Motto on the Bridal Ring "A young gen
tleman of fine intellect and noble heart, was
suddently snatched by the hand of death from
all the endearments oflife. Surrounded by eve
rything that could make existence pleasant and
happy-a wife that idolized him children that
loved him as they only can love, and friends
devoted to him; the summons came, and he
lay upon the bed of death. But few short
years ago, she to whom he was welded, placed
bridal ring upon his finger, upon the inside
Of which he had few words privately engrav-
ed. The husband would never permit the
giyer to read them, telling her the day would
come when her wish should be gratified, and
she should know the secret. Seven years
glided away, and day or two since, when con-
sclous that he must soon leave his wife fof-
ever, he called her to his bedside, and with
dying accents told her that the honr had at
last come, when she should see the words
upon the ring she had given him. The young
mother took it from his cold finger, and through
heart-strjcken with grief, eagerly read the
words 81 have loved thee on earth-I will
meet thee in Heaven"

THE ARCHITECT.
Ply HEYnY w IANEEEIIn

Ell HENRY w. L0NGFELLOw.
All are Architects of Fate,
Working in the walls of Time
Some with massive deeds and great,
Some with ornaments of rhyme
Nothing useless is or low
Each thing in its place is best
And what seems but idle show,
Strengthens and supports the rest.
For the structure that we raise,
Time IS with material filled;
Our to-days and yesterdays
Are the blocks with which we build.
Truly shape and fashion these
Leave no yawning gaps between;
Think not, because no man sees,
Such things will remain unseen.
In the Older days of Art,
Builders wrought with greatest care,
Each minute and unseen part
For the gods see everywhere.
Let US do our Work as WGll,
Both the unseen and the seen;
Make the house where gods may dwell,
Beautiful, entire and clean.
Else our lives arc incomplete.
Standing i'll these walls Of Time,
Broken stair-ways, where the feet
Stumble as they seem to climb.
Build to-day, then, strong and sure,
With firm and ample base;
And ascending all secure,
Shell Tomorrow find its place.
Thus alone can we attain
TO those turrets, where the eye
Sees the world as one vast plain
And one boundless reach of sky.

When capped and dulled her cheaper tools,
Then she saint and prophet spends.

Gold Hill line.-In the county of Rowan,

was discovered about sever years ago by
Archibald Honneycutt, Esq, and has since
been the field of extensive and profitable OPP
perations. There are now three steam-en

less than thirty thousand dollars. The first
is Of forty, the second thirty, and the third ff-
teen horse power, owned, taking them in the
order in which they occur, by Holmes, Earn
hardt & Co. Helig, Barnbardt & Co.; Coffin,

ore per day, consumes 60 cords of wood per
month, and has a seven inch force pump con-
nected with it which raises water from shaft
26O it. in depth. This water supplies the
boilers and mills, and meets the wants Of
those who live contiguous. The second
grinds SO bushels of ole per day, consumes go
cords of wood per month, and has a pump
which raises water 300 feet, The third grinds
1875 bushels of ore per day, consumes so cords
of wood per month, and has a small pump by
which the water, after passing through the
mills and tubs, is forced back TO the reservoir
from which ii started. The three companies
have 100 laborers in their employ. whose
wages range from IS to $40 per month. Ex-
perenced English miners who work under
ground receive $40; slaves who attend them,
SI3 boys and others prices proportioned TO
their labor. The wood consumed is deliver.
