Gray's Elegy.
[The following lines were composed by
Rev. N. B Cobb, of Fajetteville, N. C,
some years ago in reply to Gray's Elegy,
and went the rounds of the secular press
of the State. They are a reply to the
sentiment expressed by the poet Gray in
that oft-repeated stanza : J
"Foil many a gem of purest ray serene
The dark, DO fathomed eaves of ocean
bear.
Full many a flower is born to blush un-seen,
ADd waste its sweetness on the desert
air." [ Oray'i Sleyy.
No ocean "gem of purest ray asrene'*
Is planted in the deep to perish there ,
No dower on earth is "born to blush un-seen,
And waste its sweetness on the desert
The eye of man may ne'er behold that
gem
"The dark nnfathomed cares of ocean
bear;"
His keenest sense ne'er note the sweet
perfnme
That rose distils upon.the desert air.
Still not one sparkle of that gem ie lost,
And not one breath of fragrance from
the rose;
For round about them are a countless
host,
Who in their splendor revel or repose.
Those "dark, uufathoiued caves" ol ocean
deep
Are not so dark as poets sometimes
write;
There myriads, moving, mingling mon-sters
creep,
And doubtless to them all that gem is
bright.
Within the caverns of the graius of sand,
That He around that desert rose's feet.
A thousand living things, fed by God's
hand,
Find joyous homes—to them that rose
is sweet.
And still if not a creature wandered where
That rose is blooming, or that gem is
laid,
The great Creator, God, w>< placed them
there
Would take delight iu works His hands
have made.
Think not thy worth and work are all un-known
Because no partial peuamon paint thy
praise;
Man may not see nor mind, but God will
own
Thy worth and work and thoughts and
words auci ways.
The desert rose, though never seen by
man,
Is nurtured with a care divinely good ;
The ocean gem, though 'ueath the rolliug
maiu.
la ever brilliant in the eyes ot God.

