It seems that all times are alike adapted for
happiness, and that if we grow old, as one
should grow old, the last days of life must be
the happiest of all. Every Stage of life is bat
the PREPARATION for the next one. 1t ia the
treasure, house in which are collected all the
pleasures that are to make the future time
happy. Tho child has indeed but,faw troub-
les, Lut they are as great t, him as larger
ones prove to his parents. i asked o. friend
once, speaking of the happy, cloudless days
of his childhood, if be you'd always like to be
a child. He stopped for a moment, and then
said, 10. 1 think he was right There is
progress in everything-in our means of hap
piness, and in our capacity for enjoyment
Then let us not look back upon the time win
kled face of the past only with feelings of re-
greet. Give me the present flowing and full Of
life and the future glorious with bright visions.
l would rather lool; forward than look back;
rather spend the golden hours in working out
present happiness, than in vain regrets for the
past. 1t is but the helm to steer our onward
course The future lies before It's thes steep
and rugged mountain, up which lies our way.
1t is not genius, nor fortune that paves the
way to emiRence, but carnestoess, self-cOntrol,
and wisdom These arc in our hands; let US
use them, and when at the sunset of life we
turn to look back on our path, and see it
stretching far down before us peacefully, hap
ply we may lay ourselves down to rest.

EpauttC,Il incident.

4 correspondent OF the Preston, Chronicle

good while ago boy named Charlie had
a large dog which was very fond Of water, and
in hot weather he used to swim across the riv-
CT, so he tied string to the dogs collar, and
ran down with him to the waters edge, where
he took off his clothes ard then holding hard
by the dogs neck and the bit Of string, he
went into the water, and the deg pulled him
across Alter playing ,slio;ttt On the other side
for sometime, they tetrrled the way they had
gone hut wtet Charlie looked for his clothes
he could find. .nothing but bis shoes The
wind had bloRn all the rest into the water
The dog say what had happepea, and making
his litIla master let 20 the string, by making
him believe 10 bite him, he dashed into the ri
yer, and brought out first his coat, and then
all the rest in succession. Charlie I ressed and
went home in wet clothes, and told his moth
er what fun he and the dog had he'd. His
mother told him that he did very wrong IN
going across the river as he had done, and that
he should thank God for making the dog take
him over and back again safely foFif the dog
had made him let go in the river he would
NEST l,i.ely hare EunR, ard been drowned
Little Charlie said, "Sbail thank God nov
mamma z" and lie kneeled down at bis moth
er's knee and thanked God then, getting up
again. he threw his arm around his dogs neck
saving, F." / thank you too, dear doggie,,fo not
letting eo.'' ;. Little Charlie is now Admiral
Sir Charles Napier.

Rumored Negro 1nsurrection.
Last night in Baton Rouge, Oct. 18th, oul
usually quiet city was thrown into state ol
great excitsment, by current rumors of an in.
tended rising of the negroes in this place
and Of the plantations in the vicinity.
Anonymous letters were received by the ed.
itors Of the Advocate, and by the Mayor, pur.
porting to give information of well regulated
plan by the negroes to assemble during the
night, and take possession of the United States
Arsenal anG the Branch Bank, and being thus
provided with money and material to com.
mence campaign against the white popula.
ton. TIE report spread like wild-ire, and our
citizens turned out in large numbers, armed to
the teeth. and the streets and the suburbs were
patrolled all night.
Nothing transpired, however, to confirm the
rumor. This morning negro barber, named
Joe Craig, was arrested, and was ordered by
the Mayor to leave the place Immediately
He was President of negro association here,
and circumstances caused him to be looked up
on with strong suspicion. 1t is said that he
was driven from Montgomery, Alabama, for
tampering with slaves.-N o. Delta.

CO We have been favored with visit from
DR.. j. B. Phillips of Chester Co. Pa. The Doctor
is the American whose unfortunate resemblance
to the Italian patriot Mazzini, our readers NAV
remember, recently cost him an imprisonment
while travelling through Switzerland.
After ramblc of two years on the Continent of
Europe, the Doctor visited the Mississippi Valley
in search of home, is attracted to Minnesota bv
tho famo of our climate and tho fertility of our
soil, and like sensible man rs he is, determines
to take up his residence among us. He has purch-
ascd of our friend Col. McKenty, 5000 acres of
choice lands in our beautiful Cottage Grove dis
trict, for the sum of $4,000 being but S. per
acre, and brings his means, his good wishes and
his energies to assist our infant developments.
Now the wonder involved in this whole matter
lies simply in the fact that such choice lands so
near St. Paul and in locality so admirable, can
be obtained at so low figure. But the mystery
is solved when it is remembered that the purchase
was made of Col. McKenty. ssMac'' is most
indefatigabe fellow and it is no secret that he has
done more to people our Territory with the right
sort OF folks, than any other one man in it. We
unhesitatingly advise all persons seeking homes
in Minnesota to give him an Opportunity to SIX
them in way that they can never regret.
This sale attests the falsity of the too prevail
ent impression that property with US has reached
too high figure. DR.. Phillips tcsti6es that Real
Estate rules lower by 25 to so per cent. in and
about St. Paul than in any town he has visited of
like character and prospects west of the Allega-
nies.
