These Lines

4re respect fully dedicntcd to the reatarcS Of Miss
a. WHIrFORD, deceased.
MRS. J. H.
Mourn not that the flower has faded
That bloomed in thy pathway awhile;
Mourn not tn It the bright life has vanished
Whose love could thy sorrow beguile.
Like the dew from the heart of the rose
Exhaled to its fount in the sky,
Thus silent her spirit departed
To its God and giver on high.
And Death thy loved flower hath garnered
To bloom i'll the land of the blest-
The star from thy armament faded
Now shines on Emanuel's breast.
And there it will gIisten forever,
And there in beauty twill bloom,
On the banks of lIfe's shining river,
Hard by the Eternals white throne
And still will the light Of her virtues
Hume thy dark pathway below,
And her love though by death it be shaded
Its fragrance around thee still throw.
Then mother. and brothers tender,
While over her grave We may weep,
Hear the voice of Jesus procaming,
Weep not, the maids only asleep.

AND THERE WAS LIGHT-Gas is becoming an
institution in the old North State. From the Car
Gilman we learn that darkness has departed from
that people:
Gas and its Efcct.-Our town was lighted up
with gas last night. Gas is a great institution
and has wonderful effect upon both darkness
and darkies. The former has left us for a season,
the latter were out CT masse last evening. The
houses and stores OF our citizens were beautifully
illuminated, presenting a very cheering appear
ance more Efe-like and animating than we have
ever seen old Fayetteville.
Messrs. Waterhouse 81 Bowes deserve great
credit for their despatch in this work. They be-
gan with little encouragement-could hardly get
any stock takon-now, it is earnestly soughG for.

" IT'S better to have loved and lost,
Than never to have loved at all"

I n G. UNIvEsITY MAGAzINE.-We copy the
following notice of the December number of this
work from the Wilmington Journal, supposing it
to be better than anything we nigh prepare our
self:
The North Carolina University Magazine for
December, is at hand. 1t is adorned by portrait
of Hon Frederick Nash. l.. L. D., Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court of North Carolina. To this is
ap. .ded brief Memoir of Judge Nash, by
Hon John H. Bryan :"
Next in order is the address delivered before the
Alumni Association of the University, at the
mencement of 1857, by Hon Warren Winslo,..
In the Editors Table we find the Correspon-
dence between Committee of the Senior Glass
of the University of North Carolina and Arch
Bishop Hughes, of New York. containing the in
vtation to the Bishop to deliver the commence
ment sermon on the night before the first Thurs
day, in June, 1860; also, the Bishops acceptance.
He wishes to know whether il is to be strictly
sermon, simply a discours. He says eff it
were to be, properly speaking, sermon, would
take occasion to present the constitution and
character of the Catholic Church. just it is.
without any remarks comparison that might
be invidous or offensive to persons of other de-
nominations. l think. however, that if you will
accept of DISCOURSE which ought not to be called
a Scr"tOn would, in my address, call your atten-
ton to The importance of indiudu0L und heartfelt
loyalty to re constitution and ta,oS Of ones country
In reply the committee states that discourse,
such as proposed, upon the latter subject mention
ed by the Bishop, would not be in accordance
with the usage of the University. They desire
him to preach their 8" Commencement or Bacca-
laureate Sermon on any religious subject, that
he may select. The class. however, begs leave
to suggest that doctrinal sermons are not custom
ary on that occasion To this, in conclusion the
Bis p ans" v.~, that he shall endeavor to preach
theiI Commencement sermon in the spirit which
their interesting letter has indicated.
We have noticed this matter at lengh becaus it
has been much talked about and many people
want to know how it is.
1t will be seen that the contents of this num-
Der of the Magazine quite able and interesting.

A NEW WAY TO DETECT DISHONEST CoNDUC
ToRs.-The Chicago Times has the following in
regard to an infamous system adopted by some
of the railroads leading out of that city:
1t may not be known to the many excellent
men officiating conductors upon the railroads
running oat of Chicago, that well dressed seiuc-
tive looking female is employed by a detective
as,nncy to take items against them She proceeds
in this way: she takes her seat in the cars, and,
being asked for her ticket she says she had her
pocket picked. and has neither money nor ticket.
If the conductor sympathises with her, many
an honest well feeling conductor would, she makes
a note of the circumstance. gets the conductors
name, takes dates, &C., and duly reports to head
quarters and from there the news goes to the S1-
perintendent OF the road, and of course operates
to the conductors disadvantage.

had been RUNNING between Newbern and Wash

be regretted but it is the fate, generally, in ali
pioneer attempts at steamboat and railroad com
1nunication. I he projectors realize nothing but
disappointment and regret for their arduous labors
and liberal investments while it is left for others,
who commence where their predecessors left off,
to realize the consummation of their hopes and
large dividends.
The withdrawal of this boat is to be regretted,
not only by the people of Hyde, who were SO gem
erous in their efforts establish it, but it is to be
regretted by the people of Washington and New
bern whose mutual interests certainly would have
been promoted by the continuance of this steam
boat communication. But let not despair en-
tirey-something may yet be DONE We have
heard some suggestions and propositions from a
very practical and not over sanguine that
lead us to hope that something may yet be ac-
complished Our own opinion (not worth much
CT course) is that, if the boat could be purchased
and overhauIed and fitted for continued service
by a company who would secure practical AL
energetic management with a view to increased
freight and passenger business and so arrange
the schedule that the boat could make the time
from Newbern to Washington in I2 hours, touch
ing at one point in Hyde county, and make one
or two round trips week. the line would not on y
be self-sustaining but would pay something above
Running thus, either once or twice week. a mail
could not be refused, and that in connection with
the increased freight and passenger business
which such a schedule would certainly command,
the project could not fail
Our friends in Hyde are the greatest sufferers
by the discontinuance, for they are not only de-
prived of mail facilities but if they wish to leave
home to travel any considerable distance they
must their own conveyances and drudge to
Newbern or Washington before they get
either Railroad or Stage accommodation. We
hope for their sake the enterprise will not be
tircIy Abandoned but that the matter will be
calmly and practically considered by the people
of Hyde and the citizens of the two towns, Wash
ington and Newbcrn, whether they can dispense
with a communication desirable not
