"Gentle queen" murmured she, 81 have
fingered to-day, rs ever, amid scenes of sad
ness; but nov | left the cot where a mother
wept over her dead boy, her darling one, ca-
ressing his golden curles in her wild grief
Softly | whispered to her heart, "This is but
a frail remembrancer of thy child, his shad-
owless spirit hath gone TO the Highlands
above" AS she lifted her saddened eyes, the
tears were already dried in the sun rays that
streamed from the home OF her boy, now her
angel child"
Again the queen uttered words which my
untaught ear could not catch, and the sweet
fairy of Tears gave place to another, who
thus told her mission of love:
To-day sought a beautiful garden where
two children were playing; the sad face and
dark garments of the one told of orphanage,
and contrasted painfully with the laughing,
happy face of her companion. In a moment
of rest, memory touched a chord in the heart
Of the lone orphan, and a tear glistened in
her eye. Softly | spoke to her playmate, of
sympathy and its strong, deep power to cheer
the sorrowing heart. As her arms encircled
the stricken one, and the wealth of her heart
was lavished upon her, | deemed my words
of some avail"
The fairy Of Gentle Words retreated, and
the queen moving her magical wand, the air
was again filled with the r~ustling hum and
murmur, as before, and the fairies hied them
away. Then with sweetest voice the SOW
ereign Of the spirits %murmured, mortal, thou
hast heard of the fairies missions, and now,
Of their gifts one may be thine-which hast
thou chosen?" Softly whispered, 90 fair
est and gentlest of queens, | would that
might combine all in one-the power OF ma
king others happy-and never, never forge
the teachings of the kind and loving fairies
1T is thine" was her gracious response, anC
then bidding me a silyery farewell, the pc
tails of the blu bell tremblingly opened, ant
as the fairy queen sank into its perfumeC
bosom, | awoke with the abiding memory O
my dream. The royal gilt has since proven
to me a gift indeed.

The MYSTERIOUS NEwsBoY.-About the
year 1856, a ~bright-eyed, intelligent, deli
cate, and rather effemiuate looking lad, who
gave his name as Newsom, made application
and obtained employment at the Crescent Of
fee as a ~sub-newspaper carrier. He was then
about IA years of age, very modest and re-
served, but ever prompt and faithful, and
gradually earned the reputation of being the
best carrier in the Office of this journal.
Newsom "a good name for a c~arrier) be.
came well known to all his fellow-carriers,
and from his uniform good department, won
their respect and esteem, while his reserve
prevented all familiarity. For three years he
made the daily rounds of his route, through
the cold rude blasts Of winters early morn
ings and the pitiless pelting storms, without
a murmur, and ever looking bright, and
cheerful. In the latter part Of 1858, New
som suddenly disappeared, much to the re-
greet of his fellows, and especially to that OF
his employers. He gave no intimation Of
his future course, as to where he was going,
or what pursuit he intended hereafter to fol-
low.
Times dark 4sullen shadow of departing
years soon stole by, and Newsom became
forgotten in the busy whirlpool of this
ids affairs. Some days ago there wa:
sweetly dreSseu~aarch of a pretty cottage
twenty summers, whose ~~nineteen an(
rounded figure and smiling face was orirael
u picture of happiness. Seated near he
was-not Newsom, but somebody else. f.
Newsom was the identical lady herself! An
thus is explained the true, but romantic hi,
tory of the mysterious newsboy

Notwithstanding the lack of encourage
ment that our State Agricultural Periodical
has received during the three years of it's
publIcatlon-notwithstandiBg it has FAILED

DUCED RATES.

Agriculturists nfthe State, as a work worthy
OF their p~atronage-not only on the score
of Its being a home journal, (Which should.
OF course, have its weight and influence on
all patriotic sons of the old North State. J but
also on account of its intrinsic excellence.
We now issue it in a new form, and send a copy
of it, together with this Prospectus, to our
present subscribers and to many who are not
subscribers, earnestly requesting ALL who
receive a copy. to get up a list of subscribers
on the following
TERMS:
