Educational Association of N. Carolina

"Resolved, That the Recording Secreta-
ry be instructed to have certificates of mem
bershlp printed on cards, and send them To
the address of each member of this Asso-
citation, before our next meeting"
The above is taken from the proceedings
of the Educational Association of N. c.,
which was organized in Warrenton the past
summer. The object was to secure to
members the benefit of reduced fare on the
railroads in attending the meetings of the
Association. That the Secretary may dis
charge his duty, it is necessary that he
should know the address of the members
He therefore requests that all who wish
certificates, will address him a note, giving
their names, post Office, &C., with an extra
stamp enclosed to prepay postage. Lee
this be attended to at the earliest practica
convenience, that ample time may be af
forded to have the certificates prepared anc
sent to their destination before the Is

Perseverance of a Lady in England.

A young lady who had been courted by
a certain gentleman whom she was fondly
attached, made proposals to marry her
without the consent of her father, who at
some time previous had disappEoveG of
their union. This proposal was a great
trial to dutiful child, who had hitherto
obeyed every request of that indulgent pa
rent On reflection she refused her lovers
proposition, but determined to ask the
consent of her father the following morn
ing at breakfast, which she put into effect.
In reply he told her that when she could
get as many penny postage stamps as
would paper the room in which he sat, she
might consider herself at liberty to be mar
ried, but not until then would he give his
consent. She at first thoughtit next to an
impossibility for her to accomplish it, but
on second thought, hit upon the right plan,
by causing an advertisement to be put IN
to the public newspapers, stating how she
was situated, and requested all those IN ia
vor of the motion to signify it by sending
to her address more or less OF the needful
stamps, to enable her to secure the man OF
her choice. In two or three days, letters
from all parts Of England and Scotland
began to pour in, AID in less than two
weeks she had as many as would covertWo
Isuch rooms. She commenced to paste
them on, bat her father seeing her deter
Emination and plentiful supply OF stamps,
gave his consent, and they were married

when he drinks spirits, but when he bears
