Dealers in seed ~also are advised to confer with him and keep his' seed for sale. Send to J. W. Vandiver, Weaverville, N. C., and our word for it. you will not be disappointed. Prosperity Twinkling.

We call our.readers' attention to the value, usefulness, and direct profit of supplying themselves this year with the American Agriculturist, the cheapest as well as the most valuable journal in the country. Every nuiiber contains one hundred columns of original read ing matter, by the leading writers of the country, upon all topics connected with the Farm, Garden, and Household, and nearly one hundred engravings made specially for the American Agri eutu. T paper now in its 43d thnever before. Each number brings fresh evidence that no time or money1 is considered where the interest of the paper is at stake. Its House Plans ad Improvements, profusely illustra ted, are worth more than costly archi tectural works. Its persistent and fearless exposure of Humbugs and swinling schemes, is of great value to the whole country, particularly the faring community. In short it has something good and valuable for every body. Owing to a special arrangement with thePublishers, we are enabled to1 offer the HERALD and the American Agriculturist for one year, and the En- 1 gravings "Foes or Friends?" and "In, the Meadow" for $3.10 (10 cents for packing and postage.) 4-2t.

I am a modest m;n, and a peaceable, I lik- a front place, and every one who knows me knows this, but as every does not know Snif fles, or who he is, I tell them that they may know. I was born, several years ago, under modest circams'ances, at a modest time, and did not even have a shirt to my back; my relatives soon supplied the deficiency, and I throve. I was,born at night, candles were the lights used then, and as I could not see very well, and could not speak the language prevailing Ihad to accept the situation, together with the catnip tea, small doses of which were given at short intervals ; all you see was mo dest. I had nearly forgotten the wea ther, this was blustering, and the time being March, the winds whistled and blew 'gieat guns' as sailors express it. I think the whistling was exceedingly indecorous, and it is affirmed that I criedl, but whether by reason of the whistle or that I wanted more cat nip, (I forgot to say that gin was used in that good old time as a part and con sideration of that tea.) any how it was immodest. My nurse seemed struck with my -love 'for tea, and said that there was the making of a good man in me. That niurses' language was prophetic. 3My manhood has proved its correctness. I have suffered, good men.alone sull'er. This bilwgs me to the point of nmy 'history,'-the various pains which have run riot over my bo dy these many years. The first struck it with surprise, I was not looking for it, pretty soon I began to look for them, for they are regular as pig tracks, and forty times as ugly. Ii was in my ba helor days, and my frame was tender. No wife to soothe. no one to love me, none to caress, ale e in a howling w'l derness, no gentle .i:gers manipulated me. I had to grin and endure. The wifely ministrations now are mine, and they are good. How Ihave n eathered these experiences puzzle me, if one of these would last just a momen t longer, or the screw make oi'e more turn, go just one mite deeper, it seems that Snifles must throw up his hands, and turn the corner. I thixk of my fellow sul'erer, E.11i. Christian, then, he is the only man, who like me knows what pains are ; poor~ fellow, I symp. with him, he's a martyr. Every pain known to a mnan born of woman is known to me. besides those unknown. They come an:i they go, and in their ceaseless fiow go on forever. Soime, kindly inquisitive, want to kro w o w I work undler these circumstances. I answer, between times, he--e a little, there a little, and by the ex'ercise of patience. The novelty too of a change in the character of the pain, and the place where it will spot me next, gives me a kind of rest. I sometimes liken - body to a factory, in which a large -a men work, and as the case "atives are on' a noon may beithe . ight ; the facto day rest, or home e is que,so am I, prettyesoon the quiet isboen, a key'is inserted in the lock, the door is openedl, workmen enter, one seizes a hammer, another a file, or saw, or auger, or monkey wrench, owhat not ; all is life, motion, activi t; justso is Snifiles' workshop started, every nerve, muscle and fibre, is on the stretch ; one fellowv with an auger bores a little, and such a bore, a .newspaper bore is'not comparable to it ; another saws a little, it is a dull saw, and such a saw as I never saw sawv before ; another fellow drives a nail into some loose *pat, and I wish the.t he had lost the ~ art before he f oun 1 it ; ai-other f or es a jack plane over a knot, may be about the knee cap, and it is as plain as day that there y n,o playin' about it. Not always o' this character are they. for sometimes they are long, sometipie s, hort, then straight or crooked, quk ,or slow, covering much or little, eur~ i ing, twisting, perambulating, on thi msurface, under the cuticle, im the mu~ r-. le, in the bone, in the marrowv, herE - there, everywhere.; in the morning, i ur the evening, at midnhit, at cock er n- at seasonable and unseasonableh W- I have had them all1 every ore of 'and expect to try a few moreo samreS sr.

This is a good offer, and our readers will appreciate it. We know not whether the red-sun sets have exerted an influence on the young ladies of this town, or not. Be it as it may, however, there is a sharpness and a bang in their actions, remarkable of notice.

Keep quiet bo -s; do not kick against the traces or you may do. yourselves infinite dam age.

FoR THE HERALD. What Happened Jan. 15th. An interesting Pound Party came off at the "Garmany Academy" on the night of January the 15th ; and, altho, out of serson, Chinquapins furnished a goodly collection of Buds and Blos soms. The buds, from the manner in wvhich they flitted around the little Sisses in the dance, fel. of'full bloom consequence ; while their's was the un adulterated enjoyment of "Happy Childhood," and as they glided through the dance with the e:act precision of elders, some one renfarked-How grace ful ! we mentally respoaiding, that 'twas the result of the health and bLoyant spirits deposited in each little tenement, ackhowledging the divine architect by instiactive' v di dleving the grace and beauty of his hanidiwork. Dancing, though largely patronized was not the only amusement, for Oi Leap Year held high revels in favorite niches-in one of which we noticed a victim attacked by two fair subjects with proposals that should have made his heart respond with joy..eould he have chosen between the two ; but both were so pe..'fect in personal and meixal qualifications that the gallant victim knew not how to choose. One of the ladies said she had made a direct proposal and had been rejected; while the other, believing in maneu vering gradually, said that being sur rounded by Evergreen, while at her side sat an animate "Gieca," she would be pleased to sign her name Ever Green. Pensively answered Evermore ; then they felt so sweet on the subject that ear dy wasn't at all recognized. The supper was splendid -not "Hot" but cold ; yet warm hearts bid it speed on its mission, while willJ.g hands furnished the loco motive powers. We certainly did justice to the beautifully deco -ated table-partaking of the substantial, and admiring the. ornamental; andlthe taste and experience displayed in deco rating, and furnishing the table with the most palatable cookies-place our Chinquapin house-keepers in a position to compete with any of like persuasion. Only one "black bottle" was found, by one of our little pupils who said .twas lonesome, which speaks in the most favorable termna for the gentle men that composed the p arty ; whose perlect dejpotment made them sub sects of kindly remarks by all, and en courages exertion in other quarters in the way of pleasant recreation.
