What Culture Does.--It is well known 4aet,
that one piece of land yields vastly, more than
another piece of equal natural fertility; ana IL IS
equally well known, that one man aDounos
more in knowledge and usefulness, than another
to whom nature has been alike bountl1uI. IL IS
culture; it is the industry and perseverance OF
man exerted in one case, and not IN an other,
that produces the marked contrast in BOTH
The cultivator is shure to be rewarded, IN his
harvests, for the care and labor he bestowS upon
his soil and the reward is no less certain to him
who devotes his leisure hours to the culture OF
his mind
The soil administers to our animal wants
knowledge not only greatly assists in supplying
these wants, but is the primary of intellectual
wealth, which dollars alone cannot give, and
when united with good habits, tends to refine,
elevate and distinguish men above their fellows.
Talents not hereditory. You will see, on look
ing around, that most of the distinguished men
of our country, have sprung from humble and
obscure parentage. They are indebted for their
present distinction to the culture which they
have themselves bestowed upon their minds.
If you wish to.be prosperous in your business, to
know and profit by the Improvements OF the
age, cultivate the mind; for this is the great Ia
Dor saving machine. If you would excel as q
mechanic, or merit the confdende and esteem of
your neig ghbors seek early to qualify yourself
for the duties of social life, by the culture of the
mind. In fine, if you would prosper
in business, and in society, cultivate the
mind. But knowledge is not alwaYs VISIONS
and, therefore, be as scrupulous inregard to
your studies, as you are in regard to the seed
YOU deposit in the soil. You will reap whatever
you sow; and the mind is as liable to be cum
bered with weeds as is the soil. Acquaint your.
self with the inventions and Improvements of
modern art, and study whatever tends to in
struct you in your business, and to ht you for
the responsible duties of life.---s. T. H.

This is Boy I Can TrustI once visited a
large public school. At recess, little fellow
came up and spoke to the teacher; as he turned
to 90 down the platform, the master said, THAT
is q boy can trust. He never failed me-"
followed him with my eye, and looked at him
when he took his seat after recess. He had fine
open, manly face, thought good deal about
the masters remark. What character had that
little boy earnedl He had alredy got what would
be worth more to him than a fortune. 1t would be
a passport into the best store in the city and,
what is better, into the confidence and respect
of the whole community
! wonder if the boys know how soon they are
rated by other people. Every boy in the neighbor
hood is known, and opinions are formed of him;
he has character either favorable or unfavoradle
A boy of whom the master can say, Il can
trust nim he never failed me, will never want
employment The fidelity. promptness and
industry which he shows at school are in demand
everywhere.
He who is faithful in little will be faithful also
in much. Be sure boys, that yod earn good
reputation>s1 school. Remember, you are just
where God has placed you, and your duties are
not so much given you by your teacher or your
parents, as by God himself You must render
an account to them, and you also will be called
to render an account to him. Be trusty---be true

PROSPECTUS OF
THE LOUD0N FREE PRESS,


Having assumed the onorous and responsible
duties of public journalists, we feel the Just de-
sire to increase the circulation of our paper,
as it viii not only increase our capabilities OF
doing good, but at the same time give US rea-
sonable remuneration for our laborS. To ac-
complish this desirable end, we have determin-
ed to send out this Prospectus with request
that all who feel an interest in the increased
circulation of our paper will send us the largest
number of subscribers they possibly can. Yet,
We cannot make this request without rendering
appropriate acknowledgements to several friends
whose exertions in procuring US subscribers have
not been unnoticed by us
We deem it unnecessary to occupy lengthy
exposition of the leading features of the FREE
Press. Its political complexion is uncompro-
misingly WHIG-but we are truly glad that the
evil times of unrelenting political warfare has
for a time at least ceased, and those so long and
so recently in antagonistic array, are drawing
together in friendship and in purpose, to mingle
united effort and united wisdom to advance the
interests and the true glory Of the land. We
ook to the promotion of the interests of Agricul
ture, of Manufactures and of Commerce, as
being by far more important to the improve
ment of the country, than any political issue
upon which the American people are extensively
divided These great interests shall have our
warInest support. Our leading aim shall be to
arouse public sentiment to the importance OF
industrial progress-of enriching our fields, Of
identifying our homes-of starting up the busy
hum of industry and enterprise.
As to the merits of the FREE Press it is for
the public to judge-we can only claim that we
have earnestly endeavored to publish paper
worthy of public patronage. 1t is filed with
readable matter-containing the latest Foreign
and Domestic News-full and impartial quota
J tions of the Produce Markets of Loudon, Au-
gusta, Savannah, Macon, Charleston, and Nash
vile, with occasional quotations from other i'm
portant points-together with the prices and
number of Hogs sold in Cincinnati each week
during Packing seasOn-also the prices OF Pork
at numerous other points, so as to give our Ira
ders broad and correct basis of judgement in
regard to this important article of trade. In
word, our paper is for the business men Of
East Tennessee.
We are anxious to increase our circulation
and have determined to offer the FREE PRESS
at greatly reduced prices to Clubs-money tc

