THE BEw1TcHED CLOCK.

About half past eleven o'clock on Sun
day night, human leg enveloped in blue
broadcloth might have been SEEM en-
tering Deacon Cephas Barbery's kitchen
window. The leg was followed, finally
by the entire person of live Yankee,
attired in his Sunday-go connecting
clothes--It was, in short, Joe Mayweed
who thus burglariously, in the dead of
the night won his way into the deacon's
kitchen.
Wonder how much the old Deacon
made by ordcrin' me not to darken his
door agin p soliloquissd the young gen.
tleman. Promised him wouldn't but
didn't say nothin' about winders. Win
ders are just as good as doors, eff there
amt no nails to tear your trowsers onto.
Wonder if Sail III come down ? the crit

about here, cause might break my shins
over sumthin 'nuther, and wake the old
folks. Cold enough to freeze Polish

o here comes Sally The beautecus
maid descended with pleasant smile,
a tallow candle, and a card of Lucifer
matches; she made up rousing fire in
the cooking stove, and the happy couple
sat down to enjoy the sweet interchange
of vows and hopes.
But the course of true love can run no
smoother in old Barberry's kitchen than
it does elsewhere, and Joe, who was just
making up his mind to treat himself with
a kiss was startled by the voice of the
deacon, her father, shouting from his
chamber door.

middle of the night for e

'I'll make it truth, then, said Joe !;
and running to the huge old-fashioned
clock that stood in the corner, he set it
at Eve.
Look at the clock and tell me what
time it is,' cried the old gentleman.
Its five by the clock answered Sally
and o3rroborating her words, the clock
struck Eve. The lovers sat down again
and resumed their conversation. Sud
denly the staircase began to creak.

SalI'

tracted girl.

clock and without another word, he
concealed himself in the case, and drew
the door behind him.
The deacon was dressed, sitting him
self down by the cooking stove, pulled
out his pipe, lighted it, and commenced
smoking deliberately and calmly.
Five o'clock, said he, Well, I shall
have time to smoke three or four pipes,
then I'll go and feed the critters
Hadn't you better feed the critters
fust and smoke afterwards p suggested
Sally.
'No-smokin' clears my head and
wakes me up, answered the deacon, who
seemed not whit disposed to hurry his
enjoyment.

sr WILLIAM PITT rALxEz.

From the quickened womb of the primal gloom
The sun rolled black and bare,
Till wove him vest for his Ethiop breast
ofthe threads Of my golden hair;
And when the broad tent of the armament
Arose on its airy spars,
penciled the hue of its matehless blue,
And spangled itround with stars.
I painted the flowers of the Eden bowers,
And their leaves of living green.
And mine were the dyes in the sinless eyes
OF Eden's virgin queen;
And when the fiend1s art on the trustful heart
- Had fastened its mortal spell,
In the siIvery sphere of the irst-born tear
To the trembling earth fell.
nthewaves that burst Ger world accur-
sed,
Their work of wrath had sped,
And the Arlks lone few, tried and true,
Came forth among the dead;
With the wond 'rous CLEANS ofmy bridal beams,
I bade their terrors cease,
AsI vroteen the roll of the storms dark scroll,
Gods covenant of peace
Like pail at rest en- senseless breast,
Where shepherd swains on the Bethlehem
plains
Their lonely vigils kept
when flashed onfheir sight the heralds bright
ofHeaven's redeemiag plan,
As they ehanted the morn of Savior born
Joy, JOY to tie ouscast man.
Equal favor show to the lofty and low,

Nay. the flower of the waste by my love is en-
braeed,
As the rose in the garden of kings;
At the chrysalis bier of the wern appear,
And lOl the gay butterfly wings
The desolate Morn, like mourner forlorn.
Conceals all the pride IS she--e4aru-z5
Till I bid the bright hours chase the night from
her flowers,
And lead the young day to her arms
And when the gay rover seeks Eve for his lover,
And sinks to her balmy rePose,
wrap tAe soft rest by the zephyrfanned west,
In curtains of amber and rose.
From my sentinel steep. by the night brooded
deep,
= Igaze with unslumbering eye.
When the cynosure star of the mariner
Is blotted from out the skyi
And guided by me through the merciless sea,
Though sped by the hurricanes wings,
His composites, dark, lone, weltering bark
To the haven home safely he brings.
I wakeu the flowers in their dew-spangied
bowers,
The birds in their chambers of green.
And mountains and plain glow with beauty
again.
As they bask in their matinal sheen.
o. ffsuch the glad worth of my presence to
sarth,
Though ftful and feeting the while.
What glories must rest on the home of the
blest
Ever bright with the Deity's smile.

