ADVICEr0AYOUNG MARRIED
COUPLE.
BY J. HUNT, JR.

First, each to each, at all times, faithful prove
And hoard with care, thesacred bind nf good
IT'S this which makes the joys of youthful love
And married life more truly understood.
Ne'er let word Of discOrd with you rise,
To mar the feelings and destroy your rest;
But. as perfect mirror, Let your eyes
Reject pure motives in each others s. breast.
Then, wien the dark and gloomy night OF age
Shall cast shade around the scene s of life,
Brgh' will be viewed on holy memory's pnee
The vow that made one husband, ,onc a wife

looked forth, and joys wild impulse
Thrilled my bosom with delight;
All along thewasi es Of ether,
Gfmmering in The sea of blue,
Where'er vision shot its glinces,
Rose the starry worldst to view.
Mystery's page | stood perusiug,
y With emotions none mny tell,
When from out It's spnerc, an orbit
Blazed and sparkled as ii fell.
Onward, rushing to destruction,
Through the mighty void it sped,
Leaving in its wake the footprints
OF the fell destroyer's tread.
Selntillations Of efi'u,gence
From its sister planets poured
Their benign beams on its passage,
AS il leaped its fate toward.
Distances immense it measured,
Since itleft its throne sublime;
Ay It's fled, but left behind it
A menento Of its prime.
When astronomers and sages
Heavenward peer with scanning gaze,
They behold star extinguisheh,
That shall never more reblaze;
But its 7estges o. grandeur
Tell the glory once 1t svayed,
When it whirled upon its axis
In magnificent parade.
Thus may we, though poor and lowly,
Leave name VIII passed away;
When LIES. sceptre we have yielded
To morlallty's decay.
Not a title of distinctions,
Honored for high-soaring fame.
But name 80 chaste and lofty,
None may tarhish it with shame.

The Wilmington Market.

During the past week we heard some talk
among our farmers with reference to sending
their produce to Wilmington several having
called in our office to ascertain the price Of
Flour. Groceries, &c. in that market. As far
as we have been able to ascertain she senti-
ments Of our people, il is the general wish to
trade in Wilmington, if in the advantages Of
fered there is any thing like an equality with
other markets. It is useless for our Whining
ton friends, and others, to complain that our
produce has been, and is now, going to Virgil
MIA. This has been unavoidable heretofore, and
can only be prevented, in the future, by proper
enterprise on the part of the Wilmington mer-
chants. The Wilmington Herald Of the ed
inst, has sensible article on the subject, from
which we make the following extract:
While we are calmly resting on our
oars, witing for the business to come
to us, making no exertion, whatever.
to obtain il, the agents Of Norfolk and
Portsmouth are traversing the country,
in all directions, urging the superior
advantages Of those places for the trans
action Of the trade, scattering cards,
circulars, &c. &c. What is the conse-
quences Every particle Of produce that
freights the cars Of the N. e. Road goes
directly to those towns-none comes
here. And yet we are told the people
Of the up country are DESTROYS Of trad
ing with us, but they are deferred by
the lukewarnness we exhibit. Now is
the time to act, before the current Of
trade which sweeps towards Virginia.
becomes us il were a settled channel,
impossible 10 be diverted"
This we call "harping on the right string.
and il the Herald's suggestion is needed. vii.
mington will be benefited. A merchant from
Wilmington 1.-THE first, we believe, who has vi
siied this section.) was here last week, and, Il
we are correctly informed. several loads Of Flour
have since been carried 10 Durhams Station u
be sent 10 Wilmington.
Our people viii not /" leap in the dark" n
matters Of this kind, As prudent men, they will
inform themselves in regard 70 the prices. &c.
and then ACT. In this connection We viii state
groiuitOusly, fact mentioned for the benef
Of our farmers in an advertisement for the vii
mington and Weldon Rail Road. II Is thk

The Farmers Bank.-The Beau.


fort Halcyon o. the 10th inst, has an article in
relation 70 the excitement caused BY the action
q the Legislature concerning the Farmers
Bank Of Elizabeth City, in which il expresses
the opinion that the panic is unnecessary. The
Hacyon adds:
I'VE say to our friends who hold any Of tho
Bills Of the Bank, do MOI sacrifice them, they
are perfectly good, and will every one be re-
deemed, dollar ior dollar. We are personally
acquainted with every officer Of the Bank, and
We know that no loss can possibly be sustained
by bill holders"
ave sincerely trust that none Of our readers
o. friends win permit themselves 70 be shaved"
], q stated by the HaIcyon. ina, the New.
bern and Washington Banks have refused tho
bills Of the Farmers Bank az their counters,
which has added 10 the panic; but We believe
this is no unusual thing among Banks, even
when there Is no doub, Of the solyeney Of Tho
institution whose notes arc thus refused.
As We understand i. the action Of the Legs.
laiure was no, intended 70 annuI the charter Of
the Farmers Bank, bat simply % punish those
officers and Others who were engaged in issuing
certificates Of deposits 20 circulate as bills Of
money q less denomination Than Eve dollars.
The coursc pursued BY The Legislature was
well advised and very proper, according 10 our
Judgment The solyeney Of the Bank /. no,
affected BY il, and we presume there Is no risk
in taking is notes.
