Real and Ideal Happiness. ,?, .

"'.V* ', . ^ ~~; , ? :
From time immemorial, and among men
of all ages, classes and'conditions, ono desire
has reigned superior to all others: the desire
for happiness; yet how few bavo ever ai^taiucd
it? how few lmv#r evei; gained the
prize for which they have so intensely striven f
Very naturally the questiou arises, Why s
surrounded by all tlie pleasures of life, still
reaches forward to grasp some unsubstantial
phantom of the imagination, still rushes forward
to seize some ignis-fatuus of the fancy,
which perchance may lead to destruction.
Royalty surrounded by luxuries and clothed
in costly attirfe, sighbenoath those jeweled
robes for freedom and happiness. Methinks
I hear one Steeped ii^poverty, exclaim
: can tho mighty prince who wields
tfa? sceptre of empire, sigh for more than
that whion he already possesses? enchanting
pleasures cncirclo Lis footsteps, the flowers
of joy spring up around him, could I
but exchange places, my happiness would
be cpsiad^nriM|?oi[ally mistaken are both
Priiihd|^^^^K because they both alike
seek^flflHl^ffiuicr than the real. The
former can alone find his in tho rigorous
dischWge of duty ; the latter in the patient
bearing of the ills of poverty ; aliko for both
liavo tho flowers of happiness been planted j
hv their Creator, but they caunot gather
them.
See you that noble statosmnn, exalted to
the highest position fvhicli his country can
confer; he is beloved, respected, admired,
the whole nation bow down before him to
do him homage; yet all this availeth him
nothing for thero is still a Mordeeai in tl?c
gate. Yet in that proud heart some of those
sweet homo affections still linger; but too
soon prido and ambition creep in like theives
of the night, committing those devestations
in which they delight; uprooting the social
affections and destroying forever those religous
principles which in childhood had been
implanted by a fond mother. Onward he
moves in his bold career, winning every
heart by that burning eloquence, pouring it
forth like the foaming torrent until we are
lost in wonder as wc view tho erratic course
of his towering gonitis. Is lie happy ? we
l.inL- in,! T< tin not. riiii-siiinrr thft Idonl
Phantom?ambition ? lias lie not sacrificed
upon this unhallowed altar the purest affections
of the heart? Where is that gentle
creature, who for his sake lcfl all the endearing
ties of her girlhood ? &ho lives neglected
in her sumptuous home. Summer
friends surround her as butterflies flit around
the brightest flowers. They raise the poison
cd cup of flattery to her lips?they speak
of her surpassing beauty?of her husband's
commanding genius. Think you the flowera
of happiness can spring in that wounded
spirit? Nay, for she too seeks the ideal
rather than real. "She has made to herself
idols, and then found them clay."
Is real happiness then a phantom? Can it
never be found ? Alas, for humanity 1 the
neat is so mingled with the ideal, thnt it is
with difficulty' they can be separated, and
yet one is peac# and conhmtnw&Vwhilst ^,e
othor leads the aoul iuto darljufew and the
shadow of death.
Let us search still farther. Look at that
real white cottage reposing in the quietshade
of those old oaks. Tis ovcnincr. and a holv
o? J
calm is resting upon nature, and the hearts
of those cottage dwellers. Tlio father who
lias just returned from the toils of the day, is
receiving the glad caresses of his children,
and the mild welcome of his beloved wife.?
'flic frugal evening meal is over. Tim Holy
Hible is brought forth and its sacred
truths proclaimed to that listening group of
young living hearts?and now they kneel
in prayer.
Tread lightly, breathe so/Uy! disturb
not, the repose of this sacred hour, when all
tlibugfa am turned to God.
This, then, is the sonrce of all truo happiness,
to lose ourselves in God; and whether
poverty or richer attend us, whether joy or

North Carolina.
Ik the history of the "Old North State"
its she is otten times called, is much to be.
found pleasing, interesting aud inat(pctivo.
