One morning, quite etrlv, the profoaanr called al
the (tore i-f hia' neighbor, niformiiig him thai be
had purchaaed a lot of excellent laud for iwu dol-lars
an acre, "Aa you 6nd it rather difficult In get
along," aaid Join s. "I will aril ton half tins land—
•bent • Ihouaond acrea—on wl-tch you can double
your money."
"But I am unable In but land at present. I fird
it exceed -ugly difficult to edit cl money enough Io
pay my juai dt bis."
"No mailer for thai. I dnn'i want the money al
prevent. I will lake your mile on tux and nine
month*, and in the mean lime we can act! the land
anil double our money."
Hue VM a strong h inplalioii In W'alaon; bul
when lir considered the dangers nf speculation, and
that ibr Bible aatd.lbal ihoae who would •uddeu-ly
heceme rirh. ahould have mativ anarea, he re-plied,
"I Hunk I will hate nothing to do with Ihe
land."
*'Yuti are unwise, very. New herr- ia a chance
for you to make money—and nfakr it loo in an
honorable way. If you neglect thia opportunity
>ou may neti i have another."
"But suppose arc ahould not (ell the land, where
could I roiae the money ?"
"Hon'l lei thai liouble you ; I will sec that all is
light."
After a great deal of persuasion Mr. W'nlson was
induced Io lake the land and gite his notes. He
ItUVted altogether to his neighbor) who informed
hun tri.ii he knew the land to he worth morn than
double what he gate fir it, nnd Ihere was no doubt
Ihey both wnu'd realize a handsome profit.
A f.w day* after this lianeeclion, Mr. Watson
was inform, d by a fiirml that Ihe laud be had
bought of il..- ptofeteoi waa almoal valueleea,—that
it was i oi actuary worth one dollar an acre—and
thai was all Mr. Jones had git. n for il. Watson
could hnr.lli belli le that he had been so deceived,
and on inquiring nf bis neighbor, mule it appear
■ hat all was right and it would so prove in the end.
But still WataOf, wa« feaiful of Ihe coil", qoencea,
because hi knew very well thai he was unable to
noet Ih.- not.-* when Ihey became due, unless Ibe
and waa sold.
Six months pasard away and the propeity was
unsold; but Wslsnn was told nol to give himsi-ll
any ttouble, Ihal perhaps they might dupoac of il
helnre long. He fell easy, thinking Ilia neighbor
would not present the notes unless the land was
soid. Bul bo waa mistaken. Al Ihe end of Ihc
ralne ino'itue bulb notes were presented for pay-ment.
"It is impossible for me Io raise the money,"
said Watson.
"But you mnsl dispose of some of your properly,"
aaid Jonea, "for I waul my pay, aud uiual have it."
He Was reminded of ihe tranaaelion, bul Jonr-»
did nn! aeem lo recollect any thing further than
thia, that lie waa to pay the notes when they be-came
due. His neighbor left him, and the next
day be received notice of an attachment upon his
house for Iwo thousand d .liars and coats of attach-intuit.
In.vain did Watson see and converse wnli
J-.oes. Ho could get no satisfaction. He owed
il - sat fairly and he most have liispay.
"But you will have lo Bacnfic.o the houae; f-jr
nobody will give what it ■• woilh in these bard
times "
"I ran'* help Ihal, You must get some friend
who has money to bul il in."
•'I have no friend with that •mount, who can
apare it at preaenl. I know nol what cuurae to
pursue, if I am turned out of ihe house."
"O, you will do well enough. You bare money
and friends loo—I will risk )ou any wheie."
When the church heard what J-ncs had done
Ihey censured Walton for entering the land apeeu-laiirn.
"h ia on accouul of his own folly Ihal be
is about to loae his house. If people will specu-late,
wtlh Ihe expectation of making money, Ihey
OHrat suffer Ihc consequences.*'
Nothing wsaaul lu ihe professor. He waa licit
—in regulai standing with them—a bro'btr io thr
church—and could nol do wrong.
The day of the sale had arrived aud ihe nnles
were nol liken care of. Once more W'alaon called
on bia neighbor lo h.-g of him not lo aacrificc ihe
property, or tu turn hint nui nfdoor. "Fur vou
know when 1 bought the land, I waa urg^d lo lake
it against mv will. |i was only Ihe promise ibil I
•iinuid no- be troubled ihal induced lot lo • ign tin
notea.
"A likirlv story, Mr. Wals-n. You kriox I want
toy pay. \\ heni tc r I sign notes I t-xprct lo meel
them, atid sin.-.Id do it, even though I bad to •sen
ficc all my property."
