A Yankee Boy.?A tourist tells the fob j
lowing story : We recently met our friend,!
Dr. Lord, formerly of Boston. He has been
a resident of this section for about six years. |
He was extensively engaged in buying wool, ;
and on one occasion, becoming bewildered |
in the multiplication of the roads over the '
broad prairies, he rode up to a small cabin
inclosed in a clump of locust trees, aud ad-!
dressed a white headed boy perched on the {
top of a hen-coop, with : "Hallo, boy!"
"I reckon you're a stranger," was the re-;
spouse.
"Look here, sonny."
"I ain't your sonny."
"No, not my sonny, but if you will jump i
down and come here, I will give you a dime.
The boy sprang as if alighting from a wasp's
nest, and coming to the stranger, exclaimed :
"Well, old boss, what is it?
"I've lost my way and don't know where
I am. Can you tell me ?"
"Yes; on your horse."
Mr. Lord laughed at the boy's wit, and
handed him a dime.* The boy took the money,
aud looking up with mingled feelings of
wonder and delight, he said :
"Reckon you must have a power of money!"
"Why so, my boy ?"
" 'Cause you slather it away so."
"What's your father's name?" inquired Mr.
Lord.
"Bill Jenks," was the reply.
"Ah! yes, I know him,"exclaimed Mr.
Lord. "He grows wool, doesn't he ?"
"No, but bis sheep does."
"If you knew me, my lad, you would be
more respectful in your replies. I am a
friend of your father's; my name is Lord."
"Oh 1 yes," exclaimed the astonished lad,
"I heard pop read about you in the Bible."
And starting off for the bouse on a dead
run, he bawled at the top of his lungs:
"Mother, mother, the Lord is out here on
horseback and has lost his way!"?Texas Paper.
A Local Canvassing Board.?They
were playing poker, and Pomp held a full
haud. His eyes glistened with conscious triumph
as be put up a ten cent ante and gazed
at his partner expectautly.
"I raises dat ten cents," remarked Pete.
"I goes a quarter more," insinuated Pomp.
"I stand you, and raises another quarter,"
replies Pete.
"I continues on de war-path, and flops
down de last thirty cents," answered Pomp,
placing six nickles on the table.

Pete.
"Full hand," said Pomp, turning his cards.
"What you got ?"
"A pair an' de game am undecided."
"What's dat ? Undecided ! Dis yer chile
takes de pile."
"Not by a long chalk. Dis case will now
be referred to de canvassing board, who will
examine into de particulars. Dar's plenty
more good cards in de pack, and why didn't
I get 'em ? Dar's been intimidation and
fraud, and meanwhile de canvasain' board

reached out his hand.
Then the other side denied the fight of
the board to decide, and when the reporter
left the horrible demon civil war was dancing
a wild dance in the neighborhood, and a policeman
was marching up with a club.
One-eighth or One-twelfth.?Because
he had not studied vulgar fractions, he suffered
in the way thus described :
A Dutchman let bis lands to an oil company
last spring, on condition of receiving oneeighth
of the oil produced. The well proved

chance, and ventured to tell them so.
kim what he wanted. He said
they ought to give him one-twelfth. The
agreement was finally made, with the understanding
that the Dutchman was not to tell
any one.
All went smooth until the next divisionday
came" when our friend was early on
hand to see how much better he would be off
under the new bargain. Eleven barrels were
rolled to one side for the oil men and one for
him. This did not suit him. "How's dish?"
says he; "I think I was to get more es before.
SByJinks you make a mistake."
The matters were explained to him, that
he formerly got one barrel of every eight,
but it was his own proposition to take one of
P every twelve. This revelation took him
aback. He scratched his head, looked cross,
and relieved his swelling breast of feelings of
self-reproach by indignantly remarking :
"Well, by dunder, dat ish de first time as
ever I know'd eight wa3 more as dwelve."
A Climax.?An old man who owns a stall
at the market, took a notion, a few days ago,
to use his spare hours in bettering his education.
Procuring a spellicg-book, his face was
IJ seen behind it whenever trade was dull. He
tired, however, of spelling the words to himself,
and engaged the services of a boy about
thirteen years old, having the next stall, to
hear his lessons. Every thing passed off all
right for two or three days, and then a storm
i arose and a climax came. Holding the book
. in both bands, the boy observed :
>, "We now come to the word 'welcome.'
How do you spell it?"
"Well, I spell it, w-e-l-k-u-m."
"Not correct."
"K-o-m, then."
"No, sir."
"Then it's k-i-m."
"No, sir."
"Boy, don't you lie to me," warned the man.
"I guess I'll resign my office," replied the
lad, as he laid the book down. "I've let you
go and spell cat with a k, horse without an e,
hoy with a double o to it, because you are
old, and I didn't want to hurt your feelings.
^ But when you call me a liar, and do not even
^ kuow how to spell the word, it is time for me
to resign.''
Lively Locality.?A good story is told
of an Irishman who gave evidence before a
Fishery Commission on the west coast of
Ireland. Amongst other questions, as he
seemed rather discursive, and inclined to
aver anything, one of the commissioners
^^asked him "if they had many whales there."
it whales -?" questioned Pat. "Sure ye
^Hray see'm by the dozen, spouting about like

