What is Man 7"

A London paper in answer to this question
says :-"Chemically speaking, a man is forty
five pounds of carbon and nitrogen, diffused
through five and a half ~pailfulls Of water"
A bachelor wag asks the question, What
Is woman ?" and answers it himself as fol-
lows Mechanically speaking, a woman
is one hundred pounds Of flesh and blood, two
pounds of silk, ten pounds OF cotton, and
one pound of " haiebone, with an indefinite
amount of fuss aud feathers"
We scarcely know what punishment ought
to be inflicted upon the slanderer of tue. gen.
tie sex. Let him be crushed under a cotton
bag, and there compelled TO forego the hiss
of paradise, unless lie passed a lady standing
in the entrance gate, in full rugged, modern
style, hoped dress, without touching the
hem of her garment. In this case, the por
tails would be wider than the Scriptures say
eth, if he ever enjoyed the society Of woman
in Heaven.

The True Gentleman.

We once heard a man, in relating some
adventure, use the expression-"myself and
another gentleman" and within the next
minutes drop a remark ~designedly inten-
ded to wound the feelings of one present
who happened to be the son Of q poor man.
We at once branded the would-be gentle
man" as sailing under false colors and des-
titute of gentlemanly principles, for no one
is truly a gentleman who would wound the
feelings of the humbiest man, merely for the
sake Of seeing him with under sting OF his
sarcasm. 1t is a base yulgarity for which
the dress of the person, how fine soeyer, can
never atone. The man who desires and endea-
vors to make those around him happy, and
who never gives just cause Of offence to any
ones feelings, is a gentleman by nature and
by practice, though he may never have worn
broadcloth and s%atins, or rubbed his back
against a high sounding college. To the
honor of our race, there are men, whose great
est solicitude Is for the welfare and happi-
ness Of their fellow beings, aud these are the
true gentlemen.

Holloway's Ointment and Pills the most

was for FIVE years afHi cted with sore arms;
there were four different ulcers on them, and

1t he tried various remedies and they failed
to benefit him however, about thirteen weeks
ago, at the recommendation of friends, he
had resourse to Holloway's Ointment and

he called on Professor Holloway four weeks
since to show him his arms, which were quiet
well. and scarcely the scars Psr0sPtihls.

IA On Thursday last, two men of the
name of Turner were arrested by the pas
sengers on the North Carolina Railroad train,
near Hillsboro', and broughtto this City and
committed to jail by A. G.. Drake, Justice of
the Peace, on a charge of obstructing the
cars. 1t seems that logs of wood had been
placed on the track, and a plank fastened
down with stakes, with the devilish intent of
throwing the train down an e~mbankment !;
but fortunately the alarm was given in time
and no damage ensued. These men were
observed lodging behind a tree, were pur-
sued, and caught. They had axes, and it
was clear to the passengers that they were
guilty of the atrocious act. The offence was
committed in Orange County, and we pre-
sumo they will be deliveredoyer to the Coun-
ty Attorney Of Orange for trial.

DEAR Bro. GoRMAN: Knowing that
you are always pleased to hear of the pros
perity of the cause of Temperance, it gives
me pleasure to state to you that the Divis-
ion in this place has been in a more pros
porous condition for. some time past than
for several years, having initiated a goodly
number the last quarter.
!. We have Gen. Cary with us to-day. He
has been in attendance on the G. D., and
will spend about one month in the State.
His lecture to-day, Iamay safely say, fully
sustained his high reputation and if he
could visit all parts of the State and the
enemies of the prohibitory law would come
out to hear him, there would be no difficult
ty in passing the law afterwards. He will
deliver a literary lecture before the Che
raw Lyceum tonight. He goes from here
to Charleston, thence to all points Of the
State that are reachedby Rail Road.
Yours in i. P. 4 F.

s0r Reader, did you ever try to write
to c%onjure up ideas, a subject and words
and yet the more you laDored, the more, like
"%spirits from the vastly Deep" they would
not come? If you have, you know how to
appreciate the predicament in which we find
ourselves this week. After a dozen ~fruitless
trials, we nave given over in despair, and
therefore devote the most of this paper to the
inditings of others-a change which perhaps
will not be dIsagreeable to you.

1t would be no violence to render the pas
sage thus In my fathers home are many
homes ; l 90 to prepare one for you. A
BEAUTIFUL HOME! Is there another ex-
preston of equal brevity which comprises
20 much of what constitutes earthly hap
pinosss as this? Then it is a pleasing fact
that heaven is revealed to us in the famil-
lar and cheering light of home for had it
been revealed only as the '"HOly City" its
splendors indeed would have "dazzled our
eyes and awed our spirits, but would they
have so won our hearts ? then it is in mer-
cy to our present weak vision that while the
splendor of holiness of heaven are not in
the least abated, they are mellowed by our
being permitted to look at them through
the medium of a home atmosphere. Oh
yes, tho place prepared by. Christ for the
phoie fdnlly of the redeemed, will indeed
be "a home And it will be beautiful one.
We should not overlook this fact. True,
the moral attractions Of the heavenly world,
its purity, its society and its employments
are the greater considerations that should
occupy the thoughts, win the affections and
fire the ardor of the christian still it can
never be true policy or duty to disregard
the fact that it will be q place of great
and transceudant beauty. That it will be SC
is evident from the fact that it is the creator
of the same glorious architect who made the
world VIC now inhabit. That God DELIGHTS
in the creation of physical beauty must be

he scattered it as with profuse hand every
where over the earth. And he has don,
this not only where man is found to be

where no eye except his own all-seeing on

Sudden Death: We learn that on Fri
day night last, Mrs. James Busbee, of this
County, dropped down and died suddenly.
She was at the house of Mr.. Jno. Kitchener.
Some young men were serenading the fami-
iy, when, stepping towards. the door to
hear the music, she fell in the hall and in
stantly expired.
