THE CABINET.---The Washington cores.
pondent ofthe New York Courier and Enquirer,
in letter dated the 10th Instant says:
From letter received this morning. there is
the best reason to believe that the President
elect has determined to bring General Gushing
into the Cabinet as Secretary of State, or of the
Treasury: Colonel Clemens, of Alabama as
Secretary of War, and Governor Marcy in some
responsible capacity. 1t is found that Governor
Marcy is the only member of the party in New
York whose appointment will be acquiesced in
by the Hunkers and Barnburner'. 1t is sup
posed that Mr. Buchanan will be tenderd the
mission to England Governor Seymour, of
Connecticut will go to Mexico. The contem-
plated alteration in the foreign policy the gov
ernment is expected to lead to very speedy
and sweeping changes in its diplomatic repre-

MANHOOD AND YouTH.-Old age likes to
dwell in the recollections of the past, and mis-
taking the speedy march of years, often is in
clined to take the prudence of the winter time
for a fit wisdom of midsummer days. Manhood
is bent to the passing cares of the passing mo-
ment, and holds so closely to his eyes the sheet
of to-day" that it screens the tomorrow from
his sight. But the impulse of the young heart
makes him take higher stand, whence he looks
boldly upon the fair sight, and not shrink be-
fore the giant shapes of approaching events, as
the eagle, your country's symbol, shrinks not
from the dazzling rays Of the sun. The past
belongs to the old-the present to manhood
the future to the youth; and the past to this fu-
tu-e must be planned, because swift is the pace
of never,rcsting time; in the twinkling of an
eye the future becomes present-past. Thus
blend together the interests of age, claiming
from every age its part of youth is energy. 1t
is energy which first climbs the mountains top;
and the tops is gilded by the rising sun, when
in the valleys the gloomy shadow dwells.-
There is cold in the shadow, and the shadows
of the past are the coolest ofthem all.-Kossuth.

The T,ro Lires---Beautifuli is old age-beau-
tiful is the slow dropping, mellow autumn of a
rich and glorious summer. In the old man ma
ture has fulfilled her work; she loads him with
the fruits of well-spent life; and, surrounded
by his childrens children, she rocks him softly
away to grave to which he is followed with
blessings.
God forbid we should not call it beautiful, but
not the most beautiful. There is another life,
hard, rough and thorny, trodden with bleeding
feet and aching brow; the life of which the
cross is the symbol; battle which no peace fol-
lows, this side the grave, which the grave
gapes to finish, before the victory is won; and,
strange that it should he so, this is the highest
life of man. Look along the great names Of
history; there are none whose life has been 9TH

PROSPECTUS OF
THE L0UD0N FREE PRESS,
For 1882

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 will 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 unnoticcd 10y US.
We deem 1t unnecessary to occupy lengthy
exposition Of the leading features of the FREE
Pass. It's political complexion IS uncompro-
misingly WHic-but we arc truly glad that the
evil times Of unrelenting political warfare has
for time at least ceased, and those so long and
so recently in antagonistic array. are drawing
together in friendship and in purpose, to minglc
united effort and united wisdom to advance the
interests and the true glory Of tie land. We
look to the promotion Of the interests Agricul-
;ure, of Manufactures and of Commerce, as
being by far more important 10 the improve
ment of the country, than any political issue
upon which the American people are extensively
divided These great interests shall have our
warmest support. Our leading aim shall be to
arouse public sentiment TO the importance of
industrial progrcss--of enriching our fields, of
beautifying our homes-of starting up the busy
hum of industry and enterprise.
As to the merits Of the Free PKEss it is for
the public to judge-we can only claim that we
have earnestly endeavored to publish a paper
worthy of public patronage. 1t is filled with
readable matter--containing the latest Foreign
and Domestic News-full and impartial quota
tions of the Produce Markets of LouAon, Au-
gusta, Savannah, Macon, Charleston, and Nash
vile, with occasional quotations from other i'm
portant points-togetheT 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 a broad and correct basis of judgemen: in
regard to this important article of trade. In
n 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 Clnbs---money to
accompany the names, as follows

Truth IN COnrersdtion.--The love oftruth is
the stimulus to all noble conversation. This is
the root of all cha ities. The tree which
springs from it may have thousand branches,
but they will all bear a golden and generous
fruitage. 1t is the loftiest impulse to inquire
willing to Communicate and more willing to re-
ceive-contemptuous of pretty curiosity, but
passionate for glorious knowledge. Speech
without it is but babble. Rhetoric is more
noisy but less useful than the tinman's trade
When the love oftruth fires up the passions,
puts its lightning in the brain, then men may
know that prophet is among them. This Is
the spring of all heroism, and clothes the mar
tyr with a fame that Outshines the fame that
kills him. Compared with this, the emuiations
of argument--the pungencies Of sarcasm-the
pride of logicthe pomp of deelamation---are
Us the sounds of an automation the Voice of q
man.--Dcrey.

Honesty in Buying and Selling.-Some are
not honest in buying and selling. Their rule
is, to buy at all times as cheap as they can, and
sell as dear as they can. This is wicked rule
We often trade with those who do not know the
worth of the thing bought or sold. 1t is cheat
ing them to make the best bargain we cam
Sometimes we trade with those who are in great
want. and we fix our prices, and make them
much too high if we sell, or too low if We buy.
There is fair price for everything. He who is
lust and true and loves his neighbor as himself
will soon find out what fair price is. Almost
all men use too many words in buying and sell
ling; and when 100 many words are uSeoi' 'hefe
~ almost always a lie somewhere.

A BEAUTIFUL PIcTURE.-The maa who
stands upon his own soil, who feels, by the laws
of the land in which he lives-by the laws of
civilized ratons;hsfesby the constitution of our
nature under q wholesome influence, not
easily imbibcd from any other source. He feels,
other things being equal, more strongly than an
other, the character of man as the lord of an
inanimate world. OF this great and wonderful
sphere, which, fashioned by the hand of God,
and upheld BY his power, is rolling through the
heavens part of his----his from the centre to
the sky. 1t is the space on which the genera
tion moves iii it round of duties, and he feels
himself connected by a visible link with those
who follow him, and to whom he is to transmit
home. Perhaps his farm has come down to
lros,, his fathers;-tut he can trace their
footsteps over the scenes of his daily labors.---
The roof which shelters him was reared By those
to whom he owes his being. Some interesting
domestic tradition is connected with every en-
closure. The favorite tree was planted by his
fathers hand. He sported in boyhood beside
the brook which still winds through the mead
ows. Through the field lies the path to the vii
tage school of other days. He still hears from
his window the voice of the Sabbath bell which
called his father to the house of God; and near
at hand is the spot where his parents are laid
down to rest and where, when his time has come,
he shall be laid BY his children. These are the
feelings of the owners of the soil. Words can
not buy them; they flow out of the deepest foun-
tains Of the heart, they are the life springs of
fresh, healthy and generous national character,
