SOLD OUT.

A.. r. Wigs, whose familiar and
good.humored face popped into our
Office the other day, and rendered US
quite happy, has sold out his paper
the Huntsville Independent, to Messrs.
Dew Il Young, two mighty clever
fellows, and who are fully able to
keep the Independent up to the pitch
Of Importance it has already obtained,
under a supervision of three years
by its retiring editor and proprietor
Mr.. Dew has been a partner in It's
publication ever since the paper was
commenced, and john w, Young has
been one Of the "hands.' John has
stuck close to his labors in Huntsville
and he is now in IA fair way to reap
his well .deservcd reward. John,
you'll not tramp" any more, will you!
Do you eve think of Louisville! DO
you remember that morning when
we caught you in bed at your boarding
house, and you were so glad to see u.s.
You didn't have much money about
those times, did you! We did't have
much either, but had enough to buy
some "dried herrings' which served
right well to cloy our appetites, rem
dered almost carnigcrous by a little
walk to Nashville. Oh! the scenes of
by.gonc days. how vivid they remain
in our memory. That "private con-
vcyance" trip had a good effect, we
expect. 1t made Us think more of you
than ever, and we are really glad
that we took it,, even if the turnpikes
weyc hot under q burning sun; even
if we did have to shake our bed clothes
at one certain house and lay on the
floor to avoid the pestiferous attacks
ofthosc unpleasant little crawlers so
abundant in summer time on bed
strads-cven if VIC did have to get Of
the stage when our money gin out"
1t is all past now, John, and We are
no worse. 1t is one OF the troubles to
which we can refer with pleasure,
and we don't care now if anybody does
know that we had to walk. We had
right to, and didn't we exercise that
right nobly and faithfully! Success
to you, John, wherever your lot in this
world is cast. May blessings follow
on your way.

TEARs.-We mover see a tear in the
rye, but we are reminded Ola warm
heart. The utterly d%cpravcd never
wecp-thc gushing Of Kindness and
sympathy they never know. We have
learned what no word could tell us,
from the dropping tears those silent,
eloquent messengers from the deep
fountain Of the heart. Call il weak
ness TO weep, if you may; but to us
Inars are more powerful than words.
They speak what no language can
reveal. We have been placed in cir.
cumstanccs--and who has not! when
our Succcss or defeat has been decided
b. "a tear, who have received trucr
answers than words could give, by the
moislened eye and shaded brow.
Whenever you find tears, be not
uiIo or harsh. Step lightly around
the sacred place. Break not the ioun.
tain, sending forth its holy obIation.--
If ever there is a call for kindness, it
IS when sorrow broods over the heart.
We would not number among the first
friends the mar or woman who
never sheds a tear. We ask but this
in the hour of adversely and disap-
continent, and it is all VIC expect
y.hen We are lowered to our last rest.

will kill any business, or at least re-
tard its growth, SO that it will never
yield II profitable increase. 1t may be
said that an advertisement will not
compensate for its insertion. This is
"a supposition, and we think with the
probabilities largely inclining to the
contrary. Many men have dated the
basis of a princely fortune, from "a
