tons Of coincidence and sympathy for their afflicted
brother, we're passed b. the Division, and expressive
Of the hope thathis loss IS her eternal gain.
We record with heartfelt sorrow, the death of our
beloved Brother, Willis A. Harrell. of Parker's Divis-
ion, No. l05, in Gates county. He was well known
and highly appreciated as a Son of Temperance and
a worthy citizen. Bro. II. was cut of in the opening
morn OF manhood, leaving diseonsolate afectionsts
parents and relatives. But though they grieYe for
the loss Of this loved one. their sorrow is not with
out the cheering hope and cOnsoliDg anticipation of
meeting him again, clothed in the h~abiliments Of
Immortality, aud in company with the spirits of Just
men made perfect, in the kindgom of Gods glory.
The Division to which he Was attached paid the
highest tribute to his memory, by the passage of
Resolutions t~estifying their appreciation of his
purity and excellence Of character, of sympathy with
his afflicted family and ordering the badge of mour.
ming to be worn in token Of their sorrow for his loss.

THE METALS.

The new born earth hung in its orb and
the Creative Fiat spake the Metals into form
to enrich its bosom. And they were hid in
the earth-in hard Golfers of solid rock sum-
deep beneath the everlasting hills. First,
lie spake, and the rich Gold rolled forth in
bars and glittering sand, flashing with beau
ty like the morning sun. And all the Angels
of Heaven expanded their wings, and on their
new harps sang forth" We sing Thy praise
o. Lord, forever - Next, the clear, ringing
Silver-whitc and pure as the bright sea,
where God had hidden the waters flow, fresh
as the dew, rolled forth and sought its hid
den bed in the mountains side. And all the
Angels of Heaven struck a sweet strain and
sang" We praise Thee forever, o! Lord!"
Then the Copper, at the Great Command,
sprang to light, red as the molten fire of the
burning mount, and the Angels Of Heaven,
for the most part, shouted aloud :-"Thy
praise endureth forever and ever, Mighty
Lord the new Heavens and the new Earth
arc filled with Thy Majesty and Dominion !"
But the Angel Of Temperance folded her
wings in sorrow, and a single tear hung, like
n dew-drop, clear and bright in her eye
And lie spake and said -" Let us now make
tho Iron hard and grey as the rocks of mid
die earth, and the Lead dim as the shades of
s%tarloss night" And the Angels about the
Throne folded their wings with one accord,
laid down their harps and were silent as the
- - .I-Tz- Al IL A. III
Peace, with tears on her cheeks of purity.
wept and said -" Father and Master, let
them rest-let them restl For tho Thou
hidest them in dark places, deep as middle
earth, yet will man seek them from their sto
ny Golfers, and with blood and carnage slay
his brother and l hal be driven from thu
new and beautiful Earth ~ But another
mighty Angel said -" In thy Wisdom make
them, Lord Of Heaven and Earth and Mar
shall, ere the end, grow fat and weary o
blood and carnage and shall weave the Iror
into bars and cords, shall bind it in bars up
on the earth, and weave it in cords thro' tat
dir, linking nation with nation in its tripl
strength, and lettering them into a gre2
and mighty people. And the Lead he shall
when tired of blood, shape into millions 0
busy tongues, that tribe may speak with tribe
and nation with nation and shall, with it
silent whispers, speak louder than the can
mons voice, teaching the earth's sons Tn,
wisdom, Thy Glory and tho bounty of Tn,
Power !"
And the Angels Of Heaven expanded thci
wings again and through their harps Of SON
shouted with heavenly vigor -" Make AL
in Thy wisdom, Eternal Lord! that peace
and knowledge, and good will among mer
may abound, and the Majesty of Thy Tri
unc Power be sung from the sea and the riv
ers to the ends Of the Earth. :" X

Mr.. EDIToR: In q few days, the Assem-
bly, now in session, will be respectfully asked
to submit q very important question to the
voters Of North Carolina for their decision,
viz: whether they desire the present license
system to continue or not. WilI they DO it ?
is a question frequently asked by those inter-
ested. | am aware that the prevailing opin-
ion is, that they will not. But why not?-I
What good reason can be given why it should
not be submitted viii there not be u large
and respectable number Of signatures to the
memorial? is it not q republican mode of de-
Gliding questions? Are not the people, whose
representatives they are, capable Of deciding
the question oroYori-
Iadnit that the Legislature should oppose it
by all means. But who Of that body dare
assert this as his objection to the request
and yet If we are refused, Is 1t not virtually
asserting that the people are not capable OF
deciding it for themselves [ cannot view It
in any other light for If I understand the
nature Of the memorial, they are not asked
to assume q particle Of responsibility, they
are not asked even 50 much as to recommend
it to the favorable consideration Of the peo-
pie. We do not ask them, either as a body
or as individuals, to vote for it at the ballot
box but we do ask, and while we ask it re-
speotfully, we ask it seriously, that those Of
US who see proper, may have an opportunity
Of entering our protest, against the low, de-
} grading, ruinous license system, now tolera-
: ted by the laws Of the State.
But suppose, Mr.. Editor, that the memoir
al did ask them to PISS some law for the sup
preston Of this vice, are there not a sufia-
= lent number Of patriotic men in the Legisla-
ture of North Carolina really to 10 right.