commissioner gravely asked if there were
many dogfish.
"Dogs, begorra I Faix, ye'd say so 'ad ye
passed the night here; sure we can't slape for
the barkin' of them." Lastly, one of the
other commissioners asked "if flying fish
abounded."
The answer was, "Arrah, an' if we didn't
put the shutters up every night, there
wouldn't be a whole pane of glass left in the
house, for the cratures bating against tbim."
This finished the sitting, and the next day
Pat come to ask for his expenses, exclaiming,
in extension of them, "Sure now, honey,
L didn't I swear to everything ye axed me ?"

AGRICULTURE LAWS.
Anciently, the question which most engag- j
ed the atteution of the legislators and rulers
of nations, was how can the supply of food be
made equal to the demand ? In other words,
the chief subject of legislation, in many of the
most civilized nations of antiquity, was how
can the people be fed ? Things have changed
with the march of time. The all-absorbing
question, with no inconsiderable number of
the legislators and rulers of the nations of the
present day, is how can the people be fleeced
and the rulers made rich? It is true that the
advances which have been made in the science
of commerce and the improved modes of
transportation, have, to a very considerable
extent, relieved rulers of the burden of devis?
i .1 .1_
log means for feeding tnose wnora tney ruie.
On the contrary, rulers of modern times devote
the best energies of their jninds in devising
means and in concocting schemes by
which the people can be, peaceably or otherwise,
forced to feed government officials in the
most luxuriant manner.
In America, where the people enjoy so
much liberty, and at the same time have so
little correct knowledge of what liberty meaus,
it is exceedingly unpopular in any legislator
to attempt anything in the way of law making
which is calculated to advance the interest of
the whole country! To save hie own head,
he must be the faithful slave of a party.
With his party, be that party what it may, he
must live or die. The welfare of the whole
country, the prosperity of all the people, is
nothing, compared with the interest of his
party.
It is admitted that agriculture is regarded
in our country as a proper subject of legislation,
and some attention is devoted to it. The
country, the whole country, receives some advantage
from this legislation; but the indi
i i ?Ai?
ViauaiS most proiueu uy me a^i ikuuuiai ?*? reau
are the printer of its documents and its
other officials.
No doubt need be entertained by any one,
whether it is within the province of State legislatures
to enact laws which shall govern and
control those engaged in agricultural pursuits.
Beyond all controversy, the right has been
conceded from the earliest period of the State
governments. In our State, we have a law
defining what is a lawful fence, what consti-'
tutesa trespass, and a multitude of other enactments,
which prove that it is the conceded
right of legislators to control, within restricted
bounds, the agricultural affairs of the
State.
The legislator has the rights and interests
of two parties committed to his care. The
individual is one party, and all the individuals
whom he represents, is the other party.
The rights of the whole can only be protected
by protecting the rights of the, individual.
The whole is made up of single individuals.
It is no difficult matter for a legislator, or a
combination of legislators, to enact a code of
* * - -? i ? ^
laws which will worS to tne advantage ox me
few and to the serious detriment of the many.
A parent may?many parents do?confer
many advantages upon one child, to the serious
detriment of all his other children.
Legislators may do the same thing in reference
to those for whom they are called to legislate.
The interest of the whole country demands
tkal tktt oupply nf fnnd bo Oijuol to tl.o oort
sumption. To pass a law requiring every citizen
to engage in some useful occupation, by
which he may procure a livelihood, would
not be very agreeable to multitudes of free
Americans. They claim the right to do as
they please. In one of the best regulated
and most successful governments', such a law
was enacted and put into rigid execution, and
however un-American it may sound, we boldly
declare that such a law ought to be enacted
and enforced in every State in the Union.
Such a law, righteously administered, would
break up those dens of gamblers aud swindlers,
and make thieves and night-prowlers accountable
to society for what they eat.
Another question which demands, at this
time, the serious attention of our legislators,
is what has been designated "the fence law."
In other words, does the interest of the whole
people of the State demand that the present
fence law should be so changed as to require
