Now white with wrath, now hcck'd

They onward rove 10 find a home.
Sometimes their song is sweet and low.
Sometime. It's sad like funeral dirge a;
And then they scarcely seem to go
But steal aiorg the woodland verge.
But oh! at length they shout with ciee,
Old oceans rear breaks on each ga;
With JOY they cry The sea, the sea
Our rest will be forever here.
When 10! til" sunbeam. swift and true,
Shall kiss them from old Neptune ;

And fogs aud mists. DER fields Of blue,
Shall bear them back, through clouds

Such is our life, ssleep, awake.

Sometimes sweet hope It's flight shall
take,
And leave US pain! and grief, ant
tears.
Sometimes the heart beats low aud faint
As troubles ruunt oar path Increase.
And sin, aud care, aud earthly taIEt~
Hide fronI our view the bow OF peace
We look ahead and Joyful greet
Some spot of green, just or before
And fondly dream u tired feet

Alas when near the clesc Of day,
We reach, what scene the spot 81

We find it farther still away
Mirag'd upon the evening air.

FsAsKL1yroN, N. c., Oct. 81,


Mr. Editor: The recent drought,
which was almost universal in the Uni
ted States, did not spare the counties
of Granville and Franklin, for they too
come up with the vail of mot half an
average CROP" The corn crop will not
exceed one fourth of a crop much, if
any. Yet the people think by econo
mizing they will be enabled to tickle
the bosom of old mother earth again
next season. Sowing wheat is now the
order of the day with the farmers.
Nearly all the cotton IS picked and gin
ned. The finest pastures anywhere IN
the country were on the kobeson IN
Granville during the dry weather.
There is where the Les Estteza St-inta

on it from its appearance IN spring until
frost. 1t was first discovered there in
1866, and it has one peculiarly that
recommends tic the consideration of all
who have lands infested with broom
sedge, and it is this that thi. clover
speedily eradicates the sedge, enriche'
the land and gives a carpet of nutrl
tious verdurc in its stead. 1t will grow
on the poorest lands, among old field
pines and in the original forest. Cattle
are Unfortunately fond of it, and the
milk, butter and beef raised from it AZ
