NATURES CHAPEL-We have always had
an indistinct impression that waterfall was
place of worship-something in its purity,
its descent like a veil of light before an altar,
its voluntary of impressive music, and its
usual surrounding architecture of rocks and
trees, which marked it as the locality in Ma
.ture where the heart would he easiest promp-
ted to devotion. We thought it more new
than unaccountable, therefore, when We read
in paper Of last week that young couple
of Minneapolis chose the falls of Minneha-
ha as the altar at which they would be mar
ried. The ceremony took place in the open
air, with the sky for roof and the water
fall playing an accompaniment of sweet
music.-Home Journal.

A LUXURIOUS CoUcH.-Beggars swarm in
China, and their king lives at Pekin They
die by the roadside and are forgotten At
Pekin there is a large house, called q The
House of the Hens Feathers" Here the
floor of an immense hall is strewn three feet
thick with feathers and into this wallowing
sea OF down at certain hour all houseless
vagabonds who apply for shelter are turned.
At beat of the tam-tam an immense tar
pauling counterpane comes down unfurling
from the ceiling, and spreads over them all,
like the wings of a fabulous roe Matching a
nestfull of eggs. The next morning, at a
similar beat, it is drawn up, and the vaga-
bonds disperse to show their sores and COL

AMorHER,s POEM.

Julia Branch, the strong minded advocate of wo
mans rights is the author of the following lines
My little boy is sleeping. Strless now
Are the bare feet, quick and restless lately
And the blue eyes beneath his thoughtful brow
Are closed seiately.
One hand lies hid among the locks that float,
In careless grace upon the yielding pillows;
The other on his breast rides like boat
On summer pillows
About the couch, where they his waking bide
His whilom playthings lie in confusion;
And underneath the shoes he thought to hide
In safe seclusion.
He calmly sleeps. The wind moans at the door,
And in the room the firelights' fitful cleaning
Makes pleasant shadows on the crimson floor
sit adreaming.
see afar the yeiled, uncertain land,
That in the future waits his mani ood's coming,
And strive to dissipate, with loves strong hand;
Its mists benumbng.
And is he of that race Of laurelled kings
The wearers OF the purpel of the Poet!
Or like the heroes whom the Poet singsl
His life will show it.
And if he be soul from falsehood free,
Though he should wear no laurel, sing no story;
10 bear his part with honest men shall be
Enough of glory,

AGRICULTURE IN JAPAN.-The recent visi-
tors to this heretofore undescribed land say
that anything like a plain, or a meadow, lin
the American sense of the words is utterly
unknown there, yet every practicable foot of
land is highly cultivated. The narrow strip
of interval between the banks of the nu-
merous coves which border the shore and
the mountain sides, is cultivated in garde rs
or planted with fruit trees. From these rise
terraces, the rocks being dug out of the
earth and placed in walls by the mere strength
of human bone and muscle, and then the
earth leveled down, and the small patch or
plot constructed, every inch of which is to
pay its semi-annual tribute to the cultivator

A PERFECT MAN.--The man deserving the
name, is one whose thoughts and exertions
are for Others rather than for himself I:
whose high purpose is adopted on just prin-
ciples, and never abandoned while heaven
or earth afford means of accomplishing it.
He is one who will neither seek an indirect
advantage by specious word, nor take an
evil path to secure real good purpose.
Such man were one for whom a woman's
heart should beat constant while he breathes
and break when he dies-Scott

ofsober, hard fsted people from the western

Board to settle the accounts of John G. McRae &

he was not consulted by any member of the COM

The Recisterss Candidate.


The Register is out in the most enthusiastic terms
for Mr.. Sanders, the Opposition" candidate for
Congress. That paper Of Wednesday last says:
"In conclusion we call upon the Oppostionists
of the District to rally like one man to Mr.. Sanders
support. On single particular protection he
differs from them, but as to the enormties of Mr..
8uchanan's Admin tration, and his diabolical Thirty
Million Bill. he is with us heart and soul. For our
self We shall give him an earnest and honest sup
port"
Mr.. Sanders differs from the Know Nothings "on
singular particular" only! Is that true? The
Register says it is. What says Mr.. Sanders? -
Again, Mr. Sanders is against "protecton," and
the Register is for it. The Register, then, is for
protecting Northern manufacturers at the expense
of Southern farmers, Southern consumers, and
Southern industry.
But the Register seeks to evade most important
difference between itself and Mr. Sanders. Mr. San
ders is opposed to distribution least that is the
position which he says he occupies but the Regis
ter is notoriously for distribution. What do you
say to that, Mr.. Symc? Is not that another sin
gle particular" on which Mr.. Sanders differs from

The STATES SUBSCRIPTION TO THE New BANK
1t will be recolected that the charter of the Bank

subscribe 100000 in stock for the Literary Fund
and to pledge, if necessary the stock now held bv
the State in the Bank of the State of North Caro-
lima, to raise the specie to make payments on the
stock thus subscribed. The Treasurer recently Wis
tied the City of New York, for the purpose of max
ing loan on the basis of the stock referred to {;
and we are gratifed to learn that he has made the
most satisfactory and advantageous arrangements
for raising the specie. We understand that he has
contracted with Bank in that City for loan of
S250O00 in specie, at the rate of 81 per cent The
legal rate of interest in New York is per cent.
This business transaction speaks for itself 1t is
creditable to the Treasurer and affords at the same
time another proof if such proof were necessary,
of the soundness of the old State Bank, and of the
high character for promptitude and integrity which
North Carolina sustains in the great commercial and
financial centre of the Union.
