YOU.

II could have my dearest wish fulfilled,
And take my choice Of all earth's treasures,
too:
And ask from Heaven whatsoc'erI willed,
I'd ask for you.
No nan I'd envy, neither low nor high,
Nor king in castle old or palace new:
I'd hold Golconda's mines less rich than I,
III had you.
Toll and privatiOn. poverty and care.
Undaunted I'd defy, nor fortune woo:
Having my wife, no jewels else I'd wear,
II she were you.
Little I'd care how lovely she might be.
How graced with every charm, how fond, how
true,
Zen though perfection she'd be nought to me
Were she not YOU.
There is more charm for my true, loving heart
In every thing you think, or say. or do.
Than all the joys Of Heaven could e'er impart,
Because it's YOU.

The People Of North Carolina.
Judge Clark at the University.l

Judge Clark at the University
The people Of North Carolina have
shown themselves to be more than
equal to every emergency. OF almost
pure English and Scotch extraction,
nowhere does the love of liberty glow
with steadier and a more. enduring
flame. They were the first to resist
British aggression at Charlotte; they
wrote out the first Declaration OF
American Independence. At Halifax
her Provincial Congress was the first
TO instruct for a national declaration
of separation Of the colonies from
Great Britain. In the hard contest
that followed her people made both
those declarations good. North Car
olina has ever been grander in deeds
than words and has always doomed up
larger in war than peace. In the late
struggle she sent more soldiers to the
field than any other Southern State,
and molly as the Old Dominion did
her duty, North Carolina left more of
her sons dead on Virginia's soil tha'.
Virginia herself Our State grandly
makes history, but, magnifcently in
different to her fame, she leaves it to
others to write it. None fought bet
ter than her sons in the Revolution,
but New England was allowed to
write the record. No soldiery went
farther than hers up the heights at
Gettysburg while the fight was going
on, but after the war is over other
troops are pushed farther up the hill
when it is no longer dangerous to do
so. No one who has ever seen her
soldiers amid the fire Of battle can
fail to say: 81 have seen them do
their duty" Nor Ncy, nor Masscna,
nor the great Frederick, nor Caesar. !
nor any other captain ever led forth
to battle better troops than North
CarolinIans who for four long years
carried the fortunes of the Confeder-
acy upon the points of their bayoncts |
Modest, brave, Enambtious, indif- !
terent to fame, but tenacious of their
rights, loving liberty and approaching
It's blessings, the people of North Car
DINA are a sturdy, an independent
and noble race. Those who know
them best will appreciate them the
most.
the women Of North CAROLINA are
above all praise. They are as true, as
noble, as patriotic as any that history
can boast or that poetic fancy has ever
painted. No wonder their husbands,
sons, brothers and lovers have never
IL TERED in any hour Of their country's
danger, They could not and they
dared not. As gifted Speaker lately
said, our women went into the war
- carrying the standard of the Con
tederacy IN their fair hands and the
cross of Heaven in their hearts
They are peerless, indeed, and true
90 lightwood at heart"
