She met her with "llowdy do, Aunt Marie!"

Think carefully, and if my suspicions wrong you, pardon me the thought, but if otherwise keep more careful guard over yourself in the tutnre, and put yourself out of yourself more, aud in his place, aud when I come to you again, perhaps the dajs yon now deplore as lost will have come to yon again." >♦* Mrs. Hentz did think, that night, the next day aud for several days after her kiud visitor bad goue, and though she said to herself, at first petulantly. " I have done no wrong," yet a constant recurrence to the subject at last brought possible doubt of herself and finally the cer-tain conviction that in all things she had not kept the strict watcb over her ways which was needed to make her home wholly inviting.— She remembered how, a few months after they were married, when Hugh came borne to bis dinner, be ing tired, nervous and out ot sorts, she had sat during the whole meal and the entire nooning almost with-out a wonl and answering him iu monosyllables.

For the Patriot. Mooting in Jafiaraon. ' The Conservatives of Jefferson Township held a meeting at Mc Leansville, on Saturday, June 13th. T. B. Donnell was called to the chair, and J. W. Forbis appointed Secretary. Tbe following preamble and reso-lutions were adopted, WHEREAS, The people of this State are burdened and oppressed with heavy taxes, and whereas we believe this is owing in a great measure to the greatly increased number of places to be filled by ol flees whose salaries and fees are about twiee as large us was paid such officers before the war, when tbe people were much more able to pay high salaries than uow, and to tbe fact that our legislators have fixed their own pur diem at uearly twice as much as was paid members of the legislature previous to the war, and rFaereo*, We can see no just rea-son why the common people should be compelled to pay these heavy taxes, in order to enrich tbo office-holders, when they themselves have to labor hard and arc more pressed to make a living tbau at any former time when they were iu better cir-cumstances, aud rVAerea*, This is a reckless ex travagance in the administration ot every department of the State gov-ernment, and Whereat, The leaders of our par ly aud candidates for public favor were loud in tbeir denunciation ot tbe Republican party for bringing about this state of things, aud Whereat, Our party baviug had a good working majority in the leg-islature tor the last four, have, as we believe, failed to do for tbe peo-ple all that they had a just right to expect, in the way of correcting ex-isting extravagance, aud bad man-agement, therefore, Kesoireil, 1. That we are in favor of lowering the salaries and fees of public officers in all cases where thev amount to more than a reason-able compensation for the time and labor of tbe incumbent, and that we will support no man for the leg islattire who is not iu favor of re-treuchmeut and economy in the management ol our State and coun-ty affairs, and wbo is not willing to serve in the legislature for three dollars per diem. Revolted 2. That we consider the revenue law, that taxed the farmers provisions which he has raised op bis land, on which be has paid a tax, and cultivated with a plow which has beeu taxed, drawn by a horse that has been taxed, before be has had time to realize on it, or even tried to satisfy the cravings of his hunger with it, us an unjust, nneqnal aud oppressive one, not being able to see why the man who who is possessed of au income should be exempt in the first place five hundred dollars, and in the second place exempt entirely if that income is derived Irom property that has been taxed, while the farmer is taxed, tax upon tax of tax Retolved 3. That we believe the true policy of our State to be, and we think our next legislature should exempt Irom taxation for a limited time, all capital hereafter invested iu the manutactureof woolen or cot ton goods, shoes, irons, machinery and farming implements of all kinds, thereby incourage capitalists to come iimting us, and take hold of our abundant facilities for manu-facturing purposes, of all kinds; be lieving that such a course would do more towards building np onr State, giviug us a home market for our surplus products, and infusing life and energy into our owu people, than any other conrse that could be adopted. Rctolttd 4. That our delegates be requested to present these resolu iions to tbo county convention and urge tbeir adoption. Resolved ~>. That if tbe candidates nominated for the legislature will pledge themselves to go for the principles set forth id our first reso-lutions we will give them a cordial support. The following persons were ap-pointed delegates to the county convention, viz: Jas A Stewart, Wm F Thorn, T A Rankin, Dr. J A McLean, and F B McLean T. B. DONNELL, Chm'n. J. W. FORBIS, Setfy.

