Under the Lines.

How sweet in winter-time we feign the spring
How fair BY night we dream the day shall
be?
Can any Aptitude such freshness bring,
Our eyes IN any morn such brightness sec?
Behold thd first shnots breaking on the tree;
And when we wake, our reason fain would
cling
Prisoners to fancy, fearing to be free.
For like the crossing leaves, that day by day
Grow larger, till they weave the linden shade,
Our pleasures SO are woven to a whole;
Not in the part we see how glad are they;
But after find ev'n fairer than we prayed;
Their dreams and memories left within the
soul.

\ A Fall Opening Tragedy,

Before a brilliant WINDOW 1uII
A wretched father stood, NJ
And gazed at silks, and lace, and tulle,
In fierce, despairing mood,
And beat his breast and muttered, "foolp
And shook his fist quite rude.
For there, within that gorgeous store,
He saw his daughters three,
Before a counter running DER
With heaped-up tineree,
Keeping the clerks -perhaps score,
As busy as could be.
That father smiled fendish grin,
Then turned and fled away.

Those bills he didn't pay:
And his three daughters now take in
Plain sewing by the day.

Radicalism in Beaufort.

The Radicals Of Beaufort are on
the war path in real earnest, but
here seem to be discussion among
their ranks and n split in their party.
On Tuesday the 26th instant at IL
mas meeting Of colored people, tho
party leaders were the hobby Of
every speaker and had heaped upon
them all the slang and vituperatinn
knownin the unabridged edition of the
Radical vocabulary, until ;hc Ring
tail Roarer, Joe Robinson, made II
mad attack upon Tom Hamilton and
Myers, Of the Wallace House fame.
upon whom he charged the 'lownfa |
Of Radicalism in this State. HamiI-
ton, with his usual Independence IN Il
grace, made sensible and stirring
speech in which he declared that
Office had no attraction for him, nor
did lie ca.o whether they (Radica's)
thought him right or wrong. AT the
bar Of his own conscience he stood
for judgment, and appealed to time
for n vindicntion of his course and the
purity of his motives.
After this manly address from one
i'll whom the colorcd people should
feel ii pride, some nurrow headed
viper offered tho usual resolution
reading Hamilton out Of tho party
which were adopted by the meeting.
w. j. Whipper poured fourth a
stream of wisdom i'll lengthy har-
angue by way Of abuse Of the old
party leaders, saying that not one,
! against whom fraud in the slightest
degree could be charged, should be n
candidate for Office. Some one in
the crowd called his attentiont to w
j. Whipper, when he cried out, II
shall not be candidate for office"
Poor Hamilton received large por-
ton Of this vial ofwrath upon his
| head
There is evidently trouble in the
camp and the champions of the
contesting parties are Whipper and

the conduct of d. II. Chamberlain or
any other carpct-bag or scallawag
official of their party. We have
heard Of several instances of, not

surely the generous act Of our
Governor will be remembered in
kindness if nothing more by his Radi-
cal opponents.

Who Built it?

There is in Fayette county, West
Virginia, the remains of an ancient
stone wall, in regard to which moth
ing definite seems to be known and
which is a curiosity we'll worth inVes.
tigatienb by those interested in Amer.
lean Antiquities. This wall was built
on the summit of an almost inacces-
sible ridge, forming the watershed
between Armstrong and Leup creeks.
about a mile from their confluence
with the Great Kanawhs river, and
which at this point rises to an eleva.
ton of 1875 feet above the river,
forming a sharp ridge or backbone.
comparatively level, in the direction
Of its course. In ascending the
steep slope facing the river the wall
is encountered about seventy-fve
feet vertically from the top of the
mountain, and from this point it can
be traced entirely around, following
as near as practicable the contour of
the ridge. The entire length of this
wall, to the best of nay knowledge,
is about six miles, though it is esti-
mated by seine at twelve and four
teen miles. There is a single cross
wall dividing this enclosure into two
unequal compartments, within the
larger of which is a pool of clear
water, ten or twelve feet in diane
Ter, and which the old settlers of
this region believe to have been a
we'll.
Mr.. Butler, who came to this sec
ton when it was partially occupied
by the Indians. affirrns this pool to
have been ten feet deeper than til
at present. and that as far as he
knows the Indians knew nothing in
regard to the wall save its existence.
The wall seems to have been about
eight feet wide and as many in hight.
Where it has fallen the stone covers
a space of twenty or thirty feet wide,
and in places it is raised five or six
feet above the surface; the remains
are so distinct that it may be traced
several hundred yards on either aide
from the summit Of the ridge. All
loose stones have been carried from
within the enclosure TO the wall, and
for some distance on the outside
there is no loose rock.
Large masses of black flint may
be seen some distance above the
ledge, and since there is only one
blak flint ledge in this formation it
is evident that these masses have
been carried up the hill 10 the wall.
There are two important questions
to be answered-Who built the wall ?
For what purpose was it built?
/ will leave the answers to some
one better informed on these sub
ects. but will always be ready to
answer any questions which may
throw light on Il he subject VIM.

The Fruit Business.

To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette
Almost every ocean steamer leay-
ing New York for liverpool OF Lon
don, in the Fail and Winter months
takes from five hundred to three
thousand barrels fruit. Shipments
are also made from other ports; and
as late as last May, fifteen hundred
barrels were sent from Philadel-
phia to England. In December last
ninety Thousand barrels of American
apples were landed at Liverpool.
Exports Of apples have varied much
in yearly amounts, occasioned by
scarce or abundant seasons. In
1861 the amount was only S269, 900;
in 1871, it was S5O9,OOO; while. for
the year ending June, 1877, it
amounted to 2,937,O25. showing an
increase of more than fire hundred
per cent. in Eve years. Horace
Greedy. in his palmy days, say 30
years ago, often urged his farmer
readers to plant apple trees, assur-
ing them that the market never
could be Overstocksd, and then not
a busheI were exported. As the re-
frigerating process becomes more
and more perfect, it will aid largely
the expectation, not only OF apples
but Of more delicate fruits. Pears,
peaches and grapes, have been sent
to England in good order; and it is
confidently expected. and with rea-
son, that American peaches will soon
be well known in the markets or
England. Therefore, l repeat the
admonition OF Mr.. Greedy to Amer
lean farmers, plant fruit trees, for
ysu will never be able to overstock
the markets of the world, which can
now be reached by steam. Get a
stock ready for aerial navigation

Tank de Lor', He know de best,
For de parchin' crop am blest,
An de darkies hab some rest,
In de shower;
But dat mornin'-glory brier, ...-
An dat pusley's GROWTH higher
Eb'ry hour.
