Convention,

a friend writing to the Editor from Tyr
rell county says that there is great una
nimity in that section OF the State in favor
of Convention. The vote in favor OF Con
vention will be considerably larger than
that cast for Judge SHIP in August !ass
From Columbus we learn that the Con
vention question is exciting much interest
and will meet with little opposition. Con
vention will receive larger majority than
that cast for the Conservatives at the last
election.
From all parts of the State We receive
most cheerful news of the great unanimity
OF the people in favor Of the call of Con
vention. Some of the more Conservative
Republicans have already announced
themselves as favorable thereto, and in
some counties it will not be made party
question.

Capitalists! Why stand ye here idle Build tile

Inreply to the foregoing paragraph from
the marlborough Argus, which appeared
in our fridays issue, the President and
Chief Engineer of the Wilmington, Char
lotte and Rutherford Railroad, desire us to
say that "they are doing oil that live men
can do to raise the means nee esSaFy to com

lieve the Board will accomplish in u short
time. When the means arc provided there
wall be no delay in pushing tho construc

We will add that tho "peoplo of whom
the Argus speaks should remember that
the present Board of Directors and Chief
Engineer took charge of q road with an
empty treasury, a ruiued credit. and an
Indebtedness for past services rtssing
heavily upon the management.
"People should further rccolIect that
the present Directory Wsre clected on the
Goth of Octo btr last ; that possession OF
the road was not fully obtained until Jan
nary Goth OF the present year, and that the
new Directors were therefore without
ton of tho whole road until that time. No
negotiations could be made until the ques
tion of control was st tiled, as no capitalists
would listen to propositions for loan un-
til the read was in undisputed possession If
regularly elected officers.
They should, likewise, remember that

How Ugliness Becomes Beau
tiful. e.

A beautiful face is one of Gods
beautiful works; but He has made
more beautiful things. We shall
see, maybe, in our travel of to-mor-
row-you or I-some angular-faced
woman of youthful but uncertain
age, in gold-bowed glasses perhaps,
and shall say at the first cruel glance
(you or y, "Good gracious, what a
woman to live with" An old gen
tleman, her attendant, goes halting-
ly to the place beside her; and there
Is such touching and delicate atten-
tion on her part to every want of
his-such grace of action-such
tender, eager, yet not officious or
presuming watchfulness-that you
cannot keep your eyes from her, ugly
though she be; and the face of the
old gentleman grows radiant as it
turns towards her, and you perceive
him to be under such abiding charm
as her low musical voice falls on his
ear that, little by little, even as you
look, the angularities melt away in
to the fine flowing lines, and the
homely text of her face, hour by
hour, and feature by feature, grows
luminous with sweet, deep mean
ing, that is as subtle and penetra-
ting in its influence as beauty itself.
And if an hour of onlook can work
such TRANSPORTATION and make one
blind to any possible crabbedness
of text by reason of the sweet
meaning it carries, how shall it be
with the reading of a month, or
year, or a life?-D. G. MITCHELL.

The Cabbage Worm.

was disastrous; the insects did not
injure tho early crops much, but
they came in legions for the late

Custom.

Possession, like all earthly bless
ings, carries within its own princi-
pie of corruption. The deadliest
foe to love is not change nor mis-
fortune, nor wrath, nor anything that
flows from passion, or emanates from
fOrtune,-the deadliest foe TO it is
custom! With custom die away the
delusions and the mysteries which
encircle it. With all passion the
soul demands something unex-
pressed, some vague recess to ex-
plore or to marvel upon. Custom
leaves nothing to romance, and of
ten but little to respect. The whole
character is barred before us like q
plain, and the hearts eye grows
wearied with the sameness of the
survey. And to weariness succeeds
distaste one of the myriad shapes
of Professionalism; so that the
passion we would make the rarest of
treasures, fritters down to very
instance of the commonest of prov
erbs, and "out of the familiarity
cometh, indeed, contempt Bull