Adams, Jackson and Clay.
BY HON. R. W. THOMPSON.
Hon. B. W. Thompson, Secretary
of the United States Navy, delivered
a lecture recently in the First Meth-odist
Kpiscopal Chnrcb, Baltimore,
on " Personal Becollections of
Adams, Jacbsoo and Clay." It was
for the beuefit of the preachers' fund
of the Baltimore (Joufereuce. The
lecture was beautifully written, for-cibly,
and almost eloquently, deliv-ered,
replete with passages contain
iug national sentiments that were
applauded, and showed that the
lecturer most have seen mnch of the
three great men. The. lecturer
spoke almost eutirely of the person-al
qualifications, fitness for office,
motives to actiou, and relative agree-ments
and differences of the three.
The most of the lecture was given
over to Adams, and the lecturer's
impressions of his strength and
masterly eloquence as witnessed in
bis triumph over the effort to cen-sure
him in February 1S37 for send-ing
up iu Cougress a petition pur-porting
to come from slaves. In
thai famous trial his vindication of
himself was thorough and complete.
Gilmor, Marshall and Wise were as
children iu the bands of a giant.
IIis reference to the events of his
own career and the service he had
been to his conntry was most inter-esting.
Kveu Marshall could not
but express his admiration. When
he spoke of his services as Minister
to Kussia be was greeted with tre-mendous
applause. Bis triumpn
was a great blow to Gilmor, Wise
and Marshall. lie was a man of un-faltering
courage and most indomi-table
will.
"The first time I saw Jackson,"
*aid the lecturer, " was on the 8th
jl January, 1827—fifty-three years
ago. He had been dete uid for the
presidency three yearn before, and
was running again. I saw bim ride
by on his way from the Hermitage
to the celebration of the victory ot
New Orleans, and the impression
made upou me was that he belong-ed
to lhat class of men who are
stamtted great even by nature. He
was a lieiiutilul rider, which is a
good deal to me, as I was born in
Virginia, arid there they measure a
man's capacity by his expertDesa
and grace iu the saddle. (Laugh-ter.)
I do not think I ever met a
more dignified or graceful mau than
Andrew Jackson. The uext time I
saw him was at bis inauguration,
and my father, who introduced me,
told me then that I was getting on
the other political side already. Iu-stead
of lecturiug me, as 1 supposed
he would, Jackson put his baud on
my head and said. ' Whatever yoor
polities, think always for yourself,
and let conscience be your invar la
ble guide.' Of coarse, my impres-sions
ot a mau like this coald Dot
be otherwise than good. Iu Ibis
respect, at least, I have been s Jack-sou
mau ever since. After be re-constructed
his cabinet, it represen-ted
a unity ot power such as no oth-er
mau could have brought togeth-er
but himself. From that time he
stamped bis name upon the institu-tions
of this conntry as few men bad
before him, and none have since.
What matter if he did not write his
nullification proclamation, which
came from the graceful pen of Liv-ingston.
Washington did not write
all of bis inaugural address, and
even Jefferson is accused of plagiar-izing
a part of the Declaration of
Independence. United States seua
tors and other public men often de-liver
speeches and stand as the au-thors
of documents that are prepar-ed
by others.
The men associated with Clay are
so rapidly passing away that be will
soon be known only by his printed
speeches. His fare and pathos, and
power and manner of delivery can
never be put on paper. He seemed
to strike and play opon all the
chords of the human .heart. His
weie high qualities of mind and
united in the most remarkable way.
He acquired such mastery over an
audience that he coald move it at
bis will. He had, as has been well
said, the thunder and lightning of
eloquence. He had not the bright
and polished diction ot Burke, nor
the chaste and classic style of Web-ster
; but his speeches were the out-pourings
of his nature, and attain-ed
the very highest standard of ora-tory.
His speeches have much iu
common with those of Demosthenes.
In them we look io vain for that
superfluity of brilliancy that comes
from a speaker who is fuller of him-self
than be is of his subject. His
devotion to truth, and his perfect
knowledge of the philosophy of gov-ernment,
were the greatest sources
of his power. a a a
Reminiscences of North Caro-linians.
E. J. Hale, Sr., writes to Bale's
Baleigh Weekly an follows:
"Some fitty years ago, when
Judge Daniel was holding '.he Sup-erior
Courts iu our State, be alwj.s
inquired, wheu trying a case of as-sault
and battery, whether it had
been "a fair fight" or as he express-ed
it "a far fight," being from Hal-ifax
county, where the Virgioiau
pronunciation was customary—and
he governed the measure of penal-ty
according to the evidence ou
that point. A Judge of like mind
