KISSES.
ISY AN OLD BAOHELOR
Bitting to-night in my chamber,
A bachelor rigid and lonely,
I kiss tii_• end of my pipe stem—
Th'nt, and that only.
Reveries rise with smoke wreaths,
Memories tender surround me ;
Girl a that are married or buried
Gather around rae.
School girls in pantalettes romping,
Girls that have grown to misses ;
Girls that liked to be kissed, and
Like to give kisses.
Kisses—well I remember them 1
Those in the corner were fleetest;
Sweet were those “on the sly,” in the
Dark were the sweetest.
Anna has gone on a mission
Off'to the South Sea sinners ;
Nell is a widow, keeps boarders, and
Cooks her own dinners.
Charlotte, and Susan, nnd Pattie,
Mary, Jane, Lucy and Maggie ;
Four are married and plump, two
Maiden and scraggy.
Thus I sit smoking and thinking,
A bachelor rigid and lonely ;
1 kiss the end of my pipe stem—
That, and that only.

CAPITAL AIIL LABOB.
The following extract, from an address
recently delivered in North Carolina be
fore a eounc-ii of Rations of Husbandry
by Ex Gov. Z. B. Nance, is full of plain
common sense an 1 practical raid useful
suggestions upon the subject of capital
and labor to workers in any department
of life :
Brain manure was our great want;
education for young and old, especially
in matters pertaining to agriculture.
We don't so much need laborers as a
proper utilization of that we, have. In
stead of croaking so much at the negroes,
we should work a little more ourselves.
At every depot and cross-road in the
State, you may see any day crowds of
idlers standing around loose, whittling
sticks and spitting at a mark, abusing
the negro as a laborer, lamenting the
scarcity of money and hoping for that
issue of $44,000,000 of reserve Intel
discussed in Congress and cussed else
where. Notwithstanding our great losses
by war, substantially till that we had
before is here. Our mother earth is
here, and our tillers to it are undis
turbed ; the early and latter rains still
fall according to the promise, and the
genial sunshine still warms and fructi
fies as of old, whilst the goodness of God
still bestows the increase. The strength
and courage of our people are still with
them ; and though, alas! many of our
bravest and best are not here, yet all the
glorious rec Elections of our history re
main to cheer and bless us. And the
negro, too, is here, as good or better
than he was before, if we know how to
work him. Don’t despair of finding a
way to do that. -You say he won’t work
unless he is compelled—very well, nei
ther will white men. But compulsion is
of different sorts. Formerly, you com
pelled him by virtue of being his master
—now, compel nitn to work by force of
his necessities. Show him that you can
live without him, put your own hanu to
the plough and say to him, if you will
help, well, if not, well again : enforce the
Lw against vu/abondage, and he will
gladly wotk when he can do no better.
At present he thinks he can make a liv
ing by voting, but he will corue out of
that in due season. On the whole, lam
inclined to think he is the best laborer
we are likely to get in the South as he
is the best tool we have with which to
cultivate the soil, let us sharpen and im
prove him in every possible way. And
for this great Arglo-Saxon people whose
blood has filled the earth with toe most
beneficent and utilitarian civilization it
has ever witnessed, and strewed the
shores of its oceans with mighty cities,
reticulated its surface with steam roads,
covered the wild seas with the white
wings of commerce, and even invaded
their unknown depths with the iron-shod
pathways of the lightning, for these men
to acknowledge that the wheels of their
progress are stopped because the ne
gres wont work and keep contracts, is a
sorry spectacle indeed ! Shame to us if
it be so!
And as to capital, the want of which
makes us complain so loudly—are we
really suffering for that? J say not.
We are suffering from a want of capacity
to use what we have rather. What re
lief would a fresh issue of government
currency do us unless we had the equiv
alent to give for it? Suppose that forty
four millions were given to us, how long,
would we keep it if our consumption
annually exceeded our sales as far as it
does now? Like water seeking its level
it would soon find its way to those who
had a surplus to give for it. What is
the use of an idle fellow lounging around
with bis hands in his pockets,, without a
thing in the world to sell, but who buys
his very axe handle and his cabbage
from the North, abusing Eastern capi
talists for grabbing all the currency ?
Let him raise a bale of cotton, and see if
he don’t rob that Yankee of some of his
ill gotten gains ! Let him grow his own
pork,. Hour, corn and hay, and see if
that bloated bondholder don’t have to
shell out? To give you some idea of
our condit on as to capital, I would re
fer you to two or three points in our
State In Charlotte, which is the big
gest town of its size in the United
States, we have five chartered banks,
with a capital paid in of $850,000. Their
deposits will exceed $1,500,000, on which
they pay 6 per cent.—total, $2,350,000-.
