CHEWING TOBACCO,

Important Improvement
In putting up
FINE CUT CHEWING TOBACCO,
has been adopted by Messrs. Z. GOODWIN &
BRO, of New York CRY.
TOBACCO, of the BEST QUALITY, is Sc
lected, neatly wrapped in TIN FOIL, and PA
TENT PRESSED.
The great advantages of this over other
brands consist in the size Of the packages,
rendering it more convenient TO carry in the
pocket, and being PRESSED SOLID it keeps
MOIST and FRESH, and improves in quality
rs it is used while in other brands, as soon
the package is opened the quality rapidly DE-
TERIORATES-the tobacco growing dry
and littering the pocket to the great annoy
ance Of the consumer. The Dressing which
which the Fine Cut Tobacco undergoes in the
process of manufacture, frees it from all grit
or impurities so Objectionable in the use of
Plug Tobacco. Chewers will do well to give
the Patent Pressed a trial, and Judge for them
selves.
For sale by II. WESTCOTT & Co., who re-
ceiye it direct from the Manufacturers.

DULL CHILDREN.-The teacher of large
school had little girl under her care, who was ex-
ceedingly backward in her lessons. She was at
the bottom of the class, and seemed to care but
little about what passed in it. During the school
hours singing was sometimes employed as reaxa-
ton, and noticing that this girl had very clear,
sweet voice. her teacher said to her:
"Jane, you have good voice, and you may lead
in the singing"
She Frightened up, and from that time her mind
seemed more active. Her lessons were attended
to, and she made steady progress. One day, as
the teacher was going home she overlook Jane
and one of her school-fellows.
"Well, Jane" said she, 'you getting on
very we'll at school, how is it that you do so much
better now than you did at the beginning of the
half year?'
81 do not know why it is" replied Jane.
"I know what she told me the other day." said
her companion, who was with her.
"And what was that ?" asked the teacher.
s'Why, she said she was encouraged"
Yes there was the secret-she was encouraged.
She felt she wa, not dull in every thing; she had
learned self-respect, and thus she was encouraged
to self-imprOvement.
Take the hint, dear fellow teacher, and try to
read the intelligent through the heart Endeavor
to draw out the dormant faculties of your children
by discriminating culture and we'll timed praise.

THERE'S JOY FOR YOU AND ME.
BY Lillian.
The sunlight glids the mountain,
And CLOVIS upon the plain;
The tall corn undulating plays
Before the breeze again;
The hedges are bespeared with blooms
Most beautiful to see;
There's life and love in everything,
And joy for you and me.
Come from the chamber-let us seek
Some quiet sylvan nook,
Where We may undisturbed pursue
Sweet Natures mystic book;
Where, holding silent intercourse
With bird, and flower, and tree,
Our fancy's bark may glide adown
The stream of Poesy.
Come forth, and leaning on my arm,
A gentle stroll we'll take,
Where fox-gloves hang their string of bells
Among the forest brake,
Where linnet, lark and blackbird flood
The air with minstrelsy;
There's life and love in everything,
And joy for you and me.

PO e II I q a IL.
From the N. C. Christian Advocate.
WHEN ARE WE HAPPIEST P

When the early light of morn
Wakes the roses from their rest,
When cheerful sounds, by fresh winds borne,
Tell mans at work with blither zest-
When streamlets leap from rock to glen,
We cannot say, we're happiest then.
Alasl those roses fade away
And tcmpests dark deform the sky
The tender spring-buds will decay
And all that's fair in earth must die
The truth comes home to us again,
We cannot say we're happiest then.
Nor when in crowded court and hall
Where fatterers bend the knee
These are pleasures that sooE fall,
Here falsehood's gilded colorings flee
Its poisoned fowerets sting with care,
We cannot say we're happiest then.
When the Joyous, bright home hearth
Is circled round with living flowers
And the laugh of harmless mirth
Breaks the quiet of nights hours
When loving friends our path surround,
We cannot say, that bliss we've found.
All, no. For weary care worn years
Will give those brows tinge of gloom
Those sparkling eyes will dim with tears
And close at last beneath the tomb
Oh, happiness! How soon it's gone
If sought in earthly things alone.
But when we feel ourselves resigned
To all our cup of life may brim-
And trust alone in God, to find
Those purer joys that flow from Him
When faith brings heaven within our ken
Oh, we can say we're happiest then.
