A ROLLING STONE GATHERETH NO Moss.
We'll what of that ! Who wants TO
be messy olG stone, away in some damp
old corner of a pasture, where sunshine
and fresh air never come, for the cows 10
rub themselves against, for snails and
bugs to crawl over, and for toads TO squat
under among the poisonous weeds
1t is far better TO be smooth and pol
ished stone, rolling along in the brawllng
stream of human Ike, wearing off the
rough corners, bringing out the firm crys-
taIine structure OF the granite, or the del
icate veins ofthe agate, or the chalcedOny.
1t is this perpetual chafng and rubbing
in the whirling current that shows what
sort of grit man is made Of, and what
rise he is good for. The sandstone and
soap stone are soon ground down to sand
and mud, but the firm rock is selected for
the towering fortress, and the diamond IS
cut and polished for the monarch 5 crown.
g. Henry Wilson, convicted in Staun-
ton some time since, of the murder Of

but little favor fIom those conversant with
e case of Wilson.