"Bul wbal can I do? I hate a large family on
my band-; ami il is only by prudrnce dial I am a
hie lo keep a'nng without) gelling in d. bt. The
tunes, nui know, are exceedingly hard "
"'ihe house must he sold, and there ia an end of
i!. Til no uso lo whine lo death because necca
my COBjpeU ua lo give up our properly. 'T.« h.-l
ter lu meet il like a Chrisiatii"—and ao aauog hr
walked aw-nr.
The hour f..r lh« sale arrived and the people had
gathered. The first bid lor ihe houae waa made
by a fnend of Junes, whom be bad probably em-ployed
to buy it in. O.ie hundred dollars after an-other
was bid, till the sum off red reached two
thousand sod twenty dollars. And that was Un-hid
ol Jonea'a friend. Joal aa Ihe aurtioncei ws*
striking In* bu.nmrr for ihc last lime, a young man
was seen coming up the street. Just in lime he
hid filly dotlats more, and now the conical was be-tween
lion and Jones'* Iriend; finally ihe house
was kmck'-d uO lo the yuung man fur three thou-sand
dollars.
"Who»e if il T" inquired thr auctioneer.
"Charted Mason," aaid ihe young man, and a
frown was on Ihe blow of Jones.
"Wbal dues Ibis mean T" said be lo ihe young
man.
Without deigning to reply, "Mr. Wdaon !"—said
the purchaser—and the poor man atrpped lo him
weeping—"Mr. Watann I have bought this house
—il was taken from you by Ihe spin! of avarice
—I now make urn a preaenl of H—ihe house is
yours."
The poor man fell on Ihe neck of iho loung man
and embraced him and wrpt like « . In I.I, while Ihe
spcctalnte galbet louod, unable lo solve Ihc invs-lery.
"Chsrlea Mason," said Jones, •• anon a> Walson
srme "you are no longer worthy of my confidence,
srid from Ibis lime I forbid you an entrance to my
house."
'■Wretch ! brgnne !"exclaimed ihe voting m»n,
"yon will yet receive the just reward of your op
prcasion."
Amid Ihe hisses of a few, iho professor hurried
swny. Muttering something which could not be
beard, but bis anger waa aeeo lo bo al ila highest
pitch.
"Come with me my benefaclor, my he»l friend,"
at last said W'alaon through bis lean, and Ibe
young man followed him lo Ihe houae.
The family were weeping. "Dry your lean
• rid bleat Cod," aaid ihe husband and father, as he
closed the rloor, and bid Ihe yuung man lo be ec.it-cd.
"To ihts gentleman we owe eveiy thing ; he
ha* bought lite bouse—but.O tir, explain Ihe mya
lery,"
••Yuu know Mr. Walson,"Mid Charles, •'that I
have been in Ibe »loro of Mr. Jones for many ycara.
I am knowing lo much of his atrange conduct, bul
I am well acquainted with Ihe course he has pursued
towatda you—the manner in which bo ayronged
you. I could not enrliite loscn a poor man brought
into difficulty and then turned nut of dims by ihe
avarice of one who pretends to be a Christian.—
Sir, il it your self denying, Christian condticl and
his spuil of ctil, that has moved me lo thwart hit
deaigM and make vou still happy in your dwelling.
II i« youn. The dei d I have done, •n.ce I have
entered thia room, has made me Ibe happiest of
men."
There waa nol a dry eye present. The family
gathered around llieir berielactor and expressed
their gratitude upon their knera invoking the hie-of
Heaven upun bun—nor would they permit him
to depart without his assurance Ihal be would call
and are Ihem on the following day.
Charles Mason was Iho sou nf a rirh man. who
left hun al his decease several thousand dollars,
which weie now al inleiest. He had spent several
rears in the store nf Mr. Jones, lo whom he bad
loaned part ol his money. The next day, on call-ing
upon bun ho was coolly received-
"1 hate no further use fur your srttirra," said
he. "Such conduct as youra incuts my sovereign
contempt."
"Your conduct, tir, and I do nol hesitate to aay
it, is as far removed from that enjoined by Htm
you profesa lo •cite, aa heav.-o ia from hell. It
must be despised by all honorable nn."
"Enough of your sauce ; let me have no more ol
It, or you shall leave the shop instantly "
"Mr. Junes, bul give me a drall fur what ia due
me and I will trouble ton no more."
Aa Jonea handed il to him be rxc'aiased, "Be-gone,
you wretch !"—and the noble youth walked
iway without deigning lo notic hia rmak.
Charles immediately tattled fur the home Jo-had
purchasrd—look a deed of the land—and put
ibe btUi.ee of bia property into ibe stock of Mr.
Watson, and entered in In copartnership with bint.
Day by day their business increased. Smct
Charles left Jones many of the old customers bad
followed him lo Ihe new store and now gave htm
• heir trade. They had •• much •• Ihey could do.
