The shadows creep along the deep
And up the silver river,
While softly through the central blue
Faint rays of starlight quiver.
80 fade life's light, so falls its night.
And mantles all in sadness.
Till stars of love shine out above
And All the soul with gladness.
The homeward mnin we slowly gain
With every ear-stroke's cadence.
And leave a shore all peopled o'er
With fhir.v men and maidens.
'Tie thus we glide on Time's dark tide,
To labor's solemn measure,
Death's shore to find, and leave behind
The Flowery isles of pleasure.

Idleness.
There is too mach idleness in this country.
It is breeding vice and immorality.
T? -:?u ?
a* mi Hiuug vui jono wmi viimiums. v>nuic
has been on tbo gradual increase Cor six
months. This comes of idleness; and
idleness comes in a great measures of that
abominable idea that a white man cannot
be a gentleman and work, lie must get
money, for that is indispensable. But how?
That's it. Young men have not the dis
position to work, and by patient CCviiOiiijf I
secure a basis for business operations.
They must have it uow. This suggests
expedients. Those lead to temptation,
and temptation leads to crimo. llcnce we
have murders, horso thefts and breaches
of trust.
Why should a young man consider it
degrading or even undignified to work ?
President Johnson purchased his present
residenoe iu East Tennessee with the proceeds
of his labor as a tailor. One of the
^ wealthiest bankers in New York commenced
tbo world as a gardener, selling to the
huckster the products of his own labor.
Gen. Pat Cleburn, at one time the head of
the Arkansas bur, subsequently the ruling
spirit of a powerful army, began life ns a
day-laborer. Judge lteugan, Postmaster
General of the late Confederate States, was
once a woodchopper on the hanks of the
Mississippi. The world is full of such examples.
But where can we point to a sue
eeestul man who spent his early youth in
hunting business which he considered to
be more gentoel than mauual labor? Who
baa ever heard of a man succeeding who
pent his early manhood "waiting lor something
to turn up ?"
Young man if you would succeed, go to
Ieor/e. it you cannot obtain a clerkship,
take something else. You had better be
rolling barrels, or plowing, or building
fonoe, or ohopping cord wood, or carrying
the hod, than doing nothing. Quit depending
upon your frieuds. Strike out
for yourself. Learn at once the greatest
of all lessons, that of telf reliance. llave
a bead, a will, a purpose of your owu. Go
to work and watch your opportunity. Tko
soil upon which you have been reared
never refuses a competence to thoso who
are willing to dig. Then, if you can do
no better, dig. It will pay to dig Nor
is there anything undignified or vulgar in
it. It is honorable if you choose to make
it so. Then dig and watch your opportunity.
But don't staud idlo and "Wait for
something to turn up."
A Quaker Woman's Sermon ?My
dear friends, there are thrco things that I
very much wonder at. The first is that
children should he so loolish as to throw
up stones, clubs and brickbats into fruit
trees to knock down fruit. If they would
let it alone it would tall itself. The second
is, that men should be so foolish as to go to
war to kill each other. If let alono they
would die themselves. The third and )u;-i
thing I wonder at is, that young men
should be so unwise as to go after young
women.
If they would stop at homo the young
women would come afier thcin.
Burns, going into chu:ch on Sunday,
and finding it difficult to procure a seat,
was kindly invited hy a young iudy into
her pew. The sermon being upon th terrors
of the law, and tho pre;*her being
particularly severe in his denunciation of
sinners, tho lady, who was very attentive,
became much ugitated Burus, on perceiving
it, wrote with his pencil on a
blank leaf of her Bible the following:
Fair maid you need not take the hint,
Nor idle texts pursue ;
'Twn* only sinners that he meant,
Not angels such as you."
Sacrifice of Property ?The following
faots arc "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
presence of tho editor of the L? ftmn.r.,
itcporter the other day, that a good lot of
land exposed to sale was sold for eighteen
dollars.
On saleday last, two hundred and eighty
acres of land lying in Goshen District, El
bert County, were sold at public outcry for
twenty five dollars. A horse was also put
up and brought?nothing. Couimont is
Unnecessary.?Macon Telegraph.
A California paper says that Mr. Ed
win Forrest means to reside in that State
six months, for the sake of procuring a
divorce from Mrs. Forrest, to whoui he
bos keen paying alimony of $3,000 a year
ever since the celebrated suit in this city
years ago.

A gentleman whose father had been '
hanged, was accustomed to refer to him as 1

Gleanings.
What are the two smal eat insects mentioned'
in the bible T The wicked fine and

Matchless misery has been defined to be
having a cigar and nothing to light it
with.
Ho only is independent who can maintain
himself by his own exertions.
Why is whispering a breach of good
manners ? Because it is not aloud.
The Indians on the plains call our
breech-loaders "heap shoot" guns.
You had better find out one of your own
faults than ten of your neighbor's.
Why aro ladies the biggest thieves in
existenoel Because they steel the pe'ti
coats, bone the slays, and crib 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 man be legally con
victed ? Because it is not lawful to con
deinti a man without hearing.

