Spirit of the age. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1849-1865, 1856-07-16

and whose gracefulness drew forth the
admiration Of each beholder ; while her
elegance of form and manner gained her
respect on the first interview, her affablll-
ty and elevation of mind chained to her
every intimate friend. We saw her IN
her own hospitable saloon, among gems,
the brilliant of chief attraction, the spirit
that animated and charmed all around her.
The elegance Of her attire well became
her symmetrical form ; and, while all adj
mired, the eye of her husband rested on
her, oft and again, with doating fondness-
A few moons passed over us, when a deep
but subdued moaning called our attention.
We gathered around, but not for hilarity.
The well turned arm lay motionless by her
side; that expressive eye was lustreless
the diamond had fallen from its casket, and
beautiful as that casket was, we touched
but to r%ccoil, for deaths icy hand had ru-
ined it.
Yes, we gathered around, to carry to
her last home this beauteous and beloved
woman And who can paint the agony
or soothe the sorrow of that stricken hear
that loved her best. All that could b.
said-and it was the feeling Of every sou
was, how sublunary is human happiness
how transient the best of earthly joys

A Beautiful Experiment.

An interesting and beautiful experiment
for the people to try is as follows.-Take a
sheet OF white pa per, (blue or any other col
or will do as WELL write on it your name
and post office address in plain, legible char
%acters, and if any of your friends wish to
try the experiment with you, add theirs, or
If you are a bachelor and wish to play a nice
trick OF surprise upon some fair young lady,
add her name and address also. Then.lay
over the names as many dollars as you nave
names, OF you can't get paper conveniently,
gold coin will do as well, fold up the sheet
of paper carefully, place it in an envelope
seal it up, write on the back of it " Spirit of
the Age, Raleigh, n. c." and lodge it in
some Post Office for further operations. You
and all your friends and your swecthearts will
be surprised at the result you will be visi-
ted once a weeka whole year by a delightful
companion who neither eats or drinks. but
tells you many wonderful things good for to
remember. Those who have tried this simple
experiment say it is all that it promises and
that they are highly pleased. If the expert
ment was generally tried, we hay'nt a doubt
but the consequences would be highly graft
flying to all parties. Try 1t.

tice of the fact is given, others will be sent.
We would respectfully urge upon the pro.
per officers, the necessity of promptness in
forwarding their reports, with the per cen,
tage, as soon after the end of the Quarter as
practicable. There has been great neglect
in this matter heretofore, which has serious
ly retarded the business of the Office of Crane
Scribe.

Thoughts.

Thoughts that are ever dropping from the
lips are like Autumn leaves upon the surface
of a rolling, restless riser. They lie upon
the surface without breaking a wave or a
rousing a new born ripple; and thus float
away without leaving any remembrance of
their form and color behind.
Thoughts that lie deep in the soul-that
are slow of utterance, are like coral crowned
rocks IN the bosom of the mighty ocean
they rear not their SUBMITS above the sur
face, but the restless waves and the foaming
surf tel US of ther presence and memory
writes it in her book as so many beacons to
warn us away from the shoals of vice and
error.
