Til movement is not going to stop. Thle only question Is whether it shall be led by wise men or inad men. Few people have so many reasons as Mr. Gould for hoping that thle atnswer to this problem shall read, "led by wise men." MR.

Fre Trial Botle ofi this Stndar IAnother G.oodeUsge Ta Kmew MsAgg. Edfeore: In my former arti. I W4 thit the route proposed from Cama, Ga. to Wadesboro, N. C., was A"line 9f great possi4diies".. ,*lanaee your peo aog the railroade nOw i, operation 4oz f Bottolf 4Wa40b0ro, more, Washington, Richmond and Raleigh, and thence over the road pro posed, to Lancaster, WIunsboro, Als. ton, Edgefield, Appling, Ga., to Camak, and you will see what is des tined to become one of the grandest or all 'ho great trunk lines from New Or. leans to New York. But it Is not pro posed that Fairfield shall build this road. It Is enough if we weld In our link from Alston to the crossing on the Catawba, near the groat .i-ll, at such point as shall be agreed Upon. After reflection it occurs to me that the Fairfield division should commence at Alston. There is a road no*r about to be commenced at Blackville, In Barnwell county, to come up through Lexington, crossing the C. C. & A. either at Summit or atGflbert Hollow, aid on to Alston, opening up one of the finest corn and timber sections In the South. From Blckville to Barn well C. H. there is already a road, .whilst from Barnwqll C. J. to the Port Royql Railroad Is only a distance of about eleven miles -whIch the Port Royal people are willing and anxions to fill. This accomplished, we have outlet number one to the sea. Again, to tap tho Spartanburg Road above Alston would be to lessen the distance to Asheville, and thence to Cinclinatl but a very few miles; whilst It woild throw us out of the general line, and interfere with the locomotion of pas sengers who would desire to pass over the Greenville & Columbia Railroad, joins at Alston. To cross at Alstoil--yill also be to absorb - the GreenvillMolumbia Railroad from this point to bAmbla; for with the road from olu to Newberry finished, this route, withV1mot cost ly roadway, must be ahando nd terms made with the Winnebo branch, in order to secure the freights for its confrere the C. C. & A. From Winnsboro to a suitable crosbing on the Catawba would be, say, sixteen miles, and from Winnsboro to Alston eleven miles, counting the three miles over the C. C. & A. and the four and one-third miles over the Quarry Branch as already laid. Seven of the eleven miles to Alston pass over a beautiful idge, not crossing even a spring branch. The remaining from Little River is more uneven ground, but could be passed without difficulty. Falirfield, ther is io bull tw e of' road, pro vided our neighbors are interested to continue the line over their territory, or, if it be'decided fm practicable or . the present, then in God's name and for the sake of ou hungry people, let us build the eleven miles to Alston-thereby saving the extra freight on our corn and bmcon from Asheville to Statesville, fromn Statesville to Charlotte and from Char lotte here, by coming directly from Asheville to Alston and thence to Winnsboro. Iosrve that I have not he quarr' TO61.r oi I honesty )believe that the pay oucthae tnese consid erations; but in my next artigle I pro poeto show that thme road wouldi pay fitdid nothing but develop these interests, and the factory sites in the vicinity of Rocky Mont. In conclusion, Messrs. Editors, let mec ask that you will not make as many typog raphical errors in this article al you <cud in my last. And should mny views meet your approbation, come into the fight which I think is a good one and iet us have a meeting at an early day. ONIC oF THE FAnusus8. Gates o. Happiness. All men and women shlould rejoice to remain part child all thuroumgh life, how ever long its course may run. The games, the dance, the ancecdote, the as sembly of friends, the feast, are as much a part of humanity as its natural power to laugh or to perceive the points of wit. Amusement is one of the forms of hu man haapplness. This happiness, like old Thebes, has a hundred gates for its coming andl going-the gate of tears, for mana weeps) when~ he is hiapp$y, amid music or in revisiting his mnother's home, the gate of pensiveness, for he is ha ywhenhe reads "Gray's Elegy" or w inthe rustling autumn leaves; the gate of admiration, for man is hap py amid the beauty of nature and of art; the gate of friendship, when heart finds its companion heart; the gate of hope, for man is happy when the com ing days are p~ictured with these angel figures of expectation. Of these hundred gates of hiappiness amusmemnt -makes one-planned by the Builder of human life. It must open before us and we may all pass in and out as long as thb heart shall remain unbroken by death or grief.-Riev. David Swing. A Boy Love Affair of Washington'. George Washington was a tall, large limbed, shy boy of about fifteen when he fell in love with a girl whom he seems to hmavo met when living with his brother Augustine. 119 calls her, in one of hui letters afterward, a "lowland beauty," and tradition makes her to have been a Miss Grimes, who later married,. and was the mother of one of the young soldiers who served under Wahngo in the War for Independ. ence. Whatever may have been the exact reason that his love Rifair did n'ot prosper-whether ho was- too shy to akale his mind known, or so silent as n~tto show himself to advantage, or so dreet with grave demeanor as to hodhimself too long in reserve, it Is impossible now to say; but I suspect' that one effect was to make him work the harder. Sensible people do not ex pet boys of fifteen to be playing the lover; and George Washington was old for his years, and not likely to a ppear like IA spooney.-JHorace & Boudier, in &t Nich*olas fr Februar.

When his friends, who had not seen him since he fell sick, took a last look at his remains they saw that his hair and beard had turned gray. Then It was discovered that they had been so for years, and that the dark hue of the gentleman's hair had been due to a peculiar hair-dye that he had used for years. It was also found out that hisi. death was caused by this hair-dye. It was deadly poison. and as he drank hot tea and coffee the liquor strained through his mnustache-and carried from it a little of the poison of the hair-dye.