has just turned up in Eoglaud,
Lord Justice Bretl, who, iu trying
a case where two young farmers
bad fought, and one struck the
other in the stomach and kicked
bim when he was down, death resul
ting in about an hour, "lamented
the degeneracy of our times." He
could remember when iu no village
iu England would a man fight un-fairly,
for if he did every oue would
scout bim; but now Euglisbmeu
fongbt like cowards. Although
•j^hting was contrary to law, he
bad made up bis mind that if a man
fought fairly he would not punr-h
bim should au accident result from
the tight; but in this case of unfair
ness he sentenced the defendant to
two months' imprisonment. A very
light punishment, it seems to me.
Yon remember, of course, poor
John Gnlhrie's bill in our Legis-lature
on this fighting subject.
Col. Watson of Bobeson, hail in-troduced
a bill to prohibit indict-ments
for slight cases of assault
and battery. Guthrie ridiculed it
out of the House by a bill the title
ot which indicated its character,
viz: "A bill to enable the free peo
pie of North Carolina to fight there
battles in peace." Thus Uol. Wat-son,
by the way, got to be known
as "the huckleberry Colonel," in
consequence of a speech he made
to the "tree people" of Bobeson,
daring the Harrison campaign in
1840, in which he asserted that
"Gen. Harrison did not fight the
battle of Tippeeanoe at ail, but was
at the time in the swamps picking
huckleberries'' His opponent—I
am not sure but that it was Gov
Morebead—took the wind out of
his sails by asking how it happened
that one conUl find hnckleberries to
to pick in lhat cold climate in the
depth of winter! I think the Col
onel, who was a good natnred man,
rather enjojed the joke though it
was at his own expense.
Thinking of Judge Daniel and
bis "far fight," reminds me of an
incident In the same "Tippecanoe
and Tyler too" campaign of 1840.
Morebead and Saunders, the rival
candidates for Governor, were both
from the Virginia border, and both
addicted to the Virginia pronuncia-tion.
Gov. Morebead (.ot tb. n
Governor however.) bad made some
statement of faci, which Saunders
challenged with au emphatic
"Whar r-r does the geutlenian gel
authority lor that I" To which
Morebead replied, "Thar-r-r it is,"
pointing to the document. But
there were giants in those days il
they (lid abuse the Queeu's Bug
lish." -
A New York Lady in Wash-ington
City.
[From the n'olie-Detnocrst ]
Mrs. Dicks Lord visited the Na-tional
Capital during the month ot
February, and took rooms at the
National Hotel, paid a visit of a few
days to Justice Waite's family, and
returned quietly to ber inn. No
announcement ot her preseriee in
the city has been made, and, attend-ed
by a colored man servant and
maid, she lives entirely nlool from
the crowd that is so near her. In
the privacy ot her apartments she
takes her solitary meals. No gloved
flunky at the doorway or liveried
carriage at the curb annonnces her
presence, and few people in the
liouse know that the large, fine
looking woman iu tbo deepest
mourning, who passet occasionally
through the halls, is the celebrated
widow of Mr. Lord.
Her presence is striking and com
mauds attention everywhere. Even
Alexander Stephens, poor, little,
shrivelled, suffering man, looked
with interest at the superb figure
and prood face of the lady who
swept aside her crape draperies and
waited for him to pass, as be came
slowly down the steps on the arm
of his colored valet.
Chief Justice Waite in his Toledo
days was the confidential adviser of
Mr. Hicks, and had the manage
ment ot his property there so that
bis acquaintance with Mrs. Lord is
of some standing.
Her visit here is preparatory to
her departure for Europe, where she
goes to pay a round of visits at Eog
lish conntry houses, and it will be
some-, time before her return to
America.
Rumor had it that saw was soon
to marry Charles O"0onor. but that
is denied, and the great jariet seems
to have been snatched from death
for some other end.
It was confidently said before her
last-mutch that an English noble
maa was the elected.
separate from the garment, and were
often of great splendor. Henry
VIII. was remarkable for bis splen-did
sleeves. Garters, also, were a
most fashionable male ornament.
They were worn externally below
the knee, and became so expensive
and yet so common a luxury, that
we read of men of mean rank wear
iog garters and shoe roses of more
than five pounds in value. They
were made of gold and silver, satin
and velvet, ofteu deeply fringed
with gold.
The Prince of Wales, who was
afterwards George IV., was the first
to countenance bnckskiu breeches
as an indispensable fashionable
morning garment. This article was
made to fit so close to the person
that the maker and a couple of as
sistants were usually required to aid
M the ceremony of trying it on.<!V ' ..f^ed Sl^I aoldler,

