-'thou. the Shepherd child
Joan, the lowly dreamer Of The wild"
What is that see
A lonely fountain, fringed with moss and flowers,
A shadowy beechen tree
Through which the sunlight falls in mellow show
ers,
peasant-girl beside the clear, cool fountain sit
ting,
A crown Of purple hyacinths and shining laurels
knitting.
An ancient legend tells
How that old fount was peopled erst by Fairies;
That the spirit of their spells,
And howery rites yet on its margin tarries-
And that upon summer eve in the silent air still
fingers
The wild, sweet music of band of fairy singers.
Bot this bright mortal face.
With such spirit-eyes, and radiant forehead,
Such pure, majestic grace
Stamped on each limb, as sculptor should have
borlow'd
A model for his art A peasants daughter
Is she who leaneth oer this silyery singing water
How stately is her men--
How high the expression OF each noble feature,
Albeit she hath but seen
Tic spring-iime bloOm,-lhat strangely glorious
creature.
Yet on the firm, sweet lip, me thinks tinge OF
sadness
Faintly o'ershadoweth lis Otherwise calm glad
hess.
Childlike she bendelh there,
With skillful fingers her rich chaplet twining;-
Nor dreameth those blossoms are
Embens of Glory, Fame, and Grief combining.
Around that fountains brim, springs many fairer
flower,
Yet as by p1escionce hast thou chosen thy being
power!
Yes, on that girlsh head
Shall rest q crown, glittering crown of glory;
And after years shall wed
Thy lofty deeds to fame, in song and story;
The sculptor's art thy form 10 stGtue-lfe shall
waken:
Joan, is thy young heart by such wild dreams now
shakeni
Methnks | see thee now
Imaged as in the famed Cathedral standing
The gold helm on thy brow,
The leader of the warriors round thee banding!
Thy snowy banner DER the crowned monarch
streaming,
Thy inspired eyes with love and holy triumph
beaming
But even now doth fall
On Memory's dial-plate darker vision;
Prison, and judgement-hall-
5r, qa~.- he fierce dPciSiOn--
Swiftly before me pass! Joan Q did thy child
hood
Shadow such fate beside that fountain in the wild
wood!

ENCOURAGING.

The Rutherfordton Republican notices the pre-
sentation by the Fayetteville Observer of the name
of Mr.. Cherry as a candidate for Governor, and
says "this is all well enough" Mr.. Observer,
do you hear that? We hope you will keep on
presenting names, especially as your course in
this respect receives the sanction of the upcountry
Editor. But some account of the names ought
to be kept else the Convention might overlook
some of them. Let US see: Edward Stanly,
John H Bryan, George E. Badger, John Kerr,
Samuel F. Patterson, William w. Cherry, VIM.
A. Graham, William B. Shepard, Joseph" Col
lins (he Register invented tnat) Ebenezer Petit
grew, Alfred Dockery, Charles Manly, Kenneth
Rayner, Andrew Joyner, Frederick J. Hill, Rob-
ert B. Giliam Michael Francis, and last, as well
as least The Little BIoaoer By subtracting
nothing from the list seventeen will remain
Whether Mr.. Gillian would serve, if elected, we
do not know. Personally he is a most amiable
man. We have placed Mr.. Francis in the list
Perhaps we are wrong. At any rate, if he has
no idea of running himself he prefers Mr. Man
ly above all others. We are free to confess that
out of the list we can make no particular choice
We rather incline, however, to select one of the
three WiIIi0ms--because they are our name
sakes and because also, they are fine, cookbook
ing men. But the most encOwr0 gimg circumstance
is, that our candidate will beat either Of them at
least five thousand votes

n+ The Wings of Amherst formed Clay
CEuB at Pedlar Mills some weeks since. In the
published report of their preliminary Commltee
we find the following passage:
"The future happiness and prosperity OF tne
nation the union of the States. and the PrFserVa-
ton of our civil and religious institutions mainly
depend upon the success of the Whlg cause
The preservation of our religious institutions,
we are told, depends upon the election Of Mr. Clay
He is to be placed at the head of the CHURCH,
as Welt as of the State, is he2 Is not Mr.. Clay a
gamblers So say those who have been on terms oi
intimacy with him. Is he not protane swearerF
To man who knows him at all will deny this
He, not long since, walked up to MIR. Speaker
Polk IN the House of Representatives: and SAID 10
him. " Go home God damn you-where you De-
long" On another occasion, he is SAID 10 nave
publicly called the Democrats ga set OF Damned
scampsh-and we have heard persons OF both po-
lnical parties speak of his habitual profanity
These habits, to say nothing of others OF which ne
has been accused, give him an irresistible claim
TO the confidence and support of the religious por'
ton of the community, do they not, Messrs Wings
of Amherst2
We dislike to refer in this manner to Mr. Gays
private character; but when an attempt is made tc
palm him off on the religious public as the main
hope ofthe Church as we'll as of the State, thai
public should be apprized of the manner in which
the religion -four blessed Redecmer is exempll
fled in his life and conduct.

