The market for hogs may be considered rs

is the meat of the first seventy-tive or one

25c per head premium for Hogs.
The Louisville Courier of the 10th says:
We could hear Of no movement 10 the
market yesterday, and do not think buyers
or packers are offering over At cents. The
slaughter has not yet fully commenced,
though some 1900 head Of hogs have been
killed and cut up. We hear of sales in Bar

The Nashville papers of the Gath report
the farmers in that region as "holding back

And seemed with childish wonder,
Each object to explore.

And earnestly it gazes where
A golden sunbeam rests;
While on the new found glory

And trustfully reached forth its hand,

LIES vICITUDES. S.--1Wenty years ago
fatherless boy was placed ina third or fourth
rate country store .sfor his victuals and
clothes" His cherry face and laughing
countenance, bis accommodating disposition,
and the alacrity with which he served his
customers, soon advanced him to a better
store at dollar week extra, which he re-
gularly placed in the hand of his mother, to
aid, by marketing for others, to support her
little family. He now ships cargoes, forhis
own vessels, but embarks in no important
enterprise without first consulting that mo-
ther STILL 3 ae..a,
The son of IAN apple woman" we know
to be one of the richest men in the United
States, and who accumulated his wealth by
his own activity and enterprise not by spe-
culation, but by legitimate commerce-by
honorable mercantile competition.
A ssnice young man, " ten years ago worth
fifty thousand dollars, who delighted in hor-
ses, hounds and hunting, married a young
lady of refinement and education; he is now
living in poverty, with that same wife and
small children, in a country village beyond
the Mississippi.
Let us now go back to times long past,
and see how history teaches the same lesson.
In 1777, Mr.. Hastings received the hum
bic petition from. the Great Mogul for aid
against his enemies; ten years later and Mr..
Hastings is on his knees in the House Of
Lords, and was obliged to give bail that he
would not run away.
- In 1776, Lord North was Prime Minister
of England, the counsellor of Kings; ten
years later and it is recorded, .sLord North
was led out of Westminster Abbey by one
of his daughters"
Inl1777, there was smart active waiter
at a country tavern; ten years later he was
a nabob, baronet, knight Of the shire.
In 1777, DIR. P.went to the gallery of the
House of Commons to hear Mr.. Pitts
speech, and was turned out; ten years later
and DR.. P rose in his place in the House of
Lords to defend dairyman, while Mr.. Pitt
stood in the bar below to hear him.
By such examples let young men learn
that attention, diligent. persevering, loving
attention to almost any of the useful callings
of human life, guarantees success, whether
in monarch or republic. whether under
Kings or Presidents. That to be good at
one thing is of itself elevating. and aids to
higher success That what gives enduring
success is not family, name, nor wealth, nor
accident. nor position. nor even genius itself,
but it is steady. energetic following up Of
any one calling in the love of it, nature and
the belief of its importance. And more
without this faith and affection, no man has
ever yet succeeded in any creditable occupa-
.tion. nor do we believe ever will.
