The OId-Fash1oncd Mother.

Thank God! some of us have al old
fashioned mother. Not a woman of the
period, enameled and painted with her
great chignon, her curls and hustle, whose
white, jeweled hands have never felt the
clasp of baby fingers but a dear, old, fash
ioned, swcet-voiced mother, with eyes in
whose clear depths the 1ovelight shone,
and brown hair, thre AIDED with silver, lying
smooth upon her faded cheek. Those
dear hands, Worn with toll, gently guided
our lettering steps in childhood, and
ST., othed our pillow in sickness, even
reaching out to us in yearning tenderness
when her sweet spirit was baptized in the
pearly spirit of the river.
Blessed is the memory of an old-fash-
ioned mother. 1t floats to us now, like the
beautiful perfume of some woodland bios
som. The music Of other voices may be
lost, but the enhancing memory of hers
will eche in. our souls forever. Other faces
will fade away and be forgotten, but hers
will shiAe on until the light from Heavens
portals shall glorify our own. When in
the fitful pauses of busy life our feet wan
der back to the old homestead, and crues-
ing the wcll-wOrn threshold, stand once
more in the low, quaint room, hallowed by
her presence, how the feeling of childish
innocence and dependence comes over us,
and we kneel down i'll the molten sunshine
streaming through the western window
Just where long years ago We knelt by our
mothers knee lisping Our Father" How
many times when the tempter ltIred us on,
/ has the memory Of those sacred hours, that
mothers words, her faith and PRAYERS,
saved Us from plunging into the deep abyss
of sin! Years have filed great drifts be-
tween her and US, but they have not hid
den from our sight the glory of her pure,
unselfish love.-Jour'1nl o fhe Farm.

THE OUTLAWS.
FERTI2ER FROM THE ROBESON
OUTLAWS-TfIE HERALD
CORRESPONDENT \
PRISONER.

When the train passed Moss Neck, OH
the Wilmington, Charlotte 4 Rutherford
Railroad yesterday, Stephen Lowery and
Andrew Strong, two Of the Robson out
laws, appeared at the depot, each armed
with a Winchester rife and four Colts
navy revolvers in their belts. With them
was the latest Herald correspondent, y. 3.
Henderson, Il true bohemian, who reported
himself as prisoner to the outlaws. Hem
derson had slung across his shoulders
long backwoods rife, belonging 10 one OF
the outlaws, and was escorted wherever he
went by Stephen Lowery and Andrew
Strong. He remarked privately, that he
was still determined to interview Henry
Berry Lowery, if to be found in those
parts; but also stated that from all ac-
counts it seemed that lie had flown the
country: not one word, however, had he
of the chief leader of the gang from those
who had him in custody. They insist,
though in declaring Boss Strong not dead,
but badly wounded.
This bohemian, Henderson, is heavy on
the sensational, as will appear from the
following dispatch to the New ork Herald,
, which was handed the Conductor by one
of the outlaws to forward to its destination,
but which was no doubt written by Hen
. deIson himself. 1t is as follows:

Notwithstanding the assertion of tln out

Conservatism Vs. Radlcalisn-The

1t is our purpose, from time to time, TO
call the attention Of the people to the strik-
ing difference between the public economy
and money expenditures in various re-
spects under Radical rule and Copserva-
tive rule: The difference in favor of the
Conservative rule must impress everybody
most forcibly, and il will be the more mani
fest when it is remembered that during
two years Of the time embraced by the ac-
count VIC give, the Radicals, under Gov.
Holden, had complete control of every
branch and department. of the State Gov
elnment, while the Conservative have had
control of but one branch, the Legislature.
since November, 1870.
We first call attention 10 what has been
done with the Educational Fund-how it
was spent by the Radicals, but not for the
purpose of education.
During the year, beginning the first dav
of October, 1873, and ending the first day
Of October, 1860. there was to the credit of

Prices on Wheat have not, as anticipated,
been materially changed by the corner IN
Chicago. Our readers will notice an advance
of five cents on the bushel for new prime Wheat.
But little doing in other grains. Feathers,
wool and dried fruit were brisk yesterday, some
heavy shipments being made which indicate a
demand from the East and West.
The wholesale trade among our merchant has
only been fair The majority of the country
merchants have not as yet been able to bring
their grain to market, consequently there has
been a scarcity of money which has had de-
pressing effect The chances are, however, that
trade will commence and continue to improve
about theEfrst of September. ...t...

dollar per day, that is all who wouiu receive
their money, some refusing to so, preferring
to be paid all ''in lump.
Last week Smith increased his force to about
fiftv men and had several teams also at work for
him. hauling lumber. The men at work were
happy in having plenty of work to do and the

imagined All went smoothly, however, until
Friday, when Smith had one of his hired men
to get his mule shod and went to Strawberry
Plains, where the slaves were being hauled for
shipment and drawing what money from Mr..
Thornburgh he could, left for parts unknown.
Tho slaves made and delivered when he left
amounted to only $134, and his expenses were
at least four times as much, but as he did moi
meet his liabilities all he got was clear gain.
Just before leaving the cutting ground, or
Friday, Smith gave instructions to force o.
men 10 continue chopping the remainder of tht
day, which they did and covered the ground
with fallen trees, He had gone so far as to sell
the "butts and laps of the trees after cutting OF
