Snimes a Poet.

Its a matter of two weeks since the
snow fell, and my mind has been exer,
cised about it. I have labored to pro-
duce something worthy of the occasion.
and if my effort as poet meets with
the appreciation that my prose writings
do. am made man. There are mil
lions in it, millions Of something.
The snow, the snow, the beautiful snow,
1t falleth fast, but most times slow,
Now it sticks close, and it melts no more.
1t falls IN the night, while sleeper's snore,
It falls in the day, and loud is the roar
Of people, as it SHOWS, the beautiful snow.
Il piles up silently around windows and door,
And struggling fakes are found on the floor.
The snow, the snow, let it fall-eYer more,
For it is beautiful, while falling, ohbesuiiful
snow.
When Its slick on the ground, I'll skate on
the moor,
Perhaps get fall, and the place hurt feel
sore.
Plaster it up boys, and charge to the snow,
The beautiful, white, the piled up snow
But after comes a thaw, the beauty is gone
As you tramp in the slush, the shine all
shorn,
Oh then you do wish, you had never been
born,
With clothes all hesmirched, appearance
forlorn.
Tell of its beauty to the Innocent marine,
Tell not to me, I've got over the green,
The next time it falls, let it fall, let it fall,
With the snow an done, this is all, this i:
all.

Southern Seed.

We are in receipt Of one of Col. j.
W. Vandiver's catalogues of vegetable
seeds. Our acquaintance with this
gentleman dates back to ever so long
ago, ard from that time to the present
it has been Of the most satisfactory
character. His seed like himself are
reliable. Especially as acclimatized
or Southern seed do we recommend
them to Our farmer friends or amateur
gardeners. Sowingthese seed the grow
er can depend on their yegetating or
growing, and we ADVISE all such to send
to him for a catalogue, and see what he
has, and see what he says for himself.
Dealers in seed also are advised to
confer with him and keep his seed
for sale. Send to J. w. Vandiver,
Weaverville, n. c., and our word for
it. you will not be disappointed.

For THE HERALD.
What Happened Jan. 10th.

An interesting Pound Party came
off at the Germany Academy" on the
night Of January the 18th; and, altho,
out of seeson, Chinquapins furnished
a goodly collection of Buds and Bios
SONS. The buds, from the manner in
which they fitted around the little
Sisses in the dance, fell of full bloom
consequence while theirs was the un-
adulterated enjoyment of "Happy
Childhood" and as they glided through
the dance with the exact precision of
elders, some one nfarked-How grace
full we mentally responding, that
twas the result of the health and
broyant spirits deposited in each little
tenement, acknowledging the divine
architect by instilctive'v Gi pl9ving
the grace and beauty of his handiwork.
Dancing, though largely patronized,
was not the only amusement, for OLD
Leap Year held high revels in faYorite
niches-in one OF which we noticed a
victim attacked by two fair subjects
with proposals that should have made
his heart respond with joy-could he
have chosen between the two; but
both were so perfect In personal and
mental qualifications that the gallant
victim knew not how to choose. One
of the ladies said she had made a
direct proposal and had been rejected;
while the other, believing in maneu-
vering gradually, said that being sur
rounded by Evergreen, while at her
side sat an animate "Gleea." she
would be pleased to sign her name
Ever Green. Pensively answered.
Evermore; then they felt so sweet on
the subject that cardy wasn't at all
recognized. The supper was splendid
not "Hot" but cold; yet warm
hearts bid it speed on its mission,
while willing hands furnished the loco
motive powers. We certainly did
justice to the beautifully deco :ated
table-partaking Of the substantial,
and admiring the ornamental; and the
taste and experience displayed in deco
rating, and furnishing the table with
the most palatable cookies-place our
Chinquapin house-keepers in position
to compete with any OF like persuasion.
Only one ''black bottle" was found,
by one OF our little pupils who said
twas lonesome, which speaks in the
most favorable terns for the gentle
men that composed the party whose
nerfect department made them sub
| jects of kindly remarks by all, and en-
courages exertion in other quarters in
the way Of pleasant recreation. There
fore, no spirits save those of enjoyment
ruled the festival, and could our pleas
urs have been enhanced, 'twauld have
been by the presence Of our jolly
"Auditor" commanding the dancers
to SECT about pert", yet when
twilight drops her curtain, he and
morpheus are such boon companions,
he's courting the society OF the d-owsy
god to the detriment OF all ether.

A Difference of Taste.

A preacher in his Sabbath discourse
abiding to dancing, said he saw no
objection to the practice if the gentle
men would dance in one room and the
ladies in another, the music being be-
tween the two.
The venerable editor of the New
berry Herald says he likes the plan.
No doubt you do, friend Greneker,
and you would want to dance in the
upper room, handy to the chicken fin
ings. We are not so old yet-we'd
rather be with the girls all the time.
led. TINES.
We can't conceive what has come
over the spirit of the patriarch's
dream, and thought that 40 years ago
our Methusaleh had turned his atten-
ton to thoughts of another world,
where dancing girls and feasting are
not tolerated. His preacher is adj
vised to take him in hand if he is not
case hardened. Oh Stokes, Stokes,
you should set better example to the
youth growing up around you. Next
we look for criticism from Wilson
of the Banner.
