We doubt not that numbers of persons have f.iiled in business from a constitution al inaptitude which could by no 1 means have been remedied. Their instincts have all been in another direction. Some men can never bring themselves up to the point of therivalry in trade which is necessary to success. They were intended for something else. The quiet and un-. obtrusive nature prefers the smooth j path, "trusting Providence and taking ; what comes along Personat. Dr. Jones, of High Point, went home on the train this morning. Mr. Fon. Smith started to David son College this morning. We learn with regret of the severe illness of two of Mrs. Oates' children, a son and daughter. They are said to be extremely ill. Yet there are not a great many cases ot sickness accoiding to our information. It is stated in some of our ex changes that the finest exhibit made at Boston by any State except Mas sachusetts is from North Carolina. Among the articles shown is'"a huge still" which "illustrates the process of liquor making." We have had at least a forcible reminder of the autumnal season The sky has been wearing a sort of frown v which was forbidding, and there is a cricket-like insect whose voice is pro phetic of chilling winds and leaden skies. A more doleful note we do not wish to hear. The weather for a day or two past has been such as to prove de pressing to persons of certain mental habits. This mental depression is the source of much unhappiness, and in many cases, no doubt, the suffer ers arc unable to give any satisfactory account of their condition. They are in sympathy with the weather, and none of us can tell why it is so. Whether any persons are wholly ex empt from this sympathy we do not know. Up to a certain point we ap prehend that the melancholy experi enced is somewhat pleasing, but be yond that it becomes painful. As to the best remedy for shaking oil' this incubus, we believe i-t has been re commended that the sufferer lay hold of some active work, the more benev olent in its nature the better, say, visit some sick or distressed per son and render them assistance. By the wav, do not wait until you feel badly and need recreation before you think of ministering to your suffering fellows. "A mouse veryert"ly produced a panic in the Richmirnd theatre the other night. A lady lelt it run across her foor and the Jcreaturc fairly screamed.

Esop te Is how a mouse 'that had been spared by a lion after- wards knavved in two the meshes of a 1 net by which the sam e lion w as held, i and thus obtained lihe rtv for the noble beast. Quite a different story is told of another mouse (or rat, as the case maybe). An aged gentleman and his wife were once si :ting and chat ting quietly in their slug parlor when a mouse (or rat) ran icross the floor. They both saw it about the same moment, but the wife spoke first "There goes a mouse !" "No," said the husband, "it wasn't a mouse, it was a rat." But the old lady in sisted it was a mouse", while the old gentleman was equally certain it was a rat. As a matter of course there was a long , dispute But neither would yield the point, believing that a great principle was involved. Cer tainly it couldn't . have been both a mouse and a rat, and each one insist ed on being possessed of the taith of the matter. The quarrel ran high, publ appointed to a cunimon.meetK.g, anj when that meeting was held they passed resolutions declaring that the cause of the peop.e at Boston was the cause of every American citizen. Appluase And they gathered up from the colony shiploads of provis ions, and brought them to your har bor and emptied them into the lap of your people. Applause We think down in North Carolina that your people are suffering again, and we have come to you relief. We under derstand that you arc suffering with too much money and too much popu lation, and we have gathered up our shipload again, and we have brought it and put it upon exhibition, and this time we want you to pass resolutions and that those resolutions be that the cause of the people of North Caroli na and the entire South in the strug gle for development and prosperity is the cause of every American citizen. Applause There may be, my friends, here and there, scattered over the South, some man now and then who sits by the dead ashes of the past to brood over them. There may be now and then at the North, a man who will point to such an indi vidual as the representative of the South.
