The Coal FIELDS RAuRoAD-The following from
the Weldon Patriot, is new evidence of the pro-
gress of this work in public favor .
awe see the Fayetteville papers are urging upon
the attention of the people the Importance of aiding
the Coalfelds Railroad. Whatever our feelings may
have been heretofore in regard to this enterprise,
recent events have inclined us to regard it more
favorably than at any time hitherto and to dispose
us to examine the subject with every desire to its
success even if the State shall be required to extend
her aid provided that thereby she is not too serious
ly involved in consequence"

emboweling the earth of the rich treasures which
have long lain useless in the Deep River valley

AN INDIGNANT WoMAN.-Some "horrid wretch
having ventured on the opinion that "a woman who
loves unsought, deserves the scorn of the man she
loves" is shot dead by the following from lady
correspondent of the Buffalo Patriot:
Heaven forgive me! but may the man who pen
ned that never see another bonnet May no white
dimpled arms encircle his cravat, buttons
vegetate on his shirts May rosy lips ever press
his moustache and the fates grant that his dickey
strings break short off every morning. May no wo-
mans heart learn to beat faster except with in
dignaton, at the mention of his name, and may his
stockings always need darning.
And when his nerves all unstrung by disease,
and his head throbs with pain, though an earth
quake were brewing in it, may he have nothing in
his sick chamber but boot heels, and see not one
inch of muslin or calico.
Gives her love unasked! Oh! with true heart
ed man, this would methinks, be the reason of rea-
sons why he should love her. She gives to him her
whole heart in these things woman does not
work by halves-not from gratitude, because he
loves her; not from pity charity, because he has
begged it of her: but because-because- me !!
it will take more of philosopher than am to &C
count for the undeniable fact that women do some
times love the horrid creatures called men.

vote of New York for the last three years, by which
it will be seen that the Democratic party, though

ever before. The figures show that the "Americans"
have dwindled to fragment, and that the only
parties having any life organization are the De-
mocratic and Black Republican parties:

Be a Woman.
Oft I've heard a gentle mother,
As the twilight hours began,

Oft Eve heard gentle mother,
AS the twilight hours began,
Pleading with a son of duty,
Urging him to be man.
: But unto her blue-eyed daughter,
Though with loves words quite as ready,
Points she out this other duty,
"Strive my dear to be lady"
What's ladys Is it something
Made of heops,- and silks and airs,
Used to decorate the parlor,
Like the fancy rugs and chairs?
Is it one who wastes on novels
Every feeling that is human?
If tits this to be lady,
IT'S not this to be a woman. Eo5
Mother, then, unto your daughter
Speak of something higher far,
Than to be mere fashions lady
"Woman," is the brighter star.
If ye, in your strong affection,
Urge your son to be a true man,
Urge your daughter no less strongly.
To arise and be woman.
Yes, woman-brightest model
Of that high and perfect beauty,
Where the mind, and soul, and body
Blend to work out life's great duty
Be woman-naught is higher
On the gilded list of fame;
On the catalogue of virtue
There's no brighter, holier name.
Be a woman-on to duty,
Rise the world from all that's low,
Place high in the social heaven
Virtues fair and radiant bowl!
Lend thy influence to each effort
That shall raise our natures human;
Be not fashions gilded lady,
Be brave whole-souled, true woman.

most fortunate loss when Mary dropped
that purse; but. Frank always inter-

him if he had failed to advertise it.!
