with flowers that never fade.
Stricken Mother shed not such bitter
tears-breathe not her name in such mourn
full tones. Remember, you have another
jewel in your crown-the Mother of an
Angel and that Mothers name was the
last word which hung on her dying breath.

has been removed from the evils to Gene,
and her spirit now dwells in the abods Of
light and love. There her countenanee is
lighted up with heavenly radiance ahd
smile of ineffable sweetness plays upor' her
features while strains of enhancing mel
ody ever gush forth from her lips revsrber-
ating through that vast expansive mlnsion
prepared for the good and faithful. Dry
your tears, bereaved ones mourn net for
the blest early dead but be resigned to
the wisely unrevealed dispensation ofProv-
idence, and of him who hath said "Suffer
little children to come unto me and forbid
them not, for Of such is the kingdom of
Heaven" Let loving hands plant sweet
flowers around her grave; there, when
early Spring returns, let the fragrant white
violet hang its dropping petals with tear
drop on its snow-white lids, and the dew
dropping willow, like fond weeping mourn
ers, bend Ger the grave, Maggie loved
flowers. She loved all that was good and
beautiful but she is gone
Gone from the hearts that loved thee;
Gone from thy home away
Gone in thy childish beauty,
Like flowers in May.
Gone like the moonlight's glimmer
From off the ripping stream;
Gone like the joyous pictures
Of childhood's glowing dream.

Memories Inscribed to Maggie.

She is not dead, but sleepeth."
We miss thee from thy home, Maggie,
We miss thee from thy place;

The sunshine of thy face.
A light is from our household gone,
A voice we loved is still,
A place is vacant at the hearth,
That never can be filled.
While musing sad and lone in the dim
twilight, other days come back to me like
recollected music. Sweet memories of the
past-departed loved ones fit around me
and hold sweet communion. Remembrance
with her busy train, sits heavy at my heart
IT'S strange how much is marked on Mem

Good AdUice to apprentices. When serv-
ing your apprenticeship, you will have time
and opportunity to stock your mind with use
full information. The only way for young
man TO yrepare himselffor usefulness, is to de-
vote himselfto study during his leisure hours.
First, be industrious in your business fru-
gal, be enconomical-ne complain that
you are obliged to work 90 to it with alacri-
ty and dcheerfulness, and it will become a hab
it which will make you respected and beloved
by your master or employer; make it your
business to see to and promote his interest !;
by taking care Of his, you will learn to take
care of your own. Young men at the present
day are too fond of getting rid of work.
They seek for easy and lazy employments,
and frequently turn out poor miserable vaga-
bonds. You must avoid all wishes to live
without labor labor is blessing instead of a
curse; it makes you food, clothing, and every
other thing necessary, and frees you from
temptation to be dishonest.

North Carolina Coal. The coal ques-
ton in North Carolina is beginning to ex-
cite interest. One of the companies on
Deep River have expended $4,000 in
opening their mine, and are now raising
one ton of coal per minute. At another
mine 500 tons can be loaded daily. Two
bushels of North Carolina coal are said to
be equal to three of Virginia.

Mr.. EDITOR The following crude
stanzas were prompted by an incidental
remark from one of the first and best loved
of my early comrades, who on the occasion
of a recent visit, asked me if had forgot
ten The Castles we used to build in the
Air 2"
Perhaps no two human hearts were ever
more indisolutely united by the ties of
guileless affection, of heartfelt friendship,
than were Ms and my own. Indeed, so
fervent was our seeming devotion, 50 in
separabe our companionship, that they
passed into proverbs by our associates ];
and for many bright and joyous months
scarce day elapsed but arm linked in arm
we wended our way to tho old " School
House by the road side'-scarce night
but our young heads slumbered upon the
same pillow. And often, when released
, from the restraints of the school room, we
! would ramble away to some quiet haunt
and there suffer Imagination with unfet

S ION bright and glowing picture of un
r clouded happiness-and Revery, that idea

A Common Mistake Of Farmers. A
farmer in Ohio, last fall, put uphis wheat
crop for high price. In February he
was offered 10000 In April he offered
to take 81 90. In June he will probably
sell for $4,000. There is lesson in this
for other farmers.

Romantic Marriages.

That truth IS stranger than fiction" we
have another confirmation in the following
singular facts related by the Springfield
(Mass) Argus:
Of the romantic marriages which are con-
stantly happening in the gay capital of France,
the Paris correspondent Of the Bo ston Post,
gives this extraordinary specimen:
Madame la coun tess X***, a very rich wild
ow living in an aristocratic faubourg, went
daily into populous quartiere Of the city for
the purpose Of distributing aims. In order
not to attract attention and to prevent curl
osity she was in the habit of leaving her splen-
did equipage and proceeding modestly in the
omnibus. 1t was thus that upon one occasion
she addressed herself to conductor of one of
| the vehicles who had attracted her notice by
! his pOliteness and attention towards his pas
sengers. She desired him to reserve for her
at certain hour every day place in the car
riage on the step Of which he pursued his avo-
cation. During many months the place was
scru pulously preserved to the great content
ment of the lady. And to testify her salts
faction to the young conductor, who, physi
cally, was remarkably prepossessing, she one
day abruptly observed to him, f" might easi-
ly pass for your mother, for am beyond my
fortieth year but if my age does not frighten
you, offer you my hand in marriage and my
brilliant position /" Notwithstanding his in
tense astonishment the conductor took off hi:
cap and at once accepted the offer, refusing by
way of generous acknowledgement to acep
of any compensation for the distance she haC
already ridden. The marriage was recently
celebrated. The conductor finds himself
