met with moor success in their practice, and finally
studied law which he practced with great success.
ION being asked why he abandoned both the other
nrofessio,is for the law, he replied az found that
linen thought SO much more of their wills than their
souls and bodies both that could get the best by
living by the law The following seems to be a
case in proof of his position. 1t is from the Iowa
| State Gazette:
| s'Tbe papers east have made the city OF Buzz
ington the original point of famous law suit con-
corning a calf. Mistake entirely. The case rose
in West Point, Lee county, thriving village on
the route OF. the Dubuque andzKeokuok Tailroaa'
and was commenced about a year ago, byian action
of replevin, before justice of the peace. Inc
difficulty was to identify the calf claimed The wit
nesses of one party, some twenty or thirty IN mum
Der, swore that the tail was entirely blaok' anu
those of the other, about equal in number, swore
that it was partly white. The jury returned
| verdict, from which an appeal was taken to the
! District Court of Lee county. The appeal was
tiled at the last term of that Court but the Jury
DISAGREED The legal costs had then amounted to
$500. The case was continued to the present
term and tried again, last week, at Fort Madison.
The Jury, this time, decided in the case, finding for
the plaintiff, or that the tail was partly white
The costs have now reached $500. Upon the
| final trial, four members of the bar were arrayed
| on the side of the defendant, Counsel fees and
other expenses are, of course, to be added to the
costs in estimating the amount expended upon this
| litigation about a calf worth about 49," ;rs
| BENEFITS OF ExERcIsE.-As man is compound
of soul and body, he is under an obligation OF a
double scheme of duty, and aslabor and excuse
conduce to the health of the body, do study and
contemplation to that of the mindj for study
| srengthens the mind exercise does the body.
The labor of the body frees us from pains Of the
mind, and this is which makes the poor man hap
py. The mind, like the body, grows tired by being
too long in one posture. The end of diversion is
to unband the soul, deceive the cares, sweeten the
tolls and smooth the ruggedness of life.
As the body is maintained by repletion and
evacuation, so the mind by employment and relax
| alton Difficulty strengthens the mind as labor
does the body. Life and happiness consist in
| action and employment Active and masculine
spirits, in vigorous youth, neither can nor ought to
be at rest. If they debar themselves from noble
object, their desires will move downwards, and
they will feel themselves actuated by some low
and abject passion or pursuit. AS the sweetest
rose grows the sharpest prckles, so the hardest
labor brings forth the sweetest profts.-The end of
labor is rest; what brightness is to rust labor is to
ideness; idleness is the rust of the mind and the
inlet to all misfortune. Diligence is the mother Of
virtue. ST.. aa .# Hlg L:a 9
When it is known, says Plato, how exercise pro-
duces digestion and promotes health, comeliness
and strength, there will be no occasion to enjoin
theuse of such exercise by a law, or to enforce an
attention to it on the candidates for health, ygor
and personal charms. R'g. ~,
GEoRGrA-The Columbus Enquirer. staunch
advocate of the Constitutional Union party, has
placed the names of Scott and Graham at the head
of its columns and goes to work manfully in their
cause. Wenotice also that the Savannah Repubi-
places both the Scott and Graham ticket and
the Webster and jenkins one, at the head of its
columns. All the Wing and Union papers in the
State doing battle against Pierce and King, and
the chances seem to be that many of the Union
Democrats will not vote for these gentlemen, the
ground hatt is peculiarly the ticket of the Seces
sionists. ,-'Ns' &C.
TIE DRuSKARD's CoGNoMEN.-Dr. Franklin, in
speaking of the incorporate drinker, says he will
never, or seldom, allow that he is drunk; he may

groatable, confoundedy cut; may see two moons,
be among the Phillstines, in a very good humor,
have been in the sun, is little feverish, pretty
well entered, &C.; but neper drunk. 7n

exhausted, and no longer yield the quantity or the
quality they formerly did. rEg-- 7 aw
