FRUITS OF ALL KINDS,
such as peaches, pealS, apples, craps,

OF man is idle, and the eye so blind, in view
Of such natural libcrality. Talk not OF ne

dScomfortS unknown in this delightful

LANDS ARE RICH
as heart can desire, and on which drought is
seldom or never experienced. Nature has, it
might almost be said, exhausted herself acre,
and man is satisfied with such return as the
least possible labor will give. Ambitious
longings swell the fewest number Of leartS.

valley, where too, one is impressed with the
same lack Of o-ahead-active-ness.
ALL DAY LONG
ascend the grateful incense of smoke wrCaths,
emitted from the mouths Of happy Morgan
tonianS, happy that so much has been dcne
for them. Morganton is in perpetual cord
of Durham smoke, drawn from Aunt Sallic
Mical pipes, which are more esteemed than
costly Meerschaums. This pipe is manu-
fuctured out OF some peculiar light co,ored
clay, at the rate Of a hundred per DAY, by old
Aunt Sallie-not round the corner SalFc Of
whom the poet has written-and villa 10
other machinery than her own dcft fingers,
and sell as fast as hot ginger cakes for twcn-
ty-five cents per dozen. Happy smoker, now
wrapped in wreath clouds, with no thought
Of the future! Z change will come over the
spirit Of your dreams, however, when Aunt
Sallc finishes her probation here, and Sops
the supply Of pipes. Our sympathetic heart
blecds at the thought, for she is growing old,
but hark, what is that which, stealing on
the soft night air, dispclS the clouds - lately

BELLE MALONE,
rendered by the Morganton Cornt Band,
practicing tonight in the venerable Court
House Thoughts of homo troop through the
mind, rs the soft strains coE.c in threngL the
windows Of our cosy room in the Northwest
corner of the Walton House, and il Sweet
Belle has as much effect on mine host Nal
lord, as on his boarders, they will have more
to do than common at the breakfast table in
the morning. But no one will go back on it,
however great the pile or variety, the brlcing
air of this place enabling man 10 do justice
to his meals on all occasions.
VERY ENERGET MAYOR,
has Morganton, in Mr.. Betlis, who although
! cripple from paralysis, moves about in a
wheel chair, wherever his presence is needed.
Fortunately he has but little to do, as the
Treasury has been bankrupt for years, the
taxpayers nearly ali having claim: against
the corporation, and in consequences very
small tax is paid in.
AN ORGAN,
it is said, is needed here, and some say ve
might make something or it. 1t is doubtful
and might lead TO difficulties, for good OAt
if made to aricle-latc some wholesome TRUTH
loud enough 10 wake up aspirit of enterprise
and energy, might have an extra stop put On
it, not at all desirable to the builder OF
manufacturer. A newspaper would be
great help no doubt, and if properly conduit
cd nigh! produce happy effect in aiding
the development OF very rich country.
ONE OF THE BUSIEST MEN
here is MI McE and yet so clever wlthal
that he will spend whole days in giving I,
stranger all the history of the county OF
which he is thoroughly posted-and al the
while he smokes. This would be charming
retreat for Grant from the cares of business.
We don't advise him 10 spend any length Of
time, though, because lie is not at all admired.
But perhaps we are dwelling too long On
Morganton, and had best say something
ABOUT GLEN ALPIN,
instead, one of the lorelieSt OF places, and
situated about thirteen miles from town, in
tue very midst of the mountains, where we hal
the pleasure Of going on Tuesday last, and OF
spending two delightful days, as the guest Of
an Intelligent and agreeable gentleman, Col
T. G. Walton, one Of the proprictors of tn,
Glen and many contiguous acres Of mountain
and plain beyond. This gentleman is here
summering it with several members of his
family, among whom may be mentioned his
estimable lady, and two lovely and agreeable
daughters-both ofwhom,
UNFORTUNATELY FOR THE REST OF NAN
KIND,
are already happily mated. GlcG Alpin is
noled through this portion of WesterHN. c.
for its delightful temperature, romantic SUI
of mountain and vale, picturesque
glens, numerous waterfalls, which burst on
the eyes in continuous and constantly vary
ing changes as the rocky defile is ascended,
winding upward with wild precipitousness,
startling the sense with its chasms and deep,
dark depths which lie below in a twilight
