You may thunder In their cars that there aro moro things marching on than John Hrown's sriul. lucy'TI yawn out they don't care, let them march, all they intend to do is to sleep. These nleeptnjj[ towns and villages refuse to join in tho great march of improvement, you can't rouse them, they arc drugged with the traditions of the past, and tints thoy d >/.e and nod, and no man can arouse them.

Of course we of the South have had and still have much to depre.sk a id di* .courage us. but shoul 1 nuke the ef fort, at all events, to riso ab>vo circum stances. The o'ily way that tho South can ever hope to be prosperous, is to be wide awake, to ^emerge irom tho dark old hermit liko caves, or tho past; to p it the hand to the plough of progress an 1 improvement, and never to look back. Onward and upward should be our motto; for it is only by ambition- aud effort that men ever succeeded iu any thing.?Dtirlinyton .Smithtruer. A few days sinco J. W. Kenne, of Pembroke, N.
