We read the following; years ago. in our much
thumbed copy of old Herbet, and it has been bur
led long enough in our memory to come up again
Sundays observe; think, when tho bells do chime,
IT'S angels music therefore not late.
God there deals blessings if king did so,
Who would not haste, nay give, to see the show.
In time of service seal up both thine eyes,
And send them to thy heart, that spying sin,
They may weep out the stains thy sin did rise
Those doors being shut, all by the ears comes in
Let vain and busy thoughts have there no part,
Christ purged His temple so must thou thy heart
He that loves Gods abode and so combine
With saints earth, shall day with them shine.

Inducements to Immigration.

A New York journal, which has exhibited a
friendly desire to assist the South in the introduce
ton of immigrants, says that we make serious
mistake in our plans for the introduction of la
borers from Europe when we expect them to work
by the year. 1t is probable that labor Will arrange
itself here as it did in the West When that Sec
ton was thinly populated, it for years almost
impossible to hire farm laborers by the year, or

Chatham Railroad.

A meeting of the stockholders of the Chatham
Railroad Company held on the LIST Of
February. It was resolved to scale the ca ita
stock to the actual value of the work $2OO OOO and
invite subscriptions
We learn that the prospects of finishing the
road from the North Carolina Railroad, at Cary
to Lockville, on Deep river, are very good.
Kemp p. Battle, Esq, has resigned the position
of President of the Chatham Railroad Company,
and of Director, and Gen. w. r Cox, of Raleigh
has been elected President to fill the vacancy.
WE read in the Dispatch yesterday morning, a
letter from Mrs. Stonewall Jackson, to the editor
of the Charleston Neocs in which she says:
"While it is one of the greatest comforts of my
desolated life to the many beautiful and elo-
quent tributes to the memory of my beloved hus-
band, and would gratefully accept any offerings
that voluntarily given testimonials 0fIOre ana
gratitude to him. yet the contributions that are now
called for, are given under false IMPRESSION and
it is inconsistent with my ideas of honor and rec
titude to receive them"
Words worthy the utterance of Southern mat
ron and comforting bertting grace upon the fe-
males of the house of Graham.
We have never believed Mrs. Jackson sanction
ed the demonstrations recently made in her be-
half and have therefore refrained from dragging
her before the public. She doubtless appreciated
the motive which impelled tie actors in her heart
of hearts, while her womany instincts shrunk from
the exposure.

"GOT THE BLUES"

How often do we hear this complaint made
The reason generally ascribed is that some
thing has gone wrong, but if you will question
the patient in regard to health, habits, &c,
you will very often find that indigestion is the
prime cause the intimacy of the brain and
stomach is very close, and nothing so sours
the feelings and disposition as dyspepsia. It
is a singular fact that most suicides are dys-
peptics. If our nourishment is properly di-
gested, the brain is free and unoppressed, and
will solve our troubles, pointing out sunshine
ahead and incllning US to look on the bright
side of life thus is it our duty to guard
against this monster-iDdigestion we
know of nothing so potent to assist digestion
as Goes Dyspepsia Cure. 1t has cured some
very bad cases of dyspepsia of even ten or
fifteen years standing.
