l love thee, dear Homestead, tho for years
had / strayed,
Meath thy old matched roof, and thy wide
spreading shade
lis expected that !, who have played at thy
side,
should be reluctant, when called to reside
Amid other scenes that more joyous appear,
Yet TO fond mcmory, thouPt ever be dear.
Tho but O mere child, when removed from
thy plains,
u remembered the beauteous and innocent
strains,
of the mock-bird which warbled throughout
the day long,
Cheering me oft, with its sweet lyric song.
Il gazed on decline Of summers bright sun,
Engaged in repast when days work was done,
Chased the wild butterfly, far from its bowers,
iCulled the modest violet, and other sweet
flowers.
The voice Of the wind, as it rustled so deep
The sweetness Of sound, which lulled me to
sleep
On thy bosom in childlike ease I reposed,
Sweetly, al sweetly we're my spirits com
posed,
As / plucked the wild roses of loneliness rare,
(which / twined in a wreath, mid daisies so
fair,
10 gather the cowslip, more exquisite still,
u wandered afar DER each valley, and hill.
] can never in gayety thy dear scenes forget
Nor speak of the past but in tones of regret,
ghat 80 soon from thy beauteous shades, l
must part,
Thou elysian purity, thou sunshine of my
heart.
Should sorrow ever thrill, or happir ess arise
The precepts | gained meath thy own azure
skies
Will l fondly attribute in loves gentle tone,
10 the scenes of my childhood, which are over
and gone.
Twill be pleasant to think thus of days that
are passed,
Though the cloud Of misfortune be over us
cast.
Old Homestead must l leave thee, from thee
must | sever,
For longest of years perhaps forever?
No more to repose near thy crystalline stream
Nor enjoy as Of yore the sunny spirit dreami
Though afar 1 may wander, Ger land and
DER sea,
Dear home Of my youth. I'll ne'er forget thee,
Abode Of my childhood thy nam casts a spell,
OF thee will / dream. Farewell ! Farewell

Bear in mind THE State Fair will
be opened, in this City, on the 18th of
October. Make your arrangements, in
time, to attend, and be sure to bring some
thing along with you to exhibit. If you
have prepared nothing specially for the
occasion, gather up something, however
small, and bring it along. Remember,
this world of ours is not made up of tower
ing mountains, foaming cataracts and bill
lowy oceans, but of small atoms-each fur
nishing matter for curious and instructive
examination. So of Fairs. 1t is not the
big fat cattle, huge machinery, or prodi-
pious pumpkins that form the chief attrac-
tions /: the numerous smaller specimens of
nrt and natural productions, possessing
beauty, utility and perfection, and mani
Testing skill, ingenuity, or industry, make
up the grand and imposing whole. Every
friend of improvement should take 4 deep
interest in, and contribute something to
the success of the Fair and every North
Carolinian should take pride in doing what
eyer may be in his power to render the
show not only respectable, but equal if not
superior to similar exhibitions in other
States-Aye, let us beat them if we can.
We call, then, upon all-and especially
upon the ladies-to be ready-to attend
in person and bring something to show
We hope the ladies will take the cause into
considerations tends greatly to maintain
their rights and enlarge their comforts
and agitate the subject from now until the
time for the meeting, giving no rest to hus
bands or brothers until they arouse in then
the right spirit and prompt them to tn,
right action. Let us have one grand mas
meeting of the whole State, which shal
send back a thrill Of delight and spirit @

ference.--Ardt0r.

IT HAS WORKED MIRACLES!
THAT all the bald and gray can be restored
perfectly to original growth, so far as their locks
are concerned, does not admit of doubt besides,
it will cure every possible disease of the scalp,
whether developed as d~andruff, itching, or in the
shape of cutancous eruptions-even scald- head
and in no possible case will it fai! of curing, as if
by magic, nervous or periodical headache, and If
used twice a week by the young, regularly, it will
