1t is deeply to be regretted that the bill before
the Tennessee Legislature, making an approprla-
ton for the construction of the East Tennessee
and Virginia Railroad, has been rejected. We do
not doubt that the anticipated completion OF the
great Virginia Railroad from Lynchburg to the
Tennessee line will, at no distant day, impel the
awgivers of Tennessee to the adoption OF the
measures necessary TO connect that work with the
lines of railroad in their own State. But it was
much to have been desired that Tennessee should
accomplish her portion simultaneously with Vir-
ginia 1t is impossible to consider the superiority
(ls regards disance) of the railroad route between
Memphis and any of the tidewater markets OF
Virginia, to any other that can be laid down be-
tween the lower Mississippi and the North, With
out being convinced that Tennessee would act
most wisely in completing that part OF the line
which would be within her limits.

Early Rising.-In one of the cities
Of England resides venerable minister OF
great celebrity, both as preacher and wri-
ter. For upwards of sixty years he has
maintained high degree of popularity in
his public character, and has been sing ular-
ly respected, beloved aud honord in private
life. A few years since, the wriier OF
these lines, being on a visit at his house,
was not a lItte surprised to see the good
i'll the morning, working in his garden with
the agility and energy of young man
and this on Moudy morning, after having
conducted two public services on the pre-
cedlug day. He stated that this was his
usual practice, aud source of health and
enjoyment. From youth, he had meyer
been in bed at six o'clock, excepting on
occasions ofreal Illness, which had been
ofrare occurrence. 'sBut," said he, lido
not imagine that it has cost me no effort
to rise early. When young, l was much
inclined to indulge in bed, but being con-
vlnced that it was wicked waste of time,
and bar to improvement, | resolved to
put an end to it. So every night had a
large basin of water placed by my bedside,
and the moment awoke, out turned, and
dipped my head in the water-then, you
know, sleep was gone, and | had my sens
Ies about me- For short lime l required
to be awakened at a certain hour, but il
soon ceased to be necessary; awoke Of
my own accord. The only Thing required
was to get my head into the water without
entering into any debates Any going per-
son may, by this method, successfully cure
himselfof wanting to lie a-bed late. l am
not sure that it would be effectuaI for an
old sluggard, but it is worth making the

A Cunning Fox.

p F" A cunning Foxw But are not this
whole race Of animals cunning? They
are SO represented. How common it is to
hear person say As cunning as fox p'
Yes, they are all pretty sly fellows admit !;
but have just heard story about one who
seems to have been smarter even than the
most Of his species. The story was told me
by a clerical gentleman ofmy acquaintance,
whose name. wherever he is known, COM
rnands the highest respect. A coIored man
in the employ Of this gentleman, took it in
to his head to catch fox, whom he knew
to be residing in the neighborhood. So he
proceeded to set a trap for him. After hav-
ing placed some dainty morsels of food for
the fox, in a particular place not far from
his hole, he set steel trap in that place,
taking the precaution 10 Cover it with earth,
so that il was entirely out Of sight-the bait
being scattered in that vicinity, as before
The next morning af:er that, the coIored
man found the trap sprung, but instead Of
the fox, there was stick IN it. The trap
was set with the same care, for several eve
nings in successioh with the same result
Every morning the trap was sprung, and
there was stick between It's jaws. Il was
thought that some mischievous boy must
have done the deed. Still the trap was set
again, and once more the colored man,
though with less hope than ever, went TO the
spot in the morning. This time the fox
was caught by the nose. But, IS before, =
stick was found below the trap. The whole
mystery was explained The, fox had
sprung the trap himseifs by means Of stick
