North Carolina GolR.-It having been
doubted by many that gold has ever b. en-
found IN this state, To any extent, we deem
1t proper 10 state, foI the information of
those who have any doubts upon the slb.
lect, that, few weeks ago, Mr. Benz G.
Barker, merchant Of New York. showed Us
a quantity of pure Virginia gold, in small
PARTICLES, sufficient to make solid bar of
the value of 1000 dollars, which he pro-
cured in Cabarrns county also piece
weighing nearly 400 penny weight, SAID 70
bt the handsomest specimen ever found in
the state, as respects purity, brillianc, and
shape. This piece MIR. Barker intends Ia
| take with him To New York, that the in
credulous in that city may have oculat
proof that this precious metal is actual
~ found, in large masses, in North CAROL.
IA.
Mr. Barker informed us that the ass
mentioned piece was found in a snail creek
IN Cabarrus county, which eMpties inta
Rocky river and that the fist gold ever
discovered there was in the summer of 1909,
on the plantation of Mr.. Reed, who came
to this country during the revolutionary
war, and settled in this state immediately
after It's termination. Mr.. Reeds chhdLen
were IN the habit of fishing al night ny ',le
light of torches, in IA small creek nearshls
house and one night, while thus employ
ed. they discovered something shining very
bright at the bottom Of the creek, which
they took up and carried home, to then
father, who supposed it to be some metal
of but little value; bat was shortly after
Informed that ii was pure gold. This plea
sing Information induced him to seek for
more, and, shortly after, piece weighing
upwards of % lbs. was found the shape
of which was not unlike that of plough
share.
We understand that there has been at
least 100000 dollars worth of gold found
on this plantation the principal part "t
which has been sent to the Mint OF Phla-
delphia aud that company has lately
been formed by two gentlemen Of Cab1r-
rus and three of Virginia, who have pnr'
chased from Reed the exclusive privilege
OF hunting for gold ON his plantation for
seven years.
The manner Of finding il is by 81 Dwelling
the earth into large wooden trouths, ana
then pouring water in and washing H.
when the gold settles at the bottom.
We also learn, that considerable quan'i-
Ties have Lately been found in the ad uinas
counties Of Arson and Montgomery.

Weep not tho lonely and wild be thy path,

There is One who shield from the hurricane wraf

He is with thee, around thee He lists to thy cry.
And thy tears recorded hv Him.

Whose brightness no shadow can dim.

In safety twill lead TO the morrow;

Often quench'd in delusion and sorrow
For pure is the beam and uniadns the ray,
And the tempests assail il in vain,
When the mists Of this world are all vanished away
In its brightness it still will remain.
And weep not that none are around thee to love,
For Father is with thee to bless
And if grief have exalted thy spirit above,

i'm exquisite specimen Of Modern Bathos.
All whittier, Stranger, dost thou journey on,
With hurried step, and wild exploring eye;
Thy wither'd cheek so pale and woe begone;
Thy bosom struggling with the deep felt sigh!
IT'S piercing cold, and chilly blows the blast;
All tell me, Stranger, whittier wouldst thou
stray;
The sky with murky clouds is overcast,
Porendng, a0and'rer, an unwelcome day.
Say, Stranger, is Thy soul oppressed with care,
Is thy last, only drip Of comfort gone?

From the Connecticut Mirror.

The following simple and touching lines seem 4
come from the very heart OF the writer. There i
something in poetry which alleyiates what it canno
cure, and il il does not make man what he wou
be. will sometimes soohe the miseres that abid
by him as he is:
IT'S sad, when on the waters cast,
Unfriended and alone,
To mark the sinking of the blast,
And see the wind go down.
Tis ssdder to see friendship fly,
And love and hope depart,
Leaving the sufferer TO die
In widowhood oil heart
But sadler thoughts than these o'ertake me
Which thicken and increase
The Legislature did not make me
A Justice of the Peace.
