Richest Treasures.
The Raleigh IN. o. Sentinel has the
foil owing hit: No greener pastures, no
more fertile fields, ever feasted the frolic-
some mule-colt, or gladdened the heart
and pocket of the sun Drowned husband
man with hundred-fold harvests. No
bluer skies bend their crystal arch above
the far-famed, beggar-hemmed and flea
girt bay OF Naples; or the lake OF Como,
on whose enchanted shores lay the
bogus rancho of Claude Melnotte. No
softer moonlight bathes in floods OF sill
very sheen the orange groves of Anda-
lusia, or lures the gushing gosling to
amatory-squash strolls with
his adored and adorable Nancy Jane. No
balmier breezes sigh over Araby the
blest or the gardens of Gul nher bloom,
than the sweetness-s zephyrs
that lingor in loving dalliance amid our
rose beds and pig pens, japonica thick
cts, honeysuckle arbors and guano de-
positaries. No nobler, longer-legged,
bigger-booted, straighter tobacco-spit-
ting, more public spirited and princely
men than our agricultural and mechani-
cal fair directors, for instance, ever left
their No. 10 stoga footprints on the
sands of time. And no brighter, dear
er, lovelier creatures ever fitted through
oriental poets raptest dream of Para
disc, than our little dimity ducklings-
our homemade calico seraphs-our pat

darlings - our sweetbearts, wives,
mothers-in-law, grannies, and cousin
Polly AIMS. Oh, it's a splendid, mag
nificent, hunlSidorious domain. It's
land of orchards and fruit trees, of cot
ton and golden grain; under the feet a
carpet of flowers, and the brightest of
heavens bending above and resting its
dome on the walls of the forest. And
what is there desirable under the sun
that it can't or doesn't, or won't pro-
duce2 Of oil mans varied wants, wish
es, lusts or whimsies, is there one that
may not, or cannot be supplied, graft
fed, satisfied by home production
Nay, verily-none. Here are timber,
stone, clay, and lime for his dwelling.
Cattle, yellow-legged chickens, corn,
oil, wine, buttermilk and honey, pump
kin pies growing wild on the pawpaw
bushes, Vinegar bitters, and hmburger
cheese for his food; and tobacco for his
solace and delight, by enabling him to
render every parlor and church pew just
as nasty rs his elevated Christian tastes
require. Sheep and broad acres of
snowy cotton, to yield him needfnl tog-
gerry material, rare and fragrant flowers
for votive offerings to his radiant young
goddess. What more could be asked or
desired2 The maddest, greadiest
grumbler could suggest but one thing
more to render our bliss complete, and
that is the discovery of perfumed hair
oil well, whisky spring, a velvet bon
net tree, and paper collar mine. Seek
Ell for home, shivering in chill north
ern cline, here is the place for you
here is elysium regained-here is every
thing you can possibly want for cen
tennial to come-a grand nault,tm IN
oaruo of all that heart can wish, and
cheap as dirt. Come and be happy
Come from every nation, come from
every way. The Old NORTH State offers
you welcome, fortune and ease.