atpe)?to.be enclosed and not permitted to run
at large ? The farmers of our country should
think about this subject candidly, and legislators
be instructed in accordance with their
deliberate convictions. Strict justice demauds
that some action be taken with respect to this
question. The rights of individuals should
he sacredly guarded. Every roan's land has
certain metes and bounds. In a few instances,
these bounds are marked by barriers
which prevent intrusion ; in others, no such
barriers exist. Where these barriers do not
exist?whether they be fences or walls, rivers
or creeks?the rightful owner of the land enjoys
no more advantages from it, under the
present fence law, than every other individual
in the community. In fact, he has this simple
right to it beyond his neighbors?the right
to clear it if it be forest, fence and and work it
at any future time. Until it is in some way
j fenced, it is the common property of any one
who may see fit to use it as a pasture ground.
The purchaser has a prospective right to it
...Uink V>ia noiffKKrtrQ Vtaoo nnf ond flint. is nil
"" -V.6-MW.W ,
! Is this just ? Is it right for a few to pasture
the stock of a whole community ? Every one
knows that the practice of the present system
prevents uncultivated lands from improving.
The owners of the common pasture grounds
are suffering a continual loss.
But there is another aspect in which this
thing presents itself. Right or wrong, our
fathers cut down the forests of our couutry.
We feel safe in saying that outside of the old
j field pines, there is not enough of timber in j
| the State ofSouth Carolina to put a good and
j lawful fence around the lands at present cul- i
j tivated. A few in every community have an
! abundance of timber to supply all the demand
; for many years to come. The number of these
i individuals is exceedingly few. The interest
of the majority demands that something be
done to cause less drain upon the forest. In
a few years it will be absolutely impossible
for some sections of our State to put a fence
around the cultivated lands. The old field
will afford fire wood, but not fire wood and
fence rails. It will come to that point in a
few years that a virtue will have to be made
of necessity, and the present fence law-changed.
We are candidly of the opinion that the
j sooner this change is made, the better it will
be for the whole country. It can only be
done by legislation, and this legislation should
be an exponent of the wishes of the whole
people, or rather of the land holders of the
; State.

Lorenzo Dow Matched?-There are persons
still living who heard Lorenzo Dow
preach, and who recollect and relate many
amusing circumstances connected with the
ministry of this long-bearded, long-haired, eccentric
wanderer, who traversed land and sea,
preaching the gospel of Christ, but exhibiting
characteristic oddities which hardly pertained
to either law or gospel. Elder Pike tells of
an instance which occurred when he- was a
lad, when Dow, notwithstanding his wit ?md
keenness, found his match. Dow was announced
to preach in the morning at a certain
meeting house, and in the afternoon was to
be followed by a woman named Clarissa Dau?
forth. Although Lorenzo Dow was regarded
us somewhat liberal and irregular in his views
and practices, and favorable to some forms of
gospel labor on the part of women, his text
for the morning discourse was :?
"It is a shame for a womau to speak in the
church," 1 Cor. xiv: 35. The sermon of couM
had no lack of point, and the circumstaaces
of its delivery gave it the interest of special
application to the occasion.
The congregation listened to Dow's view of
the Subject, and in the afternoon gathered to
hear the woman preacher, Clarissa Danforth,
who arose and announced as her text: "Doth
not even nature itself teach you that if a man
have long hair it is-a shame onto him?" 1
Cor. xi:14. . *f
For once Dow bad fonnd bis equal. The
parallel between the two sermons was complete
and he found that long hair flowing on his
shoulders, was as much "a shame" to a man,
as speaking in the church could be to any woman
; while any argument drawn from the
change of circumstances and customs, which
made it allowable for him to wear long hair,
was quite as pertinent in her cose as his owpr
He accepted the situation gracefully, and^at
the close of the discourse said : "Well, sister
Clarissa, you may preach, and I will wear my
long hair'." - / u w , / w
Perhaps others, if brought to a similar-test,
would 6nd themselves equally inconsistent in
some of their applications of Scripture, and
in the restrictions which they lay on the lib?
erty of others. "Happy is he that doth not
condemn himself in that thing which he alloweth."
Romans xiv: 22. > 1 ? *