Her early history, in particular, abounds in
incidents well calculated to inspire the peb
of the historical writer, and awaken lively
and varied emotions of pleasure, patriotism
and courage, within the botom of the reader.
When the sentiments of liberty first began
to dawn in the hearts of tho early settlers
of this country, the inhabitants of this
State early showed strong indications of determined
resistance to the oppressions of
Great Britian.
Tho conduct of tho mother country towards
the American colonies, was that of an
unjust and cruel tyruny to his subjects; disregarding
their complaints and adding injury
to injury, and insult to insult. The
course of England towards North Carolina
was so oppressive that long before any concert
of action was had between the colonies
for the purpose of resisting successfully the
oontined encroachments upon their rights
and liberties, tliat our own citizens formed
themselves into organized bodies to protect
themselves from injury and iusult.
The Stamp Act so justly odious to tho colonies
excited in a great degree the fiercer foelings
of our nature in the bosoms of the colonists
; aud to this oppression North Carolina
offered resistance worthy the most consuiuato
spirits of ohivalry. The conduct of
Col. Asiir, and Col. Wadpkll in preventing
tho landing of the I>iligciico, a Sloop-of-W&r,
laden with stomp paper for the use of tho
colonies in seventeen hundred and sixty-five,
is "much more decided in its character, more
\?i*i a ivn nv>livu^ m/U llli'lC IIIi|JUIUIII(? 10]
its results," than the throwing overboard a
cargo of Tea in Boston Harbor. This act no
"worthy of all Grecian or Itoman fame," is
known to but few of her sons, whilst that of
the famous Tea party of Boston, "adorns the
picture books of our nurseries, and is kuowu
in the remotest borders of the republic."
The first blood spilled in the colonics, iu
resistance to the actions of British rulers and
oppressions by the English government, was
at the battle of Alamance, between the Regulators
and the Royal forces under Gov.
Tnvox.
The breach already mado between the
colonics and the mother country, grew wider
and wider, and the storm of the Revolution'was
fast brewing. Angry and protracted
conflicts between tho Governor and Legislative
body, on tho subject of tho attachment
laws, and tho appointment of judges, were
so serious, that for a long time tho colony
was without tho legal administration of the
existing laws. The whole colony was in a
state of the most lamentable anarchy and confusion.
The courts being closed, crime and
injustice had no check. The wrongs caused
by the obitinacy of the Governor, excited the
minds of the people to resentment against
the government. In such a state of affairs,
the people wero impelled by the laws of selfpreservation
to unite in a deliberative capacity,
to concert measures for their safety and
protection.
Under such circumstances^.tho convention
assembled at Meclenburgh, and declared
themselves by right, a and independent
people." V ' JSPP
rpi . - 1 *1? ? - ? * " 1
me lnuepcnajflp prooeetiing ot tins convention
at 0fece gave character to the North
Carolinian^ Ihnd "with war in each heart,
and freedom on each brow," wero ready for
the clash of amis, and the roar of artillery.
Nobly did she enter into the conflict, and tho
blood of her brave sons moistened many of
the battle-fields of the revolution.
At Camden, with tho gallant Cabwsix,
they nobly sustained the shock of battle, and
their blood flowed freely with the bravo 1>kKai.h,
a lono foreigner whose sentiments of
freedom had boon strengthened by the oj>pressions
of tho "old world."
IIcr judicial h;.3tc.y is r.ot less interesting
than her military. Valor ia always to be
admired, and ia necessary to vindicate rights
and re<lrca? wrong and oppression; but, unless
tli680 are guarded by patriotic, faithful and
competent civil functionaries, tho welfare
and happiness of the community must suffer.
In the formation of the Constitution,
amidst the most exciting period of our couutry,
she displayed a cool oonsiderntoneea, rarely
fo be met with in tho historic annals of
any nation or people.
Naturo lias given her a productive soil,
salubrious atmosphere, and every other natural
advantage, when properly developed to
constitute the elements of an advancing
community.
