There U too mnch idleness in this ooun? r try. It is breeding vice and immorality. It is filling oar jails with criminals. Crime has been on the gradual increase for six months. This oomes of idleness; and idleness oomes in a great measuro of that abominable idea that a white uiun cannot be a gentleman and work. He mast get - * money, for that is indispensable. But how? That's it. Young men havo not the dis position to work, and by patient economy secure a beau for business operations. They most hare it uow. This suggests expedients. These lead to temptation, boo temptation leads to orimo. Hence we hare morders, horse tbells and breaches of trust. Why should a young man consider it degrading or eren undignified to work ? President Johnson purchased his present Tdkidenoe in East Tennessee with the pro oeeds of his labor as a tailor. One of the ^ wealthiost bankers in New York commenced the world aa a gardener, selling to the bttokster the products of his own labor. Gen. Fat Cleburn, at one timo the head of die Arkansas bar, subsequently the ruling spirit of a powerful army, began lifo as a day-laborer. Judge Reagan, Postmaster General of the late Confederate States, was once a woodehopper on the banks of the Mississippi. The world is full of such examples. But where can we point to a sue eeesful man who spent his early youth in hunting business whioh ho considered to be more genteel than manual labor? Who has over heard of a man succeeding who pent his early manhood "waiting for something to turn up ?" Young man if you would suooeed, go to vork. If you eanoot obtain a clerkship, take something else. You had better be tolling barrels, or plowing, or building foaoe, or ehopping cord wood, or oarryiug the hod, than doing nothing. Quit de? pending upon your friends. Strike out tor Yourself. Learn at once the greatest of all lessons, that of self reliance. llave a bead, a trill, a purpose of your own. Go to work and watch your opportunity. The soil upon which yon hare been reared never refuses a competence to those who are willing to dig. Then, if you can do no better, dig. It will pay to dig Nor ia there anything undignified or vulgar in it It Is honorable if yen choose to make it so. Then dig and watoh your opportunity. But don t stand idlo and '%ait for something to turn up." A Quaker Woman's Sermon ?My dear friends, there are three things that I very much wonder at. The first is that ohitdren should be so foolish as to throw nn itMM. nlnhi ?n(t '*" * wr v-*?w ?W?? v? ivmw?i?a tuw null trees to knook down fruit If they would let it alone it would fall iteelf. The second la, that men should be so foolish as to go to war to kill each other. If let alone they would die themselves. The third and Iku thing I wonder at is, that young men should be so unwise as to go after young women. ; .Vv. it they would stop at homo the young women would oome after thein. Bcrks, going into oliuich on Sunday, and finding it difficult to prooure a seat, was kindly invited by a young lady into her pew. The sermon being upon th.? terrors of the law, and the preacher being particularly severe in his denunciation of sinners, the lady, who was very attentive, became much agitated Burns, on poreeiving it, wssie with his pencil on a blank leaf of her Bible tho following; Fair maid you need not lake the hint, Nor idle teats pursue; 'Twos only sinners that he meant, Not angels such ae yon." Saoairxos or Property.?The following faots are "straws," and we cannot assign to them too much significance : A gentleman who has just returned from Carroll County, in this State, stated in the presenoe of the editor of the La Grange ltcporter the other day, that a good lot of land exposed to sale was sold for eighteen On saleday last, two hundred and eighty teres of land lying in Goohen District, El bert County, were sold at public outcry ror twenty fire dollars. A horse was also put up and brought?nothing. Commoot is Unnecessary.?Macon Telegraph. A California paper Buys that Mr. Ed win Forrest means to reside in that Stato six months, tor the sake of procuring a divorce from Mrs, Forrest, to whom ho has been paying alimony of $3,000 a year ever since the celebrated suit in this city ys*r? ago. A gentleman whose father had been hanged, was accustomed to refer to him as "'having died suddenly, by falling through s plxfftim and breaking hie nask, at a Urge jmbfce masting ' * .,-V; . \ * "*v ' ' ' ,v -O ... . I ' " -grimst* I&St-iv j1! %r':-- ? mmmmmmmmmmmmmrnrn : ^l?anliig?. What are the two hmI'n( iimeta mentiooedMn the bible? The wicked JUe and the widow's mifg. Matchless misery has been defined to be having a efgar and nothing to light it with. He only is independent who can maintain himself by his own-exertions. Why is whispering a breaoh of good manners? Because it is not aloud. Tbe Indians on the plains call onr breech-loaders "heap shoot" guns. V . tiarl ?.? ??