In thk Nick of Time.?JSsek llopkibs
was the first regularly commissioned naval
commander of the American colonies. In
November, 1775, he received from tbe?bnl(neotal
Congress a commission naming him
Commodore and Commander-in-chief of.the
Navy. His first squadron consisted of four
ships and three sloops. Paul Jones was a
lieutenunt under him at that time. The fleet
was ready for sailing, aud Congress supposed
another day would find it under way; but
Hopkins would not sail without battle lanterns,
and not oue bad been provided, nor
was it kuown where they fcould be procured.
On the very day following the presentation <fi'
this want to Congress, the post brought official
information that Capain Manly,, of the
Yankee privateer, "Lee," com'miskibhed by
General Washington, had captured aud taken
into Cape Ann, Mass., the British ordnance
brig, "Nancy," on board of which had been
found not only an invaluable store of arms
and ammunition for the army, but the battlelanterus
required by Commodore Hopkins.
On another occasion, while Congress wa?
in session at Philadelphia, two thousand muskets
were required for the arming of a force
that had been raised for an emergency. Whilg
Mr. Wilson, of Pennsylvania, was speaking
on the subject, and pressing home the fact
that, however distressing the labor might be,
the muskets must be obtained, the door-keeper
touched him upon the shoulder, and called
him out, and in one of the ante-rooms introduced
him to the captain of a vessel that had
just arrived from the sea. Shortly afterwards,
Mr. Wilson, with beaming face, returned to
his seat, and terminated the busiuess before
Congress by informing the members that an
American privateer had just arrived with the
requisite number of muskets on board, on account
of the United States.
Not a Bad Speech.?Mr. Ben. H. Hill,
of Georgia, made a congratulatory address to
hia fellow-citizens at Athens before leaving
for Washington, speaking on the supposition
that Gov. Tiiden was elected. In it be said :
"My Southern countrymen, the opportunity
for our revenge has come at last, aud let it be
thorough and complete. But how shall we
take revenge upon our enemies? Not by invading
their country, nor burning their houses,
nor insulting their women! Not by placing
disabilities upon their great men, nor by
disfranchising their people 1 Not by placing
them under the rule of! ignorance aud crime,
reconstructing their States, and using the army
to protect their robbers! No, no! We

revenge by giving thetn what their own Republican
leaders have been unable and unwilling
to give them?honest, peaceful, constitutional
government. We will labor for
our whole country, and oppress no part of it.
We will breed no carpet-baggers, disperse no
Legislatures, and deprive no invalid soldiers
of their pensious. We shall guard carefully
the public credit and pay faithfully the public
debt. We shall make every foot of our
soil sacred to freemen, and every freeman
proud that he is an American citizen. Finally,
we shall now build again our desolate
South, and make it brighter, happier, and
more prosperous thau ever before. Our children
shall love it as the dearest land under
the sun?once deceived and often wronged,
but always honorable and brave and forgiving."

