FAME Is A RITRRTE


name was inserted on the white marble
that covered him, and yet there were per-
SONS standing near who Inquired" Who
was he:' Why, he was tho triumphant
leader OF battle, whose achievements
were at the time, the subject of laudation
Tor ut least nine days. Forty years, how
ever, had passed since then, and his name
and deeds Were unfamiliar to one out sc =
thousand OF his own countrymcn. It is
the common fate of heroes. The world is
100 progressive and fond Of change to keep
IN iicsll remembrance those whose services
were once "pplaudcd, and who, in tl.eir
simplicity, lad imagined that the l:.urcls
they had achieved were inperishable. It
WAS liumorously remarked Of Wcllinpton.
that no man in London was SO well known
as he; that probably one in a hundred re-
cognlscd him as he appeared in public, and
that for this distinction he was chiefly i'll
deb'ed to the huge proportion Of his nose.
Literary men are aattcred by the com
mendation of their falnil;ars, and if ten
thousand copies of their publications are
dispersed abroad, they imagine they have
secured lasting fame. But where are
their books after the lapse of five, ten or
twenty years? From the tecming issue of
the press, one book out of hundred lives
perhaps five years, one out of \ thousand
twenty years, and in the lapse of CEN
tury very few indeed have escaped the dust
and cobwebs of oblivion.
TO write for fame is, hence, next TO useless.
and to exert ourselves for fame in any de-
partment-thc pulpit, the bar, the political
arena, eor instance, is labor of more vexa-
ton than profit. The generation in which
we live vii! die with us, and the next will
scarcely know us by name.
There is, however, an ambition which
is legitimate, and it is the ambition to be
good and to do good. He that converts
sinner from the error of his way, has
achieved greater work than the proudest
hero on earth, and one that will never be
forgotten. And SO of every truly good
word-it has IN enduring existence. The
man too, who secures the salvation of his
own soul, has secured Immortality, and his
name shall he inscribed in luminous charac-
tiers in heaven, to endure after all the bau.
bles of earth shall have been consumed in
the general confagration.
What lie Wanted.-We remember be-
ing at a conference meeting in Yankee
land, when deacon came around, yery
kindly asking the people "if they wanted
salvation ~
Near us sat butchers boy, some nine
teen years old-about as amenable to sal
vation as q lamb in his hands would be to
mercy. Him the worthy deacon addressed
with ...
"Do you want salvation y
"No, darn yer-I want Sal Skinner, and
the sexton won't let me take her out till

THE HOG KILLING THIS SEAsoN-THK MARKET
The hog slaughtering and packing this season
commenced rather earlier than last and will be
closed several weeks sooner this year. The mar
ket, as we anticipated, has not only assumed o
firmer tone, but prices have advanced, with sales
Saturday evening Of hogs at SIS 75n5 So and Sc
net, for heavy hogs. We also hear of a sale l 900
barrels of mess pork at SIS 80 per Dbl. The sd
vance is protested upon the deficiency of hogs,
the high price oil corn, and better feeling in the
Cincinnati market.
The slaughter and receipts this season, as com
pared with last shaw a dt ficiency up to this pc
Rod Of 26,7l6 hogs at this point. This fact has
no doubt had a marked influence upon the mar
ket. Prices last year at this time for hogs were
from ~ TO Sc, with corn selling at Zoe. per
bnshel.
At Cincinnati as we learn from the Gazette of
Saturday, the market was firm, with sales OF 500
hogs a. 50 s5a6 90. Provisions had improved,
but were relatively low er than hogs, with sales
of lard in barrels at lO4e. Mess pork is dull at
Sl5 90
st. Louis papers Of Friday quote sales of hogs
at 5a5ac. At Quincy and at Hannibal prices
were AT DC; bat at Palmyra hogs were selling at
u cents
The Bowling Green, Ky, Standard says that
Q1ing!ey & Co., of that place, had purchased 49,
O66 hogs chiefly at IS net. Other parties had
purchased 5000 hogs in the same district, making
about 10000 hogs to be packed there this season.
The highest prices paid were IS net.

THEATRE To night will be produced the great
tragic romance of the COrsican Brothers. This
play has not been performed in Nashville for a
long time and he announcement for tonight will
be hailed with delight by all our theatre goers.-
The Indictment weather which has prevented many
from witnessing Mr.. NFAFIEis performances, will
not be barrier tonight, and we have no doubt
bat the house win be crowded. Mr.. N. performed
this piece in Chicago recently for series Of nights
The Tribune speaking of him, says:
|" Mr. NEAFiE achieved most splendid triumph
in the CorSican Brothers on Thursday night. The
first act of this play is one, which under any hands
but those of a master would be very apt to be
thought dull, heavy, and unentertaning. The
lack of incident in it makes all depend upon the
manner in which the story, necessary for the
understanding of the play, is related. What
praise, then, Should be awarded to the actor who
by the mere style of his discourse, could holi an
audience OF nearly one thousand persons perfectly
euehained, hanging on his lips, and hardly daring
TO breathe, while he related story of two CoIsi
can Brothers, who lovely and pleasant in their
iivts, were not in death divided? All this Mr..
Nesie achieved on Thursday night. We sat i'm.
Enedately behind lady on that evening whose
whole soul was wrapped up in Mr.. Nesfe's words.
As he told the story-ss he drew the picture of
tEelr faithful love through life-of the parchment
covenant written in their bloOd-the death of the
one unknown to the otner-the survivor, anxious
and depressed, sitting in his chamber writing to
his dead brother; the deep, sad sigh behind his
chair; the hand laid upon his shoulder "altlough
he felt not that hand" the silent spectre of the
murdered brother waving his hand toward the
val; the wall opening and the scene of that muir
Ter portrayed in such vivid colors as never TO be
forgotten, that lady gradually leaned forward in
her seat, her eye dilated, her breath grew short,
her whole frame quivered with emotion, and as he
c5ucluded she sank back, all overcome and bathed
IN t,aFs. Nor was she alone; hundreds OF Others
felt and acknowledged the magic power OF this
story"
