"LocAT1oN OF THE DEPOT" The Raleigh Star
has paragraph upon the location of the Depot on the
Central Rail Road at Raleigh, in which it is taken
for granted as fixed fact that the Central and Raleigh
and CASTOR Road are to be connected We would
like to ask the Star, where the power to connect the
two roads is found. We thought that the Southern
route for the Central Road selected for the
press that the two roads should not be united.
If there is any clause in either Charter which will
authorize connection between the roads, let it be
done, although should then deny its expediency
but we have been unable to find the authory for any
such junction. Colds. Rep. S Pat

One parting wreath of melody.

From one who feels tits sad to part.
And if it be that strains of mine
Have glided from my heart to thine,
My voice was but the breeze that swept
The spirit cords that in thee slept
The music was not all my own
Thou gavest back the answering tone.
Farewell-when parted from thy shore,
Long absent scenes return once more;
Whereer the wanderers home may be,
STILL still will memory turn to thee
Bright Freedoms clime-I feel thy spell,
But must say farewell-farewell!

SELF RELIANCE.

The following article will be read with interest.

If our young mscarry to their first enterprise,
thew lose all heart If the young merchant falls men
saw he is ruined If the finest genius studies at one
of our colleges and is not installed in office in one
wear afterward in the city suburbs of Boston or
New ork it seems to his friends and to hmselfthat
he is right in being disheartened and in complaining
the rest of his life. A sturdy lad from New Hamp-
shire or Vermont, who in turn tries all the professions,
who teams ii, farms ii, pebbles, keeps school, preach
es, edits newspaper. goes to Congress, buys town.
Ship and forth, in successive years, and always,
like cat falls on his feet, is worth hundred of
these city dolls. He walks abreast with his days,
and feels shame in not studying profession, for
he does not postpone his life, but lives already. He
has not one chance, but hundred chances. Let a
stole arise who shall reveal the of man, and
tell they leaning willows. but can and must
deach themselves; that with the exercise of self
trust, powers shall appear that the man is the
word made esh born shed healing to the nations,
that he should be ashamed of our compassion, and
that the moment he for himself, tossing the
laws, the books, dolatries, and out of the
window-we pity him more but thank and revere
him-and that teacher shall restore the life of to
spendor, and make his name dear to all history.
1t is easy to see that greater self reliance-a new
respect for the divinity in mar-must work a resolu-
tan in all the Offices and relations of men; in their
religion in their education in their associations in
their property in their speculative views.
