DAD.

One thing has always seemed strange
to me, by the way-that all the sentl-
ment of song should be tfeacleo OUT
upon Man, and not:one pis OF sugar
for "Dad." I don't object to good
deol being done in pralseiui way Tor
" Mother" but 7 agree with the I'M
nartial critic who remarked that the
old gentleman ought to have q show
occasionally. Be mine the task to put
in a lyric word for "tlle old man.. L
contribute these verses to literature
not to show that can do one thing as
we'll as another, turn off poem as
easily al an agricultural essay; not with
any intention to snatch the wreaths
from Bryant's brow or fob Longfel-
low of his laurels (though if critics. will
draw comparisons, hold me not to
blame if they turn in my favor; but L
simply sling these verses at your head,
good reader, in a feeble endeavor to
do Justice TO a much neglected body
of our fellow-citizens:

The Carolina Central.

We are requested to say in reply to
a "phunny" article in the Charlotte o.
scrUer of the 18th, that the passenger
trains of this company have but in a
single instance failed to leave Char
lotte on OR about schedule time and
never failed to reach that city either
direct or by transfer, except in a few
cases where slides had covered the
track, before the hour for leaving of
the next train.
This we consider reflects credit upon
the officers and employees and espe-
clally upon the conductors, engineers
and track men and masters.
Those of our renders who are ac-
quainted with the character of the
soil between Monroe and Charlotte
will appreciate the trouble in mein-
tanning these connections so we'll in
the face of difficulties that would have
deferred less energetic men.

The Raleigh Light Infantry, as we
learn from the Nc,cs, having already
secured tents will provide themselves
with the regular camp equipage for the
Grand Centennial Campaign at Char

soldiers life, camp and guard duty.
We would be glad to learn that the
Wilmington Light Infantry, SO recent

are as yet, ununiformed, unarmed and
undrilled and the Centennial is but
little more than two months off.

GOD IN THE CONSTITUTION.


Our dispatches stated some days ago that
a hapless wretch had been expelled the
North Carolina Legislature because he didn't
believe there is God. A negro member
instigated and effected the white atheists
extrusion. This cOlored gentleman is of
that excessively pious class who are going
about with mallets and chisels to make an
opening in the Federal Constitution where
by they may crafty the Great Creator of
the Universe by having his name placed
uaongsiae the Fifteenth Amendment.
There A u large party in the North. stranoa
as sane people may think it, orean,zsd I;S,s,
the Leaders little temperance coteri.1 on
the one idea of putting God in the Con
stitution." The Herald says that the Mumbo
Jumbo who gave paternity to the move
ment for the expulsion Of the atheist had a
grandfather on the Guinea coast. He
therefore comes legitimately by vigorous
religious impulses. 1t would not be an ex-
traVagant fancy to picture the grandfather of
this leader of the religious thought Of North
Carolina in the full enjoyment of the spare
ribs of his enemy, convicted of the heinous
fault of bowling down at the shrine of some
other Mumbo Jumbo than the one he fan
cied; and perhaps even the prosecuted
member in the present case may congratp-
late himself that the market furnishes bet
ter meat than he would for the white worries
Of his antagonist 1t does not. appear
whether the expelled member believes in
God or does not believe in Him. It only
appears that be has written on the subject,
and that the average ignorance puts the cx-
tremest Interpretation on what he has writ
ten, and thereupon puts him out despite
the several clauses in the Constitution of
the State which. seem to makera mans
thoughts on these topics dependent upon
no other standard than sehe dictates of his
own Conscience But North Carolina, the
Herald says, is primitive country, Her
people entertain very nearly the, religious
notions that flourished in the times when
disputes were settled at the stake, and when
q negro-the EXTREMIST Of the class-threw
this motion among the representatives OF
people Of that sort they dared not vote in a
way their constituents would have deemed
scandalous. At 7r