- a c I uuuvi uiau vui vug ui juuruwn faults than ten of .your neighbor's. Why aro ladies the biggest thieves in existence f Because they steel the pettiooats, bone the stays, and orib the babies. A word of kindness is seldom spoken in vain. It is a seed which, even when dropped by chance, springs up a flower. Why cannot a deaf ma-? be logally con victed ? Because it is not lawful to con demn a man without hearing. As we grow older, it i3 with hearts as with heads of hair; for one that wo fiud real, there are nine that are false ! The moon seems the uunt unsteady of all the oelestial luminaries; she is continu ally shifting her quarters. Troubles aro like babies?they grow bigger by nursing. But babies aro not, therefore, always troubles. Some hearts, like the evening primses, open most beautiful in the shadows of life. Man passes his life in reasoning on the past, in complaining of tho present, and in trembling for the future. Poor Caudle said he dreamed that he hud an augcl by his side, and upon waking up found it was nobody But his wife. Kinder is the looking glass than the wine glass; for the former reveals our de fccts to ourselves only?the latter to our Iriuuds. 'What ar9 you kicking my dog for ?' Because ho is full of fleas.' 'Fleas, the devil 1 Why, that dog sleeps with me.' 'Yes, darn you, that's whar he get 'em.' "All flesh is grass," sighed Sprigglcs, after dinner tho other day; and the wretch immediately added, "of all grasses give me a gra?8 widow." "My wifo," said a wag the other day "came near calling me honey last night. "Indeed, how was that ?" "Why she called me old beeswax." An editor describing the effects of a squall upon a canal boat, says : 'When tl c gale was at the highest point the unfortunate oraft keeled to tho larboard, and the captain and another oosk of whiskey rolled overhtiard.' 'Excuse me madam, but 1 would like to know why you look at ine so savagely V paid a gentleman to u lady stranger. 'Oh 1 1 beg pardon, sir; I took you ior my bus band,' was the reply. (Well, Tom,' said a blacksmith to his apprentice, 'you have been with ine now three mouths, and have seen all the differ etit points in our trade. I wish to give you your choico of work for a while.' 'Thank'ce, sir.' 'Well, now, what part of the business do you like best?' 'Shuttin' up shop and goin' to diuncr, sir.' A poverty-stricken Frenchman, being aroused by bis wife one night with the cry,'Get up, Saoquos, there's a robber in the bouse i' calmly answered, 'Hush ! don't let us disturb him Lot hiiu ransack the house and if he finds anything of value, we'll then get up and take it away trom him.' The following direction was on a letter which passed through the post office : Wood Johu Mass. A shrewd postmaster finally decided that it was intended for John Underwood, Andover, Muss. Kissing don't hurt' it dou't require a brass band to make it legal. Don't jab down on a beuutiiul mouth as if spearing lor frogs. Don't grab and yank the yuung lady, as il she was a struggling colt. Don't muss her hair, snetch down her collar, bite her cheek, squizzle her rich ribbons, and leave her mussed, rumpled and mazed. Don't flavor your kisses with onions, tobacco, gin cocktails, lager beer, brandy, o'o , for a maudlin kiss is worse than the itch to a delicate, loviug, sensible woman. Tnrn Vronolt nn.ion J! ?? ? * .?W ? IVMVU j/i ufiiuva ?TCI O UlhUllSSl H ? j the continental war, wlicn ono attempted to expl.tin to tbo other the nature ol the telegraph. flor repeatedly failing, he was struck with a brilliant notion, and ox* claimed : Imagine that the telegraph is an iramenso long dog?so long that its head is at Vienna and its tails is at Paris. Well, tread on its tail, which is at Paris, 1 and it will bark at Vienna. l)o you un derstand now, stupid, what the tolegr. ph is like?" "Oh, yes!" replied the other "I have an idea now what the telegraph must be." The Knoxvillc Commercial says that negroes troui Georgia and other 8iat.es South, are emigrating in large uuinbers to i East Tennessee. At one station a negro < cauie up with his bundle and was accosted ' by sable brother : j "Dat's you, Bill, whar's you gwino f" , "Dat's mo sure?I's gwine to East Ten ncsseo sartain. Day's got more corn up dar den all de rest ob do world. Niggers 1 don't hub to work so hard up dar, and Go- ' vernor Browolow's gwine to iete 411 vote ( dsr, too." < Miscegenation. Tas wandering course of Brownlow, Hamilton sod l ompany?who are to follow the Torcb-and Turpentine Brigade, with instruments to survey the land, preliminary to the grand distribution?shows that they are very poor "Surreyorebut their own advocacy of the dootriue of miscegenation is eridenoe that they are good "levellersas witness this speech of Horace Maynard, at Athens, Tenn., on the 21st ultimo : "And I tell you, gentlemen, that in a short time all this complaint about negro equality will be done away with. Some months since it was said that the negro would not be suffered to testify in your courts?that his oath would not be granted him. But how stands t ie matter already t He is not only permitted to testify in your courts with impunity, but there is every evidence that he will soon be on a social equality with the white tnau in your State. Yes, gentlemen, inwt short time he will marry and intermarry in your families. It is a little objectionable to-day but you will soon get over this, and he persecuted negro will be welcome in your parlors This will be the result of the political and social changes of the next few months. A Yankee General Ueati.n bt a Neobo.? A correspondent of the Metropolitan Record, writing from Lake Providenoe. L%., says : iu isuquenn county, ansa , uencral Andrews, of Massachusetts, has been endeavoring