fiSaT The Philadelphia Times says that at the
recent meeting of the State Central Committee
in Harrisburg, it was apparent that the
rural Democrats had on their war paint, and
were likely to execute the fiercest sort of a
war dance, and, perhaps, take a few scalps
before the day was over. Exactly what was
to be doue nobody seemed to know, but the
old remark about the arrival of the time for
action was heard more than once. One gentleman
thought steps should be taken to organize
a force of two hundred thousaud special
constables to protect the rights of the
House of Representatives in the business of
counting the electoral vote. Another was
disposed to enlist a grand inauguration guard
for President Tilden, and pledged himself to
raise 2,800 men for the purpose at twenty-four
hours' notice, with Republicans among them at
that, and the best soldier in western Pennsylvania
at the head. Others had no specific
measure to propose, but thought that Sara
Randall ought to be assured of a backing,
and it might be advantageous to "point with
nrifV t.n Senator Wallace. All said their
1 people were conffdent ofTilden'a election, and
determined to see that he was seated. "Just
let Uncle Sam give the word, and we are
\ ready," was the cheerful assurance given by
oue rural delegate and echoed by many.

And hold enough of shining stuff,
For charity is cold.
But place not all your hopes and trust
In what the deep mine brings,
Wo cannot live on fellow dust
Unmixed with purer things;
And he who piles up wealth alone
Will often have to stand
Beside his ooffer-chest, and own

Must lend a helping hand,
For those that talk, vet fail, to do,
But "build upon the sand."

THE BIBLE AND CREATION.
Every man has something peculiar About
him which djstinguishesbim from every other
individual of the race. His walk, his tones
of voice, his smiles and his frowns are his own
and serve to cause him to be easily recognized.
Every author has a style that, in a particular
sense, is his own. It matters not whom he
may choose as a model; still, self will be manifest
in every word he speaks and in evefy
sentence he writes.
In the world there is a book that is known
all ovef thirdiviliied wotfd'afc the Bible. We
hazard nothing in asserting, most positively,
that the book, fthich all civilized people call
the Bible, had an author. > Any other supposition
would be most absurd. Farther we assert,
the Bible must be the production of oi/e
mind. This declaration is proven by the Bihle
itself. It was composed, Oiat is, the mechanical
part of the Bible, was performed by
a great number of individuals^- living in periods
of time atsevera] hundreds of years disp
tant from each other. 8orae of those men who
acted as scribes in getting up the book we
call the Bible, were learned, whilstothers were
very illiterate. They were generally men of
no scientific knowledge. They all lived in
times when whit "we now call *the natural
sciences, had received very little attention.
CJpnlrwyw and tho snipnnes wbirh
vvv,"ft;' ? j ?? ?
ara-now taught io-oll oar schools.- had never
been thoaglhfc of byf many 6fih<f indiviHuala
who got up the portions of the Bible ascribed
to them.
The-first remarkable thing about the Bible
is, that although gotten up by different men
at various periods in the history of the world,
there is a perfect harmony, so far as facts and
principles are concerned, between each one
and all the rest. From the beginning of Genesis
to the end of Revelation, not one contradiction
has ever been found. No single individual
can write a book of one-tenth the number
of pages that are in the Bible, without
flatly contradicting himself. The contradictions
would be numerous, were the.composing
t/f illo br/ok bo catcu<l tbli'Ugll QUIttDCl Of
years. ' ' .
The scientific accuracy of the Bible is truly
wonderful. A class of would-be wise men,
have searched for hundreds of years to find iu
the Bible some statement that is contradicted
by science. They have not succeeded. ^They
have failed, most signally failed. The very
names of these scientific men, falsely so-called,
rot. They flourish for a few years, lead away
the silly, and then fade and die, only to be remembered
and laughed at on:account of their
absurd folly.
Now we may ask, could any man, unassisted
by supernatural wisdom, write the Bible?
No man ever has succeeded in even creditably
imitating the style of the Bible. The very
words chosen to convey the thoughts of the
author are totally unlike the words of man.
So far as style is concerned, there never has
been a book written by any man, in any age
of the world, that in any thing but the faintest
degree, resembled the Bible.
In the Bible and in the works of creation,
there is a wonderful resemblance. The order
!- .i - T>^.1
is me same. nmuci iu uum mcic id a peculiar
ignoring of every thing that theologians
and scientific men call order. In both, all is
confusion, and yet there is no confounding.
In the Bible there are no labored essays on
any doctrine taught History, poetry and
law are found scattered all through the book.
In the same short sentence is often contained
a most precious promise and a startling de>
nouncement. V: '
The truths of the Bible are scattered all
through it from beginning to end,.just as the
beauties of creation are scattered over the face
of the earth, the canopy of the sky, and the
busom of the ocean. It matters not in what
part of the universe you are, what you see or
where you see it, you discover in creation
convincing evidence of almighty power, infinite
wisdom and unspeakable goodness. Open
the Bible when you may?either in the law,
the prophets or the psalms?and the same
grand sight is preented to your view.
It is a remarkable fact that as yet no writer
has succeeded in imitating the style of the
Bible; so no painter orsculptor has succeeded
in imitating, with the brush or chisel, the works
of creatioQ. It matters not how skillful the
paioter may be, how correct his taste, how
accurate his eye, his work; when done, is,
when compared with his copy, miserably
dauby. The author of the Bible must be the
creator of the world and the governor of the
universe.
We all have Faults.?I have been a
good deal up and down in the world, and I
never did see either a perfect horse or a perfect
man, and I never shall until two Sabbaths
come together. The old sayiug is, "Lifeless,
faultless." Of dead men we should say nothing
but good, but as for the living, they are i
all tarred more or less with the black brush, j
j and half an eye can see it Every head bas !
I a soft place in it, and every heart has its black !
1 drop. Every.rose has its prickles, and every I
day its night. Even the sun shows spots, and
: the skies are durkeued with clouds. Nobody j
is so -wile but be hastily enough to stock a
stall at Vanity Fair. YVhere I could not see ;
J the fool's cap, I have, nevertheless, heard the ;
' bells jingle. As there is no sunshine without
, some shadow, so is all human good mixed up
with more or less evil; even poor law guar!
dians have theirrfailings j and parish beadles
are not wholly of heavenly nature. The best
wine has its lees. All meu'B faults are not:
written on their foreheads, and it's quite as 1
well they are not, or hats would need wide
brims; yet assure as eggs are eggs, faults of
some sort nestle in every man's bosom. There's
no telling when a man's sins may show them*
selves, for hares pop out of a ditoh just wheq
i you are not looking for them.- A horse that
is weak in the legs may not stumble for.a
i mile or two, but it's in him, and the rider had
*
better hold him up well. The tabby-cat is
not lapping milk just now, but leave the dairy
door opfcn, and we will see if she is not as
bad a thief as the kitten. There's fire ill the
flint, cool as it looks; wait till the steel gets'
a knock at it, and you will see. Everybody
can read that riddle, but it is not everybody
that will remember to keep his gunpowder
out of the way of the candle.?John Ploughman.

