Sayings Of Josh Billings.

This droll philosopher, though occasionally
a little tiresome, certainly says a great many
shrewd and piquant things. We append a
few specimens:
The prinsiple diffurents between luxury
and necessary is, the prise.
Wize men don't expeck to do away with the
visisstoods ov life, they onla expeck tew blunt
the edge of them.
Gravity is often mistaken for wisdom, but
thare IL as much dipherents Us thare IL be-
tween glide board and the man who made it.
Honesta is the best policy, but don't take
my wuTd for it, tri it.
Ginowine proverbs air like good kambrlck
needles-short, sharp and shiny
A man running for offs puts me in mind ov
dog that's lost-he smells ov everybody he
meets, and wags hisself all over.
Most oy the advise we reserve from others il
not so much an evidence OF their affeckshun
for us, az it liz an evidence of their affeckshun
or themselves.
If yew want ter git q sure crop, and big
yield for the seed, sow wild oats.
What man spends in this life, he saves !:
what he don't get want ment for him, and
what he saves, he loozes.
When teller gifts goin down hill, it duz
seem as tho every thing had bin creased for
the okkashnn.
N If there was nothing but truth iu this wurId
phool would stand just as good a chance az
wize man.
Rise arly, work hard and late, live on what
yew kant SELL give nothing ava, and if yew
don't die ritch and go to the devil, yu may
500 me for damages N. B.-The above re-
marks are not intended to be personal.
We are apt tew hate them who won't take
our advise and dispize them who du.
1t IL dredful cay to be a phool-a man kan
be one and not no it.
Real happiness don't consist so mulch in
what man don't hav, as it duz in what he

Large bodies move slo"-this ere proverb

Marin tor love may be little risky, but it is
so honest that God kant help but smile on it.
Thare are CRATE multitool ov individuals

Our good old State has often been repre-
sented in national Conventions, but, some
how or other, she is not estimated as she
should be. The delegates reach the place
selected either too early or too late, in many
instances; and it always happens that the
name of some delegate, not without consid-
cradle reputation at home, is so altered or
misspelt in the proceedings as to leave the
son has taken on himself the grave response
bility of representing our people. For ex-
ample, in the late Philadelphia Convention,
our respected and most respectable and loyal
friend, the Hon. Nathaniel Boyden, is per-
sistenly put down in the proceedings as A.
Voooden. We find even the Petersburg Er-
press. which prides itself on its North Caro-
lima connections, making this absurd mis-
take. The Cypress owes it to our State and
to Mr.. Boyden to correct this mistake. Vir-
ginia is all right, West Virginia is all right,
South Carolina is all right-the names of
committee from those States are cor
rectly printed; but North Carolina is always
sure to he wrong, as on this occasion We
protest against it. Mr.. Boyden, we are sure,
does not care any thing about it,: but then
his friends do. They do not like to see him
paraded over the whole country as one 4.

of the delegates from North Carolina.
