ron rue SPIRIT OF THE AoE

Temperance Camp Meeting.
We are deeply mortified that the proceed
ings of our Convention were not published.
They were ordered to be published in the
/" Shirt Of the Age" and the papers in Ashe-
willie and UendersOnville One Of our Secre-
taries, L. T.. Siler, Esq, prepared them for
the press and sent them on in due time TO
the Spirit Of the Age. After waiting a few
weeks for their appearance, he suspected a
miscarriage aud was preparing another copy
for one Of the other papers, when he was Ia
ken with typhoid fever, from which he is just
recovering.
The affair was one Of which, l assure you,
the friends Of Temperance need not be a.
shamed. The Tentholders were encamped
on the ground on Tuesday evening; the Con-
vention closed on Thursday night at eleven
o'clock. In the mean time we had large and
attentive audiences from Macon and the adj
Joining counties, and speaking from the stand
Mt suitable hours. The Convention was or
ranizcd on Wednesday ten o'clock, A.. Nj. /;

All things passed off in good order, and to
the satisfaction Of the friends Of the cause,

Of others. ! have written this much hastily,
from memory, three months after the time,
surprising that q more extended noticeat this
late day would not be interesting. Gun great
distance from any printing Office is a serious
embarrassment under which we labor here,
in such matters, and one we hope soon to
have remcdied. Yours III j.. j. d +.

that the proceedings of this meeting never
came to our hands. We looked for the &C

casioned us as much disappointment as thos'
who participated in the interesting proceed
ings. En-. ACE.

AGRICULTURAL MEETING. There was a
meeting of the Agricultural Society OF Wake
County, in the Town Hall on the I'D, Maj.
Hinton in the Chair.
DIR. Tompkins promised to deliver monthly
lectures before the Society, beginning with
January next. 1t was also resolyedta hold
an Agricultural Mass Meeting, on eheState
Fair Grounds, on the 9th of next moRth-to
fully invited, and the ladies especially
Mai. Nixon, closed some remarks on the
occasion by inviting the members of the
Society to visit his farm on the Sd Thursday
of June, 1854, and point out his defects in
farming, and partake of a farmers dinner
which invitation was unanimously accepted,
Vim. r. Pool Esq, stated, that he had a
lot of cotton seed, which he wished to pre-
sent to the Society, for distribution among
the members. He stated, that they were
sent to him by his Commission Merchant
in Petersburg, who stated, that a friend IN
the North had sent him a lot of cotton to have
ginned, and that he was struck with the fine
staple of the cotton, and he preserved the
seed. Mr.. Pool said, that this cotton had
never been grown on this continent, and that
from which the seed was taken grew on an
Island off the Mosquito Coast, and is said to
have grown on a tree, without cultivation
He hoped that the farmers would give it .
trial and report their experiments, at some
future time, to the Society.
The motion was then moved to adjourn
the Society to meet in the Farmers and Me-
chanics' Hall, on Friday, the 9thaf Decem-
Der, at IL o'clock, A. NJ, at which time mem
bers were requested to attend.

LIFE's TRoUBLEs.-The cares of this life
are short and leeting. To-day a cloud of
troubles may press upon US and so enfold the
struggling heart in gloom that the darkness
of the grave looks inviting to the weary one;
but on the morrow, sunlight cheers the gar
den of the soul with its beams, and the world
and heaven seems bright as the brightest hour
Of creatures morn when the stars sang to-
gether" the great Jubilate. A word may
trouble us for an hour-a hasty word from
one we love-but it fades away the next,
from the great page of the heart. The day
may be filled up with bitter disappointment
severe trials-conficts-poignant grief and
sorrow, but at night, when the humming of
busy life dies away like an echo beyond the
hill, we may lay our heads on the pillow and
sing a song of parting to the cares and trou-
bles of the day. They may have been our
companions through the days travels, but
we have distanced them forever. Thus, eve
ry day may have its burthen, but from the
past we take courage and put them to flight
by having the heart fortified against evil.
"The gloomiest day,
Live till o -morrow, will have passed away.
Child of dependency, cherish this truth
and write it on your heart. Struggle against
every trial that may beset your path-bear
up, and the morning sun will bring you smiles
and hope.

Hair DYE.

Do you admire the Ravens wing,
To suit your wish I'm just the thing,
But not to write a lengthy puff,
To give Black Hair Pm just the stuff.
Apply it when you go to bed,
Next morn you'll scarcely know your head,
And when with JOY you rise next morn,
You'll give your thanks to Moore & Vaughan.
We have on hand a large lot of Hair Dye which
we warrant to turn Gray or Red Hair to a fHe
Glossy Black. All of you who have Grey Hair or
E WHISPERS will please call and have them
Dyed, ut VAUGHAN & MO0RES.

a few hundred yards of the upper portion
of the town, and crossing the Neuse about a
mile below. 1t runs on the northern side of
the Trent, about two miles from Trenton.

Our Aim in Life.

"What art thou living for :" whispers
gently "still small voice" in miDe ear.
Silently. yet clearly, its low tones come
stealing over my spirit, as ! mingle in
the worlds busy strife c the giddy round
of pleasure "What art thou s,raining
for, mortal? The waves of the river
are foaming. thy bark is frail and bese'
with danger. Art thou buffeting the
pillows TO win one glittering line upon
the flattering page, or TO gather golden
stores Of wealth which bind the heart
more firmly to the earth' Is that all
thou seekest?" ! cast aside the volume
that had borne me through the hours OF
night, and with throbbing brow, and
a heart sick and weary, gave sad glance
TO the past, fearful one toward The flu
ture, and mournfully murmured, "What
are we living for!" Is it for fame! To
win the smiles Of an, admiring world, that
will bind chaplet Of praise for the
! heart, to chill and wither lis gorgeous
emo,ions7 Is it for that we toll!
| What are we living for? Is there
some bright star above US or some fair
| flower near, that cheers us on the rugged
pathways Flowers will bloom, aud the
fairest die. The golden chain Of affec-
tion may be severed by the damp cold
Of the valley" for earth hides her gems,
and the brightest are in the grave. The
name we cherish may soon meet our
gaze from the marble face Of the tomb
stone, and the sad gloom that nature
wears. whispers to our earth-sick souls
that the one we love has laid down to
sleep We cannot light again that half
closed eye, nor bring back the crimson
Of that cheek. Oh were all our hopes
bound in this one frall flower, and must
they now wither ard die? Is there no
brighter and firmer stay for the broken
| spirit! Live not for earth nor the bright
Jewels she may wear, for tears are the
only reward.
What are we living for!" PROFOUND
the question to your hearts, gentle
friends, and let it whisper 20 you wher-
ever you are--have we SO far glided
down life's stream unheeding what shore
we are nearing9 Oh. let us remember
life is not dream, but reality, over.