to run a plantation. A few days since one of the descendants of Main, in the employ of General Andrews, was exercising bis family prerogative by a uninisteriog. according to the law and cuBtoins of old puritan Massachusetts, a severe lesson of corporeal punishment upon one of his own children. The General, coming along, ordored him to desist, which Sambo re" fused to do, asserting at once the privilege guaranteed by the Civil Rights Bill. Hereupon the General undertook to coerco the arrogant darkey, who on the other hand, "couldn't see it." A skirmish ensued, and alas, our gallant General was most wofully used up, retreating in a demoralized condition, dismayed nud disgusted with free niggers, Southern plantations and all. lie told some of the momhers that he had expended thirty thousaud dollars in starting the cotton pltniing adventure, but wouid give it up. He said he had fought four years to make the nigger free, and was now willing to fight the remainder of his life lime to put them back into sla/ery again. ???? The Central Pacific Road.?The Central Pacific Railroad ef California is now completed a distance of eighty miles .east of Sacramento, and in a few weeks the whistle of the locomotive will be heard in the Sierra Nevada. When they have once crossed this range of mountains there will be a rood similar to that on the Platte, a level river bottom, the Ham boldt. and until they reach the western range of the Rocky Mountains there will be no serious difficulties to overcome, and if the energy is displayed, until the completion oftbis gigantic and monstrous enterprise, that there is at present, seven years will complete the greatest work in the world There is at present upward of eighteen hundred miles of railrcad from Boston to Mauhnttan, Harass; and when the Pacific is completed, there will be one (almost) continuous route upward of 3.000 miles in leogili. American genius. American industry, American perseverance, can accomplish auylhing. There is nothing that these combined have over succumbed to except perpetual motion, and that is to he discovered iu this gicut country, if there is such a thing. so i i^> i A German in Savanna , arrested for some offense, pleaded in defense "kait nheieduck ous denzweiteu icustcr georgessen." The judge not being able to see it iu that light, fined him five dollnrs. Brick Posieroy says that is the most wickedest and heart leases! judge we havo read of within the limits of the "unconstructed" portion of the laud wc live in. He ought to be placed iu "durance vile," corked up in a frecdniau's bureau for ninety days, then compelled to listen to Browclow's innocent prattle ninety more; and finally have Ben, the cock-eyed spoon pilferer, look pleasant at him for ninety more. Oh, most injured German, we cominisseratc thy wrongs over muchly! A few weeks after a late marriage, the husband had some peculiar thoughts when putting ou his last clean shirt as he saw no. appearance of a washing. He thereupon rose earlier than usual one morning and kindled a fire. iv! i 9 * ? 1 * "iieu lumping nu me koii iv nc miiao a noise on purpose lo arouse his easy wife. She immediately perpcd over the blankets, and then exclaimed : "My dear, what are you doing?" He deliberately responded, "I'vo put on my last clean shirt, and I'm going to wash one for myself." "Very well," replied Mrs. Easy, **you had better wash one fo me, too!" Emigration to Lidkria.?The National Intelligencer of the 24th instaut, says: "We understand that the American Colonization Society has purchased the ship Golcondo, l.Oltl tons, and intend to At her up to carry cmi grant to Liberia. She is expected to sail from Charleston, South Carolina, on the 1st of November. Upwards of a thousand freedmen have applied to the Society for a passage this fall Many others arc getting ready to embark next spring." The < incinnati Gnzettc says that at a recent rat hunt >n Pickaway county 15,071 rats were killed, and announces a grand pic nic to take place at (.ircleville, Ohio, at whioh three premiums will be given to the township producing the greatest number of tails of rats slain in each township of Pickaway county. The premiums amount respectively to $500. $800 and $2,00, aud will be distributed, of oourse, pro rata. Where the Figiitixo Men Stand.?The Indianapolis Herald says that the fighting Generals oi the war are almost invariably for Johnson nnd a restored Union, while .lie "dead beats" iuvariably sustain Congress. On the one side we have Grant, Sherman, Farrago), IloHeiior uis, Kosseau, and a host of other gallant and meritorious officers, while on the other are arrayed Hutler, Banks, Neal Dow ind such. It is a contest of patriotism,against plunder and pianos. tsaRn How is it??The Tribune and sundry of its Radical cotcmporarios have been declaring, for moniliH. that ilie np..roi?s worn in rnoliiu Ihe only loyalists South. Will the Tribune explain how it in that a "Southern Loyalist Convention" is now in session in Philadelphia without one Southern negro? The Radicals say of llenry Ward Reecher, dielr late idol, "This reverend traitor's aban ionraeni of the negro to the mercies of the white oppressor is induced by the interest he 'eels in the promotion of his son M an officer >f the regular army. * V ' '"*" k * , >t- -- >*. ?7 -\, v~ - > * - L*?
