EARLIER DAYS. INSCRIBED TO MfSS C. i Br AUTUMJf FLOWEH. How bright the days of childhood seem when memory runs back, And woos the happy moments spent and follows on their track The vanished joys' gleam brigh anew with all their wonted glee, Yet burst and disappear again like bubbles on the sea.

Comes with remembrance happy days 1 when in life's rosy morn, Gay girls disported with light hearts, upon the breezy lawn; When Spring Jjplayed its liveliest tictj, ere Summer had begun, And' buds peered forth in brightest hues, beneath the spring-tide sun. )Vell I remember a bright form, with laughing face and eye, And pretty curls of jet that would the loveliest outvie; Ah! well I the smile that always met the gaze, And senra thrill through every vein, and left one in a maze. Oft times since then has yonder sky been purpled by the sun, And lovely flowers that sweetly bloomed have fa-- dud one by one Still memory its peasant dreams, ot many a happy day, Recalls the scenes of that long have passed away. 1 VM And often in the djra twilight Vhen When musi'ifg on the seasons fletltin memory's happy bower; Soft'spir'its whisper.in my ear, that pleasure shall not last, The'prcseut with its radiant joys shall mingle with the past. For Carrie, it is written thus, all earthly things decay.

The brightest flowers that bloom will fade, and i.t U1UU1 IfiUl pu When the Summer of their life is gone, and Au tnmn's winds have blowiV the forest nath are niteously strown. Tint nnlilrB them if uiDDed by frost or hid in sol- einn sloom. We bloom again in brighter spheres, beyond the silent tomb Where alpine sriows are neTer known, but loveliest is the scene, Of milder skies, and sunny plates arrayed in liv- ing green.

expenses, and realize a sufficient surplus to pay for the iron purchased in February. 1851. Indeed, it could not have been done by anything short of a miracle. The history rof the purchase alluded 'to is known 1o your Board. Irtiay report of November 29, 1850.

and; which was submitted to the Legislature then session, the fact vas stated that the Road would have to stop operations at once, unless spmer2 or 3 hundred tons of light front euro kl be immediately procured and laid iipon the track. To prevent the alternative indicated, and, with the laudable view of, keening up the road as loo 'as be convenience and necessities of the pubuc eeraed to demand, the Legisla ture, or -me eve oi its nnai aojournmeni, passed a Resolution authorizing your Board to make the necessary purchase of iron, if it could be made by pledging the proceeds of 'the road for the payment.

It will not, trust, be inappropriate in me, to express the hope that your Board will lay this matter before the Legislature cf the State, to whose special attention it is commended by it own intrinsic importance nor can it be out of place on this occasion, to offer my congratu lations at the final triumph of the old Raleigh and Gaston Railroad over all its difficulties, nnd the confident belief, that the State will! at once promptly adopt measures for the payment ilnVdbb'. contracted at the darkest hour of its history, and to save, its very e.xis tence. due by heistrictest principles, of jus- HCe, KOU ion WJIIUIKUt mc wrui'i iaiv- aha has receivedjsraiuatjfe consiaerauon.
