My Familiar.
BY SAKE.

Again hear that creaking stepi
He's rapping at the door!
Too well l know the bodiDg sound
That ushers in bore.
do not tremble when meet
The stoutest of my foes,
But Heaven defend me from the friend
Who comes-but never goes
lie drops into my easy chair,
And asks about the news;
lie peeps into my manuscript,
And gives his candid views;
He tells me where he likes the line,
And where he's forced to grievc;
He takes the strongest liberties
But never takes his leave!
He reads my daily papers through.
Before I've seen word;
He scans the lyric (that wrote)
And thinks it quite absurd;
He calmly smokes my last cigar,
And coofry asks Tor mere;
He opens everything he secs
Except the entry door
lie talks about his fragile health,
And tells me OF the pains
He suffers from a score of ills
OF which he meier complains;
And how he struggled once with death
To keep the fiend at bay;
On themes like those away he goes
But never goes away!
He tells Of the carping words
Some shallow critic wrote,
And every precious paragraph
Familiarity can quote.
He thinks the writer did me wrong;
He'd like to run him through
He says thousand pleasant things
But never says "AdicuP'
WheDe'cr he comes-that dreadful man
Disguise it as l may,
know that, like an autumn rain,
He'll last throughout the day;
In vain speak OF urgent tasks;
In vain l scold and pout;
A irown is no extinguisher-
1t does not put him out!
l mean to take the knockcr Off
Put Grape upon the door;
Or hint to John that am gone
To stay month or more;
l do not tremble when l meet
The stoutest OF my foes;
But Heaven defend me from the friend
Who meyer, never goesi

YESTERDAY WE COUNTED twenty three
bald headed men on the streets. and we will
here state, that it was not a good day for
bald heads either. We should judge from
the appearance of those unfortunates that
they were made bald from carrying Sunday
School books in their hats when boys.

A Card.

MIR. EDITOR Permit me, through your
valuable columns, to say word to the pub
lie in relation to the nominations for Con-
gress in this Congressional District.
In looking over the columns of the Colds
boro Messenger, it says: Nv. f. Loftin, an
other truly loyal, and one of Holden's mill
tia Generals, tor Lenoir County, avows
openly that the nominations will not re-
ceive the approval of the Republican party :;
that the ticket is as weak as water, and can
not carry the strength of the party" &c.
The Messenger further declares that there is
trouble brewing in the Republican camps
1 did say, Mr.. Editor, that the nomi,
nation of Judge Thomas did not meet my
approval, but go for principles and not for
men. Judge Thomas is good Republican
and an honest, Christian gentleman, and was
nominated by the District Executive Com
mittee, and we, the Republicans of the sec
ond District, will stand by the nomination
and if the ticket is weak we will make il
strong.
There is no trouble in this district. =
Judge Thomas, it is true, was not nv frs,
choice before the committee, but my indi
vidual choice was over-ruled, and l now
heartily endorse Messrs. Thomas and Dixon
and will stand by them through the cam
paign. If 1t were necessary 1 would lock
my doors and canvass the District for them
But it is not, as we arc united, and upon the
4th day of August next. Lenoir County viii
give them six hundred majority, and the.
will be elected to Congress by not less thar
5000 majority.

the messenger care nothing for Governo

OF the 9th brigade, and I am proud ofit
am ready and willing to obey his call at an.
!ll1e IN putting down the Kuklux outrage
me loyal men of this section most hear
tiiy endorse Gov. Holden's action to restor

their cordial support.

GEN. G. H. BRoGDEN.-This gentleman
was renominated for the Senate from Greene
and Wayne counties on the End inst.
1t is useless for us to say anything in the
praise of Gen. Brogden. The people know

citation of his services in their behalf, by re-
electing him by an increased majority.

imposed on by his lies, uniform, &c. Watch
out for him.

complishments, and do more, than single

On Thursday last, Samuel T. Carrow, U. 3.
