When long winter nights, at the home Of his birth

And speak orhis death and his glory
And fancy will picture the place where he sleeps,
Beside him the blue winding river,
The Long, slopng flats where the chapparcl sweeps,
And Summer brcathes softly forever.

The ties that so icnderly bound him;

A DIME Savings Bank, after the manner of
those in existence in the north, has recently,
been organized in Baltimore The officers of
the institution act without compensation, and
thus devote themselves and the influence they
can exert in the promotion OF the cause, solely
for the benefit OF depositors. The Baltimore
Sun, in an article upon this subject, says:
"Thc efficiency of this institution, its success,
indeed, will be the moral reflex Of the humber
members of socicy.-Wc cannot doubt that
such an institution will induce many to COM
mcnce regular habit of Swing The conre-
nience of deposiing so small an amount as a
dime, or quarter, of half dollar ut 4 time, will
certainly quicken the desire to do so. And as
mulitudes are very inconsiderate with the res
pect to the cumulative value of small sums.
The dime savings bank will, through the expert
enre of its 'depositors, gradually diffuse the
knowledge of practical facts upon this subject
in the community. Let The disposition prevail
to have "money in the bank" fit be only
dime, and other dimes will follow; uf1il from
so small beginning we may have mutitudes
of small capitalists, where we have now prod-
eality, improvdcucc, and frequent dcsttution."

EVERYDAY LIFE.-From morning till nights

honor! And on they 60, as their fathers went
before them till, weary and sick at heart, they

BEAUTIFUL EYrRAcr-When The summer
day Of youth is slowly wasting away into the
nightfaiI of age, and the shadows Of past years
grow deeper and deeper, as life wears to its close
is pleasant to look back, through the vista of
time upon the sorrows and iclicili,s of our earlier
years If we have home to shelter, and hearts
to rejoice with us, and friends have been gather
cd together around our lrcsides, then The rough
place of our wayfaring will have been worn and
smoothcd away, in the twilight Of life, while the
sunny spots we have passed through, will grow
brighter and more beautiful. Happy indeed are

or in round numbers $6,OOO:OOO. Before the
meeting of the Legislature, Il similar statement
was made to the Governor, and embodied by
him in the Executive Message
We feel every confidence that after the pcrual
of this statement, every intelligent and candid
person throughout the State will fully exonerate
the Directors Of the Road from The ignorance
and inconsistency that has been imputed TO them !;
and clearly perceive that, with the complete dis
appearance of the supposed facts Of the" Spar
tan," the entire argument founded upon them
falls Of itself TO the ground.
If it is said that the additional aid asked by
the Company must be refused, because Of the
alarming ignor nee and inexpcricnce evineed in
estimating the cost of the Road at 5l,75OO00
one day,and S6,O00OQO the next, every sentiment
of candor and justice would require us freely to
concede The required assistance, when it is shown
that, so far from committing this egregous
bundcr, there has been throughout, \ perfect
harmony and consistency in the estimates Of
the Company
1t is further alleged, however, by the Spartan,
on the ground, that portion of the Road had

very strangely met this difficulty by the reply.
that Mr. Latrobe, the distinguished Engineer of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, had confirmed
the estimates for tue parts that had been surrey
ed. This would be very strange indeed, if it
was true, but, unfortunately for the Spartan it
is not Two objections were made TO the esti-
mates President Gourdn stated in his" Com
munication to the Committee oil Agriculture
and Internal improvements of the Senate" that
no instrumental survey had yet beon made
through North Carolina; that it was not essen
tial. for the route was through Tho valley OF inc
Little Tennessee, level country" &c. That
" several reconnoissanccs had been made, and
the maximum cost, Including iron, was with
great confidence, set down at 8 l,6SS,OOO." The
absence of this survey was made ground OF
objection, and tho Company met it BY putting an

able corps of Engineers in the field Ender Col.
Griffin, the result of whose labors will, in due
time, be given 10 the Legislature with approPr-
ate maps and profes. The other objection
was raised by those who considered it the part
of prudence to hare The labors of the Conpany's
Engineers confirmed by IN Engineer from abroad
of high reputation. The Board yielded to this
suggestion, at tile instance Of Col. Lythgoc
himself, and the result was the able, lucid and
altogether mastery report of that distinguished
Engineer, NJ. Lalrobe, in which the support Of
his high authority is given in 4 manner almost
unqualified, 10 all the plans and estimates Of
that indeIaligable and Jealous officer, Col. Lyth-
goe And We cannot doubt, if the Spartan will
read aitenti,ely this clear and able document, it
will 90 far 10 remove every sincere doubt Of
the ability and prudence that preside over the
destiny Of this noble enterprise.

to locate the publishing house. After 4 thor.

posed, the Board selected lot on the public