A New York clergiman, who is a flue singer, on a recent visit to a uiad-bonse approached tbe cell of a maniac, who rushed for bim as far as his chains would allow, shouting, "I'll kill you!" "I'll beat your brains out!" "Clear ont!" * Instead of moving the preacher began to sing "Our Home in Heaven." First the madman listened; tben he stretched him-self out to the full length of bis chain. First one arm relaxed and then tbe other. Tears moistened his eyes. Then he coiled up on bis bed of rags aa quiet as a child. Aud when tbe hymn was ended he looked up, saying, "More, More." Tbe preacher sang until his strength gave way and then he left. as much as if a thuuderbolt bad fallen; it was "Who drove him from home!'' "Who drove bim from home;" cried Mrs. Hentz. "why what a question, surely no one : you would not imagine that I had done so! that I have been unfaithlnl or un-kind to a husband in whose talent and Integritv I had such confidence, and whom 1 admire lor many traits 0reg0n, of character long belore I had cburcL. learned to love him or regard in any nearer relationship than a friend !

The exhilerating exercise work-ed her transformation. It was at New Bedford. The family pbys ician prescribed a drive of sixteen miles a day. In less than two weeks she was Mrs. Patrick O'Shau nessy. Her husband was her pa's coachman. We never respect persons who aim simply to amuse us. There is a vast difference between those wo call amusing men and those we denominate entertaining: we laugh with the former and reflect with the latter. A Mrs. Oliver of Duboque a few days ago gave birth to "hum-ming bird" of a baby, a girl, weighed only one and one-half pounds. Yet it is vigorous and takes its proper food with as much evident relish as young infants usually do. It is but seven inches long, and a finger ring worn by one of the visitors, who called to pay their respects to the little stranger, passed over its hand, and would answer for a bracelet. For Ihe Patriot. Annual Commencement of Trinity College, N. C, June 1, 1874. The day was bright and lovelj and a tolerably large congregation assembled in tbo College Chapel to hear the sermon before the Theo-logical Society by Rev. Charles Phillips, D. D., of Davidson Col lege. His subject was •' Faith," founded upon Hebrews IX, 1. lie discussed thoroughly but plainly the nature ami character of faith ; aud said that faith had to do with two kinds ot thiugs, viz : things ac-cidentally not seen, and things not seeu on account of tbeir invisibility. The sei iiiou was deep, earnest and imptessive, and all were well pleased. June 8. Ou Monday evening sev-en members ol the Freshman class declaimed June 9. Eight members of the Sophnniorc class declaimed on Tiles day evening iu a creditable man-ner. June JO. The sermon belore the Graduating class was preached on Wednesday, at 11 o'clock, A. M., by Bishop J. C. Keener, of New Orleans. His text was from Mat. 1, 3 aud VI; subject, "The tempta-tion of Christ." The application the Bishop made of the text was, that as at that time Christ was a young man just starting out into public life aud was templed of the devil, so the graduating class were young men abont to enter the arena of life, and that they, too, would be tempted iu the very points that would apjiear favorable to their in-terests. Then he held out the ex-ample of Jesus in meeting the devil boldly with truth as the only true method of overcoming temptation aud sin. He spoke earnestly aud beautifully of the necessity ot a de-votion to sound principles, impress ing upon the young men that it is far belter to die by principle than to swerve from the right. Tbe Bishop's theme was a happy solec tion, the application of it wisel) adapted and the large and attentive audience was deeply impressed. At HJ o'clock, I*. IL, the address before "the Literary Societies was delivered by Rev. A. W. Wilson, 1). D., of Washington city. His sub jectwas, " Literature aud Religion." The address was a profound, philo sophic, scholarly production, and yet made so simple that all could uuderstautl and appreciate much ol its beauty. He argued pointedly that the liiblo is the foundation ol all literature. He said that !< 10 ol the literature of tbe world was based U|HOU the writings of St. Paul. He argued closely that Homer was thoroughly religious; that litera ture is the expression of the thoughts and feelings of a nation in any par ticalar age; that the one who gives shape and form by expression to these thoughts aud feelings is what is called a genius ; aud that one ol the most important questions to the youth is the selection of tbeir literature. I have never read nor heard auythiug deeper, richer in philosophy, sublimer iu thought, more elegant in diction, and as much calculated to please, instruct and impress at the same time — Dr. Wilson is, iu the true, sense ol that term, a literary inau, as well as an eloquent preacher. Wednesday evening, six members of the Junior class delivered ora-tions, all of which were well written and elegantly spoken. June 11. The graduating exer-cises commenced at 10} o'clock A. M. The following are the subjects of tbe speeches anil the names ot tbe youug gentlemen who gradu ated w ith A. B.: Latin oration, by