The Levsburg Chronicle has desire to make our Ia te

As none but the omniscient One can
know the "desires" Of any man, our neigh
Dor is very rash in attempting to fathOm
ours. We had not the least "desire" TO
"make odious" your Fair, and the charge
is "bearing false witness" We "desire"
usefulness and perpetuity to we'll conduc-
ted Fairs, and our criticisms are designed
for the best good of all.
The issue of our paper alluded to by the
Miltoniau, was week before lasts. In it,
(as the reader will fiud by reference,) We
aoticed the recent Fair at Lewisburg, at
Milton, at Washingtonville, at Williams

tto't (and still think we're the prominent
merits and demerits of each" without
fear, favor or affection, hatred, malice or
Ill will" Ono would suppose from read
ing the Miltonisu, we had made wanton
and causeless attack on that Fair only and
with an evil design-vhich is entirely an
erroneous impression. Copy all of our
criticisms, neighbor (as We have yours,) or
fair people will think the evil "desire" is
with you rather than with US.

few foreigners who were sojournng in

means by which that illustrious lady WAS
restored To health, when given over bvall
the faculty IN Rome, is not however so
generally known. She owes her life, and
Is ever prompt To ackno Wedge the obIiga-
ton. to the most distinguished physician
OF the age, Dr. Thomas Holloway. That
cXtraordinary nun happened to arrive in
ihe 'Seven-hiIled City" just at the crisis
iot her disorder, and was Immediately sum
moned 10 her palace. He found the I'rin-
cess IN Il sad condition. During an eve

been smilten by the fearful malaria whi;h
sometimes arises in poisonous clouds from

was violent bilious attack, terminating
in jaundce. The lovely face which hal

OF the doctor what could be done for her,
at the same time protesting that if the hue
that now tlnged her skin were to remain
after her recovery she would rather die
than live. Smiling at the pardonablo vanity
OF one whose que enly beauty was the
theme OF every traveller who visited Rome,
he told her cheerfuly tha: her life and her
loYel:ness were both safe. His prediction
proved true. Under the inf uence of mis-

as branding, whipping, cropping the

On beautiful May morning, strolled

Is supposed to preside. In one of the
passages l encountered the High Sheriff
OF the county, carry ing a tinker's furnace
IN one hand, and what seemed to be n
soldering iron in the other. On inquirpg
whose ''gude wife's" pans he was going
to mend, he informed me that he WAS
about to brand man who had just been
convicted of bigamy. A curiosity which
L was ashamed of but could not resist, led
me into the court room. found it
crowded.
In few minutes the Judge entered, and
taking his seat upon the Bench, with his
hat on, Judges here sit covered, ordered
the crier to open the court. That impor-
tant functionary then stepped to an open
window, put out his head, 40 yes''ed
three times, and the Honorable, the Su-
perior Court was opened in due form
The prisoner was then brought in by the
sheriff and an assistant -whereupon his
counsel moved for new trial, on the

BILE to procure the attendance of all his
witnesses. His honor inquired if he
could give the requisite security. On be-
ing answered in the negative, "then," said
his honor, ''let the sentence Of the Court
be executed forthwith" The Sheriff and
his deputy then blndfolded the prisoner
tied his hands, and bound his head firmly
to the bar.
Taking the branding iron hot from the
furnace, the sheriff applied it red lot to
the cheek of the bigamist, burning a plain
letter b, an inch and half long, and
nearly half an inch deep. rhe prisoner
was then remanded to jail, where his head
and hands Were introduced into the pil-
lory, and ''forty stripes save one" were
applied to his bare back, after which he
was discharged.
Every jail in N. c. is provided with

FEMALE DELIoAcY.-Above all other
features which adorn the female character,
deIicacy stands foremost within the prov
nce Of good taste. Not hat delicacy
which is perpetually in quest of some
thing to be ashamed Of; which makes merit
of blush, and simpers at the false con-
struction its own ingenuity hls put upon
an innocent remark; this spurious kind of
deiicacy is far removed from good sense;
but the highminded delicacy which main
tains its pure and undertaking walk alike
among women aad the society of men
which shrinks from no necessary duty, and
can speak when required with serious
ness and kindness, of things on which it
would be ashamed to smile or blush; that
delicacy which knows how to confer "a
benefit without wounding the feelings of
another. which can give aims without as
sumption, and pains not the most suscep-
tible being in creation. Home Journal

HOW TO Prospeg i'm Business.

In the first place make up your mind to
accomplish whatever you undertake; de-
eide upon some particular employment, and
perseyere in it. All difficulties are over
come by diligence aud a.siduity.
Be not afraid TO work with your own
hands, and diligently, too. "a cat in
gloves catches no mice" He who re-
mains in the mill grinds, not he who goes
and comes.
Attend to your business, never trust to

Be abstemious. "Who dainties love

Rise early. The sleepy fox catches

Treat every one with respect and civility.
Everything is gained and nothing lost by

Never anticipate wealth from any other
source than labor; especially never place
dependence upon becoming the possessor
OF an inheritance. ''I1e who waits for

Above all things never despair. God is

EeD"A celebrated horliculturlst has
said, it is a remarkable fact. according to
the chemistry of the world, that trees
which are regularly shaken every day in
the greenhouse, grow more rapidly, and
arc stronger than others which are kept
unagitated. Tho winds then are neces-
sary to the heathful growth of the forest
and the orchard. What is good for trees
is good for men-vigorous agitation. The
chemistry of success shows that activ-
ity is accumulative for Inherent power as

THE ADIEU.

Wen miss her al the morning hour,
When leaves and eyes uneiosr;
When sunshine calls the dewy flower
To waken from rcposc;
For, like tho singing of bird,
When first tho suHbcams fail,
The gladness of her volco Was heard
The earliest of us all.
Wen miss her at the evening time,
For then her voice and Lutte
Best loved to sing som. sweet old thyme
When other sounds were mute;
Twlned round the ancient NindOw-seat,
While she WAS singing thGrc,
The Jcssaniinc from outside would meet,
And wreath her fragrant hair.
Well miss hor when We gather round
Our blazing hearth ut night,
Wien ancient memories abound,
Or hopes where all unite,
And pie; SAINT talk of years to come
Those years our fancies frame;
All! she has now another home,
And bears another namo.
Her heart is not with our old hall,
Not with the things of yorGl
And yet, methinks, she must recall
What WAS 50 dear before.
She wCpt to leave the fond roof where
She had been loyed 80 long,
Though glad the peal upon The air,
aud gay the bridal throng.
Yes, memory has honey cells,
Aud some of them are ours,
For in the sweetest of ,hem dwells
The dream of early hours:
The hearth. the hall, the window seat,
Will bring US To her mind;
In yon wide world She caiihOt meet
All that she left behind.
Loved and beloved her own sweet will
1t was that made her fate,
She has fairy honi6-but still
Our own seems dcsOlate.
We may not wish her back again,
Not for her own dear sake;
Oh. love, to form one happy chain,
How many thou cunst break!