MIR. HAYwooD says, "the people Of North Caro-
lima might have got part of the loaf their politi-
clans promised; but rather than let it come, they
themselves increased the taxes beyond twenty per
cent by act of Congress 1912, thereby committing
upon their Whig voters double robbery. FIRST,
in taking back their share of the land money
Second in doubling their taxes" And be 1t also
remembered, that the gift of this tremendous body
of land to the States, absolute and uncom-
d;tiOnaL; for neither in the act of l84l, making
the distribution, and then again providing for It's
suspension, nor in that of 1912, which withholds
the ten per cent from the new States aforesaid as
long as the first act is suspended as there one aoOrd
said about taking back this grant Of 500 900 acres
to each of The me1o States.
We call upon the people of North Carolina to
mark-to "inwardy digest"-to ponder upon and
remember these things We call upon the honest
portion ofthe Whig party to say fthey have not
been deceived grossly and VIGOROUSLY deceived
by the Whig leaders? For the present, we
leave this matter with the people. Let them judge
ofit. When occasion offers, we shall take it up
oOoin

THE TWO CREEDS.

Here are the two creedS-the first of the Whig
and the other ofthe Democratic party, copied from
the Richmond Enquirer They are so plain that
"he who runs may read" Let them be laid aside
for future reference. The contest is now, as it
was forty years ago: between the disciples of HAM
1LToN on the one side, and those of JEFFERSON
on the other. The present wings advocate the
doctrines of the former ard the democrats support
the doctrines of the latter:

IL We are opposed to National Banlr-to
the olG-fashioned National Bank, which theWhigs
want to re-establish-because that Bank interfer-
ed with the liberties of the people; because it
tampered with the freedom of the press; because
it nterfared with the purity of elections; and be-
cause also, among thousand other objections, 1t
repeatedly dishOnored its o~n paper. In 1888,
the public depostes were directed to be diverted
from the vaults of the National Bank and pac-
ed in those of certain State institutions This or
der came from the Secretary of the Treasury
and Mr.. Clay admitted, on that occasion, the right
of the Secretary to issue the order. Why then,
this everlasting clamor about the removal of the
deposites2 1t saved the nation; it broke down
the monster; it delivered the people from Bank
thraldom and, if we true to ourselves, we
shall still escape Bank influence and Bank
power.

Does Badger know Great Western sis let out ~
Aweek or two since we wrote and published
an article aimed at Wing principles and Whig
measures. The Register replied to that article
by personal abuse of the ranlest and grossest char
acter. Among other things, he said we had
been bought up, and talked about cane having
been applied to our shoulders. We retorted, we
are free to confess, in no gentle terms-we at
tackled him. and through him we struck at George
E. Badger. We struck at Badger because, among
other sins, he is guilty of using the Editor of the
Register as medium of abuse and defamation.
The arrows went to the right place. They
stuck there, and still quivering in the flesh.
But we declare, Notwithstanding the severe and
unmerted abuse we have received-that we
bear neither George E. Badger nor the Editor of
the Register any personal i'll will. We make
this statement lest motives may be miscon-
strued, or our feelings misrepresented. Further
we cannot 60 We have but opened the war
on them, and that war shall be carried on until
they learn to treat democrats with respect, and
cease to speak contemptuously of the great prn-
ciples of our party In the course of this warfare
we intend also to hold them and others, who act
with them, and under them, responsible for all
the misdeeds-the deep and damnipg sins-of the
Wing party in North Carolina.

October Convention in this City, in 1910, the coons

on that day, made holy by the Lord to all lnen,
caroused and drank hard-cider. and disturbed the
public worship of the people.
Let it never be forgotten, that in certain sec

~ The Editor of the Fayetteville Observer
is simple enough TO make great noise in his last
paper over typographical mistake or omission
Hecan find nothing to object to, it seems, but mis-
takes in the printer. We thank him for it. It
affords US strong proof that he is coming to that
he is getting back to the ranks he strayed from

DOMESTIC MANUFACTURES.

mon axcs-the broad-axe-and the axe used by
drawers of turpentine, and we are informed that
they are equal, in every respect to those made at
The North. The cnterprising proprietor also
makes drawing-knives of the most approved kind
and uses almost, if not entirely, the North Caro-
lima iron.
Mr.. Burns deserves great credit for his in
dustry and enterprise. He is not only of great
benefit to the community, but~he honors it by his
presence and indefatigable spirit; and we hope
bis labors and exertions will not go unrcwarded.