A Bridal Ciamber.-A new Hotel in New
York, called St. Nicholas was opened onThurs-
day. The Herald, in its description Of it gives
the following account of the bridal chamber.
Upon opening the door Of this room the effect
produced is almost overpowering. The bed
stands in the centre of the floor, upon broad
cushion of white satin, which projects at each
side and at the foot and head. The sides and
posts, with the seroled foot and head boards,
are of Furnished gold. From each post the dra-
perry of white satin, lined with Brussels lace,
tapers upward and downward toward the lofty
ceiling, where the curtains are united by square
canopy of FURNISHED gold. From each corner
of this canopy gilt ormula scroll springs out,
sustaining a glass chandelier. Each chande-
lier will display twenty lights. The bed IS
covered with the richest satin Brussels lace
The sheets are of muslin trimed with lace. The
curtains are looped at intevUls and confined
around thebedposts with broad resets of white
satin, to which heavy tassels of silken cord are
suspended. The room IS covered with a carpet
of the richest velvet Administer. The toilet
and room furniture is in perfect keeping with
the bed and drapery;--there is one armchair
covered with brocade gold cloth, Manufactured
expressly for the purpose, and scarcely seen in
America. The value Of this cloth is from S45
to $50 per yard. The walls ofthe room are COW
cred with white satin of great value, whilst a
pier glass and mantle mirror, Of extraordinary
lustre, light up the fairy bower. A dressing
room, parlor, bathroom complete the suit
The window hangings are of satin brocade
damask, interviewer with threads of gold.

SelfEducation.--Benjamin Franklin was a
selfeducated man. So was Benjamin West;
the one among the distinguished philosophers,
the other among the best painters the world ever
saw. Each had good teacher because he
taught himself Both had better teacher daily,
because both were advancing daily in knowl-
edge and in the art of acquiring it.
Baron Cuvier was also a selfmade man. He
was at all times under good teacher, because
he was always taught by Baron Cuvicr. He,
more than any other man, perhaps than all
men before him, brought to light the hidden
treasures of the earth. He not only examined
and arranged the mineral productions OF our
globe, but ascertained that hundreds, and even
thousands of different species of animals, ono
living moving in the waters and upon the land,
now from rocks, ledges and even mountains
Cuvier thought, however, that he owed con-
slant debt of gratitude to his mother, for his
knowledge, because, when small child, she
encouraged him in linear drawing, which was
of the utmost service in his pursuits. To the
same encouragement the world is, of course, in
debted for the knowledge difused by Cuvier
among all nations.

Speaking out in M:eting.Many amusing
anecdotes have been told of persons speaking
out in meeting, among which is the following,
which we see recently going the rounds of the
papers. 1t happens not to be new to us, but
came to our knowledge in the year 1910, when
it was our lot to preach occasionally in the quiet
little town of Kingston, Tenn. This much we
tell, but as to anything further you will please
not to question u.s. Ed. ADV.
"Those who have spoken in public, can scarce
ly Judge of the CONSERVATION of an old lady who
spoke out in church. 1t was formerly the Gus
tom in country towns, for those who lived sew
eral miles from the church, to remain during
the interval between morning and evning SER
vice. On this occasion she had taken some
milk in pitcher for the children; and in the
most interesting part of the worship, dog, who
had followed them into the pew, thrust his head In
TO the pitcher. Whetherhis headwas tcolarge, OF
the pitcher too small, is not our province to de-
termine, but having regaled himself, the pitch
er retained its position, and he was discovered
backing out, with the pitcher sticking fast upon
his head, and the milk streaminein every direc
ton on his head and shoulders. Get out you
