Years may pass over her head, but if benev-

cheerful as when the spring of life opened to
her view. When we look at a good womun,

as when the rose of youth first boomed on her

never fade. In her neighborhood, she is the

This statue has already made no little noise
in the world from two, but widely different
causes. 1t has been more eXtravagantly
Landed, and at the same time more roundly
abused, than any similar work of art that
ever eminated from an American chisel. Sec
tional pride may have had something to do
with the former, for the artist comes from a
region of our country not overstocked with

fountain of sympathy and happiness from

withered hopes, like snow ou the faded

and shrek through its desolate chamber.


Your path may lead you amid trials which
for time seem entirely to impede your pro-

Penury may take the ulace of ease and
plenty; your luxuries may be exchanged
for a single lowly room; the soft couch for
the straw pallet; the rich viands for the
coarse food OF the poor. Summer friends
may forsake you, aud the Implying world
pass you with scarcely a word OF compass
sion.


You may be forced to toll YEARLY. stead

ter fraud and base avarice, which would ex,
tort the last tarthing, till you well nigh turn
in disgust from your fellow beings.


Death may sever the dear ties that bind
you to earth, and leave you in fearful dark
ness.


The noble. manly boy, the sole hope of
your declining years. may be taken sudden
ly from you. while your spirit clings to him
with wild tenacity, which even the shad
ow of the tomb cannot subdue.


But amid all these sad trials and sorrows
DO not come to the conclu ion that nobody
ever deeply afflicted as You are. and
abandon every sweet anticipation of better
days in the unknown future.


Do not lose your faith in human excellence
because your confidence has been betrayed.
nor believe that friendship is only delu-
sion and love only bright phantom which
slides away from your grasp.


Do not think that you are fated to be
miserable because you are disappointed in
Your expec c:ations and baffied in your pur-
suits Do not think that God has forsaken
You when Your way is hedged with thorns,
or rcpiue sinfully when lie calls your dear
one, to the land beyond the grave.


Keep holy trust in Heaven through
every trial; bear adversely with fortitutde,
ard look upward in hours of temptation
and suffering. When your locks ara white.

"A woman should always be neatly and

appearing otherwise


Has she not, sir? What do you call
those five little animals in pink aprons
and pinker cheeks, who hang around her
from morn till dewy eve?' What do you
call the baby, who always wakes just when
he ought to be asleep, and lifts up the full
force of his small lungs just when he ought
to keep still? What do you call the soup,
which must be seasoned to grain of pep
per, and the pudding must be baked Just so
or there will be trouble among the lords of
creation? The coat which must be mended?
the cravats which needs only stitch? the
china that must be washed? the carpets
which must be sweptF We should call
these very respectable excuses for little

most disagreeable sights in the world; her
place is at homep


We are not sure of that either, not if she
wears pretty bonnet, and has cheeks like
the sunny side of a peach, and ripe, cherry
kind of lips. We've seen great many
more disagrceable looking things, and con-
fess to weakness for bright eyes and
pretty hair. Undoubtedly her place is
home, but that is no reason she is to shut
herself up there until she looks like a eel
cry stalk or lump of chalk. Who would
buy the coal and the calico-the marketing
and the new music-if woman is never to
set her foot over the threshold? The man
who wrote that heresy never kept house, zee

From the Raleigh Democratic Press.l


We learn that last week, a young lady
of extraordinary beauty and superior at
tainmentAthe daughter of wealthy and
respectable parents, of Sampson county
attemped to elOpe with negro fellow, the
property of her cousin. To friend. we
are indebted for the following particulars


Their elOpement had been planned for
several weeks, but favorable opportunity
not presenting, it was postponed from time
to time; an opportunity offering favorable
to her nefariOus designs, she told the ne
gro to be in readiness at the designated
place and time When the hour arrived,
she crept silently from her fathers house.
and soon joined the negro, who was wait
ing with horse and buggy which he had
stolen from neighbOr-earrying the bug
gy on his shoulder two hundred yards to
to the main road; the two then left and
proceeded towards the railroad.


Being short of funds, made it necessary
for the lady to call upon one of her fathers
friends, telling him that he Cher father
wished him to loan her 500, at the same
time handing him a note, which upon ex-
animation, proved to be worthless, as it had
no signature affixed. The gentleman in
formed her that he would have willingly
have loaned her the required sum, if her
fathers signature had been to the note,
but as that important part was neglected.
he could not DO it She then went with
the negro to Faison'S Depot, ION the W. &
W. R. R., where she expected to take the
cars and offered the horse and buggy for
sale at terms SO low, that at once aroused
suspicion that all was not as it should
be.


Several questions were put to her, all of
which she answered with so much plausai-
bility, that bystander volunteered to lend
her money, but before doing SO, desired to
see the bill of sale for the negro, which she
affirmed she had. She produced it. but
like the note, it was not signed, and also
contained several other errors The citi-
zens then determined to arrest them, and
acted accordingly, whereupOn the young Ia
dy made clean breast of the whole affair
publicly expressing that rer determine
ton was to marry the black rascal when
she got to the North.


The negro was Immediately taken and
lodged in Clinton jail, but has since been
carried off and disposed Of The young
lady remained at FaisOn's few days, and
then returned to her friends As she is
young and beautiful. of superior accom-
plishments and has numerous relatives and
friends, and heretofore moved in the most
society, it is to be regretted that
she acted 50 improperly and unbecoming a
lady.

champagne, and if the cork comes out once

depreciate the value of the goods


But let men preach, it don't amount to
anything after all. We hold them cap

stockings and the tOOthaches and head
aches they want to be nursed through =

Did you ever see our baby?


Little Tot:
With her eyes so sparkling bright,
And her skin so lily white,
Lips and cheeks of rosy hight


Tell you what,
She is the sweetest baby


In the lot,
All! she is our only darling;


And to me,
All her little ways are witty;
When she sings her little ditty
Evey word is just as pretty


As can be;
Not another in the city


Sweet as she.
You don't think so-you ne'ersaw her;


Wish you could
See her with playthings elattering,
Hear her little tonge chattering,
Little dancing feet come pattering-


Think you woHld
Love her just as well as do,


If you should.
Every grandma's only darling,


Isuppose,
Is as sweet and bright blossom;
Is q treasure to her bosom,
And cheering and enduring


As my rose
Father, spare them to US


Till life's close.