Raleigh lias, I learn, over $600,000 on
deposit, and Wilmington some SBOO,OOO,
and their banking capital is about half
their deposits—total bank capital in
three towns about §1,550,000, deposits
§2,900,000. Now seven tenths of these
deposits belong to our farmers—such
men as you, down on middle men, and
clamorous for more capital. What do
they do with it? Will they lend to their
neighbors who are in straits and haven't
got well on their feet since the war, and
secure it by a mortgage at <g 8 or 10
per cent.? Not one in ten. You haven’t
confidence in your neighbor, though he
mortgages his farm, but you put it in
one of these banks on long call at 6 per
cent., and your neighbors go to the
bank and borrow it at 18 per cent., to
raise the wind for the next crop. Or
he goes to a commission merchant and
buys his supplies on a credit, at a cost
of over 50 per cent, over cash prices and
mortgages his crop in advance to pay
for them, and when that mortgage is
foreclosed, y our crop gone,- no supplies
on hand and the sum s process to be
gone over again next year, you say its
want of more capital! Oh, my brother,
take no offence i pray you at the wounds
of a friend, when I say it is a want of
common sense and common charity to
ward each other. Make your own sup
plies and you wid not have to borrow :
so mncli money. If you have any to
loan let your neighbor have it, unless
you had rather see the barik.r speculate
ou your money than him. Nobody
blames the bunker or the commission
merchant. If they can run a machine
on your money who should abuse them
for it? 'Not I for one. Learn to use
your capital wisely before you clamor
for more. Pour your surplus cash on
your farms or into manufacturing in
stead of the banks,, and you’ will knock,
out a middle man every lick.
FIGURES FEINTED BY LIGHTNING*
Persons who are killed by lightning
stroke are frequently found marked
about the body in a peculiar manner, the
lines being grouped into semblance of
the trunk and branches of a tree. In
case casualty actually happens anywhere
in the vicinity of a tree, the ramifications
are attributed to some mysterious pro
perty of the lightning, which reproduces
on the body [as was stated in a pub
lished instance] “the fibers, leaves and
branches with photographic accuracy.”
Mr. C. Tomlinson, in a communication
to Nature, states that the trees have
nothing to do with these figures, which
are produced directly by’ the lightning.
The same markings may be found in
sheets of crown glass by passing over
them the contents of a Leyden jar. The
writer, however, mentions a variety of
cuiious phenomena in which horse shoes,
metallic numbers, etc., have been found
reproduced on the persons of people
struck in their neighborhood. Mr. C. F.
Yarlty throws light on these last men
tioned cases m giving the record of an
accidental observation made during the
working of a Holtz electrical machine,
the pa les of which were furnished with
brass balls about an inch in diameter.
Noticing some specks on the ball of the
positive pole, Mr. Varley tried to wipe
them off with a silk handkerchief, but in
vain. He then examined the negative
pole, and discovered a minute speck cor
responding to the spots on the positive
pole. This pole sometimes exhibits a
glow; and if in this state three or four
bits of wax, or even a drop or two of
water, be placed on the negative pole,
corresponding non luminous spots ap
pear on the positive poie Hence it is
evident that lines of force exist between
the two poles, by means of which we
| may telegraph through the air from the
; negative to the positive prole. And in
1 explanation of the above cases, in which
I the lightning burn on the skin is of the
[ same shape us the, object from which the
j charge proceeded, ait that is necessary
is that the object be x to the horse
shoe, brass number, etc., the discharge
being a negative one.
The property of the city of Columbia,
S. C-, is advertised to be sold by the
Sheriff to satisfy judgments obtained
again t it by the Carolina National Bank.
The city water works, four acres, and ten
other acres are in the unfortunate cate
gory. From good authority it is also
1. araed that there is not a dollar in the
city treasury, although there are 850,000
airear of taxes due. Of tax-payers who
are in arrears some cannot pay and
others will not.
Three Cities as One.— According to
the census taken the cit3 r of New York
his a population of twelve hundred
thousand. There are supposed to be
live hundred thousand inhabitants of
Brooklyn, and two hundred thousand of
Jersey City, which are prn.ft.ien.iljg, p,n t,
of New York. This gives an actual pop
illation of nearly two millions, bringing
New York close alongside of Paris,, and
second to London.
An Irwinton negro, who went to the

TIIE i.lO\ SEW litres MM MINE,
THE “COIVqi UUOIt.”
The above illustration, though without stand
shows the wonderful simplicity of the Lyor
| Sewing .Machine, the “Conqueror." Mr. Lyon
the Inventor, was for many years the Presnlcnl
j and Manager of the Kinklo k Lyon S. M. Cos,
and haice enjoyed the facility for the study o
| the sewing machine art and its adaptation to ev
ery variety of sewing manufacture, both iu tin
family and in thesh >p,and the invention prove*
a great, success. It has overcome the tour great
radical defects of shuttle machines, viz:
1. Want of space undei the arm.
2. Want of durability—too much friction.
3. Too heavy running—tires the operator.
4. Too much jar and uoise.
No other shuttle machine has ever successful
ly overcome these four great defects.
We know the machine honestly excels any
thing we have to contend with in the market
Wo realize that these are strong assurances
but v, e offer them without the least misgivings
for we know whereof we affirm.
We therefore offer the machine upon its owr
merits, and if it does not prove satisfactory, ii
can be returned any time within 60 days and
money refunded.
Our LIST PRICES will be the same as othei
first class machines, but in neighborhoods where
we have no Agent, special inducements will be
offered. Each machine is supplied, without ex
tra charge, wit’ Ilemmer, Quilter. Gauge
Guage Screw. Screw Driver, six Bobbins, one
dozen Needles, Oil Can filled with Oil, Belt and
instruction Book.
N. B.—We shall appoint AGENTS with exclu
sive Territory for Towns or Counties or Stabs
and we hope to render these agencies permanent
by the liberal inducements wc offer and the in
trinsic merits of the machine.
