The Bachelor and the Lace Veil.

Not many days since, gentleman, who
had lost a bet with a lady, and who had heard
her say that she had lost a lace veil which
she priced much, thought he would pay his
debt and do the polite thing by purchasing
a new veil Of fine quality, and pl esent it to
his fair CREDITOR
1t must be stated, for a proper understand
ing Of what followed, that the gentleman was
a bachelor Of long standing and a man of
little information touching the world of fancy
goods though a proficient III sugar, cotton,
and provision speculations
He accordingly stepped into fashionable
milliner's establishment, and asked to see
lace veii-of fine quality.
Here is one, Monsieur said the amiable
priestess at the head Of the temple.
How much is it
1t is only fftee, sair.'
What, only fifty! Dear me! I thought
these things were exceedingly dear. If that's
all they cost, L don't wonder at the ladies being
fond of wearing such fimsy knick-knacks. s.
Only fifty? Dear me Show me something
better
The priestess stared; the bachelor remain
ed perfectly cool Here was a customer A
man who wanted something better-dearer.
More yeils-lace ones-were displayed.
Dis is only sixtee, sair and dis one, Seven

Dear me? only seventy five! Well, that
is wonderful, to be sure. It's very pretty

You don't say so ! Well, Well. Who
would have thought it ! These women, these

for dolIar-in quarters
The milliner did SO.
'I'll take this one, said the simple minded
bachelor, folding up the seventy-fve veil
Give me quarter AMI keep the seventy.

Author found happy theme for the display
Of his eminent abilities-and faithfully and
nobly did he perform his task. The charac-
ter of the great American Statesman is tri-
umphantly defended and eloquently pourtray-
ed. Every friend ofthe lamented CLAY land
who is not) should procure copy and pre-
serve it for perusal by his children.
A friend has sent us a Catalogue Of the
Teachers, Pupils, &C., of Edgeworth Female
Seminary, Greensborough. The number of
pupils is large, and the institu tion quite pros
porous, so much so as to induce the prOprie-
tor, Governor Morehead, to make considera-
bic additions to the present buildings The
principal of the Seminary, Prof. Sterling, is
gentleman Of sne abilities, and very popular
as teacher.
CAROLINA FEMALE COLLEGE, ANsoN Co.,

Trustees, Faculty and Students of this insti-

interrupted good health therehaving occur
red nothing more serious than colds. which
have promptly yielded to the simplest treat
ment.

mendation of that excellent Southern paper,

The Original ESSAY,

We do not feel disposed to dwell at length,
this week, upon the utility Of an Essay, suit
ed to the wants, and calculated to arouse the
inquiries, Of the people of North Carolina, to
which we referred in our last; but simply to
urge the necessity of our having one of such
a character as will take right hold of the dear
est interests and most highly priced pros
poets Of our people. We do not want any
thing that will deal in generalities, and alb
struse argument, or cogent reasoning simply
the day for these things has past-all ad-
NIT, concur, agree as to the evil-but we
want Document that will descend to par
ticularities, sitting out, demonstrating making
clear as the monday sun the enormities of
the evil of the Liquor Traffic something that
will make our fellow-citizens realize that the
Destroyer is at each mans door, ready to i'm
molate his dearest household idols: that it
isdaily robbing him Of his honest, hard-earned
means; that it is degrading his sons, prosti-
tuting his daughters, disgracing the country
and committing sacrilegious havoc in the
Church. How can this be done? In no 9TH
er way than by presenting them with well au-
thenticated incidents of personalhistory and
when proper, let names and locations be given,
| attested by well-known, credible Witnesses
Let the records of our Courts be ransacked,
personal history be added, and the Church
books be examined-and let all the data thus
collected, be presented in the most striking
and forcible manner, so that we may be able
to see the evil exactly as it exists among u.s.
Then we may expect our people to bring the
matter to home consideration-and net till
| then.
It will take q vast amount of research, ex-
animation and correspondence, requiring a
considerableamounto Of time labor and money,
to get up such documcnt-and hence the
sooner we set about the work the earlier we
may hope to see it accomplished. Cannot
FIVE hundred dollars be raised to be paid for
the getting up such work-and five hun
dred more so as to have at least 10000 cop
les printed, to be circulated, free of cost
: throughout the entire State IF we are il
earnest about revolutionizing our State from
the thraldom of Alcohol, let us go to worl
with zeal commensurate with the impor
tance of the subject We all say we expec
to see this liberation of our State-but faith
: without works is dead! Who will show hi
faith by his works? We will give SO fo
these objects-how much will you give
: friendly reader? Speak cut!

State Convention.

We are frequently enquired of as to the
time when the State Temperance Convention
is to be held in this City during the present
year. At the Convention held last December,
the third Wednesday in October next was des-
ignated as the periodfor re-assembling. This
period is thought by many to be an unpro-
pitious one, coming as it does only a few days
before the assembling of the Grand Division,
and Delegates can hardly spare the time to
attend both; and it is therefore proposed to
change the period perhaps till the Spring Of
1854, when our plans can be all arranged for
that year and our mode of operations be thor
oughly perfected We presume the matter
will be governed by the developments of the
Summer and Autumn Should the necessity
arise, the Executive Committee, appointed at
the late State Convention, can designate the
time for the assembling this year.

Copper.

We understand that VIM. Albright, ESQ.,,
of Chatham County, has recently made sale
of his Copper mine. A few weeks ago, he
leased his lands to DIR. S. McClenahan and
others, for 20 years and the vein promising
fair the Company has made purchase of SO
acres around the mine, for Five Thousand dol
lars, the Proprietor reserving one tenth. The
ore now being taken out, a. depth of thirteen
feet, IS estimated to yield sc per cent.

n C. MEDICAL SocIETY.-This body met
