HAPPY WOMEN

A happy woman! is she not the very sparkle
and sunshine of life? A woman who is happy
because she can't help it-whose smiles even the
coolest sprinkling of misfortune cannot dampen.
Men make terrible mistake when they marry Tor
beauty or for talent, or for style; the sweetest
wives are those who possess the magic secret OF
being happy under every circumstance Rich or
peor. high or low, it makes no difference, the
bright fountain of Joy bubbles up just as must
caly in their hearts. Do they live in log cabin?
the freight, that looms up its humble hearth
becomes brighter than the gilded chandeliers in an
Aladdin paacel Do they eat brown bread, and
drink cold water from the weH it affords them
more satisfaction than the millionares pate de fol
and iced champagne Nothing ever goes wrong
with them-no trouble is too serious for them ''to
make the best Of it, Was ever calamity 50 dark
and deep that the sunlight of a happy face falling
across its turb;d tide, would not wake answered
CLEAN Why, then, joyous tempered people don
know half the good they do. No matter how
cross and grabbed you feel, Mr.. Grumbler, no
matter if your brains are hacked full of medita-
siun on "aflicting dispcnsations,' and your
stomach with medicines, pills and tOnics; just set
one Of these CHEEKY ittc women talking to you,
and wc are not afraid to wager anything she can
cure you. The long drawn lines about the mouth
will relax the cloud o. settled gloom will vanish,
and nobody knows when, and the FIST you know,
you Will be IaughIngl Why! That Is another
thing, we more tell you why you smile in
voluntarily to listen to the first blue bird of the
feason among the maple blossoms, or to meet a
knot Of yeoW;-eycd dandelions in the crack of a
pave-stone. We only know that it is So
Oh these happy women. how often their sen-
der shoulders bear the weight of burdens that
would smte TO the ground. how often their
little hands guide the poEderous machinery of life
with an invisible touch; how we look forward
through the weary day to their freside smiles,
how often their cheerful eyes see coleqtr de rose
where We only bcheld thunder-charged Clouds.
No one knows no one will ever know, until the
day Of judgment, how much we owe to these
hopeful accomplishing women

most useful aud indispensable article in every
household. But, unfortunately, in consequence Of
the blockade Of our ports, they have become very
scarce and very high. We must, therefore, be-

IN no other article of trade have 50 much extrava-
gance and carelessness been visible as in the use

RALEIGH. Anril 10. 1862.

Mr. DEAR SIR:-lTy attention has been called
more frequently to places called cattle and deer
hicks than to any other subject. They occur
everywhere both in mountains and low regions of
country. There are many kinds The most com
exhibit efioresces Of common salt with
magncsia salt, sulphates of alumina and iron, and
snl phate Of magncsia iutcrmiXed with sulp hate Of
lime. In granite and slate region, OF what is
usually called primary, the licks contain only the
sulphates of iron and aumina, without particle
of COMMON salt. These salts are derived from
iron pyrites in a deconlposiug rock and this kind
is probably the most common, and occur al over
the country, except the regions Of this State
known as the Chatham an1 Dan River CoaIfelds
Now, wherever We have rocks deposited or formed
under sca-water, the clements Of common salt are
found to exist, and those rocks which are subject
to decomposition produce common salt at and
upon the surface 1t results from the foregoing
fact, that the brackish wells all through the sand
stone region alluded to, are produced by superb
eial dccOmpositions Of gock containing a small
proportion Of salt | have found the salt to
amount to 225 grains in q shallow we'll Boring
IN the same we'll to the depth of 100 feet the Wa
ter contained l6O grains only to the gallon All
the facts go to show that the salt is specifically
formed, and that there is probability Of sue
ceedlng IN obtaining stronger water by sinking
wells. understand from Prof Phillips of Chapel
Hill, that the late Professor Mitchell held to the
opinion have just expressed, viz: that all those
spots called lcks are superficial and do not furnish
indications OF the existence of valuable sallnes
No money should be expended in exploring these
icks-the parts are all upon the surface. AS