- ANNOUOEMENT.
ON the 16th day of November, 1876, end W the
city or Raleigh, the undersigned commenced
the publication of
THE OBSERVER,
a DATLY and WEEKLY Democratic newspaper.
Of long experience in tbeir profession as editors
respectively of the Fayettevilie Observer and tbe
Wilmington Journal, they do not affect to doubt
the soundness of tbe general Judgment 'which as- .
signs them ability to ftirnish a newspaper snfted
to the needs and adapted to the tastes of the people o
of North Carolina. Differing in politics in the
olden time, there was never a difference between 'J
the Observer and the Journdl in teal fbr the fritereets
and honor of North Carolina; To promote J
the one, and to nphold and add to the other, will
be the object of THE OBSERVER now. T
Of very decided opinions on questions of public
interest, and apt to give thoeeopinionsplain
expression, they deem it the flrrtdoty pf, a newspaper
to fornish its readers with the information
necessary to the formation of their opinions?to
publish all "the new* ;" and their purpose is to
make THE OBSERVER, now aaor old, atrntbftil,
accurate, condensed history of the times in
which we live. It was thus that "the old Observer"
won its hold upon the people of North Carolina,
enjoying the affection of Its party friends, receiving
tne respect and confidence or its bitterest
political foes, end commanding in its comparatively
isolated location n circulation larger than .
jhas ever l>een attained by any other North Carolina
newspaper; and it hrthns, by like dignity and
fairness, that the editors of THE OBSERVER,
transferred to the State capital, hope it will deserve.
and soon equal, and then surpass, its former
circulation ana prosperity.