Follies of Fashion.
[Potter's American Monthly.'
How strange is the origin of a
fashion I The "abomination of wigs"
was first r.dopted by the Duke of
Anjoti to conceal a personal defect.
Charles the Seventh of France in-troduced
loug coats to hide his ill-made
legs. The absurdly loug
pointed shoes, often two feet iu
length, were introduced by Henry
Plantagenet to cover a very large
excrescence he had on oue of his
feet. When Francis I. was obliged
to wear his hair short on account of
a wound iu bis bead, the crop be-came
the fashion of his court.
Louis XI. of France had the
temerity to crop his hair and shave
his beard at a time when fashion die
t-ied ambrosial locks and flowing
beard. What was the consequence 1
His queen. Eleanor of Aquitainc.ilis
gtrsted at such contempt of appear-ances,
rested not until she procured
a divorce and married ihe Count ol
Anjou, afterward King of England.
Is It too much to suppose that the
interminable wars which followed
upon this alliance were brought
about primarily by the injudicious
conduct of King Lonis? Who will
say, looking upon these and like
farts, that fashion is to be contemn-ed,
or that her changes are un-worthy
the historian's note or the
philosopher's attention t As for the
popular mind, that is, with its usual
sagacity, keenly alive to anything
relating to so important a subject
as dress, as is at once proven by the
common remark in everybody's
mouth, of knowing a man by the
style of bis coat; or, as Captain
Cuttle would put it, "by the cot of
his jib."
First among fashionable follies on
the score of absurdity come the
trunk hose, which were thought iu
dispensable about the middle of
Queen Elisabeth's reign. The coat
is what thedandj ot our limes most
prides himself on. From the time
of Henry VIII. of England, and for
the three succeeding reigns, his
breeches were the objects ol a voting
man's chief solicitude. From a pic-ture
of James the First of England,
in hunting costume, it will be seen
that "the great, rjund, abominable
breech," as it was sty led. then taper
ed down to the knee, and was
slashed all over and covered with
embroidery aud lace. Stays were
sometimes worn beneath the long
waisted doublets of the geutlemeu
to keep them straight and confine
them at the waist. We read of
breeches "almost capable of a bush-el
of wheat," anil of alteralious
which had to be made in the British
Parliament House to ntlord addi-tional
accommodations lor the mem-bers'
seats. It is related of a last
vouug man of the time, that, ou ris-ing
to conclude a visit of ceremony,
be had the misfortune to damage
his nether integuments by a pro
fruding nail in his chair, so that by
the time he gained the door Ihe es-cape
of bran was so rapid as Io
cause a slate of complete collapse.
We learn that a dandy of 10IC wore
a tall hat with a bunch of ribbon on
oue side and a feather on the other,
his face spotted with patches, two
love-locks, one on each side of his
head, which hang down npou his
bosom and are tied with silk ribbons
in boas A mustache encompassed
his mouth. His band or collar,
edged with lace, was tied with band
smugs and secured by a ring. A
tight vest was left partly open. The
cloak was iu those days carried on
the arm. His breeches were adorn-ed
with "many dozens of points at
the knees, and above these, on either
side, were two great bunches ot rib
boo. Of several colors." Ilia legs
were encased in "boot hose tops,
tied above the middle of the calf, as
long as a pair of shirt sleeves, and
double at the ends like a rnff band.
The topa of liif boots were very
large, Iringed with lace, and turned
down as low as his spurs." In bis
right hand he carried a stick, which
he "played with as he straddled
along the street, singing." With
such boots "straddling" was an un
graceful necessity A portrait ol
Sir William Bussell, one of Queen
Elizabeth's most distinguished
courtiers, give some idea ol the style
ol dress among ihe gentlemen ol the
lalter part of her reign. In his im-mense
ruff his "pease-cod bellied
doublet" of thickly quilted black
silk, slashed sleeve, showing a rich
lace uudergarment. With Veuetiau
| hose and stockings of Quest yarn,
I the dandy of those days seems to
! have been an exceedingly still and
I ungainly figure. Sleeves were,
I while in the mode, a very recherche
article ot dress. They were made
actually
pended from the ceiling by machin-ery,
and the wearer descended into
it, endeavoring, partly by tbo inffu
enoe of his natural gravity and part-ly
by the pullings and banlings of
those around bim, to get home into
the shell prepared for him. To walk
io them was a torture, and to get
out of them was no less.
Victoria, on Her Throne.
A Pen I'll lure of Her najmr as Ita
Appeared al the Opening urr.rU*>
ment,
[U. W. Suialley iu New York Tribttue,]
Her Majesty acknowledges the
grave greeting of her lieges by
scarcely more thin a glance ot the
eye. The head bent slightly, perhaps,
but I am not sure. She, t io, walks
slowly; there is no vulgar hurry
about any part of the business. As
she ronnda the corner of (he dais,
her face is turned full toward our
gallery. It is the business of cour-tiers
to say that the Queen looks
always well. For my part, I
tbonght she had grown gray since
last 1 saw her. and that the lines -jl
the temples ami about the month
were cut deeper than ever. It can
never have been more than a comely
face, and there is nothing, strictly
speaking, irr its contour, and noth-ing
in the figure, which cau be cal
led bead if ul oi noble. What
strikes yon, nevertheless, is the air
of authority and the air of stern sin-cerity
which sits upon this royal
brow and marks the least gesture
of the Queen. The sadness of the
face is profoundly touching;
the dignity with which the harden
—Ihe all but intolerable burden of
her lite—is borne, appeals to your
respect. She is here, they say, to
make one* more her sympathy with
the First Miuister of the Crown;
and with the party which, under
bis guidance, has been leading this
country so slrange a dance these
three years past. But politics are
forgotten iu such a presence; and
any criticism oue has to offer is put
decently aside so long as tho wo-man
and the Queen is here.
Wheu she had seated herself up-on
Ihe royal robes spread over the
throne—which she might have
worn, one would think—there is
agaiu a pause, almost solemn, and
there is time to observe the gown
which the majesty of England has
on. The Majesty aud Ihe beauty
of England are lace to face, for
the Princess sils nearly opposite;
and as the Princess is perhaps the
best dreesed woman in the room, so
is the Queen almost the worst. Her
gown is of velvet, with broad long-itudinal
streaks of miniver or er-mine
running down the skirt arid
horizontal trimmings to match
about the body. But you need not
stop to look at it; the Koh-i-noor
glows iu hercorsage, and aminiatiire
crown of diamonds shines above
the stony head. The Princess
Beatrice, in blue velvet, stands by
mother's 6ide, with traces of the
womanly attractiveness which be
longs toher sister Louise, now reign-ing
over the hearts of our Cana-dian
friends. There was some
matyi'uveriug with footstools and
arrangement of traius, and Ihe
Queen's veil had to be extricated
troin the netted work of the throne.