Troublos arc like bahies?they grow

Poor Caudle said lie dreamed that lie

"All flesh is grass," sighed Spriggles,
after dinner the other day; and the wretch
immediately added, "ofuil grasses give me

"Indeed, how was that ?" "Why she called

A poverty-stricken Frenchman, being
aroused by bis wile one night with the
cry, '(Jet up, Sacquc9, there's a robber in
the house !' calmly answered, 'ilush ! don't

house and if he Gnds anything of value,
we'll then get up and take it away lruui

A shrewd postmaster finally decided
that it was intended for John Underwood,
Andover, Mass.
Kissing don't hurt' it don't require a j
brass baud to make it legal. Don t jab I

her cheek, squizzlo her rich riebons, and
leave her mussed, rumpled nud muxed.
Don't flavor your kisses with onions, tobacco,
gin cocktails, lager beer, brandy, e?c ,

Two French peasants were discussing ,
the continental war, when one attempted .
to cxpliin to the other the nature ol the
telegraph. i'ter repeatedly failing, lie
was struck with a brilliant notion, and exclauneij
: Imagine that the telegraph is
an immenso long dog?so long that its
head is at Vicuna and its tails is at Paris !
Well, I read on it* tail, which is at Paris, j
and it will bark at Vienna. I>o you un j
derstund now, stupid, what the telegr ph 1
is like?" "Oh, yes!" replied the other
"I have an idea now what the telegraph
must be."
The Knoxvillc Commercial says that
negroes from Georgia und other Stages
South, are emigrating in large numbers to
East Tennessee. At one station a negro
came up with his bundle and was accosted
by a sable brother : (
"Dat's you, Hill, wbar's you gwinc ?"
"Dat's tnc sure?Ps gwinc to East Ten

Miscegenation,
The wandering course of Brownlow, Hamilton
end ?. omp&oy?who ore to follow the
Torch-and Turpeutine Brigade, with instruments
to survey the land, preliminary to the
grand distribution?shows that tuey are very
poor ' surveyors;" but their own advocacy ol
thedootrine of miscegenation is evidence that
they are good "levellers;" as witness this
speech of Horace Maynard, at Athens, Teun.,
on the 2lst ultimo :
"And I tell you, gentlemen, that in a short
time all this complaint about negro equalitywill
be done away with. Sotue months since
it was said that the negro would not be suffered
to testify in your courts ?that his oath
would not he granted him. But how stands
t o matter already ? lie :e not only permitted
to testify ill your courts with impuuity. but
there is every evidence that he will soon be on
a social equality with the white man in your
State. Yes, gentlemen, inwi short lime he will
marry and intermarry in your families, li in
a little objectioiuiblo to day but you will soon
get over this, nud lie persecuted negro will be
welcome in your parlors This will be the result
of the political and social changes of the
next lew months.
A Yankkk General Bcati.n nr a Negho.?
A correspondent of the Metropolitan llecord,
writing from Luke l'rovidence. La., says:
In Isaquena county, Misa , General Andrews,
of .Massachusetts, has bceu endeavoring to run
a plantation. A lew days since one of the
descendants ot' Ham, in the employ of General
Andrews, was exercising his family prerogative
by a -ministering, according to the law
and customs of old puritan Massachusetts, n
severe lesson of corporeal punishment upon
one of his own children. The General, coming
along, ordered hitn to desist, which Sambo rofusea
to do, asserting at once the privilege
guaranteed by the rivil (lights Bill. Hereupon
the General undertook to coerco the arrogant
darkey, who on the other hand, "couldn't
nee it.'' A skirmish ensued, aud alas, our gallant
General was most wofully used up, retreating
in a demoralised condition, dismayed
and disgusted with free niggers, Southern
plantations and all. lie told some of the mouthers
tltai ho had expended thirty thouMuiri
dollars in starting the cotton planting adventure,
hut would give it up. He said lie had
fought four years to make the nigger free, ntid
was now willing to tight the remainder of his
life time to put them back into sltwcry again.

Tnn Cestual I'ACtric Road.?The Central
Pacific Railroad of California is now completed
a distance of eighty miles cast of Sacramento,
and in a few weeks the whistle of the

When they have once crossed this range ol
mountains there will b" a road similar to thai

ol the Kocky Mountains there will be no scri

is displayed, until the completion ofthisgigau
tic and monstrous enterprise, that there is ai
present, seven years will complete the grcatcsl
work in the world There is at present up

frout Boston to Manhattan, Karsas; and whet
the Pacific is completed, there will be on?
(almost) continuous route upward of 3,00(
miles iu leagth. American genius. Amcricnr
industry, American perseverance, can accom

Where tiie Figiitino Men Stand.?The

Generals of the war are almost invariably for
