Always Room mp stairs.

A young man who was thinking oil
studying law, said to Daniel Webster:
aMr. Webster, I understand the pro-
fession Of law is quite full, and that
there are many more lawyers than are
needed. Do you think there is any
chance for me?''
s'There is always room up stairs, -
was the reply, and as true as it was in
genious.
as Only a few persons reach the high
places, and these are are always in good
demand. "There is always room up
stairs II @ a
First class farmers and merchants, as
well as physicians, lawyers, etc., always
find plenty of room, plenty Of work,
and good pay.
Whatever calling you choose, and it
matters little if it be an honest one, re-
solve to 60 into an upper story; but do
not try to jump there by a single leap,
or you may fall disabled. Rather be-
gining at the bottom of the ladder, and
patiently step up each round.

Homicide In Montgomery Co., Ky.

We learn from the Kentucky Whie
that piece of malicious and wicked
shooting occurred in the Levee neigh
borhood in that county last week. An
old grudge had existed between man
named J. @. Adams and another named
Ringo. Adams called at a place where
he knew Ringo was, went in the house
and deliberately called him out, and
then took double barrel shot gun which
he had brought with him, and fred the
contents of it through the body of Mr.
R. Mr.. Adams then made his escape
and has not since been heard from,
though dilligent search has been made
for him. Ringo, when last heard from,
was still living, though in a very critical
condition.

AN ED1ToR,s WARNING VOICE.

Brown, in taking leave of his readers
in Saturday evenings paper, gives the
following warning appeal to young men.
None can fully appreciate it, until, like
him, they have "been thar
Before you go for an Editor, young
man. pause and take big thinkl Do
notrash into the Editorial harness rashly,
Look around, and see if there is not an
omnibus to drive-some sell somewhere

cart to be filled-anything that is repu-
table and healthy, rather than going for
an Editor, which is hard business at
best.
We are not horse, and consequently
have never been called upon to furnish h
the motive power for a threshing ma
chine; but we fancy that the life of an
editor, who is forced to write, write,
write, whether lie feels right or not, is
much like that of the steed in question.
If the yeas and neighs could be obtained,
we believe the intelligent horse would
decide that the threshing machine is
preferable to the sanctum Editorial.
The Editors work is never done. He
is drained incessantly, and no wonder
that he dries up prematurely. Other
people can attend banquets, weddings,
ETC.; visit halls of dazzling light, get in-
ebriated, break windows, lick man oc-

of the Editor is all of that.
But there is a good time coming, we
feel confident, for the Editor. A time

Teach tho Women to Save.

There's the secret! A saving woman
at the head of a family is the very best
savings bank yet established---one that
receives deposits daily and hourly, with
no costly machinery to manage it. The
idea of saving is a pleasant one, and if
''the women would imbibe it at once,
they would cultivate and adhere to it,
and thus, wnen they were not aware of
it, would be laying the foundation of a
competent security in a stormy time,
and shelter in rainy day. The wo-
man who sees to her own house, has a
large field to save in The best way to
make her comprehend it, is for her to
keep an account of current expenses
Probably not one wife in ten has an idea
how much are the expenditures of her.
self and family. Where from one thou
sand to two thousand dollars are ex-
pended annually, there is chance to
save something, if the attempt is only
made. Let the housewife take the idea,
act upon it, and strive over it, and she
will save many dollars-perhaps hun
dreds-where before she considered it
impossible. This is a duty-not a.
prompting Of avarice-a moral obliga-
ton, that rests upon the women as MI
as the men.

Growing Old.
IF one has young heart in his left
breast-pocket and everything has gone
right with him ever since he can remem-
Der, and he sits in his arm chair, he may
easily fancy himself young-in fact,
juvenile, but it will not do; he is old in
spite of his heart and his arm chair, and
his fancies.
Il is a painful process, that of be-
ginning to find out what the world has
known ever so long-that one is grow
ing old. How it shocks him some day,
as he is walking in the garden, to "hear
the gardener talk to the cook about the
old man. and the old man, nobody in
life but his own adoiescent SELF Old
mani And he steps as spry as eat,
and discharges the unfortunat. gardener
and is too much in a passion to give him
a character"
"Then, again, the grasshopperis bur-
den," for little things trouble him as
they mover did years ago, but he thinks,
little things have got their growth since
those old times. Rut this don't quite
satisfy him, and he wonders why his
shadow extends so far to the eastward.

it seems to be the rod of Him who says, g

Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, IN
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; IN the glands, swellngs; and On
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders III the blood, depresseS
the energies Of life, SO that scrofulous constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous IN their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
IN this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
