Snobs.

a snob is a persOn-man or wCman-who
is always pretending to be something better,
especially richer or more experimentation
he or she really is. The private opinion of
such an one is, that they are really contemp-
tible, and that they must, of necessity, force
themselves into a position above that which
they are really entitled to, not having the
wits or characteristics belonging to it. A
Snob is one who looks down upon, despises
or tramples upon his interiors, or his equals,
and is ever ready to fall down and worship a
rich or titled man, not because he is a good
man, a aVise man, or a christian man, but be-
cause he is a rich man. Thackery would
call all such, Sno6s ofhe first soater. ave
can apply the Snob test (says he to him, and
try whether he is conceited and a quack,
whether sandlackinghumility wheth-
er uncharitable and proud of his own narrow
soul. How does he treat a great man-hoW
regard a small onel How does he comport
himself in the presence of his grace, the
Duke, or the Lord Bishop of Bu~llocksmithy
and how in that of Smith the tradesman, OF
Robson, the poor curate?"
We, now and then, meet with one of the
contemplate class, and we heartily despise
| them. Poor wrinkled nosed, Goldfish aristoc-

General Cary,

We are in receipt Of a letter from Gen.
CARY, by which we are sorry to learn thathe
will not be able to be with us at the session
Of the Grand Division. Indeed it is a mat
ter of some doubt whether he can come at
all, or if he does, not earlier than the 10th
of November, probably. We shall hear
definitely from him in a few days, and then
we shall publish his appointments, if he is
to come. His first route will be through
Orange, Alamanee, Guilford, Forsythe, Row
an, Cabarrus and Mecklenburg counties, SO
that he may attend the Grand Division o.
South Carolina, at Columbia on the 25th No
yemher. About the 1st of December he will
go to the counties west of Charlotte. Places
desiring his services had better advise us of
the fact Immediately, so that they may be
entered on his list of appointments, as they
viii not be changed, when once made. This
is the only way to prevent disappointments.
The Ladies will be pleased to learn that his
accomplished Wife is to accompany him.

ONCE.


] saw a youth just stepping upon the
battlefield of life. Ills dark eyes flashed
brilliantly as he read the inscription "On-
ward and upward" upon the doorway of
the distant temple of fame. His young
heart throbbed wildly, for hope had woven
many enchanting wisconsin his day-dreams.
He had sounded the depths Of the unknown
future, and had brought up gems of rich
est worth from its pebblcd bed and loaded
the casket of imagination herewith. He
had already extended his hand in fancy
and cuiled the rare flowers that clustered
so temptingly on the margin of his future
earthpath. Oh how he exultedin the full
ness Of the anticipated future But in an
evil hour, when weary and exhausted in
the strife Of life, the insidious tempter al
lured him from the standard Of right and
he fell. Only once he INDUCED and he
fell
"Once,'' exclaimed the student, as he
trimmed his midnight lamp. "Once |
will leave this dull room and breathe the
free fresh air Of heaven, and sap but once
at the gurgling wine glass. 1t will Danish
this wearinesss and I shall seek deeper
with my brighter imagination for these
hidden truths" Once he drank, and in
that single draught was embodied the flu
ture, hopeless and ruined
"Let me but relax my over-taxed mind
in this one revel," said the laurel crowned
Conqueror, " and l shall be invigorated
for the morrow's final victory" But
while he dissipated the midnight hour
with his reckless soldiers, the enemy STRUCK
the death blow in his camp, and the sta
Of the Conqueror's pride was eclipsed il
the zenith Of its glory.
How much of joy or anguish may b.
couched in that little word Once. Lon!
years may be loaded with fearful miser,
and anguish by one single error. An ap
petite INDUCED once may break up tn
barriers of virtue against vice. The pag
of ones life may be defaced by degrade
ton and crimes Of deepest dye, the consC
quence of once yielding to the tempter.-
Let us not hearken to this siren voice as
echoes in our own hearts. Let us hush il
whisporings if evil is presented to us, an
still its tones if1t lead others astray. Us
us remember that man should be man
ministering Angel and the germ of trut
and virtue should be taught to spring U
to perfection in the human heart, and wit
a prudent hand and searching eye traine
and protected from the Evil one.