W. J. Stroggi, of I.inoir, a. ('-: Work wins the race, by C. C. Lowe, of Randolph, N. C.; Tbe price of being great, by W. P. Craven, of Mecklenburg, N. C.; The literature of love, by G. D. Tyson, of Moore. N. C.; Sectionalism no longer pas stole, by E. T. Boykin, of Trinity ; Dominion of thonght, by John Cooper, of Savannah, Ga.; The dis cipliue of Democracy, by W. W. Staley, of Graham, N. C.; Sustain ing force, by N. C. English, of Bush Hill, N. C.: Material tendencies, by J. M. Stockard, of Graham, N C.; The growth of individuality the I growth of man, by L. 3. Overman, livered in distinct and mellow tones that drew all hearts to him in sym-pathy and admiration. I have at-tended several commencements, but 1 have uever known the Valedictory addresses to receive more compli-ments than those of Mr. Long; and none, I am sure, were ever more justly bestowed. By request Col. Armfield of States-ville delivered the medals. The Bibles were presented by liishop Keener. The Bishop asked the audience to indulge bim a few moments, and said that he was wouderfully but agreeably sur-prised to find snch a high degree of culture at Trinity. Turning to Dr_ Craven, the President, he said, " You have a better thing here than you think you have." The degree of D. D., was eon-fered upon Rev. N. H. i>. Wilson, of Greensboro, N. 0. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon there fell a hard rain which cooled the atmosphere nicely for the party at night. Early in the evening a large company was collected abont the College, and I suppose many confessions aud reciprocations of confessions were made that night. About 9 o'clock a balloon was sent up close to the college. A Brass and string Band gave a pleasing variety to the music. Everything passed ofl well. OBSKRVRS, Study and Reanty.—No girl should lie indifferent to her per-sonal appearance God meant woman to be attractive, and it is one of her duties to carry out this design. But that dress is to do all is more than we can helieve. Just because we love to see girls look well, as well as to live to some purpose, we would urge on them such a course of reading and study as will confer qualities which no modiste cau supply. A well-known author once wrote a pretty essay on the power of education to en-hance beauty, claiming that it absolutely chiseled tbe features, and that he had seen many a clum-sy nose and lip so modified by a thought awakened and active sentiment, as to lie uniecognizablc. A pretty young woman of Louis-ville named Pauline Lesziosky, noted for the beanty of her hair, which had reached the unusual length ol 5 feet, a few nights ago was awakeued aliout 2 o'clock in the morning, experiencing a sensation as if some One was comb-ing her hair, which was loose about her shoulders. As she awoke she saw two men leave the room. When consciousness returned she aroused the family ner mother on entering smelt chloroform, aud found that her daughter's hair hail been cut from the right side of her head, that on the left side being neatly combed. A recent traveler says: "What always impresses me more than anything else in Egypt and Pales-tine has been the entile absence of cheerful aud exhiliarating music especialfy from the children. You never hear them singing in the hnts. I never heard a song that deserved ther name in the streets or houses of Jerusalem. One heavy burden of voiceless sadness rests n|ion that forsaken land. The daughters of music have been brought low. The mirth of the table eeascth, tbe noise of them that rejoice endeth; tbe joy of the harp ceaseth!" A pilot on a Western steamboat crossing the fIrani! Chain, a rocky shallow near the mouth of the Ohio, ou a dark night was uneasy and anxious. Suddenly the barking of a dog was heard nfaroft."There," said the pilot, brightening up, and quickly giving the wheel two or three turns, "I'm all tight, steered by the harking of that dog every night I've passed here for five years " If yon wish to drown yonrself kick and splash about as violently as you can, and yon will soon go to the bottom. But if you remember that you are lighter than wafer, and if yon camly and steadily refrain from drawinj your breath while under tbe water, keep your head raised, and your ■Tall under, yon will soon Irani to float and swim like a duck. The Crying Rird of Florida.— A Jacksonville letter says: A limp kiu, or "crying bird," flew around the boat as we steamed into the lake. This bird is a rare ornlthol-ogic curiosity. It is fonnd only along the St. John's river and its tributaries. It resmIdes a bittern and cries most piteously. What is the difference between a mouse and a girl! One barms the cheese and the other charms the he's. Nothing te-ylics patience like a garden. Vou may go rourd anil watch the opening bud Irom day to day, but it takes its own time, and you cannot urge it on faster than it will. If forced, it is only torn to pieces. All the best resr'ti ol a garden. ii'"r those ot iife, ate slow but regular!] progressive. The body of Alanson Dyer, who died at Balland, Vermont, in March, 1873, of congestion ot the lungs, eras recently dial "iretl for removal. The body Was e imd to be petrified, and weighed near ly 1,200 pounds. At death the weight was 145 pouuds. i