The conduct of Jonea was spoken of and despised
bv all, while the noble courae of the young man,
waa euiiiiu .'iiil.-il aa worthy of all praiae*.
A iweltcmoolh did not elapse after the young
man went in buaincx with Wilson, before he led
lu Ihe altar as gentle and •• lovely a creature ••

Mr. Walson lived lo three tcole ycara and ten
and then died trusting for salvation in his Redeem

I commit my spirit,"—and bretthed bit last.
Hit remuiiiB were fu-lowed lo the grtve by ihe

AN ADDRESS OF R. II. BAVKDERS,
TO THE PEOPLE OF NORTH CAROLINA.
I had promised al a proper lime, to make a ful
and explicit explanation «f the transactions con-nected
with Ihe late election of United Stairs Se-nator.
This explanation 1 deem alike due lo othris
to mi .elf, and In the public. And at my Congi. *.
siona1 term it about lo expire, I atail myself ol ibia
occasion to make good my promise, I have now
hern nearly tinny yetrtactively eoanccted wilh the
politics of the coun'ry. ll has been my good for*
tune during this long period, to hate er.jvyrd the
.-.infill, ore of the Republican party, and I ahould
deeply regret Ihn just forfeiture of Ihal confidence
by any acl of my own. I flitter mytelf, the facia
I ahall here detail, and the revelation! I ahall oiake
will satisfy the public, my course ;n regird lo Ihe
election of Set ator, haa not been without excu.e,
and Ihoae friends who •loo.l so firmly by me, were
influenced by no faclioua iiinit.es. I know my
conduct was dchotiiiced at anti-republican,aa lead-ing
to diaci.rd ami diaunioA—while I was accused
of courting the W'hig support for Ibe mere love of
place, and the gratification of a tr-lfish ambition-—
To each of Ihese cbsrgcs I plead KOT UCII.TV, and
pul myself on iho country. I assert on the contra-ry,
and expect lo show, I have violated no rulu or
utage of Ihe Repubbcao parly—I have bv no act
<>l mine produced eilh'-r disuoiun or discord in ila
ranka—and so far fiom aeeking to gratify a mere
personal ambition, I had been led into the mailer
by what 1 had Ibe right lo believe, and did believe,
to have bees ihe wishes of the Democratic patty.—
Under Ihis conviction, I resisted what I fell well
satisfied did exist, a hidden and secret combination
againal me personally, and a design ti proscribe me
politically, because of my preferenco for a particu-lar
individual for lha Piesidency. How far Ihtv
belief wat well nr ill founded, you can judge from
the fact* I nnw purpose to detail.
There appeared in ihe Richmond Eoquirer an
Editorial article pending ihe election, calculated
and in'eoded to do me an injury ; holding me. up
aa pressing my claims Tor past aervicea, and deviling
lo "alipin" through ihe aid nf Whig totes. I
gave lo a friend a brief statement of facia, to induce
Ihe I'llitor lo do me justice in Ihe collection nf hie
article, wilh Ihe request not lo publish ihe stale,
ment, as ll might provokes newspaper controversy.
The Fefitor dtsrcgaided ibe request, refuted lo cor}
reel hit article, Iml published the statement at ■ a
communication." I recrived from the Kdiinr of Ihe
Standard, a letter, dated December the 8lh, saving,
be apprehended, in the event nf my elrntion, Ihere
might be a wish In publith whal mighl irritate ihe
public mind ; hut aiya he, "I ahall leave il to your
self .nol .Mr Brown lo publish such matter ss you
may severally think the csae requires, unjir your
men proptr tigmifVrrs." I expressed myself satis-fied
wilh tins course, as a proper one in a conlsst
between friends ; and yet, in Ibe next paper ap-peared
an article wilh p'ofeasioiit of retpecl for ma
hut condemnatory of my friend*, and of Iheir con-duct,
adtisuig my withdrawal, aud iheir support of
Mr. Brown. Again, in Ibe Enquirer of the UOth,
(the election still pending) appeared "A Slairtoeni"
hy I). K. Millar, F.sq , and a letter from Mi. Car-dwrM
wbirh at a propn time, I promised tu nn'.ee.
I am thni particiilai in these references, beclutt
these papers are under lint political Lias which, as
I expect in show, lavs ul the foundation of th.« con-certed
opposition lo mr.
At I hate snul, I bad been drawn into tip* mal-ler
bv what I bull, red lobe th>- wi*!irt of the de-mocratic
party. I proceed "• state what nerurted
before the meeting of the legislature, to abow Ihe
truth of I It i si desertion : Soon after the resell nl our
Stale elections were known, I roeeived aeveial lit-ters
in regard to any being a ra.>di<late fur S. nat..r.
I answered none nf these telt.-is, but r.solved lo
