I'll No Trust Ye.

Two centuries age. in the highlands
Of Scotland. to ask for Il receipt or d
promissory note was thought an insult.
If parties had business matters to trans
act, they stepped into the air. fixed their
eyes upon the heavens, and each repeat
ed his obligations, with no moral wit
ness. A mark was then carvedon some
rock or tree near by as remembrance
of the compact. Such thing as breach
of contract was rarely met with, so
highly did the people regard their honor.
When the march of improvement
brought the new mode of doing business,
they were often panied by these innova-
tons. An anccdote is handed down of
a farmer who had been to the Lowlands
and learned worldly wisdom. On return
ing To his native parish he had need of n
sum of money, and made bold to ask n
loan from gentleman Of means named
Stewart. This was kindly granted. and
Mr.. s. counted out the gold. This done.
the farmer wrote Il receipt and offered it
to Mr. :.
"What is this. man9" cried Mr.. s..
cycling The slip Of paper.

ye back yer gold al the right Tine re-
piled Study.

catherine il up, he put il back in his
desk and turned his key on it,
''Bul sir. might die. replied the
canny Srotchman, bringing up az argu-
ment in favor of his ueW wisdom s.and
perhap, my sons might refuse it We; but
the bit OF paper would compel them"
Compel them to sustain n dead faith

A MEcKLENBURe SENATOR.

Our people are 70 'tunate in hav.
ing two able and most excellent
candidates to vote for to fill the
important and honorable place of
State Senator from Mecklenburg
county.
Col. Myers is a tried patriot and
statesman. We say patriot and
statesman designedly, because, as
we learn, as far back as 1860, in the
Presidential struggle of that year,
he had the patriotic wisdom to see
the danger and ruin his democratic
friends were preparing for us; and
better still, almost alone, he had the
courage to cut loose from them, and
from that day to this, he has breast
ed the storm of popular prejudice.
As a Douglass Democrat and cleo
tor he was true to the Union.
When the war was inevitable, he
did his duty to the South and to the
cause of Independence. The strug-
gle ended, he grasped at once the
whole complex question of negro
