But we don't propose tc grumble, for God mixes good thingf. with things; we don't like atid it ii all for the best.

I have seen men sell their tobacco warehouse floor for more than on it was worth and then grumble because it did not bring more. Some men will grumble with their wives if a button comes off after being sewed on six months.

They will grumble at their children because they can not do as much work and as well as a grown person. They will send them to school 20 days in the year, and then call them blockheads because they can not calculate the compound interest on a note 3 years old. i But some women can beat the men aj; grumbling, and this complaining of the wife to the husband often runs him in debt so deep that a steam engine would not raise him. The wife says the wagon is not good enough to ride in 2 miles to church on Sun3ays, so a fine carriage has to be though there is already a mortgage on the land. She grumbles if the daughters have to wear homemade stockings, and if they.

can not get a new dress for every, protracted meeting in the neighborhood. Some say grumbling is a habit, and we think it a good sign of ilazinessi bad temper. Instead of; grumbling work for better things and try every way to be content with our lot. Old people tell us that times are hot like they used to be, and that we a better chance now than, they did when young. Schools, books, papers and teachers are very plentiful and cheap, (particularly teachers.) But it is sad to see so many of our people ignorant, especially the young people, and hundreds of homes.

that are not even visited by a weekly paper, and contain more jugs and bottles than school books. We heard a man say, not long since, that the wcirld had got to be so mean that he had quit taking a paper so as not to have to read about it. This I same man is now a school committeeman, and didn't know who was President of the United States but said he thought Arthur was. This man, like others, does not know that ignorance is the father. of many of our crimes which are so shocking to read about.

Our mothers sigh when they think of the good old days of the spinning wheel and loom that are gone-never to return. Well, we can buy cloth cheaper than to weave" it.

IP! few lines from Wicsi. you the following Winston is always moving up the hill, and has now upwards of fifty manufacturing establishments; a broom factory and a hosiery factory have lately been added to its other industries. The Methodists of Winston will Soon complete a church that will be aicredit to the State as well as to themselves. It will be one of the ncest churches in every respect in the State and will cost between thirty aiid forty thousand dollars. Dr.

Bagwell, who was so kind as to show over it, will be pastor of the church when it is completed. i 1 The Moravian church is a splendid edifice, and is the richest; church in North Carolina, and perhaps in the South. This church formerty owned a hundred thousand acres of land, more or less, in and around Salem attd Winston, and most if not all of the twin-city is built oh; Moravian land. This land was an original grant from the crown of England. Messrs.

Reynolds formerly of Leaksville but now living one and a half miles south-east of Winston, have one of the nicest and prettiest places in old North State. They t-f pect to work over three hundred thousand pounds of tobacco this sea-sop. We think they are destined to become noted manufacturer? in the near future.
