiu me rwuctv.

This is an age of progress, though. But I will stopfer fear, Mr. Editor, you will think me an Old fogy. ( i like to 6ee new things.
