FOR THE TARBORO' PRESS
THE FOURTH OF JULY.
Mr. Editor: Another Anniversary of
our Independence is nearly upon us, and
I am happy to have it in my power, to in

In all ages, and in evcrv country there
.-have, been days, the return of which, on
account of the pleasing associations which
cluster around them, has been looked to
with a great degree of interest being oc
casions for hilarity, mirth and festivity, j
The pious Mussulman feels it his duty, at
least one time during his life, to make a
pilgrimage to Mecca, and there pour out;
warm devotions to the memory of his
Mahommcd. The ancient Greek, filled !
with that glow of patriotism, which char
acterised his race, celebrated once in four
years, his sacred games; and retiring from

swelling with, pride his brow knit
around with the wreath of olives, shouted
paeans of victory to his Olympian Jove.
In accordance with this long-established
custom, and dictated by that feeling
which animates the breast of every being,
intellig6nt and fiee, to do honor to those,
who have bequeathed to them inestimable
benefits -we as a people have regarded
the ?ourth of July, a,s a day for national
jubilees and one ,upon which, it was fit
to make public manifestations of our res
pect and gratitude, to our noble ancestors,
who risked their all. for the nrosneritv
and happiness of us, their descendants.
On the approaching Fourth, an Address
will be delivered by fVilliam II. John
ston, and from the reputation this young
gentleman deservedly enjoys, we may ex
pect a rich feast of intellectual informa
tion. On the same day, the Ladies of
Tarboro', wjll present a Bible to the Sons
of Temperance--thus declaring to the
world that they appreciate the labors of
this noble band of brothers, in forward
ing this mighty reformation, and are not
altogether averse to a union with them.
1 hree cheers for the Ladies of Tarboro':
for if there is any good to be done, they
will have a hand in it.
The Committee of Arrangements will
procure a fine Band of Music for the occa
sion, which will imparl additional interest
' to the ceremonies. At night there 'will
be given a Dance, for the benefit of those,
who are fond of "tripping on the light fan
tastic toe."
Upon the whole, we;anticipatc a glori

and mode, in which these instructions are,
impressed upon the minds of the pupils,,
leave lasting impressions on their youth

comprehend the meaning of what is
taught, this then seems to be the ground

On the evening of the 2nd day's Exam-;
inalion as is the usual custom here, those
of the pupils who have been taking Ies-1
sons in music made their debut before the j
public; this class consisted of 23 charming
young Misses, whose able and talented i
teacher is Miss Sarah E. Howard. Ucinsl
detained a little beyond the ringing of the
bell, on arriving at the door I found a large j
number unable to gain admission; but feel-j

by the time I arrived about one third u n
the room, I made a halt by my friend Mr.
B. who was holding up a post for the pur
pose of reconnoitering the premises; for a
short time I was completely ) confounded;
is it possible, thought I, that this is the
same pr-ace I was in this mornfiig? A few
familiar faces soon convinced me that it
was.
In the centre of the room had been
erected a stand whereon sat the Principals
of the Academy and the music M istress,
accompanied by her pupils; and such a
display of beauty seated on the benches
around as completely bewildered my im
agination for some time. Involuntarily
did I exclaim to my friend Mr B. is this
a portion of fairy land or is it old "Edge
combe County? and sure enough it Was
x portion of the fair daughters of that old
md : venerable county, where you can
find some of the best farmers, most polite
and amiable mothers, . and the prettiest
daughters in all the State.

FOR THE TRBO0 PRESS
TO THE
BEAUTIFUL VOUNG LADY,
Whom the writer saw at the Baptist church
Tarboro on Sunday, June 8th, 1851 lhese
Lines are respectfully dedicated
When I lieheld religicin's shrine,
My heart by pious thoughts was thrilll;
A glow of heav'uly fire was mine,
And God, alone, my bosom fill'd.
And when I jcinM thesacied train,
And mingled with the vocal throng,
To swell with piaise the anthem's struiri
JSinceiely flowed .devotion's song
kYon sea whose waves so proudly roll;
"Yon lofty trees that stattdy nod;
"Yea all the world, from pole to pole,
'Proclaim thy sov'reign power, O God !
"All revprenee and adore thy name;
"It dwt.lis with love on ev'ry tongue,
" Thou art through ev'ry clime the same,
"Eternal God!"' 'twas thus J sung.
But ah! when
mel my eye,
My hallehij ihs ceas d lo ll.iw;
My songs were eall'd from God on high.
To praise his Angel here below.
And oft to her my eyes would steal
Enamour'd of her look, her air;
That look, that air, of saintly zeal,
W hich Pirty herself might wear.
Mem'ry, thou sweet solacing pow'r !
When thou bhalt faded joys impart,
Recall the rapture of that hour,
Dear to the records of my heart,
When at religion's altar bent,
Abstraeted from this world of care
Wholly on things above intent,
unveil'd appeared ia pray'r.
Oh ! he the sin by God forgiv'n
Vor while she knelt with warm emotion,
I gaz'd, entratie'd, and thought her heav'n,
And hreath'd to her my soul's devotion.
