Time as an Artist.


We clip the following beautiful ex-
tract from one of GEO. G. GINrY's very
racy and readable letters published in the
State Register. As pen painter we
believe be excells Old Time himself:
A rare old artist is TINE. as he goes
along on his successful career. Poets and
dreamers may call him tomb builder
may sing Of his skill in constructing the
sarcophagus where youth and beauty
slumber side by side--but they err
That the old fellow is architect enough
to plan tomb, is possible. A jeweer
may hoe his potato patch, without being
a Fenian. And Time can vary his occu-
patton, and not lose his regular standing
Mt the brush. A close student will find
that in the great business directory of
Nature, he is set down as an ARTISAN
artist without a rival. | know, that
when the summer is passed away, aud
the little flowers are sick unto death, one
Frost sets up his easel with the usual
sign "custom solicited" and paints gro
tesque embroidery figures on the glass Of
our Windows, but the birds in spring
frighten him away with their songs of
welcome to the resurrecied datfodil; the
buds yawn forth 10 their petals that they
want to get up, and blushiugly refuse TO
appear en- disha5iNe until the key IS turn
ed upon him. But I'LL the year around
the studio of Time is open; ell the year
the stately halls of his mansion resound
with the tread of patrons. HIS house
grows not dingy or dismal Cor lack of
visitors. And all the year, his bruh is
painting those funny wrinkles aud crows
feet on our faces, that mistaken people
call old age How foolish |! Oh q
We never grow old, JACK; tho same
blood that dashes through the veins at
twenty. courses along perhaps stea'!ier
at sixty. Lies a long journey, many
are the wrecks by the ways;de, al d
thousands grow weary travelling Lum-
bago and rheumatism are only iudica-
tons that The road grows rough. We
are boys when we start out on the trip;
we're boys whom we get to the end
But we never grow old. Because this
Time uses his brush upon us; because,
in painting some wintry scene, he pow
ders our whiskers just to improve the EFF
feet is no reasonable reason why actua-
ries should resolve that as each twelve
months slip by, we get more aged -
GroWn old ! Impossible. Last week
| grasped the hand of one who, in my
more youthful days, cared for me. His
hair was touched with silver, as skillful
as the Seasons tint the leaves Of Au-
tumn. but he was not old. His heart
was just as warm rs ever; he was a
grey haired boy. Burrows had been
pencled in lasting colors on his brow by
this wondrous artist, but they denoted
not the absence Of youth.

WILMINGTON, n. c., October 5.-This
| morning the case of the Cuban privateer
was taken up before United States Commits
sloner Rutherford. Judges Person and
French appeared for the Government, and
Judge Q. p. Mcars and George Davis for the
defendants. The parties were arraigned on
the charge that
"Ihcy did accept and exercise commits
sion to serve 4 foreign people in war--to
wit, the people Of Cuba, against the people
Of spain, country w IT'D which the United
States is at peace-and did fit out, arm, and
did procure to be fitted out and armed,
within the limits Of the United States, 8
certain snip or vessel called the Cuba, with
intent that said vessel shall he employed in
the service of the people Of Cuba to cruise
and commit hoStilitics against the people Of
Spain, in violation Of the statute Of the
United States and act OF Congress OF goth
Of April, 1SlS.'
The Government not pressing the matter
the parties We're not required to give bonds,
but were placed in custody of the marshal,
who released them on parole that they would
appear and not attempt to leave the city.
The counsel for the Government moved
for time to secure witnesses from New York
and Washington to prove the charges in the
warrant,
The counsel for the defence opposed the
motion. contending that the Government
had no right to hold the parties; that the
vessel was commissioned By a regularly-or-
nanizcd Government-the republic of Cuba !:
that she put in al Smthvillc in distress, and
that it was contrary to the laws Of nations
TO dctain here.
Commissioner Rutherford decided that It
was u1,5mn fucie case, and granted the Co
rcrnmcnt until Monday, October 18th, st II
O'Clock, to produce its witnesses.
