The day we should celebrate, the glorious
4th of July, will be here in some three weeks,


4th of July, will be here in some three weeks,
but, we are sorry to say that no move is
making for its proper observance. Can't
we bestir ourselves, fellow citizens, and by a
well directed effort, show that We have not
forgotten the deeds of the fathers, which Sc
cured us country and a name, and, best Of
all, the largest liberty enjoyed by any nation
on the face of the Earth Think of it, work
for it, and let US see what we can do.
T'is true we have had big time since the
4th day of July, 1776; and big events have
operated to make the occurrences of 'tht
days that tried men $ souls" appear small il
comparison; but their littleness is only il
appearance. The labor done, under all the
circumstances by which the laborers them
selves were surrounded, was most herculeaus
1t was labor which prepared us to dc
what has since been done-which enabled u.
to preserve in tact, that which the immorta
laborers of '76, under the the blessing Of
Providence, created; the union, the indepen
dence, and liberty enjoyed by these United
States. Is not this worthy of more than Q
mere passing notice
There was something more than mere fan
TASTE, in the mind of the elder Adams, wher
he was prompted to declare that the day
should be celebrated with bonfres, illumina
tions, parades, and every other token of Joy
and rejoicing which the mind of man could
invent. Let us then go to work Call a
meeting, appoint working, active commit
tees, and see whether we cannot do some
thing to show that we have neither forgot
ten nor are ungrateful, for, the blessings
which have been so bountifully bestowed upor
us, by the events which should make the 4th
Of July memorable to, and observed by, al
friends of liberty forever.

North Carolina Rice Fields,

The North Carolina rice fields, COM
prIsing the richest lands of the state,
and capable of producing from 500, OOO
to /, 900, 600 bushels ofgrain a year, are
all covered with reeds and bushes, their
bitches filed with mud, their dykes
rotted away, and rice is no longer a
staple product or an article of export.
Thirty years ago the rice fields of the
Cape Fear river produced crop of
200, 900 bushels, and most of which was
shipped to northern cities, where it was
cleaned ana prepared for market. Fiji
teen years later, just before the break
ing out of the war, the yield of the same
region had increased to 500, 900 BUSH
els, and at the same time there were
several mills III Wilmington in which
the rice was cleaned before it was
sent coastwise to New York or Balti-
more, or shipped directly to foreign
ports. In 1871, rice was planted on
only one or two farms, and the entire
crop was only 10000 bushels, LESS
than the amount consumed i'll the
state, and this year only three plant
ers have ventUred to put in a crop Of
rice; and although the yield to the
acre will be the greatest remembered
by the oldest rice planter around Viii
mington, the crop will not exceed 40,
600 on 80, 600 bushels.

Arithmetic for MiiIIOnaires.

The following paragraph is gong the
round of the London papers 1.-the
Chinese have q most ingenious method
of reckoning by the aid Of the fingers,
performing all the operations of addi-
tion, sUibstraction, multiplication and
division, with numbers from one up to
1000 Every finger of the left hand
REPRESENTS nine figures, as follows
The little finger represents units, the
ring finger tens, the middle finger hun
dreds, the .forefinger thousands, the
thumb tens of thousands. When the
three joints of each finger are touched
from the palm toward the tip,
they count one, two and three
of each of the demonstrations
as above named. -Four, five and six
are counted on the back Of the finger
joints in the same way; seven, eight
and nine are counted on the right side
of the joints from the palm to the tip
The forefinger of the right hand is used
as d point off. Thus 1, 2, 3, 4, would
be indicated by first touching the joint
of the foretinger; next the hand on the
inside; next the middle joint of the
middle finger on the inside; next the
end joint of the ring finger on the in
side; and finally the joint of the little
finger next the hand on the outside.

That she was left with none to love.

And waited ON the other side.
Then why that pallor and that shiver?
Why had her lips fearful quiver?
Why smiled [ while she cried?

Faith saws the eyes, you closed in sleeping,
In Heaven a faithful watch are keeping
Der one grown lonely on her way.
That faith, to you, like Jacobs ladder,
Has bridged deaths mighty chasm DER:
But oh no one ON earth were sadder,
And none in heaven would be the gladder,
Were called to the NevermoFe,
Alas no restrictive morrow
VIII wake the love that used to be;
And l from faith no promise borrow
To take the keen edge from my sorrow:

She is so fair thought, so dear and fair
Maldenly beautiful from head to feet,
With pensve profile delicate and sweet,
And Tihan's color in her sunny hair.
SO fair, thought, rejoicing even to note
The little flexible, transparent wrist,
The purole of the gold-clasp3d amethyst
That glittered at her white and slender throat
The tiny ear, curied like rosy shell !;
The gentle splendor of the wide brown eyes
Deep, lustrous, tender, clear as mornina
skies:
The full; sad lips,-the vote that like a bell
1tqnraLhrllisg wits music sweet ant'rwild,
High, airy pure as fluting of the fays,
Or bird-notes in the early summer days,
Aud Joyous as the laughter of child.
Dearest, has heaven at,ghb 10 give thee more
l thought, the while watched her changing
face,
Heard her fine tones and marked her ges-
ture's grace .--.
Yea, one more gift is left, all gifts before.
We ge our separate ways on earth, and pain,
Gods shaping ehisel, waits us as the rest,
With nobler charm thy beauty to invest,
And make thee loveler ere we meet again.
