The KIND LITTLE GIKL.-A very poor man had a
very good little girl She had fat chubby, sweet face,
and her cheeks looked like peaches when they ripe
Her hair hung in ringets all over her head, and some
rich fathers would have made her look like fairy with
nice dresses and costly trnkets But Luus father
poor and her clothes on decent but she, sweet
girl kind and good which is better than to be rich
Riches have spoiled great many little girls but Lulu
had no chance to be spoiled in this way.
One day she saw lame old man going by, wretched-
Iy clad, with pack his back. Lulu thought he must
be cold hungry need something to make him
Portable out she ran, without saying anything to her
mother, and soon overlook the stranger.
Man !" said she, my father always gives poor folks
something to eat; won't you come back and get some
bread ?"
The old man turned about as if he were surprised
Perhaps he thought bird of Paradise had just dropped
down there and was singing. He was unused to such
SOFT sweet voices as that and then her message SO
kind and good
Lulu thought the old man did not understand her be-
he stood and gazed upon her in silence So she
said again,
"My father always gives poor folks something to eat
Won't you 60 back with me and get some bread?"
The old man smiled-he could not help it. If he had
felt cross, doubt the cross could have kept down
that smile He turned about, and Lula took his hand
and led him to the house. What do you suppose her
mother thought when she her daughter leading in
that raggedIstranger?
Here, mother" said Lulu, is a poor lame man who
is hungry, won't you give him some bread ?" HeI
mother looked pleased and FASTENED to feed the stranger
while Lulu set him chair close by the fire. and viewed
him from head to foot if she thought he Laza
rus, as poor and good.
We need not tell you how long he stayed, what
he said about Lulu when he went away. We are more
concerned to know What our young readers will think
and say about this kind little girl. Was it not beau

EXCESSIVE CLEANLINEss-Even cleanliness can be
exaggerated as in the case of the Pharsees and the
late Duke Of Queenbury who would wash in nothing but
milk Our own Queen distilled water only for hen
toilet; but this is not in point since it is for the
sake of her health, believe, with her, sad case how
ever, was that of the lovely Princess Alexandriana of
gan by extreme scrupuousness. At dinner she
would infinitely examine her plate, and if she saw
the slightest speck on it, would send for another
She would then turn the napkin round and round
to examine every corner and often rise from the table
because she thought she not served properly in this
respect. At last it became monomania till, on plates,
napkins Dishes tablecloh and everything else she be-
lieved she saw nothing but dirt. 1t weighed on her
mind poor thing she could not be clean enough and
it drove her into insanity.

,T]hY Sh Ins an nr y A4os ,,i,oa of So,

UAahfhed an extensive piece of iugglery
which has lately been set forth by opposition cotem-
porary and is aughabe piece Of argument considering
that its author is reputed to be sensible:
Without those facilities (railroads) it is perectv
manifest that slaves could not have been retained in the
interior OF North Carolina Except the number requisite
for domestic purposes in the face of the enormous pri
ces elsewhere That they have been retained and even
largely Increased, is in material degree owing to the
internal improvements for which the taxes are to nav
AND IS there any reason why slaves should not pay
portion OF the debt which has helped to double their
UaLue in the market?"
We have never before been able to imagine that slave
property increased in value by internal improve
ments, or the building of Railroads. The thing is an
absurdlty The demand for the products Of slave labor
abroad and the increase OF the consumption of such
ducts is manesty the of the increase Of negros
value. We have here, striking example of this in our
own county-separated from the rest OF humanity by
length of territory on one sde of co. and the other
by some so miles. We have until the last year
or two been blessed with railroad and yet the price oil
negroes increased the less.
10 say that negro property is increased because Of
railroad facilities is simply absurdity, and though
not intended, will certainly lead the people to
bellve lie Railroad improvements have had no more
favorable effect in the increase of the value of negroes
than our old cap What negroes worth in this State!
Does any one presume to say that they worth the
price at which they held If he does he is certainly
egregiousy in The price of negroes governed
in other States makes them valuable North Carolina
They are really one Of our own staple products much
as is cotton or turpentlne and should readily
tax the planter for the amount Of cotton Annually
raised upon his plantation would the negro which
he raises AS to the value fnegroes in North Carolina
it is plain that they do not in fact up to thel
market value else why are so many North Carolina ne
groes sent to Mississippi and Alabama from this State
to hire? Certainly, because slave labor is not profit
able in this as in other States Does the nonsavehodel
expect to have his taxes essened by this Why
the thing is plain that they will be increased NJ
would they accomplish their aim in taxing slaves
than new projects of internal improvements would b.
opened up and the debt of the State increased twood

STORY OF SHOE BUCKLE.-A recent notice of James
T. Woodbury's name in connection with temperance
anecdote brought to mind, among other things, a
certain pair OF these odashOned shoebuckes, OF which
tempted to speak.
Mr. Woodbury. in connection with Daniel Webster,
had procured from Congress pension for the Widow
Leighton, the aged rect of Captain Isaac Davis, who
fell at the head of the Action "Minute-men at the
Old North Bridge in Concord, Massachusetts, In the
first armed resistance made to British oppression In
America. Mrs. Leighton would insist that Mr. w ood-
bury should receive sort of pay for his efforts
her account. Resisting however, any such idea but
disposed to humor her wish, be finally said to her, that
" if she had anything of Davss which he could put
among his collection of mementOs of the Revolution, be
would he most happy to receive it.. She arose. totter-
ed to an old chest and took from the bottom OF it
pair of shoe-buckles These said she, have sacred
y kept from the day they taken from my husbands
feet, the 18th day of April, TITS They are the only
article of his which have retained. Though | meant
never to part with them, glad to give them now
you That appearance of rust on them is Mr. Davis
blood They were despatched with it as 1t spouteC
from his heart through which, you know, be was shot
at the Old North Bridge, They have never been wiped
since.
She could say no more. That they both wiped their
tears for the unwped buckles need not add possibly
you may be doing the same thing. How important of
ten in the connections of history accidents appar
| rently the most trivial?
| When, some seven years ago, MIR. Woodbury. was
pleading in the legislature of Massachusetts for aid tt
build the " Acton Monument land many of the mem
bers with peace principles to think it wrong ever
to commemorate the battles of the Revoluon-and b.
likely to fail in his object through the general oppo
stion he sent to the speakers desk these shoe buckles
stating their history at the time and requesting
the speaker to take them in his hands. The touch
them sir, will do you good. They have an eloquenc
that be felt. Circulate them now if you please, sir
through the house. 1t will do the peace men, good al
So to touch them. There is patriotic blood on them
sir, and virtue in them to stir the patriotic blood
there be any, in every gentlemans heart wish then
to circulate sir, and will say no Like the poor
dumb mouths Of Casars's wounds bid them speal
for me-
If the spirit of '76 had been discharged the house
like galvanism from battery, the effect could not hav
been thrilling. The peace men said, You ar
wrong Mr.. Woodbury. but shall vote the appropra
tion, notwithstanding" They did SO, and the mouu
