| A Coop RECOMMENDATIoN.-In the report OF
the Surveyor General of the State-for copy
| of which we are not indebted to any Of the MEM
bers of the Legisature-we find recommends
ton, giving to County Surveyors the supervls-
ion of roads and of the highways; which upon
and substantial Improvement on the present
system. The Office of County Surveyor, in the
mining counties especially, is responsible one,
and requires bond of $4,000, for the honest
and faithful performance ofhis duty, and yet
the proceeds OF the office are not sufficient to
justify competent Surveyor in the acceptance
of the office. The same difficulty to certain
extent attends the management OF our public
roads, and it is a lamentable fact that, though
I much labor and money is annually expended in
the Improvement of roads, they are almost in
varably bad and seldom meet the expectation
or wishes of the community taxed. Now, it oc
ours to us that under a judicious and scientific
management, we might continually have good
and substantial roads throughout every portion
of the country without increasing taxation
and that this might be done by uniting these du-
ties with those of the County Surveyor, and at
taching competent salary thereto, to justify
the election of able and scientific Surveyors.
A Surveyor, who properly understands his
business, would never lay out a road injudi-
ciously nor spend money or labor in appropria-
tions, or work that would not benefit the high
I,
knowledge in making surveys. instead of in
passible roads, and constant changes of from
bad to worse, we might enjoy the benefit of safe
and we'll graded roads, as well as of just and
legal county surveys.
The proposition is at all events worthy of
consideration and deserves notice at the hands
of our law-givers.

"What makes you look so dull this morn

merchant in a small way, OF his wife.
They had been married about year, and
thus far not an ill.natured word had been
spoken BY them. At his marriage, Chester
had taken small, but neat and convenient
house, in the upper part Of the city. he
had been able 20 furnish il only in plain
manner but since his marriage his business
had added many articles Of luxury 10 bis
small establishment.
The times had begun 10 tighten up,
however, aud business was dull. The notes
were due, and he had TO bestir himself "a
make his payments. Fortunately for him,
however, as the stringency in the money
market began 10 weigh most heavily, his
fathers administrator placed him in posses
sion Of two thousand dollars, which had
been reserved 10 await the contingencies Of
law suit. and which had now been satisfac.
toriIy adjusted.
With this sum he had been able 10 pay Oh
his more pressing demands. and 10 lay bY a
surplus Of five hundred dollars TO meet a
note which would fall due some two months
hence. The receipt Of this sum also induced
him 70 increase the luxuries Of bis house.
The parlor had been newly furnished, and
the old parlor furniture placed in the sitting
room. They had everything that was ne.
cessary for comfort, and for creditable ap-
pearanee in the world.
"you look very dull" continued the hus.
band, as nc arose from the breakfast table.
Ellen looked up at him with a languid
smile, but made no reply.
"what ails you I"
al was thinking how lonesome I should
be here all day." replied she.
" Lonesome Why don'tyou 60 out, then

n. CAROLINA GRAPEs.--It gives us great
pleasure to note the constantly increasing
interest manifested in this State in the grape
culture and the vintage of wines. Besides
the Scuppernong wine, which is made all
over the eastern part Of the State, we have
heretofore mentioned the champagne and
still wines made in Columbus county. which
are in much repute and command high
price.
We have the pleasure Of stating that a
company Of gentlemen Of this place last year
bought suitable tract of land, and have set
out some thousands Of vines Of a variety Of
kinds, and that they intend TO give the re-
quiste attention to their cultivation, and to
the making Of wine, on the most approved
systems. Fay. OBS

BROKEN TIES.

By MONTGOMERY.
The broken ties Of happier days,
How often do they seem
To come before our mental gaze
Like remembered dream
Around US each discovered chain
In sparkling ruin lies,
And earthly hand shall nc'er again
Unite these broken ties.
The parents Of our youthful home.
The kindred that we loved,
Far from our arms perchance may roam,
To desert seas removed,
Or We have watched their parting breath.
And closed their weary eyes,
And sighed 10 think how sadly death
Can sever human ties.
The friends, The loved ones Of our youth,
They, too, have gone or changed,
o. worse than all, their Iovs and ruth
Are darkened and esiranged.
They meet US in The glitlerng throng,
With cold aycrtcd eyes,
And wonder that we keep their wrong,
And mourn our brOkeniies.
O, who in a world Ike this
Gould bear his lot Of pain,
Did not one ra,lisnt hope Of bliss
linclouded yet remain
That hope the Sovereign Lord has given
Who reigns above the skies,
Hope that uni,cs our souls 10 heaven
BY faiths enduring ties.
Eacn care. each III Of mortal birth,
Is sent in plying love,
To Iili the lingering heart from earth
And speed its high, above.
And every pang thai wrings the breast
And every JOY that dies.
Tells Us 10 seek purer rest,
And trust TO holier ties.