THE REMOVAL OP NORTH CABOLIttA

[From the Charlotte Democrat.]
" Tell us the story of Standiog
Wolf!" cried eager voices, as we
gathered around the fire.
"The Major" slowly filled and
lighted his pipe, and thus begao, in
a sort of reverie, as if the name had
carried him far back into the past:
"Yes that was a sad year for the In
dians—'38—and for the white man
too, at least those of as who had
any sympathy with them. It was a

he shook his head, "and 1 took part

all their lands to the whites. They,

and feared tbey wonld die. They at

to go they would b« left unmolested.
"The Government allowed them
ttrt May, 1838, to leave, aud then at
great expense sent soldiers to drive
out those who still lingered around
their homes. The poor things were
banted down like wild beasts, driv-en
into gangs into the forte, aud
men, women aad children, penned
up like bogs. They were allowed
to take with them only what they
coald carry upon their backs.
'•Wan. yah-kah to ga, oHStandiog
Wolf, was a Christian, a pious man,
who had lived with his family in his
own house, at peace with all men,
happy and contented nntil now. He
was left to enjoy these blessings as
long as possible; but at last the end
drew near, and a squad of soldiers,
commanded by a mnn belonging to
the country, named Hayes, was sent
to bring bim and bis' family into
Fort Linaey, iu what is uow Swain
county, North Carolina.
" They arrived early in the morn-ing,
and found him in his house.
When informed of their business he
stood in silence for some time with
bowed head. Then seeming to re
alizu that resistance was useless.he
turned to his wife and children,
bidding them to prepare to depart.
Silently they put up their little
packs, tied them upon their backs,
and marched out of the In.use. Be
lore Ihe door Standing Wolf hailed,
ami turned to give one more look at
the liouse he was leaving forever.
•• I have tried to live right in that
house," he said, ' anil I had hoped
to die in it, and to be bnried with
my fathers; but now it has turned
out that I must leave it and go into
a far country I know not ! I have but
oue thing to ask of yon,'he said,turn
ing to Hayes, "and lhat is to lei
rne go back into the house aud praj
once with my family."
"The request was at once grant
ad; aud Hayes, having some knowl-edge
ot Ihe language himself, with
fhehelpof the interpreter, gather-ed
the drift of the old Indian's pray-er,
which he afterward said was elo-quent
beyond anything he bad ever
heard.
" Standing Wolf told his Father
in heaven that he put himself and
his family into his hands, and pray
ed him to take care of them ; that
they were driven out they knew not
whither, ami asked God lo go with
them. He then prayed for the
Government that bad taken away
their home; and lastly, for the men
who stood at the door, ready to lead
them away, that God would bless
them tOO. Then he arose from his
knees and told the soldiers be was
now ready to go.
"Hayes was a wicketl, reckless
man, but he said nothing he had
ever seen or heard had impressed
him so powerfully witli the truth ot
the Christian religion as that old
Indian's prayer.
" The Indians were taken to Fort

The Labor Question).
[Potter's Americas Monthly.]
There is a great deal of appre-heuaion
among people who havead-dressed
tbeinsi-lves to the subject
<H labor that the constantly in-creasing
application of labor-saving
Machinery will in the coarse of
time render needless the arms of
the man. The fear is that this will
continue to render the services of
man more and rnor.• useless, or at
least drive him into more desperate
competition with steel aud steam,
until fiaally there is nothing lelt
for bim to do but subside and
starve. We do. uol belie**, how
ever, lhat God created such a genius
as invention for Ihe purpose ol ren-dering
the condition ol man more
deditule and wretched The solu-tion
of this trouble is iu the educa-tion
ol men to the pertor mance ol
skilled work which ihe Improve-ment
of taste and condition will
continue to demand. The idea that
there is a want, of ability to con-sume
all that cau now he produced
is lalse-, as man will always be able
to utilize that which lie produces,
and crave for more. We admit that
the lower grade of labor is being
crushed out, but what is needed to
meet Ibis fact is a belter class ol
things, and an improvement in the
taste, skill, and character ol the
people who must depend U|H>II the
lower grades ol labor for au exis
teoce. One oi the greatest didteol
ties (i) day is not in the organization
of men into Irades-uiiions to de-mand
and insist upon certain con
ditiooa, but in the animosity which
is so prevalent among workingmeu
themselves. While this exists there
cannot be an improvement in their
condition. There must be a rise in
their social condition, superinduced
by education aud a development of
a proper ambition, fidelity and ap-plication.

character is the key lo the advance