She ia now a competitor in tha great race
of internal improvements. Several Railroads
and Canals aro contributing their aid to thfl
prosperity of the State. Schools, Oollegdl
and Newspapers are daily desseminating
light and intelligence auiongst her sons and
our great confodurxcy.

The Burning of the Bichmond Theatre.
"I was but a boy, and lived in tho city of
Richmond, Virginia, when the theatre was
destroyed by fire in Deocmber, 1811, and
seventy-five persons perished. 1 had a brother
older than myself, who resided there at
the same time. During the day which preceded
the fire he approached me. hanaincr
me A dollar, Arid raying he supposed 1 wanted
to attend the theatre in tlie evening. On
my leaving home to reside in the city, my
mother had charged me not to go to the
theatre ; this I told him, adding, I can't disobey
my mother. Upon this, he took back
the dollar he hod given me, expressing much
contempt for my course. I was willing indeed,
and even anxious to retain the dollar,
but not as the means of violating my mother's
command.
'Night came and my brother attended the
theatre, accompanied by A young lady of the
city to whom he was shortly to be married.
I retired to bed at an early hour, and kuew
nothing of the tire until after sunrise. Then
I learned tliat the young lady had perished
in the flames, and that my brothor, in his efforts
to save her, had narrowly escaped death.
This bereavement was to him a source of overwhelming
grief, and he kept his room
closely for nearly a mouth afterwards. lie
never subsequently said aught to mo in reference
to the theatre, or as to my course in refusing
to attend."
The above was related to me by Pr.
F , now an esteemed minister of the gospel
in North Carolina. Notice, 1. The
tiinAtrA wfis new fn lnm nn/1 Iia mirrlif 1io?a
made this a plea for going. 2. It would
have coat him nothing, the price of admission
being proffered him as a gift 3. The example
of an older brother was before him,
and presented a strong inducement to go.?
4. Ilia mother was at soiuo distance from
the place, and it was very likely that she
would never have heard of her son's disobedience.
Rut the noble boy firmly adhered
to his resolution, "/can't ditobey my motherTho
voice of God seems to have blended
with tho mother's charge, thus restraining
the footsteps of her son, and in all probability
saving his soul as well as body from
death.?American Me&tcnoer.
How to Hear the Gospel.
Rowland Ilill paid a visit to an old friend
a few years before his death, who said to him,
"Mr. Ilill, it is just tixty-Jiee yeart since I
beard you preach, and Ireinemi>or your text
and part of your sermon. You told us that
some people were very squeamish about the
delivery of different ministers who preached
the same gospel. You said, 'Suppose you
were attending to hear a will read, where
you expected a legacy left you, would you
employ tho timo in criticizing the manner in
which the lawyer read it ? No, you would
not; you would lie giving all ear to hear if
any thing was left to you, and how much it
was. That is the way I would advise you
to hear the gospel.'"
Good advice, well worth remembering sixty-fiv*
years.
The Fool's Rktroof.?There 77as a certain
nobleman, says liishop Hall, who kept
a fool, to whom lie one day gnve a staff,
with charge to keep it until lie should meet
with one who was a greater fool than him self.
Not many years after the nobleman
fell sick, even unto death. The fool cam* to
see him; his sick lord said to him?
WI must shortly leave."
"And whither art thou going?" said the
fool.
"Into another world," replied his lordship.
"And when will you come back again ?
?within a month i"
"No."
"Within a year?"
"No."
"When then ?"
"Never."
uNever /" said tho fool; "and what provisions
hast thou made for thy ttiteitninment
there, whither thou goest ?
"None at a!l."
"No!" said the fool; "none at. all!?
Hero, take my staff, for with all my folly, I
am not guilty ofsach folly as this."
A Sensible Will.?The following is the
copy of a will left by a man who chocs tj he
hi* own lawyer: "This is the last will and
testament of mo, John Thomas. I wil give
all mv things to my relations, to t?e divided
amongst them the best way they oan.
"N. B. If any body kicks up a row, or
makes a fuss about it, he isn't to have a