AN IMPARTIAL WITNESS.

It has been recently very broadly and confidently
asserted that the only advocates and rends OF the pre-
ssnt nspection laws are the inspectors themselves. AS
nm ustration of the erroncousness of this statement,
we have already published the message of Gov Lowe
of Maryland and the action oil the Legislature OF
that State. in favor OF inspection laws precisely sni-
lar to our own.
We appeud the opinions of an eminent French au-
tbority, upon the same subject. We refer to NJ.
Cbeyaer. gentleman Of high scientific attalnments,
who was sent to this country some years ago. by the
Minister of the Interior in France, to Inspect our
pubic works. We quote that portion OF his work
which relates particularly 10 the inspection laws OF
Virginia:

CENSUS OF MASSACHUSETTS AND NORTH
CAROLINA.


We.hink every sensible man in Massachusetts, al
ter comparing the census OF his own STATE "lh ''"
,s North Carolina, whether he be actuaed by selfish
policy or enlarged philanthropy will arlse from inc
comparison n warm friend OF the Union As It 49, ne
statistics which we shall cite, might, Of themselves
induce the belief tha, the Bay State was only pro-
ductive criminal. and paupers But titisweil known
that despite her fanaticism, she is wealthy, enght
ened. industrious and energetic. Her commerce ano
manufactures supply her with the products of agrl'
culture. Disunion would cripple those resources, and
probably expe her industry skill and capital, to bet
ter markets and more congeual clilnes. The popu
!atun of Massachusetts in 1850 was lin round num-
bers) million, that Of North Carolina, eight hundred
and seventy thousand. Massachusetts, produced thir'
,y.oue thousand bushels Of wheat, two millions three
hundred and forty.fve thousand bushels Of Indian
corn, and three-millons i've hundred and eiGhty'hve
thousand bushels of potatoes-eishty' thousand
hogs for,y-two thousand horses and mules, and two
hundred and sixty thousand cattle The productions
of North Corolina in proportion to population, were
about ten times as great. They produced TWO I'LL"
lions one hundred and thirty thousand bushels o.
wheat, twenty-seven millions bushels Indian corn
FIVE millions seven hundred thousand bushels potatoes
one million eight hundred thousand hogs one nun
dred and seventy four thousand horses and mules
and six hundred and ninety-three thousand CATTLE
What field she exhibits for Massachusetts com
merce and manufactured Yet she would fare better
IN case Of d.unon than Massachusetts, she pro
duces all the necossaries Of life, and might produce
ts lu1uries within herself.
The statistics of crime and pauperism exhibit quite
NJ, startling difference in favor OF North Carolina
and proye that she can and does attend to the moral
and physical condition Of her people, and needs no
foreign prompting or interference. Before quoting
those statistics we would remark that fuel, 50 dear
and 20 much needed in Massachusettss at every mans
door in North Carolina without money, and without
prce-for there are few towns in that State. In Mas
sachusetts in $780, there were fifteen thousand seven
hundred paupers; in North Carolina, one thousand
nine hundred In Massachusetts,, criminals convicted
in 1885, seven thousand; in North Carolina Elk nun
dred In prisons, in Massachusetts, one thousands IN
North Carolina forty -four In ails in Massachusetts
one thousand; in North Carolina, thirty-four. In
penitentiaries in Massachusetts, four hundred ana
thirty one; in North Carolina, fourteen. Odd Fellows
charities, in Massachusetts, $246,D0O in North Caro-
lima, $4,000.
We think these statistics deserve the serious study
of every christian, patriot and phianthropst IN Inc
Union.
