hand to the hour-hand of the time-piece.
"Why, I have been all around the dial
since we parted; and there are you, just
one figure from the place where I left you. "
"And yet I have done as much work in
the time as you have" answered the hour
hand.
"How do you make that out" said the
other, as he advanced to pass him.
$780," was the reply. "Your journey
all around, and mine from figure to figure,
are each an hours value; all are not able
to arrive at the same conclusions with the
same ease and readiness. But this is nc
fault on either side; only they who fancy
that because they are always in hustle,
they are doing the work of the whole world,
are mistaken, and plume themselves on an
Importance and superiority by no means be-
longing to them. If you were to creep
like me, the day would last nobody knows
how long; and if I were to gallop like you
it would be over before it had begun. Let
us each keep our own place, and then the
business we are both upon will be well
done between u.s..

STRONG ARGUMENT.-No cat has two
tails. Granted. Then cat has one tail
more than no cat. True. Well, then, we
have proved that cat has three tails.
The above reminds US of the smart boy
who on his return from college. attempted
to prove that two were equal to three. Point
ing to 8 roasted chicken on the table he
said: els not that oa,ee And then point
ing to another: els not that ts0o9 And

Be Your OWN HELpER.-People who
have been bolstered up and reveled all their
lives, are seldom good for anything in a
crisis. When misfortune comes they look
around for something to cling to or lean
upon. Ifthe prop is not there, down they
60.
Once down, they are as helpless as cap
sised turtles, or unhorsed men in armor,
and cannot find their feet again without as
sistance.
Such silken fellows no more resemble
self-made men who have fought their way
to position, making difficulties their step
pin g-stones, and deriving determination
from defeat, than vines resemble oaks, Or
sputtering rushlights the stars of heaven.
Efforts persisted into achievements train a
man to self-reliance, and when he has
proved to the world that he can trust him
self, the world will trust him.
1t is unwise to deprive young men of the
advantages which result from their own
energetic action by ''boosting" them over
obstacles which they ought to surmount
alone.

We have, said nothing in regard to the lo7

Jyour error that our county Had always had
the Judge. We also endorsed your favorable
mention of Mr.. Peasants, who would make
an excellent Judge.
The Chronicle places a poor estimation
upon the people of Henry county when it
supposes that all the votes in that county
will be cast as a majority of the lawyers in
that county may, dictate. The people are
quite as much interested in having a good
Judge as the lawyers are, land as they have

should have something to say in regard to
candidates. If the matter is to be left en-
tirely to the lawyers, the form of calling an
