Anecdotes OF the Days Of King
GEORGE ILL.

There has recently been published
in England a volume entitled, "RecoI-
ltctions Of the Early years of the
Present Century" by the honorable
Amelia Murray, who was lady-in>
waiting to the daughters of George
III, early in the present century. A
London correspondent of a New York
paper furnishes the following extracts
which will be read with interest and
are new, the book not having been
reprinted in this country,
Tue WIFE OF GEORGE ".
Of Queen Caroline a fresh and
characteristic story is told. Lady
Murrays brother was among some
young men waO helped to give her an
ovation at the opera. A few days
atterward he went to a place near
Woolwioh. There he saw the prin
cess in a gorgeous dress, which was
loOped up to show her Eetticoat, Gov
cred with stars, with silver wings on
her shoulders, sitting under a tree,
with a pot Of porter or her knee and
as fnal to the gaiety, she had the
doors opened of every room in the
house, and selecting a partner gallop-
ed through them, desiring all the
guests to follow her example.

rs HER HEART NO LONGER MINE
By FRANK LEE.


In the fearful month of April,
When the lilly raised its head
And the soft delicious breezes r..I
Kissed it as they onward sped .-
Meath the shadow of the oak tree,
On the misty mountain side,
. Vows were phghted, and our spirits
Poured of love golden tide. r
Spring departed. Summer faded,
And the Autumn's chilly blast
fastened onward wintry letters
Der the sleeping earth were cast
Still oar love sun, all unclouded,
Beamed upon the happy way,
And we felt its rays Of sweetness
t.8 Warm our fond hearts day by day,
But when Spring again came smiling.
Cruel hands loves bright chain broke
And each young enchanted dreamer,
From the blissful vision woke; @
Woke to see each sweet hope perish;
Woke to silent grief and pain; -
Woke to tread in other pathways,
And be happy again
Thou wilt go upon ife's journey ' .
Girt with beauty aud with pride;
Wealth and genius, love and friendship
Still will linger BY thy side.
Yet though !. fame's light pursuing,
Strive the dead past to resign, -Y
l must oft in sorrow murmur,
"Is her heart no longer mine"
In the silent hours of darkness,
When the monday sun is bright,
This sad echo still shall haunt me,
Chase all other thoughts to fight p
And though from the sun of glory,
Brightest rays around me shine
All its CLEANS will be but darkness,
When her hearts no longer mine

A few years since near the city Of

stand that sort of thing, so he started
after the fast order, in good earnest.
The jolting of the wagon at length
Jared the head completely off the
barrel, and the strong wind which
was blowing directly after the parson,
blew the flower all over him aud the
horse. At last the fast young man
was left and the village reached; but
the speed of his horse was not check

In driving through the street to
reach his home, he came in contact
with one of his deaeons, who was
naturally surprised to see his minis

Every taxpayer in the State is interested in the

u. s. Senators.

On Tuesday last the Legislature elected John Pool
and Gen. J. c. Abbott to represent North Carolina in
the q. s. Senate-the former for the long term and
113, Abbott 104, VIM. A. Graham 81, NJ E. Manly
70, Bedford Brown l, n. Boyden l.
Gen. Abbott who has been resident of this State
but short time, is the man who opposed the removal
of the disabilities of the old native citizens and tax
payers. We are opposed to man ON account of
his birth place, but when a mere adyenturer comes
into the State and not only claims the prominent
Offices but insists the prescription Of native cit
we do not hesitate to say that such conduct
be regarded in no other light than impudent, shame
ful and disgraceful. There are Northern who
have come to reside in the State since the war, who
command and entitled to respect and confidence,
but such characters Abbott neither deserve
should receive respect. We cannot respect a North
ern RAN who insists prescribing and degrading
our white native citizens
We don't allude to this matter as partizan or in
the interest o. any party, but native North
Carolinian who expects to live and die in North
Carolina, profess against being represented in the
U. S. Senate by 1ureign enemy and vindictive,
revengeful man.
We have personal feeling against Gen. Abbott,
and merely design denouncing his political conduct
and exposing his great impuIence and ungenerous
conduct: Contrast Abbotts course with that of the
Northern Governor Of South Carolina, Gen. Scott,
who has shown a. most commendab'e disposition
assuming the duties of his Office Ee not only re-
commends the removal of disabilities from every
citizen but declares against prescription o any
whatever. For such n Northern man Gen Scott
we can entertain some feeling Of respect.

[ Correspondence Of the Western Democrat
PINEvILLE, n. c., July 4, 1868.


Mr.. EDITOR Allow me to state, through
your columns, how this memorable day was spent
in our little village. As per agreement the Sab
bath Schools of Hebron, Harrison and fineviile
Churches, assembled at this place to commemor-
ate the day. Rev. Mr.. Slough opened the exer-
cises with prayer, when the Rev MIR. Meynardie
addressed the audience with a speech which was
instructive to all, both old and young, and which
was highly appreciated.
The Academy was suitably decorated for the
occasion, but the crowd was so great that it would
not accommodate half of the persons, conse-
quently the seats were moved out in the grove
and hasty platform erected for the speaker
IT'S unnecessary to speak of the ability of the
Rev. Mr. Meynardie as a minister and orator,
but his discourse on this occasion was sublime.
Morality and christianity were his augumentative
points and his discussion was SO plain and en-
phatic that the mere child could not fail to com
prehend The audience was large and very at
tentive not whisper nor a cry from any Of the
numerous little folks disturbed the orator. beau
tiful flow of language
At the conclusion Of the speaking the pupils
Of the Sabbath Schools, with the entire audience,
marched to a neighboring grove where sump-
tuous dinner had been provided, and all joined
in the repast After dinner, the time was
pleasantly spent in conversation among the elder,
while the little ones enjoyed their sports until
the time approached for parting, when all bid
adieu. wishing that it might so happen that they
could meet again under as pleasant auspices.
